Disclaimer: I mention the Saw and Scream movies. But they are not of my own imagination.
Horror Movies
She hated watching horror movies. It made her clingy and completely on-her-like, kind of. So maybe she was a wuss all the time, but no one knew this more so than he.
-
He loved it. It meant him and her in a dark room, and her clutching at him each time someone screamed. Hence his appreciation for SAW I, II, III etc… and Scream's 1, 2, 3 etc... uh duh?
-
She had only ever kissed one boy. Who broke her heart right after.
-
He thought kissing was the boring bit. Or so he constantly told her.
-
She once told him that he was like her pet, easy to get rid of (lock him outside) and to take care of (a box of cereal and milk fed him, plus he'd been potty trained before they started flatting together). Perhaps the order with which she thought it was wack, but that was just her.
-
He once said that the only reason he liked flatting with her was because she was the only girl he knew he would never be attracted to in that way. Of course he was lying.
-
She was completely gullible.
-
He had no idea what she thought sometimes- especially when her eyes would glaze over and she would stop talking, for days.
-
She would think about the only boy she had deigned to like, and perhaps how different she might have been if she had not been so trusting. Her thoughts would then turn to him, and how they worked so well. Platonically. Occasionally her thoughts would teeter off the platonic road and this would cause her to panic and not talk to him for days on end.
-
He hated that she refused to speak to him sometimes. He always felt like he'd done something wrong, and when he would ask she would just look at him with her wide eyes and shake her head. Then proceed to close herself off from him and it would be like living alone.
-
She never understood why he flatted with her, he should have flatted with a bunch of other guys who had common interests. It didn't help that her friends often accused her of being involved with him, at which she would laugh and shake her head at. Such folly- correct?
-
He dated some of her friends, but none of the relationships lasted long… nor would they bode well. It's not his fault he fell for someone who thought he was her pet.
-
She hated seeing her friends (one by one) fall prey to his charm, and parade their 'relationship' in front of her, purely as a reminder that -for the moment- he belonged to them. It made her sad to know that when he grew tired, he'd end up hurting them. However she would never give the 'I told you so' speech. It just wasn't her style.
-
He finally began to date someone he might like for more than a week.
-
She was happy for him, but wondered why she felt a little queasy every time he brought his new girlfriend over. But she quickly found that his new girlfriend was perfect for him, who was she to question perfection?
-
He was just glad to have her approval, he knew that he wouldn't have been able to move on to someone she didn't approve of. It was awkward for the first week, but soon enough they continued on as they had before. Well except for him either not being home, or not alone when he was.
-
She didn't mind it much when his new girlfriend, became just his 'girlfriend'. The mere fact that his girlfriend had lasted this long, meant that his girlfriend was good enough to hang around. Right?
-
His girlfriend was finding it hard to trust him, he had thought his girlfriend understood his close friendship with her- but the more he became accused of cheating, with her, the more he found that he had been wrong about the girl he called girlfriend.
-
She saw that he was becoming increasingly miserable as of late, and it was eerie when he refused to talk to her. She didn't think it would hurt so much for him to close himself off from her.
-
His girlfriend would not stop. However, perhaps it was because every time he was with his girlfriend he was constantly thinking about someone else. It culminated in him forgetting about his girlfriend's dinner plans, because she needed him more.
-
She found him on the couch one day, staring at the empty wall- with her jaded expression on his usually carefree face. She sat beside him and patted his back.
-
He told her that his girlfriend thought there was something going on between him and her. The hand on his back made him realise that they hadn't watched a horror movie together for nearly three months.
-
She laughed, subtly ignoring his girlfriend's suspicions before teasing him about it saying that a horror movie would be bad. For the claw marks on his arms would give his girlfriend the wrong idea.
-
He shook his head, grabbing a new horror that he knew she hadn't seen, and popping it into the DVD player. He was yet to tell her that his new girlfriend, was now his ex-girlfriend. He didn't think it was that big a deal.
-
She hated watching horror movies, but for some reason she was glad for a reason to bury her face into his chest. She'd missed it, and the thought made her sit back with a jolt. Or at least it would have, if he had not tightened his hold.
-
He felt her withdrawing from him, and he couldn't let her. He had not denied his (ex)girlfriend's accusations for a reason. Mainly because he had been cheating on his girlfriend and it had been with her, she just didn't know this herself.
-
She was beginning to feel giddy and she knew that her thoughts of him were teetering off the platonic road, this was bad on two levels. One: this made her nervous and therefore clam up- and two: he had a girlfriend.
She pleaded with him to let go.
-
He let go, only to ask her to look up at him, her pathetic excuse of poor lighting was easily brushed off when his lips pressed against hers.
-
She allowed the kiss to deepen before she pulled back, stammering something about his girlfriend.
-
He grinned and informed her that he had no such thing, before pulling her in for another heart melting kiss.
-
She heard a scream and jolted from his grasp.
-
From here on in he hated watching horror movies. It made her pull away from his lips, claming that all the kissing couples in horror movies died first.
-
She loved it. She'd gotten used to the blood and gore and ear piercing screams- but clung to him nonetheless.
-
He loved kissing her and he loved that he was only the second boy to have kissed her. He was going to make sure that he was the only boy to ever kiss her from now on.
-
She told him that she liked having him around, because she felt safe whenever he was in the house… and he was potty trained, meaning he never left the seat up.
-
His response was to tell her that the only reason he liked having her around was because he was in love with her.
-
And because she was so gullible, she had no choice but to believe him.
A/N: Complete and utter fluff because I'm tired and have 'Political' writer's block. Meaning I can't think of how to start my Politics Essay.
I believe this is my third one-shot. I dub it, One-Shot III. Or, One Shot the Third.
Hehe, well do leave us a review, but I better get back to my essay.
Kinda always wanted to try a nameless couple.
Now you can tell me whether it worked or not. XP
