Chapter Text
“What if she came to your house tonight?”
“No, Brian. I’m not listening to you.” You keep your eyes focused on the phone in your hands.
“In the legend, it says she-”
“I’m not listening!”
Tonight had been another one of your movies nights with Brian. It was Brian’s turn to pick, and unluckily for you, he picked a horror movie.
“I heard this one was super scary.”
Brian was right, in your case at least. Your head sinks lower and lower into your sheets until your face is pressed against your phone screen. You know it was all just stories, but for some reason you can’t quell the uneasiness in your gut. Despite all your efforts to ignore Brian, he can tell you’re nervous, and of course, he takes this opportunity to scare you even more.
“What was that noise?”
Your heart jumps, and you instinctively move closer to Brian, trying to hide behind his body. You bite your lip and peek over his shoulder to look at the door.
Brian (unsuccessfully) tries to hide the grin on his face. He brings his face closer to yours, and you can’t tell if your heart is racing from the stupid movie or from his stupid face. He watches your expression with a fixed gaze and lowers his voice to a whisper. “Maybe she’s already in your house, Y/N.”
You shove his face away. Definitely the stupid movie. “Don’t joke about that!”
Brian sits up, eyes wide. “Hey, be careful! What if she hears you?”
“Brian, I’ll seriously kick you out if-”
There’s a thump near the window, and you scream.
For a few moments, you can only hear your heart pounding in your ears. The muscles in your body tense, your shoulders reaching to your ears and your hands clutching onto Brian’s shirt. He chuckles, and you feel the vibrations right next to your ear. Anger flares up in you when you realize what he’s doing.
“Stoppp,” you whine. But you can still feel him shaking. “Stop laughing!” You hit his chest and pout. “I’m scared.”
“Ahhh. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” he repeats. He wraps his arms around your shoulders and squeezes. “I’ll stop now.”
You let out a sigh, and your muscles finally relax. That is, until you realize just how close you are to Brian. You blink slowly, and your face heats up when you notice your close proximity. It suddenly feels like electricity is coursing through your veins, and you don’t know what to do, so you just squeeze your eyes shut and dig your face even deeper into his chest.
“I’m sorry, it’s just so much fun to tease you.”
“Don’t do that again.”
“Hm? Why not? I might get to hold you like this again.”
