Elliot was microwaving popcorn while C00lkidd was picking out what movie to watch for the night. Elliot didn’t have too many horror movies, as he was easily scared, but his family loved to watch them whenever they visited. He thinks it’s because they love to see him get scared at even the slightest hint of a jumpscare. Mia had even bought him Horror movies as gifts before.
Anyways, Elliot knew C00lkidd was going to be choosing a horror movie to watch. It’s Halloween, and she couldn’t really go anywhere, even if she had a Halloween costume. Elliot also didn’t want to hand out candy and just leave her alone, as that wouldn’t make him a good boyfriend.
Elliot smiled at that. He was now dating C00lkidd, and every time he got a reminder he felt like a teenage girl and wanted to kick his feet. “Elliot, how do you feel about watching IT? We can watch the second after, just so the night’s a bit longer.” Elliot turned to look at C00lkidd while they spoke, as they held up the dvd. “If you want to, I don’t really watch scary movies too often so I don’t know anything about what happens in that one.” He said as he took out the popcorn from the microwave and poured it into a bowl.
Elliot sat down on the couch with the bowl, which C00lkidd took as a sign to start the movie. C00lkidd quickly put in the dvd before sitting down next to Elliot. C00lkidd was already eating the popcorn despite the movie not even being a minute in yet. Elliot moved closer to him, and placed the popcorn on the coffee table.

Elliot really should’ve seen this outcome coming. He was wrapped around C00lkidd, hiding his face in their shoulder while fully leaning on them. C00lkidd had their arm around him in an attempt to comfort him while continuing to watch the movie. It was nice of them, despite it not working to well.
When the movie was over, Elliot was pretty much glued to C00lkidd’s side and would not leave. “So, I’m guessing that we aren’t watching IT 2?” C00lkidd joked as Elliot was basically on top of him. “Absolutely not, I think I’m gonna have nightmares of this for the next couple of weeks.”
“If you want, we could sleep together for the night?” C00lkidd gently offered, as Elliot hugged her tighter. He paused for a moment as he thought it over. “I would like that.” He softly spoke, clearly a bit embarrassed by the looks of it, as his face was slightly flushed. “Why are you red. You know I meant literally right?” She joked, causing Elliot to throw one of pillows on the couch at her. She laughed.
