They were siting in the girl’s dorm room, it was their usual Friday movie night. This time everyone voted for a horror film, “classic” they said, though Neil had no idea if it’s true or not. Nicky said that for a better experience they need to turn off the light, this way the atmosphere will be right. Though the sound of the film was constantly interrupted by someone’s chewing of a popcorn, so probably that’s also an important part of the atmosphere. He can only guess.
The sitting arrangement was okay this time: Renee and Allison together on a big comfy armchair, Dan and Matt in a hugging mess on the part of the couch closest to them, Andrew in a blanket on a beanbag between the armchair and the couch, Nicky and Aaron on the floor in front of the screen. Neil was sitting beside Kevin on the other part of the couch, which was a very predictable move considering the fact that not long ago Foxes found out about their relationship. The immediate question was “how tf it had happened?”, and what can he say, a close friendship tend to bloom into something more passioned with time. Of course it was a surprise to Neil too when Kevin actually made an effort to initially move to this stage, but eventually he came to the conclusion that he wanted this development as much.
Right now they were sitting side to side with a blanket thrown over their shoulders. To Neil film wasn’t creepy at all, more like slightly frustrating with all of the inaccuracies, though it can’t be told about other people. Matt occasionally gasped on an especially gory moments, Nicky jumped a little at every other screamer, he can even feel how rigid Kevin became. Redhead glanced at him and it was obvious that something was wrong: pale skin, eyes open wide, a tremble in brunette’s hands. He was obviously panicking and it wasn’t good. The whole situation wasn’t idealistic to Neil already, so he decided that his new idea will be just perfect to relax his boyfriend.
Redhead lowered his head on Kevin’s shoulder and sighted loudly. When he was sure that everyone’s attention was on him he started complaining about all of the unrealistic scenes in the film.
─That’s completely wrong, you have to be so much stronger and put more energy into the move to actually brake someone’s neck!
Neil can see in the corner of his eye how Andrew lifted his eyebrow in obvious question. He kept on going.
─Well that’s just straight up misinformation on the topic of human anatomy! No one can bleed so much out of this specific type of a cut!
This time even Aaron nodded in agreement, though he didn’t look happy about it. Soon most of the Foxes agreed that this film was too bad to keep watching it, so they decided to put on something else. Now they were watching some comedy that was apparently another “classic” and that Neil never heard about. Well, at least now he can tell how much more relaxed Kevin got. He already lifted his head back from brunette’s shoulder and was sitting upright again. Neil felt how shivers went down his spine and hands when Kevin carefully moved his head lower and whispered right into his ear.
─Oh, I see what you did right there~
Redhead can hear the smirk in his tone. This situation made him slightly blush and stutter.
─I-I have no idea what you’re talking about, there was absolutely nothing.
He immediately felt nervous because of the confrontation. He had a new wave of shivers when Kevin let out a small chuckle.
─You made them change the film because I didn’t like it.
─It’s a lie, I did no such thing, you’re imagining it.
─You know what, I don’t need you to confess, I’m still thankful for this.
After this words he left a light kiss on Neil’s cheek and returned to watching the TV. Redhead could feel how a big bright smile showed on his face. He was so happy that he even decided to ignore all the stares and people giving each other money.
