Cordelia was starting to regret agreeing to watch this movie with Misty. When she had said that it was a sort of 'Halloween ritual' for most people to marathon Horror films she didn't mean that she liked to. But of course Misty would want to experience the entire holiday, and Cordelia didn't want to disappoint her girlfriend or deprive her of her fun.
Before the movie started Misty had turned and whispered teasingly into her ear "My mighty supreme ain't scared is she?" Yes, I'm about to jump out of my skin.
"No, of course not! That's ridiculous."
The only plus side is that she was nuzzled into the crook of Misty's arm, with the swamp witches waist in a death grip. And that they had a plate of the greatest pumpkin bread on the table and a bowl of candy at their feet.
Cordelia inhaled deeply, gripping Misty's hand tighter as the suspenseful scene continued. And suddenly there was a jump scare and Cordelia jumped and buried her face into Misty's neck, squeezing harder around her middle. "Why did I put up with this again?"
"Because I make the best pumpkin bread and you decided ya' wanted a life time supply." Misty joked, too engrossed in the movie to notice Cordelia was starting to get the heebie jeebies.
When the supreme didn't audibly snort or made a sassy retort Misty paused the movie and rubbed her free hand up and down Cordelia's back.
"Are ya okay sugar?" Misty asked quietly, threading the other hand through sleek hair.
"Honestly, I've been better" Cordelia murmured into Misty's neck, too afraid to look up at what might be frozen on the screen.
"We can go do something else, it ain't that good of a movie anyway."
Cordelia lifted her head to look into Misty's concerned eyes. "Can we just cuddle for now, and maybe later you can make more of that bread?"
Misty nodded and Cordelia slipped a leg in between Misty's to get more comfortable, scooting so that her head was resting on the Cajun's chest.
Misty placed a loving kiss to Cordelia's head and smiled "Sounds perfect. An' next Halloween we'll marathon nothin' but The Nightmare Before Christmas, Halloweentown, n' Hocus Pocus."
The supreme let out a content sigh. "I love you and all that you do for me."
"I love ya too, an' I wouldn't wanna be doin' anything else."
