A/N: Hi, again! Apparently I'm on fire this weekend! :) This will just be a silly collection of drabbles based on Blam's life together. I'll write one whenever I have an idea and post it here, without much conitnuity between the chapters, and lighter than my usual stories. I hope you enjoy it too! ;)
CHAPTER SUMMARY: For their weekly movie night, Blaine suggest a horror movie. Sam might not be too much into it.
WEEKLY MOVIE NIGHT
"Hey, sweetie" Sam greeted his boyfriend while entering the apartment they shared, carefully shaking his umbrella outside the door so as not to drench the floor of their place.
"Hi, love" Blaine answered with the widest smile he could muster as he finished drawing all the curtains in the room and walked to his lover to greet him and capture his lips in a loving kiss. "You're all wet"
"Yeah, it's pouring outside" Sam confirmed, getting his arms around his boyfriend's waist to bring him closer to him and give him a kiss of his own. "Luckily for me, it's so warm in here" Sam joked, gently kissing Blaine's neck.
"Geez, you're cold" Blaine exclaimed with a high pitch voice when their skins made contact. "Go and change into a dry and fluffy sweater while I finish making some popcorn, honey. Our weekly movie night is about to start"
Blaine gently disentangled himself from Sam's octopus arms and lips with a chuckle and pushed him towards their room. Sam reluctantly complied in the end and went to change into drier clothing.
"Why did you draw all the curtains?" Sam asked from the room.
"I thought it would help create the right atmosphere for a creepy movie" Blaine yelled back, as he took the pan with the popcorn out of the fire.
"A creepy movie?" Sam asked, coming back to the living room again in dry and comfortable clothes, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Yeah, I realized we've never watched a horror movie together, how crazy is that?" Blaine asked, chuckling and shaking his head at the fact they've never done something so common after so many years together, as friends first and as a couple later.
"What are you talking about, we've watched tones of horror movies together" Sam replied, grabbing some refreshments from the fridge to go with the popcorn.
"Tell me one" Blaine dared him, leaving the enormous bowl full of popcorn on the coffee table in front of the sofa and moving to switch off all the lights until they were only illuminated by the TV.
"Well… there was that one… with the…" Sam tried, but even he could tell he was not fooling anyone.
"See?" Blaine happily remarked, glad to be right, as he sat on the sofa and patted the space next to him for his boyfriend to sit. "There has to be a first time for everything"
"So what are we going to watch, then?" Sam asked, and as soon as his butt touched the sofa, Blaine jumped into his arms and snuggled on his chest, glad of the extra warmth that Sam's body always provide.
"The Amytiville horror, the Ryan Reynolds version from 2005. I've heard it's pretty scary"
"Great" Sam mumbled to himself, but Blaine heard him.
"What's wrong? Are you one of those machos that always claim the movie is not scary enough?" Blaine asked, lifting his head from Sam's chest to look at him.
"Well, you have to admit that if a scary movie is not scary, it's like a total waste of time, isn't it?" Sam tried to reason with his boyfriend, but Blaine was having none of it.
"Can we just give it a chance before deciding it's not worth it?" Blaine pleaded, giving Sam his best version of his puppy eyes that he knew his boyfriend couldn't resist, and that time was no exception.
"Ok, fine by me" Sam relented. "But are you sure you want to watch this? I don't want you to get too scared and not be able to sleep later. You are too much of an insomniac without fueling it"
"Oh, don't worry about me, love, I'm sure you'll hold me and protect me if I get scared. You're my knight in shining armor, after all" Blaine smiled adoringly at him before nesting himself in Sam's chest once again and resting the popcorn bowl on Sam's lap so they could both reach it. "Ready?" Blaine asked, holding the remote on his hand and pointing it at the TV.
"As ready as I'll ever be" Sam mumbled, and Blaine decided to ignore his boyfriend's grumpiness.
Blaine chatted amicably through the introduction of the film, hardly noticing Sam was only answering with monosyllables. But only a few minutes into the film, things started to get intense and Blaine shivered a bit and chuckled nervously, looking embarrassedly at his boyfriend.
"It's getting creepy" Blaine said, with a chuckle.
Sam's only answer was to struggle to smile back at him and squeeze him more strongly to his chest. Too strongly.
"Ouch, honey, I appreciate you wanting to protect me, but don't squeeze me so tight, you're hurting me" Blaine laughed, only half joking.
"Sorry" Sam apologized and slightly lessened his grip on his boyfriend –if only for a couple of minutes.
It wasn't that long until the first fright, although still small, came, with the bad luck that some thunder from the storm outside resounded all through the house at the same time. The combination of both stimuli made Sam jump so brusquely that it hurt Blaine's neck –still resting on his chest– and made the bowl fall to the floor, with all the popcorn spreading on their feet.
"Ouch!" Blaine exclaimed, holding a hand to his neck.
"I'm so sorry!" Sam immediately apologized, moving to massage's Blaine's neck for him with both his hands. "I wasn't expecting the thunder"
"It's okay" Blaine answered, gently removing Sam's hands from his neck to let him know he was alright. "But you're sweeping that disaster later"
"Deal" Sam agreed, still feeling guilty, and opened his arms for his boyfriend to fall into them again, though Blaine refused this time.
"I think I'll just sit at your side, just in case more thunder decides to join the party" Blaine explained, kind of sarcastically, and he sat up next to Sam.
As the movie went on, Sam was feeling increasingly uncomfortable, now that he didn't have Blaine's body in his arm to squeeze when he got nervous –not scared, just nervous–, so after a while, he couldn't resist it any longer and he hooked his arm with Blaine's.
"I thought you'd be scared" Sam justified himself when Blaine looked questioningly at him.
"Yeah, lucky me you're so thoughtful" Blaine answered, his voice full of irony.
But when the storm outside continued unabated, or even grew stronger, and the flash of lights could be seen even through the curtains, and then the tension on the film escalated quickly towards another fright, Sam couldn't stand it anymore and hid his face on Blaine's shoulder while clinging painfully to his arm.
"Blaine, please, make it stop!" Sam yelled, his voice muffled with Blaine's sweater, and the latter hurriedly grabbed the remote and pressed on the stop button.
"Sam, honey!" Blaine worriedly called, his hand moving on its own accord to Sam's hair to gently caress it comfortingly. "Are you alright?"
"Don't let them get into our TV again" Sam begged, his face still hidden.
"I won't" Blaine assured him.
"Promise me" Sam pleaded again.
"I promise" Blaine complied, resting a tender kiss on the top of Sam's head.
"Good"
"Sam"
"Mmmm?"
"You're cutting off circulation in my arm, honey"
"Sorry" Sam apologized, finally raising his face from Blaine's shoulder to let go of his arm and snuggle on his chest instead, reversing their previous position, now he being the one in the need for comfort.
"I think I already know the answer" Blaine started, squeezing Sam's body strongly to his chest, "but you don't like scary movies?"
"No" Sam admitted, shaking his head.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Blaine asked, starting to find the situation funny now the initial worry was dissipating.
"I didn't want you to think I'm a weak coward" the blond boy confessed, mortified about what opinion his boyfriend was going to have of him from then on.
"Sam" Blaine said, gently pulling on Sam's chin to look at his boyfriend's face. "Did you really think I was going to think less of you because you don't like horror movies?"
"I like being your protector, your knight in shining armor as you said. I didn't want you to know I'm not as brave as I seem" Sam answered, pouting in a childlike manner that made Blaine laugh wholeheartedly.
"You're just silly, let me tell you that" Blaine admonished him, gently punching him in the chest to show him he was just joking.
"Hey, you're supposed to be comforting me, not insulting me" Sam protested, but Blaine was glad to see a little smile breaking into his boyfriend's lips.
"Ok, then let me tell you that if there is one thing in which my perfect beautiful boyfriend is not the bravest man in the world, I'm so glad it's in watching some stupid movies. I think I can live without that, because I know he will protect me from everything else, and I think that is a huge thing"
"Really?" Sam asked, smiling tenderly at his sweet boyfriend.
"Of course, really" Blaine guaranteed him of it with a quick peck to Sam's lips. "Are you feeling better now?" Blaine asked, his hand moving again to idly play with the hair on Sam's forehead.
"A little" Sam admitted, with an embarrassed smile.
"Let me draw the curtains open" Blaine suggested, standing up.
"Be careful!" Sam yelled at his retreating back, making Blaine jump.
"What?" he asked, fearfully.
"There could be someone behind the window wanting to hurt you" Sam warned him, and Blaine was glad he had his back to his boyfriend so he wouldn't see him rolling his eyes.
"Oh my God, Sam, really?" he asked, and he opened all the curtains as quickly as he could so as not to prolong the scary moment for Sam. "Is it better like this?"
"Isn't it too dark still?" Sam asked, trying to sound casual, but judging by the sigh Blaine answered him with, he didn't succeed.
"Do you want me to light a lamp?" Blaine offered.
"Yes, please"
"If the lights went out now because of the storm, it would be so funny" Blaine said, chuckling at the thought.
"Don't even joke about that" Sam admonished him while waiting for him to return to his side.
"What can I do to make you feel better?" Blaine asked, leaning against the sofa's back rest.
"Could you come and put your arms around me to protect me?" Sam pleaded with a pout that knew Blaine would not be able to resist.
"Of course, love" Blaine replied with an affectionate chuckle, before he went around the sofa to sit and envelop his boyfriend with his arms. "Whatever you need"
"You're the best" Sam answered, accommodating himself in Blaine's chest and nuzzling his boyfriend's neck with his nose. "Maybe we could watch Toy Story now"
"Sure" Blaine immediately agreed, knowing that was one of Sam's comfort movies. "Let me get it"
Blaine stood up again and picked the DVD case from the shelf to put the disc on the player. He smiled at his boyfriend reassuringly and sat back down next to him, but just as he was making himself comfortable again, his boyfriend had another request.
"And maybe you could do some more popcorn too. You know, to make me feel better" Sam asked, looking as the perfect image of innocence.
"Ok" Blaine agreed and stood up again, more reluctantly that time as he got the idea that Sam was taking advantage of the situation.
"You could bring some chocolates too, if you don't mind. I think I'll need them after such a terrible ordeal" Sam yelled from the living room as Blaine made the second bowl of popcorn that day and tried not to get annoyed. "And more refreshments!"
"Remind me to never suggest a creepy movie again" Blaine said as he finally made his way back to the sofa and gave Sam all he had asked for.
"Oh, I will" Sam promised, giving Blaine a chaste kiss in gratitude.
Blaine pressed the play button and it wasn't long since Sam started laughing and enjoying the movie and they could both finally relax.
"Do you think we could we leave a little light on tonight?" Sam asked out of nothing after a while, looking a little embarrassed.
"Ok" Blaine agreed with a resigned sigh, cursing himself for having the brilliant idea of watching a horror movie.
