Finally, a Corney story for all you Corey/Laney shippers out there! Enjoy!
(Laney's POV)
I was at Corey's house during a sleepover. Just the two of us. We were trying to find out what to watch. I sat on the couch as Corey was going through his movie collection. After about a minute, Corey took one out.
"Aha! What about this one, Lanes?" He asked, walking over to me and showing me the movie. I took it from him and looked at it. It looked like your average, dumb, cliché zombie movie. I shrugged and sighed.
"Sure, Core. Put it in." He chuckled as he took the movie.
"Well, don't you sound thrilled." He joked. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. He put the movie in, and came over to sit by me on the couch. I blushed a bit by our closeness. As the movie started playing, I watched, mentally groaning at how crappy it was. It wasn't scary at all. Corey was usually the scaredy-cat when it came to things like this, but even he wasn't scared, which just showed how bad the movie was.
But then I realized something: We were watching a scary movie, and he was sitting really close to me, making it the perfect recipe for romance to happen. Or something along the lines of that…
All I had to do was act scared. But this movie was so terrible. And almost nothing ever scares me. Was I really willing to swallow my pride of being a tomboyish, tough-girl just to get a little affection from Corey?
Heck yes!
So, while we were watching, I waited for a part with a jumpscare. Sure enough, one came, and I jumped. Not too much, but enough for Corey to notice. He looked over at me with worry on his face.
"Lanes, are you okay?" He asked, concerned. I nodded and pretended to be scared.
"Y-yeah, it just…scared me a little. That's all." He smiled reassuringly at me.
"Aww, it's okay, Lanes. Here." He said, putting an arm around me. I blushed a great amount, and leaned into him slightly. "You don't have to be scared, now. I'm here." He said. I knew he was only doing this out of his naturally touchy and caring personality, but it still made my heart race, and my blush redden. I sighed as I rested against him. I soon grew tired as the movie began to end, and the feeling of Corey's warmth made me more so. I felt my eyes start to shut as I was powerless to stop the sleep from taking over.

As the movie ended, I was about to ask Laney what she thought of it, but she was already asleep. I smiled, and moved her so that she could rest a bit more comfortably on my chest instead of my shoulder. I heard her mumble something in her sleep, and she smiled, clinging tighter to me. I began stroking my best friend's hair, and something about this made my heart speed up a little. I don't know why, though. So, I just shrugged it off and allowed myself to slowly start to fall asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I found myself with my head on Corey's chest, and his arm around my back. I smiled and blushed, wrapping my arms around his abdomen and burying my face into his chest. I had only dreamed of moments like this. If only he ever reciprocated it. I sighed because I knew it would probably never happen. But then I realized something. Maybe I could fill my need for his attention…
That's it! It's so simple! All I have to do is act scared whenever it's relevant, and he'll comfort me just like he did during the movie! Oh, this is gonna be good…
Laney, you conniving, little...
