Matthew frowned to himself, this wasn't what he had in mind for something 'fun' to do.
Watching a movie.
No wait let's retry that.
Watching a scary movie.
Watching a scary movie with Ivan. ALONE.
Certainly you can understand the young Canadian hadn't expected to be watching a movie with the Russian. It just wasn't something he ever could see himself doing, but here he was.
It wasn't that Matthew was afraid of being in a room alone with Ivan, he had done that many times. The problem was that Matthew HATED scary movies… Thanks to Alfred, Matthew vowed to never watch another horror movie AGAIN. EVER. Of course, if his first horror movie was with someone oh… I don't know maybe someone civil like Arthur for example things wouldn't have been so bad. Matthew would've gotten scared, Arthur would've comforted him and everything would've been A-okay.
BUT NO.
Alfred had begged for his beloved little brother to watch the movie with him. Of course the movie just had to be at night, midnight to be more exact, in total darkness. Now Matthew might've gotten over that part, maybe not very quickly, but eventually. However, there was one small issue that made it all ten times worse. Alfred had made it his PERSONAL that through that night and that entire week Matthew wouldn't be able to sleep. Even now, every once in a while Matthew would still like awake in bed nervous here and there.
Okay, now don't get Matt wrong, he knew Ivan wouldn't do that sort of thing to him… he just… didn't want to appear weak in front of Russia. Also it wouldn't hurt to badly to be able to sleep peacefully tonight now would it?
Now where were we? Oh right. At the movie store currently.
Matthew watched as Ivan scanned the video store's collection of horror movies. Matthew didn't know this, but Ivan was starting to suspect the Canadian's fear of movies, either that or he just didn't like movies. Either way he was going to have fun with this!
"Ivan… Can't we get something diff-"
"Why? Does commrade Matvey not want to watch a movie with me?" Ivan asked pretending to be sad; and of course Matthew clearly had fallen for it by the shocked look and his stuttered speech.
"I-I didn't mean it like that -I-I ju-"
"Then there is no problem?" Ivan asked voice once more filled with happiness.
"Right…" Matthew gave up… for now.
Ivan smirked to himself as Matthew looked down at the floor. Oh this was going to be a lot of fun he could just feel it. Ivan's eyes lit up in excitement as he began scanning the rows of movies once more. His grin widened as he finally found the movie he was looking for. Oh yes, this was going to be very fun!
They had finally made it back to Matthew's house after stocking up on Popcorn, and vodka for Russia. They now where in the kitchen, Ivan sitting at the table and Matthew in front of the microwave getting ready to make the popcorn.
"Are you excited to see the movie I picked Matvey?" Ivan asked, all too innocently.
Matthew paused, he had to think about that one for a second. He had to process a good reply to the Russian.
"Yeah…. Of course." Wow really? That's all he could come up with?
After much back and forth from the two nation about leaving the lights on or not, Ivan had won.
"Now sit still and I will turn on the movie for us, da?"
"… Yeah…."
Ivan giggled at Matthew's reaction and practically skipped with glee over to the television and popped the disk into the DVD player and grabbed the remote and skipped once more back over to the couch where Matthew was sitting and sat down himself.
Ivan sat pretty close to Matthew, but the younger nation was far to caught up in hs thoughts to care about something like that at the moment. He was fidgetting with a piece of popcorn between in fingers. Mon Dieuuu… He was going to die!
"Non, non! N'entrez pas là!" Matthew whimpered out, clutching the bowl of popcorn to his chest. He was so scared he hardly realized he had spoken in French.
Ivan hadn't even flinched once, he had seen worse. In real life. He was just staring at the screen and occaisonly checking on Matthew.
"It's okay Matvey~ It's only a movie!" Ivan murmured in a soft, calming voice.
"Dr-droit.. I mean Right.." Matthew muttered back, feeling stupid for being scared. Surprisingly enough though, Ivan's words had calmed him down a bit.
The more the movie progressed however, the closer Matthew seemed to move over to Ivan out of fear. Matthew was now even to scared to look away from the television, his eyes where wide in horror. Suddenly like in every good horror movie out of no where came a ghost popping up on the screen. Matthew yelped in surprise and instantly dropped the bowl onto the other side of him and clung to Ivan's arm, burying his face into his sleeve. Ivan of course didn't mind, but he was also surprised, he didn't think Matthew was this afraid of horror movie! He moved his arm so now Matthew's head was buried into his chest, and his arm now freed, around Matthew holding him against his chest tightly.
"Calm down… Nothings going to hurt you, I promise." Ivan whispered, rubbing the Canadian's back softly, trying to relax him.
Matthew nodded, still shaking lightly, other than that though he didn't move. Feeling very bad that he made Matthew watch the movie Ivan shut off the movie and reached over and turned one of the lamp lights on. He continued hugging him, whispering random nothings into the Canadian's ear, trying to get him to settle down. Matthew and Ivan continued sitting like that for a pretty long time, finally Matthew pulled himself together as best as he could, he slowly pushed himself away from Ivan, finally realizing how close they where and the position they where in the color flowed to his cheeks.
"T-thanks…" Matthew muttered quietly not looking at Ivan, who was still mentally scolding himself for allowing himself to make Matthew watch the movie.
"Your welcome Matthew… and I'm very sorry…."
"Eh?! What for?" Matthew was very confused at this point.
"Even though he pleaded for me not to, I made you watch the movie." Ivan looked like a small (sort of in some terms small) child that did the most unspeakable thing and was about to get scolded.
"It's okay.. You didn't know how bad my fear was. Besides I'll be okay…" Matthew strained a smile at Ivan, who looked at him and nodded, a small smile given in return.
They sat there in a pretty uncomfortable silence for a few minutes before Matthew's clock chimed signaling it was 11pm.
"Oh… It is very late… I should be going, da?" Ivan said going to get up, he didn't want to cause Matthew anymore trouble.
Matthew's eyes widened, he didn't want to be alone! So he did the only thing any 'smart' person would do.
"B-but it's late… and Um… it's not good to drive in the dark… I don't mind if you stay here for the night."
"Are you sure?" Ivan looked at Matthew who was fidgeting slightly, not looking at Ivan.
"Y-Yeah… I mean if you don't mind,…" Ivan smiled at Matthew.
"I would love to stay with comrade Matvey for the night~" Matthew blushed as Ivan hugged Matthew tightly
They both got comfortable on the couch again, sitting relatively close to one another and continued talking and turned the normal T.V on this time and switched to some random show. They continued watching T.V and talking like that for about another hour. Ivan was talking and starting getting worried when he wasn't get a response back. He suddenly felt some extra weight fall onto his shoulder. The Russian turned his head only to see that Matthew had fallen asleep and his head was resting against the older nation's shoulder. Ivan smiled softly at the site and once more wrapped an arm around the other nation, he flicked the T.V off and continued holding Matthew close to him as he laid down, hugging Matthew close to his chest and fell asleep as well, still smiling.
Ivan and Matthew where sound asleep, tired from everything that happened that night. Matthew had moved so he was curled up facing Ivan's chest. Both Ivan's arms had snaked around Matthew's waist, his chin resting on Matthew's head. Both nations where both very comfortable in their sleep they had not heard a very vored intruder walk in hoping to find some sort of entertainment through his younger brother. The intruder was greatly surprised when he found the two nations together on the couch.
"AH MATTIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT CUMMI BASTARD?!"
