Modern day AU

Movie Marathon.
Finnick walks through the door and he sees Annie in the kitchen. Her hair is up in that messy bun he loves but, even though her hair is up he still sees a flour in it and on her cheek.
He walks towards the kitchen and wraps his arms around her and is holding her by the waist a few inches in the air.
Annie is giggling.
"Hello." He says and kisses her cheek and puts her down. She spins around and smiles.
"You know a simple hello will do the trick." She smiles.
"Where would the fun be in that?" He says and cups her cheek in his hand.
"I guess there wouldn't be." She smiles.
Finnick removes his hand and brushes off the flour.
"What are you doing in here anyways?"
"I dunno?" She smiles and says sarcastically.
He rolls his eyes.
"Why do I bother asking?"
"You knew the answer." She smiles.
He rolls his eyes.
"Fine what are you making?" He says but before she can answer his eyes see the brownie batter and he reaches for the bowl.
Annie grabs his wrists so she can stop him for the inevitable.
"Finnick no don't ruin the whole batch."
"I was just gonna get one scoop." He smiles.
"You're a child." She smiles.
"Brownie batter is good Annie, almost… almost as good as cookie dough." He smiles.
"Finnick you can't eat this it's to eat later."
"But this is just for us, yes?" He asks.
"I see what you are doing Finnick, but no that doesn't mean you can eat the whole batter."
"But Annie-
"No Finnick you can eat the leftovers and act like you were raised in a barn and lick the bowl and everything." She smiles.
Finnick scoffs.
"Because you've never licked a dish." He smiles and kisses the tip of her nose.
"But I'm the baker so I can do whatever I want." She smiles.
"Well as the consumer shouldn't that rule apply to me to."
"You can't talk your way into this Finnick."
He kisses her.
"You sure?"
"Yup, like I said you get to lick the bowl and the spatula."
"I feel liked I'm getting cheated here." He says and kisses her cheek.
"Did it ever occur to you that you could make your own brownies and then eat some of the batter, or eat it until you get sick." She raises her eyebrows and smiles.
"So much effort Annie Cresta." He smiles and kisses her cheek.
"I would ask you to help me make the frosting but I know you would just eat all of it."
He shakes his head.
"I don't like frosting as much."
"It's the raw egg that is missing." She teases and let's go of him and grabs the bowl and spatula and gets ready to pour it into the pan.
Finnick hops on the counter and gets a head shake of disapproval from Annie.
"Annie." He says.
"Yes." She smiles and hands him the spatula. Which he happily takes.
"You doing anything today or for the rest of the weekend?"
"Finnick you know the answer already besides, you live here."
"I was just asking to be polite." He smiles and takes a lick from the spatula.
"Why did you have something in mind?" She asks intrigued.
"Remember we got those movies from Mags." He says.
She nods and puts the brownies in the oven.
"Well, I was thinking we could watch those."
"Nothing scary though." She says almost immediately.
"Annie come on, I would protect you besides it's not real."
"Yes but if I have a nightmare then it's on you."
"Fine we won't do anything scary during the nighttime." He smiles.
"How long is this gonna last?"
"All weekend." He smiles.
"Okay but if we are gonna do this, we are gonna do it right." She smiles.
"What does that mean?" He asks confused.
"We have to eat all the things you are supposed to during a movie."
"You mean popcorn?" He asks confused.
"Pizza, popcorn, twizzlers, milk duds-
"Since when is pizza a movie snack?"
"When you watch at home it is." She smiles.
"Fine I think we have all those candies so now all we need is pizza."
"Good we can make some." Annie says and then hands him the bowl to lick.
"We are very fancy aren't we." He smiles.
"It's not that hard we can make the dough and while it rises we can watch one of the movies or tv shows that would probably be easier." She smiles.
"Okay." He says and gets them. "These have been remastered with extra features and everything." Finnick says over dramatically.
"Awesome? I think." Annie says and Finnick smiles.
"There are only three and they are the Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows and Doctor Who."
"What are they about?"
"Let's see Doctor Who is about a time lord, the last of his kind and he is traveling the galaxy in his TARDIS aka Time and relevant dimension in space. And this Doctor has fun adventures with his companions."
"Why would his last name be Who?" Annie asks.
"I didn't make up the show."
Annie rolls her eyes.
"What's next." She asks.
"Okay Dark Shadows is a gothic soap opera with mythical creatures and apparently this season is centered around Barnabas Collins who is a 175 year old vampire."
"Okay and Twilight Zone?"
"Is stories of the unknown and the episodes aren't connected."
"Twilight Zone sounds boring. I'm curious about this Barnabas Collins but, I am also curious about why the Doctors last name is Who."
"Fine which do you want to start with?"
"Doctor Who then if we like it we can keep watching or go onto Dark Shadows." She smiles
Annie makes the pizza dough while Finnick starts to put on tv.
He starts and Annie comes over once she is finished.
"Oh my god it's British." Annie says excited.
"Keep your pants on Annie." Finnick says shaking his head.
They watch an episode and Annie keeps pausing to ask questions that Finnick doesn't know the answer to.
"Okay the episode is over what did you think?" Finnick asks.
"Is his name Doctor then?" Annie asks.
"I think it's not more of a question Annie like Doctor Who? I don't think they know his name."
"Why is it a police box?"
"I don't know Annie." He says.
"It seems like they travel forward in time and just got themselves in trouble and why can't his sonic screwdriver do wood?"
"I don't know Annie, you're over thinking this." Finnick smiles.
"And why do these people just go off with some stranger who says he is an alien?"
"They want to travel through time."
"And how can the TARDIS be bigger on the inside?"
"Annie you are way over thinking this." Finnick laughs.
The timer goes off singling the brownies are done. Annie gets up and Finnick follows her.
"Can I eat one?" He smiles.
"If you want to burn your mouth be my guest." She smiles.
"I don't think you liked that Doctor Who." Finnick smiles.
"I just don't get it." She says.
"Okay we can watch your Barnabas Collins next."
"Let me check the pizza dough." She says and looks at it
"What's the verdict?" Finnick asks.
"It hasn't risen enough."She says.
"Maybe after this Barnabas Collins episodes it will be." He smiles
"Isn't the show called Dark Shadows?" Annie asks.
"You said you were intrigued by the vampire Barnabas Collins." He smiles.
"It's not because he is a vampire Finnick."
"Whatever you say." He smiles and they go back to the living room.
Annie presses play.
"Okay you see a coffin covered in chains and your first thought is too open it?" Annie smiles.
"He thinks the family fortune is in it Annie."
"If you see a coffin covered in chains you don't go ahead and open. It like scary movies when you read the Latin words out loud why is it always Latin? Also when you go upstairs when the killer is chasing you, when you should go out the door. It's basic knowledge Finnick." She says and Finnick smiles.
They watch the rest of the episode and Annie likes this one better because Barnabas wanted to find his old love even though he was conning the family and doing terrible things.
The pizza dough is ready and they make theirs and then decide to watch Casablanca next.
"Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Then it fades to credits.
"Okay this one was good." Annie says.
"Eey." Finnick says unimpressed.
"Finnick it had gangsters, action, guns, and a nice romantic story."
"It was obvious what was going to happen."
"Was not" Annie says.
"You just can't read between the lines." Finnick says and kisses her.
She rolls her eyes and they start to eat their movie classic food and watch Monty Python and The Hole Grail which they both liked. Wizard of Oz which Annie has seen before but Finnick hasn't and didn't like it because of the musical components.
They are currently watching A Nightmare on Elm Street despite Annie's wishes of watching nothing scary.
"One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four, Better lock your door
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight, Gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, Never sleep again..." The little kids from the movie sing eerily.
"No, no turn it off." Annie says.
"Why?" Finnick ask confused.
"Creepy little kids jumping rope and singing in a creepy bone chilling voice. No."
"Annie it's not that scary and like I said-
"This 'Freddy' kills people in their sleep tell me Finnick how will that not give me nightmares?"
"Because I will protect you."
"You can't protect me in Freddy's dream land." She mutters.
"Annie I'm sure in the end they kill him or something." Finnick says.
The movie ends and Annie shoves Finnick's shoulder because they didn't kill Freddy, he killed all of the victims by gaining control of their car and smashing a girl into the windshield.
"They didn't kill him Finnick it looks like he killed all of them."
"They could've been driving." Finnick says.
"Do I have stupid tattooed on my forehead?" Annie smiles "Freddy was driving the car and slammed that girl through the windshield."
"Like I said I can protect you at night." He flashes a smile.
"Not if you fall asleep. Let's just watch seething else."
"The rest are scary Annie, but if you want we can watch another episode of Dark Shadows or your Wizard of Oz."
"Why don't you like that movie?"
"Why were they singing for no reason? I just don't get musicals." He says.
Annie rolls her eyes.
Finnick just puts Doctor Who on again and once Annie stopped questioning it she did like it a little better. She ends up falling asleep on Finnick's shoulder despite saying she would be too afraid to.
Finnick stays awake a few more hours watching her sleep to keep his promise to protect her in case Freddy Krueger does come after her.
A/N: I know the ending is a little cheesy but I liked it. This is my first time doing a modern AU so I hope I did an okay job. Also for Doctor Who it was the earlier Doctors and not the ones from the reboot (My favorite is David Tennant though, but my favorite companions are Amy and Rory. I miss them but Clara was okay I guess…) Also all the movies are the originals and not the remakes. I have seen all the things that are in this story so I hope I did an okay job explaining them.
I hope you liked it Odestalovebaby.
Thanks for reading!
