DAY THREE: WATCHING A MOVIE
"Luke…"
"C-Clive please don't—"
"AHHHH!" a chainsaw sounded, and the screams continued until a squishy sound was heard. Clive Looked down at Luke who was cuddling into his side, eyes squeezed tight.
"Luke we don't need do watch this if you don't want to.." Clive said, gently running his hand through Luke's hair.
"B-but you were so excited to watch it.." Luke mumbled. Clive was about to scold him, when Luke looked up at him with watery eyes, biting his lower lip. Clive's eyes widened and his cheeks quickly flushed, looking away, he ran a hand through his hair, before sighing and composing himself.
"How about we watch a mystery murder? You know, a real one. I was excited because it said this was a mystery murder, but this is nothing but a gore fest." Luke blinked a few times and moved himself from Clive's side so they could look face to face.
"…mystery Murder?"
"Yeah, I usually try to figure out who the murder is." Luke was quiet for a moment before a smile came onto his face.
"Okay!"
Clive had rented a movie, and thankfully, it wasn't a gore fest like the last one.
"It's the girl."
Luke looked over at Clive, giving him a look.
"The girl's the only witness." Luke objected.
"Which makes her most likely be the murder." Clive said. Luke's eyes turned to the screen, his eyes
becoming alarmingly serious, which shocked Clive.
"It's the detective." He said, eyes narrowing.
"He only has one arm." Luke said, rolling his eyes. Luke looked over at Clive, and Clive felt chills rundown his spine at Luke' smile.
"Watch."
And so the duo did. As the story progressed, it showed the girl grabbing a knife and hiding it in her dress.
"Told yo-"
"It's not over yet."
Clive's eyes widened at Luke's tone and he quickly looked over at Luke. Luke's eyes were on the T.V., a look of complete certainty in them. It scared Clive a bit, for when Luke usually solved mysteries, he always was a tad doubtful of his selection, at least a bit, but Luke seemed so sure. Clive looked back at the screen.
The girl charged at The detective, the knife aimed for his back, while he continued speaking. Before she could get to him, a truly disturbing smile came to his face. A hidden arm shot from his coat and whacked the knife from her hand. The girl looked in shock as he saw the hidden arm was soaked in blood, along with splatters on his shirt.
"I had hoped you wouldn't find out," A deep chuckle came from him "I don't wish to hurt you, now I'll give you mercy if you tell me who did it."
Tears ran down her cheeks as she clutched her dress.
"..." the girl could only stare in shock.
"Tsk, tsk." The detective said, wagging his finger at her. He soon smiled and pointed at himself.
"C'mon, betray your friend."
She stayed silent.
"Just say the name of the person before you! Say my name!" He began laughing. The girl began shaking, tears falling as she backed up. The laughing abruptly stopped
"Time's up."
The screen went black and soon credits began rolling.
"Clive looked over at Luke in shock."
"How did you?.." Clive murmured, confused. Luke winked and smirked.
"Can you figure it out?"
Clive sighed, resting his head in his hand.
"Nope, you're solving skills are too complex for me." Clive replied jokingly, earning a laugh from Luke.
Later as the two got ready for bed, Clie stopped Luke from the other going to bed.
"Clive? What is it, is your AC broke again? I told you I don't use mine much, but you can-"
"How did you figure it out?" Luke blinked a few times before he got what Clive was asking. Giggling slightly, he leaned up and kissed Clive cheek, earning Clive's eyes to widen in surprise. He looked down at Luke, a hand over where Luke had kissed him.
Luke lips began moving as he explained how he knew, and when he was done, he headed in.
But Clive was still too distracted by the kiss to know what he said, which is what Luke had planned.
