Third Update of the night! I have no homework, as you've probably guessed….this was prompted by 'stuckbeingrachel' wow, she is full of ideas! I hope this is Rachel worthy!

It's really short though! Sorry!

'The Christmas Movie'

Beginning

"You bought a Christmas Movie….called the Christmas movie?" Jerome asked for clarification purposes, he knew that she had. But as he lay on her bed, legs outstretched, watching her fiddle with his laptop, he wanted to check that she was mentally alright.

"Yes I did Jerome." She sighed, tucking her hair behind her ear. "And I want us to both sit down and enjoy it. Can we do that? Because quite frankly, I have never been able to watch a movie with you, without you whispered comments into my ear."

"I do not do that!" Jerome cried

"Oh don't you? When we went to watch the joys of living, you told me the ending! In Twilight you told me who Bella chose, in Harry Potter you told me who Harry ended up with! You are not a very good movie secret…keeper!" Mara clicked play and let the music fill the room.

"Mara?" he whispered, holding his arms out, Mara all but ran too him, and snuggled into his warm chest. So what if he couldn't hold his tongue, Mara didn't need him too. And besides, his comments were normally witty and funny. But she would like the occasional spoiler alert.

Line Break

"Mara?" Jerome whispered "Mara? Hellooo?" but Mara was fast asleep, curled up against his side, her hand and head resting on his chest. His arm was wrapped around her, and the laptop at the edge of the bed, the movie wasn't half way over yet. And he couldn't get up and leave without waking her, and quite frankly.

This was the worst movie he had ever watched in his life.

And he couldn't turn it off.

He tried to focus on Mara, on how cute she was when she was sleeping, or her occasional murmurs, or how incredibly warm she was. Or how soft her hair was, or how her eyes fluttered and he knew she was dreaming. How incredibly happy he was that she felt comfortable enough to sleep beside him. If it had been anyone else, he would have drawn all over their face in permanent pen, but with her? He would never ruin perfection with his silly doodles.

But eventually, he had to look back at the screen. It was torture, it was about a small boy, who discovers the true meaning of Christmas, then tells his class, and they give all their presents to charity. And then they grow up, and teach their children. And then Father Christmas started crying at how wonderful the world was…and Jerome couldn't take it.

But eventually, the ending credits rolled around, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The room fell silent, and he snuggled into the pillow beside her. Finally, he was allowed to sleep…

Until the DVD relapsed, and started playing itself again.

Jerome groaned.

Prompts!
