"Hey, Takuma." I called, walking into his room.
He glanced up from his book. "Yeah?"
"It's Halloween tonight." I said.
"And?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Well, um..." I pulled the DVD case out from behind my back. "I was wondering if we could watch this."
"I thought you didn't like scary movies." Takuma sat up from his bed, looking at me worriedly.
"I figured...I'd make an exception tonight." I chewed on my lip, refusing to meet his gaze.
"You're terrified of this." Takuma tugged the case out of my grip.
"Yeah, but...I want to not be scared anymore." I looked up at him pleadingly.
"You won't be scared, just traumatized." He flipped it over and read the back.
I stayed silent, knowing he was right.
"Where'd you get this, anyway?" Takuma's face scrunched up as his green-eyed gaze swept over the case in distaste.
"From a friend." I muttered.
"So you really want to watch this?" He looked at me, disbelieving.
I nodded. He handed it to me. "So why'd you come and see me?"
"Cause I want to watch it with you." I accepted the case.
"She's just scared." Senri said.
I jumped, not knowing he had been listening to the conversation.
"U-u-m, well..." I stuttered.
"If you really want to do this, we'll watch it tonight, okay?" He asked.
I nodded, then hugged him tightly. "Thank you."
He hugged me back. "Let's just hope I won't regret this." He mumbled.
I crawled onto Takuma's bed, curled my legs to my chest and watched him slide the DVD into his computer. Takuma sat on the bed next to me, glanced at me worriedly, then asked, "You sure you want to do this?"
Nope. "Yup." I lied.
He sighed. "Okay then." He started the movie.
About ten minutes into it, I was really scared. So much I couldn't move. Takuma glanced at me, his eyes widening. He quickly slammed it closed, but I didn't so much as blink.
"Angel? Hey, Angel!" He shook me, trying to make me snap out of it.
I felt tears coming on. Takuma sighed. "I knew this wasn't a good idea." He pulled me into a hug, where I promptly burst into tears.
"Hey, hey, shh, it's okay, Angel." He soothed, running his hand up and down my back.
We stayed like that till I couldn't cry anymore. I fell asleep with him muttering sweet nothings into my ear.
