Lucy and loke couldn't tell you if rated horror movies on Netflix were a blessing or a curse. They were great to watch together because they were just so ridiculous but also a curse because no matter how ineffective the fear factor actually was- horror movies just have this way of making you feel uneasy.
Watching the credits trickle down the screen, loke began to look for the remote patting alongside him maybe a little too desperately.
"Uh, are you sitting on the remote?" Looking away for the first time since the movie ended Lucy looked around. "I thought you had it."
They stood up now both eagerly looking for the remote.
The music that accompanied the credits was probably the worst and most unsettling part of the whole movie and hearing the shrieks and weird music made the darkness of
Loke's apartment claustrophobic.
Lucy clicked on the light and the two spent a couple more minutes digging for the remote in the couch they'd spent the past 2 and half hours silently.
Digging a bit farther Loke had ripped it from its cozy prison. Both standing back to tv Loke swung around but, just before he could push mute, or stop, or switch channels a final cheap jump scare brought the two to their knees.
Lucy laughed, mind you he didn't laugh off his own falling but was laughing at Loke who was noticeably shook.
"Ahh," Loke groaned frustratingly, "I was trying to hurry before something like that happened."
"I can't believe that little scare got you." Lucy shamelessly teased despite falling for the exact same jump scare but he knew Loke wouldn't call him on it. He just sat there looking adorably shaken clutching the remote for moral support since his boyfriend was run dry of some apparently.
Lucy took the remote from his hands and clicked onto daytime television. It was now 7 o' clock and the pizza was growing colder by the moment on the coffee table.
Responsibly Loke kneeled down and retrieved the pizza box and brought it to the kitchen, making sure to click on every light on the way there and hesitatingly shutting off every light on the way back.
Sitting back down into their sofa crease Loke made note of the way Lucy hadn't attempted to move from that spot since the jump scare. If Loke were anyone else, he'd be bombarding his boyfriend with teases but honestly it was better to just leave somethings left unsaid while he found shelter and comfort in the crease of his boyfriend's body.
Lucy looked down at him silently. Funny that, ever since they'd begun dating a lot of time together was spent in silence. Not that this was a bad thing. It wasn't like they couldn't figure out what to talk about. They usually had plenty but on late romantic nights they just needed some serenity. Just enough time to be alone together in peace.
Which makes the whole B horror movie watching seem a little odd but watching shitty horror movies and eating a new pizza (this time a grilled cheese pizza and the two approve) was their Friday night tradition. Loke was doing everything to find that peace and watching Will Grace on television cuddled up to your boyfriend was the closest way to do it.
"What the fuck am I watching loke?" he heard him sneer from above him.
"It's juvia and gray ." Loke explained.
"I know that smartass I meant, why are we watching it?"
"I like it, it's really funny actually."
"
' loke chuckled to himself and settled for grabbing Lucy's hand on the other side of his body pressing a kiss to it and snuggling back into his angry crease.
Watching silently Lucy spent a little too much time trying to pass his chuckles off as coughs and Loke couldn't be more satisfied with that.
The tension had finely worn off and the two were left with comfort once again.
Loke was first to fall asleep and Lucy not long after. His phone had vibrated a few too many times and each one he ignored avoid telling any of his friends that he was on a date even though they most likely knew, they teased- he seethed. Rinse and repeat.
"Damn loke." He half whispered half grouched. Still wanting to get his two cents in but also not wanting to wake him.
Lucy adjusted from beneath his boyfriend and made it so that he was spooning him on the couch. He pressed a few tender kisses on the back of his neck and nestled before drifting off.
Little did he know, Loke was only half asleep and beaming. Before sleeping for real.
3 hours had passed when the two were both stirred out of a good sleep due to Lucy's phone. Checking it angrily he hissed and tossed the phone across the room.
"Kacchan? What is it? Is everything okay?"
Lucy rubbed his face and despite having just woken up started yelling. "It's fine, but it won't be for much longer when I beat Kirishima's ass!"
Loke relieved that it wasn't any family emergency sat and indulged Lucy despite being equally as tired. "What did he do?"
"He keeps blowing up my goddamn phone with fucking pictures of him and all those other (those other fuckers being his group of friends) at some fucking party!"
"Maybe you should have put your phone on silent." Loke offered, making Lucy click his tongue. He usually clicked his tongue when he knew Loke was right but couldn't bring himself to admit. And after a moment of more silence came his arguably weak, response.
"Maybe I should put you on silent." The two sat looking at each other before Loke chuckled a bit. "What does that mean?"
Unwilling to accept defeat Lucy closed some of the space between them. "How else could I make you shut up?"
Though it was kind of silly, such flirtatious antics always hit the mark for Loke. Moments like these where they were both talking to fill empty space and what they were saying was never what they were saying. Loke wrapped his arms around their boyfriends and that was enough for Lucy to pin him into the couch before kissing him into silence for the next 15 minutes.
In that moment all Loke could think of was how most of this was going in one of his journals. The smell of Lucy that was always so nice despite sweating constantly. The shape of his body and how it always felt so safe and secure. Then there were the kisses that left Loke fuzzy all over.
Then again it could be from just waking up too. They kissed under tv lights changing, to the sound of a laugh track, as they both tasted distinctly of Pepsi and grilled cheese pizza.
By the time midnight pulled around, and there were easily 5 hickeys on both their necks. Loke walked Lucy out to his car.
"I had fun." He says honestly despite it being ripped out of every dialogue from anything that features dating ever.
"You don't have to say shit like that when we just sucked face for half an hour." Lucy says leaning up against his Jeep.
Loke boldly leans up against him and continues this frivolous conversation.
Lucy gives him a questioning look but it isn't in anyway disapproving.
"It's chilly outside." Loke flat out lies but he smiles the whole time saying it so it's flirtatious and adorable and it works wonders because Lucy is now looking at the stars as if that's something he does.
It's made even funnier that it's 90 degrees out, Loke is just wanting to be close to him. That's all he can think.
"Well are you going to let me leave? Or do you need more of me?" Lucy asks smirking in a way that makes Loke want to scream. "YES, YES! PLEASE STAY AND NEVER LEAVE."
But they've got stuff to do tomorrow and they can't afford to indulge in themselves just yet even if they really, really want to.
Loke only leans into his ear and says, no shouts. "Rahh!" he says really loudly and jolting Lucy completely affectively scaring him.
