Every couple of weeks, we take turns hosting a movie night. The other week, Connie forced us to watch rom-coms. He'll deny it his whole life, but I saw a few tears from Dean. Since it's his turn to host, Portman wants to cancel it out with some horror films. Plus he'll try scare us. I promised to give Fulton and Averman a ride.

"Don't worry, Y/N, I'll protect you when you get scared." Averman says confidently.

"Wow, my hero." I roll my eyes and knock on the door.

"Finally, thought you weren't coming." Julie let's us in.

"Sorry, Fulton was doing his hair - getting dolled up for Dean." I laugh as I meet the others.

"Was not!" He shoves me onto Charlie and Adam who are on one of the couches.

"Oh, hi." Adam chuckles as I look at him from his lap.

"It was nice of you to drop in." Charlie speaks up. "But cya." He pushes me off them and onto the floor.

"Nice to see you too, Spazway." I groan as Jesse helps me up.

"You alright?" I nod as he sits back down. I look over to see Connie and Guy already cuddling on a beanbag. "You guys make me sick."

"We get it - you're single." Guy rolls his eyes.

"You know what, Guy?"

I get ready to beat his ass. Just as I'm about to reach him, Ken and Dwayne grab my arms and stop me.

"You just got here." Dwayne says with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Yeah, kill him later." Dean says as he walks in the room.

A few brief laughs are scattered across the room as the boys let go of me and take their seats. I look around and realise that the only free seat is between Julie and Averman.

As the first film ends, Portman orders pizzas for us. While we wait for him to come back, the chatter increases.

"I gotta pee." Averman stands up.

"Thanks for the public service announcement!" I shout as he heads upstairs.

As he reaches the top of the stairs, Dean walks back in. Fulton throws him a Halloween mask and gestures for him to hide. We all share quick glances and snicker as he disappears. A minute later, Averman comes back. Before he can sit down, I ask:

"Averman, while you're up, can you grab me a coke from the fridge?"

"Fine." He huffs and goes into the kitchen.

"Thanks, man, love you!" I call after him.

"Yeah, yeah."

Once again, we share glances and snicker. The next we hear is a shriek from the kitchen followed by Averman running back into the room and up the stairs. Everyone bursts into laughter when Dean chases him. I take the opportunity to reference an earlier comment and impersonate Dave Grohl.

"There goes my hero!"

Fulton runs over and jumps into Averman's seat next to me - high-fiving me. You can tell he appreciated the reference. Although everyone is laughing, Fulton's laughing so hard his face is turning bright red.

"He's gonna explode!" Russ laughs as he notices Fulton's face.

"Calm down, Fult, breathe." I say as I try to calm myself down.

When we finally catch our breath, Averman drags himself back downstairs. Dean gives a laughing apology.

"You got me. This isn't over." Averman smiles. Before he can get to a seat, I ask:

"Did you get my coke?"

"Fuck you."

"Love you too, Averman."

Now that Averman is sitting with Goldberg, we start another film. About 40 minutes later, things are getting pretty tense. You can tell by the music that something bad is about to happen. As it reaches the climax, a few of us jump - it's the pizza guy.

"I'll get it!" Adam gets up.

"Money's by the door!" Dean calls to him.

Fulton is one of the people who jumps at the knock. In doing so, he accidentally hits his head on mine.

"Ow." I rub my head.

"Sorry, are you okay?" Fulton asks with regret.

"Yeah, how's your head?"

"Never had any complaints." He smirks.

Charlie, Julie and Dean spit out their drinks as Luis screams, "What the fuck?" in a fit of laughter.

"You know what? I'm not hungry anymore." Goldberg pulls a face.

"That can't be good." Banksie says as he returns with the pizzas. "What the hell did I miss?"

We explain what happens as he puts the boxes down - he just face-palms. Eventually, we continue watching the movie and eat every single slice of pizza. Throughout the night, we watch a few more films - plenty of scares and pranks - before people decide to head home. It's about 11pm and the only people left are myself, Dean, Fulton and Averman.

"You guys wanna stay the night?" Dean offers. Fulton and I agree but Averman objects.

"Nah, I'm gonna have nightmares as it is."

"I'll take him home." I say as I try to find my keys.

"Can we swing by my house so I can grab a few things?" Fulton asks.

"Yeah, I was gonna get some stuff from my place too. Come on, Averman, let's get you to bed. Want me to tuck you in and check for monsters?" I tease.

"Again, fuck you." We all laugh.

"We'll be back soon." I say as Dean shows us to the door. "If you want, when we get back, we can watch one of Connie's rom-coms for you to cry at again."

"Shut up, I didn't cry!"

"Whatever you say, sunshine." I laugh as we close the door and head to the car. He's definitely gonna be hiding when we get back.
