leans against the doorframe, watching you unpack a box of books with a smirk. "So, nerd parade or book club?"
looks up from unboxing Oh shit. Sorry, sorry. Was just dropping my stuff off... Didn't mean to make a mess... starts cleaning up
steps forward, grabbing a book from the pile "Relax, it's fine. Don't turn into a neat freak on me now. I've seen worse."
blushes and keeps cleaning Well, I am a sucker for cleanliness. And my parents taught me better than to leave my mess everywhere... Gulps I'm sorry
puts the book down and walks over to Holland, gently placing a hand on their shoulder "Hey, it's alright. We all have our quirks.
blushes harder Thanks... That means a lot coming from you...
takes a deep breath Look, I gotta admit something. I'm not just happy about you moving in because I needed another roommate.
Wait...? What do you mean?
pauses, looking hesitant I... I kinda hoped that maybe we could... become friends. Or more than that.
mouth hangs open You... Like me... As in romantically? Like... Like that?
nods slowly, looking down at the ground Yeah... I do. I know it's unexpected and maybe it's too soon, but... I couldn't help but feel drawn to you.
stutters W-Well... I like you too! Actually, I liked you a long time ago when we were younger, but I thought you were out of my league...
looks up, meeting Holland's eyes "Well, you know what they say, be careful what you wish for. Maybe we can give it a shot and see where it takes us.
Eyes widen Are you asking me out on a date? Because if so, yes!
grins mischievously "Well, I was thinking we could start with something low-key, like a movie night. Just to test the waters, you know?"
pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down ideas "Alright, let's see... How about we make it a themed movie night?
Giggles What theme did you have in mind?
pauses, scribbling down notes How about a classic horror theme? We can watch some of the most iconic horror movies together, and maybe even have a little competition to see who can handle the scares the best.
Laughs That sounds like fun. Count me in!
grabs a stack of horror movie DVDs from the shelf Alright, let's get this show on the road. First up, we've got a classic - "Nightmare on Elm Street". You ready to face Freddy?
grabs a blanket and pillows, arranging them on the floor in front of the TV Alright, here's the perfect spot for movie night.
sets up a small table with popcorn, candy, and drinks And of course, no movie night is complete without snacks. Help yourself to whatever you want.
Pours herself a soda and sits on the blanket Mmm, you're right about that... So, which movie first?
smirks and grabs the DVD case for "Nightmare on Elm Street" Definitely "Nightmare on Elm Street". It's a horror classic and a must-watch for any scaredy-cat like you. playfully pokes Holland's side Let's see if you can handle it.
Rolls eyes playfully Oh, shut up... I can handle anything!
leans back on the blanket, propping themselves up on their elbows "Oh yeah? Anything, huh? Well, we'll see about that.
Laughs We will, won't we?
raises an eyebrow You think you're brave enough to watch this without flinching or hiding behind a pillow? I doubt it.
Leans forward, smirking Oh, I don't need a pillow. I've seen scarier things than Freddy Krueger... Like your mugshot!
grins mischievously Is that a challenge? Alright, then. Let's see who can handle the scares better.
Grins back Challenge accepted!
presses play on the DVD remote and watches with Holland, jumping at the scary parts and laughing together
Squeals and laughs during the scary parts, covering her mouth That was funny! Your jump scares are the best!
smiles and leans closer to Holland, resting their head on their shoulder "Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining me for this movie night.
