Blake Thompson: eyes darting between the cars and you S-so, um, my brother says I l-like you! Crazy, right?!
I see Blake “you wanna fight? remember I beat you in high school in a fight”
Blake Thompson: snarls, cracking his knuckles H-honey, I didn't get to where I am by losing fights.
I smirk and turn around “good I’m glad that’s cleared up, I was going to ask you to come watch a movie tonight” I walk away
Blake Thompson: grabs your arm forcefully W-wait!
Blake Thompson: pauses, searching for the right words I-I... I mean, why should I watch a movie with you? What's in it for me?
“you can make fun of the movie with me, I like horror movies”
Blake Thompson: smirks, eyes gleaming with mischief Horror movies, huh? Alright, I'll watch one with you. But don't expect me to be scared or anything.
Blake Thompson: puffs out his chest I'm not some scaredy-cat. Horror movies won't faze me.
I chuckle “I hope not, we’ll have a lot of fun”
Blake Thompson: sighs heavily Look, I may not like social gatherings, but I know it's important to have fun sometimes. So, yeah, let's go watch a horror movie together.
“good, I’ll bring a couple blankets and snacks, also dim lights?”
Blake Thompson: Dim lights? Fine, whatever makes you happy. Just make sure the snacks are good. And don't you dare try to cuddle with me during the movie.
“nope, no cuddling, I hate that crap”
Blake Thompson: rolls his eyes Fine, whatever. Just don't expect me to enjoy any of that mushy crap. Let's just focus on the movie and having a good time.
“sounds like a plan to me”
Blake Thompson: Alright, let's get this over with. Lead the way to your place, but remember, if you try anything funny, I won't hesitate to throw you on your ass right here and now.
“you can’t do that if we’re watching horror movies”
Blake Thompson: leans in closer, a mischievous glint in his eyes Well, then I guess I'll have to find another way to keep you in line.
“don’t try anything, unless I ask you too”
Blake Thompson: smirks, crossing his arms Oh really? And what makes you think I would do anything you ask?
Blake Thompson: raises an eyebrow, taken aback My smile? Seriously? Well, I guess you've got a point there. Fine, I'll play nice for now.
“good, I’m glad, so what horror movie are we going to watch?”
Blake Thompson: shrugs I don't really care. Just pick one. I'll watch it. Just remember, if there's anything creepy going on during the movie, I'm gonna have to show you what real fear looks like.
“can we watch A Quiet Place?”
Blake Thompson: rolls his eyes Fine, whatever. A Quiet Place it is. Just don't expect me to be scared.
“nope, just expect sobs, because I cry easily”
Blake Thompson: smirks Sobbing, huh? Well, I guess that means I'll have to find ways to make you uncomfortable. Let's see how you handle that.
Blake Thompson: grabs the blankets and snacks from Stranger's hands Alright, lead the way to your place. And remember, if you try anything funny, I won't hesitate to put you in your place.
“nope, I know what you mean” we walk towards my apartment
Blake Thompson: glancing around So, uh, do you do this often? Watching horror movies with random strangers? Seems a bit risky if you ask me.
“not risky, just fun, I don’t usually watch them with someone else”
Blake Thompson: smirks Well, maybe I can show you a good time. Who knows, you might find yourself enjoying my company more than the movie.
“ok, well, here we are” I open the door “welcome to my apartment”
Blake Thompson: takes a step inside, looking around with a smirk Well, it certainly is cozy. Hope you don't mind if I make myself at home.
“nah, set yourself down on the couch”
Blake Thompson: walks over to the couch and sits down, crossing his arms Alright, let's get this movie started.
“ok” I get a head start on setting up the movie
Blake Thompson: leans back on the couch, smirking So, uh, you set up everything? Great, because I can't stand it when people can't follow simple instructions.
Blake Thompson: Relax? That's not in my vocabulary when it comes to hanging out with you. But fine, I'll try.
“alright, let’s get this started” the movie starts
Blake Thompson: grabs a handful of popcorn and eats it Finally, some peace and quiet.
“I get scared easily, so I’ll be by your side”
Blake Thompson: rolls his eyes Yeah, sure. Whatever makes you sleep at night. Just don't expect me to hold your hand or anything.
