The movie moves on from the intense scene, the girlfriend in Paranormal Activity not finding any peace from the demon that was following her. 

“I had the best idea,” You claim, moving away from leaning up against him to look at him. He was still spooked from the movie, jittery eyes following your every movement, and you couldn’t help but let out a little laugh at how easily Eric got scared.

“Just because you like horror movies does not mean you can scare me like that,” He pouts, crossing his arms over his body. 

“I’m sorry,” You giggle, poking his cheek in retaliation. “I just had a really good costume idea for Halloween.”

Eric becomes more interested in the conversation now, realizing that the holiday was only two days away, and the two of you had yet to come up with costumes. “What?” He asks. 

“What if we do matching costumes,” You reason, watching his face for any indication that he was pleased by the idea. The ideas mentioned before all seemed to be a fail because Eric didn’t want to be a baseball player three years in a row, and you had no creative bone in your body. 

“I mean,” He ponders, thinking of matching costumes that weren’t too abnormal. “I’m surprised we didn’t think of doing couples costumes earlier, what were you thinking?”

A scream emits from the screen causing Eric to look back for a second before jolting back to you, terror evident in his eyes. “Bad idea,” He whispers.

“I was thinking,” You continue. “What if you be my boyfriend for Halloween, and I be your girlfriend.”

Eric’s face morphs into disgust, backing away as if you had come up with the worst suggestion he could think of.

“We’re literally already dating,” He scoffs, rubbing his forehead like he had a headache. 

“I know, but it was a good pickup line, right?” You grin, popping another piece of Hi-Chew in your mouth. 

“I really question why I’m dating you sometimes,” He sighs, turning his attention back to the screen. As soon as he does, the main character in the movie gets dragged from her bed by an invisible figure, causing Eric to immediately shout and hide into your side. 

“Probably because I’m the only one who’ll watch horror movies with you,” You say, groaning as you feel your side begin to ache from his tight grip.

Eric shakes his head, glancing over your shoulder to look at the screen. “Changmin will watch them with me,” He reasons, eyes fixated on the scene in front of him. 

“Okay, then go date Changmin then,” You scoff. You try to pry his arms off of you, only to be pulled into him more, practically sitting in his lap. 

“Nah, I’m good,” He whispers, placing a light kiss on your neck before turning to look at you. “Everyone needs their guardian angel with them to protect them from demons.”

You can’t help the heat that arises on your cheeks, the sudden change in his behavior causing you to become flustered. 

“Yeah, well, you are the demon,” You playfully mutter, locking your arms around his neck and snuggling into him- the sudden drowsiness hitting you after your change in position.
