— fluff, michael being overprotective, reader is a bit sensitive to horror, pet names (baby, sweetheart), teasing.
— authors note: think of michael whispering ‘are you scared?’ in your ear also not proof read because im a rebel
when Michael told you he had a surprise date for you two planned, you were thoroughly excited. He told you to dressed comfortably and you threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater.
but your smile faded the moment you arrived at the ‘surprise’
“Oh mike, absolutely not!” You shriek, stepping back from the theater that displayed one of the scariest movies yet. (in your opinion anyway..)
michael tries to cover his laugh but fails, his arm wraps around your waist and he gives a brief squeeze. “Its okay, love, its just a movie! you’re gonna be alright.”
you tremble, the grip on the popcorn tightening as he led you into the dark theater, people already settled and prepared for the thrill of the movie.
he sits down and you follow, settling beside him, trying to shake off your anxiety. maybe it wouldn’t be that bad? maybe it would be one of those cheap movies that had just as cheap jumpscares!
“Ahh!” You yell for the 5th time along with other people, burying your face into michaels shoulder to shield yourself from the horror on screen.
he’s grinning while eating popcorn but he briefly looks down and tries to coax you. “Babe, you can look now. the monster is gone.” his tone is filled with light hearted mockery.
you swat his arm and sigh. “I-.. i can’t watch this.” you shake your head and rise, excusing yourself past the other people in your row.
michael calls out, albeit quietly as to not annoy the others immersed into the movie, before he stands up and hurries after you.
“Hey!” you hear him call when you reach outside, your foot tapping anxiously on the ground. He approaches with a small smile. “Cmon, we’re missing the best part!”
“You were scared, weren’t you?”
your cheeks heat and you pout, looking away. “i wasn’t that scared.”
he chuckles and brings you close. “nah, you were scared.”
