tua headcanon (horror movies night):
luther would definitely be the type to let his siblings hide their faces in his arms whenever they get scared. heād also be kind enough to sit in the middle and hold the popcorn bowl for everyone because heās the only one who can get through a movie without yeeting it fifty feet into the air (like klaus)
diego sits on the floor, casually flipping his knives the entire time, the only indication that he ever gets scared being the way he does it faster and faster. and itās sort of an unspoken rule, but whoeverās sitting behind him gets to be diegoās unofficial pillow for the night. he especially likes it when itās allison because she has a habit of carding her fingers through his hair, and heās fallen asleep with his head in her lap on more than one occasion
allison is always in charge of snacks and drinks because she makes a mean margarita and sheās the only one in this household who actually knows how to cook something that isnāt spam or bacon or eggs or instant ramen
the ghosts in horror movies donāt actually scare klaus; c'mon, the man has seen way worse shit than that. itās just that some of them look too much like the ones he sees in real life, and so he has a hard time disassociating afterwards. still: that little boy from the grudge never fails to freak him out, and whenever heās on screen, klaus throws popcorn at the tv until he disappears
five doesnāt really care for horror movies but he does appreciate his siblingsā efforts to bond, and so he sits with them for the hour or two it takes to finish a movie with next to no complaint. sometimes, he falls asleep only twenty minutes in, and has to endure all the teasing about being an old man when he wakes. when he does make it through an entire film, itās only because heās busy pointing out continuity errors or how ridiculous the other effects are
ben sits with them, but doesnāt really engage; heās too busy reading for that. itās also pretty uncomfortable for him to watch movies about dead things and monsters under beds when he finds out that in another timeline, he was dead for 17 years before he managed to move on. besides, he gets more scared from the sound of allison, klaus, and vanya screaming than the actual movie anyway
once, they decide to watch a lovecraftian horror film, and ben thinks itād be funny to release a few tentacles and sneak up on everyone from behind. the result is one wasted bowl of popcorn, a knife missing his ear by a few inches, vanya shattering at least three vases, and klausā incessant screeching about āyou couldāve killed me, ben! do you want me to follow you around for the rest of your life? no? yeah, didnāt think so!ā but hey: itās the best prank heās ever played, and itās just so, so worth it
vanya tries to pretend like she isnāt scared, but she actually is. horror movies had never been her thing, even when they were young. but klausā running commentary is actually pretty funny and allison sometimes tells juicy stories about the actors, especially the ones sheās worked with in the past, and so vanya stays. besides itās nice to curl into lutherās side and feel him jump a bit whenever somebody on screen gets murdered, and itās even nicer to laugh at him afterwards when he tries to pass it off as being ācoldā
afterwards, they retreat to their respective rooms. but in the middle of the night, allison hears her door creak open and in creeps klaus, tugging ben by his sleeve with vanya not too far behind. after a while, luther comes as well, half-dragging a protesting diego behind him
theyāre in the middle of making an awesome fort when five teleports in, carrying a box of griddyās donuts and a carton of milk to wash it all down. for some reason, theyāve always just known when the others are in need of sweets, and tonight is no exception
while they eat, they share stories about their childhood and although it has the potential to turn sad really quick, it also helps them grow closer when they realize just how much they have in common, even after all these years. saving the world thrice from an apocalypse does that to a family, i guess
five is the last to fall asleep so itās his duty to turn the lights off, but before he does, he takes a minute to take in his sleeping siblingsā faces: of benāstill slightly distant but slowly accepting that this is where he belongsācurled against allison, who has always thrown off heat like a furnace; vanya burrowed under three comforters because even as an adult, she still gets cold at the drop of a hat; klausā head resting on lutherās chest; diego face-down into a pillow, his hand stretched out towards the space theyāve all reserved for five, searching for his brother even in sleep
and in that moment, five just feels so much love for them swell up in his chest that all other worries fly out of his head because what else could matter when his family is here and safe and together again? so five flicks off the switch, lies down, and lets diego mash his face into his shoulder because even if he wakes up all drooled-on tomorrow, thereās still no place heād rather be
