Chapter 6: Home Movie Theatre

Ivan stood in fresh clothes, going through his stuff and throwing larger items of clothing out of drawers and toward his overnight guest. "There has to be something here that can fit you! You're only like, 4 inches taller than me."

"Yeah, but if you can't find any I could just wear the same clothes, I don't care too much."

Ivan shook his head; "We will find something for you to wear. Your clothes from last night are all wrinkled from..." He blushed and looked away from Alfred. "Da..."

Alfred smiled at how embarrassed it made Ivan with just the slight mention, he was so cute and innocent-acting sometimes, "Alright then. But if it's too much trouble don't worry about it so much." He said, going to stand next to the younger.

Ivan pulled out a large hockey jersey with a smile, "I think I found a shirt that will fit you."

"Awesome, thanks!" Alfred said, smiling happily as he took the shirt, pulling it over his head. Now all he needed was pants.

Ivan kept rifling through drawers until he found a pair of sweatpants deemed large enough to fit his guest and not too hideous for public wear. He handed them to Alfred looking relieved to have accomplished his stubborn goal. "You're too tall, you know that?"

"Well, I am a bit taller than average, but you're just a little below average height so that might also be it." Alfred said, pulling on the pants offered to him.

"Still, I have not had many lovers so much taller than me." He paused, "We are lover now... da?"

Alfred hugged Ivan, nuzzling happily into the other's hair as he held the younger close, "Of course we are~"

Ivan blushed, ducking his head to stare at Alfred's feet. "That... That is good to know..."

"So, what do you want to do today? Since I sort of made you miss school and stuff." He didn't feel too guilty about it, but he should try making it up slightly, because school was important.

Ivan shrugged, "I don't know, we can do whatever you want. I'm not terribly picky."

"True, but I do kind of what to make it up to you, so the decision is all yours!"

Ivan's flush just spread across his skin and he shrugged, "We could go to a movie."

"Yes, that sounds awesome! Come on, let's go!" Alfred said enthusiastically, holding onto Ivan's hand and pulling him out the door.

Ivan looked up, a startled laugh escaping his lips as his new friend pulled him along, "Wow. You seem really enthusiastic."

"Of course! I love movies, oh should we rent one? That way snacks would be cheaper but it would kinda be less epic, then again, erm... which do you want? I can't decide."

"We could go to my house..." Ivan replied with a shy smile. "The one I share with my little sister. She won't come out of her room and the nurses won't bother us."

"Nurses?" Alfred asked, looking confused, "Why would you have nurses in your home?"

"My sister is kind of sick. We had a house built to accommodate just my sisters and I for when she needs company and can not handle being in public."

"Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't know that...I hope she gets better."

Ivan smiled, "It is not your fault, and I hope she does as well." Though it was hardly likely, her problems were mental not physical...

Alfred nodded in somewhat solemn agreement; he hated to think of anybody being in pain, "Well whatever works for you! To Blockbusters!"

The teenager nodded, joining Alfred and linking his arm with the blonde's. "Alright, so what movie would you like to see?"

Alfred shrugged, walking with Ivan, "I don't really know, I usually just look around and pick something out."

Ivan nodded, "Alright." He steered Alfred the opposite direction he had tried to turn in, grinning as the blond followed his lead and they head theright direction to get to where they were going instead of making their way toward the banking distract.

Alfred smiled shyly, "Good to see you're paying attention, I was just testing you is all...yeah, that's it."

The younger man chuckled, shaking his head and leaning against the arm he held. "Oh, I'm sure that was it." Was his sarcastic reply, "Because you test all your dates on their sense of direction."

Sticking out his tongue a bit at the other, he shook his head, smiling in good humor, "Well you don't know that, so yeah, maybe I do, or maybe you're just special. So there."

"Oh. Then do you? Or am I special?"

"You're just special." Alfred said, nodding in agreement with himself.

Ivan blushed, somehow he hadn't actually expected Alfred to say that, and not many people ever chose to compliment him. He bit his lips and glanced at the college student before once more snuggling into his arm. "Well... Umm... Thank you."

Pleased with the snuggling as a small reward, he nodded, "No problem, I only say what's true!" And really, most didn't usually gently correct him, just called him an idiot and things like that, so he was happy that Ivan was different from that. Gentle correction was easier on his ego.

They turned into blockbuster, Ivan still holding onto Alfred's warm arm as they entered the store, basking in the feeling of the other mans kind words and glancing around the store. "What section do you want go to first?"

"Um I don't know, you're supposed to be picking remember? But if you want help then I suppose I could suggest something."

Ivan nodded, he hardly went to stores like this, his movie collection at home was large enough and he could always order anything he wanted off of Amazon.

"Well what kind of movie are you in the mood for? Comedy, horror, romance, action, animation, classics...erm...I can't think of any other category right now..."

"Let's get a horror movie." They'd seen where porn had led them yesterday, and dumb humor could never hold his attention for very long. "Horror or action."

Alfred grinned, he always found slasher movies and stuff amusing to watch, but if Ivan liked it then okay, "Okay! Let's go check out the horror and action sections then." He said, starting to walk towards one of the labeled categories.

Ivan followed, eyes scanning the rows of DVD's as they walked by and feeling rather like... Well, a spoiled brat really. Seeing as how he had half the movies he was seeing on these shelves.

Alfred looked at all the movies curiously, he hadn't seen some of the movies, others he had heard of, but he didn't watch horror all that often, surprisingly enough.

Ivan's eye landed on a title he'd heard of, but hadn't seen, so he picked up the ghost movie, eyeing the back cover curiously.

Alfred looked over the other's shoulders curiously; sure he hadn't heard of that name before...but after scanning the back he stiffened at the obvious genre. He hoped the other didn't choose it.

Ivan smiled at Alfred, "I think I have found one of my picks. Is there anything else you recommend?"

Chuckling nervously and cursing his brillian luck, Alfred looked at the movie Ivan had apparently chosen. If he said anything to deny it, the other would know that it scared him though...not that it did, the other might just assume it, yeah, that's it. "Um...well I don't know what to get..." He was kind of distressed by the fact he would have to act unafraid during the movie so that Ivan wouldn't judge him and think he wasn't a hero, which he totally was!

Ivan nodded, "Well I have other movies if we want one when this is over, and I have a popcorn machine, so, is there anything else you want?"

"You have a popcorn machine?" Alfred said, mood quickly changing again as he grinned happily, "That is so awesome!" Food always cheered him up.

Ivan nodded, "It tastes better than what you put in the microwave."

"Yeah I bet! Oh my gosh, I can't wait! This is going to be awesome!" Ignoring the ghost movie fact altogether.

"Da, and this is the movie theatre." Ivan stated, waving an arm to present the stadium-like room.

"Wow..." Alfred said, looking around, "I can't wait to own taxis!" He said, "This is like the most amazing thing ever in the existence of all that is awesome! I mean we can like sit anywhere and don't have to worry about people talking or throwing popcorn or whatever!"

The teenager started his popcorn machine and went to set the movie up. "I'm not sure what taxis have to do with this but I'm glad you're happy."

"Dude, what don't taxis have to do with this? Ah, I'm so excited...oh..." He didn't have his super awesome pillow he used to cuddle during ghost movies...just in case he fell asleep or something, yes. It had the perfect stuffing amount, flexible so he could hold it close, but enough filling so that it was never uncomfortable. He always used it for ghost movies, but it was at his house, and Ivan would probably think the pillow strange as so many others had...oh, right they were watching a ghost movie... fuck my life.

Ivan handed Alfred the large tub of popcorn, "Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." Alfred said, taking the glorious buttery goodness and sitting down.

The teen sat beside the older man, pressing a button that dimmed the lights of the theatre and started the movie.

Alfred shifted in his seat awkwardly, watching the plot so similar to those he had seen before, on edge for what he knew was probably coming. He ate popcorn to try and distract himself.

Ivan leaned against Alfred, giggling as the girl discovered the water pouring across her body had turned to blood. What an interesting way to try and get clean...

Twitching at the blood bath, he knew it wouldn't be long now before...it made its appearance. He clung to the popcorn tub tightly, fearing what he knew was coming.

The next scene the ghost popped into appearance, toying with one of its victims as it chased it through a large house, leading the boy closer and closer to imminent death as it appeared around nearly every corner.

Alfred stared at the screen in horror, shaking slightly and forgetting he was holding popcorn, gripping the edges of it tightly, "Don't go that way, don't go that way! Run, get out of the house! Don't die little hero!"

The ghosts face took the entire scream as the boy finally made it out of the house, fading to nothing as blood began to spurt from the male's chest in realistic droplets that stained the earth.

Alfred let out a (totally heroically war) scream and dropped the popcorn, instead clinging to Ivan desperately and staring wide-eyed at the screen.

Ivan's eyes turned to the blonde, startled and wide at the sudden contact. "Alfred. Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah...I'm fine." Alfred said, relaxing his grip but not relinquishing it as he continued watching the horror flick.

And the ghost on the screen destroyed the little ginger slut, tearing her to pieces.

Alfred whimpered at the terrible images, moving as close as he possibly could to Ivan, practically behind the others back even in the seats.

Ivan turned, pulling Alfred to his chest and stroking his hair. "Alfred, calm down, it's only a movie, ghosts like that aren't real."

Alfred shook his head rapidly, "T-That's just what they want you to think." He muttered quietly as if something might overhear him in the dark secluded place.

Ivan stroked his head, patting his back and nuzzling into his hair. "There are no ghosts here Alfred."

"How do you know that? They could just be hiding where you can't see..."

"Because. My sister is so crazy that even ghosts are too afraid to come near the house she resides in."

"I don't believe you." Alfred muttered, "B-but don't worry, I'll try protecting you if any ghosts come, so you don't have to worry." Because Ivan was afraid, yes. That was why he was shaking so much.

Ivan continued to hold Alfred for a second, unable to stop himself from smiling at the words that came from the witlessly scared blonde. "Well Alfred, I know a way to make fear evaporate."

ResaKeilor: Alright so there's the next chapter, and for anybody out there who bothers to read the author's notes we are looking for a beta reader for our stories because we really don't do more than skim and let google docs edit things. We'd be super appreciative, someone good with grammar who won't change the way things are worded or structured without permission. You would be much appreciated especially because Neko and I both write other stories that weended to edit.
