Preparations for Halloween were always hectic.

Candy, decorations (they only ever stayed up for a few days so what even), carving pumpkins (sorry love) and then getting little costumes for their ovine horde ready (yes, this included Atalys and Ovejita this time)…

The insanity never ended.

So when it was time for the tradition of them watching a movie (where he would always end up in his partner’s arms, hiding his face or in a pillow because those things on screen were scary!) he had the bowl of popcorn ready.

(Well, popcorn and anything else that was considered normal for standard ‘stay at home’ movie fare.)

This year’s ~~sacrifice~~ offering to the movie gods was something called ‘The Shrine’.

“Even from the title I’m already getting the heebie-jeebies,” he chattered as he reached for a handful of popcorn and had the pillow ready for hiding behind!

Memo went all out when it came for decorating for holidays. All holidays, even the ones that he didn’t really celebrate. He always had plans, themes, the Cricut was being worked until it smoked, there were blueprints, outlines, and Pinterest boards aplenty.
[break][break]
He let Alex handle the carving of the pumpkins and made sure all the windows were open and the flat was exquisitely ventilated during those trying times.
[break][break]
“It’s really good,” Memo promised, settling down on his little corner of the couch. He had one up on Alex because he’d already seen this movie a couple of times. “One of my favorites.”
[break][break]
His threshold for Fake Fear had gone up in recent years. He did not want to think on why that was.
[break][break]
The movie opened on what appeared to be a ritual sacrifice by a group of cloaked individuals on one poor, sad, crying man; his arms and legs had been nailed down rather viciously, and he was begging to be free.

“Oh my god don’t tell me they’re going to do the—” he trailed off, squealing as he quickly and immediately hid his face in his partner’s shoulder as the crying only got even louder.

For all that was worth, he was still terrified of most gore. Could anyone blame him, though?

He couldn’t blot out the pathetic crying, the begging, the wailing coming from the screen—was the sound turned up that high? He couldn’t remember.

Where was the popcorn?!

From the point of view of the poor, tortured individual, something dark and heavy gets laid over his eyes.
[break][break]
Then it cuts to a woman sitting at a desk, the sterilized gray of an office space around her.
[break][break]
“It’s safe, now,” Memo said, nuzzling into Alex’s hair, “there won’t be anything gross for a while.”
[break][break]
The woman is a journalist who wants to travel to a remote Kalosian village where a string of Unovan backpackers have all up and vanished. Her boss wants her to cover something boring and pedestrian.
[break][break]
“Here,” Memo said, reaching for the bowl of popcorn and setting it on the arm of the couch behind Alex.

Just as he was about to run out of the room screaming, he heard the scene change, and he looked up in time to see that it was now a boring old office setting.

“Y-you know,” he breathed quietly (secretly extremely thankful that his partner was nearby for immediate security cuddles) as he looked up.

“Whoever ends up ch-chasing the bad guy i-in these movies tends to… get way m-more than what th-they asked for,” he chatted, grabbing a handful of popcorn and stuffing it into his mouth to keep him busy. At least the salty flavor would keep him distracted from all the creepy, heebie-jeebie noises that were coming from the movie that was playing on the screen…

Memo shifts to haul Alex more bodily into his lap, letting his head fall back and his eyes close for just a moment. He’s seen this movie and he knows where the scary parts are.
[break][break]
The journalist recruits her assistant and her boyfriend to sneak away to Kalos and research the disappearances on their own… but first, they stop at the childhood home of the most recent missing hiker.
[break][break]
Memo makes a noise and reaches for the remote, pausing it. “Do you want me to tell you when the scary parts are about to happen?” he asks, the thought suddenly occurring to him.

“Oh wow, do they really know what they’re getting into?” he asked his partner with a hint of worry, considering that they’d snuck away from the office to go check shit out on their own.

He then momentarily turned his attention to the television, and shook his fist.

“You butts better be careful, you don’t know what the fuck you’re all getting yourselves into!” he warned them before returning his attention to his human pillow and feeding him a little popcorn.

“Yes, please,” he begged quietly, his gaze never leaving his partner’s eyes.

Alex’s question made him laugh. “No, absolutely not.” But no one ever did, in these movies.
[break][break]
Watching his boyfriend shake his fist at the TV screen brought more giggles out of him, and even a snort.
[break][break]
“How you gonna say ‘you butts’ and then drop the f-bomb like seven words later?” he asked, sliding a hand into the hair at the back of Alex’s head and ruffling it. “You dork.”
[break][break]
He leans forward to press a kiss to the bridge of Alex’s nose. “Okay. There’s a jumpscare here in a minute, but nothing gory.”
[break][break]
The rep[break][break]orter is snooping around the missing hiker’s bedroom and goes to pull open his closet. There’s a crescendo of music and an apparition of the missing man appears, with blackened eyes and a pale face.
[break][break]
‘I want to go home,’ the specter says, ‘please, help me.’
[break][break]
She blinks, and he’s gone.

“Look, sometimes their sheer stupidity deserves different levels of disbelief,” he retorted back; however he was not going to deny the affection he was getting from his partner before the warning about the jumpscare came…

Of course it came with the music! Of fuggin’ course it did!

“Wh-wh-what… did, did you l-like… hear that, too?” he blinked, his eyes looking around and hoping it was just the movie on the TV screen…

Memo was still snickering at Alex’s defense of his varied levels of disparaging comments.
[break][break]
“It’s just the movie, baby,” Memo said, trying really really hard to not laugh at Alex. He pulled the larger man further into his lap, the best weighted blanket. “If you’re gonna get too scared we can stop.” There was just a little bit of a dare in the words.
[break][break]
The scene changes to somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Kalos. Thick green forests swathe an unpaved road as the three main characters drive a dinky little car through the woods. They peer out the windows at the ominous, looming trees.

“H-hey!” he retorted, aiming to lightly whack his partner’s arm. “I-I am not scared!”

…the way he said it and the way he stared into Memo’s eyes were two different things, though.

“I-if I give up now, th-then I’ve lost!” he continued as he returned his attention to the movie on the screen. “I’m gonna tough it out…”

(He didn’t finish the rest of the sentence, though.)

Looking back at the screen, he could tell that there was something coming up.

“I s-swear if something just comes running out of th-those trees…”

Memo snickered and raised his shoulder in mock injury at Alex’s playful swat. “Ouch. Coulda fooled me.”
[break][break]
He slid one arm around his boyfriend’s waist and anchored the larger man firmly in his lap.
[break][break]
“Oh, it’s not a competition, baby. If you’re uncomfy, you’re uncomfy.” He pressed a kiss to Alex’s temple, then leaned back to watch the movie. “Nothin’ scary happens for a bit. Just weird.”
[break][break]
The three Unovan reporters walk through an antiquated village, where all the locals stop and stare. There’s a man who is apparently a butcher working on some pig-like Pokemon’s body, holding a machete and covered in blood.
[break][break]
He starts to stomp over to the Unovans, very intense.

“Oh, boy,” he continued; relying on the musical cues to alert him that the scary, frightening shit was coming.

“You three better get the fuck out of there, now, if you know what’s good for you!” he continued, turning around to face the screen and waving a fist at their sheer idiocy.

“Are they really this slow to pick up on the hints that they’re not welcome in the town, or are they just dumbing down the fact that…” he trailed off, before seeing the butcher and letting out a squeal of surprise before turning away because holy shit that was a lot of blood!

Alex’s desire to try and wring common sense out of white people in a scary movie was very endearing. Memo was trying not to laugh.
[break][break]
“They’re very determined,” he said, trying to sound serious, ducking his head into his partner’s shoulder to muffle his giggles.
[break][break]
The Unovans ask the Butcher about the missing hikers; the Butcher, in response, orders them to leave, and leave now.

“See? See?!” he emphasized, moment that the butcher with the very sharp cleaver all but literally growled at the trespassers to get the fuck away from whatever shit they were going to get themselves into.

“If that’s not a warning then I don’t know what is anymore!” he continued as he ate some more popcorn, completely and totally unaware that the ‘Leave…’ was starting to sound a little more distorted than what was playing out on the screen.

Were… were his ears playing tricks on him?!
