"How about... This one?"

"Silence of the Lambs?" Lalna asked, "It's pretty scary. Are you sure?"

Rythian rolled his eyes. "I'm not a baby, Lalna. I think I can handle it."

"Sure, if you like. I can't believe you haven't seen it "

"I wasn't a big movie watcher until we started going out."

Rythian plopped down on the couch and stretched out. He bent, attempting to fit onto the too-small couch. Lalna snuggled up against him.

Rythian started the movie. The second the music came up, he could feel Lalna tense up against him. He chuckled when Lalna jumped in reaction to a crescendo.

Lalna turned and glared at him.

"Sorry," said Rythian, stifling another laugh.

As time passed and the movie continued. Lalna let out a little yelp as Dr. Lector attacked the guards. Lalna turned to look at Rythian, who hadn't moved for ages.

His head was back, his eyes shut. Now that he was listening, he could hear that Rythian was snoring. He shook him.

"Rythian, come on! Wake up!" Lalna said.

Rythian pulled him in tighter, slurring his words, "Shhhhhhh. It's ok Lalna. Just a movie, my love." He started to sleepily play with Lalna's short blond hair as Hannibal took a bite out of the guard.

Unlike Rythian, Lalna was sure he wouldn't be able to sleep for weeks after this.
