Another scream.
Another flash of fake blood.
More goosebumps.
You buried you head into Sam's arm as he chuckled at the movie. Upon noticing your fear , he brought his hand to your hair, stroking it softly.
"What's got you all riled up? You know we've delt with worse, and that the movie is fake," said your boyfriend.
It was around 1:30 AM at night, and Sam and you had decided to do a horror movie marathon for fun. However, no matter how cheesy the constant scares and screams were coming from the current movie, you immediately turned away from the screen. It was embarrassing, really; The Winchester and you are hunters- great ones at that. Not an hour ago had literally been laughing at the past three movies and all it's cheesy antics, what with bedsheet ghosts and bad acting, but for some unknown reason, this movie just seemed to strike a nerve.
"Y/N?" Sam asked, trying to grab your attention.
"Sammy?" you replied, looking up at him.
"Are you alright, angel?"
"Y-yeah, I just," you sighed. "I don't know. Maybe…" You stopped for a moment, leaning your head back to analyze yourself without distraction. This movie was about random killings, something the three of you always delt with. However, this wasn't you typical horror movie, with the previous fake ghosts to laugh at. This movie was about a human serial killer, viciously murdering toddlers, teenagers… children alike.
A human.
Sam paused the movie, waiting patiently for you to finish with big, brown puppy dog eyes.
"Maybe it's because this isn't a spirit, or a demon, or whatever. It's a human, just like us. The fact that someone, our same kind would even do this is disgusting."
The moose hugged you closer, pulling you onto his lap. "You're right, but at least it's not real, right?"
"Yeah, but even though this movie isn't real, there are people out there, doing the same things."
Sam was silent for a moment before kissing your ear, then whispering, "We'll get 'em if we come across them. I promised you I'd protect you, right?"
You began to relax as you leaned against his body. "You did."
Sam smiled, hugging you tighter. "Not to mention, you could kick anyone's ass if you needed to."
You both began to laugh, breaths mingling until Sam stopped. He stared into your eyes, still smiling softly. "I love you, Y/N. I promise to keep you safe. Always."
You returned the smile, then replied, "Thank you. I love you too, Sammy."
Without another word, he leaned forward, kissing you. After a few moments, he pulled back and said, "So, how about Ghostbusters?"
