He smiled at me "Then I want you to finish it."

"Thank you for believing in me" I said gratefully before I grabbed both plates and handed one to him "Here. Now, let’s go watch a movie."

"Addams Family?"

"Addams Family" I confirmed while matching his grin.

He went through and set up the movie while I sat down and tucked into my toast which was way too sickly. The jam needed a shovel to be taken off. I munch away at the food as I got myself comfortable on the sofa.

Stone joined me after he was done with the TV. He lifted my legs and then sat down to place them back where they were but now, I was resting on him.

As the opening credits appeared, he was more interested in laughing at my sparkly galaxy socks that read cutest in the galaxy.

"So why is this your favourite movie?" He questioned in an amused tone.

"The witty dialogue, the spooky aesthetic of the movie, countless other things and not at all because it reminds me of someone." I teased while inwardly grinning wickedly "Why did you like it when you first watched it, Lurch?"

Avoiding my eye for a second or two, he then met my gaze and admitted "I had never heard of it until you mentioned it the night we met."

"Really?" I said while acting clueless.

"I watched it the same night." He lowly confessed before grumbling "So fucking whipped."

The last bit of his sentence was quiet, and I did not think I was meant to have heard it.

I found it so cute that he was shy. I found it really endearing that he chose to open up to me so much.

He was staring at me intently and that is when I realised that It should have been a shock to me. I covered my mouth and gasped. It was no Oscar-winning performance, and anyone could have seen that I was faking my surprise.

Stone sent a glare my way, but I could see a hint of amusement "You already knew that, didn't you?"

"No." I replied sweetly, shaking my head violently.

His death glare continued before his attention went back to the screen. He acted like he was unhappy as he kept his eyes firmly on the television. It did not last long as he caved after thirty seconds. He grabbed my foot and pulled me onto his lap. His arms wrapped around my body instantly.

I poked his chest to wind him up further, but I could not help but grin up at him "You look like this big scary tough guy, but you are secretly just a big softie."

"Only for you." He spoke, his voice dropping an octave.

After the conversation, it felt unfair that he had confessed something, and I had not so I decided to even out the playing field.
