"What are we going to watch tonight?" you ask your boyfriend, Zayn, as you set yourself on the comfy couch and grabbing a fuzzy blanket. 

"Well, it's a scary movie actually," Zayn explains and grins when a look of horror crosses your face. "Oh come on, love, it shouldn't be that bad. Louis said it was good. I'll be right beside you to protect you." 

"Zayn, you know I'm not good with scary movies," you whimper, sliding down further into the couch as Zayn takes his seat beside you. As he puts his arm around you, you cuddle into his side and pull some of the blanket over onto his body so that the two of you are sharing it. 

"If it's really bad, we'll turn it off," you hear Zayn say above you as he tightens his grip around your shoulders. "I promise." 

~*~*~*~

After the first thirty minutes of the movie, you already have your face turned away from the TV screen and buried into Zayn's arm to hide the frightening images. You really wanted to have Zayn turn it off but you were just too scared to say anything right now. 

*~*~*

"Babe? You okay?" your boyfriend asks you, after pausing the movie about halfway through. Shaking your head "no", you stay in your position, not moving. "Hey...come here, it's okay..." Zayn says trying to comfort you as he peels your tight grip from your hands off his arm. "Look at me," he says softly lifting your head up as you lean back into a sitting position. Just then, Zayn gasps in surprise when he looks at your face. "Have you been crying?" he asks you with concern filling his voice and his eyes start to glisten when he suspects of having hurt you in any way.  

You touch your face softly and you find out that you were indeed crying. You were just so scared of all the noises and imagining what was happening in the movie just frightened you too much to the point of tears and gripping Zayn's arm too tightly without realizing it. 

"Zayn-" your voice breaks as you fall back into your boyfriend's strong arms and lay your head against his chest. 

"Love, I'm so, so sorry...." Zayn apologizes slowly as he rubs your back and hair soothingly. "I shouldn't have put it in. It's okay, you're safe now...you're safe now..." 

Finally pulling away from the hug a few minutes later, you look into Zayn's eyes only to notice that they were brimmed with tears. 

"I'm okay now," you say slowly trying to smile. 

"I didn't mean to hurt you in this way, love. I'm sorry... Can you forgive me?" Zayn asks you blinking rapidly trying to stop his tears. "I- .... I really didn't mean to do this-" 

"Zayn, it's okay," you smile softly as a small sob escapes your lips. You softly rub his shoulders after he pulls you gently back down beside him and kisses your forehead. 

Laying there together in silence, you and Zayn hold each other, just happy to be together, safe in each other's arms, after the sad episode that just occurred. 

"I just want to remind you of something...." Zayn whispers softly above your head. 

"Hm?" You mumble, closing your eyes to just listen to his wonderful accented voice you love so much whenever he whispers to you.  

"I love you and I will do my best to never ever hurt you again," he promises, kissing the side of your head lovingly which makes you grin from ear to ear from happiness.
