Hello! I saw that you are accepting Halloween prompts for Druig and I was so pumped! Halloween is literally my favorite holiday of the year! So, I thought that it would be really funny to maybe combine Prompt 10 with Scenario 7 for Druig? I imagine Druig being the one comforting reader who is a scaredy-cat, because I myself am a scaredy cat.
If you have this request already, please ignore it! Happy October month and thank you for writing your works!
A/N - Hey! This is perfect for Druig, I love it! Thanks for requesting, and Happy October!
Spooked
Summary - Druig loved a good Horror movie. You despised them.

Warnings - Just fluff :)

The sudden large sound alone made you jump, to which Druig looked over at you with a raised brow as your eyes were huge on the screen.
“You okay?” He asked, you nodding your head a bit too rapidly for his liking.
“S-sure.  It was just loud,” You explained in almost a stammer, Druig looking back at the screen as the movie was still playing.  Although you were trying your best to not show it in front of him, you were hating this movie.  Hate was probably not the right word, more like petrified.
But it was your idea to watch a scary movie, and now you were mentally kicking yourself for it.
You and Druig finally got an evening together after your crazy schedules were keeping you two apart.  Though you both loved your jobs, the hectic hours and plenty of meetings meant that you two were barely having time together as a couple, but this weekend there was an opening for that.  The relief of spending some time with Druig meant that you wanted to watch one of the new horror films that has yet to be released.  Kingo was letting you both look at one of the advanced copies since it wasn’t going to be in the theaters until Halloween Night, though he wasn’t in the film himself he had connections.  Druig loved a good horror movie, especially the kind that were thrillers and mysteries that he would try to solve before the characters in the movies did.  It was like a game to him, to which you found hilarious as he would be glued to the screen to not miss a single moment.
You, on the other hand, hated Horror movies.
Perhaps you were too jumpy and skittish when it came to the typical slasher flick or thriller, or maybe you only had bad memories when you were a child and your older brother would make you watch horror movies to tease you, but the genre was not your favorite.  There were some films that were tolerable since they were cheesy, but others were downright terrifying to you.  You even had moments of staying up at night with the movie still haunting your mind, feel uneasy to go to sleep and dream of the horrible movie that made you scared.
Druig knew about your dislike for the genre, and he never pushed into making you watch the films with him.  You were grateful, preferring the indy films and sometimes a good action and adventure, to which Druig had Makkari and even Sprite to turn when it came to a good scare in a horror show.  You both were also lucky to have a friend who works in film, either in acting or helping out behind the scenes.  Kingo, as pompous as he was when it came to being in front of the camera, also wanted to show his new movies and projects with his inner groups of friends to get their opinions first before they would be released.
This recent thriller was without a doubt, amazing and beyond scary, which delighted Druig and freaked you out.
Another loud bang was heard on the screen, you jumping and letting out a yelp as the killer on the screen appeared suddenly.  Druig had to chuckle as he looked at you, seeing how pale you were as you glared at him.
“It’s not that bad,” He reasoned as you huffed.
“Not to you, but that’s scary!” You countered as he grinned.  He then moved some of the blankets you two were using over your laps off of him, dropping his arm behind you to tuck you in and have you rest your head on his shoulder. HIS warm hadn’t was brushing up and down your arm while his other arm dropped the blanket back over your legs, bringing you warmth again as you were wrapping your own arms around his waist.  
“Never took you for a scary cat,” he teased against your head.
“Never took you to find pleasure in your girlfriend’s fear,” You contented back as he gave a mocked sigh, almost too dramatic.
“I would never do such a thing to the girl I’m crazy about,” he reassured you as you were keeping him tight in your arms, “Kingo did give us a warning that this one was going to be a bit much.  We could have watched something else, you know,”
“No, Kingo wanted to know our opinions on it,” You explained, though he clicked his tongue.
“I doubt he wanted you downright scared with a simple movie.  Honestly, why did you say yes when you knew you were going to hate it?” Druig had to ask, his brow raised and his curiosity heightened.  You paused, taking in a breath, and then looked up at Druig to see him wait for your answer patiently.  You hated lying to him or simply skirting around a question he would ask you, Druig could always read you like a book anyway so lying was never really your forte.  
“Because you like these kinds of movies,” You sheepishly admitted to him wishing to be as open as possible as Druig’s gaze softened, “You have a stressful week at work and dealing with Ikaris with his crap, and I know you wanted to unwind and watch this—“
Druig silenced you with a kiss on your forehead, you closing your mouth instantly as he hummed against your skin and smiled.
“I don’t ever want you to compromise your comfort for me,” he reminded you with gentleness in his tone and a warm smile on his lips, “We’re a team, remember? And as a team, we need to take care of each other.”
If there was one thing that Druig had that others never understood, was a compassionate heart.  Constantly he was judged for being put off, sarcastic and blunt, and nonetheless opinionated.  You looked past all of that, knowing that some of those attributes were simply Druig putting a wall up to protect himself from being judged or seen in a different light.  You knew him as kind, compassionate, a philanthropist, and someone who was a true friend.  When you came into his life and took his heart in your hands, you swore never to break it.  Druig swore the same, thinking of you as the sun in his dull life and the pure happiness he has lost for some time.
You both fought hard to be where you were, and you’ll continue to fight for the rest of your time together.
“How about we finish this later and then we can grab some dinner at that place down the street,” Druig suggested, though you shook your head and gestured to the movie.
“It’s almost over, we can finish it,” You answered.
“You sure?” He asked, “I don’t mind watching the rest later,”
“I’ll be fine, plus you’ll protect me anyhow,” You teased as he chuckled.  You both looked at the screen again, wrapped up with each other with a new sense of comfort.  However, it was short-lived when Druig ticked your sides at another jump scare.  You shrieked and smacked him in the arm, you two laughing in the end as the credits rolled.
The End
