Wordcount: 759

”No! NO! Nononono!” Nikaido is yelling while being dragged into Kitayama's living room, struggling with all his might. ”I don't want to!”

”Shut up geez, my neighbours are gonna think we're raping you or something.” Kitayama rolls his eyes as he places the disc into his DVD-player, not even bothering to crouch, giving Tamamori and Yokoo on the couch quite a nice view.

”This is just as non-consensual!” Nikaido whines, trying to punch Miyata to get rid of his firm grip on Nikaido's arm.

”You are watching this and you are going to enjoy it.” Kitayama says firmly, before turning back to look for the remote.

”I am not!” Nikaido yells and he really is loud enough for the neighbours to hear him. ”Don't make me do it!”

”Oh shut up.” Fujigaya frowns in annoyance and pulls his hair a little. ”It's a classic and it's not even that bad.”

Nikaido yelps, distracted enough for Miyata and Fujigaya to half shove, half throw him on the couch next to Yokoo, who takes a firm grip around his wrist to keep him from fleeing.

”Guys seriously, I really don't want to do this!” He's on the verge of begging now, it's obvious, but the others just smile.

Miyata goes to the kitchen to get more snacks, even though there are already four bowls of different things on the low table, while Fujigaya looks like he's about to start whining about there not being a seat next to Yokoo.

Then Senga returns from the bathroom, brown eyes filled with confusion. ”What's going on? I heard Nika screaming?”

”Kenpii!” Nikaido tries to break free from Yokoo's grip on his arm but it's no good. ”They're forcing me to watch The Ring and I'm gonna have nightmares for fucking months, save me!”

Senga blinks once, but then a cute smile spreads on his face and he comes over to sit next to Nikaido. ”I've got him.” He tells Yokoo and takes both Nikaido's hands in his own.

Yokoo shrugs and lets go of his arm, settling more comfortably where he's sitting between Tamamori and Nikaido, looking confused when Fujigaya glares and crosses his arms, asking why Yokoo doesn't want to sit next to him.

”Nika.” Senga leans in close, smiling as he lowers his voice, and Nikaido can't help but relax a little with Senga holding his hands, his warmth so close. ”It's alright. I'm right here okay? And I'll sleep with you every night so you won't have nightmares.”

Nikaido knows Senga's won already, hears himself mumble an okay before his brain has even progressed the words.

Senga gives him a brilliant smile before pressing a quick kiss to his nose, turning away just in time for Nikaido to see Kitayama grab Fujigaya by the collar and pull him along to settle next to Senga on the couch. ”Don't whine so much, come cuddle with me instead.”

Fujigaya squeaks so indignantly that Nikaido almost laughs despite how upset he is. Senga asks for at least a blanket or pillow for Nikaido to hide his face in, and they end up with a blanket that's covering their legs and Nikaido can't hide his face in at all.

Miyata returns and barely has time to put the bowl of chips down before Kitayama's started the movie, an arm slung around a grumpy Fujigaya's shoulders. It's really crowded in the couch with seven people, but nobody really minds being half in someone else's lap anyway.

During the movie, Nikaido does his best not to look when it's scary, but the plot is interesting so he has to watch in between to follow it. Eventually it ends in him seeing things he'd rather have never known, and instead buries his face in Senga's chest, smelling his warm cologne and hearing him breathe. Senga's fingers are playing lightly with the hairs at the back of his neck, and Nikaido can feel him jerk and his fingers tighten when something unexpected happens on the screen.

He can hear the others' shocked and scared noises too, and he's pretty sure Fujigaya's clinging to Kitayama for dear life, but he keeps his forehead against Senga's chest and his eyes closed. Eventually he leans up to place a tiny kiss to Senga's throat, and Senga's breath hitches a little, fingers running down Nikaido's spine as he draws Nikaido in closer.

And Nikaido thinks that even though he's certainly not enjoying it, watching horror movies maybe isn't that bad when he has Senga.
