Part 6 of Gotham Characters React to You Getting Easily Scared by a Movie 👻☠😈😨🎃:

Valerie Vale & Edward Nygma (the last part in this series) <-last part (part 5) Part 1 Additional arnings: description of what fake flood is sometimes made of (nothing scary, more of useful fun fact to know if you dislike it looking too real)

Valerie Vale is a rational person. Most "sightings" of supernatural beings like ghosts are likely attempts of gaining attention, not real. However, she's also covered cases which science, at least public scientists, can't explain. But she's never been afraid of a little lying, especially if it helps you.

Valerie's stretched out next to you, gently drumming a pattern resembling the flashes of light on screen onto your skin. "What do you think, honey?" You're glad for the distraction, for not having to concentrate on the movie anymore. "I think it's shocking. How accurate do you think it is?" "Hm," she murmurs and locks eyes with you, her brows furrowing a little from concern. She changes her mind. Half-truths are alright, given that knowing the truth wouldn't help you in this case. You don't need to know what sources told her, especially when she hasn't verified all of them yet.

"You don't need to be afraid." She strokes your face and kisses your cheek, smiling. "At least not more than usually." "Can we..." You pause the movie. "Can we still stop watching? This is a bit much, fictional or not." Valerie nods, loving how easily you can admit the truth where others try to conceal it with means that ensure she has to spend months on one story.

She grabs the remote control and switches off the TV. "All done," she declares, and immediately takes the opportunity to hold your face and kiss you, a welcoming warmth compared to the movie's frightening coldness. When you separate, she takes a new position and shrugs. "I didn't find this movie intellectually stimulating enough anyways."

Edward Nygma treasures you getting close to him. It makes him feel loved, and confident in his masculinity. Ed doesn't "just" hold you, but tries to rationalize the things you're afraid of. He has a wide set of skills and is ready to use them all to comfort you if need be.

You're sure your boyfriend really tried to pick a movie you'd enjoy and yet as time progresses, you find yourself tense and grow more anxious, despite the fun facts he's been sharing with you along the way. Hopefully he'll tell you another one soon. Until then, you run your fingers over the smooth blanket he put on the sofa to make this date cozy, relying on it and his presence next to you to distract you.

"Did you—" he starts, and is interrupted by your shock, "Ah!"

Ed bites his lip guiltily, looking surprised too, and you begin to run your fingers down his arms in a soothing manner. "Sorry. I'm okay, you just spooked me a little. What did you wanna say?"

Ed isn't so sure whether you really are, but you encouraged him to continue. "Did you know that theatrical blood is often made out of edible liquids such as different types of syrups and sauces? And sometimes they use more savory sauces like ketchup to add to the texture." He eyes you suspiciously, how distracted you are by the movie still playing, instead giving him your full attention. "Should I pause?" "Yes, that way I can concentrate on your facts." And have a break from the scariness.

He moves away from you, making you realize how much you depended on his body to ground you, but is quick to sit back again and pause the film. "Alright," he says to himself, then turns towards you. "Is something going on that I don't know about? You seem...nervous. Do you not enjoy the film I picked?" Exactly that is the problem: Ed handpicked the movie you dislike and you don't want to let him down. "It's not that I think it's a bad one." You take his hands to reassure him. "In fact, I can imagine what you like about it: the foreshadowing, the symbolism... But it's too scary for me. As simple as that." "Does that mean you want to stop watching?" "If it's okay for you, then yes." "Of course it is!"

For a moment you watch the cogs in Ed's brain turn, then he turns off the TV and comes back to put the blanket over you and him and scoots closer. "Did you know that in order to derive pleasure from scary things there needs to be a safety frame? Something that makes us aware that the dangers on screen — or in a book — pose no real threat to us?"

He strokes your arm and quickly grabs your hands again, his brown eyes fixed on you. "I-I never meant for you to get uncomfortable. I thought that the post-horror relaxation that can occur after the consumption of scary media might be positive for you too, but I see now that is not the case, and you have my deepest apologies. I'll strike scary movies from my list of ones I wanted to watch with you. Or...or ones as scary as this one or scarier."

Ed's face comes closer, he's waiting for you to correct him, but you just say, "Thanks" and kiss him, soon feeling his hand on your cheek and the other one move over your back. He'll protect you, is right now, already calming you down. "Would you say—" he interrupts himself. "Yes? Would I say what?" You give him a smile and he decides that he won't make you think about the movie now that you've calmed down a bit. "It can wait."

The following day, you notice Ed muster you for a minute or more, before he approaches you and askes how you're doing today. "Oh, good, what about you?" "Yes, good as well. I was wondering: how scary did you think the movie we watched would've been, say, without the last scene you saw?" "Do you mean without the elements in it? Knowing your boyfriend well, you added, "And do you want it in numbers?" He nods enthusiastically. "Yes!" You think about it, then gave him a number.

"Thanks." Still, Ed seems to be waiting for something. He's probably holding back his curiosity to be polite. "Anything else, handsome?" He looks down bashfully. "If it's not too much of a bother for you..." He produces a sheet of paper, on it multiple scales. "I tried to operationalize what's too scary for you because as a forensic scientist I likely have different reactions than you do. You don't need to fill it out, if you don't wanna think about it." He gives you a thumbs up. Gosh, it's utterly adorable how much he cares about you. "Thank you so much for trying to understand me, Ed." "Of course." "Seriously, it makes me feel safe." "This isn't weird?" "Unusual? Yes. But also very much appreciated." You lean in and he breaches the rest of the distance between you, smiling into your kiss and wrapping his long arms around you. When you part, he's beaming. "You make me feel horrifically comfortable in your presence too", Ed says. "I love you," you say, and his next words don't contain a pun, "I love you too."

___________________ Author's note: Leave some love on these (or any of my stuff), let me know which ones you liked the most and whether you'd like to see more of some of these side characters I wrote for the first time and have a lovely day 😚💚

Now I'll try to take a small break, you don't want to know how many hours I spent putting links for all these parts on the other ones and the masterlists, and making masterlists, not to forget saving some of this in case tumblr acts weird 😆😱 :)
