a/n: short & sweet + some aww

Movies were some of your favorite pastimes, especially the Christmas movies that were playing on different television networks during the holidays that caused you great joy.

Dustin knew how much you loved the different Hallmark, cheesy movies that were the most cliche and assumable ones on the planet but still agreed to spend his Saturday's and Sunday's with you snuggled up tightly to him, candy around both of you, blankets practically smothering you both, and just being content with each other watching the movies.

Today was one of the Saturdays that one of your favorite movies from Hallmark came on, so he grabbed a bunch of the candy he had stocked up in a cabinet just for these days and brought himself to your house.

When you opened the door to see him with his pearly whites, you gave him a soft, yet somewhat confused, smile.

"Dusty, what are you doing here?"

You sleepily rubbed your eyes, seeing as it was nearly eleven and you weren't a morning person what-so-ever.

Dustin just held up a bag of candy, still smiling at the sight of sleepy you while he waited for a response back. Your eyes suddenly widened, a twinkle illuminating your irises.

"Oh my god! I completely forgot that it's movie Saturday!" You squealed, practically yanking him inside much like a rag doll.

He let you pull him inside towards your room where your television was currently turned off, your bed unmade, floor littered with small articles of clothing like shirts and a few pairs of jeans, boots shoved in a corner, and blankets draping messily over your couch set up in front of the television.

"Give me a minute to pick up. I totally forgot it was movie day." You mumbled the last part to yourself, slightly embarrassed.

Dustin just nodded, sitting down on your couch and positioning some pillows and blankets around him while you picked up clothes, throwing them into your dirty clothes hamper and placing the boots neatly on a shoe rack.

You quickly made your bed, although, it didn't turn out the neatest.

Dustin just watched you do everything. He adored you, practically threw himself in front of any bully or anyone that made fun of you, and felt like you were way too good for him.

"Done." You sighed, plopping down onto the couch, smiling over at Dustin, who was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, before turning on the television and going to the Hallmark channel, where your favorite movie was about to start.

"I'm so excited! What candy did you bring?" You asked him, looking over at him with a grin on your lips.

"You know, the essentials."

You rolled your eyes, a smile still on your lips. "Please tell me you have more than just 3 musketeers?"

Dustin shrugged.

"It's a hell of a good candy, ___!"

You shook your head, smiling as you grabbed the bag away from his hand, searching through it to find the Mike and Ike's you knew he always had one of the boxes of for each day.

"It's about to start."

Forty minutes into the movie and you had already had somewhat of a small sugar crash, your head laying down on Dustin's chest as he couldn't help but smile at your sleepy eyes fluttering open after closing them for a few seconds.

"___?" He suddenly piped up, looking down at you while he ran his fingers through your hair. You only hummed back in your response, waiting to hear what Dustin had to say.

"You're amazing, you know that? I really like you." He admitted, somewhat embarrassed but you only looked up at him and smiled.

"I feel the same way, Dusty."

You pressed a light kiss to his jaw before focusing sleepily back on the movie. Dustin couldn't contain his smile. It was very contagious, the one you were currently wearing.

"Good to know, ___."
