The Beatles Oneshot Series: Movie
He hoped at least.
The moment he granted them a nod, the two dashed off out of the house, already itching to go somewhere more romantic.
“They’ll be fine,” he told himself as he went back to the news. “What kind of trouble could they get themselves in at this hour?”
-------------------------------------------------
Brian must have fallen asleep seeing that he woke up to John shouting into his ear.
Getting out of the chair and nearly falling over, he grabbed onto the armchairs for support as he pulled himself up, glaring at the grinning Cheshire man.
“What do you want?” he asked, wiping the drool from his mouth as he fixed himself up. “Don’t tell me you can’t find the lube again.”
John looked aghast. “For your information, I already have it in my pocket just in case,” he said, patting his pocket lovingly to prove his point. Brian now wished he hadn’t said that now. “And I was asked to by Paul because Ringo won’t calm down. Honestly, George is an idiot for thinking that movie was a mystery and-“
“Wait, wait, wait,” he said. “They’re back already? Why isn’t Ringo calm? What happened?”
“George and Ringo went to watch a movie,” John shrugged, looking like he could care less even though there was some sort of commotion upstairs. “The Innocents, know it?”
“Yeah, that new horror movie,” he replied.
“George thought it was mystery movie,” John said, “and also thought it would be a great idea if he and Ringo watched that. You know sweet scardey cat Ringo, right?”
“Oh…really?” he asked, rubbing his temples as he stood up from the chair, not caring that the newspaper scattered on the floor. “And…let me guess: Ringo won’t go asleep and demands we all sleep in the same room just in case.”
John nodded cheerfully with a bright smile and it irritated Brian even more than his usual smirk. “Yep! Paul and George have been trying to convince him that we won’t get possessed by my ex-girlfriends but, so far, it hasn’t been working.”
“How long?”
John started to count the time on his fingers and Brian stopped him. That was enough to go on.
-------------------------------------------------
He didn’t want to say what he saw when got into Ringo’s room was weird but…it was.
Paul was trying to pull a squirming George out of a clearly frightened Ringo out of his iron-clad grip and from a multitude of thick blankets. All of them were on bed, shouting and saying things at the same time as George was used as a living rope for their little Tug-O-War game.
“Kids,” he muttered.
Walking over, he easily pulled George out of Ringo’s grip and sat down on the bed, making himself a barrier of sorts between Ringo and George and Paul, and placed his hand comfortingly over the man’s arm.
One would say ‘are you alright’ in this situation but Brian was smarter than that. “What are you trying to do by accomplishing this?” he asked, keeping his voice low and clam. “I know you were frightened by that movie-“
Ringo squeaked (yes), “frightened?! I’m scared silly! You should have seen poor Ms. Giddens when she found out about those two kids!”
“Yes, it was scary but it wasn’t real Ringo,” he said patiently. “We won’t end up like Ms. Giddens or the past governess or the uncle of those two children, alright?”
“I know, I know,” Ringo said, hugging Brian’s waist like he was some sort of giant teddy bear.
Well, that was surprisingly easy. Nodding to the other two to let them know that they could leave, Brian was about to sit up when he felt Ringo tug him down. “Umm…Ringo, can you kindly let me go?”
“No!” Ringo said, burying his head into Brian’s shoulder and squeezing him even tighter.
Brian hesitantly hugged Ringo back and moaned in annoyance as George and Paul rushed out of the room, without ever looking back.
This was going to be a long night.

Wow…this was completely pointless. >__> The resolution of this story can be found in my last drabble of the The Beatles.
I did not really watch the The Innocents nor do I really know what happened in the end. Got some of the information from the internet but can’t find the ending of the movie. I just chose it because it was one of the few horror movies I saw that fit the timeline.
