Notes: I desperately miss Hao and Lyserg, so here is a fic for them. I almost regret having given Lilec babyLyserg (which is an alien-headed freak-ass bookmark I made for her birthday.) Ho-hum. Here we go. On with the pointlessness.

We're watching a movie. It's a boring movie, and I'm beginning to doze off. You, on the other hand, are completely absorbed by the movie, and are gnawing at the knees you'd pulled to your chest a few minutes ago. You're so cute when you're trying not to blink. And you're so much more interesting than the movie. I see something flash from the corner of my eye. You jerk both legs downward. I turn back to the screen with a quiet chuckle.

After a few moments, I feel your hand brush mine. I turn, and you are staring at me, your face twisted in discomfort. Your other hand is squeezing your left thigh. "Ah," I hear you whisper, "I-" You bite your lip (I want to bite it too.) "Cramp," you give a painful little wow-this-is-stupid smile.

I hold back a laugh as I wrapped my hand around your leg. You cringe, hissing. You bite into your knuckles to keep from crying out. You scoot over so your leg, with its twisting pain, is across my lap. There are only fourteen people in the theatre, including us so I don't even know why you're trying to be quiet-as if anybody wouldn't forgive someone as sweet as you. But in any case, I know you'd be pissed if I started arguing here, so I move your leg slowly-I know it's hurts, I'm sorry. No, no-you can't bend it. Come on, just go down slowly. There we go. I slip off your shoe, and press against the sole of your foot so it's being pushed sideways (from my point of view.) You grab my arm, a slightly hostile look on your face (only slightly.) I keep pressing, and you've started biting my poncho.

We keep that position until you poke my head and I let go. "Better?" I whisper.

You just nod because your attention is on the movie again. You mouth 'thanks.'

I roll my eyes. "Don't bend it so much. And I told you to bring a jacket."

You hold a finger to your lips and you don't even look at me. I feel like sulking, now.

I see you glance at me from the corner of you eye, the way I am. I see you sigh. You get up, and you sit on my lap. You kiss my lips. "Thank you," you mutter.

Everyone in the theatre is staring at us. The movie's ended. I kiss you back.

Based on a true story. :O

More idiotic HaoLysergs to come, I think.

Review, please.
