title: Friday Nights
summary: sometimes they like to hang out and watch movies and pretend that they're just a little normal—homestuck, beta kids

Sometimes they like to get together and watch movies or go to that new burger place two blocks or sometimes even just hang out at the park and laugh and joke like they used to before (and they don't play video games, the one they played was enough to last a lifetime).
Tonight all four are at John's house—Rose and Jade curled up on the couch, sharing secrets and a bowl of popcorn while Dave and John sit on the floor and argue over what movie to watch tonight.
"We are not watching Con Air," Dave says and stares John down behind his totallyawesomecool shades, "We watched one of your shitty Nick Cage movies last week. There's only so much of the man I can take before I start flippin' my shit." John gapes, looking thoroughly offended.
"You did not just say that," John says with a frown (because Nicholas Cage is amazing and Dave doesn't know shit) and Dave only smirks. "But I did. What are you gonna do about it?" he asks and then pretty soon the both of them are going at it; gesturing wildly and flailing about and John is pretty much frothing at the mouth at the barrage of Nick Cage insults.
Rose looks over at them and almost smiles because this actually feels kind of normal, kind of nice. She snorts when they actually start to wrestle ("My leg Dave, that is my leg!").
"Idiots," she mutters under her breath. Jade hears and looks over at them, smiling fondly ("I swear to God if you bite me I will—OW! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!") at their antics.
"Yeah," Jade says, "but they're our idiots."
"Unfortunately," Rose replies but she's smiling when she says it and Jade thinks that maybe they'll all be alright after all.
