AN: Thanks for reviewing!
Prompt 4 - Movie Night
"This guy playing Dad is lame."
Both Leia and Han turned their attention away from the holofilm about the Rebellion's triumph against the Empire and to their eight-year-old son wedged between them on the couch. "What do you mean, Ben?" Leia asked.
"There're a lot of things that could mean," Han muttered. "I can sure think of a few."
Ben ate a spoonful of the ice cream in his lap before he spoke. "His hair's too neat."
Han's head cocked and his eyebrow went up. "What?"
"His hair's too neat," Ben repeated, a dribble of melted ice cream running down his chin, which Leia quickly wiped away.
"Are you sayin' my hair ain't neat, son?"
Leia couldn't help but snicker. "Well, he does have a point, Han. Maybe you should try using conditioner more often."
"No," said Ben, licking more ice cream off his spoon.
"There, see?" Han said in a triumphant voice, sporting his familiar cocky grin. "The kid knows his old man's got perfectly neat hair."
"Really?" said Leia. "Then why did he just say your actor's hair was too neat?"
"Cause it is," Ben said nonchalantly. "Dad's hair is all messy and scruffy – like you're always sayin', Mom."
Now it was Leia sporting the cocky grin. "See, he agrees with me that you should neaten it up."
"Nope," said Ben, digging his spoon around in his ice cream.
Her grin faded. "Nope? What do you mean nope?"
Ben finally looked up at his parents. "Cause Dad's hair's supposed to be all messy and scruffy. It wouldn't be Dad's hair if it weren't." He pointed at the holovid. "That's why this guy's hair is too neat."
Both Han and Leia were silenced by this. After twisting their mouths, they turned their attention back to the holofilm, where the Han actor was telling the Luke and Obi-Wan actors that he was charging ten thousand credits in advance, his too-neat hair glistening in the sun from the carefully-placed window behind him.
"When I grow up, I want hair just like Dad's," Ben suddenly spoke up. "All messy and scruffy!"
Han's cocky grin was back. "Well, you don't have to wait till you grow up for that!" With that, he dug his hand into his son's hair and messed it around with a playful growl, making Ben burst into giggles.
Leia good-naturedly rolled her eyes. "You know you guys are missing the holofilm, right?"
"That's okay," said Ben. "My real dad's better than that fake one any day."
