"You WHAT?" Lori asked incrediously.
"I invited Avery," Merton said, cowering away from Lori.
"You IDIOT," Lori said, "You invited a DEMON to watch movies with us?"
"Hey now Lori," Tommy said, coming to Merton's defense, "Can't we all just have a peaceful friendly night?"
Lori fumed but said nothing as a sharp knock sounded at the door.
"That's him!" Merton said in an excited hush, "Okay uhmm... how do I look? How's my hair? How..."
"Chill out," Tommy said, running a hand through his hair, "Go answer the door."
"Yeh! Great idea!" Merton grinned. He quickly checked himself out in the mirror and ran over to open the door.
Lori almost growled, but Tommy laid a hand on her shoulder, "Now now Lori," he said, "Make nice with the other children."
Lori frowned and leaned backwards against Tommy, "Do I have to?"
7:59pm
Merton was greatful. Being able to just sit for X number of hours with Avery practically in his lap because Tommy and Lori were taking up so much of the little couch brought Merton beyond words.
"Is there uh... any other place to sit?" Avery asked shifting closer into Merton to avoid Lori and Tommy's display of affection, "That's ...gross..."
"Well," Merton muttered, "The floor or the... uhh, my... bed."
"That sounds good," Avery said quickly. He took Merton by the hand and the two laid down on the bed on their stomachs facing the tv.
Merton desperately tried to concentrate on the plotline but found it increasingly difficult.
"Bed... Avery... On... Me... Ooohhh..." ran through Merton's mind over and over.
Merton felt something lightly skim down the side of his face and his breath quickened and caught in his throat. He was tempted to turn his head, but was afraid of what could happen.
"Merton," a thick voice purred into his ear, "Are you enjoying the movie?"
"Yeh," Merton replied, his voice coming out three octaves higher than his usual. "Why?"
"Tell me what happens," Avery purred, "I can't concentrate..."
Merton quickly turned to face Avery and found himself mere inches from the other boy's face. Without thinking, he leaned in a little closer and their lips met.
The kiss was short, yet when the two pulled away, both looked awestruck.
"...Did you mean that?" Merton asked, "Is this how you want it to be?"
Avery kissed Merton again, forcefully and passionate.
"Yes," Avery nodded.
Merton smiled. Then noticed Tommy. And Lori. Stairing.
"Whaaaaat?" Merton whined. He grinned, stuck his tongue out at them and kissed Avery again.
Tommy and Lori just shrugged and continued in their own lip-locking festivities.
"You WHAT?" Lori asked incrediously.
"I invited Avery," Merton said, cowering away from Lori.
