I watched as the movie attempted a minor jumpscare between the brother and the sister. But I was more than happy when Benji decided to lay his head on my shoulder.
I was very entertained with the movie, especially when my little ravenette would repeat the lines he had memorized, sometimes in funny voices.
I was caught off guard when he yawned, proving what I had first seen earlier. His panic attack had exhausted the hell out of him. I pushed his head into my lap, then I started to run my hand through his black curls.
"There. Comfortable?" I asked to the boy in my lap. I could see the faint blush on his cheeks, which caused me to laugh.
Later the soft rising and falling of his chest meant that Benji was asleep. I watched the movie in silence. The action scenes were great, the romance a little cheesy, but when I put myself in Benji's shoes, I could see why he enjoyed it so much.
"He's mortal." Benji muttered right as Evie had when Rick had stabbed Imothep.
"You're awake?"
"I just woke up." He replied, stretching in my lap. His grey eyes just a bit darker than usual from the sleep. I fought the urge to kiss him, and won. I never really thought that I was gay until I met this beauty.
"Good movie, not my favorite, but still good." I said petting his hair.
"It was made into a trilogy later, the first two were good, the last was absolutely terrible, but had a good plot." Benji chuckled a bit.
As I was about to say something along the lines of dinner or something romantic, Benji's cell started to ring.
"'Allo?" He answered.
"Hey Rebel… I know.. The whole ban… Come over anyway, you aren't that far away… It isn't due for a while, but I like to get things done early… See you soon. Ciao." He hung up. That was a quick phone call.
"Who was that?" I tried to sound uninterested.
"My model, I have a project coming up, and I plan to use her for the big finish." Benji answered, sounding so proud.
"She'll be coming over soon, I should probably change…"
"Why? Want to impress her? I think you look great." I commented with a wink.
"Um… for one Rebel is blind. And second, thank you, I'm glad you like it, but I need to change not to mess these clothes up." He responded with a blush. Benji removed himself from my lap, and I shivered from the cold air that hit me suddenly.
I watched as Benji cleaned up the popcorn and replaced the disk back in its case. I hadn't a clue what to do. I stood and walked into the kitchen, where Benji stood grabbing a glass of grape juice.
"My dad wants to meet you." I complained while leaning on the wall.
"W-why?" Benji asked suddenly nervous.
"He wants to make sure you are right for his son," I deepened my voice, imitating my dad. "No other reason, but to judge us and give us disapproving looks and insults." I grumbled in the end.
"We aren't even d-dating…" He mumbled spine straightening.
"Yet." I finished for him. Benji turned around so fast, I was sure he had given himself whiplash. His face was burning red. I laughed at the shock that was written all over his face.
"Benj, I thought I was being obvious with my attraction to you." I laughed harder, bracing myself on my thighs.
"T-Thomas, how can y-you be so.. So calm about it. I c-can't even bring myself to admit my f-feelings." He gushed. I stopped laughing, and looked him straight in the face.
"O-oh, this is even w-worse…" Benji muttered, obviously uncomfortable.
"I never noticed you had freckles on the bridge of your nose before." I said, feeling my face soften. Just as I reached out for him, he closing his eyes (bracing for impact), there was a knock on the door.
"Oh thank goodness, I've been saved." Benji muttered, moving to open the door. I ruffled his curly black hair with a soft chuckle.
