"Movie night?"
Scott hesitated at the blank looks on his coworkers' faces. Mike, who'd been the one to question his proposal, Jeremy, Vincent, Fritz, Alex, and Javis all sat or stood around the office, staring at the phone-headed guard.
"Yes, movie night," Scott confirmed.
"Why?" Alex asked, narrowing his eyes. He crossed his arms and leant back against the wall.
"Because I think it'll be good for us to spend a little more time together so we can work together more efficiently."
"We already spend enough time together in this hellhole. I'm good without any more, thank you," Mike said. "I need my weekends to get away from you freaks."
"Hey, look who's talking!" Fritz retorted. The two shared a fierce glare.
"Guys!" Scott exclaimed. "Come on, it's good for team dynamics."
"No way," Alex huffed.
Scott furrowed his eyebrows, then looked to the ones who hadn't answered. "Well?"
Jeremy tapped his fingers together. "I-I don't know . . . maybe?"
"I'm up for it. Just as long as we don't watch no chick flick," Javis agreed.
"Eh, sure," Fritz said. "What's the harm?"
"I'm in," Vincent echoed. He then scooted closer to Scott. "As long as you're gonna be there, love." He brought a hand up and was about to run a finger down Scott's chest, but the other man grabbed his wrist and forced his arm back down, directing a scowl at his estranged coworker.
"Alright, so there are four of us now," Scott continued, shoving Vincent away. "Alex? Mike?"
"Come on, Mike," Jeremy coaxed, "it'll be fun."
"Yeah, what he said, Alex," Javis added.
"Definitely not now," Alex retorted. He glared up at the group. Mike sighed, then set an arm across Alex's shoulders, earning him a sharp growl and a burning glare.
"I guess we'll come," Mike groaned, figuring he would subject the newer guard to the torture as well.
"What?! N-" Mike slapped a hand over Alex's mouth, and they all ignored the furious, muffled snapping.
"Uh, okay," Scott murmured warily. "My place tonight at seven, alright?"
There was a chorus of agreements, and they all ignored the growling.
"Alright, so what movie are we watching?" Javis asked, plopping down on the couch right next to Alex. The smaller security guard was nearly crushed by the hulking arm that came down next to his head. He leaned away and swallowed nervously.
"Please no romance," Mike added.
"How about a comedy?" Jeremy suggested.
Scott opened up a drawer, displaying a large amount of DVDs. "Alright, here's what I have."
"'The Lion King'?" Mike asked, on his knees next to the drawer. "Really, PG?"
"Hey, it's a good movie. Besides, when I moved out of my mom's house, she packed a lot of stuff like this." He nudged the drawer with a socked foot. "I did my personal belongings."
"What do you have against 'The Lion King', Mike?" Fritz asked.
"Nothing. It's just, you know, a cartoon," Mike replied with a shrug.
"Ooh, can we watch a cartoon?" Jeremy asked. "I love cartoon movies!"
Mike smiled. "Anything for you, buddy - uh, that is, if no one else objects?"
There were a few mehs and okays so Mike took that a collective yes and sorted through the rest of the movies, picking out all the cartoon ones. Once he was done in a few minutes, there were five or six to choose from.
"Definitely not 'Sleeping Beauty'," Javis said. "That movie is too girly."
"I always liked that movie," Scott commented with a small, noncommittal shrug. He noticed the looks he was getting and raised an eyebrow. "What? It's not like it's a bad one. Besides, I liked the colors."
Mike blinked. "Uh, okay. Vincent, Alex, have any input?"
"How about . . . 'Finding Nemo'?" Alex suggested in a slightly bored tone.
"Ooh, yes, let's watch that!" Jeremy agreed quickly.
"That's fine with me," Vincent said. "Murder and kidnapping; my favorite." He grinned.
"Sounds good. I haven't watched that movie in forever," Fritz added.
Mike shook the movie in its case. "Nemo is it, then."
"Great!" Scott declared, clapping his hands together. "I'll just get the popcorn and you guys get the movie started." He vanished into the kitchen a moment later.
"I thought we were adults," Javis commented, humor clear in his voice as the words appeared on his screen.
"You?" Alex muttered. "An adult? Give me a break."
The popcorn was popped and distributed evenly among the group in bowls. Then everyone got their drinks and the ones who didn't have seats got situated so Mike could play the movie. Scott turned and sat down on his so-far-empty loveseat. Jeremy was about to sit down next to him, but before he could, a purple shape took the spot. Scott's head was turned away, so he didn't see Vincent there - much to his delight.
"Come on, Jeremy, you can sit on the floor with me," Mike said. He patted the carpet next to him. The other guard quickly sat down. Fritz, Javis, and Alex were on the couch. And Alex still looked like a child compared to the muscular person next to him.
"Alright, let's get this show on the road," Mike proclaimed, pointing the remote at the screen. He pressed play and they all sat back to enjoy it.
At the part where Nemo was going to school, Vincent slid closer to the man next to him.
"Mr. Ring Ring, I'm scared! Hold me!" Vincent whispered, putting up a terribly unconvincing façade.
Scott leaned away. "We're watching Nemo! Get off me!" He tried to shove the perv away but he only clung tighter to him.
"Please?" Vincent turned himself so he was splayed halfway across Scott's lap.
"Hey!"
"Shh, we're trying to watch the movie," Mike hissed, not turning to look at them. Scott glanced over. He could feel Mike's smirk from all the way across the room. Still, he didn't want to disturb the movie, so instead he silently pushed Vincent's long legs off his lap. Well, tried to. That only made the other man curl tighter around Scott's waist.
"Vincent, get off!" PG hissed, swatting his coworker's hands.
"Will you two be quiet?" Mike repeated, trying not to show humor in his voice. Jeremy gave him an odd look, but Mike just winked and turned back to watch what was happening onscreen.
"I'm scared," Vincent whispered as Nemo began to swim over the dropoff. He pulled Scott down suddenly, and the phone-headed guard had to stifle a yelp as it happened. The two ended up sideways on the loveseat, Vincent holding Scott close.
Scott was a bit shocked, so when he finally realized what his coworker was doing, he began to wiggle. Vincent, as of now, was spooning him. Spooning! And Scott was the little spoon!
"Eck! Let go of me!" Scott hissed. "You better not be getting a . . . you know!"
Vincent purred, tugging Scott back in close. "Getting what? You better say it, so I know."
Scott blushed furiously, eyebrows pointed inwards in a deep scowl. "You know what I mean!"
"Geez, will you guys shut up already?" Mike snapped again, still pretending to be irritated. Jeremy smiled next to him. The two shared a quick look, devious in nature.
Once again embarrassed, Scott fell silent. It didn't seem like he was going to get out of this, if Vincent's breath on the back of his neck was any indicator. Plus, he didn't want everyone to know what was happening. It was super embarrassing.
"That's it, Mr. Ring Ring," Vincent purred. "Just accept it."
Scott blushed harder. "Don't call me that." He could feel the small movement of Vincent's chest as he laughed.
"Of course, love." With that, Vincent pulled Scott closer, making sure their bodies were pressed together. He then went for Scott's hand, interlocking their fingers.
"Hey!" Scott snapped, yanking his hand away. "Don't make me kick you in the-"
"Relax, Phone. No need to get violent." Vincent grinned. "But that does turn me on."
Scott groaned quietly. "You're disgusting."
"The things I like to do in bed are a far cry from my actual personality."
"I hate you."
"No, you don't. You wouldn't be letting this happen if you did."
Scott flushed furiously at the implications. "I'm not letting this happen."
"Well, you kinda are. I mean, why else wouldn't you have moved by now?"
Suddenly, a cold sensation ran up the back of Scott's neck. He yanked his head away quickly. "Are you licking me?!"
Vincent gave a small shrug. "Maybe."
"You're so gross."
"Wanna see how gross I can get?"
"Fuck off."
"With you?"
"No!"
"God, shut up already!" Mike yelled again, a grin on his face. Jeremy snickered next to him, covering his mouth to stifle the sound.
Scott huffed and Vincent grinned.
Once the movie was done, Mike stood up to put another in. They chose a live action this time; well, mostly everyone. Alex had zonked out in the middle of the movie. It was strange, seeing him sleep, as he had severe insomnia and almost never slept. To make matters even odder, he was halfways on Phone Dude; head on the couch's armrest and his legs on Javis' lap.
Scott and Vincent were still spooning, but now they looked a lot more comfortable, Mike noticed. He couldn't help the small smirk as he turned his back to put the movie in. The remaining six had decided on 'The Avengers'. So, when everyone was situated once again, Mike settled down on the floor next to Jeremy and started the movie.
