I'm stealing you for a sleepover. I picked out two films, you can choose which one we watch. The first is called 'Gamera' and it's about...a giant turtle monster? How a turtle is imposing, I have no idea, but there we go. The second is called 'Jurassic Park.' That one's about dinosaurs that eat a few people.

Is this because of Trixie?

From:

brushoff

Partly. It's also partly because my inmate is a huge child that I'm very annoyed with at the moment and it would best if I give him a little bit of space. And it's also also partly because I like hanging out with you and think you'd enjoy either of those two movies.

From:

Alright. We can try the dinosaur one.

[Watching big animals eat people sounds fun.]

From:

Swing by my place after dinner. I'll have popcorn and soda and other movie snacks.

From:

weboftime

Alright.

[He knocks on his door after dinner, hands in his pockets. He's nervous, out of place without Trixie.]

[ Dorian opens the door, looking the most casual that Henry's ever seen him. He's wearing a sweatshirt and some lounge pants, gesturing for Henry to come inside. ]

We're just watching a movie, [ he points out. ] Relax. We're not going to have some heartfelt dramatic conversations unless you want them.

That flood was - [He shrugs, but walks inside.] It was - messy.

From:

brushoff

Understatement of the fucking century, [ Dorian gripes. ] I really don't know why the Admiral views mass trauma as a mechanism for getting people to bond.

From:

weboftime

I'd like to hear arguments that the Admiral does anything differently than what I did.

[He does relax, though.]

Well. Shall we?

From:

brushoff

The Admiral only does things differently because he's got a better PR firm, [ Dorian teases. ]

But yes. Here, I've got popcorn and drinks already made.

[ Plain Coke for Henry, rum and Coke for Dorian. His couch also has plenty of blankets, pillows, and all sort of accoutrement for a sleepover. ]

From:

Why do you get alcohol?

[He's a damn adult, too!]

From:

brushoff

Because I didn't know if you liked the taste.

[ He offers Henry his rum and coke before saying, ] You haven't had rum and coke, right? If you like it, I'll make you one of your own.

From:

weboftime

[He takes the drink and tries it with a shrug.]

It's not terrible.

From:

brushoff

[ Yeah, because it's 75% coca cola. That's why it's not terrible, Henry. ]

You can finish that one off. I'll make one for myself.

From:

[He just likes sweet things! And this is sweet enough.]

Thanks. [He settles down in a chair, crossing his legs.]

From:

brushoff

You're welcome, [ Dorian says, before he presses play on the tv remote. Jurassic Park time! Also time for him to make another Dorian drink, but he can mix a cocktail during the first few minutes of the film.

Once he's done, he sits on the couch and immediately claims a blanket and three pillows for himself. ]

From:

weboftime

[Over the course of the movie and the next, Henry slowly gets more and more drunk. Until, after a third cocktail, he sits against Dorian.]

This is the quietest Trixie's ever been, you know.

From:

brushoff

[ Dorian's been taking care not to get himself too drunk. He'll still make himself rum and cokes alongside Henry's but the good thing about being the bartender is that you can occasionally add a little bit less rum for yourself.

As Henry leans against him, Dorian adjusts the blankets so that they can cover Henry as well. ]

You know she'll be twice as loud to make up for it when she comes back to herself. Yelling about that cunt of an Admiral, knocking her out like the craven fucker he is.
