[She nods against him, eyes still closed]

How do you think the others'll react when we tell them?

[allthesensors]

That depends on what exactly we'll be telling them. [Steals a glance at her.]

[backwordscompatible]

Good point.

[Her eyes are closed, but she is smirking so hard.]

Any ideas?

[allthesensors]

There's always that crazy thing called the truth. [Though he's not completely clear on where they stand, since taking it slow can mean a few different things.] That we're dating?

[backwordscompatible]

I like truth.

[She half expected it, but that still didn't stop the slight pink to her cheeks when he finally said it aloud.]

Especially since it's sounding pretty asterous right about now.

[allthesensors]

Agreed on all accounts. And who knows, maybe one day we'll even use those one names that have friend in them.

[backwordscompatible]

Maybe.

I wouldn't mind.

[allthesensors]

I feel like our relationship has one of those Easy Buttons from Staples. We could have all this crazy conflict and denial like some other people we know, but we were like "nope" and hit that button.

[Except for all of that awkwardness and uncertainty in between, but they didn't make a saga out of it.]

[backwordscompatible]

[She giggles softly at this, knowing exactly who he was talking about.]

And just look where that got them. Maybe.

...I don't know; why complicate things further? We both know what we want. It just happened to be the same thing.

[allthesensors]

I'm just glad when I was a little too Wally before and you didn't mind, it wasn't because you were secretly digging Wally back then. [Grins broadly this time so she knows he's joking with her.]

[backwordscompatible]

What can I say? I liked the attention. And where it was coming from.

Or, rather, who.

[allthesensors]

We went from flirting while fighting killer robots to sort of watching Star Wars movies in space. We know how to keep things exciting.

[backwordscompatible]

And, I'm sure, we'll one day go back to that movie, won't we?

[allthesensors]

We could but the living room only has Star Wars, whereas the kitchen has you and Oreo cookies. It's bi-winning.

[backwordscompatible]

Thank you, Charlie Sheen.

You realize, of course, there's a simple solution to this problem: we bring the Oreos back to the living room with us.

[allthesensors]

No one asked for your logic around here, but you might have a point.

[backwordscompatible]

Hey, if you don't like my logic, I can take my Oreos and leave.

[Moves as if she plans to do exactly that]

[allthesensors]

[Laughs and then he tugs her back into a partial hug.]

Okay, okay. Your logic's welcome around these parts.

[backwordscompatible]

[She allows him to pull her back without protest, turning to him with a triumphant smirk]

Then I suppose you can come with me.

[allthesensors]

Deal.

[Lets go of her so he can grab the container of milk and the Oreos. Heads into the living room to reclaim his seat.]

[backwordscompatible]

[They just so happen to make it back in time to catch what is, objectively, the greatest part of the movie: Han and Leia share a private moment before getting interrupted by Billy Dee Williams Lando.]

[Let the Colt 45 Jokes begin~]

[allthesensors]

[And they come in between Robin's laughter and munching on cookies. Mostly his laughter and pointing at the screen.]

[backwordscompatible]

[She's seen this part already--it had been the preview clip when she'd searched through the library archives for videos--but that didn't make it any less funny.]

"Baby, you're so fine, you're like a Colt 46"

[At this line, she completely lost it; her laugher could no longer be contained, pressing her forehead into his shoulder in an attempt to keep herself from falling off the couch. Again.]

[allthesensors]

[This time the two of them manage to stay on the couch but there's still plenty of laughter. He's leaning forward and his upper body is shaking from a combination of how funny the comment was, how much of a kick she's getting out of it, and the whole "you're laughing at how much you're laughing.]

I--hahha--I am glad we made it b-hahaha-back for this part.

[backwordscompatible]

[His laughing at her only makes her laugh even harder. You know how it goes; to the point where she's wiping tears from her eyes.]

It never...gets any...less funny....
