Movie Night! Who: Aiden and Eddie Where: Eddie's Apartment When: Friday Night, June 8th
After a ridiculously long day at work, Eddie was glad when he finally got home. Not that he didn't enjoy his job - he did, but he was also glad for his weekend and to spend some time with Aiden. He hadn't been able to as much time with her recently as he liked. He checked the clock on the kitchen wall, figuring that he had enough time to have a shower before she arrived for their movie and pizza night. He was quick to go to the bathroom, discarding his clothes on the bathroom floor before hopping under a hot shower, trying to get himself clean as quick as possible.
Aiden arrived at her friend's apartment, with pizza in hand, after she had finally escaped her family's lodge. With school having let out not all that long ago it brought along a steady flow of visitors to the sleepy little waterfront town. And much business to The Lodge, which left Aiden with very little time of her own these past few days.
"Eddie!" She pounded on the door, mostly as an annoyance to her friend, "I bring doughy goodness with the works!" Her delayed arrival should have given him plenty of time to get ready for their night in.
You'd think so, wouldn't you? He rushed over to the door, clad only in jeans for now, still furiously toweling his hair dry. He opened the door for her, scowling cutely at her and commenting at how her pounding could wake the dead (he always said something along those lines when she knocked on his door). "Come in, come in," he said, ushering her inside and shutting the door behind her. "I'll just be a minute," he said, before rushing off to find a shirt.
"Ohh. You're sooo cute when you scowl and fuss like that." Aiden said teasingly, with a dimpled grin, as she stepped inside, giving a playful pinch to his then before he scurried off to find a shirt to wear. In his absence, Aiden set the pizza down on the kitchen table and the got herself something to drink from the fridge.
"You can be cruel sometimes!" He called out to her, obviously joking. He emerged from the bathroom a moment later, now, thankfully, wearing a shirt. He walked over to the small kitchen and opened the pizza box, snagging a slice before she could catch him in the act.
"Hey now!" She scolded as she caught Eddie with a slice in his hand. "That's for the movie. You eat the pizza now and I'll have to go out and get another one." She said, mostly teasing as one slice was only one slice of the large pie with the works.
"I'll eat slowly then," he replied a bit cheekily, folding his pizza slice to make it easier to take bites of. "So, what movies are you in the mood to watch?" He asked curiously. He had a small collection of movies, but if she wanted to watch something different he could rent one from an online service easily enough.
"I brought the pizza, you're suppose to supply the entertainment." She replied back with a bit of a grin, taking a small drink of her soda then. She was in a good mood, which was the usual for Aiden, so she could sit through anything Eddie put on to play.
He asked her to grab a soda for him as well while he took the pizza box and his rapidly disappearing slice of pizza to the living room; plopping the pizza box down on the coffee table while he finished his slice. "Oh, I've got a few things here. Just wanted to make sure what kind of mood you were in to watch something. Maybe an action movie?" He asked hopefully. He was in enough of an energetic mood watch something along those lines.
Aiden grabbed a soda for him, as requested, before following Eddie into the other room. "As long as it's nothing from your porn collection, I'm in the mood to watch just about anything you own." she teased, handing off the soda to Eddie before she plopped herself down on the couch.
"How did you know--Oh," Eddie replied, blushing furiously. Like all young men he had a porn collection. He thanked her for his soda and set it down for the moment, moving to put a movie on as he quickly changed the subject. "The new Underworld movie okay?"
"Dude, you are SO busted." She laughed, toeing off her shoes then to swing her feet up onto the coffee table. Most guys she knew had a private collection of porn, and Aiden was figuring her bestie was no different. "The movie works for me." She said then, before taking another drink of her soda.
"Cool," he replied, still blushing furiously. After putting the movie on, he sat down on the couch next to her and had a mouthful of his drink. "You live to torment me," he muttered under his breath.
"Dirty job as it is, someone had to take on the role." She grinned playfully, leaning forward then, as the dvd started playing, to snatch a slice from the pizza box.
"Oh sure," he replied with a laugh, giving her a playful nudge. He then set his drink down and snagged a slice of pizza as well, half leaning against her as he got himself comfortable.
Aiden smiled happily when she felt the nudge to her side. "We should go for a run tomorrow." The dark haired were suggested, leaning in a little bit to rest against Eddie.
"We can," he agreed as he continued munching on his slice, letting out a happy rumble at the taste. "You can stay over if you want and we can go out in the morning," he suggested.
"That'd totally work." Aiden responded. While she was off tomorrow from having to work The Lodge, Aiden knew that might not end up being the case if she went home after their movie night. And it wasn't like she hadn't crashed at Eddie's place before.
"Remind me to get out more blankets," he replied after eating more of his pizza, starting to get a slack jawed expression on his face as they watched the movie.
Aiden didn't say anything for a moment as she finished off her slice of pizza. "Don't worry about it, I know where they are if I need one." Aiden knew where pretty much everything was in the apartment, save of course for his hidden stash of porn videos. And it wasn't like she was eager to find out either.
"Alright," he replied after a long moment, starting to get more engrossed in the movie. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and tugged her close without even thinking about it.
Her head fell gently to his shoulder then, Aiden trying to concentrate more on the movie now as well. Even when they had been kids, Aiden had never given a second thought when Eddie did things like this. It had always seemed to be a natural thing and never taken in the wrong context.
Not at all. Eddie was always affectionate to those that he cared for. Aiden just got a different kind of attention since he had a stronger bond with her. He made the odd comment here or there while they watched the movie, mainly about how creeped out he was about the young girl in it and how he missed one of the characters.
