Before the Friendship Games: Sugarcoat
Movie Night
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNeon and Sugarcoat exited the shower, then changed into their clothes. "I don't know about you, hon, but that was one hell of a workout we gave each other!" Neon said with a tired laugh.
"Yeah," Sugarcoat said. "We should just rest up until tonight. Got any ideas?"
Neon cupped his chin in thought. "Hmm. How much time do we have?"
Sugarcoat thought for a moment. "Well, it looks like an hour's passed since we got here. Maybe we could watch a couple of movies or something? Snuggle and all that romantic BS during said movies?"
Neon snickered. "Sure, why not? Should we get Chineighse? We already had pizza on Friday."
Sugarcoat shrugged. "Eh, works for me."
"All right then," Neon said as he rummaged through a drawer in the kitchen. "Aha! There it is!" He produced a menu from a nearby restaurant and handed it to his girlfriend. "I already know what I want, I don't have to look."
Sugarcoat took the menu and studied it carefully. After a few minutes, her eyes lit up. "Okay, I know what I want." The couple ordered and began to select a movie as they waited.
"Any genre you have in mind, hon," Neon asked.
"Anything but romance. I get enough sappiness just being with you," Sugarcoat said with a wink. Neon blushed in spite of himself, causing her to giggle. "You're cute when you blush, hon," she said as she slowly walked toward him. "Hell, you're always cute." She leaned into him as he sat on the couch and ran a hand through his hair, all the way down to his neck. Neon shuddered excitedly at his girlfriend's touch.
Sugarcoat gave Neon a quick peck on the lips, then kissed him again, only longer. She poked his teeth with her tongue and sighed as she was granted access. Neon hugged her, deepening the kiss and the two continued their makeout session until someone knocked on the door.
Sugarcoat got off of her boyfriend, smiling. "I guess that's one way to pass the time," Neon said with a laugh as he got up to answer the door. Neon grabbed his wallet and paid the delivery woman, then grabbed a couple of plates and set them on the coffee table along with the food. "It's hot, but It'll cool off in a couple of minutes," Neon said.
"I don't mind the wait." Sugarcoat said as Neon went back to searching for movies.
"Ooh," Neon said excitedly. "How about this one," he asked as he pointed to one of the titles.
Sugarcoat shrugged. "Sure, why not?"
"All right then," Neon said as the movie began to play.
Neon cleaned the coffee table as the credits began to roll. "Eh, I've seen better movies than that," Sugarcoat said. "It was okay, though. Mind if I pick the next one," she asked.
"I don't see why not," Neon said as he began cleaning the plates before storing the leftovers in the fridge. "No horror, though. I fucking hate getting jumpscared."
Sugarcoat smiled. "Are you suuuure you don't want to watch a horror movie," she asked in a playful tone.
Neon rolled his eyes. "Yes. Yes I am," he said in an assertive tone.
"You're no fun," Sugarcoat said with a pout.
"I am fun...in bed," Neon said with a smirk.
Sugarcoat stifled a laugh. "That you are, babe, that you are." Neon returned to the living room and sat next to her.
"So, did you find anything interesting," Neon asked.
Sugarcoat shrugged. "Not really, but I'm trying."
Neon laid himself onto his girlfriend's lap. "Well let me know when you do. If you don't mind, I'm gonna make myself comfortable while I wait," he said with a smile.
Sugarcoat smiled in return and ran a hand through his hair, then returned to her search. Several minutes later, she smiled widely. "Hey hon, how about this," she asked, gesturing to the television.
Neon turned his gaze to the TV and smiled. "Sure, that sounds like it'd be good for a few laughs."
"That settles it then," Sugarcoat said as she selected the movie.
"Holy shit hon, you laugh like a hyena," Neon said as he tried to catch his breath from laughter.
"And...and you laugh like a fucking dolphin," Sugarcoat said before descending into another fit of laughter. The two shared one final laugh before wiping tears from their eyes.
"That's gonna be a tough movie to top," Sugarcoat said.
Neon checked his phone for the time of day. "It had better, we only have time for one more before we have to turn in."
"Then I guess we'd better make it count," Neon said.
"All right then," Sugarcoat said. She scanned all the movie genres and cupped her chin in thought. "Would it be bad if it left on a cliffhanger," she asked.
"Depends on how good the rest of the movie is," Neon replied.
"Eh. Fair enough," Sugarcoat said. "But that's a pretty subjective thing to say."
"Be that as it may, I'd rather not argue over semantics. It might take time away from movie watching."
"Good point," Sugarcoat said. "Hey, how about this one?"
"Looks good to me," Neon said. "Lights...camera..."
"Action," the couple shouted together.
The movie ended, and Neon Lights and Sugarcoat eyes went wide and their mouths were agape. The stayed motionless for several moments before looking at each other, still keeping their facial expressions intact.
"So...that was a movie we just watched," Neon said, dumbfounded.
"Yeeeeeah," Sugarcoat said slowly. "I did not expect that at all."
"Shall we agree never to speak of this again," Neon asked in a solemn tone.
"Only if you have bleach for our brains, babe," Sugarcoat said.
"Sorry, I don't. But I can think of the next best thing," Neon said in a seductive tone.
Sugarcoat grinned. "Sex is better than brainwashing any day of the week."
"Yeah it is," Neon said as he took his girlfriend by the hand. "Come on, let's go put a nice stain on my bed."
