Room 204 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Prom had been fun and the evening after prom had been even more fun (Ben liked Ender in uniform, so sue him), but being fairly bright Fandom students who had been at the school for four years, both guys had remembered to put some clothing back on before falling asleep just in case.

Ben was curled into Ender now, sleeping in for once (so...past sun-up) and enjoying a weekend where he had nothing planned.

[OOC: You know the drill by now, folks! For the boy, then the visitor.]

Ender let out a laugh that was more a breath than anything else. Laughing at himself, perhaps.

He reached out along Ben's back and touched Val's arm, and got a small smile from her, too. These poor two folks - stuck with him for years upon years.

"We should put on a movie when we're done eating," he said. He could only take so much of it until the weird blend of alienation and longing shoved his heart up his throat.

"I won't suggest the car ones," Ben said, "though I'm sure they're considered classic cinema in Val's time."

Feeling slight self-conscious about doing it with Val curled into him, Ben kissed Ender on the cheek instead of on the mouth like he would've preferred and sent a pulse of his emotions--love, understanding, the slightest hint of being overwhelmed as well--through the Force toward him.

Val gave that a theatrical shiver. "I have heard of these car movies," she said. "And I fled in terror."

"I can grab something by Shakespeare," Ender noted. "Though I do have a few other films lying around, too."

Generally literature-based and philosophical ones.

His eyes flickered shut briefly and he gave Ben a squeeze at the by-now familiar burst of not-his-emotions. There was that, at least.

Ben squeezed back and then smiled at Val. "Please tell me the Shakespeare obsession abates a bit."

"He hasn't named any planets, planetoids or space rocks after him since I've known him," Val said solemnly.

[momslilassassin]

"What about children or pets?" Ben teased.

[bend-in-time.livejournal.com]

"None," Val said, grinning. "But then 'William' wouldn't fit in our naming scheme."

[momslilassassin]

"Three letters and single syllables?" Ben asked. "We could've gone with Wil."

[bend-in-time.livejournal.com]

"Everyone would spell it with two l's anyway."

[momslilassassin]

"Ender doesn't fit the pattern," Ben said with another smile. "Do we call him Der?"

"Andrew, actually, most of the time," Val muttered. "Which is even worse."

"Hey." That was Ender.

[momslilassassin]

Ben chuckled. "I only call him that when I'm mad at him right now," he said. "Guess that'll have to change."
