[Eggsy's done a lot of thinking about what happened in that sweet shop between him and Chara. He didn't know if he was in any position to be offering anyone advice about anything, wanted or not, but everything they'd said to him had struck a cord. He wanted to do something, and the one thing he felt he might not screw up is just hanging out.

Inviting Gregor along seemed the natural thing to do. He knew Chara, was smart and perfect and could offer a perspective on everything that's completely different from Eggsy. It felt like the makings of a good time.

He texts them both asking them to meet him in the lounge to hang out. Eggsy has space sodas and space snacks, a whole lot of chocolate, and a couple stacks of DVDs that the other crew have left here. When they come in, he's lounging in a chair with his feet kicked up, three of the recliners positioned in front of the t.v., Eggsy sitting on the far left.]

Someone has to pick a film, yeah?

... These're all kids movies. [Chara's holding a pair of DVDs in each hand, frowning. They turn to him.]

Aren't you both going to get bored?

[lets_see_what_happens]

I doubt it. I won't have seen any of them before.

[Gregor eyes them, characteristically expressionless but for a faint smile around his eyes.]

I suspect they're quite different from the holodramas I was permitted to watch when I was younger. [He bypasses the DVDs and snacks completely to come to a stop next to Eggsy's seat, reaching out to smooth long, cool fingers through his hair in an absently affectionate gesture, or as absent as Gregor ever gets.]

This was all very well thought out.

[commontype]

[Eggsy's seen most of the kid's films because of his little sister, but he'd hardly be bored. He likes the people he's with, and seeing a movie for the second time that someone's seeing for the first could be just as exciting.]

Nah, won't get bored with you two here.

[He glances away from Chara as Gregor crosses the room, smiling openly up at the other man. Eggsy likes when Gregor runs his fingers through his hair, soft, and just for the sake of doing it. His cheeks flush and he shrugs a shoulder.]

Was nothin' really. Just thought it'd be fun.

[heart_breaking]

[Both of them are smiling at each other, they're open about their feelings, and they're saying nice things. It looks like a good match, in Chara's private (expert) opinion. Still, they're not being very useful in helping answer the real question: what movie will they watch? It's up to Chara, and Chara had better not pick anything dumb. Their brow furrows, and they spread the disk cases while the two men are distracted.]

[It's a serious question. One by one, three out of their four are pushed to one side, until...]

We're watching this one.

[They pop open the case immediately, then hesitate. What do Eggsy and Gregor think? Not that it matters, of course, because it's not like Chara usually watches baby's movies for fun, but what if Chara chose wrong? It's a stupid question to think about. Chara steals a glance through their fringe anyway, fiddling with the disk.]

[lets_see_what_happens]

[Gregor watches them push the DVD cases around out of the corner of one eye, running a thumb over the blush on Eggsy's cheek before Chara makes a decision and he lets his hand fall away and tilts his head to see the case cover.]

Sounds good to me. [He doesn't move to sit down quite yet, letting Chara choose a chair first.]

[commontype]

[Eggsy used to think he couldn't be happy here, but sitting there, Gregor nearby and being sweet, Chara close and deciding what to watch. It's nice, the happiest and most comfortable he's been in a long time.]

Same here, yeah? That's a good pick.

[He scoots back in his seat, and kicks his legs up, waiting to see who sits where.]

[heart_breaking]

[Chara watches through their lashes as Gregor touch Eggsy's face, then acts as though they'd never doubted their choice at all.]

Okay.

[Gregor is still standing close to Eggsy when Chara turns away from the DVD player, and whatever their thoughts are on this is difficult to read. They focus on scooping the remote up and heading towards the chair farthest from Eggsy. It is the objectively correct chair.]

[They flop down and draw their feet up with themself, remote held at ready. There's the disk's menu... Then all these commercials they're going to skip...]
