[ continued from here. ]

[ He's got the food order in, but with no traffic, she gets there before the food. There's a bottle of white wine open and waiting on the counter of his kitchen though, waiting to be poured and enjoyed. He's in jeans and a loose t-shirt, feet bare as he opens the door for her. ]

Hey, come on in. Food should be here any minute.

[ He doesn't quite wait for her before he's pulling her into a gentle hug. ]

[They are about the same height and he is one of the few people she trusts implicitly, so it's easy to let him pull her in and easy to settle there, her own arms coming around him to squeeze gently in return. It's an intimate gesture that puts a lump in her throat, but screw it. She's feeling vulnerable, and it does make her feel better.]

Hey you. [She smiles as she says it, and releases him reluctantly only to tease, self-deprecatingly:] So, nothing better to than baby-sit me tonight?

[The hug is tight, giving her a warm squeeze that also kind of says without words that he's here. Though he lets her go when she releases him, fingers reaching to tug gently at a strand of hair when she teases about babysitting her. ]

It's not babysitting, it's spending time with. [ He gives her a grin. ] And it's a far better night with you here than if I was alone.

Fair enough. [She says it with a real laugh this time.] In that case, I'm glad to help. Boredom would be a terrible way to go.

It really would be. You're my savior. [ His arm settles around her waist after he closes the door and he leads her over to the couch. It's not a long walk, and yet he feels the need to keep her close by his side for the walk over. ] Did you want to watch something or talk or just stretch out and chill?

[Sansa doesn't find it strange -- if anything it's comforting and she unconsciously leans into it.] Um, I'm easy either way. What were you watching before?

[ His heart beats just a little faster for that lean into him, and his thumb teases along her side where it's resting. ] I was watching some of the Marvel movies that Netflix had available. Just finished Avengers Age of Ultron.

Well, who doesn't love a Marvel movie? [That's a rhetorical question, because there were two types of people in the world: people who loved Marvel movies and people Sansa didn't need to waste time on.] I could go for one of those, unless you were thinking of something else.

[ He grins instead of answers that question, shifting to flop down on the couch and pull her right along with him as he grabs the remote off one of the cushions next to them. He's definitely of the mind that Marvel movies are a must. ] I'm down for doing another. Black Panther or Dr. Strange?

Mm, I like Black Panther better. [Settling in beside him -- comfortably close but not weirdly close -- is easy and natural. She smirks at him then.] But I'll hear arguments for Dr. Strange.

I like both, so if you like Black Panther better, no argument from me. We can watch that one. [ Trying to pick his favorite among the movies is hard for him. So instead of making a case for Strange, he just pulls up and starts Black Panther. ]

Wakanda forever, then. [She pulls her feet underneath her and leans into him.] I'm a bad fan, I didn't make it to Captain Marvel, though.

[ His arm settles along her shoulders gently as she leans into him, and he hugs her to him gently, chuckling. ] I haven't either. I've got it amazon'ed to arrive tomorrow though. You're more than welcome to hang around until it arrives if you want.

Yes! I like this plan. It is a good plan. [She's laughing, never mind that tomorrow is tomorrow.] Seven bless Amazon Prime.

I thought it might. [ She can always borrow something of his to sleep in, and he does have a guest room free for her to use, though he also wouldn't object if she wanted to stay close in his bed. ] It's the best, honestly. All the plus, no waiting.

[Impromptu sleepovers = best sleepovers? Maybe yes.]

Amazon will run our lives one day. They'll probably do a better job than we do.

[ Pending the people, absolutely. Impromptu Sansa sleepovers, completely. ] That will be the day. But then we'll have more time to watch all the movies.

Oh, no doubt about that. [She snags a cushion to hold before she can do something crazy and untoward, like hold on to Aegon.]

[ Weellll his arm settles along the back of the couch, so curling up against him is totally a silent invite for her. ] We'll finally be able to catch up on all the movies and tv shows we'd otherwise never be able to see.

Ugh, but they just keep making more. [She's joking, that's really not that big of a hardship.] And if you're like me you're rubbish at choosing and end up watching The Office for the fortieth time anyway.

But we like the more, it gives us more to watch. [ He grins at her, arm sliding to tug her into a small hug. ] Well, at least we know what to expect from The Office.

[It's easy enough (and comfortable) to lean in to the embrace and rest there.] Cringe humor will get old someday but I'm not positive it will be soon.

[ It's an easy embrace that shifts a little to just lazily keeping her close while they rest on the couch, the movie starting to play in front of them. ] Right now it's still perfect, so I'm totally down for it.

[She hums her response, ready to sink into the movie and forget life for a couple of hours.

There is food, and wine, and offhand jokes and comments about the movie and the world it existed in -- but she falls right back into her spot under his arm, where she fits remarkably well. The credits start to roll and she finishes her second glass of wine.]

You know what I wish they could make? A good X-Men movie. There hasn't been one since the first.

[ It's an enjoyable movie, made all the better with the company. His fingers toy with a few strands of her hair gently as he tilts his head to look down at her, her warmth and weight feeling like she belongs there, if he's being honest. ]

I've heard Dark Phoenix was kind of a let down, unless you wiped away the slate and just enjoyed it as it's own little movie? I have yet to go see it though, but I think it's out of theaters now.
