Movie Date for likely_evil

[manorsuperman]

[After taking care of everything―doing her hair, dropping off Joey at Clark's, sending a text to Ruby to let her know she was in the clear―Lana hops in her car and drives to the Talon to meet Sam.

She checks the mirror one last time before she gets out of her car and walks in. Very fast. She's been looking forward to this all week.]

[a beat]

My parents met here. It's the reason I fought so hard to keep this place open. I guess I thought we should have at least one date here.

[likely_evil]

Alright. Then let's go get some popcorn and we'll just pick something.

[manorsuperman]

[Lana smiles and just...goes behind the counter and helps herself like she owns the place, which she kind of used to. And she's good enough friends with the current one that it's all good.

Thank you, Tess Mercer.]

[likely_evil]

[Sam leans over it to watch, then points at the sour ropes]

Grab me one of those too?

[manorsuperman]

[slides that across the counter and grabs herself some chocolate covered raisins]

Ready?

[likely_evil]

[pockets the candy and holds a hand out to help her back over]

As I'll ever be.

[manorsuperman]

[takes that hand and...leads him to the place where the movies are kept]

Pick anything you want.

[while she sneaks a kernel or two of popcorn]

[likely_evil]

[looks and reaches for one, almost like it's a holy object]

Have you seen Star Wars?

[because he loves it, but has never seen it on the big screen]

[manorsuperman]

Is there someone who hasn't?

[likely_evil]

I mean, on the big screen. Completely different than on a tv.

[manorsuperman]

I guess I haven't.

[likely_evil]

Would I completely ruin the idea of your date night if I ask if we can watch that?

[manorsuperman]

Not at all.

[likely_evil]

Good.

[he looks like a happy little boy as he kisses her, then grabs her and the movie and heads towards the movie theatre]

[manorsuperman]

[OMG that is so adorable. Why is her boyfriend so adorable?

She just follows, chuckling a bit and enjoying said display of adorable.]

[likely_evil]

[and the movie gets set up and he pulls her into the seat next to him.]

I love you.

[manorsuperman]

I know.

[Yes, that was a Han/Leia reference.]

[likely_evil]

[yes, he knows and he leans over to kiss her before pulling her closer to snuggle with him]

[manorsuperman]

[she wraps her arms around him and leans her head on his shoulder]

[likely_evil]

[his head rests against hers and he manages to stay like that for a good part of the movie too]

[manorsuperman]

[She could stay like this forever. Do you have to move at all, Sam?]

[likely_evil]

[not until he starts to shift because he needs to pee... which wouldn't be for a long time.]

[manorsuperman]

[But when he does get up, she will finish off the popcorn and steal some of his sour rope. Shouldn't have left that behind, Sam.]

[likely_evil]

[he comes back with a drink and more popcorn and sees the missing rope]

Hey!

[manorsuperman]

[INNOCENT FACE THAT NO ONE BUYS ACTIVATE]

What?

[likely_evil]

If you wanted sour ropes, I would have gotten more on my way back...

[puppy eyes that always work]

[manorsuperman]

[Aw, Sam. Now she's embarrassed and ducking her head a little.]

Sorry.

[likely_evil]

[he pouted a moment longer, then smiled]

You're just lucky I love you.
