He caught it before it hit him while his deep chuckle filled the air again. He threw the pillow back at me but with less force than I used which I was grateful for.

If he threw the pillow with even a quarter of his normal strength, then I feared I would go flying into the atmosphere.

"Like you are not a massive know-it-all too." I mumbled with a slight pout "I know that you are secretly a nerd."

Stone sent me a small glare but as soon as I let out a laugh at his grumpy face, his features softened.

For the next hour, we sat in comfortable silence as we watched the movie. I laughed at the deadpan humour and the eccentric darkness of the story and tried to seem nonchalant that Stone was watching me rather than the film.

It surprised me how comfortable I was in the position on the sofa. My head rested against the armrest as my feet laid on top of Stone's leg. His large hands laid on my calves which warmed up my whole body.

When the credits to the movie rolled, I was unwilling to move. I did not want to leave the warmth that spread snuggled me like a blanket.

I sighed before looking up at him and asking, "Do you want to stay and watch the second movie?"

His lip quirked up infinitesimally. I had to stretch up to see it, but it was definitively a small smile.

"There is a second movie?" The deep rough voice asked.

I gasped in faux horror "You haven't seen the sequel?"

He chuckled and lifted his arms until they crossed and rested behind his head. He wore a smug expression which I watched with intent instead of glancing down at where his t-shirt had risen at the bottom.

"I will stay, Medusa." He grumbled out to me before adding in a teasing tone "Only because you insisted."

Rolling my eyes as I got up, I walked away from him and through to my bedroom. I opened the drawer of DVDs and grabbed the second movie before I noticed what was on my bed.

Pete the Second was perched between my pillows.

I moved it just in case Stone seen and it made a comment about how I had it there because he had won it for me.

Not that I was planning for him to be allowed in my room. Again.

When I got back to the living room, the giant figure was taking the first movie out of the disc machine. I passed him the new one and took the old one back, our fingers brushing for a few seconds in the process.

Stone joined me back on the sofa and reclaimed the larger portion of the small seat. I was squished between him and the side of the sofa until he moved my legs back onto his lap.
