I could go for some coffee, but I really shouldn’t.

That’s kind of gross. Do you want to borrow mine?
No. It’s terrible. You are not allowed to listen to it.
“I’m sure I will.” The boy replied sourly to her comment on a future baby sloth in their midst, pulling an unsettled face to emphasize his disapproval. “Hey, I’ve told you a story before this, haven’t I? Yeah, the one based on The Matrix which you couldn’t even appreciate. Really, I don’t know why I go on when you don’t appreciate my stories. I think they’re great and highly realistic.” Unamused, Anthony rested the back of his head as his brown hair ruffled into a mess against the pillow. He perked up once Kiran voiced her suggestion, watching her jolt upright to explain her thoughts. “Sure.” He nodded, following his gaze along as the girl moved off his bed without hesitating for an answer. “Wow, you’re too kind. You’d really let me choose the movie?” Anthony grinned, sitting up to lean against the headboard. “I don’t think I really have a favourite movie. It’s kind of like the favourite song thing, except instead of changing constantly, I’m usually undecided.”
After a quick moment of thinking through his movie collection, Anthony tapped his head as he came to a decision. “Oh, let’s watch Never Back Down. That’s a great movie and it has some nice fight scenes.” He suggested, a little too eager over his choice. “And that one hot blonde girl in it.” Shifting to the side to make room for Kiran, he reached for his universal remote, feeling unmotivated to scour across his large bedroom to turn off the lights. “You won’t fall asleep. It’s too exciting to fall asleep in.” The boy stated, resting his arm under and around her body as they immersed themselves in the excess of blankets. Gluing his eyes towards the brightness of the flatscreen on his wall, Anthony relaxed comfortably as the movie began to play out. “I’ll tell you when the best parts are coming up, especially when he gets challenged to fight with the other guy.”
“How can you not have a favorite movie? That does make sense. I bet your favorite movie is probably Tiffany’s now, and you just don’t want to admit it.” Kiran teased playfully, pulling up the blankets more onto her body, trying to avoid being cold at any cost. Laying quietly as she listened to him voice things about the movie that she had gotten herself into watching, her facial expression shifted into one of disappointment, tilting her head up towards the boy with her eyebrows wrinkled. “Is there a lot of like blood and violence in this movie? I might have to hide face in your shoulder, or I’m going to be sick.” The blonde warned dramatically, moving her thin leg to slip in between his legs.
“You’d be surprised how easily I can fall asleep in a movie. What’s that one movie, where the girl gets kidnapped? Oh right, taken. Yeah I fell asleep during that because one I was really tired, and that movie was just terrifying.” Kiran informed him, as her attention began to shift away from the movie, even though it had successfully grasped his full attention. Quietly writing her own name, along with his, and other doodles across his abdomen and chest, not wanting to interrupt his movie. “So what’s happening again? I don’t get it.” The blonde let out generically, switching her head to position on his shoulder again, trying to become more interested in the movie of his choosing.
Absorbing her purposely obvious hint on being asked to prom, Anthony played out his poker face, knowing that he’d have to start thinking about it sooner or later. “I could see you being an event planner, but probably not for long. You’d be walking around in your heels managing everything and directing people on how to make it all a perfect event, but I’m not sure you’d want to do that for the rest of your life.” He shared, nodding his head slowly in agreement. “Sleeping’s not meant to be all that entertaining.” Caving his chest in gently as Kiran gave a soft poke, the boy pulled her in closer as he remained with a smile plastered across his features. “I’d hate to not be able to graduate.” He pouted, adjusting his head as his cheek cushioned into the pillow. “Good.” He replied, dropping his tone to match hers. As his gaze focused on the different lines of her face, Anthony was slightly caught off guard once the blonde moved to quickly press their lips together.
“A story?” He repeated, pushing his tongue against the roof of his mouth in thought. “That’s too much thinking and creativity.” The boy complained, lacking much seriousness. Remembering for a brief moment the initial reasons why Kiran had come over to his room, Anthony settled contently in with the fact that he’d almost completely forgotten just by being in the satisfaction of her presence. Shaking it off as he knew that she’d be too tired, he directed his train of thought back into coming up with a story. “Alright. Once upon a few days ago, there were two, uh, pick an animal. Okay no, there were two rabbits that lived in the flourishing, bright areas of the forest. Girl Rabbit, because I don’t want to make up names, had the best tail in the land, and all the other boy rabbits were basically dying of thirst because of it.” He began, slowly making it up as he went.
“And Boy Rabbit was a God; a reincarnation of Narcissus except without the whole dying part and he wasn’t cocky at all. One day, the two went hopping along being the two most amazing woodland creatures in the world before they heard an unappealing sound coming from a crate nearby. Curious to find out what it was, they went over and opened the crate up, only to find an ugly baby sloth. Boy Rabbit threw up and suggested for them to leave because who even would’ve stayed looking at that thing? But Girl Rabbit, with her kind and gentle heart, wanted to take care of the poor animal and nurture it as if it were her own. Before they could come to an agreement, the baby sloth did what sloths do and killed them both. The end.” Clapping his hands together once, Anthony grinned proudly with a raise of his eyebrows. “I should write a book. You’re welcome.”
Kiran’s face shifted into different expressions as his story went on further, being made up right from his head on the spot. “Wow.” She stated simply once his story was complete, before she trailed onto her thoughts on it, ”That was probably the worst story I’ve ever heard. You killed two rabbits, who were basically us, and they got killed by a baby sloth, which is just the saddest thing in the world.” Kiran said with a look of teasing disappointment on her face, “Baby sloths do not kill things. You’ll realize that once I have mine, and it’s all cuddled in bed with us.” She added, knowing that the idea of being in bed with a sloth was the furthest thing from appealing to him. “We’ll have to work on the quality of your stories. That one was almost as bad as that time you tried to tell me a story that had to do with the matrix, and I didn’t get it because I had never seen the matrix.” She informed him, letting a teasing grin appear on her face, before it faded away as an idea had popped into her head, “You know what we could do? We could watch a movie. We never just lay in bed and watch movies.” The girl suggested, pushing herself out of her laying position.
“Thoughts, comments, concerns on the idea?” The blonde joked, hopping off the bed as she quickly made her way over to where he kept some of his movies, “Since I’m such a kind soul, and I’ve kind of got the feeling that you don’t own Tiffany’s or any girlie movies, I’ll let you pick the movie, or movies that we watch.” She added, taking a seat in front of the cabinet, as she began to shuffle through the different movies. “What is your favorite movie? I don’t know if you’ve ever really told me what it is.” Kiran said, eager for him to cure her curiosity. Once Anthony had finally chosen the movie that he wanted to watch, the girl walked swiftly back over to his bed, pulling the covers down as she climbed up into his large bed. “Don’t forget to turn the lights off.” Snatching the blankets that he had at the end of the bed, Kiran laid them out all around where the two would be laying for their movie time. Smiling over at him once he regained his previous position in bed, she moved her body towards him, laying her head on his shoulder, once he placed a secure arm around her. “I hope I don’t fall asleep.” The blonde joked, feeling her eye lids grow slightly droopy, before quickly forcing them open as the movie began to play on his TV.
And how did you feel about it?
Well that was the night I was almost killed, so I’d say it wasn’t that great of a feeling. But it’s only slightly different than you getting a drop or two of champagne in your orange juice.
