Was Iris blushing too? Cas could have sworn he saw a hint of pink in her cheeks. He wasn’t sure what reason she had to be embarrassed though. Her comment had been clever, even if it had been at his expense—sort of. Though he wouldn’t admit it out loud, he had kind of liked it when she’d called him Prince Charming. It made him feel like he’d done something important. Well, he supposed saving her from bleeding out in the woods [i]had[/i] been important, but it was still nice to be acknowledged out loud.

Walking through the hall that led to the home theater, he glanced at her again when she answered his question about what kind of movie they should watch. Apparently she was a fan of action too. He was excited about that, since it was his favorite genre. At least he could be sure he wouldn’t be settling for a rom com or something else that wouldn’t interest him very much. Maybe he could even put on one of the movies he liked best, so he could share it with her.

When she added that she wanted to watch something with comedy too, he wasn’t surprised in the least. Throughout their banter, he’d noticed that she was fond of humor. She probably liked films with a lot of wit. Already, he was thinking of a few different ones that would check both of her boxes. Something with great fight scenes and clever one-liners from the hero. It wouldn’t be hard to find a movie she would like that had all of that. They were pretty popular among high borns in general.

[color=#b97703]“I’ve got some ideas already,”[/color] he smiled eagerly, looking forward to spending the rest of the afternoon with her. As they stepped into the theater, he snuck a glance at her face to see her reaction. It didn’t disappoint. The excitement on her face lit up the room as always, and he couldn’t wait to get a movie started, so she could see how much better it was when the lights went out.

[color=#b97703]“You’d better,”[/color] he teased when she said she would have to give it five stars. [color=#b97703]“Anything less than that would be heresy.”[/color] Following her over to the chairs in the front row, he watched her touch the material and sit down. At her joke, he laughed, [color=#b97703]“Well then I guess I’d better put on something that will be entertaining enough to keep you awake.”[/color]

With her permission to pick anything, he headed up the stairs on the edge of the room to the projector, where there were also cases of movie disks. He already knew which one he wanted to show her, so it didn’t take long for him to find it among the alphabetized collection and set it up to play. Once that was done, he headed back down to sit in the seat that she had patted while the screen came to life before them.

[color=#b97703]“I’ve seen this one before, so you can talk if you want to,”[/color] he shrugged in response to her question. [color=#b97703]“Oh, and by the way, these chairs are all recliners.”[/color] Reaching over to a button on her seat, he demonstrated that the leg and backrests could be raised and lowered to whatever incline she wanted. He pressed the button on his too, setting it up so that he was leaning back comfortably with his feet up.

[color=#b97703]“You said you like action and comedy, so I chose a spy movie for us,”[/color] he said, turning to her with a grin. [color=#b97703]“It’s got plenty of both, so I think you’re gonna love it.”[/color]
