Let's All Go To The Movies

[fierybluebird]

Who: Marco and Grell and anyone else who wants to join in/have a separate thread.
Where: In town, because Marco and Grell can both cheat to get there quickly and back XD
What: Watching a chocobo "movie" (or whatever you want to call it.) They might settle for a play, or races
Why: Because Marco's got nightmares and Grell is crazy.
Rating: Spoiler warnings for Marco just because, PROBABLY PG-13, I'll move up if something happens. (It's Grell and a pirate.)
OPEN! Just pop in and bring your own popcorn. Or steal some of Marco's. Whichever.



Really, to be fair, Marco didn't give a damn what Grell wore. He was a pirate after all. Half of the time, he just looked for excuses around campus to undo the buttons on his own shirt. And whether Grell was in the mood for skirts, pants, or a dress, it still didn't faze Marco. It was still going to be Grell underneath it all. The same cute red-head who'd just abruptly tried to kill him moments earlier and then in true kitten fashion was back to purring happily. Ah, romance on the high seas. Or the Garden. Whichever. "You ready?" the blond pirate asked hopefully for the tenth time.

Comments

[redcinemareel]

Grell giggled softly at the tickle before he heard that little comment. There was an angry pout at that. He saw how fast Marco moved to the door.

"Don't say things like that!" Grell gave Marco a look as he made his way out the door. It faded into a smile with a wink. "You simply can't rush beauty."

[fierybluebird]

"Aha, of course," Marco bent down and kissed Grell's cheek soothingly. "My mistake. I simply figured you were so beautiful naturally, that it just came easily to you." He gave Grell another light-hearted grin as he shut the door behind them.

[redcinemareel]

Such a sweetheart! Grell is not letting go of this one! He latches onto Marco's arm with a smile, completely agreeing with his statement. "There isn't a reason to not work on perfecting it, though."

Plays with a few locks of pineapplely hair with a playful grin. "Ready?"

[fierybluebird]

"Absolutely," Marco grinned and gave his arm a little easily. "Just tell me where to get walking. Unless you're planning on cheating the distance of course."

[redcinemareel]

"Oh, I intend to cheat. These shoes aren't made for long distances." They were indeed made for being cute in and the occasional stroll.

[fierybluebird]

"Are they good for flying?" Marco deadpanned.

[redcinemareel]

"No, but they are good for cutting down trees." Grell grinned at his own joke before teleporting them into town, right on a dark street corner. He'd prefer if there instant presence went unnoticed, but he didn't really care.

"Let's go this way!" Grell pointed towards an area that was well lit. He'd been around here before, and the theater wasn't too far.

[fierybluebird]

"As you wish," Marco ambled along quickly, facial expressions as unchanged and deadpan as ever despite being teleported into the town. "You come down here often?" He glanced around, making mental road maps for himself and trying to mark down any bars.

[redcinemareel]

"I came here just last week, and the week before that..." Grell hummed while walking, slightly distracted by the signs and still an extra accessory to Marco's arm.


"Come to think about it, I've been here every week." Grell turned to Marco with a grin. "Have somewhere you want to go?"

[fierybluebird]

"Nothing in mind," Marco answered easily. "Just taking it all in," he added with a grin. "Got any favorite stops?"

[redcinemareel]

Grell looked around before pointing across the street. "That is a nice shop that has pretty good tea and cake. And next to that bar there is a nice clothing shop. They have clothes that aren't so...Balamb-esque." Really, the clothing around here seemed so stiff!

[fierybluebird]

"All dresses?" Marco arched an eyebrow. He really preferred something in the way of pirate pants and sashes. "Yeah, tea and cake huh?"

[redcinemareel]

"They had clothing for men too, and I sometimes go there. Cake doesn't help keep a good figure..." Grell paused in his stride and grinned brightly to Marco with the best idea.

"I could take you shopping~!" It would be fun, and he's get a chance to undress Marco. Not like he needs an excuse, but it wouldn't hurt to have one.

[fierybluebird]

Marco blinked, but Grell looked so enthused with the idea, he couldn't possibly say no. "Well, if you want, eh. Although from what I can see, you're doing a great job with your figure. So I think I can trust your clothing judgement."

[redcinemareel]

"Really?! Oh, this will be great!" Grell stood back a bit, one arm crossed while the other tapped against his chin, and nodded every other moment as he was measuring up Marco's physique. "Broad shoulders, nice build, and stoic features...yes, I'll definitely be able to find something~."

Grell looked to the right and smiled. "Ah, the theater is just over there." Tugs on Marco's hand again and walks towards it.

[fierybluebird]

A small thrill ran down Marco's spine, but then he was being tugged over to the theater and looking over the list of what was being shown until he found the chocobo movie Grell had mentioned. "Looks like it's still playing, eh?'

[redcinemareel]

Grell was looking at the sign and nodded. "We're lucky!" He went over to the ticket booth to check the prices. "They don't seem that bad." Of course he would know prices.

And then the question of how to pay loomed. Grell looked to Marco with curiosity. "Are you paying or shall we pay for our own tickets?" A perfectly logical question.

[fierybluebird]

"I'll buy this time," Marco muttered, quickly buying the tickets. He was going to have to look into doing some the jobs allowed for cadets; if there were any. Luckily, it was an advantage to a diamond sponsorship even if it meant he intended to pay it back tenfold.

[redcinemareel]

Grell gave him a beaming smile. "Thank you, dearest~! I'll get refreshments."

[fierybluebird]

Marco grinned and ruffled Grell's hair, making sure not to mess it up. "Thanks, hon," he beamed. "Such a doll."

[redcinemareel]

"I am," Grell winked. See? He knew a way to a man's heart, besides being gorgeous. Food was just as important. "Just lead the way and leave the rest to me~."

[fierybluebird]

And as was often the saying: pirates are always hungry. Marco led on, over by the concession stand, "Want me to grab us some seats?" There was about fifteen minutes until it started, but he liked to see what they had extra.

[redcinemareel]

"Yes, thank you. I'll be there soon." Grell looked at the selection for a bit before deciding some food for them both. He wasn't sure about how much Marco could eat, but if he was like most males, it would be best to get lots of food.

So he ordered two of those 'hot dogs', chocolate covered raisins, soda, juice (for Grell), and a large popcorn for them both. The staff at the counter hoped it wasn't all for the petite lady.

[fierybluebird]

He waved for Grell as the red-head came up and arched an eyebrow, "I hope you're hungry," he chucked softly. "I'm not part D, you know." He kissed Grell's cheek in thank-you anyway, giving him his seat and scooting over. "Thanks," he grinned cheerfully, popping a few of the chocolate covered raisins in his mouth.

[redcinemareel]

"Part...what?" Grell sat down after handing over most of the food. "I wasn't sure~! Besides, we won't need to get up for anything, right?" He took a sip of the pineapple juice while looking around the theater. It looked much like a stage theater, except with a large screen in front.

The lights began to dim, and Grell settled in next to Marco with anticipation.
