reunion [dd]

[Mordechai]

The killer smiled as his kennedy chattered away, she had so much energy and emotion, she could not keep it bottled up. He had never been a wordy person, and once again words were failing him. He could not find the ones needed to explain, so followed his usual course of action. He stopped talking about it. A smile lit his face as he turned to the young male at the concession stands in the middle of the lobby, kennedy at his side. "We will require a medium buttered popcorn, and a large cherry Coke." As the clerk turned to fulfill the order Mordechai bent down to examine the candy selection. He saw the Reese's pieces and skittles that she had requested, but the skittles came in three different varieties. Standing he started to ask which it was that she wanted, then decided to apply the principle of Occam's Razor. A low growl rumbled from his chest as the youngster's eyes swept appreciatively over kennedy when he returned with the order. Leaning forward Mordechai tapped the counter. "Suck in your tongue, and give me one of everything." Came out in a low snarl. Bi colored eyes closely watched as the now trembling clerk filled a bag and began tapping at the resister with shaky hands. "That will be $58.75". Mordechai dropped three twenties on the counter, then turned towards the rear of the building escorting his little allurist along side.

There was a lighted display showing the proper theater, but no line to get in, so the bag of candy stuffed into assorted pockets he held the popcorn and drink in one arm, as he used the other to trail fingers over kennedy's shoulder as they walked. Movies were no a thing with the killer, it had been so long since he had watched one in a cinema, he could not even remember the name. His eyes swept the seats of the empty room before smiling down at his love "Looks as though this will be a private screening, pick seats for us?"

[Kennedy]

Soft yet excited honey eyes darted around the lobby. There was so much to see and so much to distract her. Lights! Posters! Movie Trailers ongoing on several hanging televisions! A mini arcade! People...so many people. A smile beamed across her face as she watched each and every person that seemed to be either on a date or with a group of friends just having fun and relaxing for the evening. It almost made her feel warm and human inside. A bright chuckle slipped from her as she watched a pair of siblings dart around, shrieking with excitement about the Superhero movie they just finished watching, trying to mimic the actions but avoiding to get hurt at the same time. Kennedy's attention was instantly pulled away when she heard the tone in Mordechai's voice change. Looking up at him, she placed her hand on his arm and smiled. "We should go on dates more often so we can work on all this tension." Looking at the clerk behind the concessions stand as Mordechai paid him. Smiling as he shoved the dozens of candy packets into his pockets and took the soda and bag of popcorn. "Thank you very much and I hope you have a wonderful evening."

As they stepped away from the concession stand, he seemed to calm as his fingers trailed over her shoulders. Smirking as they walked, her head tilted up to look at him. "I think the more dates is a good idea. It will help you get used to people looking at us and maybe get all 'Grrr...argh.' I'm pretty and you're tall. People will look but we don't have to let it bother us. Hell...we don't even have to pay attention to it at all. We are just us and who cares about them and their thoughts." As they reached their respective theater, she lifted herself up on her tip toes and kissed him. "I love you." Giving him a playful wink, she turned and entered the room. Looking around at the empty room, they really did have their pick or seating. "Nothing wrong with a private screening." Walking down the isle to the middle row, evenly splitting the room, she moved across the seats until she found the seat that was the direct middle of the screen and sat down. She always hated sitting off to the side even by a little bit because she always felt that there was something that she might miss as she focused on what the camera wanted her to focus on. Kennedy knew that there was almost always something off to the side or in the background that would prove to be important later on and with sitting in the middle, she could get the whole perspective.

Mordechai followed close behind as kennedy picked what he was sure would prove to be the best seat in the house. While he knew nothing of motion pictures, he was sure his little allurist was an expert. Her enthusiasm was contagious, as he thought on how she had been crossing the lobby. She saw the world in color, everything was cause for excitement, and joy. He saw the world in black and white, some shades of grey. Everything was a target, a threat. and his life a constant assessment of these threats. Being with her though, brought a touch of color to his world.

It was true that the pair of them would always draw attention, and if he could not read the minds of the males that looked at her, perhaps it would not mean so much to him. The thought they had made him want to see how much a shot to the head would compress their spines. He just couldn't be as accepting as she was. The light kiss she had given him had sent chills down his spine that he still felt as he placed the drink in the holder between them, and set the popcorn on his thigh, with in easy reach of her. If she wanted more dates, he could sacrifice for her. He wasn't sure how much it would help his jealousy, versus how many times he would slip back and exterminate the ones that thought illicit thoughts about her, but he would try.

Settling back in his seat, he started slipping the assorted candies from his pockets and spreading out the assortment across their laps, handing the Reese's pieces to her after tearing the corner from the package. The trailers were starting as the lights dimmed. reaching over he placed one massive hand on her thigh and squeezed lightly. "I love you too" he whispered into her mind. With a final advertisement for the concession stand, the lights flickered and went darker, as the opening credits rolled.
