The Prince and his Guard

A relaxing evening.

I was in my room with Emil, who had taken up most of my bed and had his head in my lap so I could play with his hair while we watched a random movie on my laptop.
"I do not understand how they do not recognise him." Emil stated at the superhero movie.
"It was explained in the comics. He actually has the ability to hypnotise people, and the glasses he wears were created from the ship he came in, and the glasses just help hypnotise people into them not realising it's him."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"They should really just have a line or something to show that." He stated making me chuckle.
"They probably should."
About halfway through the film, Emil ended up not watching the film and just looked up at me. I didn't say anything due to this being a common thing of Emil just watching me. What did surprise me however was him beginning to play with my hair as well.
"What are you doing?" I asked looking down towards him.
"I am playing with your hair."
"I mean, why are you playing with my hair? You've never done that before."
"You always play with mine. So I thought I would play with yours." He admitted.
"I can lie my head in your lap if you want." I simply told making him quickly sit up.
"I didn't know that was an option." He told making me chuckle.
"You are peculiar sometimes Emil." I told making him smile as he got comfortable in his new position to then play with my hair.
"And yet, you laugh every time." He added before I laid my head in his lap and he began to play with my hair as we watched the movie.
'This is actually quite nice.'
