Places (A Thomas Brodie-Sangster Fanfiction)

Movie Marathon

Natalia's POV

I wake up. Sunday. Yay! I run to Thomas' room.

"Wake up!"

"No! You'll wake the Hulk!"

"I can beat you up! Don't test me." He gets out of bed.

"What do you want?"

"We are having a home movie marathon."

"Yes ma'am. Wait, you don't go to church?"

"Nope." I pop the 'p'.

"Okay. Let's watch some movies."

"You make breakfast, I will pick out movies."

"Go!" We run downstairs. I pick out The Maze Runner, Guardians of the Galaxy, Pacific Rim,The Avengers, Into the Storm, Iron Man (the first and second), and Unfriended.

"Thomas! I thought Unfriended was only in theaters."

"It is. But one of Dylan's friends is in it. So he gave me that."

"Dylan O'Brien?"

"Yeah."

"Sweet! I've been wanting to see it."

"Here." He hands me a plate of waffles.

"Yum. Which one first?"

"How about... Guardians of the Galaxy."

"Here you go." I hand him the DVD case. He pops it in the player and the movie starts. I sing along to the opening song.

Time to mess with Thomas.

"Chris Pratt is pretty hot."

"What?"

"Well, he's a dork in this movie and owns it. And look at those muscles!"

"Whatever. Let's just watch the movie." I do as he says. He looks grumpy.

"You know I was trying to mess with you, see how you react. Don't get upset."

"Okay." His ears turn pink.

The movie ends. "Next up, Iron Man!"

"Alright." He puts the DVD in the player. He sits back and I scoot close to him.

"Muffin top."

"What? Oh God." He still didn't have a shirt on.

"It's fine. I mean, this is your house."

"Uh, okay." I lay my head on his shoulder. His heart starts beating faster and he smiles.

"Uh, Thomas, are you alright? Your heart is beating kinda fast."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

I smile. "How are you not cold?"

"You're right next to me. But I am chilly." He scoots closer to me and lays his head on mine.

"Why is it so cold? It's only the beginning of September?"

"Not sure. Here." He takes my hands and makes it so my arms wrap around his bare torso.

I give him a funny look. "You're weird." But I don't move my arms.

We keep watching the Iron Man movies.

"Next, Into the Storm and lunch!"

I start singing. "Peanut butter jelly time!"

He looks at me funny.

"It's an American thing. Now go make sandwiches." He goes into the kitchen. I put the DVD in the player and Thomas comes back with two PB&J's.

"Starting without me?"

"No." He hands me a sandwich. "Thanks. Let's get it started."

After Into the Storm, we watch Pacific Rim, then The Maze Runner, and the Avengers. Lastly... Unfriended.

"Leftover pizza?"

Thomas' POV

"Perfect. Then..?"

"What am I gonna wear to that interview?"

"Natalia, what are you talking about?"

"I don't own a single dress."

"We'll have to change that."

"Noooooo! More shopping!"

"Let's just eat our pizza." I go into the kitchen with Natalia right behind. I grab some pizza out of the fridge and pop it in the microwave.

"Wait! I want mine cold."

"Crazy girl."

"Don't knock it 'till you try it."

"Not trying it." After that we eat in silence.

"Well, it's eight thirty before my first day of school. I'm goin' to bed."

"At eight thirty?"

"I take forever to fall asleep."

"Okay." I go to the instrument room and pick up my bass. She's in her room, she won't hear. I start to play 'Soul Sister' by Train.

Then I hear crashing footsteps.

"I love this song. It's my favorite!" She sings along. "Your lipstick stains, on the front lobe of my left side brains."

She's fantastically brilliant.

"Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair you know. Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do, tonight."

I clap. "Bravo! Encore! You really are wonderful."

She blushes and tries to hide it. "Thanks."

"Don't hide your blush. It's ador-"

"Goodnight Thomas."

"Goodnight Natalia." She shivers. This is the warmest room in the house though.

Nah.

I smile.
