Archer smiled and spun back around to the DVD player. "Yes ma'am!" he exclaimed happily as he placed the DVD in the player. He started to go sit on the couch then realized he was still in his bathing suit. "I'll be right back, gonna put on some normal shorts. Don't wanna get the couch wet." he winked and dashed up the stairs to change.

Hotaru smiled and nodded. "Okay." she said, keeping her seat as he went off. She sat patiently, beginning to play woth her hair a little. Something about this just seemed a little bit surreal to her, but, once again she quickly disregarded it. Maybe later tonight when she was by herself she could try thinking about it herself. She shrugged a little, messing with her hair a little more as she waited for Archer to return.

Archer quickly changed and was back downstairs. He slid against the wood floors in his socks until he hit the couch and flipped over it landing beside Hotaru with a bounce. "I'm really glad that worked." he replied laughing as he grabbed the remote and hit the play button. He lounged back against the couch and stretched out his arm behind Hotaru instinctively. He wasn't really trying to cozy up to her, it was how he usually sat. He pressed a few buttons on the remote and it turned out the lights and shut the blinds. "There we go." he muttered to himself as he kicked his feet up on the coffee table.

The redhead was a bit shocked by Archer's entrance, but she just smiled anyway. She got ready to watch the movie as the lights went out, trying her best to sit still. With Archer so close to her she didn't want him to think she was trying to lay on him or something. They were just friends after all, just friends.

The movie was just starting when Archer realized he was missing the popcorn. "The popcorn!" he exclaimed sitting up. "I'll be right back." he said smiling and getting up from the couch. He slid into the kitchen on his socks and pulled out a large bowl. He grabbed the popcorn out of the microwave and poured it into the bowl.
The Kuma walked back into the livingroom and sat the bowl on Hotaru's lap then plopped back down beside her. He grabbed the bottles of Dr. Pepper off the table and handed one to Hotaru. He took the bowl back and stuck it between the two of them. "I hope you like Dr. Pepper." he said with a smile as he put his arm back around the couch and his feet back on the table.

Hotaru took the soda, pausing for a moment as if she didn't know if she actually liked it or not. She laughed and nodded her head a quick second later. "Yeah, yeah 'course I like it." she said, taking a little popcorn and throwing it in her mouth. "Okay, now we watch the movie." she said, sitting back in the couch once again.

Archer chuckled and nodded. "I agree." he replied as he grabbed some popcorn and chomped down on it. The movie continued to play but Archer's interest wasn't really on the movie. His attention was diverted between the screen and the red head beside him. Whether or not she was practically brainwashed, he still liked her a lot. It was much easier having her like this so she wouldn't have to fight her over things like the kids or something as simple as watching a movie. He was serious when he told her he wouldn't push her into anything, he wasn't the type of guy to do that. Sure he killed people here and there but he wasn't a rapist or something like that. Without seeming to realize it, his whole attention was on Hotaru and a smile played on his lips.

Hotaru was having trouble watching the movie for the most part, she could feel his eyes on her. She tried keeping her eyes on the screen for a while, acting like she didn't notice him, but after a while she couldn't really keep it up. She turned her head over, looking at him timidly. "I-is there something wrong...?" she asked him hesitantly.

Archer shook his head to lose the lock his eyes had on her. He rubbed the back of his head nervously and smiled awkwardly. "No sorry. I just got- uh distracted." he replied, his face uncharacteristically heating up. He looked back at the TV trying not to look over at Hotaru again. He seriously had an issue if he couldn't keep his eyes off of her for one good movie.

Hotaru blushed a little and turned back to the movie. "Okay then..." she muttered to herself. She tried keeping her eyes on the screen again, glancing at Archer maybe once or twice to see if he was looking at her again. After about the second time she practically forced herself to stay looking at the movie to keep from further embarrassing herself too much. It seemed like a really good one, the parts that she had paid attention to at least.

A little over halfway through the movie Archer's attention started to divert back to Hotaru. He internally cursed himself for it. He was acting like a lovesick teenager and he really couldn't help himself. He turned his attention away from both the movie and the girl beside him by finishing off his drink. "I'm um going to get something else to drink... do you want anything?" he asked waving his empty bottle with an awkward smile.

Hotaru quickly shook her head. "No thanks, I'm good." she insisted, bringing her attention back to the movie. She pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs as she watched the movie. She found it a little easier without Archer beside her, so she was able to pay attention a little better. She took a deep breath, she was being ridiculous she knew she was. Just breathe, there's nothing wrong, just two friends hanging out, right? Right, that's all, so there was nothing to get so worked up over.

Archer took his time when he got to the kitchen. He threw away his bottle and got a new one out. He leaned against the sink and shook his head. "What's wrong with me?" he muttered to himself as he turned on the sink and splashed the water in his face. He let his head hang as the water dripped off his face. Never had he been so enamored with one person. Especially not one in this situation. He really needed to gain his bearings if he was planning on keeping her with them longer. He couldn't turn into a love sick fool for a girl he'd practically brainwashed.
Archer sighed and turned the water off. He dried his face and grabbed his drink then made his way back to the living-room. He smiled and sat back down, leaving the near empty popcorn bowl between the two. A little space would be good. He turned his attention back to the movie, his leg bouncing against the floor to keep him from staring at the girl beside him.

Hotaru's eyes shifted to Archer for a small second when he sat back on the couch, quickly bringing them back to the movie. She wrapped her arms around her legs a little tighter, biting her lip to keep her eyes away from the Kuma. She reached into the bowl of popcorn to try and get some more. She didn't want to look into the bowl for fear that she would look over at Archer again, so she kept trying to search for the little snack without looking.

Archer tried to reach into the bowl and grab some popcorn while still looking at the movie. His hand started to fish around in the bowl until his hand grabbed something that wasn't popcorn. He froze and looked down into the bowl. His hand had found Hotaru's who was also grabbing for the popcorn. He didn't know whether to let go or what. He had never been struck dumb by accidentally touching a girl's hand, not by a girl, ever.
