Hotaru jumped when she felt the other hand in the popcorn bowl. "I-I'm sorry..." she muttered sheepishly, she didn't know whether to let go however. She felt so stupid, acting like a shy little school girl. She didn't even know why.

Archer cleared his throat and smiled sheepishly. "Ummm I-it's alright. Y-you can have the rest of it. I can put another bag on." he said stuttering slightly which just made him feel like a moron. He slowly let go of her hand and pulled it back unwillingly. He left it sitting on the edge of the bowl waiting until Hotaru finished off what she wanted so he could take it and make a new bag. The people in the movie screamed which made him jump slightly. "Shit." he muttered trying to catch his breath.

Hotaru jumped the same time he jumped, laughing soon after. She looked over at Archer, still giggling a little from the shock. "A-are you alright?" she asked him. The bowl had fallen onto the floor from their sudden movement, leaving popcorn on the ground.
"Oh! I'll get it!" she said, jumping off the couch to pick up the popcorn bits from the floor. "Stupid popcorn..." she murmured to herself as she cleaned it all up.

Archer laughed along with her and helped clean up the popcorn that had fallen on the couch. "Don't worry about it. We'll get the broom and get it all up. You wanna put another bag in the microwave? I'll get the broom." he offered with a smile. He stood up with the popcorn bowl and held his hand out to help Hotaru up.

Hotaru took his hand and stood back up. "Yeah, okay." she said. She made her way into the kitchen, pulling another bag of popcorn out of their box. She walked over to the microwave and stuck it inside and set the time for it to cook. She leaned over the counter beside the microwave and watched it go for a little while, having nothing else to do for the moment. She sighed, what was she doing? She just needed to calm down and relax. Maybe the movie choice wasn't exactly the best right now.

Archer set the bowl beside the microwave then went and grabbed the broom. He finished cleaning up the popcorn off the floor and couch quickly then put the broom and dustpan away. While he was in the pantry he took a moment to calm himself and catch his raging hormones. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. His eyes caught a bag on the shelf and he smiled grabbing it. He walked back Ito the kitchen and shook the bag in front of Hotaru. "Ever had M&Ms in your popcorn?" he asked leaning against the microwave smiling.

Hotaru looked over at Archer when he shook the bag. She laughed a little, "Nope, I don't think I have." she replied, looking at the microwave again. It beeped when the time went up and she took the bag out. She looked back at Archer as she opened the bag and poured the popcorn into the bowl. "It's good I'm guessing?" she asked, raising a brow at him with a grin.

Archer chuckled and nodded. "Yes ma'am! Why I even heard that in some countries it's a delicacy. Everyone's always ordering popcorn and M&Ms." He said with a wink and grin. He poured a good amount of the candy into the bowl and sat the rest on the microwave. He smiled and took the bowl from Hotaru then shook it up. "Now let's get back to the movie." he said cheerily holding out his arm for the red head.

Hotaru laughed and blushed a little, linking her arm with his as they walked out of the kitchen and back in the living room. By this time the movie had just a little time left before it was over. The redhead laughed a little, the movie was almost done yet she was pretty sure the two of them had hardly paid any attention to it. She sat back on the couch with Archer. "Well, let's see how great this popcorn and candy taste together." she laughed cheerfully.

Archer laughed and held out the bowl to Hotaru. "Ladies first." he replied with a large smile. "It may get a tad bit messy with the melted chocolate. I can get some paper towels if you need them, I usually just lick my fingers." he added with a shrug. It wasn't so tense between the two anymore now that they had gotten a moment to themselves to cool off.

Hotaru took a small handful of the mixed snack and tossed it in her mouth. She chewed for a moment or two before nodding her head happily. After swallowing she looked back at him. "Wow, that is pretty good." she smiled. She turned back to the movie to see that the ending credits had started. "Well, look at that, I don't even remember half of the movie." she laughed, giving a fake pout at the screen.

Archer laughed and nodded. "What did I tell ya? Chocolaty, salty, and buttery! Best combo yet! It's a wonder they havent actually made chocolate covered popcorn. I bet it would sell like hot cakes!" he exclaimed as he munched on the snack. He laughed looking at the TV. "I'd have to say I don't either." He said laughing at her expression. "What do you wanna do now?" he asked continuing to eat the chocolate popcorn combo.

She shrugged. "Dunno." she said, reaching for another handful of choclatey popcorn. "I really just like spending time with you." she said quietly. She had pretty much blocked out the odd feeling in her head for now, it was kind of hard but she was able to push them away from her for the moment. She really did enjoy hanging out with Archer, he'd been so kind to her all day, between hanging out with her and helping her fill in the blanks in her memories, he was really sweet.

Archer smiled widely. "Well I'm glad you like spending time with me... I really like spending time with you too." he replied his cheeks heating up unwillingly. Although he knew she was only like this because of this morning, he was still enjoying the time he had with her. Being able to just let loose and relax was nice for a change. "Well how about we turn on the tv to some random channel and find something to cook for dinner? I'd like to think I'm a pretty good cook." he said eating more of the popcorn.

Hotaru blushed a little and nodded. "That sounds good to me." she agreed. She thought for a moment, then decided to hug him real quick. Friends can hug, at least she thought so. She didn't see anything wrong with it... Sorta.
