Title: Movie Night<\/span><\/p>\n

Author: Gil Grissom<\/span><\/p>\n

Pairing: Dom\/Brian (background), Brian\/Han<\/span><\/p>\n

Rating: PG-13<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary: Dom is off doing his own thing, so Brian and Han cuddle up for a movie night. It doesn\u2019t quite go as planned, but when does anything ever?<\/span><\/p>\n

Timeline: Mid-2000s-ish<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, if you keep scowling like the entire world is against you, your face is going to freeze like that.\u201d Brian grinned when Dom looked up from packing his duffle bag and glared at him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how I got roped into this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause in spite of looking like a complete hardass on the outside, inwardly you\u2019re a total marshmallow,\u201d Brian told him. \u201cLook, it\u2019s only a few days in Mexico City. You escort Marco and Ramon there, get them all settled in, make sure there\u2019s nothing weird going on around their place, and then come home. And when you get home, make a point to learn how not to give in to the puppy eyes of doom, and maybe you won\u2019t get anymore college-bound Chosen asking you to help them move because you\u2019re their favorite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Han, who was sitting out on the balcony just outside the open doors, said, \u201cHe\u2019s been their favorite since they were infants. He\u2019s like the Ramirez family baby whisperer. Every single one of their eight kids has adored him since infancy, no matter how grumpy he was. It\u2019s baffling since he\u2019s kind of an asshole.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhich means you\u2019re probably going to be doing this six more times, because all of those kids are as determined to get into a university as much as their parents are to get them there, possibly even more.\u201d Brian shrugged when Dom released a long-suffering sigh. \u201cAt least it\u2019s Mexico City and not New York or England?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dom pointed at him and glared again. \u201cYou\u2019re not allowed to give them any ideas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian rolled his eyes and flopped back on the bed. \u201cYou\u2019ll be just fine and you\u2019ll have fun. You know it. You\u2019re just annoyed because we\u2019re not going with you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou could,\u201d Dom said, looking at both him and Han hopefully. \u201cIt\u2019s not like there isn\u2019t room for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Han laughed. \u201cNope. They made it clear that it was a them and you bonding thing, no Mates or side pieces allowed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dom sighed as he finished shoving the last of his items into his bag. \u201cI think I got cheated on the best friend and Mate front. I want a refund.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSorry, you break it, you buy it, and you definitely broke both of us at one point or another,\u201d Han said. \u201cNow go away. You need to be out the door in the next ten minutes, or they\u2019re going to come in search of you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking the Clan\u2019s plane. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s going to take off without us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, you tell it to those two,\u201d Han replied, laughing. \u201cThey are the most anal-retentive of the entire Ramirez lot when it comes to getting where they need to be on time. Make them anxious early and you\u2019re going to regret it the entire flight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cProbably.\u201d Dom sighed heavily. \u201cWhat are you two going to get up to while I\u2019m gone?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, as soon as you leave we\u2019re going to get ourselves situated for a movie night to watch all those things you bitch about us wanting to watch when you\u2019re around,\u201d Brian said. \u201cIn here, because I don\u2019t want the color commentary I often get with the rest of the assholes who crash our night if we\u2019re downstairs. In fact, we\u2019re going to spend the entire time you\u2019re gone watching all the movies you complain about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood, then maybe you\u2019ll quit whining because I don\u2019t want to watch some dumbass thing you\u2019re determined to torture me with.\u201d He leaned down and kissed Brian. Then he walked onto the balcony and did the same to Han. \u201cHan, you\u2019re in charge of him. Do not let him get up to anything idiotic while I\u2019m gone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou say that like he actually lets me be the boss of him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnly in bed!\u201d Brian called out, laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dom pointed at Han. \u201cNo dangerous shenanigans for him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am an adult, and I can take care of myself! I\u2019m not going to get into trouble, especially not here in the house and no plans to leave the property,\u201d Brian protested from the bed, not bothering to get up since he was so comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe literally had to regrow your arm, Brian, so I don\u2019t think you can ever lay claim to that statement,\u201d Dom pointed out as he walked back in, Han following him and closing the balcony door.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere were extenuating circumstances when that happened, and they aren\u2019t likely to happen again ever.\u201d Brian blew a raspberry at him. \u201cGo find Thing One and Thing Two and let them drive you further into insanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dom rolled his eyes but looked down at him fondly. \u201cFine. I\u2019ll be back in three days max. Anything more and you may have to come to bail me out of jail.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian laughed and waved him off. When he was gone, he looked at Han, who had flopped down next to him. \u201cWhat marathon are we starting with?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTonight we should do all the big monster movies, and then tomorrow we can do the horror movies that he hates.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd whatever we don\u2019t fit in, we can do the next day,\u201d Brian said with a nod. \u201cYou raid the movie shelves, and I\u2019ll raid the kitchen?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeal. Missouri will give you better snacks. She\u2019s immune to my charms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian laughed as he got up and they headed out, splitting up downstairs. There was no one in the kitchen so Brian simply grabbed one of the baskets near the snack pantries and filled it up with things they both liked, including a big bag of kettle corn that was freshly popped and bagged every few days. It never lasted long enough to get stale since many in the Clan were popcorn fiends, so he was just happy there was a fresh batch. After grabbing some drinks, he headed back upstairs to find Han slipping a DVD into the player.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we starting with?\u201d Brian asked as he sorted a few of their snacks on the nightstands and the bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe original <\/span>King Kong<\/span><\/i>. Duh,\u201d Han said as he dropped the remotes onto the bed and then went into the closest. He returned a few minutes later in one of Dom\u2019s tanks and a pair of Brian\u2019s pajama pants.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brian followed suit and came back out in a tank and a pair of shorts and climbed onto the bed next to him. \u201cI locked the doors so we\u2019d at least have some prior warning to an invasion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Han laughed. \u201cYeah, good idea, though right most everyone is off doing whatever it is they\u2019re doing today. It\u2019s more likely they\u2019ll bother us in the evening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian let Han manhandle him into the position he wanted Brian since Han liked to be the big spoon when the two of them cuddled up together. They made it through three movies and were onto one of the King Kong remake movies, laying across the bed horizontally rather than toward the headboard, when Han\u2019s hand slipped into Brian\u2019s shorts and his fingers started brushing through his pubic hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Brian turned so he was on his back and looked up at Han, amused. \u201cYou getting fresh with me, Lue?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe a little, O\u2019Conner,\u201d Han said, leaning down to kiss him while his hand slid further down and gripped his cock lightly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian spread his legs a little further and then froze, pulling away from the kiss. \u201cDid you hear something?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Han sat up, slipping his hand out from under Brian\u2019s shorts, and tilted his head. Then he rolled his eyes. \u201cSomeone\u2019s picking the damn lock on the front suite door.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian laughed silently and climbed to the head of the bed, knowing they weren\u2019t going to get any time to finish what Han was trying to start, at least not then. Whoever was picking the lock was someone who would be more than happy to stick around and watch, and he wasn\u2019t in the mood to put on a show for the masses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He patted the place next to him and Han huffed but joined him, slinging an arm around Brian\u2019s shoulders and giving Brian\u2019s cock a little pat. \u201cLater,\u201d Han promised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They <\/span>could <\/span><\/i>have made it easier for whoever was invading their territory by unlocking the bedroom doors at least, but what would have been the fun in that, so they sat and waited the few minutes it took them to unlock the door. They both turned unimpressed glares on David and Daniel when they came half-tumbling in, both looking windswept and highly appealing in their barely-there bathing suits.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhatcha doing?\u201d David asked as he draped himself carelessly over Han and Brian\u2019s laps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian popped him on the ass lightly, laughing when he whined a little, before resting his hand there. \u201cWatching movies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOoh, King Kong,\u201d Daniel said, lifting David\u2019s legs so he could slide in next to Brian and cuddle up against him.<\/span><\/p>\n

He heard a sigh from the doorway and he looked over to find Jason and James standing there, watching them with exasperation. \u201cWe tried to keep them from invading,\u201d Jason told them, looking only mildly apologetic and mostly amused.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey weren\u2019t having any of it,\u201d James added. \u201cI think they\u2019ve got an unhealthy attachment to you guys.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis whole clan is nuttier than a pecan pie,\u201d Daniel said, sliding his hand around Brian\u2019s back and getting more comfortable. \u201cNothing about us is healthy. Seriously, Red is going to snap one of these days, and we\u2019ll never see it coming.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToo much crazy for one man,\u201d David murmured as he grabbed a pillow and tucked it under his head before turning to look at the television. \u201cOoh, King Kong!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel poked David on the ass. \u201cI just said that a minute ago, dumbass.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I wasn\u2019t listening. I was hoping Brian would give me a good spanking but he\u2019s stingy with his affections.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJesus Christ,\u201d James said, shaking his head. \u201cI\u2019m heading down for some drinks. Anyone want anything?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust bring up a whole pitcher of something and some glasses,\u201d David called out while Jason shrugged and climbed onto the bed between Brian\u2019s legs, resting his head on David as he got comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few minutes later, Mia walked in. \u201cI thought I heard a commotion in here. Movie night gone awry?\u201d she asked them, amused.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d Han said, motioning to the bed. \u201cFind a spot and join us.\u201d Han looked at Brian. \u201cIt\u2019s a good thing this is a steel-framed bed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s because the last time we had a devolved movie night, we broke the damn bed,\u201d Brian reminded him, laughing and then rolling his eyes when he was hushed by several people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ten minutes later, James reappeared followed by their normal group of assholes, bringing several pitchers of \u2018something\u2019 and more snacks. From down in the kitchen, Brian could hear Missouri yelling up at them about not making a damn mess, and Brian laughed to himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Movie night hadn\u2019t gone as he\u2019d planned, but he really wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
