He watches, amused, as Axel scrambles and jumps onto the couch next to him. He shakes his head a little, "It's still really weird for me that you know all these movies I've never even heard of." He's used to being That Guy in a room full of people. It's kind of weird being on the other side of that equation, okay?
"Okay, next time, you can bring something and we'll watch whatever you want." He just won't point out that he isn't that great with horror movies.
"I only watch certain films, I know of a lot of them but I can't be bothered most of the time to sit down and watch a film unless it'll grab me." Axel had a lot of trouble sitting still and focusing, he was always moving, fidgeting, bouncing around. To stop and do anything, it was hard. It made him feel uncomfortable, he liked to be doing, not sitting.
"Can you take my kind of movies, cutie? They're kind of creepy. Are you good with horror?"
"I guess I always used them as an escape, kinda." Into a world where even a normal kid could grow up and be a hero. Funny how his life has turned out, all things considered. Not that Cisco would call himself a hero, because he doesn't see himself that way.
He scrunches his nose a little and tilts his head to look at him. "Am I that transparent?"
"I can always tell someone who isn't a horror person, it's the way they look when I suggest it." He reached out and patted Cisco's face a few times, soft and playful. "It's okay, I'll protect you from the scary stuff and I'll cover your eyes when people start to die horribly."
Axel reached out, took the bowl of popcorn from Cisco's lap and set it onto the coffee table. Then he proceeded to lie down, head in Cisco's lap, moving Cisco's hand to manually on top of his head. What? He knew what he wanted and he wanted to get it. "I brought you a present but you have to earn it first."
So...yes. He chuckles a little and pulls away at the cheek pat, more amused by it than anything else. "Promise?" He asks, an entertained lilt to his voice, even if he was kind of maybe a little serious.
He blinks at the sudden, very decisive series of actions, but once Axel's settled in his lap, he just shakes his head, playfully rolls his eyes and complies with the wordless request, carding his fingers through the others' hair. "Oh yeah? Well, now I'm curious."
"I felt like giving you something nice. I don't often feel like that and when I do, I usually get something I like too cause I want to enjoy myself as well. And you can't enjoy yourself if the present is boring." The thing with Axel is that he's selfish more than selfless and he likes to share things with people, be a part of it. And honestly, he doesn't usually get people stuff.
But he did like Cisco, he was such a nice guy. Nice, normal, a good person. It was daunting to crush on him, way out of his league really.
"Nothing wrong with knowing what you want." Sure, he could see the selfish tendencies in the whole thing, but it wasn't really horrible if what he wanted was something like having his hair played with. Hell, Cisco would have indulged that without any gift. It's one of the things he and Axel have in common, they're both affectionate, cuddly people.
He continues playing with Axel's hair, smiling softly. He's kind of abandoned the movie, watching Axel instead. Maybe he's tired, maybe he's falling into a sort of trance-like state because he's just comfortable here with him like this. But whatever it is, it lets his next words slip out, "I missed you... you were gone for awhile, there..."
"You missed me? Aww, Cisco, that's a dangerous mindset to have. No one should ever miss me." Axel slowly pulled himself up, leaning his elbows on Cisco's knees as he looked up at Cisco and studies his face. He was so beautiful. How could one guy be this damn good looking? And his hair, woah, his hair Stunning. "Miss your mom, miss the golden age of cinema, miss when the Simpsons were funny - don't miss me."
He leaned up and kissed him playfully on the cheek before springing up properly and clambering over to his bag, yanking it up into his lap. "Do you want your present?"
"Yeah, well, I did anyway." He challenges, perking a brow at him as Axel watches him. Cisco is clueless to anything going on in the other's mind, wouldn't dare think it was something about him at all, really.
He can't help the crinkle of his nose at the kiss on his cheek before he bounced away to grab his bag. Axel was always so incredibly full of energy, it was enough to make a person tired just watching him. "I am pretty curious."
