《airplanes(Thiam)》chapter 13: Attack of the clones

"Am I weird for wanting to punch him in the face?" Liam asked quietly. Theo laughed, low and husky.
"No." Theo mumbled, clearing his throat as he shifted on the bed. Liam's gaze flickered to him.
"Are you falling asleep?"
"No." Theo grumbled, even as his eyes blinked closed again.
"You're totally falling asleep."
"Shut up and watch the movie." Theo said, forcing his eyes open again. Liam snorted, turning back to the film. He couldn't blame Theo for being tired. They'd already watched two movies, up to 'Luke I am your father' before Theo insisted they went to the prequels before finishing the originals. It had been a long day already, adding five and a half hours of watching movies onto it and Liam was surprised that neither of them had just keeled over asleep yet.
"But seriously, the naked duck with ears is pissing me off."
"He's called Jar Jar Binks." Theo corrected. "And he's a Gungan, not a naked duck with ears and of course he's annoying, he's basically space Stiles." Liam let out an unattractive cackle of laughter at that.
"Dude that is so-Hey! Open your eyes! We're watching this for you."
"I drove like eight hours today. My eyes need a break."
"If your eyes have a break you'll fall asleep. Come on dude, you need to explain some things to me. Like why Mason's always saying Anakin's hot when he's apparently like three years old." Liam urged. Theo's eyes finally opened lips quirking in a sleepy smile.
"He a lot older in the next movie." Theo said, scrubbing a hand over his eyes. "Alright, Pause it." Theo sighed, hauling himself off of the bed. "Order some food. I'm gonna take a shower."
"I used all the hot water." Liam said sheepishly.
"Doesn't matter. I was planning on having a cold shower anyway."
"Cold shower? Is there something you want to tell me about your relationship with Jar Jar Binks."
"What can I say, the naked duck with ears really gets me going." Theo hummed, stumbling towards the bathroom.
"Theo, if you really need to sleep then we can watch it tomorrow."
"I'll be fine after a shower." Theo said. "Get us some food."

Forty-five minutes later and the two were back to sitting on Theo's bed, elbows knocking as they shoveled food into their mouths. The phantom menace still playing in the background. Theo's hair was damp from his shower, dripping slowly onto his shoulders making his shirt, and the bed wet, but he looked far more awake.

Liam wasn't ashamed to say he'd enjoyed listening to Theo's voice, high and squeaky, as he spat out curses and his heartbeat stuttered when he'd first stepped beneath the cold spray. The only thing he was ashamed about with the situation was that he hadn't had his phone handy so he couldn't catch some of the dramatic yelps flowing from the bathroom.
"Deaton's Yoda." Liam garbled past the food. Theo hummed, head tilting from side to side.
"Or Lydia." He said thoughtfully. "Banshee powers, sensing a disturbance in the force. It's basically the same thing."
"She'd kill you for saying she was like a little green frog alien." Liam said, Theo shrugged, shoveling an ungodly amount of food into his mouth. Liam picked at a prawn cracker. Eyes shifting back to the screen as the action continued. "Alright okay. So Derek right, he's Pony tail-" Liam pointed his prawn cracked at the TV
"Do you mean Qui-gon Ginn?"
"Yeah quack-one gin." Liam agreed, Theo snorted out a laugh, noodles sprayed out of his mouth. "Gross." Theo wiped his chin, glaring at Liam as he fought to swallow the food still trapped in his mouth. "And Scott is Obi-Wan." Liam said. "Malia is totally Leia."
"Why is Malia Leia?"
"Right so she's hot-" Theo's face twisted in a scowl. "Oh come on, I know she hates you but that's no reason to say she's not gorgeous."
"Not really my type." Theo said, digging back into the food.
"Well she is and she's badass, like, she'd totally strangle the fat slug too. She's blunt, sassy and ready to fight everyone and despite looking like she couldn't fight a fly let alone an army you can bet your ass she'd be the one saving you in a fight."
"I guess I see it." Theo hummed, sounding like he'd rather not see it.
"Because I'm right." Liam said easily. "And then I'm-"
"Jabba the Hutt?" Theo suggested lightly.
"Okay, first of all, fuck you." Liam said making Theo grin. "And second of all, I'm obviously Han."
"You think you're like Han Solo?"
"Well yeah, he's the coolest obviously I'm Han."
"What traits do you share with Han?"
"I'm the hottest guy in most rooms?"
"Debatable." Theo huffed. "You're more like Anakin. Anger issues, titling to the dark side but your Obi-Wan brought you back out."
"I'm han."
"He's just your favourite isn't he?"
"Pretty much." Liam admitted.
"Fine. Then you're Han Solo." Theo said with a dramatic roll of his eyes. "And who am I?"

"Chewie." Liam said instantly. "You sounded like him in the shower."
"It was cold." Theo grumbled.
"That's usually the outcome when you have a cold shower." Liam said. Theo turned back to the TV ignoring Liam's comment.

The talking stopped during the revenge of the Sith. Liam wasn't entirely sure Theo actually breathed for the entire movie. He knew realistically Theo couldn't hold his breath for that long but he was completely silent, eyes locked on the screen, narrowed in concentration.
Liam couldn't really blame him, the dude had waited ten years to find out how exactly Anakin finished his descent to the dark side. He was pretty sure watching Theo's reaction to the movie was more entertaining than the actual film. The way his jaw would clench during the tense scene's or his eyes would widen as plot points came to life. Liam had to hold back a laugh when Theo had begun muttering under his breath when Anakin had succumbed to the dark side, furiously ripping into Anakin's character.
"Are you going to cry?" Liam mused when the credits began to roll. Theo scowled, blinking back the tears in his eyes.
"Of course not." Theo gruffed.
"You look like you're going to cry." Liam said, smug grin creeping onto his face. "Please cry over star wars. I will be able to die happy if I see you crying over star wars."
"Fuck you." Theo said lips pursing. Liam waited, watching as Theo glared back at the TV, he took a deep breath in. His finger tapping against the bedspread, once, twice. "It's just such bullshit!" Theo snapped, Liam held back a laugh at the vehement tone. "He just wanted to save the people he loved and the Jedi kept telling him he just couldn't love people, or feel. I mean his mother died and they're all 'don't mourn or you'll go dark side' what kind of teaching is that? hey I know you're in pain but suck it up you little bitch." Liam buried his face into the pillow cackling with laughter. "I'm serious! It's messed up. Of course, he was going to turn to the person who acknowledged it and- Liam stop laughing!" Liam snorted into the pillow as Theo whined.
"I can literally smell your anger." Liam said looking up to see Theo glaring stiffly at him.
"That's because I'm angry! They basically cemented his fate. They ostracised him and-" Liam watched as Theo continued to rant, hands waving and face twisted in anger.
"God you're adorable" Liam breathed. Theo paused, chest heaving from the long string of words his eyebrows climbing on his forehead as he froze in his rant, hands still poised mid-gesture. Liam's eyes widened as his brain caught up with his mouth.
"What did you say?" Theo asked. Liam blinked.
"I said you're deplorable." Liam covered. "Sitting here defending Anakin when he's literally Darth Vader."
"I'm pretty sure that's not what I heard." Theo mused, smug grin stretching across his face.
"It's exactly what I said, you should get your ears checked." Liam said stiffly.
"And you should remember I can hear when you lie."
"Theo-" Liam warned a small growl rolling from his throat.
"Fine, I'll drop it. but only because you think I'm ador-" Liam shoved Theo off of the bed before he could finish speaking. His head popped up again, chin propping on the edge of the mattress lips pulled into a small grin that did nothing to dispute Liam's 'adorable' claim. "You-"
"Put the stupid film in." Liam grumbled.
"Sure thing Pumpkin."
"I will punch you."
"And hurt my adorable fa-" Theo broke off with a muffled yelp, as Liam's fist connected with his face. "You-"
"I warned you." Liam said with a small shrug.
*
Theo fell asleep halfway through the last movie. Liam had tried to wake him up but all he received was a rumbling growl and a quick 'I've watched it before, leave me alone.' so he was left watching the last hour and a bit on his own, Theo's breathing quiet and steady next to him. Liam shuffled down the bed, propping his head up with pillows and watched it through sleep hazed eyes as the past day and a bit caught up with him leaving his limbs melting into the bed.
He'd said he wouldn't sleep in the piss bed another night, but by the time the movie was entering the final act Liam wasn't sure he'd even be able to walk to the car to sleep and one look at Theo's lax face was proof that Theo wasn't going to be up for driving an hour to get them far out enough that they could actually find somewhere quiet enough to sleep. Liam resolved himself to having to move once the film finished and prayed for it to turn out to be like a lord of the rings extended edition so that he would never have to face the two-foot journey to his own bed.
As it turned out, he didn't have to worry about that. Just as the heroes were reuniting for what he guessed was a final time Liam's eyes slipped closed, his breathing evening out, slow and steady as he submitted to sleep. Images of lightsaber battles painting his eyelids.
