((Off to bed. I’ll reply to the movie thread tomorrow. Night!))
“A lot of people thought that was believable.” Steve shrugged, grinning as the man kissed his cheek. “Isn’t so far from the truth, apparently the Protheans were studying us for a while.”
“Really? They studied you?” He squinted as he looked at the movie, thinking out loud. “So they had to have been observing you in your pre-civilization days, right? Earth doesn’t have much of a human history for tens of thousands of years ago.”

Chuckling, Steve drank some of his soda before he explained to Boss. “More like their oppressor. They think he’s a god because he’s got the advanced technology. This movie and the series had a theory on gods of different human cultures, that they were really aliens.”
“Okay, now THAT is clever.” He chuckled and shook his head. “Aren’t too sure how things panned out? It was aliens! Seems good to me.” He grinned at Steve, kissing his cheek before turning back to the movie.

“It’s supposed to be in the past of the events of the movie.” Steve said matter-of-factly. “When they first started to really do that stuff.” He didn’t mind talking about the movie while watching it, he’d probably seen it a lot. He really enjoyed the older movies, there was something about them.
“Oh…” Boss nodded and munched on the popcorn, acting as if he knew what was going on. For him, though, most of this was going clear over his head. No matter, he thought. He’d catch up. “Wait, so this… Ra guy is their leader? Or the oppressor? Why do they think he’s a god?”

“I’m sure you’ll manage.” Steve huffed, taking a soda and a handful of popcorn. He was enjoying this, spending some alone time with Boss. Especially after having spent so much time working. It wasn’t like he actually enjoyed it greatly, it just helped him take his mind off of things. “It takes a bit to get to the action.” Steve noted, watching the opening title of the movie.
The opening title wasn’t anything fancy. Not for Boss, at least. But he knew that the movie was 150 years old at least, if not older. He chuckled softly and continued watching, munching on the popcorn. “Hmm, a giant ring in the desert… Totally feasible! Because nobody would have found it before…”

Shaking his head he elbowed Boss after he was nudged. “It is an interesting concept. Would be a little easier to travel long distances that way sometimes…” Leaning into Boss, he pressed a command on his omnitool to start the movie before turning it off. Steve brought his arm around Boss’ waist. “This isn’t a real romantic movie.” Steve grinned, noting their position. “Got a little bit of it though.”
“Oh, no romance? How will we ever get off?” Boss snorted and shook his head before putting it on Steve’s. “I guess I’ll just have to deal with simple action, eh? Explosions, guns, so on…” He chuckled and reached over to the nightstand to grab the popcorn and sodas, offering them to Steve as he watched the beginning of the movie.

“The kodiak is my baby.” Steve grinned, clearly joking. “Got to make sure that bird lives up to my standards.” He brought up the movie on the monitor, pausing it before it started. Shooting Boss a look as he questioned about the movie he replied. “It’s about this transportation device that someone imagined up, uses wormholes to transport between devices. This was made a long time before first contact or interstellar travel. There were a few television shows inspired by this movie too.”
“Aww, so I get to see your humanity in its infant stages, huh?” He nudged Steve’s side playfully and chuckled softly. “I guess that’s not too farfetched of an idea… Shab if I know how to make it work though. I’m a shooter, not a calculator.” Stretching his arms up and out, he sighed deeply as he put an arm around Steve’s shoulders to keep him close. He was going to make sure that they stayed together tonight.

At hearing Steve’s voice, Boss popped up and simply grinned at the man, remembering the time he was referring to. “Hey, I promise I won’t do anything if you promise the same thing. Plus I want to see what movie you’re interested in… And probably laugh at it.” He chuckled and scooted back on the bed, patting the space next to him. Boss was dressed in a similar outfit to Steve’s—sweatpants and a loose tee. There was a bowl of popcorn on the nightstand in addition to two bottles of soda, all fresh from the mess.
“Hm, don’t think I believe you.” Steve chuckled, moving from his spot and closing the door. “And laugh? How rude of you.” He sat down on the bed next to Boss, not being able to resist leaning over and kissing him. “Sorry I’ve been kind of neglecting you.” He mumbled, sighing and kissing him again before pulling away. The pilot brought up his omnitool. “There’s this movie I haven’t watched in a while, it’s called Stargate. It’s this real old earth movie.”
Boss hummed into the kiss both times, enjoying it greatly. “No need to apologize. I know you’ve been…busy with the Kodiak.” As much as he couldn’t believe it, he felt jealous. A machine had gotten most of Steve’s attention but it was just how things were going right now. “Stargate? The shab is that about?” An eyebrow quirked up as he watched Steve work his magic on the omnitool.
They had been unusually quiet as of late, unsettling for Boss. He knew Steve was busy with working on the Kodiak to get it into top shape but he always was down there. Boss knew how important it was to have everything functioning properly during a time of war but he missed having Steve to himself if it were just for a couple hours.
Giving him almost an order, Boss now sat on the bed in his quarters and waited for Cortez to show up. The monitor was set up but currently blank, waiting for the pilot to choose a movie when he showed up. If he would show up.
There were times when Steve worked a little too much. Actually, it was just about all the time. Usually he never listened when people would tell him to take a break. Often he would go overtime and the system would automatically lock him out, that was really the only way to force him away from work.
Boss was able to do it, somehow. Get the man from working when it wasn’t required of him. Having changed from his uniform into sweats and a tee similar to Vega’s, Steve arrived to Boss’ quarters. “I think the last time we tried to watch a movie, things ending differently.” Steve teased, crossing his arms and leaning against the frame of the door briefly.

((Echo, no. Stop being that way. Say something provocative and sexy.
Ahh, fuck it.))
