"Want to watch a movie or something?" he asked.
"Sure."
I went and sat down on the couch while Michael stood with the remote and cycled through Netflix until he found something he wanted to watch. I expected him to just sit next to me, but after he sat down he pulled me over to him until he was lying down with me as his little spoon. My skin tingled with happiness at this turn of events. I wiggled against him a few times to get comfortable and then settled in for what would hopefully be a long movie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The movie was average at best, but the viewing company vastly improved the experience. Now and then I felt Michael's breath against my head, and the dull pulsing of his heartbeat was constantly present.
Distracting thoughts filled my head now and then, many of them involving us cuddling naked on the couch instead or our lips touching in a shy but eager kiss. By the end of the movie, I was hard again and didn't even notice right away that the credits had begun.
"I think I might have fallen asleep at some point," said Michael. "I don't think I followed the plot very well."
"That might just be the movie," I giggled, "because I don't know what happened either."
"I'm gonna give it five stars," said Michael seriously, slowly pushing me off the couch before standing up himself once I was out of the way. I picked myself off the carpet. "Just to confuse other people."
"You're a danger to public safety, Michael," I replied as I watched him give it a stellar rating.
"I'm a danger to pubic safety too," he said, flicking my boner and making me flinch.
"You're a danger to my mental safety with those kinds of puns," I retorted. I tried to flick his crotch back but he grabbed my hand and re-directed me to I crashed face first into the back cushions of the couch. "No fair," I mumbled into the cushion.
"Life's not fair," said Michael nonchalantly. He turned off the tv as I pulled myself back onto my feet. "I think I might try to sleep soon here. I was thinking maybe we could talk about about the sexual aspects of this arrangement tonight, like how you want me to treat you in bed and stuff."
"Oh, I see," I said.
"Then I figured it would probably embarrass you, so I came up with a different idea during the movie. Heard of that Mojo website or whatever it's called? It asks you both questions independently and then it only tells us what we both are interested in or something like that. If you want it could spare us a conversation that might be awkward."
"I think I've heard of it online before. I've never tried it though."
"Well let's give it a shot. If it sucks we can just talk tomorrow."
Michael began walking towards his room, but I caught his wrist.
"Wait!"
"What? You don't want to try it?" he asked.
