Happy Friday! This one is Outdoor Movie Theater, but I'm likely going to write the other two at some point because I can, so let me know if you want me to tag you in those too.
Alex can’t help giggling at the look of utter confusion on Henry’s face after he’s lead him out to the side of their new home where a pickup truck awaits. The truck itself is facing away from their home, with the bed of the truck laid down and decked out with a thin bed, blankets, pillows and movie-going snacks.
The movie is against the wall of their home, projected on it as if it were a drive-in theater. It was a pain in the ass to get the equipment, but he was tired of wanting to go to the movies and make out with his boyfriend, fiancée, now husband, and people being nosy about it. (Although they hadn’t tried that since the move to Texas, but in New York, people were nosy, and he doesn’t want to risk it).
Now, they could experience a drive-in all by themselves (Alex was determined that Henry get to experience all of the fun American things he missed while being a Prince in England in his teens).
It’s not quite the same as going to one of the ones built for others to enjoy as well, but this way, they can experience it and if making out while a movie plays turns into having sex in the back of the pickup, there won’t be a news headline tomorrow.
“This is our very own drive-in theater,” Alex says, grinning. “I’ve got a movie and snacks and plans to make out with you just like a normal teenage American experience.”
Henry looks like he’s trying not to laugh as he says, “You do realize that we’re far closer to our thirties than our teens, yes?”
“Well, to be fair, drive-ins have gone a bit out of style, and we may be working our way into over a decade beyond our teens, but you’ve been delayed – living in England and all, so we can make an exception.”
Henry hums. “You also know that we have a perfectly good home theater in our lovely new home, yes?”
“Yes, but this is an experience you’ve never had – watching a movie while outside under the stars – and it’s my job as your husband to make sure you’ve experienced it all,” Alex counters.
“And we couldn’t just go to an actual drive-in theater because…?”
“Besides the obvious?” Alex questions, rhetorically. “If making out leads to something else then we won’t end up in the papers.”
Henry coughs. “So, you don’t even want to watch the movie at all? You just want to shag me in the bed of a pickup.”
“I didn’t say that; I said if it ends up that way…” Alex winks and Henry bursts out laughing.
“Demon! I married a demon.”
Alex grins. “And now you’re stuck with him! Now, come on, let’s get comfortable.”
He plants a kiss on Henry’s lips and then climbs into the bed of the pickup with Henry following after him.
It doesn’t take long for them to settle into a comfortable cuddling position.
“What are we watching, anyway?”
“Our favorite movies,” Alex answers with a knowing grin. They always end up arguing about the trilogy whenever they watch which leads to making out and then, well, exactly what Alex wants in the bed of this pickup.
Henry throws his head back and laughs. “Yes, I married a demon, but I married my favorite demon. I love you.”
With that, he presses start and their night begins.
