To the Sound of Cackling

"You guys are just watching this because it's around Halloween, right?" Viola laughed as the Crypt Keeper went into his routine for the second time. She had actually started to enjoy this. Lauren had settled into the couch on her right, and Robin had laid back against an old pillow on her left. As the episode had continued she had naturally just began to relax, leaning back, and enjoying things.

"Love you..." Lauren spoke softly, reaching across Viola's leg with a slight touch before patting Robin on the knee.

"I don't think Viola wants to watch us make out again," Robin snickered, pulling himself a little closer to Viola so he could reach across her. Ok, he thought to himself, just make this nice and casual. Not trying to seduce her. His eyes were naturally drawn to the tan skin on display, and the fact that he could see all of her legs. She was so, close, and wearing so little. The pulse in his shorts gave lie to the thought of no seduction as he patted Lauren back on the soft cloth of her leggings.

"Oh I don't know, I liked it. And this episode is starting to suck," Viola groaned, leaning forward to grab another handful of popcorn.

"See, two against one, C'mere," Lauren reached across Viola's back and the soft thin fabric that covered it to grip at Robin's Shirt. She pulled him forward, and their lips met tenderly, behind Viola's back where she couldn't see them.

"Hey, No fair..." Viola whipped her head around as she leaned back, noting that both of them were considerably closer now, the fabric of Lauren's legging's pressed right up against her own bare leg. She shot a quick glance at the smiling Lauren, who said nothing, merely wearing an enigmatic smile.

Robin enjoyed the contact of Viola's skin when she settled back into the Couch after grabbing another handful of popcorn. Having her here reminded her of a lot of things. Good, bad and indifferent, but a lot of things. His eyes roamed over Viola's breasts barely covered by the thin fabric, and he realized he was openly staring and tried to yank his gaze back to the tv. She was so close, and he had seen her body, nude, aching for him. She had begged for him not half an hour earlier, and the thought was driving him crazy. He wanted so badly to just grasp her, and he moistened his lips as he contemplated the feel of that skin against more intimate areas.

"...BUT I DON'T, That's the POINT!" The three on the couch suddenly heard from outside the front door.

"Yeah, but you know, boring..." The door flew open and two teenagers stomped in, bringing a chill to race through the house and the ancient heater to immediately begin ticking numerous times before flaring into blessed heat. All three on the couch unconsciously moved closer, as the chill flew through the room.

"Dad, we're HOMe!," Miranda shouted over her shoulder, not even noticing that there were three people on the couch as she breezed past, stomping as she went.

"Hi Dad, Hi Mom," Titania also moved past quickly, "We want... uh... Hi... sorry." Titania paused mid-sentence, her eyes on Viola's face as she glanced back at the teen. Viola saw the teens eyes drop down her body, then rapidly away. "I uh... we're back." Titania blushed, turning towards the kitchen with a rapid aversion of her entire body. "Uhm... I..."

Robin immediately felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown on him inside as well as the chill air. He suddenly felt the urge to make something up, but then he realized that he didn't have to. He wasn't doing anything wrong. He had to remember that. He was having a good time with a friend.

"Hey Kiddo!" He Smiled, Brightly. "Where'd you go?" He snuggled a little closer to Viola, who seemed more embarrassed than he was at this point. His hand naturally drifted around her shoulder, and he pulled her into a one handed hug that seemed incredibly comforting to Viola.

"Just to the Mall. I picked up a game, and I was gonna ask to use the PS4, but..." Titania dropped the small red and white bag onto a counter before busying herself in the fridge, quite studiously.

"So... you didn't eat," Lauren sighed. "Good thing we still have Dorm Spaghetti."

"Dorm Spaghetti?" Viola asked, puzzled.

"Spaghetti sauce with olives and... Actually I remember last time." Lauren giggled apologetically.

"It's long and complicated, and Lauren loves to talk about it." Robin laughed, "But yeah, we've got some if you want any too, uhm, Viola, Titania, my kid, the other one's in the back."

"I have a name!" Miranda stomped out of her room and adopted a pose similar to an orangutan. "HI! Miranda! Crazy one! Bye!" She immediately stomped back, before walking out casually. Robin noted that she hadn't even commented on the situation. "Thinking of doing that when I meet people, whaddya think?"

"Well, you're early," Lauren sighed, leaning back on the couch once again, as the show continued.
