"Oh. Heh." Color him embarrassed, if there was anything left to color red at all; he was pretty sure he could be a giant apple now. He rubbed the back of his neck and then lifted his arm, allowing Maebe to get comfortable again. Hopefully he hadn't been sweating too much...He swore he had put on several layers of deodorant but his body was rebellious in that department... The movie proceeded peacefully. Dawson paid attention for the most part, but his mind kept wandering for one reason or another. It became increasingly harder each time he remembered why they were doing it. That, and he was having to stifle yawns, it because he was bored but because he was constantly tired these days. Nerves had made it easier to forget was all, like tiny boosts of adrenaline. "Didja know they made a sequel?" he stage whispered during a quiet part. "Lotsa retcon going in."

Maebe had taken her own advice, and she was caught up in the movie by the time he'd spoken again. She turned her head, and gave him a dubious look. "What the hell do you mean, retcon? What happened?" Somebody had never seen the sequel. Somebody was very fond of John Smith.

"Oh. Oh, honey." Dawson gave her a sympathetic look. "Pocahontas goes to England or somethin' n' gets shacked up with another dude. John even's like yeah ya'll got my blessings."

The movie was all but forgotten. She turned around to face him, setting her hands on his shoulders. "What are you saying? That Pocahontas and John find each other again, and don't hook up for their happily ever after? Who - what kind of bullshit is this? How could he give another dude his blessing? Dawson, they can't keep their hands off each other in this movie they're like, the wind is all pushing them together and they're totally in love, Disney doesn't just - it can't just do that and then s**t all over it." Well, this movie was officially ruined for her. "She magically learned english for him. And, and she gave up her life to protect him, and he said they'd always be together, and if I can't believe in Disney princes then - " Maybe this was about more than just the ******** up story of Pocahontas.

Dawson managed to keep his grin in check, finding her distress funny right up until it started to turn into more of a rant. "Whoa whoa whoa, honey." He reached up to take her hands, sliding them off his shoulders and keeping ahold. "That's like the only time that's ever happened in Disney. It was like fer historical accuracy or some s**t."

It was comforting to know that this was the only time Disney would ruin her expectations, but it was still a deconstruction of her little Pocahontas and John Smith fantasy, and that did not shake off as easily. She dropped her chin to rest against him, and let out a huff of indignation. "Historical accuracy can suck my c**k." She muttered unhappily. "There was so much passion between them. What'd this other guy bring to the table that John Smith couldn't?" Her chin lifted, and her lower lip was jutted out thick and heavy. "I want to watch this damn movie." She really didn't. But she needed Disney to rectify this terrible mistake.

After a bark of laughter, Dawson shrugged. Well, shrugged with the arm she wasn't leaning on. "I don' remember, it came on Disney Channel a few times," he replied. "Both've the guys felt the same t'me. Can't even remember the other dude's name, but he like helped teach her about court manners n' stuff since she had t'present herself." He pat her back with some sympathy nonetheless. "Not gonna judge ya if ya ship Pocajohn, promise."

She did ship Pocajohn, even though technically that didn't actually distinguish which of the Johns she shipped - neither of them realized that at the moment, so it really didn't matter to them. "I'm still kind of mad about it, though." She muttered. "After all that." It seemed like offering up your life should have been enough. Disney had failed her. "I don't want to watch Pocahontas anymore." She'd be back to loving the movie another day, but the new information unsettled her enough to want to change to a story with a safer happy ending. "Let's see.. Tangled, Beauty and the Beast - yes. You okay with that one?"

"Yeah, uh, s'fine with me." He scratched his chin and felt a little bad that he had ruined the movie that much for her. Well, so much for chill. "Didja know they made a second movie fer that too? Not a sequel, like a...a middlequel? I dunno what the word is, but it's like more stuff from when they was livin' in the castle t'gether, before Beast got changed."

She paused right before hitting play, and leaned her head in to focus real hard on his eyes, with intense scrutiny. "Belle and the Beast still get together though, right." Don't do this to her, Dawson.

"A-A'course!" Dawson said quickly, leaning back a little. "Yeah! No way they'd mess up that dream couple, Mayb."

The relief was evident in the beam of her smile, the genuine kind that only he was ever allowed to see. "That's more like it. Beauty and the Beast, it is." She pulled one hand away from his, and reached up to scratch at his beard. It felt itchy against her fingers, and turned her smile down from beaming, to just fond. It was distracting. A few moments of losing herself in the feel of him against her fingers, she finally sucked in a breath and turned back towards the computer. "Okay. Movie. Mm." She pressed play, and settled back in to that comfortable spot between his arms and legs where she felt like coming home. "This one's got my favorite music."

It probably didn't help that it had gotten thicker either. Dawson was well on his way to a proper and connected beard. He scratched at the place she had touched, trying to stop the oddly ticklish feeling before he giggled. "Yeah? You gonna sing along?" he asked with a smile, clearly hoping so. "I'd join ya, but I don' remember all the lyrics."

"Yes." She chirped back up at him. "It's just you, here. I'm not going to spare you the sound of my voice. If someone else was in here, maybe. But you?" She smacked at the hand that was scratching his beard, and then mercilously scratched the entire thing with both her hands, ruining any chance at losing the tickles. "No hiding from you. You get to deal with it." She wasn't going to sing the first song, though.. because Belle's voice was absolutely beautiful, and Maebe couldn't manage half of those notes without cracking. So instead she hummed quietly, and waited for all of the bonjours. Now those she could sing, perfect accent and all.

He beamed and deemed it worthy of choking back a chuckle or two as she attacked his beard with more attention. Maebe was rewarded with a noise that sound like it belonged to Goofy. And then, after allowing several bonjours to go unchallenged (he's forgotten she knew how to speak it, and it sounded lovely aloud even for just a word), Dawson finally cut in with his own comically loud, "BAWNJER!" (He remembered belatedly that he used to do it for his niece too, the high pitched giggling she made its own reward. It caused a twinge of nostalgia.)
