Guess I'm on a roll.

Magnetism

Ian receives an early cut of X-Men by post. It's meant to be a secret. The hobbits know within hours. Sean and Billy laugh it off, but the younger two are unshakeable.

"Please Ian, please?" Elijah hops up and down, "I've been waiting for this movie my whole life."

"That's not long enough to convince me of anything," Ian dismisses. "Gentlemen, I'm afraid you'll only be disappointed if you see it now. There's no soundtrack and the effects aren't finished. You'll enjoy it more if you wait."

"You have to let us, Ian, please," Dom asks; the big-eyed begging look that seems inevitably childish on Elijah has a completely different effect when Dominic does it. "Your villain roles are so sexy, and we've already all memorised Richard III."

"And Dom keeps making us watch Apt Pupil!" Elijah complains. "No offense, Ian, but like five times was enough."

He screens it for them on the condition that there are to be no comparisons to the comic-books or exclamations of "Awesome!" in his home. Elijah covers his mouth no less than fifteen times.

With some effort Ian dismisses them when their praise grows too overheated. Predictably, Dom pauses at the door. "Can I come back and watch it with you again?"

"I might be persuaded," Ian tells him. "Another time."

Dom beams. "Can I watch it in your lap?"

"Shoo," Ian answers succinctly, but it doesn't occur to him to say no.
