Beta: This fic was for liliofthevaley so I made her Beta it, therefore, all mistakes are hers. :P
“Nikola, stop trying to throw Henry into the fire!” Helen Magnus demanded as she helped Bigfoot bring out the ingredients they’d need for the smores. Kate had come up with the idea when she came back from her outing with Henry and a melting candy bar on her fingers.
At first, Helen thought it was a great idea - a nice way for the team to just hang around, tell stories, jokes, and just be free…that was until Nikola Tesla decided to join in. She didn’t know how he knew about their little get-together in the large backyard of the Sanctuary, but she figured Kate must’ve called him; they were close, though neither wanted to admit it.
“He knows I’m just kidding, Helen…” Nikola gave his innocent smile that suggested nothing about innocence.
“Kidding, right,” Henry glared at the vampire, ready to take the skinny man down. “Keep it up and you’ll be a crispy vampire!”
“Ooh, I’m scared!” Tesla exclaimed with his hands thrown up dramatically. “Those little Nubbins are scarier than you.”
“Knock it off, you idiots!” Kate shoved them both and helped Declan with the fire, then went to prep the smores with Magnus.
“Who’s idea was it to make smores in the first place?” Declan asked, removing his black jacket and throwing it on the sleeping bag he borrowed, since they were going to be sleeping outside.
“Kate’s,” Magnus said. “Apparently a melted candy bar triggered her desire to go down memory lane when her family made smores. Though, the camping outside the whole night was his idea.” She pointed at Bigfoot.
“I thought most people camped outside the whole night when they made smores.” He said, handing Kate the bag of marshmallows. “Otherwise we could’ve just done this over the stove.”
Henry laughed and snatched one of the chocolate bars, attempting to eat it. The Big Guy hit him on the back of the head, causing him to spit out the chocolate and stumble forward.
“Ow,” Henry pouted, rubbing the back of his head.
“Those are for the smores.” The Big Guy grunted.
“We’re gonna eat ‘em anyway!” Henry protested.
“But they’re for the smores,” Kate said, breaking off a piece and sticking it in her mouth with a sly grin.
Henry looked up at the Big Guy and frowned. “She took a piece and that didn’t deserve a slap on the back of the head?”
Big Foot just shrugged and walked away, leaving Henry to finish off the chocolate bar.
“Okay, I got the music.” Will said. “Though I didn’t pick Kate’s music, ‘cause, let’s be honest…a band like Death Death Means Death isn’t exactly welcoming for an evening like this.” He looked over at Kate with an un-amused look and shook his head.
“You suck!” she yelled in return.
Will put his iPod into the speaker dock and started the music as everyone gathered around the fire. Suddenly, the sound of some kind of techno music started with Will bobbing his head up and down and moving his body slowly back and forth. Everyone looked up at the same time and looked at Will with frowns and looks of confusion.
“Uh, mate, what is this?” Declan asked. Will turned around at the question and, for some reason, just realized he’d used the wrong playlist.
“Um…” Will headed to his iPod but was stopped by Magnus.
“For everyone’s benefit, I think we should listen to whatever you like to listen to.”
“You mean, so they can make fun of me…” he corrected.
“Dude, who the hell is this?” Henry asked, blowing out the flame on his marshmallow.
“EnriqueIglesias,” he mumbled with his head down.
“Who?” Henry asked again.
“Enrique Iglesias!” Will shouted. “There, are you happy?! I like listening to Enrique Iglesias, and in case you’re wondering, this song is called ‘I Like It’.”
Kate didn’t bother to contain her laughter as she fell over, grabbing her stomach. Will gave her a look, but Henry and Declan started laughing along with her.
“William, I think we need to talk about your choice in music.” Tesla said, rubbing the bridge of his nose, cringing at the sounds that were coming out of the speakers. “I could’ve settled for just about anything, but this?”
“Okay, I get it, you guys don’t like it.” Will rolled his eyes, and looked back down at Kate, who was still laughing with tears streaming down her face. “Is it really that funny?” he asked her.
“Funnier than you realize,” she said through her laughs and tears. “You criticize my music and you listen to this?” Kate sat up and wiped her eyes and cheeks. “I’m tempted to see the kind of moves you do to this.”
“God, no,” Henry closed his eyes. “That is the last thing I want to see: Will gyrating his pelvis to this song.”
“As opposed to Will gyrating his pelvis with any other song?” Tesla asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Good point.” Henry agreed. “Great, now I’ve got the visual of Will dancing…”
Kate finished the first batch of smores with the help of Bigfoot and passed the plate around.
“Could be worse,” Kate said, eating her smore. “You could be visualizing Will dancing in his room in nothing but his boxers.” She laughed and wiped some of the melted chocolate from the corner of her mouth as the others looked at Will, as if to try and picture him in boxers and dancing around his room.
“Kate, don’t ever mention that again.” Declan said, trying to wipe the image from his head.
Helen watched her friends, co-workers, and family in amusement. She felt bad Will was getting all of the teasing, but after listening to this song, he sort of deserved it.
Releasing him from the embarrassment, she changed the subject and started on the next batch of smores. She looked to her left and smiled, not saying anything. Kate was sitting close to Henry with his arm lazily wrapped around her waist, and she was…giggling. Kate didn’t giggle, but since she'd gotten together with Henry, she now had a reason.
Henry whispered something in her ear and she laughed quietly again. Kate raised a finger to his nose and smeared some of the chocolate along the side. Henry wiped it off with his hand then bent down to take one finger into his mouth. The small woman beside him blushed, but fed him the other fingers that had bits of chocolate on them, just before kissing his lips, running her tongue along them, tasting the chocolate.
She whispered something back in his ear and Henry just looked at her hungrily. Helen could tell whatever Kate said must’ve been very…naughty. She shook her head in amusement, but didn’t say anything. Helen looked to her right to see Declan and Will talking about…something - she wasn’t really paying attention, but they looked like they were having a good time. She smiled at them, then looked a few feet in front of her where Tesla was watching her. He wagged his eyebrows, causing her to roll her eyes and shake her head.
Yes, this was definitely the perfect night for smores.
