It was a welcome night off for the team, they had just returned from a mission and all were feeling it. After a quick dinner they settled in for a movie marathon.
“What do you mean you’ve never seen Star Wars Amir? It's a classic!” exclaimed McG as the team bickered lightly over what movies to watch. Not letting him explain or even say if he wanted to watch McG announced “Well that’s settled we are watching Star Wars, but only the original three, no prequals no sequels”
No one bothered to argue with the determined look on McG’s face, not even Amir, though he wasn’t a fan of fantasy, that had always been his sister’s genre of choice. McG set up the TV and settled on one end of the couch with Jaz at the other end her feet stretched out almost touching McG’s leg and leaving no room for anyone else. Amir carefully plopped into the recliner trying not to disturb Patton who was snoring softly at its base. Looking at the seating arrangements, Preach just shook his head.
“I’m going to go call my family” He announced and started walking towards his room “I was alive when the last film of the original trilogy came out McG I have seen them all don’t even start” He continued walking shaking his head and laughing at what he was sure was an outraged look from McG.
Adam had been finishing up paperwork while all of this was going down and emerged from his room to find an affronted looking McG and a laughing Jaz and Amir. Deciding he didn’t want to get into whatever was happening he pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered “I’ll be outside, try to behave” The laughter of his youngest teammates followed him out but slowly turned to silence as he heard the familiar opening credits. Damn, they actually picked a good movie, maybe I’ll have to go back in. He thought, sinking into an uncomfortable camp chair
***
Back inside McG was softly quoting lines and anytime he got just a smidge too loud Jaz poked him with her toe in warning. Amir watched the movie silently realizing he had actually missed quite a few pop-culture references over the years. As the familiar credits rolled McG immediately found the second one and hit play allowing no argument. Thankfully Jaz and Amir were happy to continue. Slowly over the course of the movie Jaz and McG had shifted and now she was leaning against him trying to get comfortable.
“Stop wiggling Jazzy I can’t focus on the movie”
“McG you have seen this movie at least 20 times, you don’t need to focus on it you can recite it in your sleep”
“Shush you, it's a beloved classic” he said, rolling his eyes fondly. “Go back to the way you were before you didn’t wiggle so much that way”
“But I wanna lay down and your giant body is in my way”
“Jazzy I won’t mind if your feet are in my lap you aren’t heavy”
Without another word Jaz lay down stretching out on the couch her feet perched in McG’s lap. Looking up gleefully she whispered “Much better vantage point for getting you to shut up” glancing meaningfully at her feet in his lap. With that she turned back to the movie, missing the grimace on McG’s face and the smirk of amusement coming from Amir. By the time the second movie had finished and McG was putting on the third Jaz was practically asleep but McG and Amir were determined to finish all three in one night.

Outside Adam awoke with a start shuddering when he realized that he had been asleep in that uncomfortable camp chair for several hours. Muttering curses to himself he slowly unfolded and shuffled towards the hut. It was quiet and dark except for the low hum of the movie and he wondered if everyone had fallen asleep. Just as he was preparing the creep past whoever was asleep he heard a mumbled voice.
“McG?”
“”M comfy Jazzy” came the muttered reply “like your tits”
Adam froze at this. He didn’t know McG and Jaz were a thing and he didn’t like it. He was about to storm into the hut and give them a lecture on fraternization and policy when he heard something muttered and Amir’s laughter. With this he realized they couldn’t be up to too much hanky panky if Amir was still in the room with them. Stomping in not bothering to be quiet he pinched the bridge of his nose “What the hell guys?”
“It’s a Star Wars movie marathon Top” McG said confused.
“I gathered that McG. No I’m referring to the fact that two teammates cannot be dating or engaging in sexual activity while in the field”
“EW” shouted Jaz just as McG shouted “NO NO NO”
Now it was Adam’s turn to be confused, blushing slightly he waved his arm in their direction “Then why are you talking about how comfy Jaz’s …” at this he paused to compose himself “breasts are?”
At this they burst out laughing. “Did you catch what she said after that by any chance Top or did you hear tits and storm in here like a jealous boyfriend?” McG asked. At Adam’s blank look he continued “Go ahead and use my tits as a pillow you make a great weighted blanket you big oaf” Jaz and McG looked at each other and Amir and burst out laughing all over again. After a moment they composed themselves, turning back to the movie while Adam stood still, frozen in place, stuck on McG calling him a jealous boyfriend.
