They all arrived at the theatre, with Mick waiting for them outside, following them in.
They all ordered what they wanted and took their appropiate seats.
Sitting in the back, with Barry and Iris sitting together, Cisco and, a insisting, Lisa together, Caitlin and Mick sitting by one another, Leaving Leonard to sit by his bestfriend, and Sara next to him.
The movie went by quietly, with Mick making side comments that made Caitlin laugh and giggle--causing people in front of them to turn around and shush them, which led to more laughs and remarks from Leonard telling them to shut up, and finally caused them to be kicked out by an usher.
It was already 7:30 when they got outside.
"So..what now?" Lisa looking around toward the group.
"We go home." Leonard deadpanned.
"No." Sara spoke up, side eyeing Leonard in the process. "Please don't tell me I'm the only one who can't go for a drink right now?"
"No offense Sara..but you're underage." Barry said with sorry eyes.
"And?"
"I like her." Mick grinned.
"Let's go!" Lisa shouted pulling Cisco along.
They all followed the couple.
Leonard was eyeing the way Lisa was clinging on to Cisco's arm and the way Cisco kept looking at his sister.
It wasn't until a shove to his shoulder, that he realized he was falling behind the group.
He looked at the tiny blonde who had put her hands on him.
"What was that for?" He said starting to walk in-step with her.
"You need to lighten up." She said looking up at him. "Let her Do her own thing."
"If I did that than I probably won't see her till next month."
"Well, I just met her today but from what I've learned so far is, she can handle her own. Am I right?"
"You are." He studied her from the corner of his eye.
She had on a green jacket, with a light purple tank top, light brown pants, and combat boots. Her hair was down resting restlessly on her porcelain-like skin. The city lights making her dark ocean blue eyes pop out more than he can ever imagine.
"See...nothing to worry about." She had a soft smile facing towards the pavement.
"Sorry."
She looked up at the sudden apology.
"For earlier," Leonard shoved his hands into his pocket to keep them from fidgeting. "at Jitters."
Sara opened her mouth to say something, but Lisa's voice came out instead.
"He's the 'rude hottie' from your job earlier?!" Lisa pointed her finger towards her brother. "Gross! Omg."
"Hottie?" Leonard smirked at Sara.
Sara took an exasperated sigh and rolled her eyes.
❄❄❄❄❄
Leonard was still smirking to himself when he realized where they were heading. "Really, Lis?"
"What? Saints & Sinners is the only bar that won't ask us for credentials since they know us."
"Fine." Leonard muttered.
When they approached the bar Mick held the door open for the group as they headed inside.
Leonard went towards the corner booth as if by instinct, having to keep everyone in the bar in his sights.
The group followed automatically.
Mick went to the bar to order them a couple of drinks, Barry and Iris went to a near by booth, and Cisco and Lisa went to the dance floor.
"What's up with you?" Sara rested her head on her hand, propped up by her elbow, facing Leonard.
"What do you mean?" He tilted his head at her.
"Your over here, not talking to anyone, giving that dark stare towards anyone who gets at least 2 feet radius of you--or Lisa and Mick, and your closed off."
"Well, excuse me for not wanting to open up towards a stranger. "
"You also, don't put yourself out there."
"Wow, you got all that by being by me from the last two hours."
Sara shrugged and let her arm fall to her side.
Mick returned with the drinks and sat by Cailtin.
"So, how'd you guys meet?" Mick asked pointing between Cailtin and Sara.
"Long story, how'd you guys meet?" Sara said now gesturing between Leonard and Mick.
"Longer story." Leonard cut in.
"I'll show you mine, if you show me yours." Sara teased.
Leonard huffed out a laugh at the sudden turn in conversation.
"Fine," Leonard took a sip from his beer.
"We met in Juvie." Mick said without hesitation."
Sara raised her eyebrows and Cailtin's eyes went wide.
"I had a tendency to say the things that first popped into mind." Leonard leaned back.
"Had?"
Leonard gave a dull smile towards his friend. "Anyways, Mick saved me from a pretty bad beating."
"Thought you said it was long." Sara frowned.
"Well, I'd love to tell you more in depth another time." Leonard gave a challenging glare.
"Deal." Sara smiled.
Leonard looked towards his friend and Cailtin who were now smiling at them.
"What?" Leonard and Sara said in synced.
"Nothing." Caitlin said hiding a smile.
❄❄❄❄❄❄
The rest of the night went by swiftly.
They had to end up calling it a night around 9 o'clock, due to Lisa throwing up on Mick's pants.
Cisco and Leonard went to retrieve the cars from where they were parked outside the theatre still.
Leonard held the car door open for his sister and Mick.
He turned around to face Sara. "Sorry, my sister doesn't seem to quite know when enough is enough, yet."
"Oh, it's fine. I had a good time."
"Thank you, for letting us tag along. I'm sure Mick and Caitlin are grateful for it." He nodded towards where Mick and Caitlin were kissing next to the hood of Sara's car, disregarding the left over vomit from Lisa.
Sara's eyes went wide before returning them to Leonard. "You gonna make due on that promise?" Leonard raised his eyebrows in question. "The 'tell you more depth another time' promise?"
"I suppose." He fought the feeling to smile.
"How about... saturday night?"
"I have plans for Saturday night, sadly." He smiled at the way Sara's smile turned into a pout. "But how about lunch?"
Sara smiled "Deal."
She jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Leonard was struck by the sudden physical affection, but placed his hands slowly on her lower back.
It took Sara a moment to realise what she was actually doing and immediately released the man.
"I, uh, better get Lisa home." Leonard pointed towards the back seat of Lisa's car, where she currently layed passed out.
"Yeah! I'll see you later, Leonard." She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and headed towards her own car.
"Mick!" Leonard called while getting in the drivers seat.
Mick jumped and banged his head against Caitlin's.
They laughed and said they're goodbyes.
Mick got into the passenger seat.
"You look like you had a good time." Leonard faced his friend.
"You did too, you and blondie are just too stubborn to let it happen."
Leonard continued to glare at Mick.
"What?"
Leonard gave a quick glance to the seat belt and returned his gaze at Mick.
"You and your damn seat belts." Mick muttered while pulling the strap over his chest and buckling it.
