Third Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

It had taken a few moments to figure out the DVD player, but Merlin did as he was told and just pushed buttons until it worked. It was a surprisingly good method.

He sat back, ready to watch this porno thing that Emmett had said would be interesting.

And in the first five minutes, he couldn't quite understand the draw of this sort of entertainment. It was only like Morgana and Gwen in the fact that they looked vaguely similar. The way they talked and the room they were in certainly didn't look like any castle he'd ever seen. And, really, those dresses were just terribly impractical for a lady or a servant. They must be terribly cold--

Merlin's eyes went very big as the dress issue was solved and they ladies started kissing. The only sound he made was the verbal equivalent of a keysmash.

[[Open like a common room where a wizard is being scarred for life is!]]

She wasn't entirely sure what was happening on the television and cocked her head to the side. "Admittedly tired, but good," she replied. "Are we watching some sport or reality program?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"A mix of both," Chuck said with a smile. "Except it's a sport where everybody wins."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Ooh! What do they call it?" Her teacher would be pleased to hear she was learning about sports. Wait. "Why is she sitting on that girl?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"It's called pornography," Chuck said, doing his best to keep a straight face. "And...she's sitting on her because they're...wrestling."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Pornography," Adora repeated, filing the word away for future use. "Oh! Is it the kind of wrestling where we place bets on who will triumph?" Though, he'd said everyone won...

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Um, no. There's no betting. We just watch," he said. "We watch and enjoying the wrestling."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Then watch we will," Adora decided, sitting back and preparing to do just that when the girls seemed to lose their shirts. "Oh. They must be very...overheated from all the...oh!" Was it getting warm or was that Adora's blush.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck raised his eyebrows. "I forgot about the nipple piercings."

That wasn't very authentic for the time period. What kind of production value was this?

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Is that the ring on her...oh wow I've never seen a tongue do...this is a very different sort of wrestling," Adora decided, her stream of consciousness blather halting. "They seem more like they're going to have sexual relations than play a sport."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Oh, so she wasn't as clueless as Merlin. That was a relief. And kind of hot.

Chuck smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. "They are going to have sexual relations. Really good sexual relations. That's why it's a sport. They're like athletes in sex."

Oh, Chuck.

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"And they just let all of us watch on our televisions?" That seemed to lack the appropriate level of privacy. "Shouldn't they, you know, take a walk?" It was the appropriate euphemism when seeking the privacy for sex, after all.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck snickered. "That's not how pornography works. They do it just so we can watch. It's their job."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"And a lot of people...like to watch?" Adora asked. "Enough that it's drawn quite a crowd here, even." That was a very new idea.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Technically most people watch alone or in smaller groups," Chuck said. "But, yes, a lot of people like to watch. It's just not talked about in everyday conversation."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"No sort of sex is ever spoken of where I come from," Adora informed him. "This...is different." But was it bad? The heat in her face might know.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck smirked at her reaction. "It takes some getting used to. But, trust me, most people watch it."

Or, most men, anyways.

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

There was something about his smirk that made her smile. It was not a hardship to look away from the strange screen and focus on Chuck. "You watch it often, don't you?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I watch a fair amount," he replied, not ashamed at all. "Something to watch when I'm bored."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"I can't imagine someone as entertaining as you ever being bored, Chuck," Adora said. "You seem far too worldly for that."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Even people as worldly as myself get bored sometimes," he told her. Nope, no modesty there at all. "And when I get bored, porn is an easy go-to for entertainment. It's free and easy to get."
