Want to be cloooooose

Who: Hayate Ayasaki, Mitsuru Kirijo
Where: Olivine City!
When: 5/8, Noon!
Summary: Hayate invited Mitsuru out on a date for her birthday! Hopefully he will not ruin it horribly.
Rating: ... PG-13 at best for movie themed antics.
Log:

*It wasn't unusual for Hayate to be early for something... In fact he always tried to be early, which is why when he sent Mitsuru the text to show up at the movie theater at around noon, he fully intended to get there a good thirty minutes early!

... something he was regretting significantly at this point, considering he had been nervously pacing in front of the theater for the entirety of the time. Should he have dressed up nicer for this? Was tossing on his nicest coat on top of his uniform not enough?? What if she didn't like the movies playing? What if something came up and she's late?? What if she didn't show up at all?! There could totally be more important things for her to do on her birthday than go out with him, right??*

Ahhhh... Why does this all suddenly feel like I'm going to be willingly participating in a train wreck?

[Thankfully for Hayate's nerves, Mitsuru had every intention of showing up on time! She was, after all, a very punctual woman, and standing Hayate up was certainly not on her list of things to do.

Considering she was always the type to dress up, it came as no surprise that she had put on her best top and skirt, and had even (LE GASP) pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail. And just as predicted, she arrived at the theater at noon on the dot, pausing only to inhale deeply to settle her own bunch of nerves, before approaching the pacing boyfriend]

-- Hayate?

*noticeably startling at hearing her voice! And quickly turning to her and... oh. Immediately blushing at seeing her.*

[combat_butler]

*And then he does his best to collect himself* --I, um... H-Hello, Mitsuru-san! You, um... You look nice! I-I mean, you always do, but-- m-more so than usual!

[cue blush]

Thank you, Hayate. You look quite handsome today as well. T-that is, you always do, but even more so than usual right now.

[combat_butler]

--eh? Um... Ah... Th-thank you... *ffff always what are you even* I, um... *SHUFFLING AWKWARDLY, going to take a while until he's relaxed* I see you, ah.... Put your hair up...?

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[lifting a hand to her ponytail and nodding. aaaah he noticed] Yes... it is fairly warm outside, so I thought... it was appropriate.

[combat_butler]

It... It looks good! I mean, um... You wear it very well, like I said back when we were at the farm...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[fffft Hayate always manages to make her turn so red]

I'm... I'm glad you like it. I never used to wear my hair up before, but I suppose it is not an unwelcome change.

[combat_butler]

*He is just being honest here... And starting to feel a tad less nervous.*

I'm sure that you could wear any kind of style and make it work, Mitsuru-san! You just have the kind of look, you know...?

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[progress! she is too]

Do you think so? I'm not so sure. Yukari seems to be more that kind of girl.

[combat_butler]

Mm, I do! Yukari-san definitely has a good sense of style, but I'm positive that you could pull anything off if you put forth the effort!

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Ah... thank you. [a nod] Perhaps one day, when I have the time, I'll look into a new series of outfits.

[combat_butler]

Ehe... It's definitely an idea! *Annnnd taking a deep breath before--* So, um... Shall we head in?

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[breathing in and nodding]

Of course. It's been a while since I've visited a theater.

[combat_butler]

*Opening and holding the door for her!*

To be perfectly honest, it's hard to picture you going to a movie theater at all...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

I didn't go often as a child. In fact, I had gone for my first time a mere few month or so before I arrived in Johto.

[combat_butler]

Ahaha... That sounds about right! In my case, I just couldn't afford to go to them.

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

I see... I suppose Johto changes those circumstances, then? Though the answer to that should be obvious considering... well. [gestures to the interior of the theater. IT'S SO BIG AND NICE]

[combat_butler]

Yeah, I had to put all my earnings into other things... *looking around a bit as he walks in proper* I only really came here beforehand to check the times and what was playing, so I didn't really... take it all in. Is this IMAX??

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

It's an impressive building, if I do say so myself.

-- ah, and I suppose we are to buy tickets over there? [gesturing to the counter]

[combat_butler]

--ah! Yes, but... Normally I would have bought them in advance to make sure we get in, but I don't know what your taste in movies is like, so I, um... I figured I'd let you decide what we should see. They have a movie of almost every genre playing, so if you have a preference...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Preference?

To be honest, I don't. Do you, by chance, have one...?

[combat_butler]

--er, not really? I've seen so few movies I haven't exactly had time to get one... But, um... You really don't have one? It doesn't even have to be movie preference... They have horror, comedy, romantic comedy, drama, sci-fi, action... Not to mention a few that are a combination of them...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[staring at the movie listing thoughtfully]

... "Night of the Walking Gloom?"

[combat_butler]

Ah... That sounds like a horror movie. How do zombies translate to Pokemon...?
