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?

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

[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...

[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...?

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

... [headtilt]

I don't think I've ever watched a horror movie. [SOMEONE IS SHELTERED]

[combat_butler]

--eh?!

... that is both surprising, yet completely expected... So many classics she's likely missed out on...

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[a nod]

Very well then. If I am to choose, I'd like to see that film.

[combat_butler]

--eh? Really?? *This is... not what he expected at all.* Well, if you're sure...

*getting in the ticket line behind the people in front of them!*

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[stepping into line next to him]

Not completely, if I'm going to be honest. And yet I must admit that my curiosity is getting the best of me.

[combat_butler]

Aha... I just can't imagine you'll actually be scared by it, that's all.

*Stepping forwaaaard. Glad there are only a few people ahead of them.*

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Aren't horror movies supposed to be frightening?

[... he may be surprised h-haha]

[combat_butler]

Well, yeah... It's just difficult to imagine, you know? You're just so cool and collected...

*... he cannot picture it at allll and is worried he's the one who's going to do all the screaming and jumping.*

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

Even I slip up on occasion. And since I've never seen a horror movie before, I have no idea how I'll react.

[combat_butler]

Haha... In that case, I'll consider myself lucky to be your partner for your first time! ♥

[bufudyned.livejournal.com]

[a little flush]

Hn... perhaps I should consider myself lucky then as well.

[combat_butler]

Aha... I'll take whatever luck I can get, you don't need to force yourself to feel it.

*And stepping up to the counter!* --ah, two for 'Night of the Walking Gloom' please.

*TOTALLY MAKING TO PAY FOR IT ALL HIMSELF by the way*
