When it rains, it pours or something deep like that.

[tookforgranite]

[It was absolutely pouring...just coming down in sheets. They'd decided to make a quick run to a store nearby - to get snacks for their study session - but now the two of them found themselves stuck in that shop staring out the window at the downpour. It was fine when they left! Cloudy, sure, and maybe they should have paid more attention to how dark the clouds were getting, but the forecast said that it wouldn't be any worse than a drizzle!]

Drizzle my ass...

[Natsumi shifted her bag of sweets to her other hand, placing the now free one on her hip. The wind breaker she was wearing wouldn't protect her from that storm...no way. At least not long enough to get back to the campus...]

What are we supposed to do now...? Got any ideas, Hinata-kun?

[The jury's out on whether he'll be allowed to eat his hot dog. If it's over at her place no way. That is yet another thing that may or may not get him killed by her brother. But if it's just the two of them....

Maybe. Then again maybe she is also traumatized by hot dogs at the movies. Who can say.

With a huff she takes a few more aggressive bites from her sandwich, pretty quickly finishing it off.]

I guess I could let you know. Since you're my boyfriend.

[Actually that'd be pretty nice? Watching a movie with Hajime...doesn't even have to be a romance one. Could be action. Action movies are always good in her book. Maybe a comedy if it's the right kind of humor?]

[hopefragment]

[Why are there so many things that could get him killed by her brother... protect him...

Ah, no, he's grinning again. She did it she called him her boyfriend. Everything's coming up Hajime, winning every day.]

Ah, thanks. I appreciate it.

[But he turns his attention to the rain outside, shaking his head. What if they're stuck here...? They still have homework to work on, ugh. Though he has no idea if he's even going to be able to focus on that now.]

Maybe this weekend... we can do something like that...? If you don't have any other plans, I mean.

[tookforgranite]

[She'll try. But still makes no promises.

Don't get ahead of yourself Hajime! Get too full of yourself and it'll really suck when your luck runs out. But if they're stuck there that's okay...at least they're stuck together? And besides who wants to do homework!]

This weekend?

[She gives that some thought. Was there...anything she needed to do over the weekend? She's pretty sure it's clear...she can't remember any plans or obligations she has.]

Sure, this weekend's fine. Are we going out or watching in? I don't know what's playing in any of the theatres around here...

[hopefragment]

[Ugh he's gotta do his homework-! He needs to get good grades and stay in this school don't judge him.

He's just going to keep munching on his kusamochi while she thinks about it, interspersing it with sips of tea. He can't believe he's actually talking about something like this so casually. Seeing a movie with his girlfriend...? This has to be a dream, right?]

Aah... that's up to you. If the rain's going to keep up for a couple days, it might not be a bad idea to hole up on campus and stay in, you think?

[Also, cuddling? Cuddling. Cuddling is what he's thinking about, even if going out to a movie is probably the better date.]

Do you like yakuza films...? We could watch one of the old ones, maybe.

[He doesn't want to assume! Maybe she's the type who gets mad when things aren't right in movies.]

[tookforgranite]

If we're staying in, we'll have to get plenty of snacks! And no complaining when I get caramel popcorn. You can get your own kind if you don't like it.

[And that is the end of that discussion. Putting a stake in that coffin before he's even allowed to try and argue. As if this is an argument she's had before...]

But I guess I like some yakuza films. Oh, if we're going to watch those, I'll borrow some of oniichan's collection! He's really into the old stuff, and he has pretty good taste usually! Have you seen The Yakuza Papers? That's his favorite set. There are like eight or nine movies that are considered part of that series, but the first five are the really good ones.

[And, if he gives her the chance, she'll start listing off a few more, counting them on her fingers and describing them as she does so. "I guess I like some yakuza films" she says.]
