"Hey, Jyuu, guess what I borrowed off Kurosaki-san?"
"Um…special 'real world' sake?"
"No. Though that would have been good."
"Oh. What is it then? And please get your hands off my eyes; I already know who you are, Shunsui. It kind of ruins the surprise if the person being surprised already knows the surprisee is."
"It's a video!"
"We don't have a video player."
"Nuh uh! We do now! I borrowed that as well!"
"Cool."
"Wanna watch it with me?"
"Yeah, fine. What film is it?"
"Forrest Gump."
Jushiro sighed and took the large hands off his eyes. He leant his head backwards and stared up into his best friend's warm, brown eyes. Shunsui grinned and did the peace sign with his fingers, before turning around and running towards the TV, shouting excitedly "You'd better get your ass off that chair and come over here."
"We're watching it now? But I've still got loads of work to do. Can't we watch it later?" replied Jushiro wearily, scanning the mounds of uncompleted paperwork in front of him with disdain.
"You can do your work later. This is more important," protested Shunsui, as he plugged the various wires into the TV, looking slightly confused at where to put them.
"Yeah, Forrest Gump is definitely more important than getting personally grilled, literally, by Genryuusai-sensei for not handing my paperwork in on time."
"Yes!"
Jushiro grinned slightly at his friend's immunity to sarcasm.
"In any case," said Shunsui, as he successfully plugged in all the right cables and beamed proudly, "You need a break from work once in a while. And this is your kind of film; it has sad bits, happy bits and funny bits. It has a bit of everything really."
Jushiro smiled and said jokily "Well, it's much better than those porno films you wanted me to view."
Shunsui scowled. "I was drunk!"
"Okay, okay," said Jushiro, putting his hands up in defence and laughing, "Let's just watch it."
He stood up and walked over to the corner of the rooms. He grabbed two big, red, squishy beanbags and pulled them to the centre of the room, in front of the TV.
"Okay, Jyuu-kun, it's in and set up! Shall we start?" asked Shunsui excitedly, as he plopped himself down on one of the beanbags and sunk down comfortably.
"Yeah, hang on," replied Jushiro. He shook his sleeve and a couple of bags of sweets fell out. He grinned and shook his other sleeve too; making bags of marshmallows fall out. Then he reached inside his haori and uncovered dozens of mini packets of gummy bears, murmuring "I was meant to save these for Shirou-chan, but I can buy more for him later, I suppose."
He glanced up and laughed loudly at Shunsui's expression.
"I call Hitsugaya-taichou Shirou-chan, because we both have white hair and we both have shiro in our names and…" he explained patiently, thinking that was the reason the other man was so gobsmacked, but he was interrupted by Shunsui.
"I already know that. I was just surprised at how you can fit so many sweets in your haori, without anyone noticing!" he exclaimed, pointing at Jushiro in shock.
"Oh! Right! Well, that's my secret," replied Jushiro mysteriously. He winked and laughed again at his friend's face, before settling down in his beanbag and dumping the sweets in the space between them. "Let's go!"
Shunsui beamed and pressed 'play' on the remote, and the film started.
