Maka squeaked and involuntarily grabbed Soul's arm.
"I-is it over? " she whispered, not letting go of him. She was almost sure her grip could potentially cut off his blood circulation, but she didn't care. This was serious business.
He smirked, but didn't pull away. "Geez, Maka, if you're really that scared, we don't have to- "
"Yes, we do! " she insisted. "Tsubaki said she and Black*Star- "
Soul rolled his eyes. "You know, there's this thing called peer pressure- " he was cut off by a small shriek.
"That's it, I'm turning the lights back on. " Why she even wanted them off, he didn't even know.
"No, don't! "
But he had already detached himself from her death grip and was on his feet.
"You're not up for hardcore stuff like this yet, Maka. "
She sighed in resignation. He was right.
"So how was the movie? " Tsubaki asked.
"Disgusting. Gory. Totally- "
"I don't think you're in any position to be criticizing it seeing as you didn't even make it past the first five minutes. "
"Shut up, Soul. "
"Aww, don't feel bad, Maka. The only reason Tsubaki got through the whole thing was because she had the self-assuring presence of the great Black*Star with her. Isn't that right, Tsubaki?"
Tsubaki's face reddened. "Y-yes.. "
Maka rubbed her temple. "It's all Stein's fault, " Maka complained. "What kind of teacher tells his students to watch gross videos for extra credit? "
"Stein, " everyone else chorused, shuddering.
"Extra credit is so not worth it, " Liz said after a while.
"Well, I liked it! " Patti announced, hardly surprising anyone at the lunch table.
Black*Star cocked his head to the side. "You guys watched it too? "
"Unfortunately, " Liz sighed, examining her nails. "I couldn't even get through the first half. "
"I watched it twice! " the younger Thompson declared proudly.
Soul raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth twitching up. "Wait, so if you guys saw it... did Kid-? "
"Yep! " Patti confirmed, giggling.
"Let's just say... it was a little too much for him, " Liz explained. "He almost had a stroke when the mutilated turnip man showed up. "
"Oh, I was wondering what was wrong with him, " Maka thought out loud, secretly feeling lucky that she'd been too chicken to finish watching.. it.
Everyone turned to Kid, who was rocking back and forth in his seat, hugging himself. And as if on cue...
"...WHERE HAS ALL THE SYMMETRY GONE?" Kid yelled suddenly, snapping out of his daze.
"Are you.. alright? " Tsubaki looked worried.
"Don't worry, he'll get over it, " Liz said, trying to sound reassuring.
"..MONSTROUS ASYMMETRICAL ABOMINATIONS! DIE, DIE, DIE! "
"...in a couple million years. "
