Shino looked in the mirror as she tried to pick an outfit. She was only going to the theater with friends but she was worried what Kazuto would think if she showed up looking as bland as usual.
The outfit she currently wore was a grey long sleeved shirt accompanied with a pair of black leggings. She looked okay but she felt like her hair contrasted with her shirt. She couldn't explain why it just didn't seem to fit.
Shino looked over to her bed where a different shade of grey shirt sat. Was that all she had? She looked through her zip style closet for another shirt. Grey, grey, black, grey, dark unappealing blue, and grey…. She could have sworn she had more than just dark colors. The zipper closed loudly before shino walked over to her bed to compare the different colors.
Shino pondered a while before deciding on the first shirt with a sigh. She at least had a blue jacket she was gifted by her grandpa. She zipped the hoodie up to just below the collar of her shirt.
"Beep" Shino jumped as she realized the sound came from an outside Kazuto. Her blood started to pump harder as her excitement rose. She grabbed her high top sneakers, and hastily tied them before practically sprinting out the door and down the stairs.
Kazuto sat on his bike, his helmet visor flipped up, "hey Shino! Are you ready?" he asked holding out the other helmet. She knew he was dating asuna but couldn't help but blush at his attention.
"Y-yea I'm ready!" she said smiling shyly, mentally kicking herself for stuttering. She must've look so stupid!
She took the helmet and hopped on the back, grabbing Kazuto's midsection hesitantly. Shino blushed harder as Kazuto grabbed her hands and positioned them tighter around him, telling her to hold on tighter.
They sped through the streets up to the small movie theater where everyone else was waiting outside. Shino had never been to this particular theater as it looked more like a local restaurant from an unknown town, rather than a movie theater on the edge of Tokyo.
As she hopped off she was greeted with everyone saying hi at the same time with eerie unison. Rika stepped forward and threw her arm around Shino's neck with a mischievous grin, "how'd you enjoy your ride eh?" she chuckled as Shino blushed and stumbled over her thoughts and stuttered out a jumble of different words. "Oh relax! I'm just giving you shit!" Rika laughed as she stepped toward the door, "now kick your asses into high gear i'm freezing." silica squeaked out an approval.
"Now just wait a sec guys we are still waiting for Klein." Asuna said cheerily.
Kazuto shook his head sighing, "Actually he called me before i went to pick up Shino, he got held up at work and couldn't make it. Sugu had practice so she couldn't make it either." everyone else looked less disappointed than Kazuto however as they walked into the lobby.
"So what do we wanna see? Oh and does anybody else want to help me get the popcorn?" Asuna asked the group.
Silica piped up excited, "i'll help with snacks!"
"I feel like we should watch a chick flick, most of us are girls ya know." Rika said pointing the attention toward Kazuto.
"Oh, uh… w-well i guess it's not a big deal or anything. I wanted to see an action film but i guess it can wait." he said feigning a laugh. Just then the door swung open sending a chill breeze into the room. An older looking teen with entered the theater with a hasty walk as he shivered. He wore a grey beanie covering most of his head but stopping just above his eyebrows leaving a clump of hair sticking out from under above his left eye. He had a pair of black glasses that were fogged up from the change in temperature. His jacket was a thick winter coat with another thinner jacket underneath.
He looked… nice… Shino blushed as she realized she was staring.
"Hey Danny!" Kazuto cheered towards the guy. He looked up and smiled warmly towards them. He reached for his ear and pulled out what looked to be an earbud coming from under the coat.
"Hey Kazuto," his voice rang inside Shino's head. It was pleasantly deep and gave her a sense of comfort. "Still a ladies man i see." he laughed and walked up towards the group. Rika glared at him as he approached. "And you're still not." She said cooly.
"Oh no, i'm doing great Rika thanks for asking" he said condescendingly, " and just how is little Rika doing?" Rika got in his face, seemingly about to hit him before she broke off and laughed, "Hey Danny," she pulled him into a hug, "How are you doing… after, well you know." he hugged her back before sighing and ignoring the question entirely.
Shino had trouble reading his character. She couldn't tell if he was mean, kind, smart, funny, cool, or even just friendly. He seemed alright for the most part though.
"So! What brings you to the theater," he walked over to the counter before pulling his coat off revealing a grey jacket matching his beanie. "What are ya feeling? comedy? Romance? Action?" he asked joyously putting a small smile on Shino's face. "Who's the new addition?" she blushed when she as mentioned.
"Danny this is Shino Asada," Kazuto spoke up, "she's the one who helped me with the death gun incident." Shino looked at him shyly and quietly greeted him. "Shino this is Daniel Gray, he's a fellow survivor of SAO and a good friend."
He put his hand out, "Nice to meet you Shino, Kazuto has spoke fondly you." she blushed as Kazuto stuttered out an embarrassed, "w-w-we-well i-i mean yea… she is cool and stuff." Dan laughed as he explained.
Asuna spoke up chuckling, "We are looking for a good chick flick. Got any good suggestions?"
"Well it depends on the specific genre but the best one out right now is definitely _" he said, "although there is this new fantasy romance set in the Alfheim universe"
Kazuto's eyes lit up, "Really? Is it good?" Asuna and the others also seemed interested as Dan explained the main plot.
They quickly bought the tickets and the food, all with a special discount from Dan. Shino was sure he was really nice. He seemed sad when Rika asked if he was doing well. She wondered what that was all about, maybe he was going through one of those times like Kazuto and herself where. Regardless, she knew she felt bad and was now curious.
