Saturday morning: Grimmjow's P.O.V.
*buzz…buzz*
"mmmh…wha'the hELL?!" you said sleepily to yourself. The time on your phone said 10:13 am. You swore under your breath and checked the message.
$hellafoxy3chickmagnet$ : Ran-chan and I are going to see a movie,
Care to join?
Xmyfist_yourfaceX6 : You f*ckin woke me up to ask me that
God dam question? Piss off Gin.
$hellafoxy3chickmagnet$ : It starts 10:55, Ran heard its suppost 2 be
busy later, so we wanna go early.
Xmyfist_yourfaceX6 : Then go, you don't f*ckin need me to
chaperon.
$hellafoxy3chickmagne$ : lol, but if u come, Ran wont talk so much
during the show & I'll actually get to enjoy a movie for once.
You sighed deeply, running your hand over your forehead and through your messy hair.
Xmyfist_yourfaceX6 : what movie?
…
You were waiting for Gin and Rangiku outside the theater.
"Hey Grimmjow! Ready for some COWBOY action?!" Rangiku yelled and went to give you a hug. You gave her a warning glance.
"Keep your tramp in check will ya?" you said to Gin. Rangiku made a face.
"You gonna let him talk to me like that?!" she whined. Gin gave her a grin,
"Well, he does have a point babe. Besides, you know he hates it when you get touchy around him."
"Aw I'm sorry Grimmjow, I guess I forgot…" she said carelessly, patting your cheek. You brushed her hand away with disdain, you never really liked Rangiku. She was f*cking hot, sure, but annoying as Hell.
"Tch, can we go watch the f*ckin movie now."
Gin punched you jokingly and you both ½ wrestled your way inside. It took forever to buy tickets because Rangiku kept yakin to the guy at the counter.
"I'm so glad you finally asked her out Shunsui!" Rangiku said in a gossipy tone. Shunsui nodded.
"Now all I have to do is get her to marry me and have kids-OUCH!" Nanao (who also worked there) threw a box of sour patch kids at his head. "What?!" Shunsui pleaded.
"Stop blabbing to everyone about our business!" red-faced, she stomped passed Hiyori into the backroom.
"Aww, don't be like that Nanao-o. Sweet Nanao," Shunsui called, chasing after her, "Beautiful Nanao!" Gin and Rangiku laughed while you tried to rush them. I didn't get woken up early on a Sat. and pay for a movie just to get there late, you thought. As the 3 of you crossed the lobby, you saw a busty girl with long brown hair sweeping a popcorn spill. You thought she looked familiar when Gin said,
"Is that Saya?" The girl looked up with her big blue-green eyes on hearing her name.
"Oh…Hi Gi-AAHH!" she was cut off by a crushing hug from Rangiku.
"I didn't know you worked here Saya-chan!" While trying to pry Rangiku away from her, she said,
"Well now you know…" in a tone that sounded like she would have been happier if Rangiku DIDN'T know. You chuckled at that. So you weren't the only one who thought Rangiku was a pest.
"I love your shirt!" Rangiku said
"It's the uniform…Shunsui's wearing the same one…" Saya said with an expression that read 'You're an idiot Rangiku, please shut up now'.
"Well it looks good on you. I've never seen you in red," Gin said with his foxy smile. He had a point. You had only seen Saya wear her baggy black hoodie with blue jeans. The uniform was a snug red short-sleeved collared shirt with black pants. It revealed her curves, and toned arms and legs. Right when you were checking her out, she caught your eye. Shit, and you averted your gaze.
"So, what movie are you guys seeing?" she asked, changing the subject.
"True Grit," Rangiku said, "I thought it looked boring, but Gin wanted to see it, right sugar?"
"That's right, honey-bun" Gin smirked and kissed Rangiku lightly.
"Well you'd better hurry, previews already started." Saya said, going back to her sweeping.
"Tch," You said, "I knew we'd end up late." With that, you 3 walked away.
…..
Saya's P.O.V.
Well that was a bit awkward, you thought as you swept. You considered Gin your friend (thought were unsure if you actually liked him or not, you could never tell what the guy was thinking behind that squinty look), but you didn't really like Rangiku.
There were times when you regarded her as an acquaintance, but mostly you tried to avoid her. Her peppiness and hugginess was a bit too much for your liking.
I hope she's not that obnoxious during the show. But then you grinned to yourself at the thought of kicking them out. That was one of the perks to being the grunt of the theater; you were the one who 'removed' disruptive customers.
You were thinking of how Grimmjow's hair color reminded you of smurf ice cream when screen #14 got out. You held the door open for the exiting customers, and then went to clean the aisles and seat.
About 30 min. later…
The lobby was clear, so you went to concession to chat with Hiyori.
"How was Tangled?" she asked.
"Well it IS a kid's movie, so naturally: a disaster and there was a soda spill." Hiyori pointed and laughed,
"HAHA! That's what you get for being an Usher and not working Concession with me, Pasty Traitor!" she cried. You gasped over-dramatically,
"How DARE you! The sunlight is my enemy! Keeping to the shadows is my only defense!" You were the palest one in your pack, and everyone always teased you about it.
"PASTY! PASTY!" Hiyori chanted.
"You'll pay for that insult Snaggletooth!" Whipping out your IPod, you switched on the theme song from a certain video game. With broom in hand, you took a fighting stance. Hiyori laughed as she recognized the song. The techno beat started to build 'test your might' and with a battle cry you sang: "MORTAL KOMBAT!" And you proceeded to pretend-fight Hiyori.
…..
5 min. previous:
Grimmjow's P.O.V.
This is bullshit.
Gin and Rangiku had been giggling and flirting the whole time. You had already told them to shut it, but there was no getting through to them. The movie had actually caught your interest, so you were getting extremely pissed off.
1st he disturbs my sleep, then they're both f*ckin late & I have to borrow Gin $7.50 cuz he 'forgot' his wallet, and now they wont let me watch my god dam movie! Others in the theater were shooting glares in their direction. True, you didn't have the best of manners, but you knew enough to shut up when you're at a movie. You let out a huff of air.
"Gin, get her to shut up, or I will." You said in a low voice.
"Whatch ya gonna do about it, Grimmy-kun?" Rangiku teased loudly. That was it. You stood up, walked across Gin and Rangiku, and left the room. You needed to calm down before you ended up punching them both. You decided to get a snack or drink; you didn't really care as long as you could catch a break from those 2.
You sure can pick'em Gin, you thought sarcastically to yourself.
As you neared the lobby, a familiar song struck your ears. The hell?...the..Mortal Kombat theme? Curiously, you looked into the lobby to see Saya kicking and punching the air, using her broom like a sword. Hiyori was laugh and ducking behind the counter.
"GET OVER HERE!" Saya bellowed, mimicking the character Scorpion while stabbing her broom at Hiyori, who dodged and started throwing paper cups.
"BE-GONE WITCH!" Hiyori retorted. Saya skillfully smacked away every cup with the broom.
You laughed to yourself. It was a dorky, but impressive in a small way. Saya was in mid shout of the final 'MORTAL KOMBAT!' when she noticed you. Her blue-green eyes went wide with embarrassment, she nearly dropped her broom. Hiyori let out a roar of laughter, and Saya's face blushed a bright pink. She cleared her throat, holding back laughter,
"Excuse me," swiftly she swept up the cups littering the floor around your feet and disappeared from the lobby. A smirk was wide across your face as you watched her go.
…
Saya's P.O.V.
STUPID! STUPID! SON-OF-A-! WHAT THE HELL! YOUR SUCH AN IDIOT SAYA! You mentally punched yourself in the face repeatedly. How long had he been standing there?!
"ooohhh..…" you groaned. Well, if he didn't think I was weird before, he definitely knows it now.
Your thoughts were cut off on seeing 2 boys (looked about 13yrs) sneak into Black Swan, which was rated R. You strode down the hall, twirling your broom in your fingers (and dropped it, thankfully no one saw That). Why in the hell would two 13 year old BOYS wanna see BLACK SWAN?! You entered the theater preparing for their excuses.
…..
Grimmjow's P.O.V.
You were still laughing to yourself after you had bought a from Hiyori. I didn't think anyone beside me and Gin still remembered Mortal Kombat. Seeing that had made your shitty morning worth it. It had also sparked an interest towards Saya.
Since freshman year, you had thought she was pretty, and even funny, but pegged her as a high&mighty-goodie-goodie-Goth chick. She seemed like someone who you wouldn't get along with. But seeing her goofy personality had made you question that deduction. Just then Saya appeared in the hallway, walking with 2 young boys.
"…it was already s-starting, and since she w-was late, we just decided to go in." The taller of the 2 boys said nervously.
"Well, if your Mom does show up, then you can go back in," Saya said with an authoritative air. The other boy frowned. "I'm sorry, that's our policy," she said politely. The 2 left the theater, knowing that their plan had been busted.
Gin and Rangiku flashed across your mind.
"Hey…Minatsuki-san…" She turned with a curious face,
"You still out here, Jeagerjaques-kun ?" For some reason you felt a strange sensation in your gut on her saying your name.
"Ya, I needed to ask you something."
"Is something wrong with the movie?" she asked with a concerned, business-like expression.
"Rangiku and Gin won't shut up. People are getting pretty pissed off about it, including me." A small smirk pulled at her pink lips.
"I was wondering about that…I'll check it out in a bit."
When you entered the theater, Rangiku was on Gin's lap and it looked like they were eating each others faces. Sick. You threw Rangiku back into her seat, flicked Gin in the forehead, and stepped over them to your seat on the other side of Gin.
"You got a soda and didn't get me one?" Rangiku nagged.
"Shut up!" you snapped. Gin inquired what had taken you so long, but you ignored him. Once they started getting loud again, a silhouetted figure appeared at the bottom of the steps.
"Look! It's Saya-chan!" Rangiku waved obnoxiously. The figure glided swiftly up the stairs and entered your row, up to Rangiku.
"You guys are being quite disruptive," she said in a soft charismatic voice. "Normally, customers have 3 warnings before they have to leave the theater, but for you guys, I'll make an exception… This is your only warning," she whispered, the 3 of you all a bit taken-back by her change in attitude.
"I'll be checking in periodically, if I catch you being noisy again, I'll be forced to escort you out." She gave a sweet smile, "Enjoy the show." She then descended down the steps and vanished.
You chuckled while Gin and Rangiku sat, wide-eyed. They didn't speak for the rest of the movie.
When True Grit ended, you wanted to thank or say something to her, but saw how busy it had gotten. Clusters of people clogged the hallway and lobby.
Saya was weaving her way through the crowd, carrying 2 giant bags of trash in either hand; they looked like they weighed ½ her body weight.
…
Saya's P.O.V.
Move it ppl, MOVE IT! My arms are gonna fall off! You just needed to dump these in the bin in the back room, but Byakuya called you from across the concession stand.
"Yes, Boss?" you answered.
"It has been reported that a toilet in the women's bathroom has overflowed…take care of it." And with that he walked away.
Not knowing Grimmjow was watching, your face fell,
"Overflowing trashcans, overflowing toilets…geeze. What else could go wrong?"- Customers let out gasps as a kid puked all over the lobby floor.
". . ."
5 anime pans fell one by one on your head. You sighed. As you walked to the maintenance closest for a mop, with your peripheral vision you thought you spied Grimmjow snickering.
To be Continued…
…
Hope you liked it! And if you don't know what Mortal Kombat is (*tearing* you poor deprived child!) look it up.
