Theme 4.- Movie night

"You've got to be kidding me," Sakura said with a slacked jaw. Neji huffed and crossed his arms.

"It's the only movie I think I will enjoy," he countered, looking over the posters on display again. "Those two are movies for girls; that one is a horror movie and I know you don't like them, and that one is another Icha Icha, which we won't see."

Something in his voice made Sakura smirk.

"Why not?" she asked innocently. "For all we know, we can watch that one now. We're adults, you know, and besides..." she leaned to whisper on his ear, "we already re-enacted quite a few scenes from the books."

"Which is exactly why we won't see that one," Neji answered firmly, but Sakura knew better than to feel offended by his words, especially when that devious smirk from hell made its way to his lips. "I'm sure it can't teach us anything new."

To her dismay, she blushed heatedly at his narrowed eyes. Neji chuckled, slipping his blank façade on one more time and turned his head back to the ticket vendor.

"Two for Top Gun, please."

"Wait! Why don't we see The Princess Diaries? It seems nice enough."

Neji threw her a glare over his shoulder. "I won't see that movie."

"What about Rambo III?" she asked with a pout.

"I strongly dislike Stallone."

"But... Silent Hill?"

"Now that one might be good, but you're the one terrified of horror movies."

"Ugh, Neji! Let's watch Top Gun then!" she rolled her eyes at his triumphant smirk.

"I'm glad you could see it my way."

"...I don't like this movie."

"Shh! Maverick is going to-- oh my god, Neji, look at that loop! Those airplanes are fantastic!"

Neji glared at the screen, while Sakura gasped every time the plane shifted.

In the end, Sakura liked the film and Neji did not. And Sakura enjoyed his flaring scowl every single time she got to tease him by singing Maverick's song in the mornings.

Neji swore revenge on his pink-haired girl, which came in the form of a special midnight screening of Silent Hill.

Sakura didn't sleep that night, tossing and turning and whimpering at the slightest noise in their apartment. Neji decided he had had enough, so he moved on to drastic measures.

"See?" he cleared his throat as they left the cinema. "Nothing particularly new was learned."

"Yeah," Sakura agreed, sporting a rather violent blush. "I wonder why it is that Jiraiya-sama can be so close-minded regarding plots and stories on the big screen."

A silence stretched, then Neji leaned to whisper on her ear.

"Want to try out the roof scene?"

"Oh,yes, please."

That was better both for them and the rest of the village, Sakura laughed out loud atop the Fourth Hokage's stone head. Neji smirked at the clear night sky.

From that day on, they rented the movies instead of seeing them at the cinema.
