014./ what i do for you
She's sitting next to him, popcorn bag on her lap—she took it away from him half an hour ago, calling him greedy—her head tilted to the side as she watches the movie on the big screen. (When she asked him if he'd like to go to the cinema with her, he'd replied, Like a date? And she'd blushed, and said: Yes. Like a date.)
Hiyori shifts, slightly, and her elbow, lying on the armrest, brushes against his forearm. He feels himself blush.
"Ne, isn't this is really good, Yato?" She says, voice soft and eyes still watching the screen; he doesn't know if she's talking about the popcorn or the movie, but he nods, anyway, watching her.
(He finds that that happens a lot.)
Leaning back in his chair, he thinks. (About her, mostly—but about things like yen, too, and how much he'd like some of that popcorn. Like, really like it.)
Yato bites his lip to hide his grin; he slowly lifts his arm, above her shoulders, then, around them. (He tries to ignore the heat that skirts across his face; the soft hairs of her nape brushing against his forearm, the way she smells like soap and—) Then, arm around her, he reaches for the popcorn bag with outstretched fingers—
"—Y—Yato."
He stops—his heart does, too—and looks at her, "Y—Yeah?"
Hiyori blushes, and a smile peeks out across her face, "If you'd wanted to…put an arm around me—you could have asked. You don't have to sneak around."
"P—Put an arm around—?" Oh. Yato realizes. Then, blushes. (He flusters easily.) "I—I was reaching for the popcorn."
Hiyori's face turns redder. And then, it darkens to crimson. "Oh?" Her voice is tight. "Well—here." And she dumps the bag of popcorn on top of his head. Then, she crosses her arms, huffs, and turns her face back to the screen.
Yato watches her, bag on his head, and uses his free hand to take a fistful of popcorn, chewing on it thoughtfully.
(He wonders if she notices that he hasn't moved his arm.)
a/n: what do you think? was it for the popcorn-or hiyori?
