At the movies

"Irina, did you really have to buy a huge bag of popcorn?" Karasuma stared at the overly large sized popcorn bag that sat on the arm rest of the chairs, dumbfounded. He shifted his eyes to Irina, realizing that the bag was as big as at least 2 heads stacked on top of each other! Irina wrapped an arm around the bag and only giggled. "It's been so long since I've eaten popcorn or even been to a movie theatre!" she squealed, swinging her legs back and forth excitedly. Her face shined with joy and that made Karasuma smile, though a small one so it wouldn't be noticeable. "And besides," she continued. "I wanted to get enough to share with you!" She said this with a tone of voice that spoke 'As a matter of fact' and Karasuma couldn't help but sigh. He raised his hand above the bag to grab just a small handful of popcorn and popped them into his mouth, the taste of butter caused him to slightly cringe. "I could've settled with a smaller bag you know. I don't really eat much of this stuff anyway." he told her, taking a smaller amount of popcorn this time. Irina only gave him a shrug. "Ah well, too late now!" As Karasuma turned to the blank screen, Irina took a huge amount of popcorn, her happy expression switching to a naughty grin. She lightly tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned to look at her to ask "What is it?" she instantly shoved the popcorn straight into his mouth (and entire face) and he let out a muffled scream, the popcorn and her hand making him unable to screech too loud. She bursted out with laughter as Karasuma spat out the snack onto the floor, which covered the surface in front of them, his clothes included. "What the hell was that for?!" he snarled at her, wiping his lips with his sleeve. "Sorry! I can't finish this all by myself and you taking such itty bitty amounts of it doesn't help!" she snapped, her laughter coming to a slow stop. She slipped her hand into her purse and snatched a few napkins. Taking one, she faces Karasuma and lifted the napkin in front of him. "Here." she says, wiping his lips for him. Once she lowered her hand, both of them peeped a chuckle, the two of them thinking the exact same thing. 'Déjà vu much.' Karasuma glanced down at the ground. "We're gonna have to clean this up." he informed her, getting her hand as an answer. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, later. It's about to start!" Unsatisfied with that reply, he simply looked back at screen as the lights began to dim, it was was about to start...

All the way at the back of the room, 2 familiar characters arrive at the scene, hiding behind the chairs at the last row. "There they are! You see 'em?" "KARMA I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Karma jolted up from the sudden yell which still was a whisper. Y'know, those really loud whispers? "Okay, okay! Just... shhh be quiet, alright Nagisa?" he hushed to his friend, sounding tense as he wished for no one to notice. "I thought you said to let them be alone? Together? Without us stalking them? What happened to that?!" Nagisa struggled to stay quiet, worrying over the fact that they just snuck in there, slipping through security. Sure they were successful, but if they get caught they're done for! Karma, knowing what Nagisa was thinking raised both hands in front of Nagisa as if defending himself. Nagisa sat there quietly, waiting for his red headed friend to respond. His eyes affixed on him, though calm looked very stern. Karma only chuckled, his own eyes directed at the other set and shot like daggers. He didn't like them, it was unsettling to have those eyes glaring at him, though of course he wouldn't admit it out loud. Nagisa was his friend after all, might as well get used to them. No matter how unsettling his stare may be, it's always amusing to see that side of him. "Well," he started. "Really, I felt the need to supervise those two, especially Mr.K." He peeped his head out more, his eyes scanning the premises for any security. Realizing they were safe, he signaled to Nagisa to follow his lead. Nagisa only stared blankly at him, examining Karmas expression thoroughly. Karma gazed at him, seemingly mischievous, though Nagisa grasped how serious or relatively conflicted he might've been which tempted him to pursue Karma. Nagisa looked around cautiously for a few moments and finally decided to give in. He crawled towards Karma, heading to the next few rows of chairs to get closer to the couple. Crouched down, they reached the closest row that had empty seats, managing to slip through a few people to get there. "Excuse me, sorry..." Nagisa whispered politely, repeating those same words as he walks by more people until they made it to the seats. "Why supervise? Haven't you given him enough advice, no scratch that, a huge lesson on how to handle this?" Nagisa urged Karma to give him answers he desired, endeavoring to avoid being forceful. Karma turned to look at him, however unsuccessful due to the lack of light in the room which somewhat made him feel grateful. "I have. In fact I believe I have told him all he needed to know to handle a girl, specifically Bitch sensei. However..." He trailed off, going back to the movie. Nagisa glared at him intently. "What?!" He demanded loudly than expected, earning him hushes from the crowd which was very discomforting for him so he just shifted in his seat awkwardly. "S-Sorry..."

Irina laid her head on Karasuma, making him flinch a bit but kept his eyes on the movie so he wouldn't create the impression of acting suspicious. Irina sighed lightly, slightly grinning. "This movie is so...fake. I mean don't get me wrong, all movies are fake but this one is just... I don't know." Karasuma looked at her in astonishment. Definitely not the reaction Irina expected. "Really? I thought I was the only one who thought that. A person in the right mind would've never taken out a gun during a situation like that." Irina sat up, nodding her head suddenly gaining a burst of energy. "Yeah, yeah, yeah! And also that guy they were chasing who's apparently from France, had their pronunciation all wrong! That killed me on the inside." she winced as she tried not to re imagine the scene but failed unfortunately. "Hm, and I thought movies were required to have professionals but I guess I was incorrect about that." Karasuma scowled but smirked it off. "Hmph, no kidding!" Irina scoffed as she crossed her arms, and faced the movie screen only to be cringing at the scene. She shook her head as if she tasted something sour in her mouth which caused Karasuma to chuckle at the sight. She facepalmed. "Ugh, and don't get me started on that other guy."

Even if the movie was terrible in their eyes, they were still having a great time. Nagisa was fond of watching the two teachers enjoy themselves, especially Karasuma. He's been stressed out for a while due to the work he had to do and he never really shows any emotion when it comes to things like entertainment. But seeing him delight in something like this and loving Irina's company was really heartwarming. Karma appeared to be the same. Ignoring the fact that the two teachers were complaining about the little things in the movie that would have surely ticked him off a bit, he still was content of what was happening so far and that made him relieved. Nagisa gave Karma a questioning look, noticing Karma's change of emotion. Karma, his attention still on the two teachers, breathed out heavily, hinting disappointment. "Damn, I never told him about THAT though."
