We entered the theater and looked at the movies. "Let's see. Taiya, do you want to see a comedy, or an action movie?" We glanced at each other and shook our heads in unison. Our entire life was an action film, and we produced enough comedy between the two of us. I turned my attention back to the board, and gasped. I nudged L and whispered in his ear. "L. Miyazaki-san has a new movie! Hauru no ugoku shiro, Howl's Moving Castle. That sounds really exciting." "Would you like to see it, Taiy-chan?" "Sure, L!" "It's settled then." He strode up to the ticket booth and purchased both of our tickets. He came back, a triumphant smile on his face. "L!" I whispered furiously. "I thought you said that we would each pay for our own!" He wrapped an arm around my waist and propelled me forward. "I know, but I really wanted to pay for yours. I want to treat you, take care of you." He turned his head to the side and made puppy eyes. "You don't mind, do you?" I blushed and grinned. "…No, I guess I don't." "Good." He kissed me and then headed up to the counter to buy sweets. Hmm. It's a good thing we came early- we could be here for a while. I giggled again. Also good that I brought extra money. "I'll have a medium popcorn and two ramunes." "Anything else for you today, sir?" "Yes. I'll have one package of strawberry gummies, one bag of kiwi gummies, one bag of doughnut holes, a bag of lollipops, orange pocky , a Hershey's bar, a bag of M&M's, three packs of chocolate Yan-Yan, and…chocolate pocky." The attendant could barely suppress a laugh, "Is that all, sir?" "Yes, it is. Could I have a bag, please?" "Certainly. Enjoy the show." "Thanks." We gathered all of the sweets up into the bag and L hauled it off to the theater. Once there, L arranged all of the candy around us just as if we were at home. I giggled and helped him. In a minute we had got it all done and sat back to enjoy the movie. He put his arm around me and we snuggled together, perfectly content in our own little world.
