Woot! It's summer time at my location, and you know what that means? I'm back! I have missed writing fanfiction! I am so happy to be back, and guess what guys! I was able to write all of the remaining chapters for Teenage Counselor! Let's all do a hapy dance!
Chapter 7
Movie
"Please guys," Tyson pleaded with his teammates, who only gave him strange looks. "I really want to see this movie!"
"If you want to see it so bad, go by yourself," Kai growled, placing his hand on his temple, trying to ease the urge to strangle Tyson with his bare hands.
Tyson pouted. "Because it isn't as fun watching a movie by yourself."
"Normally I'd be happy to go with you Tyson, but your choice of film isn't in my best interest." Max gave Tyson a comforting pat on the back as he explained. "I'm sorry, but I do not want to see…what's it name?"
"Does it matter? It's a good movie!"
Max frowned at the lack of an answer from Tyson, but didn't press it. Instead he tried to further explain his reasoning for not wanting to see the nameless movie. "It sounds like one of those pointless films where it's only funny if you like sick humor, or jokes about stereotypes."
"But Hilary saw it yesterday when we were talking to the counselor, and she said it was hilarious!" Tyson practically screamed. If Hilary said the movie was funny then it had to be. That girl was no pushover, and tended to go for more sophisticated stuff.
"Hilary?" Rei repeated the name as if it were foreign to him. "I can't see Hilary watching a trashy movie like the one you described. Besides, how can we see a movie that we don't know the name of?"
"I know its name," Tyson stubbornly held his ground. "I just can't remember it right now, but once I see its name I'll be able to point it out. Also," he began on a less aggressive tone. His posture losing tension as he continued with his persuasive methods. "If Hilary was willing to see a 'trashy' movie, then that 'trashy' movie has to be pretty good one."
Kai could feel his anger starting to get the better of him. Why did Tyson have to be so stubborn? He'd have to come up with something before he did something drastic, like smash Tyson's head into the nearest hard object. "If we go, you'll have spend the whole day training tomorrow."
"Deal!" Tyson cried, he knew with Kai that was the best he was going to get, and he'd take it even if his muscles would be sore tomorrow for it. "Thanks Kai!"
Kai should of seen what was coming next, but like a fool he had been too busy plotting the destruction of the world to notice the bluenette that was throwing himself at him, and clinging to Kai's waist. Kai stiffened at the contact. He felt Tyson nuzzling his cheek into his chest. If he were a weaker man he would have blushed, but luckily he was a heartless jerk that didn't give a damn, so instead he shoved Tyson off him.
"Do that again, and I'll triple your training." To add to his point, Kai gave Tyson a nasty glare.
Tyson grinned back, not noticing or caring about the glare. He was happy he would get to see his movie. "Whatever you say Kai."
X.X.X.X.X.X.X.
The movie theater was… empty. Okay, maybe not completely empty, the Bladebreakers were there, and there were two teenage girls sitting in the very back row, but other than that there was no one. That wasn't a good sign for the movie. Maybe it wasn't as good as Tyson had made it out to be?
Max sighed exasperatedly and slumped in his seat. As fun as it was to have the theater to themselves, the empty room did not bode well for the movie. As the lights dimmed he silently dreaded what was to come.
However, halfway through the film Max found himself trying to hold back laughter. He recognized the scene on the screen from one of the commercials he had seen.
On his right sat Rei, who was giving him an inquiring look. Max shook his head, signaling to Rei it was nothing. In response Rei turned his head back watch the movie.
With that settled, Max turned to his left and took some popcorn from Tyson, who was busy telling Kai to stop being such a spoilsport.
Max giggled, as the scene got closer to the punch line. It was probably the stupidest thing he would ever see in his life, but his immature side was enthralled with the dirty humor. Good thing most boys his age were expected in act like a moron at times, or else he would be feeling uncomfortable right now.
Once again Rei stared at Max when the blonde fought a chuckle.
In response, Max unconsciously laid his he head on Rei's shoulder, and tried to hold back his laughter. Again, Rei's reaction was to shrug, having decided to not question his friend. Instead he took advantage of his new headrest, and laid his head on top of the blonde's.
Max's tiny sounds of laughter were affecting him. They made Rei smile and made him have to fight his own urge to laugh. He didn't know what was so funny, but Max's amusement was contagious.
That's when the punch line came, and the few people, except grouchy Kai, laughed their heads off.
Max lost it. All the laughter he had been holding back came out, and like the domino effect Rei was soon following. The scene truthfully wasn't that funny, but Max had been building up with so much laughter that it didn't matter.
It was pure accident what happened next. Max tilted his head upwards slightly, causing Rei to move his head too, but the result was one that made both teens thankful they were in a dark theater with so few witnesses. Rei's lips smashed up against Max's and the two were frozen in place. Their eyes were wide with shock, and neither could pull or look away from the other. What was a person supposed to do in a situation like this?
"Hey, are you guys okay?" Tyson whispered, pulling them out of the trance they were in. They jumped apart, or as far apart as their seats would allow.
"You guys were laughing so hard and then stopped suddenly. What's wrong?" Tyson continued to prod.
Thinking fast, Max said in a pitiful voice, "Rei stole one of my Hershey's kisses." Tyson nodded his head, and Max detected a small laugh from the bluenette.
It was a good thing Tyson was oblivious by nature, or he would have noticed Max didn't have any Hershey kisses with him.
X.X.X.X.X.X.X.
"Hey, I'm going to use the restroom real quick," Tyson announced and dashed off in the direction of said place.
Kai didn't bother with waiting and marched towards the exit. "Hn. I'll be waiting outside," was his farewell.
That left Rei and Max. They leaned against one of the soft, red, theater walls. They would glance at each other, but upon being caught by the other, they would lower their eyes.
The air around them hummed with awkwardness. It was so thick the two felt like they were drowning in it. The awkwardness was terrible, and in an attempt to break it, Max was the first to speak. "So…? What did you think of the movie?"
"Uh…?" Rei started, unsure of what to say. He had been too stunned by their kiss for him to pay attention to the movie after that. Maybe the counselor had been correct about his feelings for Max after all. "Good?"
"You sound a little hesitant," Max laughed, relaxing a bit.
Rei chuckled and nodded his head. "That's because I am." Rei stated. "I was a little too preoccupied with my own thoughts to watch the movie."
"Oh." Max blushed. "About that…"
"I'm back!" Tyson announced, running up to met his friends. "Hey, where's Kai?"
Tyson, you're timing sucks. Rei and Max thought.
X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X.
Akira: So… has anyone besides me ever noticed how in most movie theaters the walls are covered with… carpeting (I know its not that, but it's the closest thing I can think of)?
