Shino was not prepared for how fun the ride there would be. They got there after what seemed like no time at all, but in reality it had been more than fifteen minutes.
Shino's legs were slightly wobbly from her tensing up so much, but she was looking forward to the ride home. She tried to take a few steps, but stumbled a little. Fortunately, Isaiah caught her. She thanked him with a nod, and then she stretched them out a little before they began to walk to the theatre.
"So now we can chose, a scary movie, or an action movie." Isaiah said.
Shino mentally shuddered at the thought of seeing all those people shot to pieces. "Horror. I want to watch the horror movie."
Isaiah shuddered a little. "If you insist."
He paid for the tickets before they walked together to the movie. It hadn't started yet, so they chose seats near the end of the row at the top.
The movie took a while to start, but when it did, Shino was more worried about how the arm rest was done, and the warm body next to hers. At any time, she could lean over and rest on him. That thought was plucked out of her head when the demons started to pour into the people, changing them into black skinned, clawed, hunched over being that would hunt the people through the sewers and an apartment movie.
Shino didn't care that it might be awkward later, she just wanted to feel safe. She ended up resting against him with his arms around her. She was almost to the point of always having her eyes clenched shut whenever it was a scene with a demon.
Finally, the movie ended, and Isaiah walked out of the theatre with Shino pressed hard against his side.
He led her back to the motorcycle. She climbed on after him and held on to his waist like a life line, 'I hate scary movies.' She thought to herself.
They rode quickly to the restaurant, where they were seated almost immediately. "There isn't very many good things at this place. But when Manny's on duty, the hamburgers are pretty good."
Shino didn't even look at the menu. "I guess I'll have that then."
Isaiah grinned at her. "You are a lot more beautiful outside of GGOL."
Shino blushed. "Thank you."
The waitress showed up and asked, "What can I get you two." Then she saw Isaiah, "Oooh, Isaiah, you finally got a date. Good for you. I assume you want the usual."
Isaiah didn't respond, "Yes please."
She turned to Shino. "That same? It's just a burger with everything but pickles, mustered, onions, and peppers."
"Yes please." Shino said.
"Alright, so what do you want to drink?"
"Lemonade for me." Isaiah said.
"Same."
"Alright, I'll bring those out in a minute."
Dinner went by fast. They didn't really talk much. After dinner, they walked a half a block to a small park, where Shino assumed they would walk.
The sun was barely setting when they started, and it painted the skyline a pretty shade of orange.
"So, how do you know Asuna?"
Shino thought for a second. "I met her when I transferred to AOL. I had met her boyfriend, Kazuto, in GGOL, and I transferred over for a change in pace."
"Is Kazuto called Kirito online?" He said.
"Yeah, how did you know?" she asked while shivering a little, it was getting colder.
He slipped off his jacket and gave it to her. "I remember him from, somewhere else." He changed the subject suddenly, "We should get you some, it's getting dark."
On the way back to the bike, she explained to him where they would meet up in AOL, and what time.
"Alright, I think I got it." He said as she got on the bike.
Shino smiled at him, and then grabbed him around the waist. He started slower, then sped up quickly.
