…
Neji stood outside the movie theatre nervously. He glanced very way to make sure that no one he knew had noticed him. He wished that Hinata would hurry up and get there. It was embarrassing enough to be standing awkwardly outside the building but when only one movie was playing and it was this movie…
He had considered running away and telling Hinata later that he had suddenly gotten a headache or he had been summoned to the Hokage but he knew she would check up on his story after the protest he had given last night when she had suggested that they go see this movie.
He watched as several men were dragged into the movie theatre by their girlfriends, all with self sacrificing and glazed over looks on their faces. Neji chuckled nervously to himself as he glanced down the street. He had already purchased the tickets to the movie to his undying embarrassment and all he needed now was for Hinata to get here so she could pick out snacks.
His first instinct had been to run when she had decided that she wanted to see this movie but like all good boyfriends that did not want to be denied access to one of their favorite things in the world he had allowed her to bring him to this…Monstrosity.
He had half expected there to be a man outside the theatre demanding that he hand over his man card. He had been willing to get into an argument and potentially embarrass himself with said argument but thankfully the only men he had seen were others in the same boat as him.
He almost felt sorry for those other unlucky guys since they were only doing it for the same reason Neji himself was: to make their girlfriends happy and potentially have a make out session in the movie theatre. He groaned at that thought. Hinata was so prim and proper she would never agree to make out with him in a movie theatre. He made a face. He was ready to leave his post and forget this whole silly affair when he spotted the familiar lithe body in an easy gait walking toward him.
A smile came to his lips and all thought of leaving disappeared as she slid up to his side and smiled at him. "We ready?" her grin made his heart skip a beat and he nodded.
"I have the tickets, was just waiting for you to find out what type of snack you wanted," he followed her into the theatre like a puppy, something she noted.
"Sorry I'm late," she said as she studied the board proclaiming all the junk food she could ingest. "Hanabi needed me to help her with the report she is writing."
He nodded, not caring about Hanabi. His youngest cousin could have been threatening to jump off of Hokage Monument with her hair on fire and he still probably wouldn't have cared. He didn't much like Hanabi.
"I think I just want popcorn," Hinata decided.
Neji nodded and ordered a large popcorn and a large soda for himself. Hinata grabbed a handful of napkins and they proceeded into the movie theatre. Not to his surprise it was more than half full with most of the prime seats taken. He would have preferred to sit in the back where he could have made a quick escape but Hinata had other ideas. They ended up smack dap in the middle of a row five rows too close to the screen for comfort.
As soon as they sat down Neji knew that he was not going to enjoy where they were sitting as the couple in front of them had already decided to ignore the movie that hadn't even started yet for a heavy make out session. He sneaked a glance at Hinata to see what she thought of the display in front of them but she was happily munching on the popcorn and ignoring the couple. He sighed and snuck lower into the seat. It was going to two of the worst hours of his life.
When the opening credits started to roll the couple finally decided to stop with their actions and watch the movie though Neji highly suspected that the man was doing something indecent to the woman all throughout the movie by the noises she was making. He was almost grateful to them in a way for distracting him from the movie but on the other hand if he had really wanted to see some porn he could have rented the Icha Icha movie and watched it in the privacy of his own home.
Of course Hinata didn't seem to notice any of this being fully absorbed in the movie. Neji glanced over at her again, not trying to hide the fact he was watching her and saw her eyes wide and sparkling, something that only happened when she was honestly enjoying something. After exhausting his staring contest with her ear he finally rested his head back against the seat and closed his eyes. He blocked out the dialogue by reciting all the forms of the Jūken backwards then forwards.
He felt himself drifting off and didn't stop his body from taking refuge in the blissful unconsciousness.
Somehow he managed to wake up to see the dramatic climax of the movie and had to suppress a groan at how bad it was. He was sure a two-year-old could have come up with a better plot and characters. In fact he was sure that even an inanimate object could have come up with a better plot.
He almost stood up and cheered when the credits started rolling. He was sure if he did, however, everyone else would stand and cheer as well. Only they would be cheering because they liked the movie and not his reason of being happy that it was finally over.
He was content to allow all the other people in the theatre to leave first so he wouldn't be pressed closer than he ever wanted to be with another person. He glanced over at Hinata and found her watching him with a small smile on her face.
"What?" He asked as he finally stood and stretched.
"You," her grin got wider. "You hated the movie and yet you were willing to stick it out for me."
"Well," he tried to think up something witty but failed. "Anyway," he said as he gathered their garbage. "Now what?"
She shrugged. The smile was still gracing her lips and he felt his heart start rebelling against its normal rhythm.
"Thank you," she grinned before placing a kiss on his cheek. "I know you really didn't want to be here and you only did it for me."
"You're welcome," he said.
"Besides," she said as they left the theatre, "That really wasn't that good of a movie."
He turned to her and stared. "Just wait," he growled. "I'm going to complain about it the whole walk home."
"Even though you fell asleep and only saw about ten minutes of it, tops?"
"Especially since I fell asleep," he growled.
She let out a soft laugh. "Well, then. Please tell me what you truly thought of Twilight."
...
Oh yeah, I went there. ;p Poor Neji.
