The 78th class had finally found common ground. (Except for Byakuya and Toko of course, that'll take a while. And maybe an apocalypse.) Some of the class had decided to poke fun at Makoto and Mukuro for the rest of the week. Well, Junko was the only one brave enough to make fun of Mukuro for her "date", so anyone else interested had to take it out on Makoto. Honestly, most of the class wasn't making fun of him, they were just showing genuine interest.
Leon, on the other hand, was definitely making fun of him.
"Makoto, I gotta hand it to ya. I was not expecting you to have that much balls. Like dude, you asked out the Ultimate Soldier! I mean, Jesus, I bet Chihiro or hell, even Sayaka would've said "yes" if you asked nicely and you really wanted a girlfriend, but noooo, big boy Makoto wants one of the Amazons."
"Leon, I wasn't asking her out! I just...wanted to talk to her, but since she didn't seem really into it, I thought that maybe if we hung out a bit she would warm up a little."
Leon just waves him off. "Sure, sure. Anyway, what's your plan?"
"What's my plan? We go to the movies and come back. That's the plan!"
"No, you idiot! The plan to make her your girlfriend! You gonna try the old yawn and arm around the shoulder? Or are you just gonna kiss when the characters do?"
"I'm not trying to get a girlfriend! I want Mukuro to talk to the rest of us more often."
"Dude that's it?" Leon asks in a disappointed tone. "You cannot actually be that pure. Like, if I asked Sayaka to go to the movies right now, I would do it with the intention of making her mine. You don't ask a girl to the movies just to go to the movies."
"Leon, I appreciate your help I really do." The sarcasm dripping from his voice said otherwise. "I think I can handle myself."
"Ok…" he was not convinced at all. "But even not speaking romantically or anything, you still gotta follow protocol."
"Protocol." he repeated in a dead tone.
"Before the movie, you gotta ask her if she wants anything from the snack bar. That stuff is overpriced as hell, but it makes a good impression. If it's a horror movie, hold her when she's scared. If it's a comedy, you gotta make excellent commentary and be laughing at the exact same parts. If you're crazy enough to see a romantic movie, you need to catch all the cues."
"What if it's an action movie?"
He grabs Makoto's shoulders and looks at him seriously. "Don't take a girl to an action movie."
"Then what the heck am I supposed to take her to? I'll be the one screaming at horror movies, and I bet she would just love it if I embarrassed her more by taking her to a romantic movie."
"But dude, when she's embarrassed, she's vulnerable! You can totally use that to your advantage!"
"Ok, I think I'm done now. You were a great help Leon, but I seriously, I can just ask Junko. I mean, they're sisters, right? She probably knows what Mukuro would like."
"Oooh, so you're trying to make friends with the family already? You work fast."
"Yeah, I'm done."
Makoto just calmly walked out of the classroom, ignoring Leon's protests. Leon just kind of say there like a grouch, until Sayaka happened. She happily informed him that she was not planning on being "his" anytime soon...and that he should watch what he says.
A/N: So this chapter kind of happened. I'm honestly not trying to make Makoto the only important character, but I my subconscious is making me do this. Besides, this was a request from KudaKo, so that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. Also, my last three reviews are not displaying on the site and it's kind of pissing me off right now. I mean, I got the email notification, but its been like this for a couple days now...
