As always, if you have any request you can send it to me via a review or a private message.

Movies

Summary: Raku knew watching that movie was a bad idea

From the moment Tachibana suggested the movie, Raku knew it was a bad idea.

This outing was supposed to be a get-together between his group of friends. Everyone had come: Shuu, Chitoge, Onodera, Miyamoto, Tachiba and even Tsugumi. Raku had thought it would be like their usual outings, everybody having fun. But this time he was sure not everyone would enjoy the movie.

Once they had all arrived to the cinema, Marika had suggested one particular movie. "I want to watch this movie so badly. It seems interesting, don't you think so, Raku-sama?" She fluttered her eyes at him, while pointing at a poster.

If the title of the movie Haunting in Tokyo and the gory poster were not enough for him to think that the movie was not appropriate, certainly the look Tachibana was giving him told him they should watch another movie. "Hey guys, I don't─"

"Splendid idea, Marika-chan!" Shuu interrupting his friend, smiling brightly. "It's the type of movie you want to watch sitting close to someone, right, Ruri-chan?" Said girl slapped Maiko straight in his face at his suggestion.

Ruri quickly composed herself and said, "It is actually not a bad idea. Especially about the part of sitting close to someone, nee, Kosaki?"

Onodera blushed brightly at the last remark. "I-I don't know what you're talking about, Ruri-chan." She stuttered and mentally prayed that no one had noticed her flustered state.

"Then it is decided!" Shuu exclaimed. "Seishirou-chan, if you're afraid you can hug me all you want." He wiggled his eyebrows at Tsugumi, who immediately became angry.

"The only thing I want to do with you is punch you in the face!" She yelled, raising her fist.

"You don't have to be so cruel, Seishirou-chan…" He pouted.

Meanwhile, Raku silently watched his friends' antics, a sweat-drop falling from his forehead.

"You guys…" He muttered, as he found himself completely ignored by them.

Since they all ignored Raku's protests, they chose to watch Haunting in Tokyo, which, to their luck or misfortune, was about to start. As they went to buy the tickets, Marika linked Raku's arm with hers. "If I get scared, promise you will hold me?" She asked him so sweetly he blushed.

"Etto… Tachibana I…"

"Of course Darling won't hold you, he will hold me, right Raku?" Chitoge intervened, taking Raku's other arm.

"Yeah, sorry Tachibana, but Chitoge is my girlfriend after all." He answered. Raku hated lying but it was the only way to keep Marika's unwanted advances at bay.

"We'll see about that." She said, before going to buy her ticket.

Once Marika was out of ear-shot, Raku turned to Chitoge. "Are you sure you're alright about this?" He asked her, worried about her.

His fake girlfriend simply scoffed. "Of course I'm alright with the movie. I'm not a weak bean sprout like you."

Raku ignored the blatant insult she threw his way, and continued pressing her. "But it is a ho─"

"I already know what type of movie it is! If I wasn't sure I wouldn't watch it. Now go and pay for our tickets!" She bossed him around like always, though Raku was sure it was due to her nerves. Raku sighed. It was obvious she was anxious about watching a horror movie, though she remained adamant on pretending otherwise.

"It's not like this is a date or anything…" He complained, though he paid for the tickets anyway.

Once inside the theater, Raku managed to sit close to the exit, in the event he'd need leave with Chitoge. Next to him sat Chitoge, looking quite smug for having beat Marika to the seat next to Raku. Marika sat grumpily next to Chitoge, complaining that she wanted to sit next to her "Raku-sama". Right next to Marika, was Kosaki, and next to her, Ruri. Between Ruri and Tsugumi, Shuu was sitting.

"I'm so lucky to be sitting next to such beauties!" Maiko exclaimed but was quickly silenced by both girls punching him.

"Are you sure you're alright? We can still leave." Raku asked Chitoge one more time before the movie started.

"Relax, Raku. I'm fine. I can take this." She answered, but her argument was unconvincing for she shivered when the lights went off.

The reason Raku was so worried about Chitoge watching this movie was because it was a horror movie they were going to watch. Chitoge was scared of dark places and thunder, so he thought his fake girlfriend wouldn't be able to watch the whole movie without suffering a panic attack.

The movie was a typical haunted house story, with a set of ghosts and gory scenes. It was a bit cliché, but gruesome enough to scare the audience. Ten minutes into the movie and Chitoge was already trembling. Another ten minutes passed by and she had screamed twice. By the half hour Chitoge was already sitting on Raku's lap. Raku was embarrassed by the position, but he was more worried about Chitoge. Any minute now and she would start crying. When fifteen more minutes had passed by, Raku couldn't take Chitoge suffering anymore. She took her hand and led her to the exit. Their friends didn't notice for they were too engrossed by the movie.

Once outside, he let Chitoge sit down, still holding her hand. After she had significantly calmed down, he started speaking.

"Hey, are you alright?"

She looked at him with tears still in her eyes. She nodded and smiled. "Yeah. Thank you."

Raku blushed when she smiled at him. Feeling awkward, he started scratching his neck. "It was nothing. I'm glad you're feeling better now."

After some moments of silence, he spoke again. "Hey, wanna go to the arcade? It'd be my treat."

That suggestion surprised Chitoge. "Huh?"

"Let's go to the arcade! You don't want to watch that movie anymore, and neither do I. So let's have fun while the others finish watching the movie. I mean… if you want." He finished lamely after he noticed he had been talking too animatedly to be considered normal.

Unknown to him, his words had melted Chitoge's heart. She nodded and took his hand, guiding him to the arcade. Her fears were forgotten and she smiled wholeheartedly. Raku entwined their fingers. He liked it when Chitoge smiled, and even more if he was the cause of it.

Omake

"I can't believe Ichijou Raku took Ojou away, and we didn't notice!" Tsugumi exclaimed.

"Well, Chitoge-chan doesn't really like this type of movies." Kosaki commented.

Next to her, Marika was muttering angrily about why it didn't occur to her to fake being scared, so Raku would whisk her away from the movie theater.

"He did text me saying they were going to the arcade." Shuu said, shrugging.

"And why didn't you tell us?!" Tsugumi yelled at him, clearly angry because Maiko hadn't shared that piece of information.

"Oh, but how could I have done that when I had two beauties clinging on me!" Shuu said with a cat-like expression on his face.

"What?!" Tsugumi and Ruri screamed at the same time.

"Oh, yes you two did! And I have proof!" He said and took out his phone. He showed them a picture of both girls putting their heads on his shoulder.

Truthfully, Tsugumi had thought the movie was boring and had fallen asleep, unknowingly putting her head on Shuu's shoulder. Meanwhile, during some scenes Ruri had actually been scared and she did cling to Maiko. However, not even in a million years would she admit to having done that.

Needless to say, the four remaining girls went home, leaving behind a pummeled Maiko Shuu on the floor.

A/N: This is the first time I have written Tsugumi, Shuu, Marika and Ruri. Even if their role in this story was minimal, I hope I got them in character.
