10. Popcorn; Movies

“I still can’t believe you like this stuff,” commented Niou, gesturing to the big screen in front.

Marui was steadily munching on his popcorn, eyes transfixed at the romantic scene playing. “Shhh, Haru, you’re ruining the mood.”

Niou sighed, grabbing a handful of the popcorn. “That is so cliché,” he said as the couple on-screen kissed in the rain.

“Romantic,” whispered Marui, eyes glazing over.

Niou glanced at the other, grinning. “You want me to kiss you in the rain?” When the redhead nodded, Niou snorted. “Tough luck, Maru, we’ll get colds that way.”

“You’re so unromantic.” Marui rolled his eyes, disappointed.

“Hey, I cooked dinner two days ago; a candlelight dinner,” said Niou, very proud of his accomplishment.

“Whatever, Haru,” pouted Marui, standing up and exiting the theatre as the ending credits rolled.

Niou got up to chase him, shaking his head. Why did he have to love someone who liked clichés?

Marui stood defiantly outside where it was conveniently raining as Niou stopped in front of him.

“Get inside, you idiot, you’ll catch a cold!” said Niou, grabbing the other’s arm and proceeding to drag the other to shelter.

“I want a kiss in the rain first!” demanded Marui, determined. God, Haru was too strict sometimes; it was just a simple kiss, dammit!

Niou groaned, knowing that Marui wouldn’t budge until he kissed him. ‘Ah well, might as well enjoy it.’ He pulled the redhead towards him and captured his mouth, plunging his tongue inside in an instant. Marui smiled slightly, not taking mind of the gawkers that watched them.

“I want a kiss like that, too, Yuki!”

“No way! We’re in publi—ah!”

Niou pulled away, satisfied with Marui’s panting state. He looked around and saw more couples kissing in the rain. “Why, I do believe we’ve started a trend.”

“A clichéd one?” teased Marui, arms still around Niou’s neck.

“Yeah,” muttered Niou, before leaning in to continue the trend again.
