Today was the day. I would finally go to the cinema. I was there once. I was just a child and my powers weren't that strong. It was horrible. Cinemas are really crowded and I often heard the end of the film before it even started. Additionally, I knew what everybody was thinking at the very same moment. It was annoying because I couldn't focus on what was going on. There was always a couple making out. I hated it. And the worst part was that I couldn't escape. Once I entered, I couldn't leave without it looking suspicious. 

But today I would have Mattsun with me and I would be able to concentrate on other things. Yes, the voices would still be there but they wouldn't be as loud as they normally were. I was really excited. My first cinema visit in years. I've always liked the concert of cinemas and if there wasn't my power, I would go to one at least once a month. 

There was only one problem with the cinema visit. Oikawa didn't know and I couldn't let him. I always told him that I hated going to the cinema and always turned him down if he wanted to go to one with me. I wouldn't be able to explain all of this to him. But if I was lucky, I wouldn't need to. 

Today I would meet up with Makki. He was really nice and I hoped that we could become good friends. I think we already were but I often assumed that people were friends of mine and then they weren't. Not everyone who was nice to me was automatically my friend. I needed to get that in my head. Otherwise, I would just continue crossing borders and weirding everyone out. I really hoped that Makki could keep up with me.  

"There you are!" I shouted, engulfing Mattsun in a hug. I wanted to feel him close. I needed this closeness and the with it coming silence. It somehow felt like jumping into the water after a warm summer day, cold. "You're excited to see me, aren't you?" Mattsun asked. "Yes," I answered and he smiled. I liked his smile, it made me feel warm inside. 

He pulled me inside and I was greeted by the sweet smell of Popcorn. I really missed this. Mattsun seemed to read my thoughts because he bought one big bag of caramel popcorn. How did he know it was my favourite? Could he possibly be able to read minds as well? I once met someone with the same powers as me but he moved to a small village to avoid the noise. I could understand him but I knew that this wasn't the only reason why he moved away. He was in love with Oikawa and knew that this wouldn't love him back so he moved to get over the Crush. He probably did. It was just a Crush after all. 

I loved the movie. Makki really seemed to enjoy it. He was really clingy though. He always is when he's around me. I don't know why. Some people told me that he was an introvert and hated human interaction if it wasn't with Oikawa. What was so special about me that he wanted to spend time with me? I don't have anything to offer so what is the reason? 

Mattsun's words or rather thoughts were true. I didn't have a proper reason to hang out with him. Sure, he was nice but if it wasn't for the silence he radiated, I would never have approached him, ever. 

This made me feel guilty. He was a kind guy and a good friend and I just used him. No normal friend would do that. 

When we parted, Makki hugged me once again. He didn't seem like he wanted us to go separate ways. It seemed like he wanted me to stay longer. I couldn't though, I had schoolwork to do.
