[movie theater, about ten minutes later]

Toya walked up to see akito, two tickets already in hand.
"I could have bought my own.." he spoke. akito looked up at him, confused and replied- "Who said the other one was for you?"

toya just looked at him for a moment.
"I suppose you're right." he said and began to walk to the ticket booth before being stopped.

"WAIT- wait- nononono- i was kidding!"
he laughed, reaching out to grab him. "The ticket, it is for you. I was kidding- I guess I wanted to see how you'd react.." he said, giggling in between.

Toya paused. "How was I supposed to react..?" he questioned, genuinely not knowing the answer. "er... i- uh... I don't know??" he had kinda wanted to see him pouting. (though he would never admit it) he thought it would look cute. not in a gay way or anything. he laughed nervously. he looked around, looking for an excuse to get out of this conversation. His eyes landed on the tickets, leading him to the thought process of 'movies‥ The movie starts in about... yes. perfect.'

officially, the movie starts in two minutes. but in reality, there are about seven minutes of previews. do we need any snacks for the movie? we've got plenty of time.." he says, motioning to the entrance of the movie theater.

"Oh! yes!" toya exclaimed, wearing a small smile. He grabbed the gingers wrist and headed to the snack bar.

They made it to their seats within five minutes. they still had to watch four minutes of previews. 'Walk slower next time,' they both noted.

about three ads and a movie later, they walked out of the projection room (actually called an auditorium, but i like projection room better), throwing away their popcorn container and their trash.

They walked through the corridor, observing all of the other movies that were showing, exchanging little 'oh, that'd be a fun one,' and 'that seems.. interesting. based on the title.'s

As they passed through, they were met with a girl who had immediately recognized Akito- who stopped them. Strangely, even though he had never performed, it seems frequenting the live houses made him known.

Even stranger,
"Oh my god! Akito?!"
She had used his given name.

"Um, hi..?" Clearly, just a little uncomfortable, he backed up, nearing Toya again.

"Ugh, I see you all the time! You seem like a performer, but I've never seen you on stage! You're a singer, right? You've gotta be. I just haven't been th-" She rambled on, and on. Akito didn't think she ever even took a breath.

"I, um, I'm not. And, do I like.. actually know you?" Looking back and up at Toya, and then back at the girl, he spoke curiously. He had literally never seen this girl before, but it seemed like she had seen him almost a million times and wanted to do it a million times over again.

She paused, her mouth still open from talking, and quickly smiled.
"You're right! I've never introduced myself. I am Akane Uchiumi, but you can call me Akane," She bent over slightly, and her hand was outstretched, and Akito shook it, but before he could pull away, she latched onto his hand with both of hers.
"...but you could call me Akane-chan." She smiled, almost... seductively.

This earned her the sharpest glare that Toya's ever cut anybody.
Quickly, she straightened, releasing Akito's hand.
He laughed sinply at this, though concealing by clearing his throat.

"Sorry," She offered a smile, scratching her cheek. "That might have been a bit too forward.."

"No, it's.." he sighed. And again, Akito knew he was attractive, at least a little, but wasn't this overkill? He hadn't even laid eyes on her before tonight, but here she was, already acting flirty with him. God, he never wanted to go out in public again. "It's fine.. Akane. Don't sweat it." He spoke begrudgingly.

"I said it was forward, but I wanna try and be forward again." She had begun fiddling with the lace on her top.
"Akito, I was wondering if you'd go out with me. Like, tonight.."

Toya's heart sank.

And somehow, Akito's too.

Akito threw his hands in a backward motion, kind of grabbing one of the other boy's, (a silent call for help, he supposed) before he let go and his hands joined together behind his back.

"Akane, I'm sorry, I just.."
"We had plans." Grabbing his wrist, Toya had, once again, shot her another hostile glare. Toya cursed himself internally for failing to do this faster. Akito had quite clearly been uncomfortable and bothered by this interaction from the start.

Thank you. God, thank you, Toya...

"We did... Sorry, Akane. I hope you.. um, find somebody else?" They, in fact, did not. They were probably gonna walk around for ten or twenty minutes trying to find something else to do. They had absolutely zero planned.
But, they would both much rather walk around aimlessly with each other than have to talk to this girl for more than a second longer.

Toya's hand was already around his wrist, so grabbing his to run away was out of the question. So, he pulled his hand upwards, and Toya's grip loosened. He grabbed his hand instead. They were cold. Actually.. they were warm. A little. Maybe that was just his own hands. He didn't really know.

Clearly comfortable with this, Toya's grip changed. Their fingers were now interlaced. They were holding hands.. like they were.. together. Or friends. Like An and Kohane. Yeah..

Who was he kidding? This was impossible to ignore. Even for him. He could pretend he was oblivious to the most obvious things. Not this, though. He'd been denying it for way too long. He'd been trying not to acknowledge it forever. He had to at some point. He had nothing to lose, so why not now?

He liked Toya.
This boy liked Toya Aoyagi.
Akito Shinonome had liked Toya Aoyagi.
For a ridiculously long time.

Akito bit his lips and looked at Toya. Not at him, his eyes. He made direct eye contact with him, looking so, so very deeply into those beautiful, magnificently alluring blue-grey eyes he had. The eyes that reminded him of the beauty of winter.

He tugged on Toya's arm and began walking toward the exit.

YALL WERE NOT READY FOR THIS WERE YA!?!?!?!?!
sorry for it taking so long
I got grounded then lost motivation and it was a whole thing ohmygod
