He gulped down the saliva that had built up in his throat as he stood. His hand holding onto a pair of small rectangular pieces of paper, trying to ignore how his grip was so tight and how occasionally his hand would shake as well. It made no sense why he was nervous about this... it wasn't the first time he's done this... and yet, with her here... he couldn't help but feel his nerves build up.
"Kirishima-kun?" Homori blinked, looking at the redhead curiously as he jumped a bit. "Is everything alright?"
"A-ah... yeah! Everything's fine!" He smiled widely. "Guess I just got distracted."
"You seemed a bit away in your thoughts." The orange haired girl giggled lightly. "Anyway, I got the snacks."
He glanced at his date a bit more and realized he had missed her holding out the traditional food for this kind of event. The pair of much larger than expected sodas and the popcorn that more than likely had either too much or too little salt and butter.
"Here." He told the girl, reaching forward and taking one of the sodas and popcorn into his own arms. "Let me take some of it."
Homori laughed again, easing the boy's nerves about what they were doing tonight. The girl's eyes then wandering down to the tickets still held in his hand and she very quickly pried them from him and held them in her own hand. Kirishima blinked a few times, then settled for a small and touched smile at her own kindness towards him. She truly was like an energetic and lively person, someone he couldn't help but fall for as he got to know her. And even now, he still found himself liking her more and more each day.
"Should we head in now?" She asked him, looking towards where an employee was scanning and ripping tickets and then directing customers to their theatres showing the film they wished to see.
"Y-yeah!" Kirishima suddenly spoke a bit louder then he expected himself to and thus scolded himself for the harsh volume. "I mean, sure! Let's go!"
Homori nodded to him, but not without narrowing her eyes slightly. She hadn't been together with Kirishima for long, but did know him well enough to know when he was acting weird or not like himself... like right now.
Was he really still nervous about the date? Did she make him nervous to the point where he became stiff and awkward? Was it something else?
She shook her head at any and all negative possibilities. While Kirishima was an overly nice guy and would often do and say more than he needed for those he cared about... she knew he wouldn't hold back the truth from her either.
If he no longer wanted to be with her or go out with her, he'd tell her in the nicest and most sincere way possible. Not hurt her or continue going out with her to not want to make her cry. He'd be honest if he was no longer interested. So it made her wonder what exactly he wasn't being honest about right now...
Deciding to take her and hopefully his mind off of whatever could be bothering him, Homori leads him past the ticket woman and towards theatre fou where their film would be playing. A large poster cut outstanding next to the entrance way. The image of a group of college-age children trying to outrun a man with an axe at what appeared to be some lake house.
A typical and almost cliche little horror movie trope it appeared, but then again, she was a sucker for any and all horror movies. And being able to sit next to Kirishima and have the off idea that maybe if she jumped a little bit (through her own doing of course) maybe he'd sling an arm over her... or even mumble something about keeping her safe.
The cliche horror movie date ideas... yes... but she had just come to the realization that she didn't mind these sorts of cliches too much. She was about to go see a horror movie after all, and these types of films were not exactly known to be the most original. So she could let herself indulge in some cliche fantasies tonight... just a little bit.
