Chapter 56

After Todoroki and I had breakfast together we decided to watch a movie. I was still embarrassed about the way I held him hostage in my sleep, but he didn't seem to mind.

I shoved some more popcorn into my mouth as I looked at the tv. We were watching Rise of the Guardians, because I remembered telling Todoroki about it on the first day of school and him not knowing what it was.

When I glanced in my friend's direction I noticed that he was awfully focused on the movie, slowly putting popcorn in his mouth without taking his eyes off the screen.

"Are they going to die?", Todoroki monotonously asked.

"It's a kids' movie, Sho-chan", I retorted. "They won't die."

"The parents died in Frozen", Todoroki objected.

I sighed. This was my own fault since I forced him to watch Frozen before I thought of watching Rise of the Guardians.

"That's true, but these are the protagonists so they won't die", I said.

"But Hachi died in Hachi and he was the protagonist in a kids' movie too", Todoroki objected.

I didn't know how to reply to that. For some reason I never thought Todoroki would've seen Hachi, but I guess he's full of surprises.

"I suppose that's true", I gave in. "But in this movie they won't die."

"The mute guy died."

"Just watch the movie, Shoto", I said, chuckling at his innocent curiosity.

He wordlessly complied and fell silent again. We were sitting on the couch in front of the tv together, sharing a soft blanket. Todoroki was sitting on my right and I was leaning against him. I probably would have done it anyway, but it was extra pleasant because his left side was warm.

I quietly ate some more popcorn, enjoying the moment and atmosphere. Somehow I felt really comfortable around Todoroki. Yes, he embarrassed me at times without intending to, but he could always calm me down when he wanted to. His calm aura combined with his gentle voice and touches were just soothing. It was one of the many things I loved about him.

I cheerfully smiled and leaned against Todoroki some more, enjoying his presence. He didn't give a reaction other than a soft hum, but I didn't expect him to. He wasn't someone who spoke a lot unless necessary.

After we finished the movie I thought it might be more entertaining to try something else.

"Do you play video games, Sho-chan?", I asked.

"Not usually", he nonchalantly replied. "My old man wouldn't allow it so I never really had the chance to get into it."

I bit my lip, not expecting such a heavy answer. Todoroki's tone was light, but I knew his dad never let him do anything fun because he was training him. It made me feel really bad for Todoroki.

"Well, I like playing video games so maybe I can teach you?", I suggested. "If you don't like it we can do something else."

"Okay, but I would prefer it if we were would work together instead of against each other", Todoroki said.

"Of course!", I replied. "Most games I play are first person shooters and I play quite a lot, so going up against you who has zero experience would hardly be fair. We'll be on the same team and I'll help you."

"Yes, that sounds nice", Todoroki mumbled.

"Okay, so how about some zombies?", I suggested.

"I don't know what that is", Todoroki answered. "You can pick whatever you like, I'm sure I'll like it too."
