"Kusuo, you're hella jumpy today. What's up?" Y/n asks, after he practically jumped out of his skin after being approached by a small child.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it." He said, acting as if nothing had happened. Y/n nodded, even if they didn't believe him. The two teens walk into the cinema and buy their tickets. They head over to the concession stand. Y/n orders a popcorn and waits for Saiki to get his food.
"How much of your month's allowance did you just spend?" Y/n asks, seeing the amount of food he held."All of it." He says as if it were no big deal. Y/n throws him a look of disbelief.
"You've probably never been to a movie theatre, but you don't have to buy that much food from here." Y/n says. Saiki looks at them, urging them to keep talking. They tap on the bag they had slung around them. "You can get better shit from the outside and sneak it in." Y/n states sneakily. Saiki looks into their bag and sees various different snacks.
"Why didn't I think of that...?" Saiki wonders.
"I'm just... so big-brained, Kusuo. You could never understand." Y/n says jokingly, poking their head.
"I doubt that. I'd bet you have a brain the size of a peanut." Saiki says, mocking them.
"I'm not the one who spent 2500 yen on theatre food." Y/n retorts. As Saiki is looking at them in irritation they notice two people walking toward them, going unnoticed by the pink-haired psychic. Y/n realizes that they don't plan on changing their path so they pull Saiki out of their way.
"What was that for?" Saiki gives them a confused look.
"Those pretentious assholes were gonna bump into you. I'd bet all of my (favourite snack) that all your food would have gone to waste." Y/n says pointing at the pair of people talking, all snob like. Saiki turns to look at the people and realized that they were right.
"Thanks, I guess," Saiki says. Y/n rolls their eyes.
"No problem, Kusuo." They say. They both walk into the movie room and take their seats. They settle into their seats. "I have a bad feeling." Y/n states suddenly. As they say that,
"Oh, uh, Saiki," Teruhashi starts, "ah, what a coincidence!" She exclaims. Saiki looks at her in disbelief.
"Hey, Teruhashi!" Y/n greets. Teruhashi looks past Saiki to look at Y/n. She waves at Y/n before looking away in discomfort. "Kusuo, why's she making that face?" Y/n whispers to the boy. Saiki shrugs in response.
"Uh, Saiki, I'm not just making up an excuse, but I don't want you to get the wrong idea either. See I'm actually here with someone but-" Teruhashi tries to say. Y/n makes an exaggerated surprised look.
"Kokomi! I got us popcorn!" A male voice says.
"Who the fuck is that and why is he wearing sunglasses indoors?" Y/n whispers to Saiki.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out." He responds.
"Hey! You there! Just what are you doing with my Kokomi?!" He takes off his glasses and yells at Saiki.
"You're gonna need to chill with the screaming, man." Y/n retorts back at him. Suddenly the theatre bursts out in chatter.
"Huh!? Don't take your sunglasses off!" Kokomi scolds the man. All of the people in the theatre get up and swarm the man, now known to Saiki as Touru Mugami, which in turn ends up swarming both Y/n and Saiki. Saiki stares in annoyance as the one time he actually went to a movie theatre, it was ruined by one of the nuisances he calls his friend.
"Ow, fuck. I knew something was gonna happen. We can pirate the movie online. Let's go to my apartment." Y/n said grabbing the boy's wrist.
Teruhashi catches the pair of teens leaving the theatre together. "Are they here on a date?" Teruhashi mumbles to herself. She couldn't help but notice that Y/n had called him Kusuo and not Saiki. She still only called him by Saiki. She took notice of how quickly Y/n had stuck up for Saiki when her brother started yelling at him. She felt a wave of anxiousness come over her. Does Saiki like Y/n? Do they like him back?
Saiki and Y/n enter their small apartment. Y/n places their bag on the couch with Saiki following behind. Y/n takes their laptop off from the kitchen table and sets it on the small table in front of the TV.
"Do you want anything to drink? Water? Pop? Coffee?" Y/n asks him. He shakes his head, he had enough to drink at the theatre. "Sorry, give me a second, I need to get some bandages." Y/n says walking to a small closet. They pull out a box of bandages and rubbing alcohol.
"What happened?" Saiki asks. He had no clue as to how or when Y/n had gotten hurt.
"Back at the theatre, I got kicked in the shins a couple of times. Hurts like a bitch, but I'll be fine." Y/n mumbles as they sit at the kitchen table. She pours the alcohol on their wounds and hisses as the liquid runs down their leg.
"I'm sorry," Saiki mumbles.
"What the hell are you apologizing for?" Y/n looks up at him.
"I don't know." Saiki really had no idea why was apologizing, it hadn't been his fault, not directly at least. Still, he couldn't help but feel somewhat responsible.
"It was that pretentious prick, Mugami. He knew damn well he was gonna attract people's attention." Y/n grunts as they sit in front of their laptop. "Hard to believe he and Teruhashi are related." They mumble angrily.
"Related?" Saiki asks.
"Well yeah, he's her brother." Y/n states as if it were obvious.
"How do you know that?" He asks them.
"The internet isn't that hard to use, especially if you know your way around it." They say opening the laptop. "Nothing stays hidden forever." Y/n states.
"There are exceptions." Saiki disagrees.
"Not really, you may think that, but the internet remembers everything." They say. "Anyway, I got the movie, sit down so we can watch." Y/n pats the space beside them. Saiki walks over and sits.
"That was quick." He says with slight surprise heard in his voice.
"I'm a hacker!" They say jokingly. Y/n shoots a finger gun at Saiki, and he rolls his eyes. They both sit in silence as the movie starts.
