XXXXX

Sena was late. Sena was late and Jyuumonji was stuck looking like a complete idiot as he waited alone in line for some tickets to a stupid kiddy flick that Sena wanted to see. The blond teen personally wanted nothing more but to leave right then as the freakishly dressed nerdy teens in the line began waving wands at each other yelling out strange words that sounded equally retarded. But he stayed because Sena had asked him to go to the movies with him. He wasn't sure why the small teen had asked him, but he wasn't going to miss a chance to be alone with the object of his secret affection. But if those weirdoes started waving those damn wands at him somebody was getting hurt.

So it was with great relief that a familiar voice finally reached his ears and he was able to see Sena running up to him. Of course the spiky haired teen was hard to miss even in the crowd of colorful costumes as he was wearing what looked like a suit of neon reflective gear. "I'm sorry I'm late, Jyuumonji," the shorter teen said sincerely, as he began to take all the gear off, "but Mamori caught me as I was leaving the house and made me wear all this so I wouldn't get hit by a car in the dark on the way here."

Jyuumonji wanted to say something scolding to him about how the smaller teen lets Mamori over protect him, but remembered that Sena probably wouldn't like that and a glimpse of Sena's bare stomach as he takes off the neon orange top makes him bite his tongue. So he just mumbled, "It's fine," and tried to look like his normal tough guy self.

After a moment of uncomfortable silence, Sena spoke up, shyly looking down at his own feet, "Um, I'm really glad you could come with me, Jyuumonji. I didn't think anyone else on the team really liked these kinds of movies so I was really surprised when Kuroki and Togano said you liked them too."

The taller teen looked down at the blushing youth dumbstruck and asked, "Huh?! Those guys told you what?!"

Jyuumonji's heart jumped into his throat as Sena looked up at him, the smaller boy's cheeks flushed and big brown eyes that could rival any puppy, "They said you liked these movies too, and I thought that since they're your friends they wouldn't lie about something like that, would they?"

Without even thinking Jyuumonji answered by shaking his head to take away the brown haired teen's worries. Of course seconds after a smiling Sena was beaming at him as the younger boy began talking excitedly about the movie that they were going to see, he realized what exactly he had agreed with. As he tried his best to hide the fact he was grinding his teeth at the thought of being lumped in with the dorks around him, Jyuumonji swore that his friends weren't going to away from this unscathed either. If the price of being alone with Sena was his pride he was going to make them pay too. That thought got him to smile finally as he cut into Sena's rambling to start talking about Kuroki's teddy bear and Togano's love for Sailor Moon.
