"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

You're the worst... [ UGH IT'S SO BAD. ]

action;

[masakados]

You mean the best, [Naoki snickers and he moves to pick up a piece of popcorn, offering it to her mouth.]

action;

[flaredo]

[ Gamely opening her mouth to accept it, yes. But still, no-- ]

Mmph.

action;

[masakados]

I'm taking that as agreement.

[Here, have some more popcorn, girlfriend.]

action;

[flaredo]

You're still terrible. [ But feed her anyway. ]

action;

[masakados]

Eh, you like me anyway. Oh look, he's getting back together with his alien girl... friend... thing.

[Here's some more popcorn, Yang, they can watch the thrilling (????) conclusion to this terrible movie.]

action;

[flaredo]

Good for him. We'd do it better.

[ munch munch munch... ]

action;

[masakados]

Would I be the alien, or you?

[Grinning.]

action;

[flaredo]

Probably you. You're the more exotic-looking one.

action;

[masakados]

Hey, I'm at least consistent with the glowing.

[He pointedly flips a piece of her hair.]

action;

[flaredo]

You wouldn't want me to be glowing all the time, trust me.

action;

[masakados]

That'd mean extra crushing hand-holding, huh?

[Teasing.]

action;

[flaredo]

Yep. And spine-snapping hugs.

action;

[masakados]

Sooo, then, you want to be the robot cop?

[With a glance at the screen and--] Who's carrying the alien off into the [squints] otherwordly sunset?

action;

[flaredo]

Ye-- does that mean we're done??

[ WE'RE FREE???? ]

action;

[masakados]

...I'm kinda offended on behalf of this awful movie that you're so excited to leave.

[GOSH!!]

action;

[flaredo]

You should be happy that I'm genuinely excited.

action;

[masakados]

For it to be over... It's tricky to be happy over that.

[SIGH and tilting his head over to nudge it against her shoulder. Nudge. Nuzzle.]

action;

[flaredo]

You have to admit, it wasn't a total blockbuster or anything...

[ Touching her hand to his head, to stroke his hair, each little strand fuzzy between her fingers. ]

action;

[masakados]

Oh yeah. [Ooh... Naoki's eyes close.]

I can admit it. Still, it was my terrible movie and I'm sticking with it.

action;

[flaredo]

You're not going to suggest we find a copy of it, are you?

[ ... Because she might smack him. ]

action;

[masakados]

I'm bad, but I'm not that bad.

[Snickering and lifting his head off of her shoulder, he straightens up as the credits start to roll on this terribad film.]

action;

[flaredo]

Oh good, there's hope for you yet. [ Moving to her feet, and offering him a hand-- no, they're not sitting through the credits. ]

action;

[masakados]

[But who knows if there'll be an after-credits scene-- No. Naoki slides his hand into hers and stands up.]

Small but there, yup.

action;

[flaredo]

... Maybe we should've saved training for after the movie.

Or was it just that you didn't want me to hurt you for putting me through the worst acting ever?
