"True crime is fine with me." Kansei shrugged and huddled up against Makoto's side to watch TV. "I'm not really picky either way. Do you want any popcorn or anything?" They asked. "I can go make some if you want some; I don't mind, honestly."
"Alright," Makoto replied, flipping to the true-crime channel. "Yeah, I'd definitely kill for some popcorn." Makoto pulled his phone out and started scrolling, not really watching what was going on on the TV screen but certainly listening to it. He occasionally glanced at the screen, but always ended up looking back at his phone.
"Alright, I'll be right back, then." Kansei got to their feet and headed into the kitchen, returning a few minutes later with popcorn to share and candy for each of them. They huddled up against Makoto again and started quietly eating, keeping their eyes on the TV screen.
"Mh." By now, Makoto had stopped scrolling through his phone and placed it beside him. He then wrapped his arm around Kansei, pulling them closer to him. He grabbed a handful of popcorn and nearly stuffed his face with said handful, then continued focusing on the show playing. "This is nice. Like… our own, personal true-crime theatre.," he joked, chuckling hushedly.
"Yeah, I guess so." Kansei laughed softly and kept quietly eating their popcorn, albeit a bit more politely than Makoto was. "It's definitely nice. I like spending time with you; just… relaxing like this. We should do this more often." They hummed contentedly and huddled closer.
"Yeah, we definitely should," he spoke, after taking a moment to finish the handful of popcorn he had shoved into his mouth. "Times like this make life worth living. Especially with all the stress of choosing things left and right… It's the sense of comfort I'm sure we've both needed."
"Mhmm…" Kansei yawned and closed their eyes, content to cuddle up with Makoto for the time being. It really felt like it had been ages since they just relaxed together like this, and they were thoroughly enjoying it. "You're the best, love…" They murmured.
"Awh.." Makoto muttered under his breath. "I think you're the best though." He hushed himself down, and pulled Kansei a little closer. He enjoyed this; just being able to relax for once, especially after all the worrying they both have been doing recently. In terms of together-time, as he liked to call it, Makoto, frankly, wouldn't have it any other way.
Kansei hummed contentedly as they nestled themself up against Makoto's side. "We should get Taco Bell or Dairy Queen or something. Fun little outing. We can call it a date." They smiled up at Makoto, opening their eyes to gaze up at him fondly.
"Yeah, those sound great. I'm definitely all for Dairy Queen," he replied, a small grin on his face. "Ice cream sounds really good right about now." Makoto let out a hushed laugh and stretched his arms out, yawning. He wrapped his arm back around Kansei, pulling them closer once again.
"Mmm~… wanna go get it now, then? I know there's one close to here." Kansei sat up in anticipation in case Makoto said yes. "We can just drive over and we should be back here within like… ten or fifteen minutes tops."
"Hell yeah, let's do it," Makoto said. He snickered and then added, "I frankly don't care how long it takes. As long as we get to do it together, I'm definitely all for it." He smiled warmly, then adjusted the rose in his hair again. "It'll be my treat. I saved up some money; I had a feeling we'd do something like this sometime, so I made sure I didn't spend any of my money recklessly. Yeah, the stuff there is cheap, but y'know… You gotta be prepared."
"Alrighty." Kansei smiled softly and got to their feet, stretching a bit with a yawn. "What're you gonna get?" They asked, reaching out one hand to help Makoto to his feet. "I like the fudge stuffed cookie, but I dunno… maybe I'll be adventurous this time. Probably not."
"I'll probably get a Red Velvet Blizzard. Sounds good enough to me." Makoto said, getting up as well.
(sorry this reply is so short, i gotta hop offline for now so i'm trying to do it as quick as possible while replying to all my unread chats hghjgjg)
(Np ^^)
Kansei nodded a bit and headed outside with Makoto. "Do you wanna drive, or do you want me to?" They asked, grabbing their keys just in case. "I'm fine to do either, honestly. Whichever you prefer is perfectly fine."
"Yeah I- I'm still working on my reckless driving," Makoto replied, laughing embarrassedly. "I think you should drive. I'm still touching up on my speed and all."
"Alright, alright. I'm the responsible one here, I guess." They kissed Makoto's cheek and headed out to their car, getting into the driver's seat. "But you're not allowed to complain about me driving slow. I'm usually going five over the speed limit and that's plenty."
"Yeah yeah, I get it," Makoto said, walking out to the car and getting in the passenger's seat. He buckled his seatbelt. "I usually end up going nearly 10 over and I don't even realize it until I've got the speeding ticket in my hands." Makoto let out another laugh.
Kansei buckled themself in and started driving, humming along to the song on the radio. They made sure to use their blinker for every turn, and never had the music particularly loud. "What do you want?" They asked once they had made it to Dairy Queen.
"I'll go with a Red Velvet blizzard. I'm sticking to what my gut wants and it's sayin' it wants Red Velvet," he replied, patting himself on the stomach jokingly. "I just have a weird craving for something Red Velvet right now for some reason."
"Alright." Kansei ordered the food and pulled around, handing Makoto his blizzard when it was given to them. They thanked the worker and drove off, heading back home. "Does that look and taste right to you?" They asked.
Makoto took a close look at the blizzard he ordered. "Yeah, so far it looks right," he said, followed by him actually taste-testing it. "Mmh. Mhm, it tastes right too. Definitely correct."
Kansei nodded a bit and parked the car. "Great. Let's head in and keep watching our true crime or whatever." They grabbed their box from Dairy Queen and headed upstairs, flopping onto the couch once they got there.
Makoto nodded and followed behind them. "Yeah." When they both got to the couch, Makoto sat down beisde them. "Man, this is the most fun I've had in a while."
Kansei smiled softly, resting their head on Makoto's shoulder as they ate their cookie. "Yeah, it's nice… do you wanna keep watching this one, or do you wanna watch a different one?" They asked, picking up the remote.
