Character(s): Naoki Kohaku, Meilynn Xiu Time: 6:32 PM Location: Movie theaters
The crowds around the streets were roaring as Naoki was walking by quickly to avoid eye contact with anyone. The theater was packed today-- just for one movie. Naoki was on his way to watch a movie by himself. He had seen the commercials on his TV about a tragic movie and Naoki thought he could use the tears. Maybe it will inspire him to create more stuffed animals than ever.
As he went up to the person selling the ticket, he looked down at their hands and began to mumble. "... One w-would be... nice, please..." Obviously, the person couldn't hear him due to the noise and the glass blocking them. Naoki closed his eyes and spoke a little louder. "I would like one! P-p-p-puh--" he opened his green hues and tried once more. "P-PLEASE, ONE TICKET!"
He didn't want to hold up the line, but that's exactly what he was doing. He blushed at the fact he had spoken so loud in public. He felt eyes all on him, when they probably didn't hear him even if he raised his voice. The person selling the ticket rolled their eyes and gave Naoki his ticket.
He sighed and began walking towards the snack line, looking for whatever he felt like eating with tears.

With her ticket in her hand, Mei was standing with her arms crossed over her chest. Starring deeply into the images above, Mei was pondering on what kind of snacks to get during the movie. She wasn’t feeling too much for popcorn tonight, or the chips that some audiences craved during their film.
“Hrm… Something sweet, or sour… Maybe I should grab a drink too… Ehh, B-But that’s so expensive… Should I just get gummy bears..?”
Pondering and debating against herself, Mei sighed feeling a little under the weather. Looking at her watch, she noticed the movie was going to start in 15 minutes and she’s still standing around here trying to debate whether to grab a snack or not. “I didn’t even save s-seats yet..! Oh my goodness…”
She fixed her gaze once more up towards the images above and starred. “What to get, what to get… Gummy bears or gummy worms…”[/size]

Naoki still stared up at the snack board. He couldn't find anything he'd like and the place was getting empty. Almost everyone had ran in the theaters with their food. Naoki, still embarrassed from before, thought that he should just go in and watch the movie with no food. That way, he'd cause no problems or troubles for anyone.
He avoided eye contact by looking at the floor and the shoes of others. As he passed a nice pair of shoes, he heard a small voice. Is this person... talking to themselves? There's only two feet, not four. Oh God, I shouldn't look up. What if I blind her with my hideous lifeless face? Or if she suddenly gets attacked by a bunch of bugs because I'm just bad luck?
He stood there and stared at her shoes for a bit, but as he was about to walk away, he heard the female speak again.
“I didn’t even save s-seats yet..! Oh my goodness… What to get, what to get… Gummy bears or gummy worms…”
Naoki moved his forest orbs a little higher so that he was looking at her timidly, but his head still a little lowered. He opened his mouth -- just a crack. "Gummy... b-bears..." He moved his head fully up and moved the brown hair out of his face for a bit. "... You... sh-should get bears... They're cuter than worms a-a-and you can play... with them."
He relaxed his stiffened body and turned away -- trying to avoid all eye contact once more. He felt embarrassed to have spoken to TWO people that evening. Heck, he was embarrassed ever since he stepped out of his place.

“Gummmy Bears, huh…”
Mei stopped and turned to her side to find a brunette beside her; his head hanging pretty low. A bit frightened but puzzled; wondering where and who this guy was. Turning left and right to confirm that he was directing himself towards her, Mei walked a bit closer towards the figure. Curious as to his features, Mei scooped herself below the male, squatting right below him. “Why are you standing like that, stranger-san?” She tilted her head slightly, flashing a carefree smile towards him.
“Gummy bears are cuter; stranger-san got that right! I-Is stranger-san going to get gummy bears too..?”
She stood herself back up to her height, continuing to smile towards the male. She’s never seen someone so timid. He almost seemed like a shy, little boy. “A-Are you watching a movie here, too..?” Mei questioned him in a sheepish tone. [/size]

Naoki felt as if he was internally sweating-- when you feel like you're sweating, but you look perfectly fine. He felt the female's eyes on him. Why is she looking at me? Right, it's normal for people to look at each other... B-But she's a girl and I'm probably creepy right now. Oh God, I see her face now!!
The brunette tried giving the girl who had squatted before him a smile. He didn't even know if it even looked like a smile because of all the mixed tensions at the moment.
But soon, he took a deep breath and looked calmly at the innocent girl. He bit his bottom lip before explaining. "... I--I'm not... really good with crowds."
When she smiled, he felt blind. She was the first person to have smiled at him that day. It felt kind of reassuring and it relaxed Naoki a lot. "Hm, yeah-- of course! Gummy bears are really cute. I guess-- in a way, they inspire me..."
He slipped a soft smile out without realization. It's true-- he tries to create cuter animals by getting and doing stuff. He didn't even realize that his head was tilted downwards to the now standing girl. It would be lower, but talking about gummy bears made him forget about his tensions for a bit.
"--!! A-Ahhh, my movie! I'm about a couple minutes late! All the seats... they're probably full!!" The female's question threw Naoki into panic mode. He was still debating if he should take 10 minutes asking for gummy bears or to watch the movie. He stopped worrying about himself for a moment, and looked back at the brunette. "Err..." he started messing with his brown bangs to avoid eyesight once more. "You... Uh--! I mean, don't you have a movie... to c-catch, as well?"

Meilynn smiled carelessly as she tugged onto the male’s shirt – hinting towards him that nothing really mattered with Mei, as long some humanity and dignity was present. “Don’t worry~ Mei doesn’t have crowds with her so stranger-san don’t have to worry a thing!” She gave him a quick wink before looking down at her ticket once more. “By the way, what’s y-your name…? M-Mei’s full name is Meilynn! Last name, Xiu~ And now – It’s your turn!”
“T-They inspire you..? H-How?”
Puzzled and a bit oblivious, Mei paused for a moment to think through at his response. Of course, dense Mei would have the hardest time at the simplest things. It some cases, she gave off the vibe of a ditz, or a dumb one. Unfortunately – most of the time, it’s that impression she tends to leave behind. Flinching at the unexpected raise of voice, Mei watched him go into one major panic mode and turn to ask her question. “A-Ah--! I do! W-What movie are you watching--?”
“Maybe if w-we have the same movie, w-we can watch it together..?” Mei smiled brightly, but feeling a bit embarrassed at the same time.[/size]

Naoki was doing kind of fine until he felt a sudden tug on his shirt. His shirt was being tugged by a female. She was probably the first female he actually initiated to speak with... about gummy bears. Sure, there were a few, 'can I borrow this' back in kindergarten, but that doesn't compare to the present.
The brunette female seemed really nice, and that kind of made Naoki smile to himself-- making it so that his forest orbs were smiling with his lips. Her reassuring words made him feel less afraid of the world. Naoki looked at her in the eyes, and nodded once. "Yeah... Thanks!"
Before Naoki knew it, the girl had introduced herself as Meilynn Xiu. A name to remember for the first time without force. "M-Meilynn Xiu..." he muttered. "Your name is the first friend name I'm going to remember... err...! I- I mean! I'm Naoki Kohaku--! Please continue treating me well, Meilynn Xiu!!" He bowed timidly. Everything felt so fresh and new to him. He felt-- normal.
Meilynn's little question made Naoki brighten up just like before with the gummy bears conversation. "They inspire me because I love to sew stuffed animals and create things! It's just a..." he paused, wondering if everything he had said seemed weird. "... a s-strange hobby, I guess..."
Despite his lack of confident in his hobby, Naoki had noticed Meilynn's stuttering habit. It's not like he's going to point it out, but he liked it. It made him feel less of a wreck. His breathing was now normal after the little frenzy he threw. "I'm watching... a sad movie. Hm... Actually, I'd be really happy if you were to join me--even if it's not the same movie."

“Naoki-Kun! I’ll be sure to remember your name as well~”
Meilynn smiled gently towards the brunette, she felt as though she was looking at a mirror. He was almost as shy and timid like herself – but in a way, he seemed a little more off the edge. But didn’t matter to her; she was excited and is definitely willing to be friends with this new character. “He’s so adorable too…” She quietly thought to herself.
“Awe--! You sew stuffed animals..?! C-Can Mei get one someday..?! C-Could you make Mei a P-Pooh bear..?”
She requested with her rosy cheeks. Mei was so fascinated that he could make his own batch of stuffed animals--! Not to mention a guy; oh goodness. To her, he seemed much like the perfect guy but she’s only met him a few minutes ago… Mei shook her head frantically and placed a carefree smile on her face. “I don’t think it’s strange at all--! I’m very envious, Naoki-Kun! C-Can you teach Mei sometime..?”
Ba-Bump. She felt her heart skip a beat when he asked her to watch the movie with her, “Even if it’s not the same movie.” Meilynn’s face was bright red now, this feeling of … “Butterflies in my stomach…” She whispered to herself while looking into the brunette’s hues. She was confused as to why he had such an effect on her, maybe it was his sewing stuffed animal abilities … “A-Ah, o-of course..! M-Mei would be happy to a-accompany N-Naoki-Kun…” She said shyly while smiling.
“L-Lead Mei on, Naoki-Kun.”[/size]

Naoki gently smiled towards Meilynn head on. Her words wrapped around him as if she was saying everything he's been longing to hear. It was as if Naoki was transformed into a new character because of her. His shyness and awkwardness seemed to have disappeared the longer he was with her.
Lowering his head, he began sinking into his timid thoughts again. She's my first--err--g-girl friend. A female friend. So, I shouldn't screw this up. What if she runs away because I just admitted my hob--
“Awe--! You sew stuffed animals..?! C-Can Mei get one someday..?! C-Could you make Mei a P-Pooh bear..?”
"Eh...?" Naoki lifted his head, green hues meeting brown ones. "Y-You really mean it?! I'll need a few days to work on it, but it'd be nice to..." he paused to whip out his small white flip phone. "t-to... give it to you when I'm done... or we can make it... t-together! So, may I have your--er--number?"
As embarrassed as he was for asking a strange question, he was also happy at the thought of having his first friend in his cellphone.
When Meilynn had accepted Naoki's movie offer, he felt red in the face. Lead her? Like... th-this? The brunette reached for Meilynn's small hand and took it. He looked at her blankly as he felt the warmth cover his palm. "S-Sorry, I'm new to these things... I'll take us to our destination," he shyly said. He turned and walked the route, still holding Meilynn's hand.

Mei nodded her head shyly, looking up to make eye contact with Naoki. “M-Mei means it! A-And Naoki can t-take his –- W-Wait! M-Mei can make it with Naoki-Kun..?!” Mei beamed at the brunette.
Her auburn hues watched as a pale cellular device popped up. Looking up at the stuttering male, Mei giggled angelically before nodding. “O-Of course! But Naoki has to share his number with M-Mei as well--!” She frantically rummaged through her bag and found her charcoal touch, getting ready to enter in his number.
“S-Should Mei say out her number f-first..?”
When she felt another person’s warmth holding onto hers, Mei was in utter panic mode internally. Her blushes became crimson red as she trotted behind Naoki. Looking down at their hand entangled with one another, Mei's blush grew deeper and her heart began to beat faster. “A-Ah.. M-Mei’s n-new too so… N-No need to worry, Naoki-Kun…”
Her face was slowly lighting up, she felt happy and giddy being around Naoki. Feeling nervous and ecstatic – Mei hoped that this would be the beginning of a promising friendship; maybe even something more. [/size]

Naoki showed his teeth in a smile towards the female as he nodded. "I don't see why not, M-Meilynn. I'll... guide you through it." The thoughts of making something with her made Naoki want to do several other things like bake or make charms, but he shook them away. One thing at a time, right?
As the brunette was entering Meilynn's name into his phone, he smiled with his eyes. A name that he wants to remember. His forest orbs glanced at her nice phone and he nodded once more. "Ye-err--yes...! You first-- I'll send you something, so... you can save my number, too."
Hands still intact, Naoki found the room that was showing their movie. Even if the room was no dark, Naoki turned to face Meilynn and looked at where her face would be. Rarely seeing where her head was, he leaned in to whisper, "... Just keep following me and don't let go."
He pulled her towards the back row while trying not to cause a scene. Luckily, there were a few seats open and he went to them. They were a few minutes late, but now that Naoki thinks about it, he was kind of glad to have been late. Because he had a chance to have met Meilynn.

Excitement rushed through her entire body even with just the thought of making a stuffed animal – with Naoki’s help was something she would have never even dreamed of. Mei smiled brightly, nodding her head filled with enthusiasm. “I-I can’t wait--!” Mei wishes she had talent like Naoki did. She could never really figure out what she was good at. “Naoki-Kun… D-Do you know how to make anything else..?” Meilynn nodded frantically as she held onto her phone tightly, leaning in a bit closer so she could whisper the digits. “M-Mei’s number is … 080-092-1993.”
With their hands still tangled up, Mei held onto the boy’s hand tightly once they entered into the theatre. His whisper made Mei’s heart flutter a bit, nodding to his request. As they grabbed a few seats towards the back row, Mei sat down next to the brunette staring at the two hands locked with one another. A rush of warmth reached up to her face, feeling a small amount of affection to this picture. Without mentioning much, Mei sat there quietly with her eyes locked onto the screen. [/size]

Naoki threw another smile on his face and nodded in agreement with her. Despite the fact that it was going to be fun guiding her through making a stuffed animal, he'd like to make one for her before that.
“Naoki-Kun… D-Do you know how to make anything else..?” Naoki's blinked a few times before answering her question. "O-Other stuff? Er-- I can make charms... Food... Hm..." Now that he's thought about it, that's all he can really make from scratch.
The brunette started finding the hilarity that was in Meilynn's whispers. It was as if they were exchanging secret codes. Once Naoki had her number, he sent a quick text to the address. It read:
"Meilynn, I hope you gave me the right address to send this to! P.S. - We forgot to get a snack for the movie. For me, I guess you will have to do! (‐^▽^‐)"
When they found seats, Naoki felt his green orbs look at Meilynn. Naoki never thought about it before, but it had now just occurred to him that Meilynn was a cute girl. And for some reason, their hands were still tangled up. The brunette had hope she didn't notice because he liked having her hand in his. He blushed and watched the movie feeling happier than ever.

“W-Well – Let’s remember to make those t-together too, o-okay..?”
Mei wanted to do all the things that they could do together possible. She didn’t know why, maybe she just wanted to spend more time with her new friend – whom they were holding hands with each other. When a slight vibration came through her fingers, Mei unlocked her phone with her spare hand read the note from Naoki. Unable to control her reaction, her eyes and lips were all curving from the utter happiness. "Hehehe, so adorable Naoki-Kun is." She whispered softly under her breath.
“A-Ah! Oh no! We did forget the snacks! I-I’m sorry Naoki-Kun--! D-Did you want anything--? Mei can go out and get some!” Mei slightly tugged on their entangled hands, realizing that the two of them did not let go of each other. The realization made her blush immensely, but prayed to God that it wouldn’t be visible in the mist of this darkness.
“A-Ah …” [/size]

"Yeah, I won't forget, Meilynn. I'll-- I'll make yours first and then I'll give you a--" he hesitated before finishing. "--call afterwards." Naoki never had a chance to say the word call before. Or rather, have no one to say it to.
“A-Ah! Oh no! We did forget the snacks! I-I’m sorry Naoki-Kun--! D-Did you want anything--? Mei can go out and get some!”
The brunette started feeling bad once the female flipped out over the snacks. Naoki smiled with a tint of blush crawling over his cheeks and he tightened his grip on Meilynn's hand.
"Remember what I told you? You're my replacement for the snacks, Meilynn."
He softly chuckled and ignored the movie for a bit. He felt it was better to look at Meilynn as an inspiration. However, the movie was soon to be over and Naoki felt his heart fall into his stomach. He nervously looked back at the screen, wondering what caused that gut feeling.
