The Cinemaaaaa~!
"No! I'm not paying to go see Annabelle." Liz stated from her side of Starbuck's coffee table, hitting her fist on it to show finality.
"Why the Hell not? C'mon, it'll be great!" Aomine countered from his side of the table, leaning closer so his head hovered above the centre of the small wooden rectangle.
Liz, Kagami, Momoi and the Generation of Miracles were all perched around this amazing table, trying to choose which movie to watch, preferably before the mall closed.
The options had been narrowed down to Lucy (Liz's choice) or Annabelle (Aomine's choice). So far, Aomine had gained the support of Akashi, Momoi, and Kagami, Liz had Midorima and Kise, and Kuroko and Murasakibara were undecided/ couldn't be bothered to vote/ willing to watch either film.
OoOoOoOoO
In the end it was Annabelle that they went to watch, because Team Liz was outnumbered by one.
Kise didn't actually mind watching the horror movie, since his choice was biased to Liz, but he was encouraged to be excited for the film by Aomine's theory.
It was that since Liz clearly didn't like scary stuff, and was a squeamish person when it came to ghosts, evil spirits and such, she would do anything to comfort herself, even just a little bit. That included her burrowing her face in the crook of Kise's neck, or clinging on to Kise as if for dear life.
The thought alone caused the blonde boy's legs to turn to jelly and his face to be painted a flattering shade of pink, day dreaming about how he could make a move on Lizzy and have his feelings reciprocated. Little did the small forward know, Aomine really meant: Liz is gonna give me the attention, but I'll say that this is gonna happen to you so you won't whine in my ear.
As it happens, all the boys, excluding Kuroko, had plans to have Lizzy practically throwing herself at them to feel safe.
So, as you can imagine with this bunch, seating arrangements didn't quite go smoothly. Momoi eventually had to take charge, well aware of her friends' intentions. Seats went:
Liz at one end, Momoi herself, then Kuroko. On the row behind them, three unhappy basketball prodigies by the names of Kagami, Kise and Aomine were sat, in that order. Another three unhappy prodigies were sat in the row in front of Liz, in the order: green, red, purple.
When the lights dimmed and the ads were over, the boys eventually stopped complaining.
Whenever a scary or even mildly creepy part came on, the English girl would clutch onto her fellow female friend and the boys would feel a repeated cycle of jealousy, because they all thought they should be in Momoi's place, then self pitty, for being jealous of a girl.
At one point, Aomine leaned over to their seats and abruptly whispered "Boo." In Liz's ear, earning him a small, millisecond long shriek, causing several people to look at her in curiosity or irritation.
OoOoOoOoO
The film ended, and as the lights brightened once again, they discovered Liz clutching onto the excess fabric on Momoi's hoodie sleeve, peacefully asleep with her mouth slightly open.
The group waited till the last few people were filtering through the exit so that they could wake up sleeping beauty.
"Oi...oi...oi, Liz!" Kagami started gently, but quickly grew impatient. When she didn't budge, Aomine shrugged and hefted the girl over his shoulder ever so not-gently, effectively waking her up.
"Hey! You Aho, let me down!" Liz started yelling, pounding on Aomine's lower back with all her groggy, just-woken-up might.
"That hurts-" The dark haired boy was about to start complaining when he felt his object of interest being lifted from his broad shoulder. He turned around and looked at Murasakibara in awe (with the rest of their group) as the purple giant held Liz by her armpits like the baboon did to Simba in the Lion King.
"You can put me down now Atsushi, and thank you for helping me." Liz said, trying to turn her head to face him.
There was a moment of silence and Murasakibara still made no move to put the girl down. Then said girl started doing a twisting thing from her air-borne position to try and wriggle free, which made her look like she needed the loo, she was doing an awkward dance, or both.
"Umm...*cough* th-the staff need to come and c-clean up now, so could you leave please?" A nervous employee stood to the side of the stairs, not far from the group, clearly intimidated. There was another few seconds of quiet, then Atsushi finally put Liz on the floor. They all filed out silently after Liz had apologised for any inconvenience.
OoOoOoOoO
"So what do you guys want to do now?" The strawberry blonde asked as they left the cinema lobby.
"Shopping!" Momoi immediately 'suggested'.
"Bowling~!" Said Kise, with stars in his eyes as he looked over at the Bowling Alley/Arcade. Liz looked at the time and considered it.
"Alright, bowling then shopping!" Liz declared earning mixed reactions.
OoOoOoOoO
When they got through the loud, stuffy and brightly lit maze of the arcade, Liz and Co. agreed to split into three teams of three, but who went with who was a problem.
"We should draw straws," Midorima said (because he doesn't get enough love!), "and whoever gets a short straw gets to chose two other people for their team." He concluded, pushing up his glasses.
~momentary preparation for the drawing of the straws~
"I am a team leader, of course." Akashi said smugly, holding up his short straw.
"Oh! So am I~!" Momoi cheered.
"Ah, me too." Kuroko said from in between Kagami and Aomine, mildly shocking the two.
"Liz will be in my team." Akashi said, already pulling her gently to his side by her wrist. "Shintaro, you too."
"Fine..." Although the tsundere was secretly happy to be on the same team as Liz.
"Awww...I wanted Lizzy, and I can't choose Tetsu because he's a team leader too..." With crocodile tears in her eyes, Momoi looked around the rest of the group. "Well, Dai-chan will go with me, right?"
"Yeah, sure." Aomine said monotonously, knowing he couldn't let his childhood friend down if he could help it.
"I choose Kagami-kun." The Phantom Boy Kuroko said.
"Um...Murasakibara-kun, you'll also be in our team!" Momoi said excitedly, probably gaining hype from watching all the other people already bowling.
"Okay, Momoi-chin..." Murasakibara replied, walking over to the girl and Aomine.
"I guess that means Ki-"
"Kuroko-cchi and Kagami-cchi! Our group is so cool!" Kise cheered, cutting off Kagami.
"Tch, geez..."
OoOoOoOoO
"Strike!"
"Again?!"
"Well done Lizzy!"
"Thanks Satsuki." Liz said over the background noise of other bowling games and the pop music that played through the speakers.
"Akashi, we're in the lead." Midorima stated, looking up at the monitor with the three teams and their scores.
"Of course we are. I always win, I always get what I want..." The monochromic boy said, starting off as confident as ever then trailing off with a distant look as he watched Liz interact with the others.
Midorima knew what his teammate meant, and felt a surge of understanding followed by the threat of competition.
The duo of complimentary colours was snapped out of their deep thoughts when their third group member said appeared with a Momoi in tow.
"We're just gonna nip to the little girl's room."
"Don't take too long, Liz." Akashi said, enjoying the way her name tasted on his tongue. (First time I've written anything like that!)
"Okay," Liz walked off with a smile directed at them.
After they left, Kagami caught sight of a few men who looked both too old to be there without a family and very...not nice. What caught his attention was that they were checking out all the teenaged girls in the large room, and seemed especially creepy having seen Momoi and Liz. One of them, a dumpy looking man with stubble and greasy hair even made an immature gesture that, from what Kagami could tell, was supposed to represent the size of Momoi's bust.
The Ace of Seirin nudged Aomine, who was sat next to him, and discreetly motioned to the group of dirty old guys.
~With Momoi and Liz~ #girltalk (I'm so sorry, I felt the need...)
"So do you, y'know, like any of the guys~?" The rosette bumped her hip against her friend's, wiggling her eyebrows with a sneaky smile on her face, that Liz saw in the mirror at the sinks.
With a prominent blush at even the suggestion, Liz replied,
"Uh, well, don't think any less of me, but...I kind of like them all..." The strawberry blonde said with her head down, hiding the blush by making it look like she needed to focus to wash her hands.
"Ah...well that's good and bad..." Momoi said apologetically as if it were partially her own fault.
"What do you mean?"
"You see, I probably shouldn't tell you, so don't tell anyone that I did," Momoi paused to raise an index finger against her lips for the universal sign of 'hush hush',"all the boys like you too, except Kuroko." Now Liz was blushing even more.
"I see..." She was both, very happy, very flattered and very embarrassed. At this moment in time that Liz noticed her hands were becoming more like prunes by the second. 'They're probably clean now...OMFG! The boys all like me? Now I see why that's not great. It's likely they'll try fighting for my attention, and that could get ugly...'
OoOoOoOoO
By the time the girls had stepped out of the toilet, their conversation topic had turned into favourite flavours of foods.
"...so my favourite ice cream flavours are mint and coconut, not together though."
"Hello, ladies~" The female duo turned their heads to the source of the creepy voice, which turned out to be a tall guy who looked like he was in his late thirties and needed an all over clean. He was flocked by two others, Mr. Dumpy who made a cameo appearance earlier, and a guy of average stature, who seemed to have lost his washing machine, if his t-shirt was anything to go by.
It was obvious that these guys didn't bump into them on their way to use the ladies toilets, so Liz, with a firm and steady look, guided Momoi away from them, keeping herself in between her friend and the pedos.
"Oi, c'mon love! It's rude to ignore people! Hey!"
For generally unhealthy looking men, they were able bodied enough to pin both girls against a wall. Liz had the 'leader' of the trio pinning her against the wall on one side of a dead end hall, and Momoi had the two sidekicks cornering her in the same area.
Already, the men were feeling them up, with their dirty hands creeping under their shirts.
"Get the Hell off of me, you bastard!" Liz tried assaulting the man, but he surprisingly blocked or dodged all her attacks. She could hear her poor friend already whimpering for help, and she so desperately wished she was able to do something. Caught up in the seemingly fast moving situation, Liz felt helpless.
Just when the pervert had started to reach for her belt, Liz felt his weight leave her personal space quite rapidly.
She looked around to see her assaulter on the floor at her feet, Kagami a couple of feet away with his fist still in midair, and Momoi hugging Aomine in thanks while he cracked his knuckles. 'Cus beating up two old perverts at once is no sitch.
Looking back to Kagami with a blush, Liz sort of pounced and hugged him with her legs around his torso a and her head in the crook of his neck. And boy does he smell good~.
"Thank you Kagami!" She exclaimed into his shoulder, her breath through the fabric of his t-shirt. He fought back a blush and he felt a sensation in his belly. And it wasn't hunger (for bloody once).
OoOoOoOoO
"What took you so long?!" Kise asked, suspicious of the two aces who had returned with Liz and Momoi.
"Just a couple of perverted old men. Nothing I couldn't handle~" Aomine said smugly.
"Well are you two okay? Do you need anything?" Kise asked with urgency.
"We're fine Kise, calm down...please..." Liz replied with her hands in the air like a surrender with a sweat drop on the side of her head.
After finally calming Kise down, the group resumed their bowling match.
Aomine stepped up to the super slippery laminated wood and bowled with a pose that made him look like he was a pro, and the way he bent at the waist when he released the ball gave Liz a nice view of his toned gluteus maximus. He stood back up and looked at his companions smugly as all the pins fell.
He was still boasting when Liz had picked her ball and poised to bowl.
"...and the only one who can beat me is-"
"Me!" Liz cried, jumping onto Aomine's back as the pins clattered to the floor and the monitor played a stupid cartoon to celebrate. When the score board popped back up, Aomine saw that this had been her sixth strike out of six turns.
"...Tch..."
Liz's P.O.V
I followed Aomine over to the seats, giving Kuroko room to have his go, where the former proceeded to sit down on the last free seat. Since there were only 6 seats and 9 of us in total, I had to stand up. Oh well.
I then caught Akashi looking at me. He sent me a look with his eyes that said "come over here", so I did.
"Is something wrong Aka-" I was a couple of steps away from him, when I was interrupted by a force dragging me down. I noticed that his hand held my wrist, using it to pull me into his lap. Once I disgracefully landed, he wrapped his free arm around my waist, effectively keeping me from moving.
"Yes, something is wrong, Liz," he said into my ear, breath tickling my skin.
And I'm a tomato now.
"You don't pay me enough attention." As he said this, he tightened his grip on my waist ever so slightly and released my wrist to stroke some stray hair away from my face. I would have wriggled away, or attempted to, but I was frozen with embarrassment and, in all honestly, I kind of liked it...
"Oi lovebirds, get a room!" A guy on the alley to our right hollered. Git.
Looks like the guy attracted the others' attention, 'cus I could kind of feel them all burning holes into me.
"Uh...A-Akashich-chii..." Akashi just stared at the blonde who dared to interrupt him with that look of his. "I-it," Kise cleared his throat."It's your g-go now..."
After what seemed like a while of nothing happening, I attempted moving off of his lap. I did so slowly at first, and when I felt his hand (reluctantly) fall from my waist I totally hopped off of him.
"..."
"..."
No one really wanted to talk about it. I mean it's not like we're prudes, but it was very awkward nonetheless.
"We now have four turns left each until the end of the game." Midorima stated. Phew, thank you!
OoOoOoOoO (Regular P.O.V)
Everyone was now down to their last go, and even half way through the game, it was apparent that team Akashi would win. I mean c'mon, Akashi never loses in the first place, and Midorima is always "feeling lucky" and they had Queen Liz of Bowling too.
"Oh guys, it's not like it's basketball or anything! Cheer up!" The strawberry blonde called to the basketball prodigies who were not Kuroko, Midorima or Akashi. Momoi and Kuroko were able to accept defeat gracefully, while everyone else displayed their disappointment .e.g Kise hung his head in shame, Aomine and Kagami were complaining about how close they were to winning, and Murasakibara was just sulking like a child.
Coincidently, everyone but Liz and Titan boy needed a potty break (even though Momoi did go not half an hour ago), leaving the two waiting outside to toilets.
It was quiet between them, and Liz was feeling awkward until a heavy weight suddenly fell on her shoulders. From her peripheral vision she saw the giant boys arms dangling over her shoulders and heat formed on her head where the boy rested his cheek.
"What's up Mura?"
"Nothing...just bored and sleepy~" When he spoke, the vibrations of his deep, lazy voice rumbled through her head and spine gently.
"Okay then, fair enough." After a couple of minutes went by, Liz was struggling under the weight.
"Uh, Mura, do you think you could lean on me a little less?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry..." Liz stood there patiently, and eventually she felt Atsushi move, only to be picked up herself and plopped softly onto a curved marble bench. Behind her, she felt him shift about until he was comfortable. So Liz just sat there, Murasakibara's long arms hugging her waist, and his form slouched over hers. Her lower back was also pressed to his chiseled abdomen.
'Well, I could get used to this~' Liz thought as she relaxed and reclined further into the lazy teen's embrace.
Daw! What a nice way to end it!
Sorry it was really random. I'll be honest, this story has no structure... *bows head in shame*
Arthur Kirkland [APH] : No! Really?
Ashley: Shut up Kirkland! Go back to your own fandom or I'll get Russia on you!
Arthur: You wouldn't!
Ashley: Oh Ivan~!
By the way, I wasn't initially planning on it, but should I add some Kuroko x Liz or not? Let me know!
