You wanna bet?

[Manjoume starts to open his mouth to say something more, but then finally there's an interruption from someone sitting a few rows down below them.]

"Will you two shut up already, the movie is about to start soon!!"

[blastedass]

How much?

[Someone has to open their damn mouths at that moment, don't they?]

URUSEI!! IT'S JUST ADS FOR THE NEXT TEN MINUTES, YOU SHIT!!

[thundercrashes]

YEAH, SO WHO GIVES A SHIT UNTIL THE MOVIE ACTUALLY STARTS?

[How dare this person interrupt their dumb argument... but once he actually says that to the interruption, Manjoume sighs and leans back in his chair, crossing his arms instead of returning to the banter he and Bakugou were engaging in before.

It would probably be wiser to be quieter, before their fellow movie goers potentially realize who they are from all their arguing...]

[blastedass]

EAT SHIT AND DIE!! NO ONE ASKED YOU!!

[That'll shut the fucker up. Bakugou leans back in his seat, satisfied the other person has been beaten into submission. Double teamed. Manjoume yelling as well was a nice bonus. This is the guy he's dating.

Not that Bakugou picks up the argument again either. Seems the interruption stole the steam. Returning to stuff like that isn't his style. At least they manage to avoid getting called out by anyone in the theater.]

5000 yen there's more than five ads before the damn trailers actually start.

[thundercrashes]

I'm not taking that bet, it's too likely to be true.

[but it does give them something to grump about together rather than their weird threatening/flirting they were doing before]

I wouldn't even be shocked if it's a ton of ads, and then only like three trailers by comparison.

[blastedass]

Tch, people will probably avoid buying shit out of spite.

[All these ads will only get the audience to associate the company and product with invasive and delaying, neither positive aspects that would entice participation.]

It's almost as bad as television.

[thundercrashes]

Yeah. It's why I don't watch tv much anymore, except for whatever Duel Monster tournament is on that I'm not already participating in.

[Or whenever they deign to do reruns of old Battle City footage... especially the duels with Seto Kaiba, those have always been his favorite.]

[blastedass]

It's not all bad. Especially if you use ad blockers on the computer and smart TVs.

[Not only does it give you a better service, but it's just fucking amusing to know the companies are raging over people finding out how to skip their stupid advertisements interrupting the REASON people come to their sites in the first damn place.

Bakugou tends to focus on the news and shows/channels he likes rather than avoiding TV entirely.]

[thundercrashes]

Mmm, true. Can't do anything about ads playing in places like this, though...

[Speaking of which, another ad plays, but it actually has someone recognizable--or at least, recognizable to Manjoume. Edo Phoenix appears on the screen suddenly, dramatically jumping out of a helicopter promoting something or other for an upcoming line of who gives a shit, Manjoume certainly doesn't.]

Ugh, for example, wish I had an Ad blocker right now for this dramatic bastard.

[Manjoume respects him as a fellow duelist to compete against, but that doesn't mean he would want to see any of the stupid commercials Edo tends to wind up being in.]

[blastedass]

Ignore them.

[Bakugou leans back in his seat and takes his phone out, keeping the screen dimmed so he can scroll through some messages that came up during the wait. He glances towards the screen when Edo appears. Ah, one of the other Hero deck users. Wasn't this guy the Destiny Hero specialist? The helicopter bullshit is as ridiculous as ever, but if that's what he has to do to grab attention, good fucking luck.]

You're giving him what he wants by watching.

[Not that the guy had any way of knowing if Manjoume was sitting in a theater staring at his stupid face on the screen. Bakugou instead moves his hand to shove his phone into Manjoume's face.]

They're coming out with themed phone cases.

[He's keeping his voice a whisper next to Manjoume's ear so as to not bother the other movie goers. Themed towards some of the famous duelists around.]

[thundercrashes]

[Normally, Manjoume would be annoyed at things being shoved into his face like that, but this time he lets it slide as he looks at the screen Bakugou is showing him about phone cases: certainly better than watching a commercial Edo is in.

He'd be more enthusiastic if there was a phone case coming promoting the Sanda brand, but sadly he hasn't gotten signed on for something like that recently. Not yet, anyway. Instead, he asks--]

Are there any new ones based on Seto Kaiba and his deck?

[blastedass]

[He has his preferences. Besides, sitting through a bunch of shit commercials before the trailer is an event no one should have to deal with at the movies. They have that crap when their programs are interrupted in television. Sheesh. No fucking reason for it to be in a movie theater.

Unfortunately this is more of a hardcore accessory company who creates strong accessories (duh) for phones. Nothing ground breaking, but Bakugou likes the armored design of the cases the create. Trusted brand. So them finally opting to dabble in themes is a plus to hear.]

Yeah... Here. [After a few scrolls, he passes the phone back, revealing their "Dragon" line that introduces Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Armed Ojama, and Cyber. The "Knights" line is a mixture of Black Magician, Heroes, Harpies, and Cyber Angels.

These things are touted to survive a two-story roof-to-ground fall with at worst some scratching.]

[thundercrashes]

[Oooh, good. He opens his own phone briefly to make a personal note to himself to remember to look into potentially ordering the Blue Eyes case... but to also look at Red Eyes, and of course Armed Dragon. He's gotta think about representation for one of his best monsters, after all.

The lights in the theater suddenly start to dim, and Manjoume quickly passes Bakugou back his phone so that they can set them aside before someone can potentially bitch at them as the trailers for the movie they're here to watch finally start.]

About damn time, what took them so long...

[blastedass]

[Bakugou pulls his phone back once Manjoume makes a note, then puts it to sleep before shoving it into his pocket as the theater lights dim. About time too. The fucking commercials are a pain in the ass. Trailers hopefully won't be a waste of time. If a bunch of crap's coming out, they're screwed.

He snorts at Manjoume's gripe, not entire sure if it's for the theater's advertisement taking too long or the phone company waiting till now for themed cases. Who knows.]

Partnerships.

[That'll answer both, with the same grumpy tone as well.]

[thundercrashes]

Mmm.

[Manjoume nods to indicate that he heard the answer given, and will accept it here as he's finally gone quiet on his side here. A lot of the trailers are geared towards marketing action-type movies, which makes sense given the choice of movie the two of them had eventually settled on to watch together. Explosions, fast cars, even one that appears to be Duel Monsters related that Manjoume makes a mental note of to look up later, so on and so forth until the lights dim further and the movie, finally, begins in earnest.

Because it's an action movie, the likelihood of devolving into certain date cliches like holding onto his boyfriend during scary or intense scenes is pretty low, but when Manjoume isn't taking a bite of popcorn or a sip of his drink here, he does leave his hand next to Bakugou on the arm rest in-between them--a silent offer that the indulgence of holding hands is still on the table is so desired.]

[blastedass]

[Bakugou picks up on the action-themed films, noting the ones that pique his interest, including the Duel Monsters trailer. It's ironic that there's definite truth to Duel Monsters being far more than a card game (even more than the Dueling Heroes with their hard-light monsters helping the heroes) and having cataclysmic results if left unchecked. Bakugou initially hadn't believed Manjoume's story when he first met him, but over time, found out the truth. Likely a good thing that information's not made public... Enough fucking bastards gunning for dangerous cards on top of Quirks.

Sorry, Manjoume. Bakugou is not the holding hand type. Outside of flush-faced occasional while walking, or the more normal during-intimacy moments when he definitely holds onto his boyfriend's hand(s). But once or twice during the movie, when he's reaching for popcorn or drink, their hands bump and Manjoume gets a brief nudge or grip for the hell of it. Mostly because he knows his boyfriend likes that kind of thing even if the duelist would rather be caught dead than admit it.]


[ooc: yo! just a heads up that i'm gonna be offline later tomorrow through mid-sun due to holiday + family. i'll be back to pick this pure fun up when i get my comp up again! also taking the time to say thanks so much for indulging in this cr with me! i've had a lot of fun with them and really look forward expanding more with them! thanks!]

[thundercrashes]

[Don't worry, he knows that Bakugou is not the holding hand type, and would also rather be caught dead than to indulge in that sort of thing in a public setting. Even if it is a dark movie theater and no one else is going to see it, it's still technically a public place after all.

But, Manjoume appreciates his boyfriend's attempt to reciprocate with the occasional nudge or grip of his hand in acknowledgement during the movie. And he'll even be nice enough to not point out that Bakugou even did anything so that he isn't embarrassed... not during the movie, anyway. Maybe later, once the movie ends and they're alone somewhere again.

Until then, they've got roughly two hours of a movie to watch, and thankfully, there doesn't seem to be anything about the movie itself that would drive either of them to get bored or annoyed. Aside from being a bit cheesy and generic for an action movie, but that's probably to be expected, or so Manjoume tends to think. There's a couple sitting below them, thankfully not blocking the view, but they are a little noisier and causing the light of a cellphone screen to initially be tilted upward in the direction of where Manjoume and Bakugou are sitting, but for now, Manjoume isn't going to get their attention to tell them to put the damn phone away yet. It's not his job to police that sort of thing, it's the ushers. Hopefully they don't end up irritating Bakugou instead by comparison, but otherwise it looks like it'll be an uneventful movie viewing until the end...]

[ooc: yes, of course! I'm very thankful that you've been having fun threading with me, as I've grown to love this CR a lot! Can't wait to do more with our boys soon, and I hope you have a good holiday!]

[blastedass]

[That's soft, sappy things. Not as bad as kissing said boyfriend, something Bakugou's gotten better at doing out in public. Manjoume can sometimes get the blonde to pink if he kisses him out in the open, though this the same guy who'll catch the duelist's scarf and pull him in for a kiss because he fucking wants to.

He's picky with his PDA things. So long as he's the one initiating it, then it's not as bad. Getting it initiated on him definitely embarrasses him, even if he likes it. Which he does. Manjoume feels good whenever he does stuff with him, from those deft fingers sliding over his own to his soft lips brushing against his as they kiss. Even the embraces after they go a while without seeing each other. Or a casual fist bump when they do something cool. Little things like that. Cool things.

Someone's using their cellphone during the movie? The first time, Bakugou's going to just glare the second he gets distracted from the film due to it. But nothing yet. The second time, however-]

Put your damn phone away, you asshole! [God, there's a movie going on! Why are people so fucking inconsiderate?! If they want to blind themselves and not watch the movie, then duck your stupid heads under the seat and die with the trash on the floor! Better not have to be told twice or there's going to be some issues... And Bakugou at least snapped at them when there was no dialogue going on in the movie, so... he was considerate himself.]


[ooc: aww that's a great thing to hear! hope you have a great holiday as well, and safe travels if you go or good rest if you're just gonna be able to take it easy!]

[thundercrashes]

[They get a few startled glares directed at them in response, but next to Bakugou here... Manjoume is actually trying really hard to not be heard laughing in response. And so far doing a poor job of it.]

Did you see the look on their faces just now?

[He does however lower his voice here to whisper at Bakugou here after the people in front of them turn their attention back to the movie.]

[blastedass]

[Bakugou's glare is a million times worse than theirs, daring any of them to say shit at him without directing their ire towards the rude bastards flashing a cellphone in the middle of a damn movie.

Manjoume's barely-concealed laughter probably doesn't net them any points, but Bakugou thinks his boyfriend's cool for it. He's got a handsome smug face, you know.]

Two of them. They better turn around if they don't wanna die.

[Because he'll totally end anyone who tries to make an issue out of his demand. That's right. Turn your asses around and face the screen before you get decked. Be intimidated. Fucking extras.]

[thundercrashes]

[Sure enough, the people in front of them quickly turn back around to face the movie instead, as well as turn their cellphone's light off. As a result, Manjoume can't help but chuckle a little at all this.]

Looks like you scared them with that. Good job.

[blastedass]

[Bastards. Why do people come to the theater if they don't want to watch the movie, and/or are stupid enough to forget there are other people in the theater? Bakugou sinks back in his seat with a quiet growl before kicking his feet up on the seat in front of him. No one's there, so why not?]

Pussies.

[So proud of himself.]

[thundercrashes]

[As he should be.

They reach the end of the movie thankfully without any further interruptions, and once the credits roll and the lights start to come up, some of their fellow moviegoers are quick to dart out rather than stick around.

Manjoume for his part is not so hasty, taking a moment to check to make sure he doesn't have any popcorn kernels on his clothing that needs to be brushed off as he speaks.]

So what did you think of the movie?

[blastedass]

[Bakugou snirks when when the troublemakers run away before they can get yelled at again. Good. He would've broken them all over again if they tried saying shit. There's nothing really worth looking at in the credits so Bakugou packs up.

He flicks a popcorn kernel off his thigh as he stands up, though really hasn't made a mess of anything. Respect the ushers.] 8 out of 10. Some of the dialogue was forced, but the action was good.

[thundercrashes]

The dialogue was about what I expected from this kind of movie, but yeah, the action was fun enough.

[Once he's satisfied that he doesn't have any popcorn kernels or the like stuck to his clothing, Manjoume stands and stretches a bit here before he will reach to pick up some of their stuff here too to help dispose of before they leave.]

You didn't get too full on popcorn, right? We have plans for eating out after this, if you're still good with that.
