To the movies

Having the time to spare the two of you walk slowly towards the movie theater. Alex is starring at his phone focused on trying to order the two of you tickets. You cling to his arm and gently help him kake sure he doesn't walk into something.

"So what movie are you taking me to?" You ask lovingly.

"Deathgore Seven: Damned Blood." He responds, sounding proud of himself.

"Wait they made another one? Seriously that series haven't been good since the second one!"

"Yes i know. But i figured we either get a good scary movie or a so bad it's funny movie."

"Is this part of your scheme of getting in my pants by the end of the night?" You flirt.

"Well so far i think my plan is working." He flirts back.

"oh i think i agree." You respond sounding just the appropriate amount of horny. You feel happy as his eyes widen a little with exitment.

The two of you continue walking in silence for a bit before you remember something"By the way, don't worry about the cost. I will pay you back for everything." You say reassuringly.

You almost trip forward as he suddenly stop. "What did you say?" He asks looking at you, sounding kinda hurt for some reason.

"I said i will pay you later, i will transfer the money to your account when we get home so don't worry about it." You explain mildly confused as to why he suddenly got upset.

"No, no you don't have to do that." He says trying to deflect the subjekt.

"Why wouldn't i do that?" You ask still confused why he suddenly is against you being the one paying for things as you always. "Especially now that i am the one with an income."

The way he looks at you makes you think that he would have prefered a kick to the balls for some reason. He stares at you just stunned. "Alex?" you ask, trying to get a reaction from him.

"So i guess in all the two dates you have gone to before you where fine with the girl paying for everything?" He asks sounding very angry. You let go of his arm shocked at his behavior.

"Alex i don't understand why this is such a big deal. You don't have a problem with me paying for things usually." You raise your voice sounding hurt and confused back at him.

"Well that's just fine isn't it?! Of course you have to take care of me at every turn. I am such a destitute loser that i can't even pay for us going out!" He is screaming now and pacing back and forth with anger. You are honestly taken aback, clearly this was a way bigger deal than anticipated. You honestly don't remember how you felt about paying for dates as a guy since it really had been a while and neither of the girls you went out with ever offered to pay. You don't think it would have upsett you to be honest, then again maybe it would have. Altough having been a poor high school student you probably wouldn't have minded it.

"Alex." You say softly trying to calm him down. He stops pacing and but stares ahead rather than looking at you. "You hug his arm again and give his shoulder a soft kiss. "Come on we are going to be late." You say softly.

You walk in tense silence towards the movie teater. You don't have to look at him to know that he is still feeling hurt. He practically radiates with it. Finally the neon light of the teater comes into view. "Hey, can i have a large popcorn at the movie?" You ask suddenly with a soft hesitant voice, hopping desperately that it might deflate the situation.

Fortunately it seems to work as you feel Alex relaxing. "You still hungry?" he asks, the anger in his voice nearly gone.

"No, i just feel that i really want popcorn while watching the movie." You respond meekly.

Without having to look at him you know that he is smiling. "Do you want anything else?" he asks, sounding happy to comply with your requests.

"Well i am going to get thirsty if i am going to have popcorn so maybe a soda?" You ask softly trying the limit.

"Sure, definitively." he respond, his mood suddenly as bright as before.

"And gummi worms, i want gummi worms if they have them" You say enthusiastically as the mood improvement suddenly gives you a craving.

"Of course you can have gummi worms."

You get the tickets and snack up in preparation for the movie. You don't say anything as Alex pays, opting instead to look very happy with what he got you. Having about half an hour before you are let in the two of you plopp down on a bench. You take extra care to slide up to him, resting your head against his shoulder.

"You want me to hold something for you while we wait?" he asks.

"You can be my popcorn holder." You announce and put the bucket of popcorn in his lap.

"Are you sure, i can't promise that some of them won't disappear" He says grabs some for himself.

"Lucky for me that you bought me a big one then" You giggle, grabbing some for yourself.

You sitt in silence for a bit. Get a feeling that you have to address is nagging at you. "No more fighting right?" You ask carefully.

"No more fighting." he respond sounding regretful.

"i'm sorry that i yelled." He ads.

"I love you Alex." You respond softly

"I love you to"

"Kiss me" You instruct him lifting your face. You share a soft and loving kiss, ending the argument with your warm lips pressed against eachothers. You smile at one another as you break away, all bad feelings disintegrated.

"Give me some soda." He says in the same tone as you.

"No, if you wanted soda you should have gotten some for yourself." You playfully reprimand him.

"Right to i can't guarantee that there will be any popcorn left when i get back." He responds and starts standing up with a firm grip on your bucket.

"No wait" You say with playful desperation and pull him back down.

"Just a small sip okay." You respond holding up your soda cup next to him. offering up the straw.

"I promise just a small sip." He lies as he immediately start sucking down hard on your drink.

"Stop it, stop it." You half yell and softly hit his back with your palm while trying to get your soda away from his face.

"AAAaaaAAhh" He sighs as if he is in a soft drink commercial that is supposed to be unbelievably refreshing.

"Yeah you better appreciate that." You say as you grab some more popcorn. he quickly does the same.

"You know, at this rate there will be no more snacks for the movie." he says after having eaten a mouthful. You respond by showing your of fist of popcorn into your mouth happily.

Just before you enter the movie salong you deposit the empty bucket of popcorn, dry soda cup and what remains of the plastic bag that once contained your gummi worms in the bin outside. You and Alex don't care though as you are both smiling like a pair of lovestruck teenagers.
