The weather outside is effin' FRIGHTFUL...

Who: Roze, Squall, Neku, Musashi, Terri, Lance and Squire...and maybe stupid Seifer [closed]
What: MOVIE NIGHT
When: During the Cat-Dog Storm of '13
Where: Apt F309

It took a little work and more patience than Roze had on her own, but Neku finally manged to transfer some of Roze's ipod to her D-T and a more universal format. Music - thank God - books and movies. Even some of her music videos, which was a bigger relief than she had thought it would be.

Since there had been so much trouble and she'd barely managed to make up for her - in her mind - on the snow day, Roze decided to invite Team Dumbass over for movies and snacks.

Seifer refused. She texted Squall, Seifer and Neku, bouncing back and forth forever but in the end, Seifer blew her off. She had presents for Squall and Seifer both and had hoped to give them over before watching movies. Without Princess there she ended up sliding the box under her bed. He'd made it pretty clear he wanted nothing to do with any of them.

It bothered her, but she'd cope. She was used to disappointment.

So there she sat on the couch with Musashi, ignoring the occasional thuds and yelps or screeches against the outside apartment walls.

Mm, nope, not gonna even think about the crazy ass weather.

"Volcano High...really...I hope Squall doesn't just walk out on me, haha."

"Dude, just open it. Fuck's sake," she muttered, though she had a crooked smile and bashful expression.

Inside the bag was a new coat. It wasn't precisely the same as his older one - a bit more fashion friendly and easily accessorized with outfits that weren't just black leather. It was surprisingly form-fitting and well-sized for him, but then Roze had a good eye for those things.
The fur collar was particularly soft and not so large that it swallowed Squall's face, given any odd angle. The leather was buttery soft and had comfortable give while still being thick and resilient, and the zipper was heavy-duty, unlikely to tear under pressure.

Over all the jacket was as nice and close as they could get, under the circumstances.

For her part, Roze just looked away, finding a spot on the wall behind the couch of great interest. Regardless of the part she played, she let Neku have all the credit.

Hilariously, Neku unknowingly mimicked Roze's gesture, looking away. As if a spot out the window was the most exciting thing in the world.

"You know, since Terri kinda wreaked the old one."

Squall looked at the both of them looking so sheepish and slowly pulled the jacket out of the bag. He stared down at it with surprise in his eyes. It wasn't... exactly his but it still looked beautiful. The fact that it wasn't a size too small didn't even bother him. It was just... beautiful.

He slowly unzipped the front and slid his arms into it, getting the feel of the leather. It smelled so good. It felt... well he would have to break it in, but it was still comfortable. He slowly pulled it off again and folded it in his arms, holding it close.

"Thank you... Roze. Thank you Neku...," he looked like he wanted to say something else, but it felt like that was enough. He smiled down at the two of them. Probably the first time he's actually genuinely smiled in this place.

Looking back at Squall when he spoke, Roze's face turned a shade darker, green eyes darting away hurriedly.

"Yeah well. whatever, y'know? You looked stupid without a jacket," was her mumbled reply as she cleared her throat and gestured vaguely.

"You gonna stand there all night like a scarecrow?"

Once again, the two seemed to share similar reactions to Squall's smile, turning red and refusing to make real eye contact. Neku shoved more of the candies in his mouth as a distraction.

"It looks good."

"Ah... sorry. "

He nodded his head to Roze and giving them both that same grateful smile. He slowly makes his way over to the couch and sits on the other side of Roze. He leaves the jacket in his lap and scoots back into the couch a little. He wanted to tell them that they didn't have to do that, or they shouldn't have, but it felt like maybe that would cheapen the thought they put behind it so he kept his mouth shut on that matter.

Instead he reaches over for the bag and grabs out a bottle of water and sits back, uncapping it.

"Right uh...so...good times," the pink-haired woman coughed, casting a side-long look at both of them and leaning over to pick up her terminal, checking the cord while Musashi shuffled close and sat on the floor to lean against the couch and watch. He only had half interest in the affair and disliked Roze's time spent with others anyways.

"Alright so...here's hopin' the quality and all carries over. Man...Pretty Boy, don't judge me for this. Its not even my best movie..." she mumbled, trailing off as the FBI warning flickered onto the TV screen.

"Looks like your cord worked, Shorty."

"I knew it would. I use the same basic hook up for games." He dug into the snack bag, getting his coffee before squirming around a bit to get comfy.

"And hey, don't blame me for this. I told you not to make me pick."

Squall just gave them both a strange look before turning back to face the TV. He didn't really know what to expect with whatever these two picked. At least there would be fighting right? That's what Roze told him anyway.

"Huh..."

Several hours and two movies later, Roze leaned back into the couch, feets propped on the coffee-table among wrapped and empty drinks, arms stretched behind Neku and Squall.

"So! Shorty, Pretty Boy, whatcha think? You like this movie thing?" she asked, arching a brow at Musashi, who was asleep on the floor. "Think it could be a thing once in a while? I know all my movies didn't make it but I can probably find more in town once the weather stops bein' quite so batshit...And you know...anytime you guys wanna add to the pool, that'd be great."

"Yeah that'd be fine with me. I mean, there's not much to do around here."

He yawned, even with all the coffee in his system- movies always made him tired.

He shrugs his shoulders. He'd probably just go with it anyway, since Roze likes to push him into doing things. he shifts back into his seat a little more and glances at them. It was weird watching movies with someone again. The only one he had seen before was Seifer's favorite, and he always made them watch it constantly.

Roze wasn't about to make anyone watch the same shit over and over again. She liked variety - in most aspects of her life. Tilting her gaze down to Squall's new coat, the pink-haired girl smiled and huffed a soft laugh before glancing over at Neku and nudging him gently.

"You spendin' the night night, Shorty?" she asked, before leaning over and kissing his temple. "Thanks for fixing the movies up n'all. You're a lifesaver."

Neku flushed bright red. Which in turn made his hair even brighter looking.

"N-ngh no, I can make it home fine! I left Terri, after all..."

He snorted a little at Neku's reaction. It amused him a little when it was happening to someone else and not him. He couldn't use Neku's excuse though. Kudamon has been sleeping around his neck the whole time.

"You can take some of the snacks home for her and yourself if you leave. "

"Grown ups gotta talk anyways. Get your shit and get out," she rumbled, nudging him gently and ruffling his hair.

"I like it better when its down. You look less like an American college douchebag and more like someone I'd hook up with if I couldn't use his head for a tit-shelf. Though that's kinda convenient in itself," she snickered, narrowing her eyes at him.

"I'm gonna laugh when I hit my last growth spurt and am like, 6'5" or something." Neku huffed, though he was obviously kidding, snagging up some of the food as he headed out.

"Don't tear him up too much."

"Hope you don't, Shorty, or you'll be on my radar more than you already are," she remarked casually, waving her fingers at him and flashing that lazy shark smile. she leaned, grabbing an empty bottle and tossed it at the door, hitting the frame near his head as he passed.

"Don't forget to thank Terri for lettin' your leash have a little slack, huh?" she snickered, looping her arm around Squall's shoulder as she did.

"We do," he gave her a curious look, apparently forgetting about their chat from earlier. He was wondering if she was going to hit him or something, because she made it sound really serious.

"Ah... Neku. Thank you again... for the Jacket." He gives him another gentle smile as he makes his way toward the door. He freezes a little when she loops her arm with his but still smiles at Neku.

"So..." Roze trailed off, poking a snack wrapper with a toe and nodding towards the bedroom. "I'm gonna wash up, brush my teeth and all. You promised spoons and talkin'. So...I promised talkin' too. You wanna go home and get washed up or what?" she asked, arching a brow at Squall and nudging him gently.

"I made sure tonight was your night."

He shakes his head to her question and start bending down to pick up the empty snack bags and empty drink containers. She shouldn't have to clean it up when Squall was the one that brought everything.

"I don't need to go home. I'll be fine waiting for you. "

"You sure you don't wanna go home and wash up? You're spending the night," she remarked, not really giving a lot of room for argument as she watched him clean for a moment, then slipped off to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Whether he left or not, Roze eventually slipped by to her room, leaving the door open for him and crawling under the covers. Musashi was still asleep in the living room and she didn't want to bother him. If he wanted in the bed he'd get there later when he woke up.

Leaning up against one of the walls in her room was a plain white gift box with a small tag that said 'Princess' on it. Obviously she had intended to gift Seifer as well, but he had opted out, leaving her with a lonely box that she sat, ignored, in a corner to gather dust.

Squall had finished cleaning up the trash and he never ended up going home. He didn't realize when he agreed to this it was to spend the night, but theres no saying no to her. She would hunt him down and take over his own place if he left now. He set what was left of the snacks back onto the table and stood up.

She didn't come back out here, was everything okay? He frowned a bit and bent down to gently pick up Musashi from his spot on the ground. Unfortunately he had a soft spot for these kind of things so leaving him there would have felt wrong.

He glanced around again and spotted a door that wasn't open before. Maybe Roze went in there. He covered his eyes before walking in and very gently lies Musashi down at the end of her bed.

" I didn't mean to intrude."

Yep, this dork still has his eyes covered.

"What the heck are you doin' Pretty Boy?" Uncover your eyes. For goodness sake this isn't even the first time we've been "alone" together," she grumbled, propping her head on one hand and arching a brow his way. She was still wearing the long-sleeved turtle-neck; whether for Squall's sake or because she was still uncomfortable about all her wounds was his guess.

"Come on in," she patted the bed lightly, turning onto her side and facing the far wall.

Yes, there was something wrong, but not so bad as he might have imagined. She was simply anxious, having given her word to talk about everything and anything, while she still wouldn't even talk to Dante. But then, different people shared different relationships.

He slowly parted his fingers and breathed a sigh in relief when he saw that she was still clothed. He was worried he might have walked in on her while she was undressing or something. He nodded his head to her orders and slowly sits on the bed. He gently removes Kudamon from his neck and he ends up slithering down near Musashi to go back to sleep. Kudamon was exhausted dealing with Squall and his crazy antics this past week so Squall figured he deserved the rest.

He slowly moved down next to her and moved his hand to her shoulder. It was still really uncomfortable to be this close to people.
