✾ - TV series that I love

      Rifling through all the DVD's in Rin's room's was a monumental task, and limiting it down to just his horror movies was just as difficult. He had everything from the cheesy movies that had crappy quality gore effects to the hardcore ones that went crazy with blood and guts and made it as graphic as possible. It almost made her question why he had this many, but the few people she'd brought it up to just chalked it up to him being a teenage boy and nothing more.

      Letting her gaze fall sideways to the teen beside her, Makoto's face wasn't doing much to indicate to her any he was favoring over others, movie wise. The two of them were silent as they perused what Rin's desk had to offer, but then again Makoto was most likely afraid to agree to any of them simply because of the genre. And even when he finally spoke, his voice was laced with uncertainty.

      "So which one are you going to pick?"

      Another momentary bit of silence from Gou, and finally her fingers tightened around one box in particular and pulled it away from the others.

      "This one. It's tame enough that both of us can handle it."

      A small smile tugged at her lips at her own comment, she knew that both of them weren't very good with anything particularly bloody, but her own logical rationale was it'd be an excuse for them to hold each other tight when things got scary. Makoto nodded and brushed at an invisible piece of lint as they both stood back up, doing his best to keep a brave face on in the face of what they were going to watch. He was basically just going along with this because it was his girlfriend who wanted to watch something like this, otherwise he'd have been suggesting something completely different.

      After they exited Rin's bedroom, the pair dispersed in the hallway; Makoto to gather up all the pillows they were going to lean against while they watched the movie, Gou to pull a sweater on to make sure she was comfortable while they were in the other room. She was last into the room, as their 'seats' were getting set up by the time she came in, and Makoto said he was ready to go whenever Gou was, and Gou situated herself beside him after putting the DVD in the player and grabbing the remote. Tucking herself into his side and smiling to herself as Makoto's arm came around her shoulder, she turned more toward him and let her own arm wrap around him. Much better than simply leaning back against the couch and leaning against him a little.

      Some time into the movie, Gou realized that it wasn't as bad as she initially thought it would be. Sure she was flinching at times, but in general she was doing good at keeping her composure. Until the movie went silent for a moment until the next character got killed off in a rather dramatic fashion and the loud noises had both of the teenagers jumping in their seats and Makoto going so far to hide his face in Gou's hair. Essentially the equivalent of jumping behind Haru in situations past.

      Drawing in a shaky breath, Gou lifted her head up to look up at Makoto, and even in the dim lighting she noticed that his expression was stiff, along with the rest of his body to be honest.

      "You okay?" That was probably a rather stupid question, but they'd gotten through more than two-thirds of the movie before they'd both been visibly startled.

      "Yeah, I'm fine."

      That was a bit subjective of a thing to say, because he wasn't quite as fine as he could be, but on the other hand they weren't turning the movie off because neither could handle it. At the same time though, Gou figured a momentary distraction for the both of them was in order; do them both some good to have their attention diverted.

      Wiggling a little in her spot to face him better, Gou brought a hand up to Makoto's cheek to bring his attention downward, and when it did she used the hold on his cheek to draw him closer and press their lips together. Better to be distracted with each other for a few minutes over being startled again. Once their mouth were joined Gou's hand moved forward to wind into Makoto's hair and they soon found a comfortable rhythm for their lips to move against each other's. They were content staying that way for a few long moments, and another loud noise from the movie as the climax of it was happening drew them apart and refocusing on it. Didn't mean they weren't holding onto each other a bit tighter now as the gore (cheesy as it was) was at its highest.

      But once the movie was done, they could both relax as the credits began rolling. Stretching her back and shifting in her spot, Gou yawned a little and nuzzled into Makoto's chest, the lethargic feeling from sitting for so long in the dim room making her feel sleepy; and being paired with leaning against her warm, comfortable boyfriend just made it that much stronger a feeling.

"Gou..."

"Yes?"

"Can we watch something else next time?"

Yawning again and tightening her arm around him, Gou nodded and stayed where she was for now.

      As the main present for him was getting the finishing touches on it, Gou was smiling to herself looking at it, imagining her boyfriend's reaction to it. Moving so far away from home was going to be hard for him, so having something to keep the team so near and dear to his heart would be a nice thing for him. In a way he'd asked her to do this part for her anyway, but she was going above and beyond what he'd asked for to make it that much nicer.

      The notecards to her right were still blank for the most part, not having written what needed to be written on them quite yet, but she had the magazine clippings set aside for reference. Something for her apparently cooking ability deficient boyfriend to utilize.

      Thinking about him leaving, it brought a sad smile to the Matsuoka's face, but still a smile nonetheless. Gou was sad to see the soon to be graduate leave Iwatobi for the big city, and she'd miss him quite a lot now that the connection between them was beyond that of team captain and manager that'd been the foundation for their friendship the past two years. He was her boyfriend, her sentiments towards him were of a romantic nature now.

      But despite knowing that she'd miss seeing him on a daily basis like she was accustomed to, Gou was excited for him to go and get acclimated to city life in Tokyo. For him to see more of the world outside the small town that they called their home, become more of his own person. She wanted to hear stories from him about things he sees and does, people that he might come across, things he'll want her to see during a visit, and just how he's enjoying living somewhere other than Iwatobi. There was going to be a lot for him to experience, and she wanted to share that experience with him as best she could despite the physical difference.

      She knew the long distance was going to be difficult for them, they'd been going out for less than a month now, and they'd celebrate their one month the day before he left for Tokyo. Knowing that, she'd been savoring every minute spent with him, every touch she could give him, and enjoying the affection given to her in return. Soon enough they'd have to be settling for text messages and phone calls and video chats on Skype in order to talk to each other. Train tickets were cheap enough to afford, but the eight hour travel time by train made it difficult for Gou to just up and decide to go for a visit; they wouldn't be happening as frequently than if he'd only gone to Kyoto for example. But it was what it was, they'd have to make do until Gou was graduating herself and had to decide where to settle down for her four years of uni; it already seemed like an eternity away.

      Heaving a weary sigh, Gou started gathering up everything on her bed and moving it to her desk; she'd finish his present in the morning. At the rate she was going it'd be very late at night by the time she finished up the last little thing and got it all packaged up, so best to just save it until she has more time. Only detouring to turn off her bedroom overhead light, Gou sighed again as she slid into bed and curled her legs up and pulled the blanket up past her shoulders.
