To be truthful, you are not really paying attention to the TV show playing on the screen right now, half-heartedly at best. Though if Yuuji were to ask, you might fib a little bit and tell him you are. It is the fourth (or fifth?) episode of an old TV show that Yuuji really likes: one that neither you nor Megumi was familiar with when Yuuji first brought it up in conversation. When Yuuji heard that neither of you knew of the show and how good it was, he sought to remedy that situation as quickly as possible.
He proclaimed that an “emergency” movie night was in order. You laughed at how seriously Yuuji said it while Megumi deadpanned at Yuuji’s dramatics. You didn’t see an issue with a movie night at all. It was already late in the afternoon, and none of you had classes nor missions to worry about waking up early for the next day. It’s also been some time since the three of you have had a chance to relax all together. Though you see each other daily, participating in classes, training, and missions is completely different than simply enjoying each other’s company.
Without much thought, you easily agreed to Yuuji’s idea. After hesitating for a few moments, Megumi acquiesced. (Yuuji and you know he would have agreed anyway.) You decided that your room was probably the best place to host a movie night since you had the most pillows and blankets on hand. You left the common room, where you were lounging around, to go off to your respective dorms before meeting up at yours later.
You’re quick to grab your extra blankets and pillows from where you store them in your closet, tossing them into a pile on your bed after you’ve gathered them. You take some time to tidy your room, picking up and disposing of trash into the waste bin by your nightstand and straightening out some loose-leaf papers scattered across the surface of your desk.
Since you’re still dressed in your uniform, you sift through your closet before grabbing a pair of athletic shorts and a sweatshirt that you stole from Yuuji and quickly change. As you’re slipping the sweatshirt over your head, you hear a loud knock on your door.
“It’s unlocked," you call out. You pull the sweatshirt down the length of your torso and turn around to face Megumi and Yuuji, who are shuffling in through your door together. Similar to you, each of them has changed out of their uniforms and into more casual and comfortable clothing.
"You guys are going to love this show," Yuuji promises, flopping face down onto your bed with a thud. The pile of pillows and blankets bounce, and the bowl of popcorn in his hand jostles, a few pieces managing to fly out of the container.
"Be careful, Yuuji. You're going to make a mess on the bed," Megumi comments. He carefully picks up the stray kernels that had fallen out of the bowl as Yuuji pushes himself up into a sitting position. He wrinkles his nose when Yuuji opens his mouth wide, urging Megumi to feed him the popcorn. Megumi pulls a face but drops the kernels into Yuuji's awaiting mouth.
"Thanks, Gumi," Yuuji says, beaming. His Adam's apple bobs as he chews and swallows, finishing off the popcorn that had fallen onto your bed.
"Shut up," Megumi mutters, looking away.
On the far side of your bed, where you've made yourself comfortable, you giggle to yourself, recognizing the slow heat crawling up Megumi's neck. It's genuinely so cute how he still gets so flustered around the two of you sometimes, despite how long you all have been together. At the sound of your amusement, Megumi shoots a glare your way before settling down onto the bed beside Yuuji.
“I set up the tv already, so we can start watching whenever you guys are ready to,” you chirp. The bowl of popcorn hovers over Yuuji’s lap as you grab one of the blankets on your bed and open it up to spread it over all of you.
“You’re so prepared for everything,” Yuuji says while handing the bowl off to Megumi to grab the remote and click play on the tv series he’s so intent on showing you two. You quietly snort at the praise. You’re really not, but you won’t refute Yuuji on the matter. If you try to argue with him, he’ll pause the show to list all the reasons why he’s right. Really, quite endearing and sweet of him.
You hum in agreement and move past Yuuji’s comment, choosing to snuggle into his side. He automatically wraps an arm around your shoulder as you press your face into his chest. Yuuji runs pretty warm most of the time, designating him as the personal space heater for you and Megumi to latch onto when it’s cold.
Megumi follows your lead and leans his head against Yuuji’s shoulder. His cheeks color the slightest bit when Yuuji absentmindedly presses a quick kiss to the side of his head. He drapes his arm over Yuuji’s lap, plopping the bowl of popcorn to rest on top of Yuuji’s legs, so it’s easily accessible for everyone. The three of you quiet down as the intro sequence of the show begins to play across the screen.
You mindlessly snack on the popcorn throughout the first episode. It’s pretty slow, but the premise of the show seems interesting enough. You can see why Yuuji is so fond of it. Your attention begins to wane as the credits for the third episode roll across the screen. Your eyes wander away from the tv and onto the boys next to you.
Yuuji is enraptured by the show, his eyes gleaming with enjoyment as the lights from the tv screen flicker across his face. His mouth moves and you think you can hear him mutter something like so cool under his breath. What a dork.
Your gaze drifts to Megumi. He looks a little sleepy, his eyes are slightly lidded, and his body is completely lax against Yuuji’s, but he’s still paying attention to the show. He looks so cute tucked into Yuuji’s side, so soft when it’s only the three of you around.
As if he can feel you staring, Megumi turns his head slightly to look in your direction. He raises a questioning brow, but you just smile in response. Your hand resting in Yuuji’s lap brushes against Megumi’s knuckles. You nudge the side of his hand with your own, prompting him to flip his palm over for you. Fitting your fingers between his, you gently squeeze your joined hands. A content sigh slips past your lips when Megumi returns the gesture, softly squeezing your hand.
You press yourself closer to Yuuji, curling into his side even more. A small smile forms on your lips when he rests the side of his face against your head and presses a barely noticeable kiss to your hair. Surrounded by warmth and love, you let your eyes drift shut. Taking a little nap won’t hurt.
