Work Text:
Lev might as well have opened the gates of hell. Gotten kicked out of the volleyball club. Killed a cat. It's not that bad, really. He thinks.
“Lev. Have you lived ? Did you skip childhood entirely ?”
“Um, no ? It did happen and I was in Russia ?”
“Oh my God that explains everything.”
Ok, Lev is not the brightest cat out there – but just you wait, he's working on it. It's just that… he's never seen these movies ? It can't be that bad.
“Ok but please tell me you've seen My Neighbour Totoro.”
“No ?
“Howl's Moving Castle ?”
“Inuoka, I told you already, the only Japanese animated movie I've ever seen is the Dragon Ball movie with Kenma, and that was last week.”
The whole team is now making uncomfortable faces and Lev is thinking that maybe they're overreacting a little. He hasn't seen any Ghibli studios movie, and so what ? He's alive and kicking.
“Kuroo, this calls for movie nights.”
“Yeah. Kenma's house is the biggest, I suggest we all go there.”
If Yaku and Kuroo come to an agreement so fast, then maybe Lev is missing out, a little bit.
“So, how was it ?”
“Shut up, Yamamoto, he still hasn't finished crying.”
“But- but- Shibayama, how can Chihiro go back ? Will she ever see Haku again ? And-” Kenma has been quietly sniffing on his lap, too, why isn't anyone looking fondly at them ? “-this ending song is way too beautiful…”
[From: Shou] You saw Totoro ??? Kenma texted me!!!
[From: Lev!!!] kenma wouldnt let me out of the house before id seen AT LEAST chihiro and totoro
[From: Lev!!!] im not complaining though the movies r great
[From: Shou] They are!! Next time you're at my house we're watching Ponyo with Natsu!! It's gonna be so great!!!! :DDD
“If you do more receives, we can watch Castle in the Sky on Saturday, ok ?”
This is low, very low of Kenma. Not that Lev would tell them – they're not Yaku but height jokes still aren't a good idea. Tried once, never again. But if it makes Yamamoto snicker well joke's on him because Lev will have his movie night, and his movie cuddles, even if he has to go through hell for them. Or receives. Same thing. Kenma whispers that Lev is a fool – it's too tiring to be worth the reward but they used to do the same to get Kuroo to buy them a game, so Lev just smiles and grabs a ball. Receives won't happen by themselves, after all.
