Chapter 23: Date With Chinatsu (3)

[Kurogane Tsubasa's POV]

Chinatsu and I entered the auditorium. The seats were filling up quickly, even though there was still thirty minutes left before the movie started. It seemed like this romance movie was quite popular, maybe even more than I expected. Chinatsu mentioned there might be some action in it, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Our seats were all the way in the back, on the left side of the wall. We were practically in the corner, with Chinatsu in the last seat and me right next to her.

Chinatsu didn't seem to suspect my choice of seating, but I had ulterior motives. My mind was still consumed by what happened with Yui last night. If I went out tonight without creating an even more intense experience, I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep and would keep replaying the events with my twin sister in my mind.

I needed to replace that memory with something stronger, something more stimulating. While I had failed to suggest a threesome with Chinatsu and Natsumi at school, I believed I still had a chance to create a memory that would overshadow what Yui did to me.

"I'm getting excited. Are you too, Tsubasa?"

"Yes, yes. Now get to your seat."

"Where are you going?"

"Toilet."

After excusing myself to Chinatsu, I left the auditorium and headed towards the restroom. On my way, I accidentally bumped into a girl with her hoodie pulled low over her head, obscuring her face.

She glanced up at me, but quickly lowered her head again.

"Oh, sorry," she mumbled.

"No, it's fine. I should be the one apologizing," I replied. I attempted to move to the left, but she went to her right, causing us to bump into each other once more.

"S-Sorry," she stammered.

"No worries. My bad."

I attempted to move to my right, but we ended up bumping into each other once again.

"Uh, how about I go this way, and you go that way?" I suggested.

"O-Okay. Yeah, that's great," she replied.

We followed my suggested directions and successfully avoided any further collisions.

"I-I should get going," she said.

As she walked away, her pace was brisk, almost as if she wanted to put as much distance between us as possible. It left me puzzled about why she seemed so embarrassed. Throughout our brief encounter, her face had been hidden under her hoodie, so I never got a good look at her. Nonetheless, something about her voice felt oddly familiar.

"Well... Let's not dwell on it any further," I mumbled to myself and proceeded to the restroom.

After that, I returned to my seat, finding Chinatsu happily munching on popcorn.

"Oh, you're back. You took so long!" she exclaimed.

"My bad. I got lost on the way," I replied.

"Huh? Really?"

"Yeah. I had to talk to some people for directions."

"Are your sense of direction bad?" Chinatsu chuckled. "Well, come on. Have a seat."

I settled in next to her, and Chinatsu grabbed a handful of popcorn, playfully trying to put them all in my mouth.

"Hey, don't stuff that many things in my mouth so casually. Do you want to choke me?" I teased.

Chinatsu grinned mischievously, "I do."

I laughed, taking a few pieces of popcorn from her hand and munching on them. "Alright, I guess I'll have to be careful then. I don't want our movie night to turn into a choking hazard."

Chinatsu playfully rolled her eyes. "You're such a drama queen sometimes, Tsubasa."

"It's all part of my charm," I replied.

As the lights in the auditorium dimmed, signaling the start of the movie, Chinatsu leaned in closer to me. "So, you think you'll actually enjoy this romance flick?"

I shrugged. "I'm open to surprises. Besides, I'm here with you, and that's what matters most."

Chinatsu smiled, resting her head on my shoulder. "You can be sweet when you want to be."

The movie began, and we both settled into our seats, sharing the popcorn and occasionally whispering comments to each other about the plot or the characters on screen. Despite my initial reservations, I found myself getting engrossed in the story, thanks in no small part to Chinatsu's enthusiasm.

About halfway through the film, during a particularly touching scene, Chinatsu intertwined her fingers with mine. I glanced at her, surprised by the gesture, and she simply gave me a warm smile.

I leaned in closer to her and whispered, "Chinatsu..."

"What?" she whispered back.

"You've made me quite excited."

"Wh-What?!" She shouted, her eyes widening in shock, and she immediately covered her mouth with her other hand. Fortunately, no one seemed to have heard her. "Are you serious?" She continued in a hushed tone.

"Yes."

I guided our entwined hands to my lap, where she could feel my arousal.

"It's really hard... But why?" she asked in a hushed tone.

"Well, can you blame me? You're incredibly attractive, Chinatsu. The way you're dressed tonight has me quite aroused, and when you entwined our hands like that, it just added to the excitement. Your touch is like a catalyst for my excitement."

Her fingers trembled as she touched the bulge beneath the fabric.

"What do you want me to do about it?" she whispered, her voice shaky.

"Uh, can you help me calm it down?" I replied in a hushed tone.

"How?" she asked.

I leaned in closer and whispered something to her. Her cheeks turned several shades of red, and she seemed almost steamy as she listened.

"In here?!" she exclaimed in a hushed shout.

I nodded discreetly. "Yeah, Chinatsu. It's pretty exciting, don't you think?"

Chinatsu gulped, her eyes darting around to make sure no one was watching. "I can't believe we're doing this in a movie theater."

"Well, it'll be our little secret," I said with a sly grin.

She hesitated for a moment, then leaned in closer, her warm breath tickling my ear. "Okay, Tsubasa. Let's see if we can make it happen."
