Who: Yes
What: Movie Night + Slumber Party
When: 9/11, Saturday Evening
Where: Dorm Common Room
Warnings: A ridiculous amount of Fluff, probably

( it starts out small. a need for comfort food, and a need for something heartfelt but silly and fun, something genuine and kind. ... and, well, she did find a weird. bootleg vhs set of her favorite movie series, hamster space wars. but the dorm is only barely furnished- and it's not like they can just go out and buy a tv or anything. honestly she completely doubts there's even anything beyond the woods. but she remembers a teacher playing the thing and other stuff in the first month of all of this.

it's so long ago...

but there's a television and a vhs player in the school. and nene... nene's tired and sad and is currently out of fucks to give, so at some point in the day, after everyone else has left, nene has returned to the school and, uh. "borrowed" both things. it's fine. they just have to get it back in by sunday evening. don't worry about it. like, it's definitely heavy but she's a tough cookie who tills soil and everything, and also sara and noah both witnessed everything and are accomplices by default, so they had to help carry things too.

(they were completely happy to help on both accounts, she asked very nicely.)

so the "borrowed" television is set up across from one of the larger couches, and the vhs on top of it. she had cookies in the oven, donuts and hot chocolate made and popcorn popped. the common room paintings are covered with sheets of cloth. all that was left was something cozy- but at this point, nene's made so many little cushions and blankets and even cozy pjs that that's super easy. all that was left was letting anyone who wanted to come know too. so at some point in the halls, nene walks down calling out: )

Cartoons in the common room! Bring blankets and stuff!

( and, so everyone knows what their characters are getting into: hamster space wars is a movie series about different factions of hamsters that have been trying for cross planetary peace for ages now, with a villainous faction having sabotaged the final negotiations so they can control the war from the shadows to make the most money and also get the most seeds (Very Decadent). the first movie follows the main hamster and his little group trying to escape the villains after having witnessed the sabotage, and are trying to avoid assassination and end the war for good. the sequels follow allied factions, with hamster galactic wars being the Thrilling Conclusion.

it's heartfelt. it's silly. it's very cute. nene loves it. )

Blue!

[ Or maybe it's just the first color that comes to mind when they look up and lock eyes with Subaru—- ducks to the side so they can put a table between the two of them, because even if they're slower, they're sure they can escape if they can buy enough time.

Gotta crawl under the table if he wants to get at them, so what now ]

[✔ noted]

You're a crafty one! [putting a table between them.......

subaru access the situation, then decides

to throw himself over the table. betcha didn't think he'd do that! he might end up on the floor, but it's fine!]

[ They were hoping Subaru would go for under and they'd be able to duck around the side, but the most they can do in this instance is to duck under the table themselves to avoid getting headbutted. ]

[subaru definitely does land with a yelp on the other side then, salt in the wound as he rubs the shoulder that already got hurt not five minutes ago in his efforts to not land on his face... habit.]

Clever, crafty, and not too slow... Maybe I oughta call you Tanucchi. [from tanuki.] You win, you win~. Claim your prize~.

[... freedom from being tickled?]

[ pops out from under the table like "yesssssss I won!!"

Doesn't even matter they didn't know what they were playing, winning is all that matters ]

Hayashi rice!!

I'm gonna be more of a cook than an idol by the time I graduate 'cause of you~.

[more food.... if this kid was a sin they'd be gluttony. but he doesn't mind, just sticks another recipe down in his mind to make npckun for lunch

anyway, subaru's gonna hold out his arms for a hug.]

Didja find a paperclip, by the way?

[ Get a man who can be both

npc-kun gravitates towards him immediately and wraps their arms around him, but not without a thoughtful hum next to his ear because they'd honestly forgotten they were supposed to be searching for a paperclip or why, between Subaru being a menace and them seeing a thick book.

... ]

Did you?

[that would be niki shiina and he's maybe a cannibal,

but honestly the paperclip isn't important right now, subaru shaking his head in answer as he leans their heads together... jewelry making can be another time.]

Nope~. All I found was someome way cuter than a piece of metal. ♪

[ me googling niki shiina like this is either a real person or an enstars and I'm betting money on enstars

and then feeling the whiplash of how cute the rest of the tag is, ugh, npc-kun absolutely laughs under their breath at the forehead touch. This is the tag, how are they supposed to respond to this ]

[yes he's an enstars and he's very pretty

it's fine... they need to actually go to the sleepover but like, he's content to be like this too. oh the conundrum.......

well they can be like this for a bit before he asks,]

Don't feel nervous anymore, d'you?

[ Maybe they should feel more nervous, so close to Subaru like this, but it's... comfortable. Like it feels okay. Like they're very glad the two of them are in a secluded study hall and not out there in the common room. ]

Nope!

[ They lean back first, laughing ]

You're good at chasing the nerves away!

[one day they'll be in the secluded study hall again, cuddling, hopefully......]

I know I am! It's Trickstar's speciality -- we're idols you can meet on the street, so we're all good at relaxing people! [...] I'm really glad, though~. ♪

[okay!!! he'll stand up, holding out both hands to npckun to help them up]

You'll be just fine. Trust me, okay~?

[ One day...

... ]

Okay.

[ They take Subaru's hands and up they go with a little hup!, making Subaru do most of the work, actually, but it's okay because he offered ]

[he was set to do most of the work, not gonna lie, he's just that sort of person...☆

okay. subaru'll start to lead them out, pause, let go of their hand to fetch the book he'd been hit with and at least set it on a table before coming back and reclaiming their hand to hold... they can go to the sleepover now, finally, and have a nice night of fun, it's just—

it's a very warm hand, and subaru wishes the hall to the common room was a little longer.]

[ Oh- there's a moment where they think Subaru means to take the book with them, but no, okay.

They'll just have to replace the itch by swinging the two of their hands between them and they can go be soft and have fun and I don't have to apologize for the future. ]
