A Change of Heart

[Tenome]

Izzy's phone buzzed in his pocket. He flipped it open and checked the sender-Julia.


Hey babe how's class?


He smiled.


Ditched. I'm at the Vow with May from my calc class


After a moment or two, she texted back. He frowned.


Isn't that a chick flick?


He could read between the lines. "You're at a romantic drama with another girl?"


There was nothing else playing, and she looked like she needed to take her mind off things.


He hoped Julia didn't get the wrong idea.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled, looking at the screen. This was really the closest thing to a good movie they had in store here, so she supposed it was alright.

 

[Tenome]

About a half hour into the movie, which wasn't even all that terrible, Izzy began to rest his arm on the seat's armrest. To his surprise, May's arm was already there, and their hands brushed. He quickly retracted his arm, blushing furiously. "Sorry."


He hoped the dark of the theater would mask his reddened face.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei blushed, retracting her arm too. "It's fine." She said, resting back on her chair, her face red.

 

[Tenome]

Ooh spicy. Izzy stole a glance over at her and saw that she was red in the face now too. It hadn't been all that bad, though. Embarrassing, maybe, but he'd never blushed like that for Julia, and she certainly never blushed for him.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei coughed slightly, looking to the side to draw her embarrassment away. She sunk a bit lower in her chair, embarrassed.

 

[Tenome]

Izzy cleared his throat as well, and stared intently at Channing Tatum's abs(because that's apparently in the movie now prolly already was).

 

[IceQueen]

Mei tried to calm herself, but looking up at abs didn't help. She leaned her head to the side, closing her eyes for a few moments.

 

[Tenome]

He whistled at the way Tatum's abdominal muscles rippled under the surface of his flawless, taut skin. Using a hand to fan himself, he angled his head towards her. "Is it just me or is it hot in here?"

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled, stifling a laugh. "Just you." She said.

 

[Tenome]

"If you say so," he said, though he wouldn't quite agree in saying that it was only him who was hot.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled a bit, a faint blush appearing since he was now pretty close to her face.

 

[Tenome]

Izzy, not noticing her reaction, made no move to distance himself from her.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei blushed darker as he did not move.

 

[Tenome]

He remained that way for the next few minutes before leaning back into his seat.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei breathed out silently, relaxing a bit.

 

[Tenome]

The rest of the movie was okay, but Izzy had grown hungry in the time that they'd been there. Maybe he'd drive to the nearest place with icecream?


As the credits began to roll, he stood and looked at May. "You up for some icecream?"

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled. "Sure, sounds good." She said, getting up.

 

[Tenome]

They walked back out to the car, and before long they pulled up to the nearest Dairy Queen.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled, licking her lips. "I love this place."

 

[Tenome]

"Yeah, it's not bad," he agreed. As he clubbed out of the car, he asked, "What's your favorite?"

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled, getting out. "Oreo Blizzard." She said.

 

[Tenome]

"No shit? Me too!" He paused at the door. "Wait. No, I lied. Mint dilly bar."


He held the door for her.

 

[IceQueen]

Mei smiled, blushing a bit. They kind of looked like a couple, but she didn't care. It was the first time someone was close to her purposely in public.

 

[Tenome]

Oblivious to how they looked, he patted her shoulder affectionately as he went up to order. The joint seemed busy, but the line was nonexistent.
