POV: Saiki Kusuo

T: Sai.. Kusuo,

S: What is it, Kokomi?

T: Let's go watch a movie.

S: Why?

T: What do you mean why? For a date.

S: I don't think you know how hard it is for a psychic to enjoy being in a movie theater.

T: Is it? But didn't we met each other at a movie theatre?

S: That's because I had a ring that blocks people's thoughts.

T: You have a ring that blocks people's thoughts?

I showed her a germanium ring with a blue gem that has a black outline. The ring also has a black M at each side of the gem.

T: Oh, I did remember you wearing something like this. Should I wear one too?

S: Why?

T:
So we could match.

S: That's not exactly why I don't wear the ring.

T: Then why don't you? Wouldn't it be comforting to wear it?

S: It is. But I don't wear it in public anymore. I'm still not used to being in public without sensing people's thoughts.

There's also the fact that not knowing people's thoughts remind me of Nendou.

T: The why won't we try it?

S: Try what?

T: We go watch a movie while you're wearing the ring. We can actually have a normal date. And you can practice not using your powers.

S: Hmmm...

T: Come on, it'll be fun.

...

T: Kusuo.

S: Fine. But you're going to have to help me out for this.

T: Got it! Leave it to me!

Seems like she's looking forward to it.

On the way to the theater, she took the opportunity to talk to me while I can't use telepathy.

T: Are you sure you don't want me to have the same ring.

I sighed before saying my first verbal words in a while,

S: Not really, cause I won't be using it much anyway.

T: But I want to match with you.

S: You do know that our relationship is a secret right?

T: Hm, you're no fun.

S: Don't worry, we'll have matching rings soon.

T: What do you mean by tha-

She chocked on her words as she realized what I meant.

We didn't say a word the entire trip because she's too embarrassed. When we arrived in front of the theatre, Kokomi suddenly had a realization.

T:
Oh yeah, we haven't even decided what to watch yet.

Because of my experiences, I'm not exactly a movie person.

T: Maybe there's a new romance movie airing right now.

Oddly good timing if there was.

T:
Well, good or not, we are still watching it. Let's go.

Kokomi insisted on buying the tickets and refused to tell me the title of the movie. When I entered the theater, there are more women than couples. It tells me that the appeal of the movie is primarily the male lead, and that slightly worries me.

I asked Kokomi when she sat down next to me.

S: What is this movie called?

She checks the ticket and reads it out.

T: 100 Ways to Fall in Love.

100...

Don't tell me.

I looked at the promotional pamphlet for the movie.

There's an attractive female lead and,

?: Kokomi?!

Makoto Teruhashi.

Makoto Teruhashi: I thought you didn't want to watch the movie with me? And is that, SHITTY FOUR EYES?!

T: Oni-san, don't be too loud, they can hear yo-

"Wait, is that Makoto Teruhashi?!"

The theatre became chaotic as everyone ran to Makoto, causing us to be swept in the crowd.

Once again, my movie theatre moment is ruined.
