Rin had no idea how you managed to talk him into watching a movie that wasn’t horror. Saying he was reluctant was an understatement, but you begged, and sometimes, he couldn’t say no. Sometimes. So here he was, watching 500 Days of Summer, an offbeat romantic comedy about a girl named Summer and a boy named Tom.

His fingers idly played with your hair as you lay in his lap, both of you curled up in the comfort of his room. He did his best to pay attention, but the second the credits rolled in, he let out a loud groan, relieved it was over. At least, until he heard it. Sniffling.
