Looking in the mirror at the salon, Isolde cocked her head. It wasn't that she looked bad, necessarily, it was that she definitely didn't look like her.
Inspired by old fashion clipping she had found, Isolde had donned shredded black jeans over plaid leggings, decorated them with pins, spikes, and chains, and put combat boots on her feet. She wore a red plaid tube top under a black denim vest, and hid her wings under a trench coat. Instead of the normal pinks and purples she wore for makeup, she coated her lips in dark indigo, and used a shocking red lipliner pencil to create half moons around her eyes.
Daniel's hair was the finishing touch. He had used a black wash to darken her hair, then, with the creative use of clips and pins, made it look like her hair could be a mohawk that wasn't spiked up.
In short, she looked nothing like herself.
"It's great!" Isolde gave Daniel a hug. "They'll never recognize me and I can make sure they spend the evening together. Are my night-vision goggles in the bag? Good. Let's go!"
Oliver dropped her off several blocks from the theatre so the boys couldn't possibly connect her with the limo, and the new Isolde, ticket in hand, went to the theatre. She peered in - she didn't want to spend more time then was necessary near the boys, so she would just sit on a bench out here until the movie was ready to start..

Ask picked up a package of twizzlers and then started towards the counter to get the popcorn. He turned to agree that popcorn was delicious and not to worry about it he was going to cover it, but his mind stuttered to a halt for a moment and Kei continued speaking and brought Ask's attention to his hips. And what fine hips they were. Not that everything about Kei wasn't totally fine. Wait. There he goes again! Fixating on Kei's appearance in his mind again. Uuugh. Right, mind off of Kei's marvelous assets.
"Well that sounds fair." He said about the gummy bears and accepted the popcorn from the vendor. Ugh, Kei said tease again. The way he said it was so.... so... something. Ask blushed again, and it brightened when Kei batted at his arm and mentioned convincing. How does one convince another person they're not a tease? "I'm not! And um, don't worry about the popcorn I got it."

Kei felt his heart almost do little flips. Ask was blushing because he was calling him a tease. It was just way too adorably cute. Besides that it was attractively cute. Kei decided he liked making Ask blush like that. He'd have to try it some more. "Like I said, you'll have to prove me wrong. But you are a total gentleman as always, thanks for paying for the popcorn. Now let's see..."
Kei dug out the ticket again and held it up to look at which theater they were to go to. "Theater number thirteen it seems. Kind of ominous, putting a horror movie in theater 13." He turned and began walking that way. His hips had a natural sway to them due to the stilettos he was currently wearing. It was surely a very distracting thing for anyone behind him.

Isolde looked into her bag at the night vision goggles, and decided against pulling them out in public. That would be weird. It would be much less noticeable in the theater when everyone was focused on the movies. Although she would need to get a lemonade and some candy as well. And maybe scope out someone nice looking to sit next too in case she freaked out and had to grab someone's arm, cause if Ask and Kei started getting personal she did not want to see that. It would be totally weird.

"That is pretty ominous, scared?" Ask commented absently, his eyes and mind on a rather different totally non-ominous tangeant. To specify he was looking right where Kei wanted him to. That sway could inspire armies, Ask was almost certain. He sped up a bit and considered taking his hand. Maybe he should ask... "You can hold my hand if you're scared." He moved the popcorn into the crook of the arm that was holding his twizzlers to free up his hand in case, just in case, Kei wanted to hold it.

Kei had to reign in the urge to blink in shocked disbelief as Ask was offering his hand for Kei to hold. Though Kei reasoned with himself he probably just meant it in a joking or friendly way. But there Ask was, actually freeing up his hand in case Kei wanted to hold it.
This spurred a great mental debate in Kei's mind. Yes he wanted badly to hold Ask's hand, but Ask had said that Kei should hold it if he was scared. He wasn't exactly scared yet, but why let that hold him back from blissful hand holding with Ask. Then another part of him didn't want to make it too easy for Ask, made him want Ask to have to chase him more, or at least tease Ask a little more before finally giving in. But the problem with that was, what if this was his only chance to hold Ask's hand, and if he put him off now, he'd be sorry forever.
Finally Kei gave Ask a slightly considering look. There was only one clear solution as far as Kei could see it. He took a mental deep breath for courage and opened his mouth to reply.
"Well....I'm not really scared yet, but..." He slipped his hand into Ask's. "I'll hold your hand anyway." He kept his gaze firmly on the door the two were about to enter, not quite able to look at Ask in case, just in case, Ask was going to reject him.

Isolde smiled to herself from the candy line as she saw Kei slip his hand into Ask's. This was going perfectly! Isolde accepted her lemonade and candy and followed the boys down to their theater, leaving plenty of room between them and her to make sure they wouldn't notice her.
Isolde had to give herself credit - this was a great idea.

Ask's mood deflated a bit as Kei's silence dragged on for what felt like forever. Maybe he shouldn't have suggested he was scared? Or maybe Kei didn't like the idea of hand holding. Maybe he should just pull his hand back and hide it away like it never even considered the idea of holding Kei's. Oh god, maybe Kei was offended by the idea that he needed Ask to not be scared, or maybe he thought it weird that another boy asked him to hold hands...
When Kei did take his hand and said he wasn't scared but that he'd hold hands anyway Ask's face lit up into a brilliant smile that was augmented with a bright red blush. "Sounds like a plan then." Ask had to suppress a joyful wiggle.

Only once Ask didn't snatch his hand away in disgust was Kei able to venture a glance at his face. What Kei found there was a beautiful smile and a large blush which was also rather lovely. A joyful smile of his own played out over Kei's face as he opened the door with his free hand to lead them into the theater.
"I'm glad you're agreeable to that plan. I was thinking you might not be." Kei admitted to Ask. He lead the way down the little hallway to where the theater opened up to all the seats. He continued to hold Ask's hand firmly. Now that he had it, Kei had no intention of letting go. He scanned the seats and found that there was a smattering of people already sitting down, but still plenty of sitting options for them. "Where do you want to sit Ask? Towards the back?" He certainly hoped so. Maybe he'd manage to get a kiss or for Ask to put his arm around him, though he could admit to himself that those might be ambitious wishes at that point.

They were still holding hands! Excellent. She went throught the other entrance to the theater, and found herself a spot way up high, where she could view everything else nicely. As long as Kei and Ask didn't sit right in front of her, she would be set. If they did . . . well, she'd see how good her disguise was.

Ask swept his eyes over the theatre discerningly. "The back would probably be best. It would put us some distance from the screen, and since it's a scary movie, I'm thinking a little distance would be good." He led the way up the stairs and slid towards the middle of the row first. He was careful of spilled drinks or popcorn or whatever mystery substances were coating the floor. He also tightened his hand around Kei's. "Careful, it's kinda slippery." Last thing he wanted was for Kei to slip in his heels and go careening down the theatre. He was ready to catch him if he stumbled or tripped. How Kei managed to do everything in heels was beyond him.

Kei was ever so glad Ask wanted to sit towards the back too. He wondered if Ask ever thought about kissing him. As Ask talked about the scary movie though a slight feeling of dread came over Kei, it was washed away though as Ask tightened his grip on Kei's hand. Ask was so cute, worrying about him falling in his heels. He'd always felt so much more balanced in his heels then without them. Ask seemed to have a hard time believing that though and it was very cute.
Kei sat down once they were in the middle of the row and let go of Ask's hand just long enough to settle in their snacks and drinks. He slipped his hand right back into Ask's though as soon as their hands were free again.
"You'll protect me from the scary parts right?" Kei peered at Ask as that feeling of dread about the scary movie passed over him again.

Isolde settled in the back of the theater, night-vision goggles in one hand and candy in the other. As long as she didn't start screaming, she wouldn't give herself away, and all would be grand . . . she just had to last through the most terrifying movie of the year. Alone.

Ask smiled when Kei settled into his seat and sat down in his own, pushing his legs out a bit and shuffling his wings into a more comfortable position. It was a shame to lose the hand holding, but he should not push.
He was about to comment on the quality of the spot they'd grabbed when Kei's hand snuck back into his. He immediately became tongue tied and blushed preciously as his brain shut down. Kei had taken his hand again! With no prompting!
"O-of course not Kai. I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you." Ever. He let the silent part of that hang as he didn't know what else to say.

Kei thought his face would freeze into a permanent grin as Ask told him he wouldn't let anything bad happen to him. It spread a warm fuzzy feeling through his body and a flurry of excited butterflies filled his stomach replacing the sinking feeling of dread.
"I trust you Ask." He gave Ask's hand a squeeze and then turned to peer at the screen as the previews began to play. He did trust Ask totally and completely, and he felt the same sense of protectiveness about Ask. He just... wasn't sure he could face creepy things going bump in the night. The previews were an assortment of other horror movies as well as a few thrillers that set the mood for the coming movie. Finally the title screen came up with some low creepy music. Kei found himself shifting closer to Ask, as much as the arm rest would allow.
