[with his face shoved against kuroo's back, makoto is too terrified to actually look up. he's somehow between cushions and the other teen, shaking and sweating at the thrilling music of terror surrounding them]

[he cannot look, he CANNOT LOOK]

Kuroooo...

[a whine, a whimper, fists tightening onto an asshole's shirt]

[blocker]

[A fist tightening into an asshole...]

They say the only way to overcome your fears is to face them, Makoto! You're making me all hot.

[And not even bothered, which is the worst, clammiest type of hot to be.]

It isn't that bad....

[splasher]

B-But I don't want to face them!

[there's a loud bang, and makoto jumps, startled; grabs a cushion and pushes it against his own face, as he moves away from kuroo's back, still pressed close to his side]

Not... not like this!

[blocker]

[He's so unaffected by this. Maybe he's dead inside.]

Makoto, you'll end up suffocating like that.

[STERNLY, LIKE A SENSIBLE ADULT.]

[splasher]

I don't want to see...!

[blocker]

It's now or never! You'll always feel like this if you don't confront your...issues now.

[splasher]

Why did we choose a horror movie, again...?

[he always puts himself out like this, for his friends, especially now his birthday twin, and he is suffering a lot. refusing to look at the tv, still]

I can't wait! I really can't!

[blocker]

Discipline! We're taking control of your life, Makoto! Think about it, this stuff's happening in your TV. If it started happening to you for real, that would be really stupid -- and way too convenient.

[splasher]

[whines, for like 10 seconds]

I already had to deal with real zombies in October for Halloween...

[blocker]

Real zombies...huh! This is going to be harder than I thought.

[splasher]

I wish... scary things weren't real...

[like this movie]

[blocker]

This movie isn't real at all, just the actors are!

[hth...]

[splasher]

You don't know if this could be happening to someone in real life, though! Chances are too high!

[blocker]

There's a lot worse going on in real life, you know. Haven't you heard of famine?

[splasher]

[and back to hiding behind kuroo's back]

I knoooow, it's just...

[i'm scared and weak]

[blocker]

[Definitely. Also inconsiderate and selfish.]

Ah, the monster's gone.

[Now there's just on-screen dead people.]

[splasher]

I'll watch from back here...

[he's not gonna]

[blocker]

Don't, it's weird. I can't finish all of this popcorn anyway...

[splasher]

[moves away from behind kuroo...and chills where he is, looking down at his lap]

Sorry... Why couldn't we have watched Stardust again?

[blocker]

It's because you won't learn anything from Stardust! Would you have preferred a space alien movie?

[Lesser, but he can predict Makoto screaming and crying over extremely fake-looking aliens and improbable situations.]

Have some popcorn and relax!

[splasher]

Maybe something about magic and friendship... What am I learning from this?

[bootcamp hell]

[tries to relax...just manages to shove a hundred popcorn into his mouth]

[blocker]

That's for you to figure out! But if you need a hint, probably something about being brave. Haven't you noticed how fake these ghosts look?

[DON'T CHOKE.]

[splasher]

[coughs out some popcorn--]

I-it's not how they look, but, how everything in the movie builds up suspense...!

[blocker]

Suspense for a really fake ghost! You must worry about all kinds of little things...

[splasher]

Not... everything...
