Short summary: BJ gets surprised by Natsuno’s spontaneous plan before the real start of movie night.
One moment BJ was standing at the entrance to their living quarters. The next moment he was being dragged to the couch by Natsuno’s very strong arms.
“Natsuno?”
BJ wondered if something was wrong like the stove or the TV was malfunctioning. Tonight was their usual movie night and that, at least in this household, required popcorn and a big screen.
“Get in here already!” Natsuno shouted before shoving him forward, straight into Keitaro’s arms.
“Natsuno!”
It seemed Keitaro was not expecting to receive BJ; the two of them almost knocked heads as BJ scrambled to find a secure hold and not fall off the couch. He ended up gripping on to Keitaro’s shoulders right before his whole upper body was jostled by Natsuno.
Because Natsuno just threw herself at Keitaro and BJ, trapping BJ in the middle of a group hug.
“Keitaro, the blankets!”
BJ pressed his face against Keitaro’s neck. He couldn’t see what was going on, only hear and feel. He assumed Natsuno had a plan. He hoped Natsuno had a good plan.
“Uh, that’s a little difficult with both of you…”
“Catch!”
“Natsuno…”
BJ could hear the blanket being tossed. He could feel Natsuno and Keitaro shift positions. He was wondering if Natsuno was still managing to balance okay on the couch in this position. He felt Natsuno’s lips touch the back of his head.
“Blanket group hug!”
Was that the end goal? “Is that good?” BJ asked.
“Yes!”
Natsuno somehow squeezed in even closer. BJ was feeling very warm now, sandwiched between Keitaro and Natsuno and covered by a blanket. But it was also very comforting.
“And done! Now let’s get started.”
BJ found himself pulled back and turned around, so now that he sat on the couch with his back to the couch, squished between Natsuno and Keitaro.
“I got the remote,” Keitaro said before Natsuno or BJ could ask.
BJ sighed in relief. Much as he loved Natsuno’s high energy and penchant for spontaneity at times, there was something grounding about Keitaro being in control. Perhaps the movie tonight would make sense.
He ended up being wrong but snuggled between Natsuno and Keitaro, with a blanket draped over their laps, and a bowl of butter popcorn to munch on… Well, it wasn’t like BJ was going to complain.
