Her best friend would not even leave the safety of her bed for breakfast or dinner, which automatically elected Selina as the person to go and fetch her friend food everyday. The problem with that system was that even when Selina brought food upstairs for Kurumi her friend rarely touched it. It was like she was in the deep relapses of her mind and the Kurumi Selina knew was trapped inside trying to find her way back to happiness. And Selina had finally had her breaking point with her best friend. It was not going to help Kurumi get any better if she continued to lay about and do something. She had to go through the motions of everyday life and pretend to be okay because eventually she would stop pretending.
So after Selina returned to the dorms after her late lunch-early dinner snack, she was enflamed to see Kurumi still lying in the same spot where Selina had left her mere hours before. Without even asking her friend's permission she marched over to Kurumi's bed, pulled her best friend out from under the sheets, put on Kurumi's shoes, and started to drag her friend's limp body out of the dorms. What made the whole ordeal so much sadder was that Kurumi did not even fight Selina on her forceful removal from her bed. Kurumi needed something that would make her start living again. Not everything is life was so terrible that she had to stop ceasing to live it.
When they finally arrived at their destination she sat Kurumi down in a seat and left her there for a moment to pick up snacks. Unlike the previous times Selina and Kurumi had gone to the cinema, Selina was not loading up on snacks for herself... They were all for Kurumi. Her best friend had barely eaten in days and she needed to get something in her system. Something that would make her body wake up a little to help her mind jump start.
She returned to Kurumi's side when she collected what she needed and then plopped all of the snacks in Kurumi's lap. Seriously, Selina said, "Hey look at me. You eat these snacks, you watch this movie, and you start living again. My best friend is in there somewhere and I am just going to sit here until she decides to come out again, you hear? So eat and enjoy... And please... Say something.". Anything really would do.
Kurumi had hardly registered that Selina had even come back to the dorm rooms after her routine....whatever meal of the day it was... nor had she registered her best friend throwing the covers off her. Thankfully, Kurumi had been in her school uniform for the most part - the blouse and skirt part anyway - or else Selina would have been dragging a pajama clad prefect through the castle. Not that Kurumi would have cared. She hardly put any effort into her appearance these days, and that included brushing her hair. So, right now she sort of resembled what Selina looked like towards the end of Potions.
Once sitting down, Kurumi immediately pulled her legs close to her chest and hugged them tightly there. She didn't want to be here. She wanted to be back in bed hiding from the world. It hurt less that way. In bed she could feel numb and not have people looking at her. Not to mention that people were probably judging her...if they knew what had happened. Kurumi felt sick and the smell of the popcorn wasn't helping much.
"
Can I go now...." she asked meekly, her voice trailing off at the end just as the theater went dark and the screen showed the Disney logo. Guess that was a no. Kurumi felt a sharp pain in her chest as the movie began, obvious mentions of love in the narration striking a cord with the Gryffindor that made her clutch her chest and almost whimper. Of course, it had to be this sort of story.
In her own twisted way, Kurumi could sort of identify with the Beast...
who could ever learn to love a beast? Yeah, that was exactly how she felt right now because that WAS what she was. A monster. A monster that had hurt him so badly that he had cried...and he never cried. Kurumi pulled her legs up even closer now, but still didn't touch the food
even if the buttered popcorn smelled delicious.
