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.
Selina watched Kurumi carefully out of the corner of her eye after she returned with the food. It seemed that when she was gone Kurumi finally registered where it was that she was and what Selina was making her do. Panic flooded Kurumi's face, but not the energetic panic of someone who was truly alert, it was more lethargic and comparable to the way Kurumi had been ever since her break up. Her just sitting there with nothing to do and virtually no expression made Selina want to shake her. This was not the Kurumi that was her best friend and if her best friend saw this empty shell of a person she would most likely yell at herself. Kurumi was stronger than this, this was the Adam Kurumi and she had grown stronger since then. Now it was like no progress had been made at all.
She perked up when she heard Kurumi say something, but when it registered what her words were Selina shook her head no and coldly turned her face back to the screen. There was no way that Kurumi was going to leave now and Selina had to make a point that Kurumi was going to sit through the entire movie and try to return to at least a shinning moment of normalcy.
"No," she replied quickly,
"You can't leave." And that was that. Kurumi was not going to fight Selina on that verdict because, honestly, her best friend did not have the energy to do anything right now. Selina knew that Kurumi had no option but to just sit there.
Luckily for Selina, she did not see the action that went along with Kurumi's request, or she might have been tempted to let her friend retreat. It was too late now though. The movie was starting and Selina always sat back a little when a movie started. Growing up not in the Muggle World seeing muggle movies for the first few minutes always frightened Selina. But then she eased into the movie when the pretty lady started to sing.
As the movie slowly progressed, the redhead stole a glance over at her best friend and saw that she was sitting curled up in her seat. That made Selina's heart break. Not even outside of the dorms could Kurumi pull it together, not even for a small moment in time. Her best friend was so much worse than Selina had originally thought she was, there was a lot to be done before she recovered. And she hoped to Merlin that she did.
