After calming down, Kanade, embarrassed, confessed that she was feeling more sensitive because "Aunt Flo was visiting," which explained her intense reaction.

Another factor contributing to her emotion was the memory of a dog she had and loved dearly in her childhood. Unfortunately, someone left the gate open, the dog escaped and was eventually hit by a truck. She remembers crying a lot and, since then, hasn't mustered the courage to adopt another dog...

It was understandable that she reacted so intensely after mentioning that the 'red team was playing', combined with her personal history with the dog that was tragically hit.

In the movie theater, Kanade's emotional state fluctuated during the trailers, but she stabilized as the movie began.

"Popcorn?" Reiji offered.

With a shy smile, Kanade agreed, taking some.

The film they chose to watch was the classic romantic comedy, "10 Things I Hate About You". The story, based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," revolves around two very different sisters: the unreachable Kat and the popular Bianca. Their father stipulates that Bianca can only date if Kat does too, leading to a series of humorous and charming events as they try to find a match for Kat.

Kanade commented to him: "Reiji, do you notice how amazing the chemistry between Patrick and Kat is?"

Reiji replied: "Mm, the way they interact makes it all the more believable. It's as if they're not acting, but truly living the story."

The movie continued, and when it came to the kissing scene, although Kanade blushed, she was staring intently at the screen, completely absorbed by the scene.

This kissing scene is more than just a kiss; it is the culmination of Kat and Patrick's emotional journey, a turning point in their relationship that changes everything between them.

"Kanade..."

Kanade's body shivered as she felt Reiji's warm whisper in her ear. After a brief moment of confusion, as she looked at him and noticed his eyes were fixed on her red lips, she swallowed hard but couldn't help having expectations as she closed her eyes, still turned towards him.

Reiji, situated to the right of Kanade and both in the back row by the wall, passed his left hand around her neck, while with his right, he gently touched her face; her face was burning...

Kanade trembled at the touch of Reiji on her face, but did not open her eyes, the blush on her face intensifying with the anticipation of what was to come, even parting her red lips slightly.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Observing those beautiful lips covered in subtly shimmering red lipstick in the dim light of the theater, Reiji tilted his head to gently press his lips against hers.

The kiss began softly, hesitant at first, as if they were exploring each other, but quickly deepened, reflecting the passion seen in the film.

When Kanade felt Reiji's tongue brush against her lips and teeth, she opened her mouth wider, allowing their tongues to intertwine while Reiji's explored hers, capturing it gently.

The contact with Reiji's tongue, somewhat rough and slightly viscous, triggered unprecedented sensations in her. Her heart raced, beating with an intensity she had never experienced before, even when she had stolen a kiss from him; she had never felt something so intense.

As she tried to mimic him awkwardly, moving her mouth and tongue too quickly, she heard him laugh within her mouth, which was incredibly sexy and appealing. She heard him whisper: "Relax, don't rush, take it slow, let me guide you..."

Still deeply moved by the experience, she softly agreed as she opened her eyes, which sparkled seductively. After meeting his gaze, she closed her eyes again and followed his 'instructions'.

Among passionate kisses, nips, and nibbles on the lips, Reiji maintained respect, not trying to go further, especially considering they were in a public place and someone might notice if they crossed the line, along with the possibility of cameras being present.

After ending the kiss, both Kanade and Reiji were panting, with Kanade visibly more affected.

Her expression was unforgettable, laden with eroticism, to the point that Reiji almost couldn't contain his desire to kiss her again.

Kanade, in turn, seemed to be in a state of ecstasy, with a distant, dreamy, and passionate look.

Pushing the cup holder aside, Reiji drew her closer, enveloping her in a comfortable hug. He kissed her head gently and whispered, "Let's focus back on the movie, okay?"

"Mm." Her murmur was soft and sweet, emanating the tenderness of someone deeply in love.

In the movie theater, after the screening of "10 Things I Hate About You", people began to leave gradually. Most of the audience were couples who, inspired by the romantic atmosphere of the film, showed signs of affection, like Kanade's visibly swollen lips.

It was evident that many would probably go from the cinema to a motel or their homes to continue celebrating love.

However, for Reiji and Kanade, following the same path as the other couples was not an option, especially due to Kanade's particular 'red period'.

Lost in thought, Reiji recalled a phrase a friend had told him in his past life: "A true warrior doesn't mind getting his sword bloody!" Despite her humorous approach, he did not share this view.

"We still have some time, how about we go to the arcade?" Reiji suggested.

He was curious to try something while they were there.

Kanade agreed to the idea, asking, "Yes, but do you mind waiting a bit? I need to go to the bathroom... touch up my makeup."

"Sure, I need to use the restroom too, drank too much soda," Reiji responded. "Let's meet back here after."

She nodded in agreement.

The restroom was not far, and the hallway that led to the men's and women's bathrooms was the same, splitting at the end: to the right for men and to the left for women.

Upon entering the men's restroom, Reiji headed to the urinal. Unzipping his fly and getting ready, he felt a great relief.

The truth was that, until then, he still felt uncomfortable. Despite having adjusted his clothing to minimize any compromising bulge, the sensation was somewhat painful, but it was expected. And, similar to the mornings that many men experience; after urinating, he hoped his 'member' would soften at least a bit.

It seems he had drunk too much soda, as the sound of urine hitting the metal was loud.

A man next to him cast a curious glance at his 'member' and murmured softly, "Damn, how can his 'Baseball Bat' be so big and thick...!"

Looking at himself, he felt like he was comparing an anaconda to a small snake...

SIGH~

Indeed, comparison can steal happiness, as the saying goes.

The other man hurried to finish, adjusted his pants, and left without washing his hands, visibly disheartened...

'What a lack of hygiene...' Reiji thought.

After finishing, Reiji tucked away his 'member' and zipped up. At the sink, he pressed the button to release the liquid soap and washed his hands. Drying them with a paper towel, he left the bathroom feeling more relieved now that his 'younger brother' had calmed down.

Unaware of the effect he had caused on the man next to him earlier, Reiji waited for Kanade outside the restroom corridor.

Reiji was not waiting alone; two other men were also waiting for their companions.
