Movie Night (Prince of Tennis)
This is a 15-minute prompt ficlet that ran longer. It was written with my alternate-universe, crossover, spanking RPG in mind, in which various unusually-gifted characters from several different fandoms (such as Prince of Tennis/Changechildren, Death Note, and X-Men, etc) all live in the same school. Contains spanking. The prompt is posted at the end of the ficlet.

I got caught in a lie today. Unfortunately, it was Ryuuzaki-sensei who caught me and she wasn’t feeling charitable at the time.
I wanted to go to a certain movie with Momo-senpai. No big deal, right? The only catch was that it was rated for teenagers, and I’m still twelve. One lousy year, and I spend all my time with thirteen and fourteen year olds, anyway. Add to that the kind of father I’ve got. There’s nothing I haven’t heard.
Momo-senpai is not only my friend, of course, he’s my boyfriend, so he was concerned.
“Ryoma, I think we should see another movie.”
“But you wanted to see THAT one.”
“I don’t mind, really, I don’t!”
I’m sure he meant it; Momo is very easy-going that way. But it wasn’t right that he should be deprived because of me, and it wasn’t right that _I_ should be deprived for the reasons I listed earlier.
“We’re going,” I said firmly.
We went downstairs to head out for our movie when Coach Ryuuzaki came in and asked us where we were going.
“To the movies,” Momo said.
“Oh? Which one?”
I answered before Momo could, giving the name of a ‘safe’ movie I knew was playing downtown.
“I see,” our teacher said slowly. “Well, I’ll give you a ride – I have some shopping to do.”
We looked at each other. It could have been worse; at least both movies were playing in the same multiplex. Once we were beyond the doors, she wouldn’t know which one we went into.
She drove us to the movie theatre and we got out of the car. “When’s the movie over?” she asked.
“Not sure,” I answered. I had a pretty good idea, but didn’t want to tell her in case the other movie ended at a different time.
Coach leaned over and peered at the listings overhead. “Ah, there it is, ends at eight-thirty. I’ll come back and pick you up then.”
“Oh, that’s okay,” Momo said with a grin. “We might go out for pizza afterwards.”
She gave him a frown. “I distinctly heard you telling Kawamura today that you’d eaten so much pizza this week that you were sick of it.” She smiled reassuringly. “I’ll buy something good while I’m out and we’ll have it at home after I come get you. Enjoy the movie!”
We watched her drive away, then turned to look up at the listings with dread. The movie we wanted to see wasn’t ending until eight forty-five.
“Think the last ten minutes could be credits?” I asked with a sigh.
“Maybe,” Momo-senpai said thoughtfully. “Or we could use the excuse that we had to go to the bathroom and there was a line-up.”
“Well,” I headed for the door, “let’s go in and make the decision when we reach the box office.”
We decided to risk it. I’ll admit, it was me who made the final decision, since Momo said he would have been okay with the other movie, but I insisted on our first choice. Maybe I was being stubborn, but it’s not like I haven’t been accused of that before.
It was fantastic, full of action, adventure, and intrigue. It was so engrossing that we forgot to watch the time, and before we knew it, the credits were starting and the lights came up. Momo looked at his watch. “She’ll have been outside waiting for at least five minutes, and that’s if she didn’t come early.”
“Five minutes isn’t too bad,” I pointed out. “And we still have the bathroom excuse.”
We headed out, not feeling too worried.
What we hadn’t counted on, though, was that Coach Ryuuzaki would come inside the building to watch for us. Or that she would see us come out of the wrong theatre.
“Think she noticed?” I murmured to Momo out of the corner of my mouth.
“Judging from the way she’s frowning between our theatre and the movie listings, yeah. Oh, yeah.”
Our teacher folded her arms as we approached. “That’s not the movie you told me you were seeing.”
“Why did you come inside?” I asked, putting off the inevitable as long as I could.
She held up the umbrella she had with her. “It’s raining heavily out there and I didn’t think you’d see the car where I had to park. Looks like it’s a good thing I did, or I wouldn’t have seen you coming out of THAT movie. Come on.” She gave us both a whap on the butt with her wet umbrella to urge us along.
“It’s only one year,” I argued when we were in the car driving home. “And you KNOW my father. I don’t exactly lead a sheltered life!”
“I don’t care,” she said firmly. “Laws are laws, and besides, you both lied to me.”
That said it all; there was no reasoning our way out of punishment at this point. I felt badly for Momo, though, since he’d tried to do the right thing and it was only at my insistence that we ended up going to the higher-rated movie. I mentioned that to Ryuuzaki-sensei.
“As your senpai, Momo should have put his foot down,” she said, looking at us significantly in the rearview mirror. “That argument doesn’t wash, Ryoma.”
I pouted and gave Momo an apologetic look. I’d tried.
There’s not much to be said about what happened when we got home except that we got a taste of that hated wooden spoon. She did it in the kitchen (it always seems to happen that way – probably because that’s where the spoon is kept), and Oyaji walked in at one point while she was spanking me. I looked over at him and saw his surprised expression, then watched him chuckle and walk away, humming to himself. Bastard.
Afterwards, I apologized to Momo-senpai and he forgave me. I knew he would, because he’s like that, but I still felt badly. I’ll have to find a way to make it up to him.
And a way to get back at Oyaji for laughing at me.
Ryoma
