The goosebumps from being in the coldness outside soon disappeared as you entered Léblanc, the cosy café warming you up instantly with both the heating and comforting familiar smell of coffee.
"Ah, Y/n-chan's here!" Haru spoke with a smile, putting down her teacup.
The rest of the group stopped and waved you over, Ann sliding up to allow you some room. "Hi, guys." You greeted quietly. Despite the shy tone in your voice your glowing expression showed just how happy you were to be in your friend's company.
"Alright, the whole gang's here!" Ann cheered.
You shared a laugh with the rest as Akira exited the kitchen to place your favourite drink in front of you. "Oh, thank you."
"No problem." He responded, taking a seat in the booth opposite to yours. Beside him was Ryuji, who began to fidget restlessly.
On the other side was Futaba, a devious grin stretching across her face. "Heheh, what's the matter, Ryuji?"
"Nothin'!" He quickly dismissed, and rather defensively at that.
"He's just mad because- mphm-!"
Morgana was cut off as Ryuji's hand shot out to cover his mouth. "Mind your own business, cat!"
"Well, things seem to be the same as ever." Makoto remarked with a sigh. "How was it travelling here, Y/n?"
"It was fine!" You reassured, chuckling sheepishly. "Just a bit cold."
"Indeed, although the sight of city lights accompanied by the snow would make a fantastic painting, I would surely freeze if I even stopped for a sketch." Yusuke muttered disappointedly.
"Yes, but Akira-kun's coffee has helped immensely." Haru voiced. "Now that everyone's here, what shall we do now?"
"Well, we'll be staying up for a couple hours... Why don't we watch some something?" Ann suggested.
The group turned their heads to Akira, who simply nodded. "Sure. I have some movies."
"Alright! Time to make like a plumber and jump upstairs!" Futaba slid off the chair from her Futaba-like position, the rest following her lead.
The attic was still a bit dusty by the edges, but held a welcoming atmosphere which was felt as soon as you made it all upstairs.
The couch against the wall was moved to instead be in front of the small television as well as the regular chairs, so that mostly everyone had a seat.
Haru was sittings to right at end, and sent you a sweet smile. "Y/n-chan, why don't you take a seat here?"
"Okay, sure." You nodded, and as you sat down you felt somebody on your other side. You looked up to see Ryuji, who was rubbing the back of his neck.
"Uh, this okay?"
You quickly waved your hand. "Y-Yeah, of course!"
Futaba took the last space on the couch, crouching on the other far end. This left Yusuke and Makoto to take the chairs, and Ann and Akira to sit on the floor.
"Are you sure you don't want to switch?" You brought up as Akira inserted the DVD into the player. "I'd feel bad if you're not comfortable there..."
"Oh, we're good!" Ann confirmed, giving you a thumbs up. "Besides, someone would unhappy if I made you move."
"Huh?" You tipped your head to the side in confusion, but Ann simply giggled to herself and looked to the screen.
As the intro to the movie started with dim lights and the sounds of creaking, it dawned on you that this was in fact a horror movie*. You tensed, fingers curling over your palms tightly.
