Carnival 8059

The dirt filled the air as the crowd of people moved around, stomping on the earth as they chased each other, socialized, and joked. The night sky was complimenting the flashing lights that occupied the rides that were scattered randomly amongst the vast land. The smell of popcorn, corndogs, cotton candy, and other sugary snacks drifted in the air. It was a fun environment at the carnival that only came 4 days every year, but Gokudera was board out of his mind.

His (yes HIS) idiot decided to drag him out to the carnival, stating it would be an amazing chance for them to get closer, and feel more like a real couple. Gokudera's only fear was they would run into someone they knew, but Yamamoto came prepared for that excuse. Tsuna was training with Reborn, so there was no one to take Lambo, Ryohei was boxing, it was Haru and Kyoko appreciation day, and Hibari is just Hibari. Any excuse Gokudera threw at Yamamoto, Yamamoto had something to back it up with.

Gokudera didn't want his feet to hurt,
Yamamoto wouldn't mind carrying him.

Gokudera didn't have enough money,
Yamamoto did.

Gokudera was tiered,
Yamamoto would nap with him afterwards.

Gokudera didn't want to go with Yamamoto,
Yamamoto reminded Gokudera that Gokudera loves him.

So, Gokudera had no choice but go to a crowed area with screaming children, and carnies trying to sell you things you are never going to use again (but Yamamoto insisted on winning Gokudera a stuffed cat that looked like Uri)

They went on a few rides, ones that just jerked them around and gave Gokudera a headache. All the rides had ridiculous lines, screaming children, and sticky railings. Although, Gokudera found it interesting to watch some of the people over reacting as they boarded the rides.

There was one ride, just that one ride, which changed Gokudera's mood entirely.

First he stood there for a second, his fingers tangled with Yamamoto's and other hand holding the stuffed animal Yamamoto won for him, glancing up at the tower that was built firmly into the ground before him. The chairs that were wrapped around the hunk of metal slowly and steadily stalked up the machine. Screams filled the air when the chair dropped fast down the pole, coming to an immediate stop right before it hit the floor.

"I want to go on that." Gokudera pointed to the super shot, looking at it almost hungry for the anticipation the ride gave to you.
"Really?" Yamamoto stared up at the ride as Gokudera dashed off to end of the line.

"Hey," Some girls towards the front of the line leaned over the railing, looking down at Gokudera and Yamamoto. "You guys can skip us if you'd like." She said flirtatiously, her friends agreeing.

"Thanks for the offer but, we-" Yamamoto started off, very aware of their flirtatious offer, but Gokudera was already skipping everyone in line, reaching the girls. Sighing to himself, Yamamoto followed his boyfriend.

The girls tried to keep conversation with Gokudera, but Gokudera was to busy watching the ride go, his heart already racing as he watched the cart fling down the metal that held it.

He can just imagine how great this feeling is going to be.

Handing the carnie their tickets, Gokudera rushed over to the seats, buckling himself in. One of the girls slipped into a seat on one side of Gokudera, and Yamamoto got on the other side of him.

"You sure you want to go on this?" Yamamoto asked Gokudera, feeling a little scared himself.

"I said I wanted to go on it, didn't I?" Gokudera hissed.

One of the girls that allowed Yamamoto and Gokudera to skip them stated that she was scared. Before Yamamoto could ask why she wanted on the ride if she was going to be scared, the brunette grabbed Yamamoto's hand hard, looking up at him with hopeful eyes. Yamamoto looked over at Gokudera to see if he noticed and was hoping he would say something, but Gokudera was being to impatient with the carnie who was making sure all the seatbelts were secure.

The overage carnie went to the metal box that had various different colorful switches, buttons, and lights, and pressed one of them that made the seats jerk before it slowly and steadily climbed up the hunk of rusty metal that held them in place.

Gokudera took in the fresh air, then let it out slowly threw his lips. His legs were half numb, his heart floating amongst his chest. As he got higher up into the air, he looked over the land of the carnival that he now had a better view off. He got so high that he could see even past the land that was sacrificed to the random rides, food stands, games, tables, and trash that was left.

Every time Gokudera thought it was going to drop, and it didn't, it made him want to start to laugh, but he kept it in. It made it even harder to hold in his laughter when he heard other people start to freak out thinking the ride was actually capable of killing them. Gokudera actually had to let out a chuckle before he lost his sanity.

Then it finally came.

The giant 'Clack' sound that snapped when you knew if it was about to drop.

As Gokudera pushed against gravity during the drop down, he let out a string of laughter within the screams that came out of the other passenger's mouths. Gokudera thought the feeling was extraordinary. The feeling that was lost as you were pushed with gravity, that split moment of being in mid air, that adrenalin that left you as you slid down the ride.

Yeah, this was defiantly a ride for Gokudera.

When the ride was safe to get off, Gokudera and Yamamoto waited for the carnie to unbuckle their seats patiently.

Yamamoto looked over at Gokudera, who still had the giggles from the ride.

Yamamoto didn't enjoy the ride at all; it made him jump out of his skin, and so… afraid.

Gokudera turned his head to Yamamoto, and smiled widely at him with half lidded eyes as he tried to get over the rides effects on him. He slipped a hand against Yamamoto's cheek, and gave him a kiss. He pushed his lips violently onto Yamamoto's, running the hand that was placed on his cheek through his black spiky hair as Yamamoto stared shocked at Gokudera's closed eyes. It's not that Yamamoto didn't enjoy the kiss; it was just very awkward seeing as the carnie has yet to take off their bulky seatbelts, and people started to stare.

When Gokudera finally decided to break the kiss, he noticed the carnie was just staring awkwardly at Yamamoto and Gokudera. "You going to let me off this thing?" Gokudera spat with attitude, as if he was not a where as to why the carnie would think it was weird to see two men kiss.

The carnie unbuckled Yamamoto and Gokudera's seatbelt, and they headed for the exist, the taste of the kiss still on Yamamoto's lips.

"Wanna go again?" Gokudera asked all hyped up.
