This story is just going to be a collection of Bade one-shots.
"You're unbelievable."
"C'mon Jade, It'll be fun."
" I don't do fun." She remarked, her hands on her hips with a deepening frown between her eyebrows. He placed his hand on her shoulder gently.
"Just for today. Your troubles will still be there when you get back." He answered, trying to lighten the scene. She didn't think it was funny. Her brows raised close to her hairline for a few moments, before dropping back down to her frown. She exhaled, slightly louder than needed.
"Sure. Fine. Whatever." She mumbled, and he grinned, forcing the corners of her lips to turn up. He leaned in to kiss her, and she pulled away, still slightly angry at him. He sighed quietly, his eyes on the ground, before taking her hand, and leading her to his car. He opened the door for her, waiting for her to step inside, before closing the door behind her. He then went over to his side, sitting down and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, which she didn't oblige to. He turned the radio on, although after a few moments, she turned it back off. The rest of the drive was in silence, until they reached the carnival

He had expected to have to drag her towards the rides, so he was surprised when she equally participated. He bought her some cotton candy, and that sure did bring a smile to her face, as well bringing one to his as he watched her nibble at small pieces of the soft, blue cloud. She peeled the label off of her strawberry milkshake, so that the bottle was a plain white, closing her eyes whenever she took a sip, simply because she hated the colour. He took her hand in his, feeling the sticky sweetness that covered her fingertips. Their hands swung together in a repeated rhythm as they walked towards the Ferris wheel. The sky was inky above their heads, shades of violet and navy sprawled across the horizon. They took their seats, the cold metal of the bar pressing against their stomachs, her head on his shoulder. The wheel was slow as it climbed to the top, and soon as they were there, He put two fingers on her chin, pulling her head up to look at him.
"I love you." It was barely a whisper, but his breath was a fog against her cheek. He didn't give her time to respond, He just kissed her, Slow and meaningfully, tasting warm milkshake and the aftertaste of cotton candy on her lips.
"I Love you too." She spoke quietly against his lips, pressing her cheek to his, and feeling a strong arm hold her against him.

The drive home was silent, but comfortable. She crosses her arms over her chest, lifting one leg over the other. She ran her fingers through her hair, before returning her arm to her chest. She exhales quietly, biting her lower lip.
"Thanks, Beck." She says, her voice shaking slightly. It wasn't very noticeable, but He reached out for her hand and kissed it softly, eyes still on the road.
"For what?" He asks, although he is sure that he knows the answer. He tries to keep a straight face, but fails, tugging the corners of his mouth up into a small smile.
"For taking me to the carnival..." She mumbles quietly, making his smile even wider. She looks at him and he holds her hand tighter, staring into her slate grey eyes. "I actually enjoyed it." She added, a hint of her mean-girl personality shining through the cracks in her walls.
"Anytime." He replied. Then it's her turn to smile. It's soft and small, so innocent-looking. It's the smile that made him fall in love with her in the first place, and knowing that he was the cause of her beautiful smile made him feel oddly tingly in his stomach, as if small butterflies were fluttering their wings inside of him. He kisses her hand again, intertwining his fingers within hers and holding onto them tightly. "I'll take you anywhere."

They park outside of his RV, and he steps into the icy autumn air to open the door for her. She steps outside, taking his hand as he leads her to the door of his RV. He unlocks the door, and lets her go in first. She rubs her hands together, before smiling at him. She walks into the small kitchen, and within seconds he can hear the sounds of the coffee maker. He closes the door and goes to sit on his bed. A few minutes later, she appears, holding two steaming cups of coffee in her hands. She hands one to him, and he whispers a quick 'thanks' before taking a small sip. He feels her head on his shoulder, and transfers the cup to his left hand so that he can wrap his other hand around her waist. She lifts her head to look at him, and leans in to kiss him softly. She's gentle and slow, something that she usually never is. He tastes the black coffee on her tongue, and a sweet tang of honey. She pulls back after several seconds to yet again rest her head on his shoulder. He leans his head on hers, breathing in the scent of her shampoo. They stay like that for a while, their cups forgotten, before her phone suddenly starts to vibrate. She pulls out her pearphone, and taps the screen a few times.
"I gotta go. It's past my curfew." She says quietly, lifting her coffee cup to her lips and swallowing a few mouthfuls before placing it on his table. He nods, standing up with her and walking with her to the door.
"You ok?" He asks, taking her hand once they were outside. She nods, giving him a small smile.
"I Love You." She says, and he can actually feel the meaning behind the words.
"I love you too." He says truthfully, kissing her cheek, and turning to walk back into his RV as she walks away. As he turns his back, he hears her speak.
"Beck." He turns around, seeing that she is only a few paces away. He nods to her, a small frown on his usually calm features. "And I'll follow you anywhere." She says loudly, a grin erupting across her face for the first time that night. He can't help but copy her actions, his frown gone and a full-fledged smile replacing it. She turns around and starts running, the clap of her heels against the sidewalk is the last thing he hears, and he just can't stop smiling.
