roller coaster ride
♥
--x---x---x---x---x--
(firmly) "No."
(pleadingly) "Please, Naminé--"
"No!"
(cheerfully) "Great, let's go."
"WAIT, Sora--no, I don't do heights--"
"C'mon, Naminé, I know you'll love it. Tell you what, if you don't like it, then afterwards I'll give you whatever you want, okay? Now let's go, before the line gets too long."
(a pause)
(grudgingly) "If I die, I don't want to be cremated."
(a laugh) "Deal."
--x---x---x---x---x--
"Sora, I can't go, I need to finish my ice cream."
(teasingly) "Nice try."
--x---x---x---x---x--
When he grabs her ice cream and throws it in a conveniently placed trash can, Sora swears to himself that he will eat four ice cream cones later to make up for his sacrilege, and he steers her in the direction of the roller coaster.
--x---x---x---x---x--
"I'm going to be sick."
"You're not going to be sick--the ride just started! We're not even moving yet."
--x---x---x---x---x--
They move.
--x---x---x---x---x--
(panicked) "We're moving. Oh my gawd, we're moving. I don't like this. How much higher does this go? I can't look. Are we at the top yet? Tell me when we're at the top. I can't believe I agreed to this--"
--x---x---x---x---x--
They reach the top.
--x---x---x---x---x--
"We're at the top, Naminé!"
--x---x---x---x---x--
She doesn't answer.
--x---x---x---x---x--
(professionally) "Today's forecast -- blue skies and sunny with a 30 chance of--"
(a scream) "AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
--x---x---x---x---x--
(happily) "See, Naminé, I told you it was fun!"
(shakily) "That was not fun."
(disappointed) "Not even a little?"
--x---x---x---x---x--
She shakes her head.
--x---x---x---x---x--
(sullenly) "Fine. What do you want, then?"
"What?"
"I said I'd give you something if you didn't like it, remember? So what do you want?"
--x---x---x---x---x--
She thinks for a moment, thinks that it's hard to think when someone as adorable as Sora is telling her he'll give her whatever she wants and her stomach is churning like this, but she's not quite certain said stomach-churning is an aftereffect of the roller coaster or something else.
--x---x---x---x---x--
She decides.
--x---x---x---x---x--
"A kiss."
--x---x---x---x---x--
And as soon as she says it she slaps her hand over her mouth (did she really just say that?)
…Or she means to slap a hand over her mouth, anyway, except said mouth is currently occupied, so she ends up slapping his cheek instead.
--x---x---x---x---x--
(confused) "Ow! What was that for?"
--x---x---x---x---x--
She is trying to explain the situation to him, but it's not really going the way she planned, and he doesn't understand anything she's saying, (except that she wants him to kiss her again) so he does (it goes right this time), and she thinks maybe that roller coaster is her favorite ride.
