Hey! Sorry this chapter is a little late! My internet's been down! Anyway, this chapter is a little boring. There's a reason for that, though! This one's gonna be a two-partner. Meaning, this topic (On a date) and tomorrow's (Kissing) Will be combined in two chapters. This chapter is just setting up the date, next chapter will have a lot more fluff and kisses. I hope you can enjoy this until then, though.
Amusement parks were suppose to be amusing. Nasch wasn't amused in the least, it felt more like babysitting than anything. He could hear Yuuma and Vector behind him squabbling about which ride to go on first and he massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Five minutes. They had only been here for five damn minutes and he was getting a headache.
"What do you think, Shark?! Pirate ship or bumper cars first?" Yuuma's finger tapped his shoulder like a woodpecker and he turned with a sigh.
"I think," he said, "If you two can't agree on something we can just leave." he gave them a stern look. Why was he stuck taking them anyway Right, because he didn't exactly trust Vector to be running around on his own so soon after everything.
"Naaaaaaasch, you're such a joy-kill." Vector visibly drooped and Yuuma pouted.
"The pirate ship isn't a real ship, it just swings back and forth! With bumper cars you can slam into other cars without getting in trouble, that's actually the goal!" Yuuma said. Vector perked up.
"It's not an actual ship..? What's even the point of just swinging back and forth?! If you woulda said that in the first place we could've already been to the bumper cars, Yuuma-kun!"
"I was just really exited! I forgot you don't really know bout this kinda stuff." Yuuma threw an arm around Vector's neck and turned to Nasch.
"Hey, you'll ride the bumper cars too, right?" Nasch didn't have time to even refuse before Vector did that for him.
"No way he'll do it! Nasch is too stuffy for that kinda thing, being the old man he is!" Vector busted out laughing and Yuuma shook his head stubbornly.
"Nuh-uh! Shark is cool, he'll totally join in! And you're just as old as him, right?" Vector looked positively offended at that and mock- gasped.
"What?! Yuuma-kun, I'll have you know he's a full year older than me and that makes a big difference! Why just this morning I heard he spotted some grey hairs!"
"At least I'm not senile like you yet." Nasch retorted. He really didn't want to be romped into bumper cars though, knowing exactly how
Vector would play. Not that he wanted to be cramped in a tiny toy car with children in the first place...
"Cut it out! We're suppose to be having fun, guys!" Yuuma butted in. Both parties reluctantly stopped, but Nasch swore he saw Vector stick his tongue out at him.
"Yuuma," Vector whispered in his ear, "Are we really gonna let Nasch hover around for the entire date?! Can we ditch him?" Yuuma pouted slightly. Shark was his friend and he trusted him, but at the same time, he saw Vector's point. He really didn't want to just leave him though...Yuuma got an idea.
"Hey, guys! I gotta take a leak, hang on!" Yuuma ducked into the nearest bathroom and whipped out his D-gazer in the stall. After he had sent a quick message to someone he came out.
"Sorry, thought it'd be better to go now then on the ride, haha!" He grinned at Vector leaving the red-head to wonder what his boyfriend had actually just done. Well, he'd probably find out soon enough.
"Okay! Bumper car time!" Yuuma pumped his fist in the air and practically ran there with Vector, Nasch trailing behind.
"Three please!" Yuuma held up three fingers to the person working at the ticket booth and Nasch scoffed.
"Two. I'll stay here."
"Shark-!" Nasch sent an aggravated look at Yuuma that said 'don't push it or we'll leave' and Yuuma sighed and nodded reluctantly. Well, if that's what he wanted they'd have fun anyway!
Vector climbed into a shiny black car and Yuuma into a red one and Yuuma wondered if this was the best idea from the slightly maniacal gleam in his eye. Yuuma nervously smiled at his and gave him a thumbs up. The ticket guy pulled a lever and announced that the game was starting. They had five minutes to slam into as many cars as they could.
Yuuma was actually surprised when Vector, rather than slamming into him, took off in the opposite direction and started slamming into strangers. Yuuma grinned and did the same, figuring they'd just meet up again in a second considering how small the field was.
He was right. A minute later Yuuma was slammed into the front of his car. The cushions around the edges of the cars were suppose to ease up the force of being slammed into, but Yuuma doubted they were even working from how hard he was jerked forward.
When he turned around he saw Vector grinning at him. "Whoops, was that you, Yuuma-kun~?" Yuuma did a 360 and started chasing after the red-head with a smile of his own.
"Hey, where'er ya going?! I gotta return the favor!"
"If you can catch me~" Vector swerved around other cars, slowing Yuuma a bit but he was gonna get him! Just as Yuuma's car connected with Vector's, the air horn sounded and the five-minute mark ended the round.
Yuuma looked up to see a hand being offered to help him up and grabbed it thankfully.
"You got the last hit, so I guess you win, Yuuma-kun. You'll get to pick the next thing we do then." Vector said as they walked back to the waiting area. To their surprise Nasch was talking with someone.
"Durbe...?" Vector glanced at Yuuma questioningly. Yuuma nodded excitedly.
"I thought if he had his own date he'd give us a little room! I didn't think Durbe would get here so fast though!" Nasch looked over at Yuuma with an unreadable face.
"Yuuma, You said Nasch was in need of me.." Durbe said looking mildly upset. Yuuma pretended to look innocent.
"Well, he is in need of you! You guys can have fun here too, I didn't think Shark was having fun just following us around-"
"Yuuma, it wasn't about having fun for me, I needed to make sure Vector wouldn't try to pull anything." Nasch cut him off.
"Nasch, as long as we're here, I think if he's with Yuuma, he'll be fine. If we can agree where to meet and what time, it's not like this park is huge or anything." Durbe added. Nasch looked surprised that he was taking Yuuma's side, then sighed.
"Fine, go. We'll meet back at the entrance at exactly 8. If you're even a second late-"
"Thanks, Shark! We'll be on time, see you guys then!" Yuuma grabbed Vector's arm and pulled him away and Vector just saluted to them with a cheesy grin.
Nasch just hoped he wouldn't regret it.
I actually have a vague memory of playing bumper cars as a kid; We were playing in a way where when you got hit you had to quit. One kid who I knew from school got me out so I started crying and told his parents he had said a bad word to me. He didn't, I was just mad he got me out. He got in trouble... I was a little shit. x'D
Like I said in the top author's notes though, this chapter is just setting up for the next one, sorry if it's a little boring. Next chapter will have plenty of cute carnival rides, games, and kisses. Considering the topic next time will be kissing, expect a lot of those x)
Also, hope anyone didn't mind the hinted at Durbe/Nasch. I really like that pairing UwU;;
ps..if you're reading and enjoying...A lil review would be great motivation! i appreciate them all, along with follows and favorites. :)
