A/N: Finally! I can write! :D
Anyways, hello guys! As promised here is your chapter. And you're gonna get more chapters cause I have a lot more to write. I just got back from my day at Six Flags and it was so much fun. I had the best time so I'm gonna make these boys also have the best time. I actually have a Six Flags map opened right here above my keyboard so I am literally mapping out exactly where they are going. If you want, look up a map and do the same. xD
So for now have cute fluffiness and them derping on rides! The next chapter will be the same, and the chapter after that you may be rewarded with something! ;) Keep reading on my friends.
Chapter 21
Jim couldn't count the horses. He stood before a large, blue pond, stretched in front of the largest carousal he's ever seen, with two levels of delicately painted horses with muscular legs and rearing heads, colored in reins and saddles.
To his right was cotton candy and every other kind of junk food he's seen, and to his left was the gift shop and a pathway leading towards 'Orleans Place.' He wasn't sure which way to choose.
A hand was placed on the small of his back, and Jim tore his eyes from his surroundings, looking to his boyfriend's smile and then to the map in his hand. He pulled it from Dimitri's grasp, looking eagerly all over the illustration of all the rides and areas of the park.
"Okay, I admit, Superman sounds fun," Jim regarded as he looked up at the top of the trees, seeing the roller-coaster peeking out.
"It's really popular," Dimitri regarded, grabbing Jim's wrist and heading that way. "So, I suggest we get there right away, before there's an hour wait in line." Jim smiled, catching up and lacing their fingers together. His heart pounded in a mixture of excitement and anxiety. This was his first roller-coaster, but he didn't know if he should be scared or not.
The early morning sun was shining over the trees. The park had just opened, so it was a bit empty. It was a good idea to go to the popular rides first, so that the lines weren't taking up their entire day at the park.
Sure enough, after running past all the barriers and up the stairs, they arrived at the platform just as a ride was ending. Jim's eyes widened as the people's seats were lowered from a horizontal position to a sitting position, and the people got off. The gates opened, and Jim followed Dimitri to a seat, sitting in and pulling the bar over him. He gripped the handles.
"You ride on your stomach?"
"Yeah," Dimitri smiled a bit. "But don't give me those scared puppy eyes. I see the smile you're struggling to hold back. You just love danger, don't you?"
Jim blushed a bit at his tone, but allowed himself to smile a bit. "I'm so excited," He admitted, "I've never done this before."
"Take 5," an announcer said, and someone walked by, pressing down on his... thing that protected him from falling off the ride. He looked around curiously.
"All clear." The floor lowered and Jim's feet began dangling, and he gasped when the ride lifted and he was facing the floor.
"Whoa!" He grinned, reaching out in front of him and gripping his hands into fists. "I'm like, actually Superman."
The announcers told everyone to enjoy their ride, and the train started to slide upwards. The ground went farther and farther away, and Jim was looking around in excitement. A girl behind him was making her last amends before death. He looked to Dimitri, who was already looking at Jim.
"Get ready," Dimitri said as the first half of the train started to tip forwards, "And keep your head back...!"
Jim's smile widened as they slowly started to face downwards, and, as if in slow motion, they picked up speed and began flying downwards.
He started off screaming but he began laughing, his head spinning as they went in a loop and then dipped back down towards the ground. The ride went in smooth curves, making you feel like you were Superman flying through the sky. Jim let go of the parts and stretched his arms in front of him, acting like he was flying.
"My pants are falling off!" Dimitri was screaming repetitively, and Jim was laughing because Dimitri was trying to make conversation on a roller-coaster.
The ride came to a sudden stop, leaving them dangling there was the train in front of them was getting ready to depart.
"Oh my god," Jim laughed, trying to regain his voice. "That was the coolest thing I've ever done. I can't... wow!"
Dimitri was still laughing a little. "I can't believe you let go of the bar on your first roller-coaster. Most of the time people have a death grip."
"Screw that," Jim smirked, "Having your arms free and loose, feeling like you're actually flying? That's the best." The ride inched forward, then they were adjusted back to an upright position and were able to get off.
And, the best part, pictures. Jim ran straight to the computer screens and pointed to their picture, asking for the lady to show it on the big screen. Dimitri sighed reluctantly, embarrassed at his strange expression, but Jim looked pleasantly adorable. He looked like a little kid, with his hands out in a Superman-like position, smiling with his eyes wide open. Dimitri looked like he was terrified, but he must have been feeling his pants falling off when the picture was being taken.
They didn't buy the picture, but they got a card so they could look it up online. As soon as they exited the ride, Jim spotted the Batman: The Dark Knight ride, and darted inside the building without a word. Dimitri followed, never having been on that ride and curious.
It was an indoor ride, but completely in the dark. It jerked from side to side a lot, and it was just something that made Dimitri make funny surprised noises, so Jim liked it. And then there were about two drops, one of which another picture was taken. Jim was laughing the whole time, whereas Dimitri looked scared again, mainly because he couldn't see where they were going.
But, they continued on into 'Mardi Gras' territory, which consisted of a lot of games and a ride Jim went straight to, which was the Ragin' Cajun. It was like the Dark Knight, except you could see. So, Dimitri agreed to it.
"It's like teapots!" Jim commented as they got into a round car, "But you can't spin it yourself." They were buckled in and set off on the ride. Once at the top, the ride jerked from side to side in a rectangular formation.
Jim laughed, knocking into Dimitri's side every time. "Oh my god, it's a surprise every time. Even though it's happened- ah!" The cart jerked to the left, "-like seventeen times!"
The car rolled downwards, acting more like a roller-coaster as they experienced a few swoops and drops that made Jim laugh and throw his arms up. Dimitri did the same, especially since it was a more low-key ride that was very family-friendly.
"Let's go on Batman!" Jim suggested once they reached Yankee Harbor. Once again, the wait was barely a minute, since people were still trailing into the park.
Jim must have wanted to go on every ride he saw, Dimitri would think to himself. After Batman they went on the Whirligig, which is that ride with the swings that goes in a circle. Right after that, they sat down and got caricatures drawn of them. Jim thought it was the best drawing ever and Dimitri dreaded it'd be the only picture of them together they'd ever have.
"Now I'm hungry," Jim whined, pulling Dimitri across a covered bridge into Yukon Territory. They found Claimjumper's Chicken and decided to eat lunch there.
"This is so awesome," Jim smiled as he munched on a chicken leg. "It never ends. There's just always more rides and I guess I can never get sick because I think it feels so cool and I can't get over it and-"
"Eat your chicken, spaz," Dimitri shoved the food in his mouth, and Jim chewed eagerly. If he had a tail, Dimitri thought, it'd be wagging.
"Go-karts," Jim stared as they exited the restaurant. Right across the pathway were go-karts. "I want to drive a go-kart."
Dimitri followed, placing their caricature in the loose items cubby, sighing as he got a helmet and found a go-kart. They were surrounded by a bunch of 8-year-old boys but Dimitri didn't care, because Jim walked up to him and poked his chest.
"I challenge you to a race," he said with a particular gleam in his eye. Dimitri smirked.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah."
"What do I get if I win?" Dimitri crossed his arms. Jim thought for a moment, but he looked stumped.
"I don't know," he murmured, but then looked up into his eyes. "But you can choose what it'd be."
Dimitri smiled. "Anything?"
