Woo! Another chapter! A special thanks to "vftm2" for pointing out how irresponsible I was being in terms of rational background. Hahaha sometimes, being lazy makes you look stupid. Anyways, in this chapter I've tried to give at least a small explanation of Allen's fear of heights. Hope it's…acceptable?

The line was not very long for a ride that was supposedly the biggest attraction of the amusement park.
Allen's head had to tilt all the way up to see the entire Ferris wheel in all its grandeur. It was spinning awfully sluggishly and already, Allen felt a pang of fear for the monstrous giant.
"It's…pretty t-tall." Allen commented, tripping over his own words.
Lavi nodded with a dashing smile, "It sure is."
Allen's face bloomed with an indignant pink when he felt Lavi's fingers interlace with his.
He instinctively squeezed it, causing his face to turn even redder. He was furious with himself for being so easily flustered today.
And everyday around Lavi.
As they began to come closer to the front of the line, Allen's heart raced faster and faster. His adrenaline caused his senses to heighten and he felt like he was ready to run 50 miles.
His breathing became erratic as well when he thought back to when he was 14 years old. He had been passed around from foster home to foster home, never being adopted, but cared for nonetheless by random families that decided to be charitable.
One just happened to be on a rickety old house barely suspended over the ocean. By then, Allen already had an irrational fear of heights. Staying in this house only caused him to live in constant fear. He would never look out the windows and when he felt the house sway slightly in the ocean wind, he'd run out of the house as quickly as he could to the safe cliff it halfway rested on. Eventually, he ended up angering the family and was forced out onto the streets of a nearby city where Allen consequently began prostituting.
"It's going to be alright, I promise." Lavi whispered into Allen's ear.
He always knew just what to do to make Allen's heart hammer harder against his chest.
It was very noisy, the hustle and bustle of the eagerly waiting line filling the night air with chatter and laughter. But to Allen, it was dead silent as they were called up by the ticket taker to the colossal monster. Lavi squeezed Allen's hand before he pulled him along with him to the hanging compartment for two.
It was rather cozy inside; the seats were made of cold plastic, warmed by the people before them. There was a fairly wide window right in front of them and the compartment and a door on the side Allen was on. He was very tempted to reach for it and run like hell, but he knew that it would disappoint Lavi.
"Feeling alright?" Lavi asked concernedly.
"I'm fine. It's not as bad as I thought it would be." Allen replied nervously.
"That's because we're still on the ground!" Lavi laughed.
Allen smiled weakly, "Exactly my point."
Almost as if on cue, the Ferris wheel began to move. Allen felt as if he'd been jolted with lightning and was completely rigid like a statue as they ascended into the air.
After a few moments of tension filled silence, Lavi finally chuckled and soothingly rubbed Allen's back.
"Come on now, sit back and relax."
Allen looked at Lavi with such a pitifully fearful expression on his face that he almost took that back.
They were moving at a snail's pace, but that didn't matter to Allen, that just meant more time being spent suspended so high up in the air.
They were nearing the top when Lavi patted Allen's back and said,
"Look outside!" with a twinge of awe to his voice.
Allen did as he was told and felt his shoulders relax just a little bit as he gazed out the window at the lit up city below. It was sparkling all different colors and it seemed like one big candle.
"It's beautiful…" he breathed.
You're beautiful Allen…
Lavi was hesitant as he looked out into the lit darkness. The sight was astoundingly magnificent and here he was sitting next to such a wonderful person.
"Allen.."
Allen turned to Lavi with a soft, "Hm?"
He was met with lips gently pressing against his own.
And after a little while…
He felt himself cautiously pressing back.
Lavi's hand tenderly cupped Allen's cheek, motioning him closer as they floated closer to the top. The lights were twinkling with approval below and the stars were twinkling admiringly from above.
Allen's breathing became slightly calmer with the kiss. He placed a timid hand on Lavi's leg and leaned closer to the redhead. It felt incredible and all his fears began to slowly melt away. It felt like electricity was flowing from Lavi to him. It was invigorating and like nothing he'd ever felt before.
He'd only ever felt it with Lavi.
Lavi's eyes were closed, and Allen just started wondrously at his placidly handsome face. His fingers gently interlaced with Lavi's red hair as his other fingers intertwined with Lavi's fingers.
After a few moments, Allen felt his eyes begin to close when Lavi began to pull away. He almost pouted. It was too early.
The two stared at each other for an instant—astounded and exhilarated at how good it felt.
Immediately, seemingly at the same time, their lips crashed against each other once more, their passion quickly igniting.
Allen's arms found their way around Lavi's neck as Lavi's arms found their way around Allen's waist.
It was a feeling that couldn't possibly described as anything but a pleasant electric shock.
Lavi's tongue prodded at Allen's rose petal lips which promptly opened. Lavi possessively pulled Allen closer, letting his tongue dip into Allen's mouth, which was rewarded with a small gasp muffled by their embrace.
No one could ever make him feel this way besides Lavi.
Their tongues mingled, Allen's playfully flickering against Lavi's until falling to his warpath of lustful domination.
Only Lavi.
The small compartment was quickly a little more than just cozy. The temperature seemed to rise every second their lips collided. Allen was backed up against his side of the compartment as Lavi pressed him further against it.
His fingers desperately and wantonly grasped at blazing scarlet hair. They reluctantly pulled away for air, gasping for breath. Lavi smiled and opened his mouth to say something when Allen grabbed the sides of his head and forced their lips together again. Allen could feel Lavi's lips twist into a smirk against his own and Allen couldn't help but smile a bit himself.
Their tongues flickered and intermingled, their gazes smoldering as their eyes closed.
The back of Lavi's hand soothingly stroked Allen's cheek, subsequently earning him a deliciously stifled moan. Finally, the two knew that they had to stop soon and regrettably pulled away.
Allen's face was a beautiful sight to see. His hair was slightly messed up and his eyes were at half mast and filled with want. His cheeks were tinted a hazy red and his lips were a glossy bright pink in the moonlight.
The two took a few moments to catch their breath before they smiled at each other. They turned to stare at the window in front of them—which was now almost completely fogged up. They turned back to face each other and burst into laughter and wicked smiles.
"Oh no!" Allen laughed, drawing a smiley face on the window.
Lavi added a mustache, a goatee, glasses, and bushy eyebrows to it and laughed right along with him.
The two sat back in comfortable silence, looking out the now less foggy window into the beautiful view below. They were slowly, but surely descending and for that Allen was truly grateful. He probably would've had a meltdown had it not been for Lavi's…cleverly disguised distraction.
The two quickly exited the compartment as it touched back down to the ground, Allen a little shaky on his legs but still fine nonetheless.
"I told you'd be alright." Lavi bragged with a wide grin.
Allen rolled his eyes and punched Lavi's arm.
"Oh be quiet." He ordered with a small smile.
