Sorry 'bout the long wait! Family drama. But who cares about me? What about Shawn and Lassie at the AMUSEMENT PARK? Bahahaha this is less obvious Shassie and more Shawn getting Lassiter to loosen up....but it's fun all the same
I hate roller coasters myself, so I needed to do this. I NEEDED to.
Shawn bounced around Lassiter like a hyperactive puppy/bouncy ball.
"This is gonna be great!"
Lassiter rolled his eyes but stayed quiet. If he went along hopefully he'd be back at work tomorrow.
Shawn rambled on and on as he led Lassiter towards the booths at the front of the amusement park. He gave both tickets to the already bored looking guy (he was definitely not going to have a fun day considering the park has only opened a half hour ago and he was already bored) and tugged Lassiter into his own personal hell.
"So, what do you want to do first?"
Lassiter eyes the many roller coasters uneasily. Shawn ignored his look and searched around………There! He spotted the biggest, badest, loopiest, dropiest, and longest roller coaster in the park and needed to go on it.
Lassiter, the poor guy, was unaware of his fate as Shawn led him towards the roller coaster without saying a word. It was still early so the line was relatively small. That was good, it gave you less time to lose your nerve.
When Lassiter saw where he was heading he yanked away as fast as he could. "No Shawn, no."
"But-"
"No way in hell Spencer!"
Shawn was shocked. He could handle guys with guns but not a roller coaster? What the heck? "Lassiter, we're going." He sooooooo wanted to see a terrified Lassiter.
"No!"
Shawn pulled out his phone.
"What are you doing?" Lassiter asked, suspicious.
"Calling Vick." Oh yes, he was blackmailing, and it felt so cool.
Lassiter's eyes practically popped out of his head. Shawn started to dial and Lassiter almost lunged for the phone before he realized that if it got broken Shawn would do everything to keep in from work. In fact, he'd probably give him some funky disease only he knew someone could get in California.
Lassiter deflated. "Fine."
Shawn grinned and bounced up and down. They waited in line for a few minutes. Time seemed to drag by slower than they had ever thought possible. Shawn's was spent in excitement, Lassiter's in fear.
When they were boarding Lassiter shied away like a frightened horse being forced into a trailer. And he was forced in by Shawn, who pushed him until the older man was sitting in the car. By that time Lassiter looked like he was going to both puke and pee himself.
"It'll be fun!" Shawn said again.
Lassiter just squeezed his eyes shut and hoped it would be over quickly. He nearly jumped out of his skin when the roller coaster started up. He was holding the safety bar so tight it threatened to break. He really must love work.
Shawn couldn't decide whether to watch the track in front of him or Lassiter. He finally decided to alternate between the two.
Now, as they were noisily ascending Lassiter was much more interesting. Right at the top of the first drop Shawn yelled, "Lassiter!"
Lassiter's eyes popped open just as they started to fall (or so it felt like). He was so terrified he couldn't even close his eyes! Shawn had long since thrown his arms in the air while Lassiter still had a death grip on the bar.
As they approached the first loop Lassiter screamed. And screamed. And screamed. And screamed. Shawn soon realized he would much rather watch Lassiter.
The older man's screaming continued until he was out of the car and on solid ground again. Shawn held back laughter as he led the shaking man away.
"You ok?"
Lassiter responded by rushing over to the nearest patch of bushes and throwing up his breakfast. And maybe even last night's dinner.
Shawn couldn't help but laugh now. "Your face…." Laughing. "It was…." More laughing. "Priceless!"
Lassiter glared weakly at him.
"Wanna go again?"
"What?" Lassiter again looked like he would pee his pants.
"It's always less scary the second time."
Lassiter did realize that it would be more fun the second time. It was definitely not Shawn's excited grin that made him say, "Fine."
Shawn did a little dance. "Yay!"
They went on that roller coaster again. And then they went on another. And another. And another. They stayed until the park closed and by that time they'd ridden most of them at least twice. Thought Lassiter would never admit it, he had fun.
Both were dead tired and didn't speak a word to each other in the car or apartment. The only words uttered were a sleepy, "Thanks Little Boy Cat 2."
LBC 2 meowed in happiness and curled up next to Shawn on the bed.
