Chapter 9: Roller Coasters

Mana hated roller coasters. She hated them with a deadly passion that could not be controlled. And Atemu was wise enough to never force her to go near them.

"No, no, no!" Mana clutched onto Atemu's arm as the rest of their friends tried to convince her to go onto the biggest roller coaster in the amusement park. "I'm not going on that evil monstrosity they call an attraction! It's a metal death trap and I refuse! Atemu, save me!"

Atemu chuckled and waved their friends away, promising not to leave the girl alone. Mana continued to hold onto him desperately until the others were far out of sight.

To relax the girl, he made a sacrifice. He bought the girl ice cream, the sugary treat that made her go insane. But to calm her down, he'd gladly deal with a sugar rush.

"Are you feeling better now?" Atemu asked quietly, watching Mana nod happily, licking a strawberry ice-cream cone.

"Yep!" Mana skipped happily, holding Atemu's hand cheerfully. She loved ice cream, and amusement parks, as long as no one tried to get her on one of the metal death traps. Or wooden, which Mana thought was worse... couldn't someone take a saw to a wooden roller coaster and kill everyone on it?

"Mahado really traumatized you, didn't he?" Atemu teased gently, laughing as Mana glared.

"He was so mean! He told me that the seatbelts didn't work and then when we started riding it, everything was shaking, and it was wooden, so he said that people could saw through it and kill everyone, and I hate the stupid death traps!" Mana bit her ice cream furiously and then flinched. "Brain freeze!"

Atemu smiled and then tapped the girl on the nose. "Hey Mana, you have ice cream on you."

"Huh? Where?" Mana didn't want ice cream on her face, she wanted it in her stomach.

"Right here." Atemu leaned forward and kissed the girl gently on the lips, smiling as she relaxed completely, wrapping her arms around him.

Mana cuddled up next to Atemu, waiting for their friends to get off of yet another roller coaster. She still refused to get on one, but Atemu didn't mind. It certainly gave them more alone time together... and that was all that mattered.

MBP: And that's that! I'm still taking prompts, so feel free to send them in! Credit, who doesn't want credit? XD
