Bass and Miles were standing at the concession stand waiting to order drinks when Charlie re-appeared.
"Hey Charlie, were just getting some drinks you want?" Bass asked casually.
"Sure, what you getting?" Charlie asked from beside Miles.
Miles responded first. "Depends, wanna stick around here or go get real drinks?"
Charlie looked up at him and smirked. "Really Miles? It's only noon, besides there are a few more games I want to play." she turned and looked at Bass. "You buying?" he nodded in response. "Cool, just a lemonade for me would be awesome."
Charlie turned to leave, touching Bass' arm in thanks she wandered slowly away to the next game. Bass watched after her for a second before shoving his cash in Miles' hand. "Here, I'm gonna go make sure she's ok. Get me what ever." And with that he left Miles standing in line looking baffled and a little put out.
"Alright fine, just everybody leave me here, that's fine!" Miles said exasperated.
"Charlie, wait up." Bass said slowing down beside her.
"Hey. No drinks?" Charlie asked confused.
"Miles volunteered to get them, I wanted to make sure everything was ok?" He asked trying to make it sound casual and nonchalant.
"Really Bass, I'm alright, I just had a moment. Nothing like a sugar crash and excitement to make you feel stupid." She said looking away.
Bass stepped in front of her and hooked a finger under her chin to make her look at him. "You're not stupid Charlie, no matter what silly crazy thing you do, you'll always be amazing." Her eyes locked with his trying to read his bright blue ones.
"Bass..." her voice came out a whisper. He was inches away from her, she wanted to move to do something to bring them closer.
"Hey guys, got your drinks finally." Miles said approaching, he was looking at his drinks so he didn't notice their proximity. Before Charlie could do anything Bass had stepped away from her and towards Miles, She watched him for a moment trying to sort everything out before stepping towards Miles herself and taking her drink from him.
"Thanks Miles." Charlie smiled at him as she took a sip, inside she was silently cursing him for interrupting.
"No problem." Miles said smiling back. "Wanna go play another game?" He asked looking around.
"Sure." Charlie looked around to. "What do you think we should play?" She asked no one in particular.
"Whack-a-mole is always fun, especially when you picture Miles' face." Bass said winking at Charlie.
She laughed as Miles scowled at Bass. "You know I'm really regretting letting you come." Miles said with a grumpy face.
"Come on brother, let's go whack some moles." Bass wrapped his arm around Miles' head and dragged him to the next game.
Charlie walked behind them and watched the two mess around like they were teenagers, Charlie sipped her drink and smiled. She was happy to see the boys, and she was happy to see the boys happy.
Miles had Bass in a headlock drinks abandoned when they both stopped and looked up, Bass's head still trapped to see that Charlie had fallen behind. Charlie was suppressing her giggles while Bass' hand creeped up and locked itself firmly in the hairs on the back of Miles' head.
"Ah! Oh my god, let go!" Miles cried.
"Let me go!" Bass cried back.
"Alright alright, truce." Miles released Bass and attempted to step away. Bass let go of his hair, then smacked him upside the head. Miles grabbed the back of his head and cringed.
"You're a douche." Miles said scowling again, Bass just laughed and stepped away from Miles' swinging hand.
"Come on Charlie, let's go." Bass smiled at Miles as he wrapped his arm around her waist as she approached. "We don't need Miles to have fun." Charlie just looked up at him and went along with the game he was playing.
"Actually." Miles called. "You guys go on ahead, I have to use the little boys room." He waved them on and left.
Bass went to step away but Charlie caught his arm and looped hers around his. "Thanks for coming Bass." Charlie smiled up at him.
"No problem, glad to be here." Bass smirked back.
"Something Miles said earlier, did you really ask to come or did he drag you here?" Her question caught him off guard, he wasn't prepared for it.
"I wanted to come." his simple answer, not a lie but not revealing his whole intentions.
"Why?" Shit.
"Why not? I haven't seen you since Miles' birthday just before Christmas, I couldn't let Miles torture you on your birthday again and not try to soften the blows." He thought he'd done pretty well, but the sceptical look she was giving him deflated that pretty fast.
With a change in tactic she asked her. "If you could wish for anything on your birthday, what would you wish for?" He leaned against the Whack-a-mole machine.
Charlie picked up the mallet and plunked in some tokens. "Bass, I get to wish for something every year, that's kind of the point of the candles on the cake." Said smacking her first mole.
"Well yah, but anything that can come true? I remember one year you asked for a blue unicorn, not really something that can happen." He chuckled out.
Charlie smashed a few more moles before answering. "Well there is one..." She hit a few more while he leaned in curious. "I don't really think its all that feasible either so I've never told anyone."
Bass raised an eyebrow, now he needed to know. "Hmm?" He leaned in a little more. "Do tell."
"Ah, no. Never mind its stupid." She smashed the last of the moles, collected her tickets and handed the mallet to Bass.
"What did I say earlier. You're not stupid, and neither is anything you do." He took the mallet and pointed it at her.
Sighing Charlie crossed her arms in frustration. "Alright fine, there's this guy, but he'll never notice me." She looked down and away from him. "I know nothing will happen, there's quite a few reasons he hasn't noticed me but it still sucks."
Bass looked at her, at a loss for words. He was hoping she was talking about him, but he didn't want to get his hopes up. "Anyone I know?" He asked casually. He put the tokens in the machine and waited for the game to start, try to not put too much emphasis on how nonchalant he was trying to be.
"You might be pretty familiar with him." He looked up and locked eyes with her for the second time that day and he knew. Her eyes glittered with the prospect of being rejected. He dropped the mallet and stepped towards her.
"Charlie..." He reached for her hand pulling her towards himself.
