Carnival

"Sorry, you can't go on this ride." The man shooed Toshiro away from the ride. "Come back when you get taller."

Toshiro kicked a trash can. That was the third guy who turned him away because of his hight. A giggle escaped from the girl next to him. "Shut up, Rukia."

"Sorry," She covered her mouth trying to stop laughing, "Its just so funny!" She gave up and began hugging her sides as she laughed.

Toshiro face turned red with embarrassment. "Hey, your barely taller then me." He said trying to get her to stop laughing.

"I'll stop." She wiped a tear from her eyes. Maybe she was laughing so hard because for once the jokes about hight weren't about her. "Lets go look for a different ride. Roller coasters get boring after awhile anyways."

"Hn." He began to follow Rukia. It was almost in possible to follow her. There was too many people and she was too short to see. "Rukia?" He called out when he lost sight of her.

A warm hand clasped his. " She apologized, " This seems the only way for us not to get separated."

"Its okay." He turned his face away from hers, embarrassed. They began walking again. Toshiro wondered why they were here again. Shouldn't he be doing something more important, after all he was a caption with an unreliable lieutenant.

He would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying his time here. It was fun being with the little Kuchiki. Maybe, he thought to himself, we can do something like this again. His eyes went to Rukia's small form leading the way.

"Here we are." She stopped walking and got in a line. "This is my favorite ride." He looked. It was the ferris wheel. The whole thing was lit up with different colors. The line was fairly short compared to the other rides.

"Isn't this a kiddy ride?" He said to her. She ignored that remark.

A man collected tickets and allowed them on the ride. "What a cute couple." He chuckled.

Toshiro blushed. We are not a couple. He wanted to say that to him but the ride was already moving. The car they sat in slowly rocked as they moved upward. When they got to the top the ride stopped.

They saw the whole carnival lit up with lights of different colors. Against the night sky it seemed like a different world. He turned and looked at Rukia who was sitting across from his. A childish smile was plastered on her face as she looked out the window.

"I think I can get a better view if I.." She mumbled and got up. She stood in the middle of the car and looked out the window. Her smile was even bigger now.

The ferris wheel suddenly moved again causing Rukia to fall forwards. She fell against his chest. Rukia looked up at Toshiro. "Sorry." she said.

"I-Its okay." He looked down at her. His face was red and his heart was beating faster.

"Are you okay?" She asked, "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm okay." He told her then looked out his window.

Rukia apologized once more then went back to her seat. The ride slowly came to a halt and the door opened. The operator helped them both out and winked at Toshiro. He began walking away faster.

Rukia walked besides him quietly. Toshiro looked down at his hands. "I liked the ferris wheel.." He said quietly. He looked up and saw Rukia's smiling face. She began to pull at his hand and lead him to another ride.

Okay another one down. Any request? It could be a pairing or a situation, anything is fine.
