"What's with you? You want to go to an amusement park? Why?" Saikane asked while munching on a candy.
"It's Saturday and I never went there, let me go visit it." Nagishima pleaded.
"Ask Kuroo." Kenma replied shortly.
Saikane snorted at the pudding-head's reply. She stared at her black-haired friend's clothes and saw that she was wearing a plain white shirt and skinny jeans. Wondering where she learned to dress like that, Saikane sighs.
"Go ask, Kuroo. Tell us if he agreed and we'll go with you." The blonde said before focusing on the game that was in front of her. She grabbed the Wii and started pointing at the television. Nagishima felt pissed off at how her friends keep telling her to go ask her cousin for permission. It would've been understandable if they told her to go talk to her father or brothers but not when it's her cousin that makes the decision for her.
Inhaling deeply, Nagishima informs her friends about her feelings.
"Does it always have to be Tetsurou who makes the decision for me? Can't I go somewhere without being interrogated? Am I baby that has to be protected at all cost? I appreciate your worry but if you keep being over-protective, I'll get suffocated. Remember this, sometimes, even dogs get choked by the collar that their owners gave them, thinking it would keep them safe."
Saikane stopped playing while Kenma paused the game. The two looks behind them and gets shocked to see that their black-haired friend is gone.
"Did she actually go to the amusement park? That idiot –"
"Leave her be. Didn't you hear what she said?" Kenma cut off Saikane's sentence. He sighs before pressing play and continuing with his game. The blonde lady scratches her head in irritation and simply lets it go. If that's what Nagishima wants, then she can respect that. She just hopes that nothing bad would happen to her.
"What should I do here?" Nagishima asked herself while staring at the gates of the amusement park.
With how many people were around, Nagishima felt suffocated. It's her first time being inside an amusement park so she's currently too stunned to move. What do people in amusement park do? Do they eat food here? Is there any bakery around? Rides are located here so maybe she could ride the Ferris wheel by herself.
"I can't do this by myself." Nagishima says before pulling out her phone and texting someone to go to the amusement park. Nagishima sighed after sending the text and sat on a bench. The female was told to wait for thirty minutes because they're far away so here she is, waiting patiently.
After thirty-five minutes of waiting, the person who was none other than Oikawa appeared wearing a pink sweatshirt. The brown-haired male stared at the black-haired girl with narrowed eyes as he approached her.
"Why go to an amusement park if you don't know what to do here?" Oikawa scrutinized as he scanned the area. With the cold weather arriving, most people wore thick clothes but Nagishima wore a simple white shirt. "Wear something thick. Are you trying to get sick?" the brunette asked while the younger girl stared at him with a deadpan expression. She then flexed her muscles and patted her small biceps.
"I need to show my muscles off." She replied. "No one wants to see it so keep it hidden." Oikawa snapped back as he checked his watch. "I'm supposed to meet a girl later so I'll spend my time here for now." He informed as he pulled his phone out.
"Is it Aizawa-san?" Nagishima questioned, making Oikawa stop. "Hmm, yeah. It's Momo." He lied.
"Are you going out on a date with her? Go treat her nicely. Be a gentleman." Nagishima reminded as she fixed the strap of her bag. Oikawa stared at the younger girl and bit his lips.
"Do you know what a one night stand is?"
The younger girl blinked after hearing that. She gave a suspicious look towards her senior and steps back. "You're not doing that, are you?" she muttered warily. Oikawa bit his tongue and shook his head. "No way. I don't do that." He lied for the second time today.
Nagishima eyed the taller male for a while before nodding slowly. "Come on, let's go. I want to ride the carousel." She notified before walking ahead. The male brunette grinned mischievously when he realized that the girl he thought was innocent didn't seem as one after all. "She knows what most teens would know so she's definitely not innocent." The brunette mused as he trailed behind the shorter girl.
Soon, the two friends rode the carousel, then the tea cups, then went to the horror house where Oikawa had to hold Nagishima's hands because of fear that someone would pull him in the dark.
"Rino! If you let go of me, I swear, I'll make you cry!" Oikawa exclaimed while gripping Nagishima's hand so tight that she could feel her palm become cold. "Oikawa-san, I don't feel like calling you with honorifics at times like this." Nagishima spoke coldly as she walked without fear.
After that, they went to the Ferris wheel.
"Oikawa-san... I don't like the Ferris wheel." Nagishima said as she eyed the couple in the vessel next to them. The couple were kissing and Nagishima didn't like the view at all. Meanwhile, Oikawa frowned as he watched the couple from the other vessel hug each other tightly as they cried. "What the hell is wrong with that couple? Why are they crying inside the Ferris wheel?" he murmured in irritation. Oikawa looked at Nagishima and saw her staring behind him with a horrified look. Sighing and turning around, Oikawa almost shouts.
"Why are they doing that here?!" Oikawa backed away and tried to look away. He catches Nagishima still staring so he covers her eyes in an attempt to preserve her naivety. "Don't look! Close your eyes and don't bother watching them! Those vile creatures!" the brunette gulped and looked away as the couple in the next container did lewd acts together.
When the ride ended, the two went to the one where the ride will rise at the top then proceed to tease you by feigning a drop.
"This ride is cool." Nagishima blurted out as she glanced at her senior, only to see him pale. "Oikawa-san?" the younger female asked. 'Are you al –"
Suddenly, the ride dropped hard to the bottom.
The two friends exited the ride looking pale and nauseous. They dragged their foot out while groggily doing so. When they exited, the next attraction that met their eyes were the rollercoaster. Peering sideways at her senior, Nagishima smiled innocently. Oikawa forced a smile and shook his head. Too bad, Nagishima didn't listen and paid for two.
On the ride, Nagishima's nausea was removed and as she felt the thrill in her body, the black-haired girl recalled her words that she said to Saikane and Kenma. She blinks and wondered if they were right but she pushes the thought away in favor of the excitement she feels at the moment. Laughing at the exhilaration, Nagishima turns to the male brunette and smiled happily. Oikawa tried to keep a calm expression but when he sees the last drop the rollercoaster would make, he regrets going to Nagishima.
"Hold my hand." Nagishima blurted out suddenly, surprising the college male. "If you're scared, hold my hand. It wouldn't do anything but at least you'll know that you're not the only one scared." She explains as the ride slowly rose. Oikawa blinks and seizes the younger girl's hands with irritation.
"How dare you make rollercoaster rides romantic? It's pissing me off." Oikawa said as the rollercoaster ride stopped at the top. He looked at the girl beside him and sees her smiling, eager to drop. The male brunette tightened his hold on Nagishima's hands. "You're really annoying me, Rino. You're making me think twice!" he said as the rollercoaster rolled down the slope and the shouts of the passengers was heard.
After those attractions, it was time for Oikawa to go. Needless to say, Oikawa can't say it was bad.
As the two walked peacefully to the exit, Nagishima rubs her hands together because of the cold she's feeling. Oikawa notices this and in turn, Nagishima sees her senior looking at her. "Don't give your sweatshirt to me. Only couples do that." She reminds earning a huff from the male brunette.
"You assuming brat, I'll never give this sweatshirt to you! I'm cold so go get your own." He replied with annoyance as he pushed his hands inside the pockets of his sweatshirt. He takes a glimpse of the shorter girl again and observes her carefully. Seeing her rub her hands together near her chest, Oikawa noticed that if you look closely at Nagishima's white shirt, you can almost see the color of her underclothing.
Looking away, the male felt ridiculous. "I've seen girls naked before, in fact, I'll see a girl naked later so why am I looking away?" the brunette asked himself subconsciously. He heaves a sigh and removes his pink sweatshirt before handing it to Nagishima.
"Wear that now. It's cold, right?" Oikawa acted tsundere-like that Nagishima almost backed away from sheer confusion. Eyeing the sweatshirt, the black-haired girl pushes it away. "I don't want to. Wear it if you're cold." She replied. "Let me be a gentleman for today." The male smiled teasingly before throwing his sweatshirt over the younger girl's head. He then let goes of it and steps back to avoid getting the sweatshirt back.
As Nagishima wore the piece of clothing, Oikawa's phone vibrated. He fishes for his phone and pulls it out then checks the message. Reading it carefully, Oikawa sighs at it and sends a message to the girl, saying that he doesn't want to meet her. He then turns his phone off, knowing that he'd get bombarded with messages when the girl he sent the message to reads it. Peering at the shorter girl, he smiles when he sees her wearing his sweatshirt. Giving a thumbs up, the brunette starts speaking.
"You look more like a girl when you wear my clothes. Let's get you to wear my clothes every day." Oikawa said playfully, earning him a strange look from Nagishima. "You're being delusional. I can't wear your clothes every day, it's too big for me." She replies obliviously making Oikawa snort.
"As usual, she doesn't know that I just invited her to sleep with me." He mused while laughing. The male then steps forward closer to Nagishima and pats her head lightly. "Some men are wolves, that's why you shouldn't trust me so easily." He muttered before pulling the younger girl close to him and hugging her snugly, sighing sullenly all the while. His hold on her tightened as he grasped what he just said.
Nagishima recalled all the times where the people around her told her to be careful around men, the two most recent advice seemingly matched each other, especially since it involves Oikawa.
"Are they implying something? Why can't I trust him? He looks kind and acts kind so why does people keep telling me to be careful?" Nagishima asked herself. Her mind goes to her cousin as she starts to wish that she could go to him to try and get him to explain the advices she received just like how he explains science cleverly.
Nagishima gulps and blinks before pushing Oikawa away.
Oikawa gaped at the younger girl's action and pondered over the possibilities of her knowing. After all, Nagishima can't be that dumb. She should know.
"I'm sorry I pushed you." Nagishima said before stepping back but when she feels herself trip, the same way she tripped in front of the male every time, Nagishima feels a hand hold her by the waist. Knowing that it was Oikawa, Nagishima feels guilty for doubting the college male yet she can't help but feel a bit suspicious.
"Aizawa-san told me to not fall for you then Tetsurou told me to be careful around you. Now, you're telling me that I shouldn't trust you so I hope you won't mind if I avoid you until I find a good reason to befriend you." Nagishima says before shoving Oikawa away from her and backing away. Her eyes sent a frightened look as she stared at the male brunette. Seeing her look at him with such eyes, Oikawa can feel himself give a small laugh.
He looks away and sighs before nodding. "That's fine by me... Let's get you home!" Oikawa stated as he forced a soft smile on his face.
The younger girl frowns before shaking her heads. "I can't. I'm sorry, please go home by yourself. I'll just ask Saikane to fetch me." Nagishima bowed before giving her senior one last smile and leaving the brunette alone.
Oikawa stood mindlessly at the situation he's in. He inhaled deeply to calm himself and gulped so his tongue would stop being dry. He somehow wanted to burst into tears but he didn't since there was nothing to cry about so instead of kneeling down and sobbing, Oikawa bit the inside of his cheeks and clenched his fist. Pondering about how he got into his situation, the brunette hated himself for playing with the black-haired girl.
He might've started caring about her in ways he didn't expect he would.
