"I can't believe I let you talk me into this."

"Hey, don't say that. This'll be fun,"Akise said as he looked around at all the attractions the park had to offer.

"The last time I came here I was with Yukki..."

"Yuno... I know he died not too long ago but... It would probably be best for you too... Move on as soon as possible. Find another person to love and obsess over."

"Are you suggesting I should start obsessing over you?" She snorted.

"Maybe."

"You may be starting to grow on me, but not THAT much. No one can take Yukki's place."

"We'll see about that..." He mumbled.

"What was that?"

"I said let's go on that," he said, pointing to a roller coaster. "Unless it's too scary for you."

"Of course it isn't! I love roller coasters. I made Yukki go on all off them with me."

"Come on. Let's get in line," he said taking her hand and leading her to the line all the while looking slightly annoyed.

'I kind of wish she would stop thinking about Yukki so much,' he thought.

Over the past few days, Akise had unwittingly developed a crush on his pink haired companion. He couldn't help but notice how cute she was when she smiled, or how pretty her hair was. He didn't mind her more murderous, scary side either. It was what made her Yuno.

Yuno, on the other hand, wasn't sure how she felt about Akise. She's always loved Yukki, and only Yukki. Although sometimes Yukki's cowardice DID get on her nerves. Although she couldn't stand the thought of him getting hurt and knew she was more than capable to protect both of them, sometimes she wished Yukki could be her knight in shining armor, her hero, and protect HER for a change. Like Akise had.

Yuno shook her head as she stepped forward and got on the ride. She couldn't be falling in love with Akise. Could she?

****Time Skip****

Yuno and Akise went on every fast paced ride the park owned. Yuno loved every bit of it. Akise, after the first dozen or so rides, not so much.

"C'mon Akise! Let's go on another!" Yuno giggled, in a great mood.

"W-why don't we do something slower, Yuno... Say... The Ferris Wheel?"

Yuno's expression darkened. "Yukki and I went on the Ferris Wheel last time..."

"Oh... So no Ferris wheel then."

"No... It's okay. Let's go," she said, grabbing his hand and dragging a surprised Akise towards the ride.

The line was short, and they quickly got on. They slowly went up, up, up, Akise watching Yuno all the while. She was lost in thought, staring at the people below. Akise, without really thinking, reached over and played with her hair. Yuno stiffened.

"What're you doing?" She asked.

"Oh!" He said, letting go of her hair. "I'm sorry. I guess I got distracted by your beauty."

Yuno couldn't help but blush slightly. Yukki never said anything like that to her before. Akise once again reached over and began to stroke her cheek, surprised she hasn't stopped him yet.

'Why aren't I stopping him?' she thought. 'Do I even want him to stop?'

When Akise started to lean in, she found herself leaning in as well. Their lips slowly went from being a few inches apart to a few centimeters.

Their lips were just about to touch when they heard, "All right kids, ride's over. Go do that somewhere else."

The two quickly jerked away from each other, both blushing a deep red.

"C-C'mon Yuno. It's about time for us to leave for the night anyway!" He said, taking her hand and leading her away quickly.

Yuno was still blushing a few minutes later when he squeezed her hand, as if to assure himself that she was still there and hadn't tried to kill him yet, and surprised him and herself when she squeezed back.
