A/N: So...I've been at a mates house this whole weekend...writing and writing and writing. She read all of my Collection of Klaine fics a couple of weeks ago and has been drilling Klaine into my mind all weekend. This one I wrote Friday night on my own, while she was writing Cats. The next chapter will be the one we co-wrote, and that'll be uploaded...eventually. (It's really long XD)

"This isn't a good idea." Kurt muttered, pacing up and down the small space they had in line.
Blaine watched him fondly, an amused smirk playing on his lips, leaning against the wall.
"It's going to be fine." He tried to comfort his boyfriend – he tried to be sincere, but Kurt had been pacing and worrying for the past 5 minutes.
"No it won't." Kurt stressed for the hundredth time. "We'll get to the top and be upside-down and it'll stop and-"
Blaine cut him off with a small kiss. "Stop worrying." Blaine grinned.
Kurt's eyes widened and he stepped back. "Blaine!" Kurt hissed, his eyes now narrowing.
Blaine raised a questioning eyebrow, stepping forward to try and kiss Kurt again. He automatically dodged him again. "We're in public!"
Blaine just grinned, pulling Kurt forward into a giant hug. "Come on, two hot guys going to a theme park...alone? People probably already know." He kissed Kurt's cheek again, but he struggled away.
"Blaine..."
Blaine gave a small sigh. "I know, I know." He stepped up to the front of the line and the panicked look in Kurt's eyes returned.
"Hey..." Kurt muttered nervously. "I didn't get to freak out..."
Blaine clutched his hand tightly.
"Why did I agree to this?"
"You didn't." Blaine replied happily.
Kurt gave a small whimper as the harnesses pulled up. Blaine happily pulled Kurt forward, pushing him into a harness and strapping him in.
Kurt was wide-eyed and silent, gripping the harness as he watched Blaine fiddle with the straps and buckles.
"There." Blaine whispered. "I've strapped you in. You're safe. Okay? The man will come and check on you. I love you." Blaine planted a kiss on his lips before settling into the harness beside him and strapping in.
"Kurt..." Blaine called gently. The harness obstructed their view from each other, and was so tight that Blaine couldn't move his shoulders. He flailed a bit, blindly trying to grab Kurt's hand.
"Don't touch me!" came Kurt's sharp reply.
"What...?"
"If you want me to survive this ride, you need to shut up and not touch me, okay?"
Blaine suppressed a small chuckle, settling back against the back support, bracing himself. The ride assistant checked each harness, and Kurt stared straight ahead clutching the handles so hard his hands were turning white.
"Kurt-" Blaine tried,
"Shut up!" Kurt snapped as the ride suddenly jerked forward.
Kurt let out a low moan as it slowly climbed. People in front and behind him were already cheering. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, willing himself not to look down.
^.^
The ride ended in 30 seconds, but it felt like 30 years to Kurt. Every twist, jolt and turn sent him squealing. He hated heights. Blaine whooped, and when the harnesses were released, he jumped off with an excited cry.
"Kurt?" he stepped over to the seat to find Kurt wide-eyed, looking traumatised. "Babe, you okay?"
Kurt barely moved his head in a feeble nod, pushing away the harness and testing his weight on his legs. He stumbled a bit, his hands shaking as Blaine watched nervously.
"Kurt...?" Blaine tried again, but Kurt ignored him, stumbling away from the ride. "Talk to me."
Kurt held up a finger, looking slightly green before promptly throwing up in a nearby trashcan. Blaine's eyes widened and he rushed forward, rubbing small circles onto Kurt's back.
"Never. Again." Kurt coughed, tears springing to his eyes.
"I'm so sorry..." Blaine rested his head against Kurt's back. "When you said you didn't want to..."
"S'not your fault..." Kurt mumbled, straightening up and thanking the few people who showed their concern. "Heights and I just don't mix."
Blaine pulled a water bottle from his backpack, letting Kurt wash out his mouth before trying to talk to him again.
"I'm still sorry." Blaine shrugged. "Come on. You pick the next thing we do."
"Something not...up..." Kurt muttered, taking a deep breath.
Blaine kissed his cheek, taking his hand and gingerly leading him to the park map. Kurt scanned the map, taking another swig of water and feeling a world of better.
"This one." Kurt pointed to a tame boat ride and Blaine nodded, turning Kurt in the right direction and walking with him.
"Are you okay?" Blaine asked, taking his hand.
Kurt nodded. "I just have a problem with heights. I'm fine now."
Blaine nodded as they were shown to their small boat, pressed up tight against each other.
"This is cosy..." Kurt muttered, taking Blaine's hand and leaning against the backboard. The boat drifted forward gently towards the double doors that would swing open.
Blaine knew what was coming. He's been on this ride before. He knew what it did to him. But for some reason he couldn't brace himself for the darkness that was coming. The doors closed behind the boat and they were swallowed by the black.
"Shit..." chuckled Kurt. "It's a bit dark..."
Blaine clutched at Kurt's hand, trying to keep his cool. But this was not cool. It was dark. It was so dark, Blaine couldn't see his hand even though it was five centimetres from his face.
Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand again.
"Blaine..." Kurt muttered. "You sure you're okay? You're kinda...cutting off circulation."
"Sorry." Blaine muttered, but his grip didn't falter. His eyes were darting around the endless black, waiting for something – anything.
Kurt started to get worried. "Blaine...what's wrong? What's going on?"
A hand reached out to Blaine in the darkness, and he let out a shriek.
"Blaine!" Kurt's other hand stroked Blaine's cheek. "It's just me..."
Blaine had felt his heart rate increase since they'd been on the ride, but now it was thumping like a jackhammer. He turned his face into Kurt's neck, closing his eyes.
"What's going on Blaine?"
"Nothing." Blaine managed. "I'm just not too fond of the dark."
A/N: *Shrug* My mate, Claire, writes on this site too! pixieevil is her name - but she doesn't really upload here. She writes Cats and Labyrinth mostly, but on DA. Same username there so...go read her stuffs.
She also calls them Blarren and Crurt. So *Shrug* I'll probably start accidentally saying it too :P
To be fair, we're sleep deprived and Klaining all weekend. (Klaining?)
