ferris wheel of love

You've found yourself at an amusement park, and suddenly-- someone is guiding you towards a line. For whatever reason, you and someone else (possibly even a stranger you never met) are buddies for the ferris wheel. Whatever, it's just a short ride, right?

Except this Ferris wheel is magic. Towards the top you'll feel like getting close, and definitely like a power has overcome you. By all means, feel free to struggle, but once you get to the top it'll slow to a crawl. You two are going to kiss according to the powers that be, no ifs, ands, or buts.

This meme also doubles as an amusement park meme once you get off that awful ride! How about that? Now go have a magical night.

[Did he just... wink at him? And was that a threat? Maybe he really should look into texting someone for help...]

...I'm not texting. [No problem. He can talk. It's easy! Yeah! Was that a threat? Seriously?] ...It's a game...

[And he's gonna go back to being quiet. And concentrating on his game. And not on the scary guy.]

[Don't use his advise against him...it was totally advice...not creepy at all.]

Wha-! You're playing a game at a time like this?! [He looks butthurt for all of a second. Pls Oikawa you don't even know him....] Even if you've been on here before, you should consider making memories with me instead.

It'll be much more fun than Crappy Bird™, okay~?

[Oikawa pls he doesn't even know you.]

...It's Super Marian Sisters, not Crappy Bird.

[That's all. That's it. Kenma rests against the car door, slumping in his seat a little. He's trying to make himself smaller, because if he's small then... he won't get bothered, right... He won't stand out!

If only this wheel'd hurry up. He wants out of this stranger danger hell.]

Is there a big difference~?

[Maybe it's the look in his eye, or his entire demeanor, but Oikawa can't shake the impulse to...bug him? Not that that'd be very different from the usual, but something's totally off -- on the inside.]

You're so scrawny, the cart won't flip over if you decide to sit by me, you know! [And he pats the space to his IMMEDIATE side for emphasis.] I'll even let you grab on.

[Onto what???? Gross.]

[Well... It doesn't sound so bad yes it does holy crap. Kenma shakes his head - mostly to himself, but it definitely doubles at a refusal to Oikawa. He needs an excuse... an excuse...]

It'd be weird with a stranger. [Glance glance. That's good enough, right?

also gross what's he even gonna grab onto. nothing's big enough ~~haha dick jokes i'm so mature~~.]

[DOES HE SMELL WEIRD? Maybe there's cotton candy between his tee-- no that's stupid. He sits back and folds his arms at his chest, cross between pouting and sizing the kid up.]

We should fix that! People like us don't end up in the same ferris wheel cart for no reason~!

[People like ???]

Oikawa Tooru, [And he gives a ~~victory~~ peace sign. So much for that huffy pose of his.] I'll autograph that thing for you if you'd like!

[u don't even have a marker u dick.]

[don't you fuckin touch his phone, mate. he'll split yer lip if you do. swear on me fuckin mum he will.

And that didn't really mean that he wanted to know your name......]

Kozume... Kenma. Kozume Kenma. [He pulls his phone closer, seriously don't touch it. What are you even gonna sign it with. Your tongue?? That's gross, dude. That's gross.

He glances to the open air - oh sweet jesus they're high up - and instinctively scoots away from it... which puts him closer to Oikawa. What's the lesser of two evils?

THIS DOESN'T MEAN HE'S GONNA BE YOUR FRIEND, OIKAWA.]

[GET OUT OF HERE WITH KENMA'S PAPER MACHE ARMS....]

Ken~chan! [It's a good thing Kenma's pretty passive? Oikawa really deserves a broken nose at this point. He'd consider signing Kenma's phone with his tongue, yeah, if it were bacteria-free? Shine a little light on it and it's probably COVERED in fingerprints. Gamers....

Anyway, there was no point in even saying his name, aside from practicing and generally being an annoyance at all times.

Once he slips closer, Oikawa's instinctively prompted to raise an arm and slink it around the smaller kid's shoulders.]

Isn't this better? [Spoken like a real skeev.] If the ride breaks down here, they'd need to rescue us with ladders and we'd have to climb down...

[Why even?? He's managing to creep himself out a little. He grips at Kenma's shoulder subconsciously and decides to focus on the top of his seat-mate's head.]

[UMMM RUDE, YOU KNOW HE EVEN TOSSES AFTER PRACTICE RIGHT??? HE TOSSES, LIKE, THREE WHOLE TIMES AFTER PRACTICE BEFORE HE ~~TOSSES HIMSELF OFF THE TOKYO TOWER~~ FLEES OK.]

I'd rather jump.

[He's not usually so frank with strangers, but he's willing to make an exception for Oikawa. Look at that! Exceptions! Kenma shifts uncomfortably at the whole arm thing goin' on here - his chances of escape are becoming dismally low - and, for not the last time (he's sure) considers texting absolutely anyone to come save him.

Not that there's much they could do to help. Ugh... And is it just him, or is the ferris wheel even slower than it's supposed to be.]

[REMAINS TO BE SEEN. THANK. PLS DON'T SUICIDE IN THIS THREAD.

REALLY.]

You wouldn't!

[Less-accusatory, and more in the tone of YOU'D DIE IF YOU DID THAT, PLEASE BE MORE CAREFUL WITH YOUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS.] But we shouldn't talk about this anymore~! It's scary.

[And he's definitive about that. Furthermore, this Godforsaken ride has indeed slowed down; maybe he jinxed it?! What will Aobajousai do without him?!]

But when we're up like this, we can see the whole place~! You should buy me some ice cream once we get down from here.

[ONCE THEY DO, as opposed to IF.]

[what if he shows off his tossing skills by tossing oikawa off

what about that

paper mache arms me then]

I don't have any money. I came with some friends and I got separated from them. [Basically: He got lost. Supposedly without cash. Well, he has some, but he's not gonna spend it on a stranger who harassed him on the ferris wheel...]

[NO. HE NEEDS TO WORK HIS WAY UP. HE SHOULD START WITH HIS PHONE, FOR EXAMPLE.

His gaze drops between them, because there's a sudden urge to lock eyes...or something. Kenma has interesting eyes, generally speaking!! They're strange, like a cat.]

We'll have to check the lost and found first, then~!

[Or..the directory area, but sure. Lost and found.]

[HIS PHONE IS REALLY IMPORTANT. IT PLAYS GAMES.

The lost and... found...? No, isn't that just for items... Kenma tilts his head at Oikawa, sliding his tongues between his lips. They're just dry, okay.]

"We"?

[But every other aspect is obsolete!! Who even texts him besides Hinata?]

If you're lost, it's not like I can let you wander off on your own~! You're too...

[What's the word? Young? Small? Just how old is this kid anyway? He probably ought to figure that out, and fast, because uh...he's been stricken with the sudden urge to--

N-NO, THIS ISN'T EVEN A GIRL HE'S DEALING WITH?]

-- H-hey, what are you doing?

[Kenma watches Oikawa through his eyelashes, like a cat watching a mouse. He's not even meaning to, to be honest. He doesn't want anything to do with Oikawa.

But Oikawa is taller than him and Kenma doesn't want to have to look up more than he already is.]

I'm sixteen. [Said somewhat huffily. He's not too sensitive about his height, unlike Yaku, but come on he's at least a high schooler!] I don't need someone to chaperon me.

[...well he does but not because he's a kid.]

[Squeak squeak motherfucker.]

Sixteen~? You should start calling me senpai, then! [A year...isn't a big deal ok.] Even if you don't, you've already gotten lost once! Let's practice, alright?

[He brings a hand to Kenma's jaw, tracing it with two fingers.

...Which has nothing to do with learning formalities, but......]

[Gonna put down a mousetrap to snap that pretty head of yours off.]

I don't care about that kind of thing at all.

[He doesn't like it, more precisely. Kenma shifts away from Oikawa's fingers, still unsure how to feel about all of this - wary because stranger danger, but on the other hand something's telling him not to mind it so much...]

[And do what with the remains???

Since Kenma seems against the idea, the only logical thing to do is take him by the chin -- gently, but with just enough effort to keep him in place.]

You're saying you don't need to practice~? [Why's he leaning in while doing this? Why are their foreheads touching? Why this.] If you stop improving, you'll just be replaced.

[Probably throw them away!!!!

Ah -- they're so close. Getting closer. He can feel Oikawa's breath on his lips, it's so gross (because it's him).]

I don't care. Kuroo wouldn't replace me anyway. [...wait they're not talking about volleyball.

But he is kissing Oikawa, as confusing as it is. It's because he's too close -- way too close -- it was an accident!]

[This is a Taylor Swift song in the making. And, at least he isn't really cheating on Kuroo up here; since he was mentioned, he's now here in spirit.

Which is creepy and gross and while Kuroo was a fleeting thing to think about, he's preoccupied with the light pressure against his lips. He's prompted to purse his own, splaying his fingers out along the side/back of his head, ruffling his hair with his fingertips.

There's some additional weight, a little tugging as he favors the smaller male's lower lip...he's essentially forgetting all about who he's kissing and is focused on the act itself. Fuckin' cursed carnival rides.]
