So I'm thinking about trying to make something other than one-shots. If you want me to continue after this short little chapter, then I'll try my best. Also, I'm not exactly sure, but pretty sure, that I don't D. Gray Man.
"Huh? There's no other carts for the Ferris wheel…..so we have to go on this one together?" Allen inquired as he pointed to the redheaded stranger behind him.
The man working the Ferris wheel sweated nervously, wiping the sweat from his brow with his gloved hand while looking between Allen and the one-eyed red head behind him. "I'm afraid so dear customers. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm afraid this ride only allows two passengers, and single passengers are not allowed.
"Great." Allen said before visibly sighing. Well I guess it's fine with me since I was really looking forward to this ride, and I guess since I lost the person I came here with, then…..it's whatever."
"Th-then….It's up to you d-dear customer." The man said to the red head who smiled at the nervous man before speaking up as well.
"Yeah, I'm fine with it as well. At least I'll be riding in the cart with someone cute, even if they are a little on the short side." The one-eyed man said while smiling seductively at Allen before walking over to sit in the Ferris wheel cart once the man had opened the door to it. Allen did the same, glaring a hole into the red head's back as he did so.
"It's Allen." Allen growled under his breath as he took a seat across from the man he was to be sharing the cart with. He could see the man give a small chuckle into his hand when he did.
"W-well then, have a nice ride d-dear customers." The Ferris wheel man said before closing the door to the Ferris wheel, leaving Allen and the stranger in an enclosed space together.
It was a little longer before the ride finally started. It was a dark, beautiful night, the carnival lights illuminating the space around them, only second to the stars that could be seen crystal clear tonight. They seemed to linger there forever as Allen continued to stare up at them. It was almost as if the Ferris wheel wasn't moving as he just stared up at them. And stared….wait...WAIT WHAT?!
Allen quickly snapped his head down and looked all around him to see that the Ferris wheel had indeed stopped...and that he was at the top...with a stranger.
As soon as that thought had crossed his mind, the one-eyed, red headed stranger turned to look at him, blinking quickly as he finally noticed that something was wrong.
"Huh….did the Ferris wheel….stop?" He questioned as Allen nodded slowly. The mood darkened as they both sat there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Sh-should I start a conversation….Or should I just go crazy...No, I should probably remain calm in a situation like this. Allen thought as he turned his head to stare out of the window, hoping help would come soon.
"U-um...My name's Lavi. Lavi Bookman. I think that since we're stuck up here for who knows how long...that maybe we could pass the time with small talk." The man, now known as Lavi, said while holding his hand out to Allen and giving him a small smile.
"It's nice to meet you despite the….circumstances. My name's Allen….Allen Walker. It's kind of weird for us to meet in such a strange way, but hopefully they'll figure out how to get us down soon" Allen replied, grabbing the hand Lavi had been holding out, and shaking it.
"Eh~ Does that mean you don't want to spend anymore time with me Moyashi-chan~" Lavi said childishly as Allen let go of his hand.
"It's Allen." Allen replied almost instantaneously, as if by instinct. "And that's not what I meant. I just don't want to be stuck in a Ferris wheel the entire night."
"Well I don't mind it so much since I'm stuck in here with you." He said flirtatiously while winking...or blinking rapidly? It's hard to tell with an eye patch covering one of his eyes. And wow….this guy's moods change really, really easily.
"That's nice." Allen countered sarcastically, continuing shortly afterward. "Now is there anything else you'd want to talk about to pass time besides uselessly trying to flirt with me."
"Hmmm, well, I'm 21, and in college….I live with my two roommates Kanda and Lenalee...I'm bisexual...and...Oh! Totally available!" He replied happily while smiling joyfully.
Wow, too much information. Allen thought while sweat dropping. "O-ok...good to know." He told him as he looked away from his expectant gaze.
"So, aren't you going to tell me a little about yourself as well. You can at least start with your age Alley-Chan." He told Allen, awaiting his response.
Okay, I'll bite. Allen thought before replying. "I'm 18." He said quietly before receiving an unexpected, or rather expected with all the flirting, reply.
"YAHOO! That means if we date, it'd be totally legal." He said while grabbing Allen's hands and staring into his eyes before Allen turned away, a small blush taking over his face. He let go of Allen's hands, sensing his embarrassment. That was when he got up and moved to sit right next to Allen in the cramped space of the Ferris wheel compartment.
"W-what are you doing?" Allen asked while trying to scoot away from Lavi as much as he could, but the seat wasn't that big, and besides, Lavi had managed to put his arm around Allen's back, gripping his shoulder to keep him from escaping.
"So? You haven't finished telling me about yourself, and you can't exactly escape from this small compartment we're in can you?" Lavi inquired as he watched Allen's blush that had been there before come back, but this time it was a deep red that seemed to appear on his cheeks and keep spreading.
"U-u-um...eh..ah…." Allen stuttered as he looked away from Lavi and out of the window of the Ferris wheel, only to see their reflection in the glass. Seeing the look Lavi was giving in the window embarrassed him even more, so he decided to just look straight forward and just give him what he wants. "I-I'm in my last year of high school….I live in an apartment by myself after escaping my godfather…..." He paused, not wanting to continue with the rest, but Lavi wanted to hear the rest, curious about the godfather thing, but even more curious Allen's sexuality.
"...And." Lavi whispered into Allen's ear as he jumped up from the sudden feeling of Lavi breathing into his ear.
"….And… I'm Bi...as well as single." Allen whispered as he tried to swat Lavi away from his face.
Lavi's face visibly lit up as he stood up quickly, shaking the Ferris wheel cart, and managing to hit his head on the top of it. "O-ow…..but STRIKE!" Lavi yelled excitedly as he kept frantically moving around in the compartment.
"Would you sit down! You keep moving the cart and it's extremely annoying. Also, I said I'm Bi and single, but I never said you were my type." Allen said to get him to shut up and sit down.
Lavi suddenly paused after hearing this and quickly sat down across from Allen once more, looking down so that his face wasn't visible. Then he looked up so that what was visible was his stupid, cheeky grin.
"Yeah, but Alley-Chan~ You've been blushing beet red around me for quite some time, so that must mean that I'm your type." Lavi said while looking at Allen expectantly.
"Wow...I thought an idiot like you wouldn't be able to figure that out...but you actually managed to." Allen replied to his comment with a sympathetic look, almost like he was sorry that Lavi seemed like he'd be really stupid.
"H-hey. Why are you being being so mean to me, and please stop looking at me like that….wait...I GUESSED RIGHT! So that means that I am your type?! Yes!" Lavi said as they felt the Ferris wheel start to move.
"It finally looks like they were able to start the Ferris wheel back up." Allen said while not bothering to remove Lavi's arm from his shoulder.
"Dang it!" Lavi said under breath, visibly disappointed that the ride was up and running again. "Well then Bean sprout.."
"It's Allen"
"Fine. Well then, Allen, how about giving me your contact info so we can meet up again for a date?" Lavi questioned, giving Allen an alluring smile that would give most girls nosebleeds.
"You wish." Allen said as the Ferris wheel cart they were in finally stopped at the bottom and the man running the Ferris wheel cart opened the door and bowed deeply.
"I-I AM SO SORRY DEAR CUSTOMERS! I'M SORRY! REALLY SORRY! SOMETHING LIKE THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! I PROMISE WITH MY LIFE! PLEASE FORGIVE ME, AS WELL AS THE REST OF THE STAFF!" The Ferris wheel man said humbly, truly sorry about what had happened.
"I-it's fine. Please raise your head. It's fine, I promise." Allen said honestly, actually glad that it had happened. "Have a nice night Mr."
"YOUR KIND WORDS MOVE ME TO TEARS! THANK YOU SO MUCH AND HAVE A TERRIFIC REST OF THE NIGHT AFTER THIS UNFORESEEN SETBACK!" He replied as Allen started to walk away, Lavi tagging along behind him.
"So Alle-"
"Ah there's my uncle. Sorry Lavi, gotta go!"
"W-wait. Alle-"
"Bye Lavi. "Allen said before running off in the direction of his uncle. That was before he stopped and ran back to Lavi's expectant gaze. "I'm just kidding Lavi, here." Allen said before handing him his phone and holding his other hand out.
Lavi stood there for a second, shocked that Allen had come back, before wiping the dumb look off his face and happily grabbing Allen's phone from his hand excitedly and fishing his own out of his pocket to give to Allen. After punching his contact info into Allen's phone, he handed it back to Allen, getting his own phone back in return.
Before Allen left, Lavi made sure it was real and sent a text to Allen just in case. Allen's phone beeped as Allen looked down to see who it was.
Boyfriend
I think I love you :)
Allen's face lit up as he turned his phone off and started running back to his uncle again, but the whole distance this time, without turning back. I think….I may love him too… No that can't be….we just met today after all...Allen thought as he waved to his uncle who's attention he had now gotten.
"Allen! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you! And who was that man you were just with?" Neah asked as he grabbed Allen and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"That was….no one...just someone helping me find you." Allen replied as his uncle gave him a skeptical look.
"Right...So, do wanna go home now and rest?" Neah questioned.
"Home? Rest? Yes please." Allen replied enthusiastically.
"Also, I wasn't going to tell you until tomorrow, but I'm moving in." Neah said as he smiled happily at Allen.
"WHAT?!"
So that's what I have for now, and again, if you want me to continue with this thing I wrote at 1 in the morning, I'd be happy to...if I can with school in the way. Anyway, hope you liked it! (Oh and just in case, that text is supposed to be iPhone styled, and Lavi inputted the name boyfriend into Allen's phone.)
