[One of the best souvenirs someone could get was something potentially black mail worthy. He had wanted to scope out the photo on the screen just to see if the other was afraid on his first roller coaster ride. After seeing the image, he decided to get a couple copies of it. It’ll be worth the look he will receive when Kimblee sees it.

Speaking of his companion, where did he go?

Once the photos were printed out, he decided to look around for Kimblee. Maybe he should have attached a pompom to his head to make him easier to find.]

[halfhearted]

[Thinking about it for a moment before he leaned close to press his forehead against the side of Kimblee's face.]

As fun as it might be to mark you, I really don't. [Leaning away to meet his look.] Especially if you're going to look like that.

[fulmination]

Is there a problem with how I look? _{[Don't mind him, he's just going to take it upon himself to invade his personal space.]}

I could always wipe the look you have on your face. Maybe it'd be worth it.

_{[Especially where people can see!]}

[halfhearted]

[Did he forget what happened last time?

Vanitas will place his hand on the side of Kimblee's neck.]

There might be. A big one. [Like this weird urge to do something they might regret.]

And how do you plan on doing that? [Curiosity killed the Vanitas?]

[fulmination]

<sub>[He never said his ideas were good ones.

Regret... That's some fancy word from another country, right?]</sub>

And here I thought I caught everything when I finished that pretzel.

<sub>[Well, pride killed the Pride, so maybe it'll work in the same way. That, and maybe their memories would be a little wonked at the end of the curse--it's not something Kimblee enjoys thinking about, but it makes him feel a bit better about what he's about to do.

He'll just casually close the distance and press a kiss to the other's lips.]</sub>

[halfhearted]

[He almost looked to see what might have been left behind from the pretzel.

And then he had Kimblee on his mouth.

...what?

Seriously. What?

It wasn't that it was bad or anything. Just surprising. He'll make a low hum before he gently bit Kimblee's lower lip. Sliding his hand to rest on the back of the alchemist's neck as he decided to try to figure out this kissing thing next if can keep the other there long enough. Returning the kiss albeit a little awkwardly because this is the first time.

Ignore whatever heat might be coming from Vanitas' face.]

[fulmination]

<sub>[Nope. He'll never ignore it. N e v e r.

He'll give it a few more moments for it to sink in before he takes it a step further and returns the bite with one of his own. Not only that, there's a small sense of satisfaction in seeing Vanitas making that look. This was something that he'd be keeping to himself, reluctance or otherwise. Besides, this was fine, wasn't it? The small shred of Kimblee that actually cared said it was; he was seventeen, not thirty-seven.

This was fine; It was just a kiss! A harmless little kiss!

Finally he drew back a bit to get a better look at Vanitas.]</sub>

...Is that what you wanted?

[halfhearted]

[There might have been a smile in response to that bite. Biting was definitely easier than smooching. The kiss was just another form oh physical contact, right? He trusted the other enough to know it would be shared to the world that they even tried this. Hell, the outing wouldn’t be mentioned to others if he can help it.

This was all thanks to him being younger and nothing more. Kimblee was the one who said it would be a bad idea, even if that had been brought up thanks to joking about it. Kimblee also was the one who had the age issue. Vanitas was telling the truth when he said he had no preference with these matters. It was simple for him, but the other was once again making things mucked up and complicated.

Even after the kissing had stopped, he would look at the other for a bit longer as he tried to puzzle something out.

Vanitas decided to growl low as he crossed his arms. He should enjoy the view with the ride ending soon.] I didn’t say that.

[fulmination]

You could've pushed me away, you know.

<sub>[There's a moment of hesitation before Kimblee moves to place his arm around Vanitas' shoulders. This wasn't Amestris, so the rules had to be a little different here, right? Maybe there wouldn't be anything to worry about when the curse ended.

Maybe.

And then just like that, he's removing his arm to glance out the opposite way.]</sub>

...I apologize.

[halfhearted]

[The apology was even worst.

Letting out a hiss as he grabbed that arm to return it to his shoulders. Helping himself to placing his hand over Kimblee's hand to hold it there.]

...I didn't say that either.

[fulmination]

_{[He raises a brow at Vanitas, but he doesn't question it outright.]}

...I can't read minds.

[halfhearted]

[He's being physical and had returned the previous physical affections. What else did Kimblee need explained?

Breathing out before he looked at the other.]

Would be bad if you could. [Decided to settle his head on Kimblee's shoulder. It's okay!]

[fulmination]

_{[That 'Emotions for Dummies Book'. He doesn't understand it at all.]}

Two cens for your thoughts?

[halfhearted]

[Maybe for a birthday gift.]

After you're the right age. [The hormones or the blaming it on age thing needs to not be a thing.] We're going to be disturbed soon anyways. [It was already halting to let people one or two "carts" ahead.

Turning his head to press his mouth against Kimblee's hand before letting go.]

[fulmination]

...Of course. _{[He'd be lying if he said wasn't expecting something like that. It may even be longer if Kimblee decides to pull a disappearing act for a few days to think about it.]}

To the cars, then?

_{[Vanitas you're breaking him even worse than he already is.]}

[halfhearted]

[It was still the beginning of week too. After today they will have five whole days for Kimblee to blame hormones or getting in trouble if they want. Paintball is still on, right?

He'll make a sound at that look before standing up before they were up. It's like surfing when it moved again.]

Works for me. I could use an excuse to trap you against a wall. [Giving a smirk.]

[fulmination]

_{[Always. He wouldn't turn down a chance to take out some frustration on shooting something like that, especially considering he'd have to redraw his arrays every other use.]}

I... wasn't aware you needed an excuse. _{[HE GETS IT BUT STILL.]}

[halfhearted]

[Raising a brow.]

Did you want me to do it normally? [And they were up! Vanitas held out his hand as the operator opened their door.]

[fulmination]

You don't seem to have any issue with pinning me down to the couch on a regular basis. _{[Gosh Vanitas, you really are a gentleman. He takes his hand and braces himself against the frame so he doesn't lose his balance as the cart rocks a bit.]}

[halfhearted]

You've done the same to me.

[It just made it easier. And never knew if Kimblee would get sick or get scared again. Stop taking it like he's being sweet.]

Maybe when I decide to bite you again. [Want to be pinned and bitten? :D

Vanitas will be patient enough to wait for it to stop rocking before leading the other out.]

[fulmination]

You never seem to mind that, either.

_{[A beat.]}

I'm still going to have to get used to that biting business of yours. _{[One of these days its going to leave a mark and he'll have a hard time explaining it to people if they ever see it.]}

Which way?

[halfhearted]

I'd have to do it often enough for you to get used to it.

[He's not sure if they are being serious or playing, but he'll take it as the latter for now. He only bit Kimblee's hand a few times! The neck was just that once, geez.]

It looked like it was over here. [He saw it from the ferris wheel! It had a roof and a sign. A bit hard to miss, man.]

[fulmination]

Honestly, I never really took you to be a biter when we first met.

_{[He'll stick to the latter as well until he figures... whatever this is out.]}

Lead the way.

[halfhearted]

Then what did you take me as?

[He's a critter with teeth! Rawr!

And he doesn't need to be told to lead. He'll head over to where he saw it. Passing through some of the games.]

Maybe later I can win you a stuffed toy. [Cause he's totally the guy on this date, right? :D He's bigger so he has dibs on that spot!]

[fulmination]

I'll get back to you on that one.

_{[Vanitas he will out-spoil you so hard. That is a challenge he will accept in a heartbeat.]}

You realize I'll have to return the favor by winning you something, then. _{[How about a big stuffed one to go with that extra height?]}

[halfhearted]

[Not fair.

Giving him a smirk as he decided to swing their linked hands.]

I'd like to see that. [Whatever he gets might wind up in Kimblee's bed in the end.

And he found the building! The line was small enough that they might all fit in next round. The cars were visible from outside too!] You can pick the game.
