(Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you guys have fun with your family and eat a lot of food!)

Aaron's POV

"Why are you so excited to go to this carnival, anyway?"

Calvin stops, looks at me and says in a child-like voice "Because I haven't been to one in a long time. And besides, carnivals are fun."

"What's so fun about playing games that are obviously rigged, being surrounded by loud and obnoxious people, and sweating to no end. This sounds more like a trip to hell than fun."

"Stop being so pessimistic. You've never been to a carnival before anyways, so how would you know?"

"Wel-"

"You wouldn't know, that's the answer." I cocked my eyebrow, turned his head towards me to look me in the eye and glared at him, making sure he was looking at me "If I weren't so rudely interrupted I would've answered the question myself." My voice is naturally deep so I said it in a lower tone, just to intimidate Calvin.

Apparently, it didn't work, since Calvin just stuck out his tongue and started running away. "Cheeky son of a bitch" I say under my breath and started running after him.

Calvin's POV

I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die. Aaron's gonna kill me. He's gonna beat me until I become one with ground...

Well, maybe not that much. I do have a habit of exaggerating things. He's probably just gonna put me in a choke hold and drag me around for a little, or he gets tired of holding me.

Still, Aaron's a pretty intimidating guy. His messy black hair makes him look scary and emo, especially when it covers his face, which it does alot. To make it worse, he only wears dark clothes. His excuse?

'White clothes get dirty easily.'

He's honestly too careless and lazy to wear light colored clothes.

I know it may sound like I hate him, but I don't. I've known this dude since middle school and I wouldn't change him for the world. He's nice when he wants to be. He's really caring, too. He's like a tsundere: hard on the outside, soft on the inside. 

Fun fact, Aaron was my first crush. Yes, I'm gay. Aaron was the one helped me accept that. When I told him that I liked boys and that I liked him, he was totally cool with it. Of course, he turned me down and I was sad for a little, but I got over it. Now Aaron and I are best friends, and I don't have a problem with liking guys. So, yeah Aaron's really nice. It just takes a while for him to show it.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

Someone turns me around and holds by me shoulders. Suddenly, I'm face to face with a pair of blue eyes staring down at me accompanied by a smirk. Aaron caught me. Great 😩.

Aaron's POV

"Caught you."

"Obviously." Calvin rolls his eyes.

"Ok then Mr. Sarcastic, let's get to the carnival before it gets late."

I grab Calvin by the neck into a choke hold and drag him with me to the carnival.

20 minutes later

We're finally at the carnival. Yay 😒. Calvin rushes in front of me to buy admission tickets and then we enter the carnival. Its decent looking. There are a lot of bright colors and lights. Along with many, many booths for food, games, and other 'fun' stuff. Calvin looks like a kid in a candy shop, his doe eyes scanning the booths. He points at one and tugs my shirt.

"Let's go to that one first!"

Honestly, I hate that game. You know, the one where you knock down the clowns and get a prize. Its so fucking hard to knock down one. But I go with him anyways. Why? I have nothing better to do.

After watching Calvin fail and waste his money on multiple booths, its starting to hurt watching him fail. I take out my wallet, hand the clerk the money before Calvin could and aimed. I'm pretty good at this game, since it requires you to just have good aim. I throw the horse shoes around the pole, and after a few times, I got a prize. I turned towards Calvin and he looked at me.

"What?"

"Pick a prize, shortie."

Calvin looked both stunned and mad. I didn't think anyone could make a face like that.

"I want the whale." He pointed to a stuffed blue whale. The clerk gave it to him. Calvin looked happy.

"What do you wanna do now?"

"You decide."

"No, you."

"I'm not doing this, Calvin."

"Fine, you're no fun." He pouted and stared walking in a random direction. Jeez, what a handful. Then I ran up to him as we looked for something fun to do.
