"Look, I promise you it's not going to fall."

    "That's what they always say in movies before everyone dies!" you whine while hiding behind your boyfriend's back.

    "We're not gonna die."

    "That too!"

    Sosuke swiftly spins you around in front of him and pushes you to the almost emtpy ferris wheel line by your shoulders. "How about this," he says "If you hate it, you make me do something I'll hate, okay?"

    "Anything?"

    "Anything."

    "How about breaking up with me?" you suggest - he just chuckles.

    "Yeah, sure. C'mon."

    Within minutes there was no way out of it now - you guys have waited too long in this line to back out now. Even if you did leave, too many people decided to ride after you guys did and the wait would be even worse if you went back. "Oh my God I'm so gonna kill you." you exaggerate as the people in front of you get in the capsule.

    "I love you too." Sosuke says.

    But as you see the capsule before you guys leave and yours slowly approach, you begin to feel sick to your stomach and your knees shake. "Sosuke I'm sorry but I can't do this!"

    "Yes you can."

    "Sosuke! I can't!" You yell, earning some stares from other people. Suddenly his warm arms wrap around your neck and he pulls you to his chest.

    "I promise, you'll be okay." he softly says in your ear. "Would I make you ride it if I didn't think you'd be safe?"

    "Yeah, you would..." you mutter. Damn you... you think as your hands reach up to his arms. You know I can't resist when you do that... You take a deep breath and nod, and he releases you so you can step in to the death trap. "Okay, okay, fine."

    "Please watch your step, Miss." the worker reminds you as you walk in. You take a seat and Sosuke follows. "Please fasten your seatbelts, tug on the black strap there...good. No leaning on the door of this ride, and please mind the rocking."

    "What?!" Sosuke scoffs next to you.

    "Enjoy the ride!" And with that, the worker shuts the door leaving you guys insulated in the mini-room.

    "Rocking?!" You half-yell at Sosuke who still has a mischievous grin on his face. "You put us in the rocking seat line?!" The ride moves and you watch as your capsul goes up and up. It's a lot faster than you expected it to be and you cling on to Sosuke's arm. "Why is it so fast?!" you say quickly. "Ahhh!" You close your eyes as the cart slides forwards. For a moment you are convinced that it will fly right off and you'll fall to your death, but it only swings back and forth for a while.

    "See? Not so bad right?" Sosuke tries to assure as the little room continues to swing.

    "Holy shit were going up so high!" You freak out at how fast this thing actually went. "Why is it so fast?! Why does it have to rock?!" "

    "(F/n), relax."

    "IhateitIhateitIhateit!!"

    "Shhh!" he hisses.

    The ride continues to move up and your eyes lock onto the window - your ears pop as you feel so dizzy and nautious that you'd throw up all of your organs or something. The tears are ready to fall. "Sosuke~!" You whine while repeatedly slapping his arm.

    "No crying."

    "I can't! Get me off!" You shriek as the room quickly slides back towards the center of the ferris wheel and rock once again. "This is already too high!"

    "Too late now," he retorts "just don't look dow--" and that's the exact thing you do.

    "Holy fuck!!" The ride hasn't even reached the top yet. You grip onto the sleeve of his shirt and bury your face in the crook of his neck. "I hate this."

    "I can see that." he replies indifferently. "I'd rather not be single after this ride is over, so..." he clicks his tongue "gotta make you like this somehow."

    "Good luck, I'm already reciting how to let you down easy. How's 'It's not you, it's me'.?"

    He chuckles. "You'd seriously use that?"

    "Either that or I do it by text."

    "You're cold."

    "That's what you get for putting me on this thing!" The ride slides over all the way to the edge again and this time it went way faster than the first two times. "Ahhhhaha!! What happened!?"

   You feel Sosuke wrap one arm around you tightly. "Hang on." he orders.

    "What's wrong?!"

    "Shh!"

    "What's happening?!" Now it's time to be worried. Sosuke hardly ever gets overprotective like this.

    "Do not make the cart move." he says slowly.

    You freeze under his grip. "Sosuke...What's happening?"

    He lets you go and burst out laughing. "Gotcha!" You sit up straight and slap his arm.

    "Fuck you!"

    "I'm okay with that but we're kinda underage."

    "This isn't funny!" You yell back. "Your first priority is to get me back and you decide that scaring the shit out of me is the best way?"

    "You know me~" he sings.

    "We're done."

    "Uh-huh." He says and leans back.

    "No, really. Take me home after this."

    "Sure thing."

    "I'm not kidding."

    "Of course you aren't."

    You groan in annoyance and turn around to face away from him. "How long will we be up here?"

    "A while. Remember that they have to get everyone off of here as well." Something inside you shatters as your eyes widen in sudden realization. "So I should have some time to win you back."
    All you can do is freeze in terror as your eyes lock down to the ground below. The people look like moving dots, and as you slowly rise your head you can see the rest of the carnival. The top of the rollercoaster, the petting zoo for little kids, the tilt-a-whirl nearby the ocean. You suddenly forget that you were up so high and manage a small smile. You then get lost at watching the sunset by the ocean - so lost in fact that when the cart slides back from the ferris wheel moving up again you don't even react.

    "It's cold up here." You comment. "Are there like air vents in this thing?"

    "Perfect, there's my chance to give you my sweater, right?" You turn to Sosuke with a 'seriously?' look.

    "Shut up!" you laugh and playfully hit his arm. "I didn't really mean that, you know..." your cheeks become pink at admitting it.

    "Oh, that's good."

    "That's all you say?!"

    He flinches. "Woah, sorry, sorry."

    "Huh? But I'm the one trying to apologize here..." That just makes him laugh - no matter how confused you are right now you can't help those little butterflies in your stomach that happens every time he does that.

    "You apologized without even saying the word 'sorry'. Alright, makes sense." He says and puts his arm around your shoulders.

    You blush even more and your heart rate slowly rises up. You had been dating Sosuke for a few months now yet you were still not quite comfortable with stuff like this - the only thing you like so far is when he hugs you like he did earlier. "Hey.....watch'a doing?" You utter out.

    "I was trying to be romantic. Is it working?"

    You only shrug. "You at least solved the 'cold' problem though." you joke.

    He sighs. "Then what else am I supposed to do?"

    "I'm kidding, I'm kidding!" You bashfully say while waving your hand. He seriously sounds annoyed now... Is he really trying his best? Wow... and I've been a little brat this whole time. "This is just fine." you quickly say before leaning in to him. "Actually, it's really cute." You're talking too much. But that's what I do whenever a situation is really awkward! Gah!

    "You're really cute."

    "Hahaha, that was lame."

    "That was the point."

    "Hm-hm." You chuckle.

    It's silent for a little while - the ride slides over again and again. It was always a bit more scarier to you when it went to the edge because the ocean is right under the capsule and a little irrational fear that you'd fall and the room would get flooded clouds your mind.

    "So how do we know today isn't the day that this ride will break?" you ask as your capsule nearly reaches the top of the ride - most of the view in the windows now is the orange sunset and pink clouds.

    "Oh stop complaining, I thought you were okay by now." he sounds genuinely annoyed.

    "I am, but still, it's not wrong to be cautious." You don't get the best feeling when he doesn't respond. Was it not the best time to say that? Or is he mad because he thinks I'm lying and actually hate the ride? Yeah...that's probably it. He probably thinks he screwed up! I'm such an idiot! Okay, okay, what to do...what to do... find out? How? Wah just wing it. "Sorry." you whisper.

    "It's okay."

    Bingo.

    Damn, now I feel bad. The ferris wheel moves again and now it's at the highest point. "Wow, the view is so nice!"

    "Yeah."

    "I think I like ferris wheels now. Really!"

    "You don't have to make me feel better." he kindly says.

    "No, I really do like it!" he only lets some air out through his mouth in a half-sigh, not believing you. "So~suke~"

    "Okay, I believe you."

    "No you don't."

    "Yeah I do."

    "Nope."

    "I think I'd know what my feelings are."

    You giggle and poke at his stomach. "No you don't! The girlfriend knows everything~"

    He clicks his tongue. "Oh God..." he whispers off to the side.

    Your heart beats rapidly as you feel your face heat up and you continue to look forwards at the empty seats. I snuck that in there really quick...did he take the hint? You two have been dating, but never officially declared anything with the words 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend' yet, until now. But for several weeks now you've considered him to be that...

    The cart quickly slides again suddenly, and this time your seats swing at the edge of the wheel - meaning everytime it slides to the outside it feels like you guys are sliding backwards.

    Because the regular sliding and swinging wasn't scary enough. Sosuke leans his head against the side of yours - you can feel his heart beat stronger and quicker in his chest. "Then as the boyfriend I should at least be able to tell that you're still scared of this." Your face breaks out into a smile.

    "Well, I'm still not very fond of the swinging part."
