"cassidy."
"pppst... cassidy.. you bitch cassidy WAKE UP."
"CASSIDY"
i groan, my eyes fluttering open. "tommy you're a bitch." i mumble, rubbing my eyes and sitting up.
"we're here" he smiles, gesturing toward the scene outside of his window.
i watch as the lights of the fair flash, even through the metal confines of the car i could hear the music and screams. i jump excitedly slightly, turning to face tommy with a new, awakened energy.
"tommy!!" i say, smiling widely.
he smiles, his hands resting on the sides on my hips.
that is the moment i remember what position we are in.
i begin shaking almost immediately, my face burning up. "tommy-" i say, tucking my hair behind my ear.
i've noticed the way he leans closer, the way he gives me soft, meaningful looks. he's so close i can nearly feel his breathing now.
there's a bang on our window "tommy you fucker, get out here." wilbur shouts, giving him a grin. wilbur knew what he was doing, and i was almost grateful. i didn't wanna kiss tommy in the backseat of wilburs car that smelled like niki's perfume and weed.
tommy sighs, helping me out of the car gently, following after me.
—
we'd begun to walk down the fair path, my hand intertwined with tommy's. with techno and minx at our side. noah, cooper, travis, ted, and tubbo had decided to stay up front by wilbur and niki.
the four of us crack jokes as we wait in line to get our wristbands, which of course wilbur paid for.
we all follow in a huddle through the group, standing off to the side and discussing a game plan.
"groups of three! make sure to switch eventually though, hang out with everyone." he says, grabbing niki and tubbo by the hand and walking off. as soon as he turns away we gather into groups that just completely disobeyed his request. the lunch club boys went on their own. minx and techno stayed standing next to tommy and i.
"as if dadbur could tell me what to do." noah jokes, chuckling. we watch as the group walk off.
minx turns to us. "i say we conquer the roller coasters and drop tower first." she says, with her thick accent.
"i agree. we will have much more fun than those losers." i say, trying to act all serious.
our group chuckles, making a bit more small talk about what we wanted to accomplish before the night ended.
eventually tommy and i begin leading the group to the first ride we saw, the drop tower.
i gulp as we step into the line, already near the front since it was about 3, and families with young children had gone home for dinner.
i flinch as i watch the current riders fall, and scream.
tommy squeezes my hand, looking down at me. "you don't have to do this if you don't want cassidy." he says, giving me a concerned stare.
"no no, it's okay, i just.." i shift on my feet slightly, "i'm kinda scared of drop towers." i say, laughing a little bit.
"it's okay. me too. what do you say we get out of here? let minx and techno have their fun?" he offers, giving the duo in front of us a quick glance.
i silently agree, smiling up at him. he gives me a wide grin and leans down, "cmon!! piggy back ride." he says, and i hop on, letting him carry me off.
——
over the next hour or two tommy and i ended up at way more prize booths than we should've. we'd won at nearly every single one, mostly because tommy refused to leave the booth unless he had something in his hand.
we found ourselves at the last booth we could possibly go to. which really- wasn't a booth at all. it was just some guy guarding a mall photo booth looking thing.
he asked to see our wristbands before allowing us to step inside. just like the ones at the mall, it was uncomfortably small. tommy slid 5€ into the machine and selected a photo frame for us.
the machine spouts directions for us to get in view of the camera, and i sigh, seeing my face was just out of frame. tommy pulls my legs over his, pulling me as close to him as possible.
"look woman. now you fit in the camera." he says, pointing to the screen.
"i see that tommy." i say, giving him a playful smack and posing for the first picture. i rested my head on his shoulder and smiled at the camera. for the next photo we both threw up a peace sign, and for the next i poked tommy's face.
"hey cass- wanna do something cool for the last picture?" tommy asks, raising an eyebrow at me.
"what do you mean cool?" i ask, turning to him.
i hear the camera count down as he gently grabs the side of my face, pulling me closer to him.
our lips meet gently for just a moment. i feel my legs begin to shake as the flash of the camera and the obnoxious sound effect fills the booth. he holds my face again for a moment before helping me out of the booth.
-
we collected our pictures from the little plastic compartment on the side of the booth and wandered off to find the rest of our group, seeing as it was nearly dinner and we hadn't seen them for about 3 hours.
tommy and i walk around the fairgrounds, hands intertwined. he turns suddenly, walking toward some ride. "i see them" he says, pointing near the front of the line. i nod, trailing after him.
tommy and i step into line with the group, using the "sibling" excuse, and stand with tubbo, who held what seemed to be a t-shirt he'd bought off some dude at a booth who did cute cartoons. it was off a really big bee, which was exactly on brand for tubbo.
we wait in line for a few moments, making small talk with our group as we waited for our turn. we were in line for the flying swings.
the ride manager lets the passengers off before opening our gates and allowing us through. all of our group managed to sit together, there were two swings to a row. tubbo and i sat on a row together, minx and niki in another, tommy and wilbur in another, and the lunch club boys split up evenly among themselves.
the ride starts up with a screech, and lifts us into the air. i yelp, putting my hands up and and smiling widely.
the ride begins to spin, my legs flail as the ride rotates. i lean my head back, closing my eyes as the ride makes it's run.
i zone out, focusing on the spinning of my head. i think about tommy. i think about the way he kissed me, and i think about the way he touched me. the way his intentions were always soft and full of love. i sigh. i think about us holding hands, i think about the roll of photos in the tote bag i have sitting in my lap.
i snap back to reality as my feet touch the ground.
—-
the group and i reconvene at the exit of the flying swings. the lunchclub boys said their goodbyes, telling techno and minx that they'd meet them at he airbnb.
—
"ready to go guys?" wilbur asks, wrapping his arm around niki's shoulders.
everyone in the group nods in agreement.
"actually wilbur, i'd like to take cassidy on one more ride. we'll meet you in the car." tommy interjects.
