"Why are you so happy?" My mom asked as I sat down on the couch and cuddled up to her.
"He's spending the weekend with Aaron." Brooke muttered without looking up from her phone. "Are you now?" Mom chuckled.
"They're dating again." Brooke muttered.
"When did this happen?"
"Same situation as last time though, well I'd say it's worse." Brooke said.
"Shush." I said quickly.
"Justin, what's going on?"
"We are seeing each other again; I wouldn't say we're official though."
"Why not?"
"He'sgotaboyfriend." I said quickly, just not quickly enough.
"He has a boyfriend?"
"Maybe."
"Oh Justin, you don't make life easy, do you?"
"I didn't even mean for it to happen, it just sorta did."
"And Brooke, how do you feel?"
"I don't care really."
"So what is Aaron doing about his boyfriend?"
"He said he's going to break up with him, but he's waiting because Chad's mom is really ill at the moment."
"What's this Chad like?"
"I feel so bad, because he's really sweet and nice, he's funny and he really cares about Aaron, he thinks he was lucky to have found him."

"You look after my son Aaron Coady."
"I will, don't worry Pam."
"Can you tell me where you two are going?"
"Not really, it's a surprise."
"You better text me to let me know you've got their safely."
"I promise." Aaron took my hand in his as we walked to his car.
"Can I please know where we're going?"
"No." I sighed as I dropped Aaron's hand and got in the car.
"Where's Chad for the weekend then?"
"He's visiting his mom; I'm hoping to get back before he does."
"And if you don't?"
"Just let me worry about that."
"I can't help but worry, I'm seeing someone else's boyfriend."
"Shush, this weekend is going to be fun."
"Can we stop for food on the way?"
"I don't know."
"Please?"
"Maybe."
"But I'm starving."
"You're like a whiny child," Aaron sighed. "Anyway, how can you be hungry, we've only just set off?"

"We're here." I heard Aaron mutter as my eyes fluttered open. I yawned and stretched before taking my glasses off, rubbing my eyes and then putting them back on. "How long was I asleep?"
"About two hours but we're here now." I looked out the window at the hotel.
"You didn't?"
"I did, the carnival is back in town."
"You're actually the cutest person alive."
"I'm not cute, I'm hot and sexy."
"You carry on telling yourself that."
"You're mean."

That evening I found myself walking across the carnival holding Aaron's hand. He handed the guy our tokens before we got on the Ferris wheel. "Thank you." I said as I scooted closer to Aaron. "What for?"
"Tonight, I've had fun."
"I can't say I make a habit of taking guys to the carnival to tell them I love them."
"What?"
"Justin Andrew Honard, I love you so fucking much."
"You're being so cheesy." I laughed.
"I give up."
"Why?" I laughed even more.
"I try to be all romantic and shit and you just make fun of me."
"I'm s-sorry." I muttered in between laughs. I composed myself before taking his hand once more. "I love you too."
