Kunikida checked his watch for what easily could have been the tenth time that hour. "Alright, we've got two minutes. The ferris wheel line should be down by half since we were last there and we can make it just in time for the next round to start," he explained, gesturing with his free hand just up ahead. His other hand, meanwhile, was occupied, Dazai's fingers laced through his.

"Maybe your schedules are good for something after all," came the voice from Dazai's other side. "If it can get us a good ride that is."

"Of course it can," Kunikida snapped back. "And of course my schedules are good for something." He leaned in front of Dazai a little as they walked, to properly look at the owner of the voice on that other side. A playfully smirking Chuuya looked back at him, holding Dazai's other hand.

Shaking his head, Kunikida shifted his gaze back ahead. The lit up ferris wheel was just a little ways up, and there ideally shouldn't have been any trouble making it there within the two minutes he had allotted for himself and his partners. But then again, he was with Dazai. At a fair. A fair with distractions around every corner.

No sooner had that thought crossed his mind did Dazai stop dead in his tracks, thus stopping the other two on each side of him.

"Wh-"

"Kunikida-kun!" Dazai exclaimed brightly.

Kunikida bit back a sigh. "What is it, Dazai?"

"We should stop for snacks!" he let go of Chuuya's hand to point in the direction of a little snack stand that seemed to have caught his eye. When his hand dropped back to his side, Chuuya was quick to reclaim it with his own.

Chuuya then glanced over at Kunikida. "The line does look pretty short," he admitted.

"Agh- don't encourage him-" Kunikida glanced back down at his watch. Make that eleven times within the hour.

"So can we?" Dazai asked, nearly vibrating in place. He seemed awfully excited about some crappy little food stand.

This time, Kunikida didn't even stop his sigh from escaping. "We'll make it quick, alright?"

Satisfied with the answer he'd received, Dazai dropped both of their hands and practically skipped on ahead, leaving the two to follow him along. "Well hurry up then!"

Kunikida looked over at Chuuya who just half-shrugged before offering him a hand. Kunikida shrugged back and took it, the two of them following after their boyfriend.

This kind of thing wasn't out of the ordinary for their dates. To be fair, they hadn't been on too many since properly establishing their triad relationship, but still. Both Chuuya and Kunikida had known Dazai long enough to expect these sort of antics from him.

By the time they caught up to him, Dazai was holding a place in line for the two of them. He rocked back and forth on his heels, his wallet clutched in his hand ready to go with only one other patron ahead of him in line.

"So what do you want anyways?" Kunikida asked. Seeming not to notice Dazai's wallet, he fished his own out, expecting he'd be the one to pay.

Dazai put a hand out to stop him. "Nope! My treat this time."
