Something new

05. The amusement park

Ohm woke up to the sound of a new message coming from his phone on the bedside table. He made an effort to open his eyes and read the text that hour in the morning.

"Meet me at the amusement park at 8 pm."

The rest of slumber still trapping Ohm inside a blurred fog was shaken off as the man felt a thrill of happiness running through his body making him jump out of the bed swinging his hip left and right while singing a random song that crossed his mind. 

"There is no place I would rather be… mhmm… No place I rather beee~", he followed out of tune, but still feeling like he was the 

 lottery winner or something as good as this.

The hours felt like centuries, but he was finally at the amusement park waiting for Fluke. Ok, he was a bit early considering it was still 7:15 pm, but that was the best he could convince himself to wait at home. He sighed at his own anxiety wondering if he was putting too much expectation on that evening. It was still his class, Fluke sent him a second message saying they would use that opportunity to behave like he already was in the US and that made him think what the other man was planning.

Ohm snapped out of his trance after feeling a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around and faced his angel on Earth staring at him with a bright smile.

Fluke was wearing a denim jumpsuit and a simple white shirt under it. The shirt's pocket had a little letter "F" on it and Ohm had to suppress a squeal at the other's cuteness. Fluke had also braided his hair and looked simply ethereal. However, the light expression the English teacher had was slowly being replaced by one out of his concern after Ohm not responding to his greeting.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Hey! Hi! Pretty!", a blushing Ohm blurted out making Fluke even more confused. "I'm sorry, I was too distracted. Let's start again! Hi, how are you?", the business man asked, smiling sweetly.

It was the last straw for Fluke. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and pouted – a sight that made Ohm get a little distracted again, he wished it was possible to take a photo of those cute plump lips pursed together like that – not responding to the taller man.

"Is there anything wrong?", Ohm asked again to no avail. It was when a thought crossed his mind and he decided to switch languages. "Good evening, Mr. Fluke! How are you?", Ohm struggled with his English to put up a nice sentence. Apparently, it was good enough, since the face of the angel instantly lit up again with his sunny smile and a polite reply.

"I'm great! But let's go now or we won't be able to ride all the attractions!", Fluke said and reaching for Ohm's hand, interlocked fingers with him while both started to run to the rollercoaster.

"Have you ever ridden one of these?", Fluke asked his student, who seemed to be a mute for a few moments.

"I-I…", Ohm was stuttering and reading the moment a bit off, Fluke assumed the man was having trouble translating his own thoughts.

"Just relax, okay? I'm here to help you! The most important thing for you to learn tonight is how to communicate properly in a different environment.", Fluke squeezed Ohm's hand a bit, reassuring him there was nothing to worry about.

"I… can do this!", Ohm finally said and soon both were screaming and crying in the roller coaster loops.

From there on, they both rode every single attraction at the park and tasted all the delicious food available at the cute vending booths settled there. There were traditional thai candies and also ice cream, crepes and all kinds of sweets. 

At 10 pm Fluke was looking for something else for them to do, when it was Ohm's turn to grab his hand and drag him across the park to where he wanted to.
