What If It Happened To You On a Different Day? ☆ Ricky Potts x reader

Felt the drop.

(Y/N pov)

I wake up super excited, for once, to go to the choir.
It's not just a normal day with the choir, because we are going to a fair!

I've been waiting for this since September 1st, when Father Markus told us that we were going to compete in the fair's singing competition.
Again.
We lost last year, but I don't mind. We had free access to all of the rides for the day!!

It's 7:30 am, and I just put on my uniform, but as it's a little windy today, I wear the men's uniform vest too. I stole it from Ricky since the last time we hung out.

Oh, yeah! Ricky will be there. Best. Day. Ever!!!

It's 8 a.m., and I'm physically uncapable of stopping myself from bouncing my leg excitedly. Ocean and Constance are gossiping on the bus, Mischa is texting his... girlfriend? And Noel is picking on his nails, scrapping the black nail polish off. I'm sitting by Ricky's side, of course, and my friend, Penny, is sitting behind us alone. She's brushing her doll's hair with her fingers, like always. Cute dolly.

We finally arrive at the fair. I can see the rides and the rollercoasters. Thrilling!
I was never so excited to perform before. I feel like today is going to be the best day!

Everyone leaves the bus, leaving Ricky and I alone.
I snap my fingers to get his attention.

"We arrived, come on!"
I say, helping him get up, carrying his crutches for him as he's using a wheelchair today. It'll be easier, I guess.

He nods at me, and after a second, we are all at the entrance of the fair.

"Where do y'all wanna go first? We had a lot of time before the competition."
Constance asks

"Bumper cars!" Ocean says
"No, the ferris wheel!" Noel answers
"Can we go to the carousel...?"
Penny asks a little shyly.

"Fine by me."
I say.

But we end up going to the bumper cars anyway.
Ocean, that horrible succubus always wants everything her way.

☆
After going to the bumper cars and even the shooting gallery (Mischa is random), we all agree on going to the ferris wheel.

"Hey Ricky, wanna go with me? I promise we can go to the gravitron afterward."
I grin at him excitedly

He nods at me and smiles.

We all settle on the ferris wheel.
Constance, Ocean and Penny, Mischa and Noel, Ricky and me.
Cool!

It's like, almost lunchtime by now. I'm actually really hungry, but I can wait.

Sitting by Ricky's side, the ride starts to go up. And up, and up, and up... God, we can see all the city from here. Uranium can be really pretty if we can't see the horrible people that live here.

I feel a few taps on my shoulder.
I turn, and Ricky is smiling.

"The town doesn't look that bad from up here, don't you think?" He signs for me very quickly.
Before I can say anything, he signs 287374 more things, and I almost feel dizzy.

"Ricky, slow down a bit!"
I chuckle
"I'm still learning. Could you repeat all that, please?"

He rolls his eyes playfully and signs again, calmly now.
"I'm really excited to go to the Gravitron, but we will have to wait at least an hour after lunch to do that! But we can go to Penny's little carousel. What do you think?"

I take a second to process all the information before answering.
"Good idea! I'm excited to go to the swings. I just hope that Constance doesn't make us go to the Cyclone."
My expression changes to a worried one. I hate rollercoasters, really.
