Can't help falling in love with you

IV

"Arlo! WAKE UP!"

Arlo looked up to see Alex standing next to him. "Wha-"

"WE'RE GOING TO THE FAIR TODAY".

Arlo winced. "Alex, please stop yelling", he said while rubbing his head. "Let me get dressed and eat first, okay?"

"Yea, yea fine". Said Alexzander while waiting impatiently. He looked cute if you asked Arlo, but way too excited. "Alright I'm done".

Alexzander looked up to see Arlo standing there in a green bomber jacket with some black pants and, "wait are those my shoes?"

Arlo giggled. "I liked the print".

"How did you even get them, you egg".

"Hey", said Arlo pouting "I'm not an egg".

This time it was Alexzander who giggled. "Come on let's go, I want cotton candy!"

"Alex,what are you? 5?" Said Arlo, trying to contain his laughter.

"Shut up curly".

As they arrived at the fair, Alexzander dragged Arlo to the cotton candy stand. "Pink or blue?"

"Uuuuh".

"Just choose ar". Mumbled Alexzander, getting impatient.

"Blue?" Answered Arlo, unsure of his choice. Did they even taste different? Why were there different colours?

Alexzander got his cotton candy and finally calmed down a bit. "How about we go to the Ferris wheel?" He asked.

"Hell no!" Arlo shouted.

"What, why not?" Asked Alexzander, pouting.

"I'm afraid of heights". Mumbled Arlo.

Alexzander burst out laughing. "Oh now we're definitely going". He laughed while Arlo whined.

"Noooooo".

They got in. Of course Alexzander won their little argument, he always did. Arlo cursed himself for being so unbelievably smitten for the boy.

"I-it isn't that bad, I guess". Stuttered Arlo until the Ferris wheel stopped.
"OH MY GOD WHAT'S HAPPENING!" Arlo screamed while clutching onto Alexzander. "ALEX QUIT LAUGHING WE'RE GONNA DIE". He cried.

Alexzander looked at Arlo with tears in his eyes. "Oh my god this is the funniest thing I've ever seen". He said while laughing uncontrollably.

Arlo pouted.

"Don't be so scared, they're just letting people in". He sighed, finally able to catch his breath. "You're so cute", he said while looking at Arlo, "all scared in some stupid carnival ride".

"I'm never doing this again". Said Arlo while still clinging to Alexzander.

Alex looked down. "You look like a scared kitten". He said and leaned in. "You're so cute". He repeated as their lips met and they kissed.

Alexzander quickly pulled away. "Shit I'm-". Was all he could say before Arlo slammed his lips against back against his.

"Distract me". He said while deepening it.

Alexzander tasted like cotton candy and that lip balm he always uses. He was so warm and cozy and Arlo never wanted to let go of him again.

"Think we need to get off Ar". Said Alexzander as Arlo started whining.

"Come on". They got off and Arlo clung to his arm.

"What's it with you today?" Asked Alexzander while wrapping his free arm around the boys waist.

"Wanted you to do that for so long, don't wanna let you go incase it's not real". Said Arlo in a soft voice.

Alexzander awed. "Stop being so cute, curly. You're ruining my image".

"What image?" Asked Arlo while giggling softly.

Alexzander poked him. "My tough image".

Arlo snorted. "You wore floral shoes the first time I met you".

"You stole them today!" Yelled Alexzander back.

"Who cares, you're not tough at all". Answered Arlo, still laughing.

Alexzander slapped him playfully. "Maybe you're right". He said.

"I'm always right". Answered Arlo as Alexzander kissed him.

"Shut up, idiot".

They walked home.

"Hey Alex, do you wanna stay over?" Asked Arlo, looking innocently.

"Wouldn't want anything else".

They both laid in bed, Arlo's head on Alexzanders chest. Arlo could hear his heartbeat and feel his body relax against his.

"Curly?" Mumbled Alexzander. "Can you sing like you always do?" He asked, yawning softly.

Arlo blushed and started humming. As he dozed off, he felt Alexzander pressing a chaste kiss to the top of his head before he fell into a deep sleep, feeling more protected than ever.
