My Lethe

The Date.

"I didn't bring my jacket."

Zhang Wei said as they stood in line at the amusement park. He couldn't believe that Qiang took him to an amusement park for a date! First the go cart complex and now an amusement park?! He felt like they were children again.

"Should I have my driver go get it for you?" Zhang Wei rubbed his hands together even though it didn't give him any warmth. Qiang saw this, and placed his hands around Zhang Wei's.

"No I'll just be cold." He said.

"Then should we go? We can go somewhere that's warm," Zhang Wei nudged Qiang in his arm. He didn't mind it to that point of course.

" We can ride just one or two rides and leave. It'll be okay then," Qiang sighed but accepted even if he felt that would be a complete waste of time. How could he really enjoy himself?

When they got into the park, Qiang managed to slip his fingers through Zhang Wei's without Zhang Wei pulling away. The more and more time they spent together the more and more Zhang Wei grew comfortable and allowed the affection. Now, Qiang could freely hold Zhang Wei's hand without trouble and Zhang Wei would even tighten his fingers when ever he felt their hands were separating.

The two walked hand in hand throughout the park until they reached the scarier rides. The park was still rather empty, and of course Qiang was grateful that it was. The lines were short and the two would easily get through them.

"Which roller coaster do you want to ride first?" Qiang asked. He looked down at the map that Qiang grabbed at the entrance carefully. All of them looked fun and just scary enough to be thrilling. So, Zhang Wei chose a random roller coaster.

"This one," he pointed at a roller coaster that was blue. When they got to the roller coaster it was a neon blue and was the highest roller coaster in the entire park. Zhang Wei's heart was pounding out of excitement and he no longer could feel the cold air.

The two rushed up the steps, and stopped at the gate. There was only seven other people in line, and they all sat rather randomly. Zhang Wei and Qiang chose to sit in the middle of the roller coaster. Quickly; the two boys took their seat, which was not separated, and eagerly waited for the ride to start. The ride attendant went around making sure that all seat belts were fastened, and finally stopped at the two.

"Your first time?" The attendant asked Zhang Wei as he checked Qiang's seat belt. Qiang eyed him carefully.

"Yeah. My first at this park." Zhang Wei responded.

Qiang couldn't believe his eyes. The flight attendant was clearly flirting and even touching Zhang Wei more than he was supposed to! He didn't remember the attendant patting his shoulder when he finished checking his seat belt the way he did Zhang Wei.

"Everyone loves this ride."

"Hey, don't you have a ride to attend to? Get fucking lost!" Qiang tried to get up but he was locked down. He could only intimidate the ride attendant for so long. Yet he still couldn't believe the nerve of some people! He looked over, prepared to scold Zhang Wei but the words ran back into his head when he saw the angelic look on his face. He peacefully stared ahead awaiting for the ride to start, and Qiang couldn't possibly break that peace.

When the ride started, it went at a slow speed up the high end of the roller coaster. That is the moment the anticipation builds up in your stomach. Zhang Wei and Qiang held onto the handle bars tightly, waiting for the moment that they finally drop and feel the butterflies in their stomach. And when Qiang sees that they are approaching it and will make the drop in a few seconds he lets go of the handle bars. He leaned over towards Zhang Wei, grabbed his face, and kissed him right as the cart dropped. He didn't plan to kiss him, but it was so difficult for him to resist it. All he thought about was the moment they'd kiss, and now, as they quickly went down the tracks he got it. Their lips still moved together, feeling so great until they made a sharp turn, pulling Qiang again.
