The Photobooth

Chapter One.

"Joey we can't take a picture of us kissing! If anybody found out, we could be arrested" Harry Smithson exclaimed nervously as his boyfriend leaned in towards him just as the camera was about to snap another picture in the photo booth.
"Trust me H" Joey murmured inches away from Harry's lips,
"Always" Harry melted into Joey's touch as he leaned in, pressing his lips upon his own just as the shutter clicked.
"There, that wasn't so bad now was it?" Joey grinned as he pecked Harry on the cheek.
"We need to get the photos before anyone sees Joey!" Harry shot up from his seat, his heart pounding as he thought of what would happen if anybody saw the incriminating picture the pair had just taken. It was an offence after all to take part in any 'homosexual act'.
"Joey!" Harry said again, his voice tensing up as the seconds ticked by. In response Joey stood up from his seat and pulled Harry closer, kissing him once more as he held him close.
"Okay, now we can go" Joey grinned as he pulled back, winking at Harry as he left the booth, grabbing the photos they had taken with one quick swipe of his hand. Harry stumbled out after him, his mind still reeling as he played the kisses and caresses over in his mind, his breath hitching slightly as he thought of the way Joey's lips felt upon his own. He traced his fingers gently over his lips, savouring the warm fuzzy feeling that had engulfed his body with every touch, and every glance that Joey had given him.
"You coming or what H?" Joey shouted to Harry from a few feet away, his infamous smirk plastered upon his ever beautiful face.
"Yeah coming" Harry replied, his own face spreading into a huge smile that spread from ear to ear as he jogged over to where Joey stood.

"I dare you to go on the roller coaster with me" Joey spoke, his voice husky and his eyes sparkling as he walked backwards in front of Harry.
"I don't know Joey, I really don't like heights" Harry replied, worrying his bottom lip nervously.
"Aww come on, you can hold onto me for support" Joey teased playfully "And if nobody is looking we can hold hands" He finished as they reached said roller coaster.
"I'm still a little unsure" Harry stated as he looked up at the roller coaster that seemed to loom over them as they stood below it.
"If you do then I'll buy you some candy floss afterwards. Granted if you don't feel sick" Joey chuckled, winking again at Harry as usual.
"Hmm, okay fine" Harry relented, he could never resist that smile and those eyes.
"I knew you couldn't resist me H" Joey smirked as he turned around and purchased two tickets for them to get on the ride.
"I never can" Harry mumbled underneath his breath, as he took a step forward and got into the car with Joey by his side; who was as always smiling his mischievous smile, the one Harry could never and would more than likely never be able to resist.

"I'm not so sure about this Joey" Harry said apprehensively as they climbed to the top of the roller coaster, the world below them shrinking into a picture perfect postcard scene.
"Just look at how beautiful everything is H" Joey smiled turning to face Harry, his eyes twinkling as he spoke; "Look at how small the people look, almost as if you could pick them up and put them in your pocket" Joey whispered pointing to the people below.
"You could throw Mrs Longbottom and her judging gaze away so we don't have to listen to her stupidity anymore" Harry joked, laughing with Joey at the mere prospect of said joke.
"And Mr Clive the hard ware store owner who sticks his nose in everybody's business" Joey added just as they reached the top ready to go down.
"Joey" Harry's voice quavered at the sight of the drop below them
"Don't worry, I've got you" Joey said softly, taking Harry's hand within his own under their coats so that no prying eyes could see. As they dropped the whole world spun by them in one fast blur; all the while Harry's hand remained in Joey's keeping him from flying away as he felt like he could at any moment.

"See that wasn't so bad now was it?" Joey asked as they both got off the ride.
"I suppose not" Harry smiled following Joey towards the games stalls.
"Come on, I'll win you something" Joey grinned, racing towards the 'shooting game'.
"Wait up Joey!" Harry shouted after him
"Slow coach" Joey said as Harry caught up with him just as he was buying the tickets for him to play.
"Not my fault you run so fast" Harry joked as Joey took his first shot missing.
"Damn, I'll get it next time" Joey cursed taking his second shot and missing again,
"Third time lucky" Joey said
"You trying to win something for your girl?" The stall holder asked chuckling slightly
"Something like that" Joey replied, winking at Harry as he took his last shot, this time hitting on of the tin cans and knocking it over.
"Result! And the crowd goes wild" Joey imitated the roaring of a crowd as he waved his arms around in the air as a way of celebrating.
"Well done lad, you'll make your lass happy" The stall holder smiled as he handed Joey a teddy bear from the prize rack."I'm sure I will sir, thank you" Joey replied taking the teddy and walking away with Harry at his side. 

"Here you go then milady" Joey replied passing the teddy to Harry.
"Why thank you kind sir" Harry replied laughing happily as he did so.
"Oh, and we can't forget the candyfloss I promised you now can we?" Joey grinned, racing off to the candyfloss stall.
"Joey wait up!" Harry said chasing after him once more.

"I really enjoyed tonight Joey, thanks for taking me" Harry smiled sheepishly as he looked up from underneath his eyelashes at Joey, as they neared Harry's house.
"It was my pleasure H" Joey replied returning his gaze "As it always is with you" He finished, brushing his hand against Harry's, very aware that anybody could be watching from their windows as they were prone to doing so in their small village, it was full of busy bodies and gossips, as were all good villages as his Father always joked.
"Well this is me" Harry sighed as they reached his house, sad that the night he was over.
"Don't be sad H, we'll see each other soon" Joey replied taking a step towards Harry, the moonlight illuminating his face,
"I know I just miss you when you're gone" Harry replied.
"I'm never gone H, I'm always around in the village" Joey said trying to cheer him up.
"I know, but we rarely get the chance to speak in public, never mind act like other couples do" Harry said, sadness filling his eyes and voice.
"That just makes the time we do spend together even more special" Joey tried to raise Harry's spirits up a little bit.

"Harry love is that you?" A voice shouted from one of the upstairs windows.
"Yes Mum, I'm coming" Harry shouted back response.
"Look I have to go, speak soon?" Harry asked as he turned to go inside.
"Harry" Joey said, he rarely used Harry's full name, it was usually his nickname "H" for him, so Harry turned around curiously.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Keep these safe for me will you?" Joey replied, slipping the photo booth pictures into Harry's top pocket.
"I will do Joey" Harry said looking him right in the eyes as he spoke.
"Good. Night H" Joey replied as he turned to walk away"Goodnight Joey" Harry said into the night as he watched Joey walk away, his fingers reaching up
