Abe The Nurse [A Big Windup! Fanfic]

Chapter 7: The baldie has a girlfriend?

"Ooooohhh lets go on that huge ride over there!" A little annoying obnoxious freckled boy announced, pointing to the largest ride in the park.

We were only five minutes into this trip and Tajima was scaring Mihashi to death. Also making me want to murder him.

"I-I-I don't like big rides...." The honey-eyed boy mumbled in response, shaking his head shyly. He glanced at me slightly, "Unless.....Abe-Kun does."

I was once again questioning why in the hell we came here as I replied to Mihashi, "Nah, I don't really care for them." With a shrug. If I didn't say no I think Mihashi would've had a heart attack.

"Oh come on guys, it'll be fun! You two are being boring!" Tajima input in. I groaned, just wishing a miracle would happen so Tajima could go away. This was supposed to be my first date with Mihashi. I pictured doing cheesy shit like eating ice cream together and winning him a stuffed animal. Not trying to scream as loud as we can on 200ft rides.

"Let's let Mihashi pick. He's the one that planned this after all." I decided, stopping our group and turning to him. "So? What'll it be?"

Awkward silence came from Mihashi. I tried to be patient with him though. No matter what I wasn't ruining this first date. Even if that stupid Tajima was hanging around annoying us. 'He probably came just so he could destroy our relationship!' I thought to myself. Some may've called me delusion but I was pretty damn well certain about Tajima at this point.

".......mmm.....that." Mihashi pointed behind me, pulling me away from my thoughts.

I slowly turned, my heart beginning to sink as I spotted what he was pointing at. The carousel. It was a Mihashi type ride. Quiet, slow, relaxing, cute, it was very suited for him. However....only little kids were on it. I was expecting if three teenage boys got on board we'd get a lot of looks and stares.

I gulped, wanting to say something. However I forced the awkwardest smile the world had ever seen. "S-Sure....." I replied through gritted teeth, trying to make my expression as kind as possible.

Luckily I was rewarded with Mihashis sweet face lighting up as we headed over to the line. I shoved my hands in my pockets, messing with a quarter as a stress-reliever. Tajima seemed alright about the whole ride thing. Obviously he didn't care what other people thought.

But, I kinda did.

Eventually we got there, the official running the ride giving us a look. However he let us on, and Mihashi excitedly picked out a white horse to ride on. He hopped up on it, and I reluctantly got on the black horse next to him. Tajima boarded the gray one, and the ride began.

The cheesy music filled my ears and brain, making this even worse. The ride was very slow and soft, kinda boring in all honesty. But once I got a look at Mihashis face, it wasn't boring anymore.

His honey eyes were filled to the brim with delight. His soft slender hands gripping the golden pole in front of him with excitement. His mouth was slightly parted with a smile, some melodic giggles being produced from it. His cheeks were tinted with a baby pink color, showing how flushed with happiness he was. He was absolutely beautiful.

At that, I relaxed, and decided to just try and enjoy myself too. Even if many people were staring at us.

The moment was ruined as Tajima came back into the picture, "Hey, we can take turns picking stuff to do!"

I nodded in response. "That sounds fair." I agreed. Mihashi was too absorbed in the ride to really pay attention to us.

After a few more minutes the ride came to a slow stop, all three of us hopping off and leaving the area as fast as we could. Well at least it was mostly me dragging the two others away. I was starting to feel like a babysitter.

"Alright, so I get to pick next!" Tajima said happily, nodding his head as he bounced around on his feet.

"Yeah!" Mihashi agreed, seeming pumped after the recent ride (if you could call it that) that we just went on.

Yeah, I was definitely their babysitter.

"So, I choose that one!" Tajima pointed over to the ride he was gesturing to earlier, currently we could hear screaming girls from it. Just great.

I glanced over at Mihashi, noticing how quickly his happiness had faded. My annoyance for Tajima resurfaced as I complained to him "Dude, don't make Mihashi go on it if he doesn't want to. We should do more relaxed stuff-"

"Relaxed?! You guys don't ever come to amusement parks do you? It's all about having fun!" Tajima grinned, grabbing my wrist and Mihashis, starting to drag us to the ride.

I began to open my mouth to complain once more, but another voice interrupted our group.

"Oh, hey guys."

I looked up, spotting a bald head and glasses. Oh, Hanai. It appeared as though he wasn't alone though.

Next to him stood the sheepish Mizutani. Along with them was two girls who I didn't recognize. One wrapped around Hanais arm, and the other holding Mizutanis hand.

Must be nice to be straight and show public affection without getting murderous looks.

I greeted them with a nod, replying, "What's up? We were about to head to that ride over there-"

"I don't wanna go anymore."

The solemn words left the freckled boy beside me as he released my wrist and Mihashis. He was staring down at his feet.....seeming angry?

"Oh?" I was a little surprised. It seemed like Tajima really wanted to go on this ride?

"Hey Taj." Hanai greeted him casually, looking curious too. The woman glued to his arm asked "Who're they?" At which Hanai explained we were from the baseball team and such.

I was beginning to think of having to be social and ask for them to join us, but Tajima stopped me before I could.

"I feel sick to my stomach. I-I'm gonna go barf." Tajima did indeed look pale as he turned, running off as quick as he could to the men's bathroom.

What the hell was wrong with him?
