Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 22- Winners

Magnus was amused when they grabbed a taxi and headed out of the city, turning up outside an amusement park that looked a little deserted, like nobody was around. Magnus looked at Alec with a slightly confused frown.

"An abandoned amusement park? Kind of creepy, Alexander." Magnus chuckled as Alec paid for the cab.

"It's not abandoned. I rented the whole place for us. No people. No queuing. Just us to have time together and have fun without the addition of being with annoying people." Alec smiled.

"Shut up! You did not rent this place just for us!? How much did this cost you?!" Magnus gasped as he walked through the deserted turnstiles and entered the park, looking around.

"I'm not telling you that! But it was worth every cent to see that look on your face!" Alec smiled, pulling him close and kissing his cheek. "Come on, Baby. What are we going on first?"

"Oh... I don't know..." Magnus beamed, taking in the rides. "That one!"

Magnus pointed to the rollercoaster in the middle of the amusement park and Alec nodded. The rollercoaster was the biggest in the park and Magnus was excited to get on it. Taking Alec's hand, Magnus walked over to the man that was operating the ride and smiled.

"Hello, boys! Ready for the Medusa Chaser?" The man asked as he opened up the front of the ride. Magnus shook his head.

"No, at the back, please! It's so much better!" Magnus beamed as he headed for the back of the rollercoaster with Alec following quietly behind. The man unlocked the back and made sure they were strapped in properly.

"Okay, the countdown will start to let you know when you are about to go. The camera is after the third loop." The man smiled, leaving to go to the controls that would start the ride.

"You seem quiet. You okay?" Magnus asked, concerned that Alec hadn't said anything.

"I'm fine." He said, giving a small smile as he held onto the bars over the shoulders. Magnus noted Alec's white knuckles.

"Alexander... are you afraid of rollercoasters?" Magnus queried.

"What? No. Of course, not!" Alec scoffed as he started to blush. Magnus raised his eyebrows before hearing Alec sigh. "Fine... I'm not a huge fan of them. I thought you'd maybe want to do the smaller rides, that's all."

"Oh, you are so cute!" Magnus smiled, taking Alec's hand and bringing it to his lips. "If you want to get off, then you can. I don't mind but I am curious as to why you booked an amusement park if you don't like rollercoasters."

"I... I thought you would enjoy it and clearly I was right. I guess I thought it would be fun and we could go on the teacup ride and the Farris wheel. Not this one. This was the only one I was worried to go on." Alec admitted. "However, I'm going to do this... I'll be fine."

Magnus smiled, squeezing his hand. He went on to say something but the countdown started. "Three...two...one..." The voice boomed out before the ride shot off. Magnus felt Alec's death grip on his hand as they were pushed to the back of their seat and began the 115-metre climb to the peak.

"I'm right here, Baby," Magnus reassured Alec as the front of the ride reached the top. The front of the carriages flew down the other side before they had reached it themselves. Alec had mere seconds to prepare himself before they took off at over 120 miles per hour, down the drop. The first loops approached fast and Magnus screamed in delight as they flipped over. "Put your hands up and scream! It will make it more fun!!"

Alec swallowed and nodded, trusting Magnus as he let go of the handle and Magnus's hand. He lifted his arms in the air, just as they went up and over the next high climb. Alec shrieked as it dropped and screwed his eyes closed before peeking them open again, just as they were going over the next loop.
