I Love You Keith

Cornyval pt.3

James POV

Me and Keith walked out of the alley thing hand in hand. It was kinda sappy if you thought about it. We had walked into a dark alley holding hands, and were now walking out looking the exact same, but we were now boyfriends. This was the best day ever. "So what ride should we go on first?" I asked, eager to get started. I had seen plenty of cool rides on our way in, but I wanted to see what Keith thought of them. After all, he had been to this before, and remembered it. I hadn't been since I was like 4 or 5. He thought for a minute "We should look for new rides first. Those will be closer and hopefully have shorter lines." I nodded "Lead the way." I followed him through the fair, past numerous shops and food stands. When we finally got to the rides, the first thing I saw was one called "The Sizzler". "How about that one?" i asked, pointing towards the ride. Keith smiled "You like spinny rides?" I nodded "Then hell yeah. But first we need to buy some tickets." After we got our tickets, we got in line. It took about five minutes, in which we joked around and talked. When we finally got on the ride, we ran towards a booth. I immediately sat on the outer edge, and Keith sat next to me. Once the attendant strapped us in, I leaned over and whispered in Keith's ear "I'm willing to bet that you'll end up in my lap Kitten." he turned a light shade of pink then whispered back "Who says that I wouldn't like that?" I felt my face heat up a bit, and saw Keith smirking. "Shut up." he smiled at me. "Make me." I leaned forward "Okay. Fine. I will." At that exact moment, the ride started. Keith screamed in surprise, and I laughed. We spun round and round and round, laughing the whole time.  When we got off, Keith almost fell because his legs were so wobbly. I burst out laughing and he glared at me. "Someday that'll happen again and it'll be your fault." and I froze and stopped laughing. Holy shit. He  just said that. Out loud. In public. "I said that out loud didn't I?" he asked, and I nodded. He smiled "Well, I'm probably not wrong."

As we walked out of the ride, I was completely silent. Keith liked me that much?  He looked at me funny 'What's wrong Griff? Cat got your tongue?" I smirked "No. But I wish a certain Kitten did." His mouth clamped shut and he blushed. "Griff!" I laughed "You did it to me, it's only fair." "Meh" he said sticking his tongue out at me. We continued going on rides, each one fast and/or spinny. When we finally ran out of tickets, we decided that now would be a good time to find our parents and get something to eat. I called my dad to find out where they were "Hey Dad." "Hi James. You guys done with the rides?" "Yeah. Where are you guys?" "We're at the main stage in the back. By the food stands." "Okay, we're on our way." I hung up and turned towards Keith who was kicking the gravel. "Come on" I said, grabbing his hand. It felt so natural, his hand in mine. Like they were made to fit together. "They're at the stage where we met up earlier. We can get something to eat on the way." We walked side by side, in sync, silently. It was nice. "So.. what should we eat?" I asked him, since I had no memory of every eating any of this. He thought for a moment before answering "We should get foot long corndogs. They're really good, and pretty cheap for fair food." I nodded and he lead me towards them. Once we got to the front the guy smiled at us "Hi. What can I get you?"Keith answered "Two foot long corndogs, a large Coke, and.." he trailed off, looking at me "Another Coke." The guy nodded and went to get our food. When he came back he handed us our food "That'll be $15." I handed him the money and he smiled "You guys makes a nice couple." Keith turned light pink and I smiled "Thanks. Come on babe." Me and Keith walked away, close as possible. We couldn't hold hands because we had food and drinks in our hands. Keith looked at me "Uh, so, you're okay with being, open and all about us?" Oh shit. I hadn't even thought about that. "Well, uh yeah. I am. Are you?" I hadn't even thought about that. I was just going with what happened. Keith was still pink, and was eating his corndog. "Well, I am, just not with random people. Like, with Pidge and the others yeah, but not strangers." I nodded "Okay." We walked for a while in silence, eating our corndogs and sipping our drinks. "Slurp. Slurrrp. Slurrrrppp." I gave Keith the evil eye. He just smiled and continued slurping his drink. I finally had enough and stole his drink from him. "Hey! Give it back!" I just smiled and threw it in a nearby trashcan, along with my corndog stick. "Nope." I said, popping the P. Keith pouted. I smiled and put my arm around his shoulder "Come on Kitten, it was empty." He still didn't say anything, but leaned into me. I sighed "Look, you can have some of mine." He looked at me and smiled "Really?" I smiled and nodded "Of course. Besides, it's like 90% ice, so there's not a lot of soda in it." We continued walking towards the stage, arms around each other, occasionally taking sips of my ice with Coke. When we saw our parents, we broke apart and ran towards them. Shiro saw us first "So." he said with a smile "Did you guys do anything fun?" I felt my face heat up a bit, and I smile dat him "Wouldn't you like to know." His eyes hardened, and he stared at me. I rolled my eyes "Relax Shiro, nothing bad happened." "Yes it did." Keith piped in "You threw away my soda." "But it was empty! You were just slurping air!" "It still had some in it!" "No it didn't!" "Yes it did!" "Well it doesn't matter because I gave you some of mine." The adults were all quiet then my dad said "So, when's the wedding? And are you both going to wear tuxedos? Are the flowers going to be a beautiful violet?"  I felt my face burn "DAD!" I looked at Keith who was bright red and staring at the ground. Shiro and my dad were laughing their butts off, and my mom and Adam were just smiling and shaking their heads. I walked over to Keith and grabbed his hand. We walked away from our parents, who were still cracking up. We walked aimlessly, in silence. Keith had been silent the entire time "Kitten, are you okay?" He looked up at me, a blush and smile on his face "So...I have beautiful violet eyes?" I smiled and felt myself blush "Yeah. And they get a sparkle in their eyes when you're happy or excited, and they look like galaxies." by now we were both smiling. "Cool. So, since we're here..why don't we look around the shops?" I looked up to see that we were, indeed, in the shops. I shrugged "Why not?" We started walking around, glancing at the shops. "Oh, wait, there's one I want to show you." "Lead the way." He started leading me towards a jewelry stand? "I didn't know you liked jewelry." Keith shrugged "Not normally, unless its a ring or something. But this guy said that he'd have a bunch of rainbow rings when I was looking earlier." I was surprised. Keith didn't strike me as the jewelry type. Then again, he didn't strike me as strong, but he was practically dragging me towards the stand. There was a huge selection of jewelry, and a bunch of rainbow rings. It was like gay jewelry heaven. A few of them really stuck out.
