your boy takes you on a date (at night!) to the town carnival (hc)
༉
teddy boysjohn
• has his arm around you the whole time
• he's got his thick leather jacket on, hair slicked back. you can see the little sweat beads just trickling down his dark sideburns under the heat of all of the bright lights.
• leans against everything while he talks to you.
• and he won't stop staring
• he can't help but smirk as you giggle and giddily twist around for him.
• you pulling him to every attraction and him trudging behind like a dead weight.
• calls the "high striker" game stupid, but he's really just nervous that he can't hit the marker very high and you won't think he's a strong man ;(
• "do it for me, john?" you plead, your are eyes so, so bright. he swears they're full of the stars
• and boy does he do it! he takes the heavy mallet in his hands and swings that baby straight down onto the weight with all of his might. it dings his triumph back at him when he makes it all the way to the top
• he laughs in the cardboard strongman's face rather obnoxiously before taking you under his arm again as you both search for another game to play.
• (he won't let you see it, but his shoulder really hurts now)
• making out in the car before he drives you back home, his hands on your thighs as you finger through his greased hair
• it's SUPER humid in there
• you call him strong as your hands squeeze along his biceps
• he has to fight the urge to rip your clothes off right then and there.paul
• it's your first date!
• it's about the fourth time he's asked you if you wanted a cigarette in the span of thirty minutes even though you told him you didn't smoke
• he's just real nervous, so he keeps forgetting
• you're worried he might devour the whole pack before the night is through.
• doesn't know how to ask you if he can hold your hand
• eventually, after you two found a bench to rest your feet, you lean your head against his shoulder and he takes the opportunity to slip his hand against yours, settling for hooking your index fingers together
• his leg is bouncing like crazy, but he eases up with time.
• he names every song that the live band plays without missing a beat
• "do you wanna go watch them up close, paul?"
• "i think i just wanna look at you... if that's alright."
• takes him at least five tries to win you a teddy bear
• but when he finally does, you squeal with delight and throw your arms around his neck, planting a wet kiss against his cheek
• the lipstick smudge mixes perfectly with the crimson that tumbles onto his face
• you promise that you'll sleep with the teddy bear every night and you don't let go of it for the rest of the date, not even when he offers to hold it for you.
• falling asleep in the grass while you're cradled in his arms during the late night fireworks
• him whispering to you that he had a good time and secretly, but not so secretly, hoping he gets to see you again real soon.george
• you guys kiss a lOt
• he'll steal a few pecks on your cheek and you'll turn your head and cup his face and just spoil him with more on his lips.
• sharing cotton candy and sodas
• he'd twirl the pink sugar around his finger and pop it in your mouth, watching as you blush like mad.
• hugging you from behind as you two wait to get on the ferris wheel, his chin on your shoulder, smiling at you.
• constantly checking the time to make sure he doesn't miss your curfew.
• wrapping your arms around him whenever other girls stare at him a little too long
• he kisses you on the head every time (he's oblivious as to why you're hugging him so much, but he doesn't complain)
• blowing both of your allowances for the whole night on food
• you've probably been to the concessions stand more than anybody that's ever been to a carnival ever
• "how much change do you have left?"
• "eh... enough for another popcorn."
• he gives you his jacket when you get chilly
• holding hands when it's time to head back home
• you keep looking back as you walk, watching the bright lights slowly dim into a lonely spark behind you.ringo
• wins you a teddy bear the first try
• (he didn't exactly hit all of the cups, but the operator was too terrified of him to tell him no)
• kissing in the photo booth
• of course, when you actually do take the pictures they come out super cute!
• lets you sit on his lap while you eat your snacks.
• competing against him in ring tossing and winning every time
• you offer him your teddy bear when he walks away sulking about it
• "i can think of a better way to make it up to me..."
• fucking against a tree far away from the fair grounds (sorry not sorry)
• you make him ride the ferris wheel about ten times
• he almost gets sick the last time, so you finally ease up.
• giving you one of his rings at the end of the night
• it keeps falling off your finger, so you opt to get a chain to hook it onto.
• staying in the car for as long as possible, so you don't have to go home
• hugging so tight when he walks you to your door.
• not realizing until later that night that you left your teddy bear by the tree at the fair :(‧✧̣̇‧
