It was a few days after the Warrens rally and it seemed as good a time as any to drag Becca out for that date that she owed him. He hadn't taken no for an answer. So there they were outside of Chicago at a small little fair set up in one of the surrounding cities. Eric for his part was just dressed in a T shirt and jeans with a light Jacket thrown over. He'd nudge Becca with his elbow as he bought them both wrist bands.
Hanging out with your best friend is different when it's not just hanging out. With Eric's determination finally trumping her own, Rebecca joined him out for a night at the fair before winter would take it all away. Dressed in a gold top and her usual faux leather, she shrugs deeper into her coat as she waits for him to come back with the bands, holding up her left hand and wiggling her fingers at him. No jazz hands, though.
"You trust these fingers?" she teases. Of course, she's gloved, but that's not the point. She had no clue how any of this was supposed to go now, or what would come of it.
But sometimes you have to cut the wire, right? For better or worse.
And he'd go to put the bracelet on her. Taking care to not touch her however. He trusted her but he also wasn't going to just throw caution to the wind right off the bat.
"So let's see. We got rides for hours now. And I think we should start there and save the food and games for after the mother fucking rollercoaster!"
Fuck yeah carnival rides! He'd take her gloved hand and lead her to the closest line!
She smiles a little at that, remembering certain graveyard events as he puts the bracelet on her wrist. She lets him, holding very still as she does so, then goes off to whichever roller coaster is around first. There's the dreaded spinning cup thing that tilts into the air, drawing her attention as they wait in line.
"We're going on that one next," she decides. Especially if they're waiting to eat.
"Obviously." He was way ahead of her. First was the roller coaster for the dips. Then the spinner for the stomach churning. And then totally bumper cars. After that they could eat and play games. He had this shit down.
"Also your ass looks great today. Just thought you should know that."
She starts to respond to his quip when his next comment has Rebecca staring for a second before she shuts her mouth, a light flush already coloring her cheeks.
"Thanks." She nudges him with her elbow in hopes of recovery. Who knows when she'll get used to being hit on. "You look nice, yourself." She looks around the fair, taking in the scenery and the people not showing up in the middle of the day. Come evening, that would change, but at least the lines were shorter for now.
"Thanks for bringing me here. I haven't been to a fair in ages."
He'd wink. "It's okay to look." He'd say as he pushed his butt out for her to see with a laugh. If she didn't do anything then he'd bump her hip with his.
"Course. I thought you were the kind of girl that would like to go out somewhere where there were things to do. Rather than just sit around. At least for a first date."
She seems a bit too distracted to notice the booty display, gaze flicking over the crowd again in worry. Her focus returns to him as he laughs, snorting when she catches the display and gives him a playful bop on the arm.
"Gonna make people jealous at that rate. What am I supposed to tell Enya when they take you away from me?" For any reason, really.
"I'm pretty sure I'd have to come to your defense, actually," she muses as she taps her chin with one finger. "I don't think I could let them take you without a fight."
"Maybe. Do you need protecting?" She raises a brow at him and grins. "That or maybe a vengeful ghost to watch over you if anyone tries anything." Spooky fingers.
"But you're so shiny! It makes for a fun target - especially if you're poking your butt out for everyone to admire." She stops, realizing in horror what's coming out of her mouth a second too late. Goddammit.
