​

Nick didn't really think a baseball would get Ruka so excited, but was Nick wrong. Ruka just seemed to be an excitable kid because when he saw the baseball Ruka didn't hesitate to take it out of Nick's hand like a flash of lightning striking the ground. Nick smirked a little bit as Ruka then put the ball back in Nick's hand and apologized for taking it. "You're good, no need to apologize. I don't think I've ever seen someone so excited about a baseball." Nick laughed as he remeberd back to the time that his dad had shown him a soccer ball for the first time. Nick was the same way as Ruka was with that baseball. Nick couldn't get enough of that mini soccer ball when he was four years old and soon enough he would start playing the sport he fell in love with.

Nick snapped out of his daze as Ruka spoke again this time asking him what he wanted to do. Nick looked around the pier, looked at all the fun rides and games. As he was getting ready to speak Asher walked up and started playing the other claw machine. He didn't win anything either and when he saw that Nick won soemthing he didn't hold back. Nick knew he joking so he laughed a bit. "You just have to have the skills that I do, then you'll win something next time." Nick chuckled a little bit and playfully winked at Asher, which ended up making Nick's cheeks a deep shade of red that he hoped no one noticed.

Nick then turned to look at the other two boys who were now going to be joining them. Nick hadn't officially met them yet but he knew there names were Casper and Aaron. Nick figured he should introduce himself to the two of them. Nick looked over in their direction and nodded at them, "Hey guys i'm Nick its nice to meet you, you're Casper and Aaron right?" Nick put on a friendly smile at them.

Ruka Ishihara
Ruka snickered, "Well now you have!"

The blond looked over to Asher, he hadn't even noticed the other. He waited for a reply from Nick before Asher jumped in, notifying the two about Casper and Aaron that they would be joining them. The boy was surprised, to say the least. What did exactly did Asher say to Aaron of all people that would change his whole outlook..? He glanced at his friend, Asher was more amazing than he thought.

Ruka waved at the two, and eventually dropped his hand. He decided he would be calling the shots for this pier trip, and proceeded to "answer" his own question, "When was the last time you all went on a ferris wheel?"

Felix at hearing Nate's voice sharply tuned his head to look at his friend, clearly caught off-guard hearing him try and speak again though the words got through well enough. Felix just stared smiling with his trembling green eyes locking onto his friends. His fear and guilt from before was written onto Felix face, but he was clearly happy that Nate seemed to agree 'no running'. This still all felt incredibly wrong, like he was making a mistake but at the same time Felix did like Nate! He might not have the courage or the words to explain it but he did.
So he reached out with his casted hand and gently wiped the tears from Nate's cheek. "I really do wanna be your best friend! If your' okay with that..? ..I'm really sorry about... you know before, on the steps.. I got scared but not of you.." He said softly his heart racing, pounding like a drum.

He didn't know what else to say. He didn't know how to describe it. He didn't want this to be complicated. Felix just knew he wanted Nate around at his side right now.
Felix nudged his head towards the arcade. "You can even pick the next game if you want?" A quick attempt to break the tension, giving a playful smile. He desperately wanted to avoid creating a big scene out here with the two. He really didn't want people staring.

Nathan squeezed Felix's hand as he stood from the bench ready to head inside. This time though instead of pulling him along he waited for Felix to stand before calmly walking into the arcade hand in hand with Felix. He surveyed the room trying to decide what game they should play. As the two young boys stood for a few minutes Nathan could feel a few looks being shot their way but he didn't care nothing would ruin this moment for him. Eventually Nathan figured out what game to play. Calmly leading Felix over to a racing game. Putting some quarters into the pair of machines Nathan let go of Felix's hand sitting down on at one of the machines and began selecting his car.

Nathan was confident playing this game racing games were pretty much the only thing he was good at in an arcade. He was determined to win. The race began Nathan drifted through the corners passing cars having a few near perfect laps. He looked over to Felix to make sure he was having fun before refocusing on the race at hand.

Felix followed Nathan's lead back inside curious to see where he'd take him and they together weaved past the crowd. The looks did bother Felix, they had him worried but he just tried to enjoy himself for the moment, he didn't want to lose this. His face was still bright red at this point, though it'd become easier to breath. As the racing game game into view and Nathan started putting coins in Felix grinned as he slipped himself into the seat thinking this looked like fun.

What because rather obvious rather quickly however was that Felix, really hadn't played anything like this before. He loved the idea of racing games but in reality the only ones he'd ever played were stuff like Mario Cart where powerups could give him a handicap. He looked confused just seeing all the vehicle options and the stats on screen and had to look to Nate a few times asking basic yes and no questions to his friend to figure out if stuff was good or not.
Once the game got going things didn't improve either. As Nate ahead drifted seamlessly around the corner, Felix pretty much immediately skidded off track from driving too fast and careened into the wall. Oversteering, understeering, colliding with other racers when he was actually caught up, honestly watching Felix he was a disaster solidly in last place on the track. Felix was enjoying himself! The boy was in the zone as much as Nate, focused and even biting his lip a little determined to come at minimum, not in last place! This target was not one he was going to achieve, he was going to be lucky if Nate didn't lap him.

If this had been one of the big arcade bike racers where you physically had to lean into your corners as you went, there's a chance Felix might have done well with that, but in your normal 25c booth racing game with a steering wheel and pedals. No chance!

If Nate did look like he was going to lap Felix, he'd go out of his way to try and crash into him trying to drive them both off the road. Not in any attempt to win just for the chaos of it, likely not having seen any other driver in ages at that point and just wanting to feel like he achieved something. That something if he succeeded possibly costing Nate 1st place, but it was something! And to be honest with the skill gap, he might not even be able to get Nate off the track.

As the race was coming to an end Nathan could see Felix up ahead. Looking over to him Nathan could see the determination in his face. He was trying so hard and Nathan didn't want to ruin that he slowed down far enough behind Felix that he wouldn't be able to notice making sure he didn't lap him. Nathan crossed the finish line in 1st getting up from his chair to watch Felix finish his final lap. Quietly cheering him on as he went.

As the race concluded with Felix in last place Nathan couldn't help himself as he wrapped Felix in a tight hug. Both in joy of his Victory and in comfort of Felix's loss. As Nathan broke from the hug he pulled out his phone opening the camera one arm still wrapped around Felix he shot a quick selfie of the two of them. As Nathan had the stupidest smile on his face tongue sticking out eyes wide open. Then opening the Notes app typing a quick message. " What now " He looked to Felix for his response smile on his face one arm still wrapped draped over Felix's shoulder.

Felix despite coming in last place didn't really seem to care that much. Sure he was a little bummed it was like last, last place but he never expected to do well. Nate's response did catch him off guard though as he leapt over for a hug, giving a happy laugh back and giving pat onto his friend s back. "You were amazing Nate. How'd you keep ahead of them, I couldn't even catch up? Everyone just kept getting further and further away." Genuinely astounded by his skill, the tables turned perhaps from the videos of Felix when they first met.
Felix had no idea what he was doing, didn't understand all the mechanics, nor did he have any experience at it.

As the camera came out for the selfie Felix put on a playfully over the top pouting look, clearly not upset but trying to make it look like he did. He then looked down at the note being typed on the phone. Felix paused for a moment excusing himself from the racing chair so that others could sit down. He looked around trying to decide what to play next. Normally when he came here he was just into the really hands-on-stuff like the air hockey table, the awkward basketball hoops, wackamole, the dance pads, ect; not that he didn't find the video games fun just Felix got quickly restless and he hated sitting still for to long.

After scanning the room, he decided to set off Nate in hand across the arcade floor, giving a toothy grin to his friend as they approached towards one of those big 'shocker chairs'. Felix knew Nate would be terrified of it, his hand holding his tighter as they approached not letting him ran away. Felix had been on one before and found peoples fear of them pretty funny. He checked Nate's expression as they got close, before diverting and completely walking past the attraction.
Felix had actually been taking Nate to one of those zombie shooting games just besides it instead and placing his hand on the red plastic rifle and letting Nate go to the blue one while having this mischievous grin on his face at the feint he just pulled. "You up to help the detective take down some zombies?" He didn't actually flip the star-glasses back on but he did tilt his yellow fedora as part of his joke. He thought this game would be a nice in-between since it was just a video game still but, you got to hold something and actually aim which made it like 10x cooler.

As Felix began leading him towards the shocker chair Nathan indeed began to get scared. Trying his best not to show it but a few sings definitely gave it away lake his hand getting sweaty and his eyes nervously darting between Felix and the chair. Nathan was more than relieved when Felix suddenly altered their course towards the zombie shooter game. Nathan didn't have a ton of experience with these games as he spent most of his time at arcades racing but he remembered he liked them and at least wasn't complete rubbish at them.

Nathan shook his head with a large smile on his face at Felix's dorky action. Picking up the other gun he looked to Felix and gave a stern nod trying to act overly serious for absolutely no reason. As the game began to took Nathan a few moments to get used to the game causing Felix to carry the team through basically the whole first stage. But then Nathan got in his grove. Him and Felix became zombie hunting pros clearing several stages before even coming close to death. The game continued for a while until a zombie unexpectedly jumped out from behind a desk killing Nathan before he could react. Nathan let out a small scream as the zombie startled him before quickly inserting more coins for an extra life. Then the two young boys were back in business.

Casper hummed in excitement, clapping once more before hurrying through throwing away his trash with Aaron then came over to the boys at the claw machine, doing his best to look cool around the older kids- Which mostly meant giving a reticent Aaron several backward glances, eager for emotional support that was assuredly not given.

He came up right behind Asher as he finished speaking, hesitant to announce himself. Thankfully, it turned out he shouldn't have even worried about it because Nick immediately took the initiative. As Aaron looked at the claw machine, not a word spoken in return to the other boy, Casper nodded, offering a hand as he beamed to the other boy. "Mhm! Casper's me and that-" He pointed to Aaron- "is Aaron. He's not happy so he probably won't say much or like anything but I'm really happy we're all going to hang out together!" He turned to Asher gratefully. "Thank you for inviting us..."

Aaron huffed as Ruka spoke, but Casper whipped around to the boy, eyes sparkling. "Oh! We should go on the one here! It'll be so much fun and we can look at the ocean and the city and..." He died off. There wasn't much else to look at so he nodded instead, mind made up and determination firmly in place as he looked around the group... only for it to immediately crack under second thoughts. "I mean... If you guys want to..."

Again he looked at Aaron, but Aaron was still playing at cold distance from the group and was too busy acting like he wasn't listening to look at his brother.

​

Nick shook Casper's hand as the younger boy happily introduced himself and his older brother. Aaron didn't seem to want anything to do with any of them or with the pier at all. Nick could understand that, after his parents died Nick was the same way for a while, honestly there are still times when he gets like that, but he's trying to move past that as much as possible. Nick smiled as Casper seemed to be really excited to hang out with them. "Yeah were happy you guys are with us too, I just moved into this house like an hour ago so its nice to be able to meet all of you guys and hang out like this." Nick then turned his attention to Ruka who had asked about a ferris wheel.

Nick looked over at the ferris wheel and stared at it for a second. Nick hadn't been on a ferris wheel in a long time and the reason for that was, well Nick wasn't a fan of heights that much. He could do it, but he would always get a little nervous on ferris wheels or roller coasters that were high up. Nick looked back over at Ruka with a little bit of nervousness in his voice. "Oh, um yeah I haven't been on a ferris wheel in a long time, we can um go on it if you guys all want to." Nick did his best to keep his nerves as calm as possible. He didn't want to look weak in front of these new kids. At Nick's last foster home if any of the kids showed any weakness they would instantly be targeted by some of the older kids in the home. Nick had shown weakness when he first arrived at that first home. He was still devastated by the death of parents so he cried a lot those first few weeks. Some of the older boys saw that and picked on Nick for a while because of that, eventually the 14 year old stood up for himself but still he didn't want to be put in that position again.

Nick then looked over at Asher. "Well, um what do you think? You want to go on the ferris wheel to?"

Felix was by no means an expert at these games either, though he certainly had enough skill or at least the raw reaction times needed to indeed help carry the pair through the first few levels. His aim wasn't necessarily the best though making his successes a sort of burst-fire in a general area of the screen more than sharpshooting. As Nate started to get the hang of it through the pair started making great progress, Felix having taken the left side of the screen for himself, letting Nate take the right.
Screen after screen, level after level quickly getting cleared until Nate suddenly got leapt upon. Felix looking to him after the scream with a look of concern but quickly saw he was fine. Though moments later Nate was already putting more coins into the machine. "Good to keep going?" He asked rhetorically as the boy's got back into culling the undead horde.

Each level was progressively getting harder and harder, but the boy's were doing well until the ran across one particular boss monster, a huge undead hydra. A monster that required precision sharpshooting and speed to have any chance of defeating and that Felix had never beaten before on any previous run of this game. Even with both boys doing their best to take it down the monster lunges out quickly wounding and defeating both our hero's and eliminating all their extra lives. this monster still half it's life bar remaining as the 'GAME OVER, Continue?' screen appears asking for more coins if the two.

Felix frustratedly placed the rifle back on its stand, knowing if they did continue they'd need soo many extra lives that it probably wasn't worth it. He looked to Nate giving a long sigh and then just gave a weak smile. "That guys just mean. He kicked my butt the last time I played this too." Ensuring to explain this wasn't Nate's fault. "It was fun having someone watch my back for once." He commented before looking back and seeing some other's eyeing the machine and making motions for the pair to move over to the side so other's could have a go.
"Sooo your pick, what's next?" He leaned back for a moment against the massive shocker chair they stood next to, and waited for Nate's reply. Felix was up for whatever, though he didn't have that much more change on him for games but he was honestly up for whatever he had in mind, it was as fun just hanging out as it was to play the actual games.
While he waited for a reply, he couldn't help but just stare a bit at his friend as he likely typed back. A slight blushed back on his face again as he thought to himself about Nate's response to the zombies earlier, the word cute coming to mind again.

Asher gave another small wave as Aaron and Casper approached. He waited as Nick introduced himself before turning to Asher. “Oh... I'm yeah Ferris wheel is fine if that's what you guys want to do.” asher replied looking over at the large attraction spinning Idly in place. Personally Asher found Ferris Wheels a little boring and didn't understand what all the hype was about but he didn't have a problem going on one.

“Well let's get going then who knows what the line will be like” Asher started making his way through the crowds towards the ride. Browsing the different shops as he walked making not of things he might want to come back for later as they approached the line to the Ferris Wheel. It was long but Asher has seen it much longer so he considered the size quite a blessing as he took his place in line.

Nathan moved out of the way as the other kids room their place in front of the game. Frustrated by their loss after getting so far Nathan decided he was ready for a break from all the games. He pulled out his phone “umm... Let's take a break from the games we could go on a ride or something... Maybe the Ferris wheel?... It's the... Least scary ride here. I get so nervous on anything else.” he started to show Felix his message before quickly taking back his phone and adding to the message “ but I mean we could do something else if you want” after letting Felix read the message he stepped over closer to Felix gingerly taking his hand into his own once again.

As the two boys made their way out of the arcade Nathan couldn’t help but have the biggest smile on his face just a couple hours ago Nathan was sat on the floor crying. Thinking he ruined his friendship with Felix and now the two happily walked down the pier hand in hand. Nathan wasn't really sure what this meant for the two of them but he knew he liked it. He was happy. Nathan pulled out his phone typing another quick message showing it to Felix as they walked. “ I like your outfit by the way... You look very...nice. Especially the shoes.”

Felix laughed as Nathan commented regarding his fear about the rides. "Sure, we can go on the Ferris Wheel if you want. I'm not much a fan of like rollercoasters and those like-train rides either!" He responded cheerfully while nervously rubbing the back of his neck at just the thought. He didn't mind the Ferris Wheel it had great views and seeing as Nate had his camera with him he assumed he'd be taking some pictures. Unlike a lot of rides it didn't make him feel motion sick or anything like that, probably because it was a lot slower.

Taking Nate's hand as well he'd slowly make his way across the Pier though clearly not at any rush, taking time to browse as he went. From just other snacks he might want to grab later to other little shops that maybe he'd check out. He was still pretty self-conscious about holding Nate's hand and if he even caught a glimpse of the others he'd immediately and reactively let go. It'd be a few minutes though before they got to the Ferris Wheel and accidentally bumped into others. So for the time being with only people he didn't know watching he was enjoying it, and it seemed like Nate liked it too so it was a win-win!

Felix gave a sheepish and happy grin at the compliment from Nate. It was a bit of a satisfying rush to have his effort earlier acknowledged, normally he just cared if he thought he looked cool, but some reason he really felt compelled to make sure Nate thought he looked cool today as well. "Haha, thanks!" He looked himself over again. "To be honest their a bit old but I thought it'd go well with this?" He raised his doodled-on casted-arm slightly giving a playful look to Nate before peering down. "Aren't the laces cool!? I bought a bunch of 'em a while back and these sneakers are like super comfy, so I added 'em." He childishly enthused, Felix being a sucker for glow-in-the-dark anything to be honest.

"Your shirt's pretty cool too." He decided to return the compliment, looking at the the stylish multi-hued tropical (or at least beach themed) shirt and the printed t-shirt. "They kinda smell nice as well?" He added not really sure what he was smelling but it was kinda nice. Felix had no reason to think what he was smelling was cologne.

As Felix gave him his compliment Nathan smiled at the boy signing thank you as he mouthed it. At mention of the smell Nathan pulled out his phone “ oh yeah that's cologne my dads actually. Mom always said a man should wear cologne everyday... So I do.” he smiled showing his phone before his head darted off in another direction. Where a man was making fantastic cotton candy shapes as he twirled the stick in the air. Nathan diverted their course towards the cotton candy guy his eyes filled with joy. The man saw Nathan and Felix approaching and as if he knew Nathan just began signing. The two had a short conversation before the man went to work making some cotton candy for the boys.

The man finishes quickly handing Nathan two Ridiculously large cotton candy hearts. One in purple and one in yellow. Nathan handed them over to Felix letting go of his hand before pulling out his wallet and paying for the treat giving the man a $15 tip Nathan put his wallet back grabbing the purple heart from Felix before continuing to make his way to the Ferris wheel. Eating as he walked. Nathan quickly stopped pulling out his camera to take a shot of Felix with the giant heart thinking it looked funny how big it was compared to the boys head. Nathan and Felix continued walking hand in hand with their cotton candy until they reached the Ferris wheel.

As they approached Nathan could see the others in line up ahead. He hugged Felix pointing to the group. Only to be surprised by Felix quickly retracting his hand. Nathan was...well stunned it had been fine until now why did he pull his hand away now? Nathan was puzzled and a bit sad by what had happened but he took a deep breath trying to act like nothing happened as they continued heading towards the line securing a spot on the wheel.

Felix gave a curious look at Nate as he explains about his Mom and cologne. He didn't really comment on it, but it felt off to him. Felix wasn't sure if it was something that he should be doing..? But all he ever did was occasionally spray or roll on some deodorant, cologne was something his own Dad would wear when he and Mom were getting ready for a date or something. It's not like Felix minded it smelt good but now he couldn't help but wonder if he was the odd one for not wearing it..?

Then Nate dragged him over towards the cotton-candy stall, and watched him start signing away having a conversation that Felix could not at all understand. None of the gestures made any sense to him, he barely even caught the one earlier when Nate was mouthing thank you. Then suddenly with a large tip handed over his eyes grew wide seeing two massive cotton candy hearts return. There was a glitter in his eyes for a moment as he looked over the massive things as he pulled Nate briefly into a hug. Before going ahead and starting to nimble onto the cotton candy the best he could, not having expected to eat more than his head in the stuff.

Then they got close to the queue and the other group was pointed out. Felix turned white as a ghost for a moment, then suddenly very red again. His recoiled hand quickly and awkwardly going as if to scratch an itch to just play it off though Nate would be able to tell his body language had suddenly changed a lot. Felix began practically devouring the candy heart in a desperate attempt to shape it, just so it didn't look as heart shaped when the others saw him. By the time the pair secured a spot in line near to the sweet was now just a generic round shape, though Felix's mouth was filled completely with unswallowed sugary candy. He did reach to take out his phone however and with the hand that was previously holding Nate's he began typing a text to Nathan to apologise.
"Rly sry... can we not lk, hold hands or stuff in front of them? pls. explain l8r?" He gave a very worried look to Nate once he'd read the message, clearly embarrassed and clearly worried about something. Immediately covering it up with a forced-happy expression as he looked ahead in line again, still trying to digest all the candy he'd gobbled up.

Ruka Ishihara
Ruka grinned, before taking his spot beside Asher. He looked over to the other, and snapped his eyes back to the people in front of them. They were going on the ferris wheel! Ruka couldn't wait! His eyes drifted over to Nick, he did suddenly take over the whole trip.. he felt bad almost.
Ruka huffed, did everyone actually want to go on this? He proceeded to shake his head of the thoughts, he never wanted to seem controlling.

As the line shrunk, the group was getting closer and closer to the wheel. Ruka felt another smile on his face, he loved heights, he loved the thrill of it all. As he looked back, he saw.. Nate and Felix? Ah, they were paired together. He quickly excused himself from his spot in the line, "Ash, save my spot will ya?" He said before walking over to the two.

"Nate! Felix! You two having fun?" His gaze dropped to the cotton candy in their hands, "Oh my, Felix, was it that good?" He asked, clearly talking about the shape of the sweet treat.

At seeing how Felix reacted and his whole mood changing Nathan knew something was wrong. He could tell Felix felt bad but something was making him act this way. Maybe something from his past? Nathan thought. Even knowing this though Nathans mood clearly changed he was certainly still sad about the situation but now he was also worried.

Nathan read Felix’s message nodding to him with a small frown on his face. Trying to shakeit off Nathan took another large bite from his cotton candy not wanting to make Felix feel worse than he already diad he smiled after swallowing. Putting himself back in his usualhappy mood. Even if it wasn't completely authentic.

Seeing Ruka approach he gave a larger smile and a wave to the older boy. Nodding and holding up his candy to the inquiry about them having fun. He then chuckled a bit looking over to Felix as he attempted to get through the large amount of sugar in his mouth. The line was quickly getting shorter Bathan saw it was time for Ruka to get on so he pointed over to Asher who was trying to get Ruka’s attention. Shortly after Nathan and Felix we're at the from of the line ready to get on the same round as the other group.

Nick walked over to the ferris wheel with the other boys from the house. The day was beautiful the sun was out and it was warm. Nick was happy to have the warm sun and warm air hit his skin which needed some tan and to his his golden locks, who knows maybe they would become more golden by the sun. Nick tried not to think about the height they were going to be going up too on the ferris wheel. Honestly Nick figured he'd be alright, yeah he wasn't the biggest fan of heights but its not like it was a roller coaster where they were going extremely fast.

Nick then took out his phone and started scrolling through instagram as they waited in line, as he was scrolling he saw the profile of Jordan his teammate on the soccer team and the ex of Asher. Nick looked over at Asher and just stared for a second as he thought to himself, how could anyone break up with that kid? Nick blushed and probably kept his eyes on Asher for a little bit too long and maybe kept his phone open to Jordan's page for just a little bit too long as they boys waited for their turn on the ferris wheel.

As the group waited to get on the Ferris wheel Asher saw Felix and Nathan approaching a small smile appeared on his face as it seemed the two were at least getting along. "Yeah okay Ru." Asher responded as Ruka headed over to the two younger boys. As he waited in line Asher could feel Nick's eyes basically glued to him. Looking over he saw Jordan's Instagram open on his phone. Asher rolled his eyes and shook his head briefly before turning to Nick. Asher thinking that Nick was checking Jordan out and maybe being interested in his ex stared to get a little annoyed.

"You know I can tell your staring... He cheated on me you know... so I would be carful around him clearly he has no sense of honor." Asher said his disgust for Jordan only barely peeking through in his voice but it was there. " But hey he's a great player so I'm sure you guys will have a great year." His mood perked up a bit as the attendant for the Ferris wheel called for the next group Asher turned to se they were in front of the line. Asher turned to Ruka further back in the line. " Hey Ru... Our go come on" he said waiving his hand to get the boys attention. As Ruka returned Asher ushered Nick and Ruka onto the same car before quickly shutting the door behind them. " sorry I'm gonna ride with them... But you two have fun." Asher said pointing back at Aaron and Casper before stepping back to let the cars cycle to the next open seats. Then inviting Aaron and Casper to join him as he got on.

It definitely hurt to see Nate's expression fade but Felix didn't see any other way here. Still just seeing him look upset made Felix want to pull him in and give him a hug. But for now he just have to hope he'd understand, or well not understand but still be okay with it. He just bought this stuff from the shop, and the candy floss; it all just made Felix feel guilty for saying no to him.

Seeing Ruka approach Felix gave a quick wave with his free hand. "Mmmnn hmmm. Vwe-ry wun." Felix gave in confirmatory response with a strong nod and exaggerated grin, unable to really vocalise properly as he'd clearly bit off more cotton candy than he could comfortably chew. He was trying to hide it though which just caused him to have this just plainly funny, look on his face with his cheeks wide like a squirrel with nuts in its cheek. He did decide to give a thumbs up though, unsure if his message was understood!

As Asher came over, he gave another awkward wave before he and Ruku disappeared off forwards. Felix looked to Nate and with his one hand tried to copy what gesture he thought he'd remembered Nate giving earlier for "thank you" - Felix barely caught it before so... his attempt was likely pretty bad maybe even unrecognisable. While he waited in line for everyone to move up ahead, Felix tried to digest the cotton candy, wanting to finish this mouthful properly so he could go back to eating it properly, and like talking properly.

Ruka Ishihara
Ruka was about to continue his conversation with the two before Asher called for him. The boy turned towards the source of the voice, "Yeah yeah I'll be there in a sec!" He said, giving the two a wave. Before the other left, he quickly said, "I hope you two aren't scared of heights~"

Ruka snickered as he waved his goodbyes once more, and took his spot by Asher. "Ash! Are ya-" He was cut off by the boy pushing him and Nick into the same cart. He was about to say something else when Asher mentioned that he would be riding with.. Casper and Aaron?

Ruka simply nodded, as if he understood the gravity of the situation. After Asher broke apart from the two boys, he sighed.. and buckled himself in. He then turned to Nick, his arm resting on the cart.

"So, looks like it's just you an' me Nick!" He grinned.

Nick Kuznetsov
​

Nick's eyes widened and his mouth opened a little bit as Asher started telling Nick about Jordan. The thing was Nick wasn't checking Jordan out. He just couldn't believe that Jordan had cheated on Asher. "Asher I....." Before he could say anything else Asher walked away to go grab Ruka. Nick put his head down for a moment, he just made a fool of himself and that was definitely not what he was trying to do. The whole scene looked way worse than it was, Nick wanted to explain that to Asher and he would whe he came back.

As soon as Asher walked over with Ruka though Asher shoved Ruka and Nick into a a cart for the ferris wheel and said he was going to ride with Casper and Aaron. "Wait but Asher I didn't..." But just like that the ferris wheel started to move. The ferris wheel sudden movement caught Nick off guard and off balance, he fell right into Ruka's lap. Nick embarrased got up and sat down in his own seat. "Ruka, um sorry about that. I didn't um expect the ferris wheel to start moving like that." A deep shade of red hit the teens cheeks as he looked down at the ground. The boy didn't really want to look out as their car started to go higher and higher. Nick started to clutch onto the die a little tighter.

Nathan was barely able to decode what Felix was doing with his hands thinking for a moment re realized the boy was trying to sign “thank you” he smiled at Felix shaking his head before showing him the sign again making sure he was watching this time.

Then it was their turn to get on the Ferris wheel Nathan motioned for Felix to get on first before getting on himself sitting in the spot across from Felix giving a warm smile as the ride began to move he pulled out his camera and started taking pictures trying to distract himself from what was on his mind. Nathan wanted so badly to ask about Felix’s behavior but seeing as the boy was clearly upset about it he didn't want to make things worse

Felix watched as Nate tried to give him the correct signing for thank you, looking a little confused. It took him a few back-and-fourth attempts before he got it right, though he looked pretty proud of himself once he got confirmation of getting it right.

He gave one final 'thank you' sign before hopping himself onto the Ferris Wheel, and sliding himself onto one of the seats. Felix looked across to Nate as he pulled out his camera and smiled, deciding to let him take pictures. He bought the camera and all, should let him use it. Felix took for the moment to look outside himself, trying to see if he could spot the foster home from here, and if he could figure out where his new school would be though he honestly had no idea where to start looking on that part.
Felix was a little bummed Nate decided to sit on the opposite side of him but.. He'd also just asked for not being affectionate so he guessed he got what he asked.

After a short bit of looking and waiting for Nate to be distracted he pulled out his phone and decided to take a picture of Nate, as he took pictures outside intentionally turning the flash on so he'd notice. Once Nate turned to look he just showed his phone and the picture taken. "Thought I'd take a picture of my own." he commented sticking out his tongue. "Never saw a pirate photographers before!" had added jokingly referring to Nate's novelty hat.
Felix had almost completely relaxed now the risk of the others wouldn't be overseeing or overhearing what was going on had passed, at least for the moment. He clearly didn't want to discuss what had just happened bellow but he also clearly wasn't upset with Nate either.
