[ She looks surprised when he gets up, then shrinks a little when the loudspeaker goes off. Emerald... doesn't really like being noticed that much. Especially not called out. For all she is, she actually.. doesn't like getting in trouble at all. She quickly undoes the belt that's got her strapped to the lion and slips off, then runs for him and grabs his wrist, pulling him over to one of the ornate benches that are designed for tired parents to sit on while their kids ride on the animals. Once they're seated, she puts her hands together in an apologetic gesture toward the attendant and hopes that's the end of it. Please don't stop the ride because of them.............. ]
[ Akashi keeps his head low and inches close to her until the gap between them is no more. This is mortifying... he didn't mean to start a scene.......
This also happens to be the longest three minutes of his life. ]
[ Emerald thankfully doesn't stay mortified for quite as long. Mostly because there is hilarity in them hiding under her jacket on a children's ride. So about thirty seconds under the jacket, Emerald cracks a smile and sneaks a kiss to his cheek to try to comfort him. ]
[ He looks straight into Emerald's eyes after she kisses him like that. The realisation sets in that he really does love her. He's happy when he's with her and he's happy when she's happy. He would do anything for her.
He'll get into any kind of stupid situation and be fine with it as long as he's with her. ]
I love you, Emerald.
[ Akashi can't help but blurt it out again, even though they're on a children's ride and even though an annoying song is playing. ]
I know. You were willing to break the rules for me.
[ That's like the most romantic thing that he could possibly do, now that she's had a moment to recover from the mortification of being the center of getting busted. ]
I think this ride is made so parents can't hear their kids screaming more than couples, though.
Have you ever met a child? They scream all the time for no reason.
[ She shakes her head. ] Nevermind. I'm just saying it's loud. I like quiet better, like this.
[ Hiding under her jacket speaking quietly with Akashi because it acts almost as a bit of a sound barrier and she can only hear him.. it's probably weird, but she likes it. ]
[ When the ride comes to a halt, Akashi is first to get up. He pulls Emerald and rushes out so they can get out of there and everyone can forget about Akashi. ]
Okay, weirdo, but which ride would you enjoy being next to me on most?
[ He's so gross. Why does she love this... It's way less gross when it's him doing it than when people she doesn't love do it!! She doesn't know where the games area of the park is though so hopefully they'll just run into it. ]
[ Wasnt he talking about that on the way there? The line is heavily decorated and after the first few feet, it goes underground and all of the jungle items are glow-in-the-dark. It's kinda cool, and the only light they can see are the small lights in the floor so people can see their feet and the glow in the dark trees and mushrooms and a coiled up snake with a too-large, too-human smile. It's all very well designed to try to excite people... and has quite a walk to the actual ride, since they can get quite busy. It's not too bad right now, though. ]
It wouldn't be a proper roller coaster without one.
[ And it's good they don't have to wait that long! The roller coaster can fit a lot of people at the same time, so even though there's a relatively long line, it looks like they'd still be able to get in right away. ]

Akashi looks away, ashamed, but his hold on Emerald's hand tightens. ]

[ Gentle rides suck, they're all going to have loud music like this, she's sure. ]
no subject
[ They can ride it 50 times to make up for this sucky ride. ]
It's a bit of a walk though.
no subject
[ Sorry Akashi, she's not big on solid plans. She lowers the jacket finally since it seems like the ride is slowing down. ]

she ends up swinging their hands between them quietly as she follows him. ]
What's your favorite kind of ride?
no subject
[ He's gonna end up liking the bumper cars bc he wants everyone to have a hard time bc of him... ]
Why do you ask?
no subject
[ She pauses, then perks up. ]
I want to play a game and win you a prize, though. That's the only thing I want to do besides the log ride and a roller coaster.
[ She has simple needs. ]
no subject
[ His smile is so genuine though... please don't hit him, Emerald. ]
I wouldn't mind if we just went back than spent the day here.
But... I think I'd like that. Win me a prize.
[ Of course, it goes without saying: no cheating. ]

It's pretty tall.
[ This isn't the only roller coaster they have though. There's an even bigger one towards the other end of the park, but Akashi's unaware. ]

Do you want to sit in the front or at the back?
no subject
[ There are so many coasters that don't even have loops, Akashi!! Though Emerald doesn't really know, so she's just trusting him. ]
Which goes faster?
