Summary: Kenya won't stop complaining about the flaws inherent with Ferris Wheels, until an intervention from Zaizen.

“I think they slowed it down again. This isn’t the speed these things are supposed to go, I’m pretty sure.” Kenya crossed his arms and re-crossed his legs for the third time since getting on the ride, fidgeting, rocking the small cabin.
Zaizen didn’t look up from typing out another blog post on his cellphone, but answered anyway in the bored tone of someone having to explain things to a 7 year-old... for the fifth time. “Ferris Wheels are supposed to be slow, Senpai. People have to be able to get on and off them while they’re moving.”
“I don’t see the point of a ride that isn’t thrilling,” Kenya returned with a pout.
The older boy had basically been complaining since Zaizen’d set eyes on the ride. Too slow, too long, too boring, waste of money, etc... But in the end, he’d given into his boyfriend’s whim, landing them in their current situation of the older boy whinging and Zaizen texting while their compartment continued its leisurely assent.
“Are we at the top yet? Ferris Wheels don’t usually take this long-”
“Senpai,” Zaizen broke in on the other’s tirade, “I didn’t complain this much when you dragged me on that new roller coaster. Twice.” Said roller coaster boasted the fastest loops, sharpest turns, and most sudden drops out of all the coasters in the Kansai region. It left Zaizen feeling marginally sick to his stomach. It also had about a 2 hour wait in line in order to ride it. That Kenya’d somehow been able to tolerate the tedious wait in those lines easier than an actual ride on the Ferris Wheel still confused the other boy.
”Yeah, but that’s because roller coasters are fun! This isn’t fun, it’s slow and bor-mmnph!!” Kenya’s protests were quickly smothered as Zaizen found the end of his patience. Pushing his advantage at having taken the older boy by surprise, Zaizen pressed himself a little closer, affixing his mouth just a bit more securely to that of his companion’s. The other boy’s mouth was still slightly open, but at an awkward angle for kissing, especially since he hadn’t responded. Zaizen fixed that with a swipe of his tongue, however, jump starting the frozen speed star into closing his lips around Zaizen’s tongue.
The younger boy pulled apart from his senpai with a soft inhalation, taking in with satisfaction Kenya’s wide eyes and blissfully silent mouth. He considered it a plan well-executed.
“I like Ferris Wheels, but whatever,” Zaizen finished, ignoring the other again in favour of his cell phone again.
“Actually,” Kenya was quick to amend, scooting closer to the other boy in an attempt to steal the attention currently being bestowed on the cellphone, “I think they might be my favourite now.” He was still staring a little starry-eyed at his otherwise occupied friend, inclining unconsciously back into Zaizen’s space, hoping for the other boy to look up again. Zaizen stifled a smile.
“I thought so.”
