[ the line shouldn't take too long now! they should be able to ride in the next, huzzah! ]
They're only weird because you're not a girl, Hiro, [ he says with a chortle. but tadashi gets what hiro means. and he does think that ami would like it, too, but it's just not his style. he at least thinks that ami would prefer tadashi being comfortable more than anything else. he would do the same for her. ]
And last year's festival wasn't exactly a carnival, you know. [ a beat. ] Though maybe you could build your own ride when you get home, and surprise everybody. Make it really exciting, and make sure a lot of kids would be happy.
[ ah... there's something else he wants to say, but he hesitates.
We already had this discussion, I'd look bad in a skirt. [But look, they're up for boarding! Hiro practically bounces his way up onto the loading area and crawls into the roller coaster car, waiting for Tadashi to follow him.]
I can't even think of the last time we really went to a carnival either. Theme parks, yeah, but...[Shrug! He's settling in and making himself comfy, and even if Tadashi doesn't say it he seems to be able to pick up on it.
Truth is, since their talk after prom Hiro's been hitting the books hard and trying to figure everything out while he can to make his goals and get his project to work. Tadashi has to come home. There's no way he's leaving him behind. But instead of thinking on his worries, he gives him a reassuring upturn of his lip. It barely counts as a smile, but he's trying.] I'll make sure it spins a lot just for you.
[The car pulls away from the loading area and their roller coaster car starts to head up a pretty steep incline. It's then that Hiro seems to remember something.] It's funny. My friend Athena told me that the first time she met me we rode a roller coaster together.
[ it's all fun and games until they realise they're riding a rollercoaster that looks like the human centipede. HOT. ]
Seatbelts on. [ seatbelts save lives. buckle up every time...! also safety first. and he straps his seatbelt to himself, as well. ] And I'll throw up on you if you do that.
[ gross. but it's really nice to just be hanging out with hiro like this. he's missed this. ]
You probably arrived at the amusement park before, then. Nothing weird about that.
Dude, not cool. Throw up on somebody else. [What a wonderfully belated realization. There's a slight shudder from Hiro as he really clues in but he's rolling his eyes and buckling up. Shouldn't they have checked that before they left? Oh well. They're both strapped in and it's easy to pretend everything's normal.]
You apparently bought all of the cotton candy in the park to give to me. We both arrived at the park. [He frowns then.] Thing is? Athena told me that the roller coaster had all kinds of blades and stuff on the tracks that would hurt us if we didn't duck. Makes this place almost look calm. [He leans over the side of the car to poke curiously near a head. Wait, why did it just make a muffled noise? What the fuck is this. He jumps, scooting closer to the center away from the outside of the car.]
A-anyway! That park should be safe now. We should go when this thing leaves.
[ he lets out a chortle as he prepares himself for the ride of his life. the carts move backwards at first and take them high up in the air. and while that's happening, tadashi makes time to talk. ]
[They've been on a ride like this before. He's actually relatively calm about being strung up to such a high height and he rolls his eyes instead.]
I think I have to get in line for that. And also ew. [...but since Tadashi brought it up, he sort of shrugs awkwardly.] I dunno...maybe like a bro date. We haven't really had a lot of time lately to just hang out and do stuff together. Cerealia's really...[Well. Cerealia's Cerealia.]
Get in line for— [ ah... ] You don't have to get in line for anything.
[ he'll shove everybody for you, hiro. everybody ]
A bro date sounds... fun. It literally sounds weird, but— [ and then the ride starts moving downwards at an incredibly high speed. better hold on!! ] FUUU— [ yeah, he's not finishing that. ]
You're the one who called it a date fi--[Yeah no he's not finishing that sentence because suddenly they're falling! And he's yelling! Well at least it's a delighted yell because speed is one of Hiro's favorite things currently so...WOOHOO!!!
Yeah they'll get back to that conversation in a second, this roller coaster ride takes precedence to that.]
[Nobody has a better appreciation for roller coasters than the Hamadas, apparently, especially when they're high-speed several loops and maybe sort of questionable roller coasters. Baymax is probably on the platform waiting for the pair of them but it seems like they're having fun so there's no issue here.
The ride comes to a slow after one more set of loops and down a slope. Hiro's hair is probably more of a mess than usual but he's practically vibrating in his seat.]
Lines suck...[But he follows along.] One more time and then let's get food. Okay? They've got a lot of weird stuff out here and I'm pretty sure most of it's edible at least. [The point here is that Hiro's spending as much time with Tadashi today as he can before the brothers split up. It doesn't matter what they're doing...they'll just do it together.]
Sounds good to me. [It's better to talk about Athena than about Ruby at least. He has a lot of good friends here but nobody can replace Tadashi. The rest of today is going to be awesome.]
You wanna talk about privacy? [Bro? He doesn't know about the tracking devices but he knows Tadashi's always capable of finding him somehow.] Relax. I didn't actually break into your bank account. I've got my own.
[Sure did :') Part of him regrets teasing him seeing how Tadashi reacted. Part of him realizes that even when they're goofing off and trying to make things the same things are changing. And it scares him. But instead of saying anything he just rolls his eyes and goes back to his look of indifference.]
If you're so worried about your privacy maybe we should just get a place with two rooms. [HIRO???]
[ he is a bit annoyed, but he decides to say nothing about that. instead, he keeps quiet and the only time he talks again is when they reach the stand and he buys some cotton candy for his brother. ]
