"i'm always on your mind"

Emori got into the backseat, fez driving off as they interrogated her on what happened.

She looked out the window, not bothering to make conversation.

"So where exactly is this...date—"

"Not a date" they both corrected, not bothering to look at him

"A'ight a'ight. damn" fez didn't bother to ask for an answer in fear of being attacked like that again

The drive was quiet, mainly because ash and emori were sending each other funny videos through the phone. Ash probably didn't want to talk much so fez wouldn't embarrass him about some shit.

They finally arrived at their destination. emori looked across the road to see an abundance of food trucks, and to her surprise, a brightly lighted ferris wheel.

Only then, could she see ashtray's fit, which included a grey polo shirt and adidas track suit, paired with the dunk low retro's in black and white, and don't forget the cool ass puffer jacket. Looking super british yk
Right before emori was about to compliment his outfit—

"—A'ight, let's go" ashtray pulled emori by the hand and started walking, not saying a thing, his warm hand grabbed her wrist tightly as they maneuvered their way through the crowds

"I'm not fucking telepathic, ash. where are we going?" she sighed as she had to keep up with his fast gangsta walk

"Hold that motherfuckin thought" He ordered, occupied on searching for a specific food truck out of the many identical looking ones

Emori chose not to protest against it, that was like talking to a brick wall. They abruptly stopped running, now standing in line for what looked like—

"—Hotdogs? you brought me all this way here so we could eat...hot dogs?" Emori asked ash, catching her breath while she fixed her hair from the wind swaying it in all directions

"Nah— not just any lame ass hot dogs. The flavours here, oh my god" He did the chef kiss, "to die for, lemme tell ya" he smirked as they walked forward in the line

Emori smiled and chuckled at how passionate he was about this place. she let him take control of the ordering of the hotdogs, it was only appropriate.
She tried to keep a straight face but kept furrowing her eyebrows from the contents that he ordered for his hotdog.

[loyalty - rihanna and kendrick lamar]

"All I want tonight is just get higher (high, high, high)

Girl, you look so good, it's to die for (die for)"

They waited for a few minutes, vibing to the trap music that played, before the lady gave ash two take out boxes, with a warm smile on her face.

"Drinks?" the lady got out two glass bottles of coca-cola.

"All we got is us

Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty"

Emori looked to ash, making sure he was okay with it since he was paying, he nodded

"...Sure, thanks" emori awkward said, taking the two bottles and following ash's lead to one of the benches.

"A better way to make a wave, stop defendin' them"

No, the bench he chose wasn't nearby, but right by the furthest corner of the field.

"I'm always on your mind"

"Whew...tell me why...you've decided to walk all the way...to this bench, out of all of these benches that would've been more convenient"

"Well— it has the best view without loud ass bitches ruining the vibe and shit" he reasoned

"For real?" she asked as she sat on the bench, seeing that he was only interested in eating his hotdog.

Emori laughed to herself at how ready he was to devour the hotdog, folding up her sleeves

[tell em - cochise and $not playing in the far distance]

She opened the polystyrene box, to see a juicy hotdog drenched in sauces of all kinds, surrounded by hot french fries

"Who you foolin'? (Who you foolin'?)

What we doin'? (What we doin'?)"

"Looks good" she mentioned, looking up at ash

"Hey, you gonna eat the fucking food or not?" ash blurted out, pausing his feast

"Damn, you don't gotta rush me! shit, i can't even see where to start" She giggled, before lifting the end of the hotdog, then proceeded to take a huge ass bite out of the meal

"Tell 'em, what's up (tell 'em, what's up)"

"Damn" ash whispered, "So, how is it?"

Emori shushed him, waiting to finish about two big bites out of the hot dog

"Tell 'em it's on (tell 'em it's on)"

"...You're fucking amazing" she took about five french fries and stuffed them in her mouth "i mean, why didn't you bring me here earlier?" her voice was muffled from her full mouth

Ash chuckled "You...haven't been around much" he admitted, dropping his food and looking up at her, his smile fading away.

Emori looked down for a moment, before looking back up and gracing ash with a small grin, her eyebrows raising in concern

"I tell my shawty we lit (lit)"

"I'm really sorry about that. we had to go back to london for some shit...dealing with shit court cases and cops by the doorstep literally every fucking day...isnt all fun and games"

"Making all this money on my boss shit (yeah)"

"Dealing drugs ain't easy, but here i am" he tried to relate

"That's...incomparable and irrelevant" she rolled her eyes, smiling

"What? the cops wanna be involved in both right?" he joked, reasoning with her

"Meet me outside, tryna mosh pit (bitch)"

"Youre not good at this. plus, you probably would've been busy dealing the whole time" she chucked, taking a sip from her glass bottle

"Mmm that ain't true. i'm here now, like i said" he gestured at himself

Emori broke a warm smile, rubbing her shoulder from the cold breeze

"Look, i'm just saying...i missed your dumbass" ash said, before stuffing his mouth with more food to distract her from his blushing

Her eyes rolled as she let out a chuckle, before taking a another huge gulp out of her coke bottle

"I...missed you too" she mockingly admitted, trying to stop herself from smiling, stuffing her mouth with fries so she could stop blushing

"There it is" he said under his breath

"Yeah, they can't fuck with me, the choppa hit your block (fuck)"

Silence followed as they made googly eyes at each other while they enjoyed their food.

"—Say...we get slushies. my treat" she suggested, eating the last fry in the box

"You for real?" ash asked as he took her empty box, putting it in his box

"Yeah, come on" her contagious smile convinced ash, so he stood up. He threw the boxes in the bin, right before emori pulled him by the hand

"And then we can go on the ferris wheel" she pushed, taking his hand and skipping to the slushie food truck

"Hell the fuck nah" he protested. emori's hair graciously bounced as she looked back at him

"Cmon, it'll be fun!" she passive aggressively insisted.

The two waited in line for the ferris wheel impatiently, sipping on their raspberry and blueberry flavored slushies.

Emori shivered as she rubbed her arms and blew out air, looking out at the view of the dead night.

"Take this" all of a sudden, emori felt warm fuzz against her skin

"Thanks" she put on ash's puffer jacket with its perfect warm temperature

"I know your dumbass didn't think to bring a jacket" ash shook his head as he sipped his slushie

"My outfit was cute enough, and it was downstairs" she admitted, putting her arms through the sleeves, his scent flooding all over her. "Looks better on me" she teased

Ash did the tongue thing as he covered his mouth.
they waited in silence, waiting for their turn to ride the ferris wheel

"...Truth or dare" ash asked emori, putting his hands on his tracksuit pockets

"...Dare" she cheekily smirked

"I dare you...to put this...in your slushie" he took out a hip flask and secured it in her hand

"Ooh...what's in it?" she immediately opened that flask, smelling the content

"You're seriously asking me that question? what do want me to say— cough syrup— it's fucking vodka" he whispered loudly

"You're fucking crazy...run it up" she poured nearly have of it into her slushie

"Save some for me, damn 'mori" he grabbed the flask to stop her from pouring in the drink

"Shhh don't be so fucking loud" she stirred it with her straw

It was finally their turn to ride the ferris wheel, and now they were a bit...tipsy

There was a man in work uniform, that gestured that they walk forward to one of the passenger cabins.

Emori kept bumping into the sides of the entrance, completely missing the spacing.

"You're such a lightweight" ash whispered as they both giggled, ignoring the grumpy parents that murmured against them in the queue

Ash grabbed emori's hand and pulled her into the passenger cabin, fed up with her inability to aim.
"Everyones fucking looking, what if they know" emori whispered to him as she giggled

"Yeah? Well you're making it pretty fucking obvious" he watched as she stared out at the view of the moon "sit down before you fucking fall off the ride"

"Okay damn" she dropped down on the metal seating, bumping into ash as she did so

The cabin slightly shook as they increased in height.
As they continued to increase in altitude, the view of the million house lights of the city, that still didn't manage to outshine the stars in the pitch black sky. It was beautiful, so much so that both were quiet and in awe of the view.

The music, the peoples voices, everything started to gradually fade away as they went further up in the sky. It was as if it was just the two of them.

They watched as the city lights flickered and brightened, ignoring the workers arguing with each other. The wheel had stopped, but to their advantage, it stopped while their cabin was at the peak. how romantic.

Ashtray's heart rate went through the roof when he felt the warmth of emori's touch lean on him, he did the same, trying to stay cool.

"I say...let's stay up here. like, forever" she said, under her breath, feeling ash nod slowly, right before they both dozed off on each other...
