Adi just knew that Benny was thinking of that episode involving the kangaroo back in their final year. It was the reason he had chosen the stuffed creature. "You never know,'' was his reply and he tossed in a wink. As if he could ever be mean to Benny but teasing he would always do. Cue the snort. "Uh huh. Verrry innocent he is.'' All the sarcasm in that statement.

GOSH! He loved the man before him so much!

Benny wanted that kiss IN PUBLIC. Adi would seize that opportunity and so he planted a big one on the fiance's cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin. "You had better knock all the remaining cans down now, babe,'' he teased.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-13-2017, 09:22 PM

Indeed…one never knew. Adi could be an enigma if he wanted to be. Not that Benny minded it in the long run. Made life all sorts of interesting, even the hours and days he spent not being himself because of one of the hippogriff’s surprises. And then there was the snort from his other half in response to his claim of innocence. Yeah, he wasn’t really very innocent. At least not anymore.

Sure he wasn’t the quick to show signs of affection in public but Benny was good with a kiss on the cheek for luck. His eyes particly closing just for a moment enjoying the feel, reopening them with a smile and a nod at what Adi said. “I’m going to try my darnest…” the former Gryffindor mused. Third times the charm coupled with the luck of a good fiance should help him do it nicely. He retook his stance in front of the game and the metal cans still piled up all nice and neat waiting for him. Taking a deep breath he did his best to focus on the task at hand and wishing for it to work.

Come on…come on.

One…two…three…throw!

The ball left his hand in the toss and Benny watched where it went and where it hit. And all four cans were suddenly off the stand they had previously been stacked up on. The small smile on his face grew in surprise at the results.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-14-2017, 12:25 AM

Ehehe.

Adi could see that Benny thoroughly enjoyed that kiss. A kiss on the lips would be better but that was for later. There were kiddos around anyway. “Let’s see what you’ve got!’’ But he had no doubt that Benny could do this. How right he was! “See? I told you, babe! All because of my kiss.’’ Mhmm! “Pick your prize and let’s go do something else.’’

Sorry, Benny! But you knew what you were getting into when you decided to become his fiance

Now Adi was fully in childish mode. “Maybe a ride? Or another game.’’ Ugh! He couldn’t decide. Food would come later but not too late because all the aromas around were making him HUNGRY. He grabbed Benny’s hand again. “What next?’’

The dragon was always there to keep things together.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-14-2017, 09:52 PM

Benny quickly recovered from his surprise, turning to Adi as he was congratulated. All because of his kiss for sure. “There goes that head of yours again…” he teased with a soft chuckle in an attempt to turn the attention from himself. As for the prize he had apparently won, the dragon absently looked over the offerings and finally pointed to a stuffed bunny, accepting it from the man running the booth as it was handed over. So maybe Adi wasn’t the only one who could wax nostalgic in the form of stuffed animals that reminded them of each other and their escapades.

And then they were moving on which he was all for. They had each managed a win. Benny thought over their options as Adi took his hand once more, making him lightly brush his thumb over his in response to the hand holding. Hi there, other half. “Hmm…how about…a ride?” he offered, figuring to switch things up. Plenty of time for more games later if they so chose to do so. “You can pick which one,” the dragon allowed, “but nothing too overly crazy.” He was adventurous but he didn’t want to lose the food he hadn’t already eaten.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-15-2017, 02:09 AM

“Help! I’m being lifted off the ground,’’ Adi said in a fake panicky voice. And cue the him standing on tippy toes for extra effects. You know, him ‘rising’ off the ground

He flopped back down to normal on his feet, eyeing the bunny Benny had chosen. “Both animals you’ve been,’’ he observed. Mhmm! Those were times he would never ever forget. Maybe it was time soon to turn him into another creature…

“Sounds good!’’ Adi lightly squished the hand holding his. “Let’s go for… the Ferris wheel!” Yesh! This was perfect. And it wasn’t too crazy. Not like a roller coaster… which he DID want to go on at some point. “That’s good enough, right, babe?’’ He was pretty sure that it was so that’s why he was already leading the way. “We should get something to eat afterwards. I’m getting hungry.’’ Or hungrier, whichever worked. “And then we’ll repeat… game, ride, food.’’ Hehe. Adi could do this until they were super tired!

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-15-2017, 11:11 PM

Cue Benny’ look of faux surprise and concern as Adi pretended to ‘float’ up and away from him, his hands placed on either side of his face. “Oh no! Whatever will I do? Help!” he remarked in half-jest before shaking his head at the whole batch of antics. They really were a couple of kooks and his fiance was at fault. Yep. That was his story and he was sticking to it. “I seem to remember you making an awfully cute little bunny yourself…” he mused, pretending to have the stuffed rabbit hop up to Adi as he playfully wrinkled his nose all cutely. The bunny finally ‘kissing’ him on his nose.

At the squeeze, he couldn’t help but smile and light squeeze back. Okay, so he wouldn’t change anything about the two of them. Except the usual regret for not figuring out his feelings sooner. “Sounds good,” Benny said, agreeing to the Ferris wheel. Just enough fun and excitement. “Of course…I have to keep you well fed,” he added, following the suggestion of food to follow the ride. And then game, ride, food, the game allowing for the resting of food before the riding. He really didn’t want to feel sick for any reason.

It’s a real mood killer.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-16-2017, 08:54 PM

“You could always turn into a dragon and come after me,’’ Adi suggested. If that were to actually happen, what fun that would be! “I make a cute anything.’’ Cue the innocent smile. Nah, he was kidding. Benny made the cutest anything not him. See? There he was crinkling his nose and looking all adorable. And the bunny was hopping close to his face, eventually kissing him on the nose causing him to laugh. “Hi, bunny! I guess you and Kangaroo here are now a part of Benny’s stuffed toy collection.’’

Adi was still holding onto Benny’s hand as he carefully climbed onto the Ferris Wheel. He waited patiently for his fiance to follow, helping him to get settled in. “We’re going to have an awesome view when we get to the top!’’ He was looking forward to this! He snuggled close to Benny, bracing his shoulder against him. The Kangaroo rested on his lap.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-17-2017, 04:49 PM

“True…I’ll have to practice for next time,” Benny answered back. It did usually take Adi’s magic for the dragon transformation to happen as it wasn’t his animangus form. The shame of that for it was just as fitting as his doggy form. He tilted his head as if to better admire his fiance. “I suppose so,” he mused as he straightened his head, knowing he was cute anytime even if he preferred the term handsome. The dragon echoing the laugh in response to his playful bunny, having the stuffed creature nod its little head in response.

He knew…and the bunny through him.

As they reached the Ferris Wheel after some brief time online, Benny watched and waited as Adi climbed in first before following suit, allowing his help as he sat down in place. “Sure will…likely the whole fair at least,” he agreed with a nod. Oh to be up in the air despite not entirely on his own accord. He blushed ever so slightly as the hippogriff cuddled against him, yet relaxing as the floating chair began to move disconnecting them from the ground and crowds. Here he let himself return the favor, leaning his head against Adi’s.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-18-2017, 12:26 PM

Practice sounded good. To Adi this meant that he would have more opportunities to turn Benny into a dragon which happened to be a favourite pastime of his LOL. He watched his fiance lovingly for a moment or two. Gosh, he was extra adorable when he was playful. Could Adi just snog him right there and then? Probably and probably not. He’d just have to wait until they were alone.

“Yep. We’re going to be on top of the world!’’ A very exciting prospect. Adi glanced up at Benny to see him blushing which led him to chuckle. “I can straighten up if you want.’’ He got that Benny still was uncomfortable with public display of affections. He ignored the movement of the wheel as they moved upwards to allow others to get on.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-20-2017, 03:58 AM

Benny hadn’t even considered the fact that he had technically just given Adi permission to turn him into a dragon once more…or more often. Not that Adi every asked for or truly needed permission for any of his schemes. The hippogriff was just lucky he had grown to be more at ease with it. They wouldn’t still be best friends, boyfriends and now fiances planning on getting married if he hadn’t. Merlin knows others might have kicked Adi to the curb for turning them into assorted small creatures by poisoning their drinks.

Top of the world? Now there was an interesting thought. He turned his gaze to Adi as he commented about straightening up but he figured his own lean against his fiance was enough of an answer to the negative. No, he didn’t have to move up off of him. This dragon was fine with the contact, especially once they had a little more privacy as they started to move up. “Just no funny business,” he teased, eyeing his other half out of the corner of his gaze.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-21-2017, 12:25 AM

He had just been pulling your leg, Benny. Adi didn't really want to move away from you. But he WAS feeling a tad mischievous. Come on, when wasn't he? "Not even a kiss?'' Truth be told, he'd been holding onto wanting one for a bit now. "Not just a cheek one, either.'' Yep! He wanted one on the lips. Benny wouldn't bee too self conscious, right? They were almost to the top of the view, anyway.

And this only distracted Adi only a little since he was super eager to see the awesome view. Cue him looking momentarily away from under Benny's head. He could see a great deal into the distance already. Lights... there were loads of those all around the brightly lit place down below.

Not to mention it seemed to get colder as they climbed higher. Good thing he was all snuggled with his man.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-21-2017, 10:02 PM

Benny nearly chuckled at the tone Adi used for the question. He knew that tone. “Nope…” he remarked with a shake of the head, aware deep down Adi was likely ready to beg him for said kiss. "No kiss for you." But the dragon could be mischievous as well and was going to play hard to get. Not just roll over like the border collie he could make himself into and give his dear fiance a smooch just because he asked for one.

But he was going to watch the view as it changed from rising up beside the nearby tents and boothes to actually being over them. Oh what a view! All the things you could see, surrounded by lights both solid and twinkling. And Adi had noticed it as well, those chocolate eyes he often found himself lost in turned away from him to admire something besides him. Benny watched the scene below them himself for a few minutes before getting an idea to make this moment even better.

He slowly slipped a free hand to touch Adi’s cheek that was furthest away from him, cupping it lovingly. The he gently turned his beloved’s face back to him to give him a proper kiss on the lips.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-22-2017, 01:42 AM

Adi half expected Benny to give him the kiss since this was their anniversary and they were doing all the romantic and happy things couples did but the other half had expected him to resist. Why? Because his fiance liked having his fun too. He eyed Benny before staring out back at the scenery. “Fineee. You’re the one missing out.’’ Hehe. Adi wasn’t mad. Just still playing with the future hubby.

And though he was doing that, he refused to budge from his spot against Benny who happened to make quite a comfy pillow. Adi snuggled the kangaroo as well. He was very, very happy and content. He was still admiring the colourful lights and the tiny people below when he felt the warmth of Benny’s gloved hand on his cold cheek. He allowed his face to be turned only to be met by those lips he loved so much.

His own eyes closed as he returned the kiss.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-22-2017, 05:33 AM

Benny almost expected a playful pout to go with the eyeing and prolonged word. Nothing showing the former Hufflepuff was mad or anything, just trying to butter him up and break his resistance. Might have started to crack him if he cared to admit it. Not that Adi had to wait long for him to chose to initiate a kiss on his own volition.

He felt Adi move obediently with his guidance and their eyes met briefly as they faced each other. The two bound in lip-lock moments later, Benny following suite and closing his eyes as the kiss was returned. And why wouldn’t it have been? Even if the hippogriff had decided to pay him back for his resistance, the dragon highly doubted once the kiss had been initiated that his other half would protest. They were putty in each other’s palms…or paws…whatever the case may be at any given time.

The car jostled a little as the Ferris wheel decided to slowly start moving again, Benny's grip absently tightening around the bunny in his grasp. But even as he relaxed the sudden action he didn't let go of it nor Adi, keeping up the kiss for a little while longer. His attention was far from their return to the ground anyway at the moment. He had better things to be concerned with.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-23-2017, 12:37 AM

It was always worth it waiting on Benny and his fiance knew it very well. Sometimes Adi thought that this happened to be one of the things Benny was rather sure about. And he had every right to be. It was a passionate kiss and he hardly wanted to break it. But what was a guy to do when he was in need of breath? He opened his eyes and grinned at Benny when they had parted. “I knew you couldn’t resist,’’ he teased after some breaths.

That’s when he remembered where they were. “You know, we need pictures for souvenirs as well.’’ Adi had his phone with him which he fished out of one of his pockets before snuggling against Benny’s shoulder again. “A selfie with the fiance is in order, I think.’’ Oh yeaaah? How did his hair look? Adi checked it out on the phone. Mhmmm! PERFECT!

“Ready?’’

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-23-2017, 02:48 AM

Benny reluctantly let go of the kiss as Adi broke it, breathing heavy himself as he slowly opened his eyes to look back at him. Now maybe that had been a little intense of a kiss. “Well I’m a sucker for a pretty face,” he remarked with one of his rare smiles only given to Adi. His hand still on the badger’s skin lightly tracing the edge of his face.

Huh? Pictures?

The dragon’s attention moved to the sight to Adi’s cell phone out and about ready to take said pictures apparently. “If you say so,” Benny mused with a shrug of his free shoulder. Might as well, he supposed, something to go with the stuffed animals in each of their hands. Besides it put Adi back on his shoulder snuggling so he was cool with that. “As you wish,” he agreed, getting into his own position and trying to look alright beside him.

“Ready.”

FearlessLeader19 · 02-24-2017, 01:45 AM

Adi felt the light touches on his face and briefly closed his eyes enjoying them. “Riiight. It’s only my pretty face you’re a sucker for!’’ He opened his eyes, laughing a little. No one could ever make him believe that Benny had eyes for another. Nope, his Benny loved him alone!

Awesome!

Approval for pictures! Adi quickly ran his hand through his hair to make it look more of his style- not too neat, not too messy. Just right. “Alrightey! Say 'I love dragons!'’’ He grinned and hit the camera. A flash told him that the picture was taken which he was checking out a few seconds later. “Not bad. A certain dragon looks so handsome!’’ The kangaroo and bunny were in there too, having made sure he caught them.

“What do you think, Benny?’’

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-24-2017, 03:38 AM

Adi was clearly enjoying the touches to his face, Benny watching as his other half briefly closed his eyes. “Of course…” he said, smiling as the dark eyes were reopened to look at him. “Only one worth it.” The badger was pretty much stuck with the dragon following him along with like a love-sick pup. But then the ring on his left hand pretty much ensure him that Adi was fell and truly happy with that notion of things. He lowered his hand back to his lap as they both shifted to be in better position for the picture, the former Gryffindor nearly wanting to roll his eyes at the suggested saying.
Not that it wasn’t entirely true.

“I love dragons!”

A normal smile greeted the camera just before it flashed and took the picture. He looked over Adi’s shoulder to see the pick before going mildly bashful at the compliment. “As you say so,” Benny remarked, just barely giving into his fiance’s words. “It looks great.” Thankfully another sway of the car as it neared the the bottom of its circle was enough of a distraction to right himself. He just hoped his cheeks weren’t all red when it was opened and they were allowed to step out and back onto the waiting base. If the operator noticed anything, he didn’t react, stood by as Benny got down before turning to assist Adi off to return the favor of before.

“Sooo….food?” He questioned, feeling himself getting a bit hungry even. His hand absently entwining with Adi’s once they were back in the crowds.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-24-2017, 08:44 PM

Yes! Adi was only one worth Benny’s love. Too bad for all the exes. Ehem. His eyes moved to the ring he had put on Benny’s hand last August. It looked perfect, as though it were made just for that spot. Well, it was even if it didn’t exactly stop guys and girls from flirting with the fiance

“YOU look better.’’ Adi was all about giving his man compliments because he always deserved it. The redness of the cheek did not go unnoticed which made him grin. He moved in to peck the said cheek before the got off the ride. When Benny showed signs of wanting to help, Adi bat his lashes. “My hero,’’ he said with a smirk. Then he laughed. He liked being a goofball.

“Yep, food sounds good, babe.’’ He held onto thank hand. “Then a few more rides and games. Then home?’’ Because Adi had plans for them there too. Mhmm.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-25-2017, 01:20 AM

Adi also seemed quite pleased with his comments. But then the fiance was always quite pleased with the reminders that he was his and his alone. The jealousy and insecurity might not be there anymore, or at least not as much in the case of the jealousy, but Benny was aware the hippogriff could be ever as prideful as the creature he was nicknamed after. Especially proud that he had won the guy. The dragon just wasn’t believing all the greatness that was being talked about himself.

“If you say so…” he reiterated, nearly flushing further at the kiss on his cheek. He caught himself in time to laugh at the batting of the eyelashes and the fawning over him as a hero helping him down from the wheel. “Such a silly one I have here,” he mused with a shake of his head. Merlin help him with what he’d have to deal with having children growing up with Adi’s comedic genes. In between the laughter with what they all came up with of course. And him the semi-willing audience member.

“Sounds like a good plan,” he agreed, quite aware that their lovely evening just didn’t end when they left the amusement park. The smells were stronger now as they moved towards the food, both sweet and savory and everything in between. "Where first?" Benny asked, knowing Adi's stomach could take a lot.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-25-2017, 05:45 PM

Adi grinned. “You love me more when I’m funny!’’ This was one of the reasons Benny feel for him, yes? At least, he would certainly say so. Annnnd his stomach was making small noises. Hungry! He was hungry! All the delicious food smells wafting around certainly didn’t help.

“Hot dogs!’’ was the guy’s immediate answer. “Then some chilli, maybe?’’ He was quite sure his nose picked up on chili. Adi led Benny over to the nearest hot dog stand. “Two for now, please,’’ he told the person in charge. But of course he was going for a second after he finished his first. He handed Benny one before biting into his own. “Any particular game you want to try next?’’

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-25-2017, 07:59 PM

Benny gave a look of denial in jest before shrugging his shoulders and relaxing the look. “It does add an appeal…” he mused in agreement. The funny, playful, happy-go-lucky spirit WAS Adi. His essence all wrapped up in one tall, dark and handsome person. So if he hadn’t liked it, they likely wouldn’t have survived as best friends for long much less a couple. Speaking of his other half, hearing the sounds coming from his stomach made the dragon chuckle in reply. “We best hurry now then.”

Hot dogs sounded good. And chili was yummy. Though both made him hope for a delay before any crazy rides. Benny waited as Adi placed their order and handing him his own. “Thank you,” he said, almost about to suggest getting the chili to put on the dogs when the hippogriff began eating. The hot dog likely to be finished by the time they got to the next booth. As for a game to try…

“Hmm…maybe the goldfish?" he offered as they walked. "Give Gus a new water friend.”

FearlessLeader19 · 02-27-2017, 12:07 AM

If Adi had an extremely big head, he’d be smirking as though he were really the coolest guy on the planet. But as it was, that wasn’t him so he was just grinning. “Enough appeal to trap a dragon.’’ And yes… FOOD. He needed it! Which was what he and Benny were chowing down on right now. “No problem, babe.’’ Adi finished his dogs and chilli in no time. “That should keep me full for now,’’ he said with a laugh. Was Benny all done eating too? Yep!

“Perfect!’’ He was pretty up for any game but preferred Benny suggesting one. “Let’s hope that Conrad doesn’t get too jealous.’’ Adi was kidding. Conrad wasn’t the jealous type, right?
....................

About twenty minutes later, Adi was carrying a goldfish in a see through bag, a grin on his face. “Games are fun,’’ he said randomly. Really, he was enjoying himself and hoped that Benny was too. The couple tried out more games, more rides and even more food for the next hour or so.

“Gosh! I’m getting tired now.’’ The guy was now carrying a huge Batman balloon that floated thanks to helium. “Ready to go home? Had a good time, by the way?’’ It was more important that Benny have fun.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-27-2017, 10:29 PM

Benny curiously watched Adi as if waiting to see his head was expanding do his feelings. The grinning coming from the hippogriff was quite enough of the effect even if Adi wasn’t often without a smile on his face. “Apparently so…” said dragon mused in agreement in between bites of his hot dog. Between that and the chili he and his stomach was quite satisfied an it seemed as if the hippogriff’s apparently was too. For the moment anyway, for now the key words in his fiance’s words. Maybe more food would need to be in order after some more games. But for now…

“Conrad?....nah!” he said with a chuckle. The owl was almost as chill as his toad buddy.

----------------------------

Well he hadn’t the greatest luck with the goldfish game he had suggested, his attempts tending to bounce too much and away from the bowls he had been aiming at. But Adi had been successful and Benny was just fine with that. He nodded at Adi’s comment as they moved onto the next game of their choosing to try their luck some more. At least once the former Gryffindor had struck gold, earning the balloon currently in his love’s possession. That had certainly been fun, enjoyable to watch Adi’s smile.

As for getting tired, Benny had to agree. One can only stand so much walking around, riding rides and just all-around having fun. “Great time,” he admitted, absently swinging their arms currently linked. “But definitely ready to go home.” Else he was going to be leaning on Adi in a little while longer.

FearlessLeader19 · 02-28-2017, 02:15 AM

You know what his favourite prize of all was tonight? His balloon. And not because it was a Batman one but because Benny had won it for him. He was going to keep it forever! Even after it deflated. Mhmm. Adi cast a glance up at Batman before looking at Benny, letting their hands swing. “I’m glad you did! Always want to keep you happy.’’ He leaned in to kiss his fiance softly on the lips. “I love you.’’ Yep, he loved Benny more than anyone else in the world!

“Alright. Let’s go.’’ Hopefully Benny wasn’t tooooo tired. Adi began leading the from the park. Home, here they came!
