Kansas State Fair, Hutchinson, KS, Thursday

[vanillajello]

It had taken several hours of driving to get to the State Fair from KCMO. But that just meant this date time had included a road trip! And since it was Kate's 22nd birthday, she was cool with a road trip.

And, apparently, visiting a cheesy state fair with a motel night to follow.

Sometimes she liked simple pleasures.

Like pointin at signs advertising attractions around the fairgrounds. "Oh my God! Toto, we really are in Kansas right now."

[ooc: This fair ended two weeks ago IRL but see if we care. NFB, for the boy, though can be open for texts or calls I s'pose.]

"Goat milking contest?" Bod asked, raising an eyebrow and looking over at her. "Is that really a thing that happens here? Really? How is that a contest?"

He had many questions.

[vanillajello]

"Celebrity goat milking contest," Kate pointed out, laughing. "I wonder who they actually got for that. Can't be actual celebrities."

[therewaslife]

"Well, they didn't call you or I," Bod pointed out with a snicker. "Maybe it's something we should watch when the time comes? We could cheer them on."

[vanillajello]

"God, I've totally ruined you."

Judging by the smiling, she did not actually think this was terrible.

"Ae you gonna buy me cotton candy for my birthday?"

[therewaslife]

"I don't know, should I?" Bod asked, smiling down at her. "Cotton candy is terrible for you. It'll rot your teeth."

His grin widened.

[vanillajello]

Kate laughed. "Like you care. It's my birthday!"

[therewaslife]

"I care!" Bod said, laughing. "I care about you more than anything so of course I care!"

[vanillajello]

"Yeah but about my teeth?" she retorted, reaching for his hand. "I don't think so. I barely care about my teeth."

He probably knew that. She'd been trying to convince him Twizzlers were a perfectly sensible breakfast food since they'd met.

[therewaslife]

"So, you don't mind if they fall out?" he teased, lacing his fingers with hers and swinging their hands. "People will stare."

[vanillajello]

"Nope."

Liar. She grinned, showing off some of those teeth in question.

"I could get fake teeth."

[therewaslife]

"You do realize that's quite expensive, right?" he asked her. "Are you willing to put forward a paycheck towards it?"

[vanillajello]

"Definitely." Still lying. But she nodded towards a booth selling fairground snacks. "So, chop chop. Buy me my teeth rotters, Bod."

[therewaslife]

"I think you need to say please," he returned with a laugh. "Then, perhaps I'll consider it."

[vanillajello]

Kate made her eyes big, and fluttered her eyelashes at him. She was so far from being above playing dirty that it wasn't even funny.

"Pleeeeeease?"

[therewaslife]

"You're terrible," Bod told her, giving her hand a squeeze. "Blue or pink?"

[vanillajello]

Kate snorted, and swung their hands a bit. She'd probably have to let go in a second, but not just yet. "Pink, no contest."

[therewaslife]

"All right," he told her, bringing her hand up and giving it a kiss. "I'll be right back with something that will most assuredly make your teeth fall out."

[vanillajello]

Kate snuck a kiss on his cheek before letting go of his hand.

"Thank you. Best boyfriend."

[therewaslife]

"Only boyfriend," he pointed out, snickering before ambling away to get her some cotton candy. He almost got her a blue one just to be contrary but went with pink eventually.

[vanillajello]

Kate busied herself by looking a some more posters for attractions while he was away.

Chainsaw artist? High voltage line safety demonstration?

Oooh, petting zoo! That was the one that had her looking a little excited.

[therewaslife]

Once the pink cotton candy was in his hand, he came back over to Kate and handed it to her with a smile.

"Cotton candy delivery," he told her, eyes finding the posters she'd been looking at. "High voltage safety demonstration?"

[vanillajello]

"It's wrong to think it would probably be more interesting if someone was electrocuted, right?" Kate checked as she took the cotton candy and atore off a piece. "That's wrong."

[therewaslife]

"Yes, that's wrong," he said, shaking his head. "We don't need ambulances and police cars ruining our time out and your birthday. It would ruin the mood."
