[h1]Chris x Bao[/h1]
[hr]
Bao ignored all of what Chris had to say. She knew that he would be a gentleman and wouldn't want her to pay for anything. He was out of luck. As they reached the small line, Bao gave his hand a small friendly squeeze before letting go, the same hand sliding into the pocket of her jeans and grabbing out a bit of the money her mom had given to her earlier that day. [color=f6989d][i]"You sure you don't want anything?[/i][/color] she asked, looking towards him. 

Chris sighed, but smiled quickly after. He wasn't used to having things bought for him. Mainly because he'd never been with people willing to pay. Chris laughed a bit as he felt the squeeze, smirking as she let go. [color=#63D1F4]"I mean if you wanna paaaaay..."[/color], Chris said, trying not to laugh. He was so happy he had Bao to hang out with. Who knew what would happen if he was all alone during the fesitval?

[color=f6989d][i]"I do.[/i][/color] Bao said confidently as she handed the vendor the correct amount of money and grabbed a bag of popcorn off the rack. It wasn't much but it'd cover her grumbling stomach until she could go home and grab some real food. [color=f6989d][i]"Well you can have some of mine and if you see something you want, you let me know and I'll spoil you."[/i][/color] She stuck her tongue out, before placing a small handful of the buttery treat into her mouth. It wasn't very lady like but she was just having fun. She tilted the bag over to Chris, spilling a few of the kernals onto the ground below them. Her hips shifted gently as she balanced her self onto her back leg. Soon they would need to find a good spot to see the fireworks from. 

[color=#63D1F4]"I like popcorn. It's one of my favorite things to eat."[/color] Chris said, his voice soft. He looked at the bag and smiled as his stomach growled at him, begging for some popcorn. He listened as Bao spoke nodding in agreement to her offer to spoil him some more. He laughed as he saw her put a handful of popcorn into her mouth, finding it cute regardless of how unladylike it was. He then watched the kernals fall, stepping on a few of them like a child. Chris then took a small handful himself, using his other hand to eat the popcorn one by one. Chris watched as her hips moved, not really sure what she was doing. He smiled and then looked at the sky, noticing it was getting darker out.

[color=f6989d][i]"Where do you think we should sit?"[/i][/color] Bao asked, her dark eyes scanning over the crowd as they kind of congregated around certain areas to view the sky from. [color=f6989d][i]"I suppose anywhere will be a good view, besides maybe behind a building or tree."[/i][/color] she joked, as she jiggled the small bag of popcorn a bit to shake up the good and buttery pieces to the top. 

Chris shrugged, really having no idea. He looked around, looking for a nice and open spot to view the fireworks. He laughed at her remark and snorted laughing, causing him to gasp and laugh even harder. He then caught himself and attempted to speak. [color=#63D1F4]"Maybe on [i]top[/i] of a building or tree?"[/color] Chris suggested. He was holding in a laugh, still thinking about how odd his snort sounded when he laughed.

Bao raised her eyebrows when the snort escaped from Chris' mouth. God damn it was cute, but sounded hilarious. She covered her mouth as she laughed, trying not to spill out the popcorn she had just placed in her mouth. Swallowing, she responded- [color=f6989d][i]"Tree sounds good, let's try for that."[/i][/color] Letting him grab another handful if he'd like, Bao decided to start moving from infront of the popcorn vendor and towards one of the large and in bloom cherry blossom trees that flowered the festival grounds.

Chris looked at Bao again, nodding at her suggestion. Chris' heartbeat then got faster, realizing that he had never climbed a tree before. He wasn't too athletic and he could barely do ten push ups. He gulped and smiled nervously, not wanting to look like a fool when he climbed. Chris followed Bao, trying to figure out how he'd approach the tree. As they stood in front of a pretty nice tree, he took a deep breath and looked up the tree. He looked at Bao, awaiting her next move.

 Looking towards Chris, Bao noticed the nervous gaze he sometimes gave. She had seen it in his eyes a few times ever since knowing him. A soft smile crawled across her lips, [color=f6989d][i]"Hold my popcorn!"[/i][/color] she exclaimed, handing Chris the popcorn as she reached for the lowest branch she could reach and using her leg to push herself off the ground and upwards. Her many years of dance had given her fairly athletic build and strong legs. She turned back to him, before getting to high up.  [color=f6989d][i]"Think you can manage?"[/i][/color] she asked, in a teasing tone. She turned back to the tree, trying to find a spot for the two of them that could support their weight as well as give them a good view of the night sky.

Chris looked as Bao handed him the popcorn. He held it close, taking one last handful before wiping his hands on the back of his pants. He watched as Bao escalated the tree with some ease. He knew he was going to be put on the spot. This was a chance to impress her. He then laughed at her challenge. [color=#63D1F4]"I got this."[/color] he lied, although his voice was full of confidence. False confidence that is. Being pretty tall, Chris jumped up. He held a branch with his free arm. With the arm that had the popcorn, he put the popcorn bag in his mouth. He was careful not to spill the treat. Chris struggled to do a pull up and get up the first brance, but he did this rather easily. Chris took a bit longer than Bao, but eventually got up the tree. He then stood on a branch, one below Bao. He lost his footing and moved his foot. He made a slight noise of surprise as he felt his foot move off the branch. He tried to catch himself, but failed. He moved in a way that he fell onto the branch and straddled it. He obviously hurt a quite delicate area. He yelped in pain, the popcorn falling from his mouth. He reacted fast enough to grab the bag, thankfully.

Bao turned her head fast with her mouth agape when she heard Chris let out a noise that sounded in shock. It was only seconds after that, the accident happened. Watching wide eyed and mouth still open. Bao was speechless. However, she did yell,  [color=f6989d][i]"
THE POPCORN!"[/i][/color] as it slipped from Chris' mouth. With grace though, he caught it as he sat straddled and in pain on the branch below her.  [color=f6989d][i]"Oh Chris.."[/i][/color] she cooed, making her way back down as she tried not to crack up. She felt bad that he had gotten hurt, but she couldn't help but find the situation a bit comical.  [color=f6989d][i]"I hope you are okay, that sounded like it hu-"[/i][/color] she started before being interrupted by a large explosion behind them. The first firework shot into the sky starting the show.  [color=f6989d][i]"hurt"[/i][/color] she finished, before she turned her body so she sat in front of him straddled on the branch looking into the sky. Leaning her back against his chest, she let out a sigh. This definitely was a great day, and a good indication of how their school year was going to.
