"Jump off a cliff." She mumbled under her breath, keeping her gaze pointedly fixed on anything except him as her face flushed crimson again. She really needed to find a way to stop reacting to that stupid name, otherwise Colin was never going to stop. Now that was a terrifying thought. She walked three steps behind him, frowning at the ground and trying her best to get her blushing under control. She was 22-years-old, she really shouldn't be reacting like this anymore.
Still, while Colin was busy buying their turkey legs she pressed her hands against her face, as if that'd somehow help. At least her face wasn't as hot to the touch as it had been. That was a start, wasn't it? With a dejected sigh, she walked after Colin, stopping just in front of the bench he sat down on and glaring at the spot he indicated with his eyes. Excuse you, Colin, but she'd act like it was the end of the world as much as she wanted, thank you very much.
(If she knew about that second thought, though, about giving her back pieces of her childhood, she'd probably forgive him in an instant.)
(Keyword: probably.)
She remained standing for just another minute, before finally taking a seat on the bench, being sure to put plenty of space between her and Colin. Rest assured, she definitely wasn't happy with him in the slightest, but, well, food was her one true weakness. The corner of her mouth quirked ever so slightly. Okay, maybe she could forgive him, just a little. Just enough to take that turkey leg from him, because she really was hungry and it smelled so good-
Oh, never mind.
Instantly, she was back on her feet again, a frown marring the expression on her face. "That's it." She shot him a glare before stalking away from the bench, back towards the turkey leg stand. She bought herself her own turkey leg, then turned right back around and made her way back to where Colin was still sitting with his two turkey legs. She plopped back down on the seat next to him, flashed him a dangerous grin, then proceeded to bite triumphantly into her turkey leg.
Suck on that, Colin.

tagged: failtwin. time: May 6th, 11 a.m. speech: colin. notes: DIDNEY WORL No biting? No biting. Colin wondered whether it would have been too much for him to stick out his lower lip and attempt to look pitiful, but decided against it. He wasn't going to sink that low, not just yet. Instead he took another bite of his turkey leg. It was bigger than he'd remembered; it would be a struggle to finish this, but he wasn't too keen on the idea of wasting food so he was going to have to try his best to push through. And it was in the midst of this thought that his girlfriend suddenly leaped up from the chair, and marched towards the stand. His eyes widened, and he nearly dropped the leg of meat in shock.
"Oh, come on." Now she was being silly. It was just teasing, there was no reason to waste food just because of it. "I'm not going to be able to eat both turkey legs myself, you know that--" But it was too late. She was already paying at the counter, the lady behind the store staring at the two of them incredulously as she handed the turkey leg over to Julie. She probably thought that there was trouble in paradise, or something-- well, where things stood right now, that wouldn't be too far from the truth, though the underlying reasons were probably much more different from what she'd thought that they were. And now she was storming back towards him, turkey leg dripping with oil and juice and all the other good stuff that he didn't want to think about too much, flashing him a triumphant grin.
"Okay. So what's going to happen to this extra turkey leg that I'm going to be carrying around?" Colin raised a brow at her. He wasn't going to be able to eat it, for one. The first one was going to be an effort in itself. She was either going to have to eat both the one she'd just bought and the one he was holding, or this one was going to go to waste. Wait a minute-- ehh, never mind. The blonde smirked. Come to think of it, Julie was bound to get hungry at some later stage anyway, and if he carried the leg of meat around with him she'd get to it sometime. "Your turn to hold on," he muttered as he walked back up to the stand, handing the bewildered shopkeeper the extra leg of turkey he was holding.
"Can you please pack this one?" he asked. The woman gave him a sideways glance.
"Is everything okay, sir...?"
Colin laughed.
"It's totally fine. It's an... Inside joke." Only he was the one who mostly found it funny rather than her, but it was an inside joke nevertheless. The woman could just stare blankly as she took the turkey leg from him and put it in a plastic bag, handing it over. And now Colin returned to his seat, continuing to eat. Score one more for him: that was what she'd get for laughing at him on Space Mountain. And on Buzz Lightyear. And every single other time. This was why he was still dating her, though. Even though she was the one to mock him nine times out of ten, it was the one in ten times that made it totally worth it.
"Sorted. Best turkey leg I've ever had, Princess."
He fell into silence for a while as he continued to eat, managing to plough through most of the meat. Mm, this was good.
"Where to next? Your wish is my command." |

Yes, yes she did know that Colin wasn't going to be able to finish both turkey legs by himself. Which is exactly why she got up and bought herself her own turkey leg in the first place. Now Colin was either going to have to A.) throw out the extra turkey leg, which he was unlikely to do since it was a waste of food and money, or B.) walk around the park with the turkey leg for the rest of the day. She smiled quite cheerfully to herself as she bit into her turkey leg. Yum, delicious. And it tasted even better knowing Colin was stuck.
"I don't know, seems like quite the dilemma for you." Julie flashed him a sharkish grin, eyes glinting dangerously as she took another bite of her lunch. She had even mostly forgotten how pissed she was at him just moments before, and was actually talking to him again. It's a miracle! She watched as he got back up again, walking over to the stand once more and chatting with the lady behind the counter. Continuing to eat, Julie grinned as the woman glanced in her direction. Oh dear, she must think they were having a lovers' quarrel over turkey legs... eh, it was close enough to the truth to work.
He returned to his seat and resumed eating, neither saying anything for a moment. They were at Disney Land together eating turkey legs for lunch, after all, it didn't get much better than this. She turned to him, about to say something, but then he just had to say that again. Because he's a goddamn asshole, that's why. Julie nearly choked on her turkey, a blush immediately scorching her cheeks. She fixed him with a glare that could sink ships and burn bridges, as she said, voice cracking slightly, "Quit calling me that already, I get it!"
She ate the rest of her turkey leg in a huff of silence, pointedly ignoring Colin as she chewed away. Seriously, why was she going out with him? (To be fair though, she did get the upper hand on him almost all the time. She just wasn't used to getting knocked off her high horse, that's all!) Once she finally finished her leg, she turned to Colin and replied, expression deadpan, "We're going on the teacups." Because fuck you went unsaid between them, but Colin probably got the silent memo.
She demanded vengeance.
---
After spinning around in teacups, riding Thunder Mountain, and accidently forgetting Colin's picture somewhere and having to backtrack halfway across the park in order to find it, it was finally time to go home. They had spent the rest of the day trying to get the best of each other, with Julie forcing Colin on a few more roller coasters and Colin continuing to call her 'princess' long after lunch, but all in all Julie would chalk it up to a success. She placed her picture on the floor of the car and settled into her seat, a sleepy smile on her lips as she said, "You still suck, by the way."

tagged: failtwin. time: May 6th, 11 a.m. speech: colin. notes: DIDNEY WORL "Going on the teacups, huh?" Colin grinned. Okay, that ride always ended badly for him, just like roller coasters did. But it was still his favourite, though he had a feeling the tables would be turned on him soon. Never mind, Julie was going to be hungry again soon enough, and then he could give her the turkey leg and make some comment about being her sweet prince and at her beck and call. There was no better way to embarrass her than this, even if he was going to be dizzy as all hell after they were done with the teacups. Almost there, almost there.
____________________________________
The rest of the day had been filled with bickering and arguments, with snappy comebacks and moments to remember. She'd managed to leave his picture on the carriages of Thunder Mountain and he'd said that there was no point going back to get it, but she had insisted and dragged him all the way back there just so she could take it back. (The nice lady manning the ride had saved it specially for them. Colin didn't know whether he was grateful to her or not.) On the other hand, Julie had given in and eaten the turkey leg two hours later, which meant that he didn't need to lug it around for all that long: it was still hot due to being out in the warm California sun, and he'd had a little bit as well, just because. Yes, he'd nearly thrown up on the teacups, and no, he hadn't regretted it one bit.
It seemed like far too soon that it was late at night, and they stayed for the first half of the fireworks before sneaking out early to avoid the crowds. Colin got into the driver's seat of the car, knowing that letting Julie drive in the state that she was in would probably not have been a good idea. Granted, letting Julie drive was never really a good idea, but this would have been a worse time than ever to allow her to do so. He chuckled at her comment: it was tempting to make some sort of lewd statement but he figured it was unnecessary.
He really had been hanging out with her too much.
"Keep telling that to yourself," was what he ended up saying in place of the thoughts about sucking that had gone through his mind. He started the engine of the car, and soon they were off onto the highway, ready to make the one-hour car ride back home. He was probably going to pass out as soon as his head hit the pillow: okay, who was he kidding? That wasn't going to happen as soon as he got onto the Internet. "I could just throw you out of the car and leave you on the streets, you know." |

Ugh, a whole hour stuck in the car with Colin. It was fine when they were driving to Disney, but now that they were on their way home it was going to be a nightmare. Might as well fall asleep so she wouldn't have to put up with him. Which was exactly what she was doing, actually, with her body curled up and her head pressed into the niche between the door and her seat. Being small had it's advantages, and sleeping (somewhat) comfortably in the car was one of them.
"You can't do that, you'd never be able to afford the rent." She laughed, lifting her head enough to fix Colin with a raised brow. He liked to point out that fact whenever she threatened him, because sadly it was true. She knew it was all a joke though- maybe it was because she was tired and delirious from all the day's fun, but the only thing she could think about was that she never wanted this to end.
With a small smile, she curled back up again. She really was lucky. "Love you." She mumbled softly, just above a whisper, as she finally dozed off against the window.
