While he and Lily went on dates as often as their schedules allowed, there was something particularly exciting about going out together to a public event. Most of the time their dates were lowkey, but there was a level of fun that came with going to a big event together. Carnivals had always been exciting to James anyways. He’d always been a thrill seeker and rides often gave him some type of rush, and on top of that, there were games. James had always been competitive, and he knew that Lily had that side too. Despite knowing that they were often rigged, he still got some level of enjoyment out of playing them, and he was happy to indulge in anything Lily wanted.
With one arm wrapped around her shoulders, James lent down to kiss her head before asking, “Alright then, rides, games, or food first, Red?” he asked fondly. James had already mentally planned on winning at least one of the cheesy stuffed animals, and it was with that thought in mind that caused him to voice his next thought, “I have a proposition for you. When we get around to playing games, I vote that we compete to see who can bring home the most of those cheesy stuffed animal prizes,” he started, a challenging smirk on his face, before he continued, “and then, we’ll give all of them to your kids at the pediatric unit.”
