Brandon laughed when she said that she was talking about Durmstrang. He'd been kind of sure that she was talking about Durmstrang, but wanted to make sure. He shrugged, "Sure, sure," he agreed casually, looking out across the landscape as they talked. He didn't know what to say after that, so decided to lapse into silence. If Adonia wanted to talk about something, he was sure she would make it happen.
Brandon narrowed his eyes in contemplation when she said it only counted if he wanted it to. Then he smiled at her. "I'm going to say it counts then," he said, mostly just to be a tease. Then she asked why he hadn't been and Brandon shrugged again. "No reason, really. I just ... guess I never really thought about it before or something like that." Brandon couldn't hep but wonder why she cared. Adonia was smiling joyously as she looked over the edge of the compartment and he just watched her curiously. What was she doing?

Brandon was over the conversation about Durmstrang, it seemed, so she didn't press it. He smiled at her, though, deciding that his kiss in question counted. Then he said he didn't really have a reason for not kissing people, just that he hadn't ever thought about it before. "Well, I'm impressed. Most teenagers think about it all the time," she said casually. Then she whipped her head to face him again. "So you don't have a lot of experience then?" she asked, her eyebrow raising. "I mean, do you even know when a girl wants you to kiss her?" her voice dropped a little in volume, and the ferris wheel stopped with them at the top. She leaned forward a little, breathing slowly, and her eyes looked down at his lips for a second before looking back up at his eyes through her eyelashes. "Do you have any idea," she started slowly, "what the signs are?"

Brandon didn't know what to say when Adonia said she was impressed that he didn't think about kissing. Apparently that wasn't quite normal, but that didn't change the fact that romance wasn't Brandon's focus in life. it was mostly his music. Sure, he noticed pretty girls and liked spending time with them sometimes, but it never went further than that. They just didn't seem interested. At least, he didn't think they did ... though he wasn't quite sure how to know. He smiled and rolled his eyes when she asked if he had a lot of experience. "Obviously not, since I've had one debatable kiss before." Which only made sense. Then she started asking if he knew how to tell if a girl wanted him to kiss them, leaning closer as she did so. What was she doing? Brandon felt a little nervous. He cleared his throat, surprised that she was talking about the thing he'd just been thinking of. "No, n-not really," he stammered uncharacteristically. She was so close, looking at his lips and then his eyes and Brandon felt his heart start to race. "No," he repeated, keeping his response at one word on purpose as he watched her.

He confirmed that he hadn't had much experience. He cleared his throat, and clearly he knew the signs, he just said no - stuttered no- because he was nervous. He said no again and she smiled softly. "Well, it kind of works like this," she said, her voice still soft. She scooted closer, sliding in the Ferris Wheel seat until her hip was against his. "They'll get closer, usually, and look at your lips, like I just did," she explained slowly. "If a girl wants you to kiss her, she'll make sure you look at hers too," she bit her lip a little, slowly releasing it before going on. "She'll play with her hair a little, or her clothes, anything to draw your eyes to her," she tucked her own hair behind her ear, leaning even closer still, "but she expects you to go the rest of the way," she explained. That was a cliche and wasn't always true, but it was working for her purposes now. "So kiss me," she finally whispered, her eyes locked on his, her expression a little bit of a pleading one.

Adonia was smiling, saying that "this" was how it worked. Oh boy. What did he get himself into? Her voice was soft as velvet and before he really knew what she was doing, she was sitting right beside him, her hip touching his. Brandon felt his heart start to race as he watched her silently, waiting. She started to speak, explaining her actions and telling him that girls expected him to look at their lips as well. Without thinking, he looked down as she bit her lip slowly and then he slowly leaned a little closer to her, not realizing he was doing it at all. He heard what she was saying, but the words weren't really registering anymore. She played with her hair and his eyes flickered to her hair before he looked back at her, his eyes caught with her own. Her last few words registered as she told him to kiss her. She was already so close and she was beautiful and Brandon found himself nodding slightly, "Okay," he muttered before lightly touching his lips to hers.

He was leaning in closer and she was sure it was involuntary. Oh, how easy this was. He still wasn't like other guys, which made this more fun and kind of nice. His eyes were going right where she was leading them with her movements. It was like a hypnosis act, and he was her puppet. Then he found her eyes as she stared intensely into his, and he said that one word. "Okay." His lips were touching her lightly and she sighed into the kiss, pressing her lips against his too. Softly, at first, like he was doing. Then she slowly grabbed his wrist and lifted his arm so it was around her shoulders. Her other hand gently found the front of his shirt, and her hand slowly started to grip the fabric there. She kissed him a little deeper, but didn't push him too far right way.
She smiled against his lips, letting out a little laugh, "that's very good," she encouraged, her words causing her lips to move against his. She tightened her grip on his shirt and kissed him again, this time pushing him a bit further.

Brandon didn't know what he was doing, but it didn't really seem to matter. Adonia's lips were against his and he was surprised by how much he enjoyed it. His other kiss ... hadn't been anything like this. No wonder people loved kissing. Then she grabbed his hand, moving it so it was around his shoulders and he held her more tightly than he perhaps meant to. He felt her gripping his shirt as their kiss became more intense. His free hand lifted of its own accord, smoothing her hair before trailing down her jaw and resting on her chin as they kissed.
She smiled, laughed and spoke and Brandon smiled back, still not speaking. He didn't know what he'd say anyway. Words didn't seem necessary right then. When her kiss deepened, he sighed, following her lead as he kissed her back.

She was surprised and pleased that he followed her lead with his arm and held onto her tightly. His other hand found her hair and then her jaw, which made her happily shudder a little. She could feel that he was smiling against her lips, too. He didn't have to say anything back, of course, and he didn't. He just kissed her with the same intensity she kissed him. She got a little more aggressive, but not enough to scare him away. She slid her hand up from his chest to his shoulder, moving her body even closer to his. That stupid bar in the way stopped her from getting as close as she wanted to, but that was probably good. He might no react well to being climbed on top of his first time really kissing someone. However, she didn't hold back from using her tongue and teeth against his lips a little as well.
Then, she tightened her grip on his shoulder even more and made a happy sound against his lips right as the ride jerked back into motion. She gasped, startled, pulling her lips from his a little and releasing his shoulder to grab onto the bar.

The entire situation felt somewhat surreal to Brandon. Sure, it was happening, but at the same time it didn't feel like it was. Or, maybe he just wasn't sure exactly what was happening. All he really knew was that he was kissing Adonia, far far more deeply than he'd ever really intended to. When her hand ran up to his shoulder, he released her chin, his hand moving to her waist as he pulled her just a little bit closer. The thought of pulling away didn't even occur to him. Not as she moved closer, kissed him harder, or even when she started using her tongue and teeth. He just kissed her, holding her close against him, his hand gripping her shoulder tightly.
She made some sort of sound and Brandon smiled again at the sound, gasping as well when suddenly the ride jerked. Adonia released him, and Brandon thought he let her go, but he didn't. His eyes were searching hers, his own surprised by what just passed between them but still he wasn't sure if he was quiet done yet ... "Adonia?" he whispered softly, having no idea what he was supposed to do now.

His hand had moved to her waist, and that's what caused her to make that happy sound right before the stupid ride jerked into motion. Once she realized what was happening she laughed nervously and leaned back a little, her back resting against his chest, his arm still around her waist. She took a deep breath to calm herself and then turned toward him and their eyes met. She searched his eyes, too, but mainly because he was searching hers.
She knew what he was thinking. That he couldn't believe this was reality, and that he didn't know exactly what to do next. Then he whispered her name, and that said it all right there. She let out a shuddering breath and then slowly smiled, but she didn't say anything right away. She just lifted a hand to gently stroke his bottom lip with her thumb as the ride looped around before it was finally their turn to get off.
She still had the power here, she knew that. The bar lifted and she slowly stood, sliding her hand off his mouth and into his hand to clasp onto it Her other hand took his other hand, too. "Come with me?" she invited softly, gently tugging on his hands to pull him off the ride.

She leaned against him for a while and Brandon finally felt his heart rate starting to relax a little. That was when he realized he was still holding onto Adonia. He thought for a second about pulling away, but she seemed so peaceful, and then they were looking into one another's eyes and he wasn't thinking about that anymore.
When he said her name she smiled, but she remained silent. Instead, she started playing with his lip. Brandon watched her curiously, not really sure what she was doing, but not fighting it either. What was the point? Kissing was a lot more intimate than this, and they'd just finished practically snogging one another. Or was it snogging? Maybe that was what normal kisses were like, he wasn't sure. His mind was a jumble and eventually Brandon opted not to think, closing his eyes and smiling. It felt ... nice.
The next thing he knew, the ferris wheel stopped again and he bar was lifting. Adonia took both of his hands in hers smoothly as she pulled him away from the ferris wheel, asking him to come with her. He followed her without even thinking, his feet moving of their own accord. Brandon found himself smiling at her as he nodded, "Of course," he answered in a similarly soft tone, his hands squeezing hers slightly. Why wouldn't he? He wondered what they were going to do next and his thoughts came out. "Where to next?"

"Of course," he said, and Adonia instantly regretted not having spent more time with Brandon back at Durmstrang. Granted, then they wouldn't have had this whole experience no the Ferris Wheel, and it may not have been as memorable. If there was one thing Adonia lived for, it was making good memories. And this had been and was turning into a very, very good one. He squeezed her hands softly and asked where to next and she grinned. "Another lesson," she explained slowly.
She pulled him still until she finally found what she was looking for. There where horses and creatures here, right? So, they had to be keeping the hay somewhere. She found the place, a wooden building with the scratchy yellow straw everywhere. She pulled him toward the back, giggling a little. "Now, you know how to realize when a girl wants you to kiss her, right?" she tugged on his hands hard to pull him closer to her, but didn't stop there. She let herself loose balance so they'd fall back into a pile of hay. "Now I'm going to teach you how to take charge, instead of waiting for her to take the lead," she explained.

She said they were going to another lesson and Brandon had no idea what she was talking about. Another lesson? Weren't they at the carnival to have fun. Then again, kissing on the ferris wheel had been fun. She was grinning at him, pulling him along and Brandon was still following her. Really, he didn't know what else to do. He already told her he would go with her, so he might as well just wait and see what she wanted to do.
She pulled him into a wooden building filled with straw and Brandon found himself looking around curiously, not even paying attention to where he was going. Until he heard her giggle. He turned his attention back to Adonia, smiling as she did. He nodded at her question, but didn't say anything. She tugged him and he stepped until he was right up close to her, and then she was falling, and so was he. He landed on top of her and instantly made to move, not wanting to squish her or make her feel uncomfortable. Then she said she was going to teach him how to take charge and his eyes widened. "Take charge?" he echoed, once again not even realizing that he said anything.

He was like a zombie, but that was okay. He was still smiling and he was still warm, and that meant he was alive. Being alive was important. When they fell back, he landed on top of her and he started to try and move but she released his hands to grab his shoulders instead and keep him there. "I'm fine," she said firmly, but not rudely. "Yes, Brandon," her voice softened and slowed. She slowly released his shoulders and lowered her hands to either side of her head, kind of how someone holds their hands over their head when a gun is pointed at them, but her arms were resting on the hay. "Just follow your impulses. You have to trust yourself," she said. "I'm not going to tell you what to do for a moment. Just... try something," she instructed.

Adonia didn't want him to move? He was on top of her, but she held him there, telling him that she was fine in a voice that brooked no argument. Brandon swallowed and nodded slowly. He felt uncomfortable, but he was still listening to everything she said. She slowly moved her hands so they were by her head and stared up at him, telling him to follow his impulses. Impulses? What in the world did she mean by that? Brandon stared at her for a moment and noticed her head was tilted slightly to one side. Without thinking he bent down, kissing her neck lightly at first, but then slightly more and more firmly and insistently, following Adonia's directions and not thinking, just doing. After a few moments he started to move, trailing kisses from her neck to her jawline, down to her chin and then up until his lips reached hers once more. When they did, he was kissing her deeply, much like they had on the ferris wheel.
