Summary: Things in Alois Trancy's were always changing as he grew up. The only one constant, the very rock of Alois' life, is Claude Faustus.
Alois is twelve years old when he finds out the truth
“Come on Luka!” Alois cheers running ahead on the wide paved path.
Swarms of people have gathered at Six Flags on this hot summer day as the loud screams of children fill the air. The Trancy family plus Sebastian and Claude had packed up the car and set off for Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. The park was filled with a wide variety of people ranging from guidos on the shore to yuppies from the suburbs. The entire car ride up Luka and Sebastian had boxed Alois out of the conversations by talking about things going on in high school while Claude just didn’t even speak at all. Poor Alois had to endure almost hour of who broke up with whom or who hooked up with whom behind so-and-so’s back.
But now Alois was finally free of the confined car. He was free to run around all day as he pleased and free to finally ride on the rollercoaster with Claude. The very thought of Claude having to sit so close to him on the ride made Alois’ palms sweat. Alois had even taken special care to wear his sky blue soccer jersey to bring out his eyes. Alois wanted everything that day to run smoothly.
Alois hadn’t seen Claude since he left the Trancy’s Fourth of July picnic last week and the blonde had been a little nervous about seeing the teen again. Alois feared that Claude would apologize or something saying that their kiss was a mistake. Or that he would tell Luka and Sebastian so that all three of them could laugh about it. But so far Claude wasn’t acting any different than he usually did and it eased Alois’ anxiety down. As long as Claude said that it wasn’t a mistake or a joke, Alois would take what he could get.
“Alois slow down.” Mrs. Trancy sighs fanning herself with one a park map, “I’m dying in this heat! Why didn’t we go to the beach?”
“It would have been ever more packed there.” Mr. Trancy shrugs watching as his youngest son races through the crowds of people.
“I want to go on El Toro!” Alois does a little dance of excitement as he points at the massive rollercoaster looming overhead. Mrs. Trancy’s eyes follow the steel structure up to the very top just in time to watch as a strong of cars race by filled with screaming teens.
“Well that answers that question.” Mrs. Trancy shakes her head, “Alois absolutely not. You’re still too young.”
“Yeah maybe next year squirt.” Luka whispers goes unheard by Mrs. Trancy and Sebastian snickers.
“But you said that I could go on the big rollercoasters this year!” Alois frowns prepared to throw a tantrum if he has to, “Luka got to go on El Toro when he was younger!”
“Yes but Luka was twelve when we let him.” Mrs. Trancy sighs looking to her husband for support. Mr. Trancy seems preoccupied with the park map suddenly as he makes it clear he will have no part in this argument if Alois is going to throw a tantrum.
“But I’m twelve too! Mom! That’s not fair! I’m twelve why can’t I go?” Alois whines and a few people walking around then glance at Alois. Mrs. Trancy’s face heats in embarrassment at her ill-behaved child and she hisses for Alois to lower his voice.
“Alois nonsense, you’re eleven. When you turn twelve you can go on El Toro.”
“But Mom!” Alois whines as Sebastian and Luka are trying their hardest not to laugh, “Dad! Dad? Tell Mom that I’m twelve! I’m twelve!”
“He turned twelve in November darling.” Mr. Trancy said glancing at Luka and motioning towards the rollercoaster. Luka gave his father the thumbs up before whispering to Sebastian about something.
“Oh right! Sorry dear, I keep forgetting that you’re twelve now. I still don’t know though. Luka was a lot taller than you at this age.” Mrs. Trancy sighs not even noticing when Mr. Trancy, Luka, and Sebastian began to inch away. The three turned and made a run for the El Toro line and Alois cried out in panic.
“Hey no fair! Why do they get to go!” Alois shrieks pointing after the three men that quickly disappeared into the line. Mrs. Trancy turned to see that her husband was gone and released along tired sigh. Her eyes then landed on the remaining teen and she got an idea.
“Well I’m going to get out of this heat.” Mrs. Trancy sniffed fanning herself once more with the park map, “Claude? Would be a dear and take Alois on the kiddie rides? Just to calm him down some and then you can go join Luka and Sebastian for the rest of the day.”
“Mom!” Alois’ face heats up in embarrassment. She couldn’t just tell Claude what to do, especially to take Alois on the ‘kiddie rides’. Alois wrinkles his nose at the thought lamenting over how utterly childish he must seem to Claude.
“It’s fine.” Claude glances at Alois briefly and Alois shut up.
“Perfect!” Mrs. Trancy waves as she begins to stroll off, “See you boys at around lunch time.”
Alois watches the retreating form of his mother before turning to Claude with a look of bewilderment. This is better than anything Alois could have ever hoped for and he bits his lip still not quite believing of great this whole situation turned out.
“Claude,” Alois asks softly looking to Claude to see if he has any expression at all, as usual he does not, “Are you sure?”
“I’ve already been on El Toro a few times before.” Claude pushes up his glasses and starts off in the direction of the special designated area for smaller children. Alois frowns and scurries after the older boy to stop him by tugging on his sleeve.
“I’m too old to go on those rides.” Alois pouts and Alois does speak the truth, “Can’t we go on something else?”
“Well then what do you propose we go on then?” Claude is now letting Alois guide him around by the blonde’s grip on his sleeve, which delights Alois to no end.
The blonde continues to walk, looking for another suitable ride, while secretly watching Claude form his peripheral vision. Masses of people are walking around and along them side them as well when a thought pops into Alois’ mind. Alois wonders if people think Claude and him are together given how possessively Alois is holding onto Claude. Alois wonders if Claude questions how they must appear walking so closely together by themselves without parental supervision. Alois wonders if in the future he’ll ever get a chance to walk beside Claude and not have to question what he means to him.
“Alois,” Claude says breaking the boy of his thoughts, “You’re crowding me.”
“Sorry.” Alois says sheepishly. He lets go of Claude’s sleeve and the older boy smoothes out the wrinkles that have resulted due to Alois’ hand. A few girls around Claude’s age eye the pair as they walk by however Claude seems to pay them no mind.
“You haven’t told anyone about what happened at the picnic have you?” Claude asks suddenly.
“No of course not!” Alois says quickly and Claude quirks an eyebrow in question.
“I mean of course I wouldn’t tell anyone. I’m not some dumb kid Claude. If told my parents what happened they might think that you’re a bad influence and,” Alois picks up his head to meet Claude’s eyes, “Then I wouldn’t be able to see you anymore.”
Claude makes a sound of amusement before wrapping his arm around young Alois’ shoulders who mentally squeals inside. Claude has is arm around Alois’ shoulders. Claude Faustus has his arm around Alois’ shoulder. Claude has his arm around Alois’ shoulder in public and does not seem to mind. Alois is once again floating on cloud nine as Claude begins to steer them in the direction of Bizzaro, another larger rollercoaster in the park.
Alois’ entire face lights up as he looks to Claude as if asking if it were true. The soft shove to Alois’ lower back confirms Alois’ suspicions and the blonde cries out with joy. As nice as it is walking with Claude’s arm around his shoulder, Alois wants to go on the rollercoaster with Claude even more. He sets off ahead calling for Claude to chase after him although the older boy’s leisurely pace does not pick up.
“Claude, come on!” Alois is all smiles as he runs through the various roped off lanes towards the ride’s main entrance. The line is practically nonexistent for this particular ride and Alois giggles as he slips beneath the ropes to get to the front faster.
Finally Alois reaches the front and turns around to see that Claude is still making his way towards the front. Alois taps his foot trying to look impatient for show but secretly inside takes the time to admire Claude. The hot weather is not favorable to Claude’s hair it seems as various curls pop out at odd angles. Alois finds them adorable and has the urge to flick one with his thumb and index finger.
“Claude!” Alois whines dragging out the syllables when Claude finally joins Alois at the front of the line.
The pair is next to go when the string of cars pulls up and Alois tugs Claude towards the front car. The man operating the ride gives Alois a funny look so the blonde sticks his tongue out at him before hoping into the compartment. Claude sits down next to Alois, grunting softly when he discovers that he’s being crammed right up against Alois’ side.
Alois on the other hand can’t seem to get close enough as he takes the opportunity to snuggle close to Claude and press their sides together. Claude is so much taller and stronger than the blonde and it drives Alois wild. He can feel Claude’s body heat transferring to him as Alois deems this the best moment of his life so far.
“Seatbelts?” The man operating the ride asks the two and Claude carefully pulls the safety bar down across their laps. Everything is all set and Alois is practically jumping in his seat with excitement.
“I’m not going to cry.” Alois announces looking to Claude to make sure he’s paying attention and the dark haired teen is.
“Good.” Claude gets comfortable wrapping his arm around Alois’ shoulders once more and Alois’ entire body shivers with excitement and anticipation.
“Ready?” The voice on the intercom asks as the passengers of the rollercoaster scream in approval. The sound of gears releasing is heard as the cars start off and the intercom voice bids them farewell.
The string makes a steady climb towards the first drop and Alois slings to Claude’s side smiling the whole time. This is by far the most romantic moment that Alois has ever experienced even if Claude is as stiff as a board and he’s gripping Alois a little too tight. Alois doesn’t mind if Claude bruises him or not.
“You going to cry, little prince?” Claude asks eyes for once showing some emotion as they flicker mischievously. The cars jerk as the suspension cords click into place and the cars have finally reached the summit.
“W-what?” Alois asks wide eyed when suddenly the locks give and the string of cars is sent hurdling towards the ground.
Alois’ stomach drops out from beneath him as he shrieks at the top of his lungs. The passengers behind them are shrieking as well but Alois is by far the loudest. The cars take a sharp turn and Alois is thrown into Claude’s side before the string sets off for another drop again. The sensations of the big rollercoaster cannot compare to that of the little ones Alois has been on before and Alois is absolutely terrified. He turns towards Claude and clings to the older boy for dear life as the cars are dropped once again.
Alois isn’t able to see Claude’s expression, as he’s closed his eyes in fear, but Claude actually wraps his arms around Alois during the next drop. The torture seems to go on forever until the cars are finally pulling back into ride’s terminal and Claude releases Alois, nearly having to pry him off of him.
“Alois?” Claude asks shaking the boy’s shoulder whose eyes are still closed shut, “Alois the ride is over.”
“I-I know.” Alois replies shakily as slowly stands up in the car.
Claude is already standing on the platform as he extends his hand out to help the shaking boy from the car. Alois takes Claude’s hand and falls into the other sighing with relief when his feet are finally on solid ground again. Alois’ blood is still pumping through his body but he’s slowly starting to calm down again.
“Hey!” Alois laughs weakly looking up to Claude, “I didn’t cry!”
Claude simply hums and flips out his phone before walking off towards the ride’s exit. Alois is trailing behind him like a faithful puppy watching as Claude’s fingers fly over the phone’s keys. After a few short moments the phone is snapped shut before Alois even has a chance to read the message and he pouts.
“Who were you texting?” Alois pokes Claude on the arm.
Now Claude’s face seems to take on a rather sinister look as he pushes up his glasses while starting straight ahead.
“My girlfriend.”
The words hit Alois harder than a ton of bricks.
