Summary: Jane takes Maura for her first ride on a Ferris Wheel.
Author's Note:Just a quickie, trying to get these drabbles done for you all.
“I can’t believe that you’ve never been to a fair before!” Jane tugged on Maura’s hand, pulling her through the crowd.
Maura glanced excitedly at the booths, wrinkling her nose every so often at some of the smells.
“My parents never found any reason to go to a fair…we went to Disneyland once. They had to leave within a few hours for a luncheon….”
“Well, this is no Disneyland, Maur. There are plenty of rides, though.” Jane grinned, finally stopping in the line for the Ferris wheel.
“Jane, we’re not…that does not look very stable…” Maura glanced at the ride wearily, a frown taking up residence on her face.
“Hey, I’ve been on Ferris wheels a million times before, and never had any problems.” Jane squeezed Maura’s shoulder gently, nudging her slightly as they moved to the front of the line.
Maura’s eyes flashed toward the ride operator, and she poked Jane in the shoulder.
“Jane…” the ME whispered frantically, “that young man hardly looks qualified to operate such a machine- Jane, are you listening?”
The detective was busy counting their tickets, and upon separating the correct amount, pulled away the finger that was jabbing into her to grab her attention. She slipped her hand into the ME’s to keep her from boring a hole in her shoulder.
“Yes, I’m listening, and the kid’s probably been running rides his whole life. Don’t worry.” The brunette handed their tickets to the operator and, with some prompting and whining, dragged Maura with her into to the rickety contraption. Jane clicked the shared belt for their safety and threw Maura a reassuring smile.
“Do you really think that this is safe, Jane?” Maura clamped her eyes shut as the wheel started moving, turning slowly and raising them into the sky.
Maura inched closer to Jane as they rose into the air, holding on to the detective for dear life when the ride stopped.
“Jane? Are we okay?” Maura whispered, as though raising her voice to a normal level would send them plummeting to the ground.
“No, Maura, we died.” Jane deadpanned, smirking at Maura’s sudden aversion to heights.
“Jane, that’s not funny.” The ME slapped her on the arm for the comment and promptly gripped her tighter as the ride creaked.
“Okay, okay, I’m sorry. We’re fine, Maura, just open your eyes…it’s really nice up here.” Jane nudged the woman beside her, trying to lift her eyelid with her finger when she didn’t comply.
“Jane! What are you-? You’re going to blind me!” Maura swatted the detective’s hand away and cracked one of her eyes open. She was met with a large brown eye and a giggle. Jane was being especially childish today, and Maura had to admit that she was enjoying this side of the detective more and more.
The detective moved aside, allowing Maura to see something other than her eye. Maura’s breath caught, and Jane felt fingers lace between hers absentmindedly.
“It’s beautiful…the city looks so…look at the lights, Jane.” Maura beamed, facing the detective with an awed twinkle in her eye.
“I told you so.” The detective grinned, squeezing the soft hand in hers and letting the quiet settle between them.
“I think I like Ferris wheels, after all.” Maura breathed, pulling near the detective when the wheel began to creak and pull them down once again.
As they descended and the lights nearly left their view, Jane turned to the ME, meeting her eyes fleetingly before placing a gentle kiss on her lips.
They left the fair that night hand in hand, and Maura felt as though she were still on that wheel, suspended and light.
