Act 2, Scene 2
Meanwhile, Colin and Ryan entered the Amusement Park for a rest. They had left their homes several minutes ago and Ryan had come up with the idea to hitchhike to Calgary. Colin, at first, was wary of the idea, but they both packed all the money they had earned from their part time jobs at a small café - the same one where they meet for the first time - so they’d have enough to head to Calgary.
Cautiously and carefully, they entered the fairground area, staring at the abandoned rides. Colin felt nervous being there at night. So much that he was clinging to Ryan’s burgundy shirt in fear.
“Ryan, are you sure we should be here? I mean, I know it’ll be open tomorrow, but should we really hide out here until morning?” Colin asked, trembling slightly under his sky blue sweater. Ryan placed an arm around the shorter man and rubbed his shoulder.
“It’ll only be for the night, Col. Besides, I know you love these places to death and I figured that tomorrow, before we leave, we could hang out here for you for a bit.” Ryan replied. Colin gazed into Ryan’s emerald green eyes, a small smile on his face. Ryan returned the smile.
“Thanks Ryan, but this is still a scary looking place.” Colin leaned closer into Ryan’s chest. Ryan placed both hands on Colin’s shoulders and kissed the man on his forehead.
“I’ll protect you, Col, from anything.” Ryan promised. Colin said nothing, but leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on Ryan’s lips in response.
“Keep that promise, ok Ryan?” Colin asked, a hint of nervousness in his eyes. Ryan nodded, taking Colin’s hand and leading him to a place to sleep. They soon settled on one of the carts of the Scrambler ride. Curling up together in each other’s arms, they fell asleep.
As the two lovers sleep, Jeff spotted them after running to his bunk, retrieving the love potion and giving some of it to Wayne before they went off in separate directions. The potion, itself, was a clear red liquid and was in a plastic bottle with a squeeze top. Before he was able to go find Josie, he spotted Ryan and Colin, sleeping together.
“Hmm… This looks like it could be fun.” Jeff thought out loud, creeping towards Ryan and Colin. Seeing that Ryan’s mouth was open slightly, he popped open the bottle and poured a little of the potion into the young man’s mouth. Ryan suddenly woke up, coughing due to the liquid being poured into his mouth forcefully, causing Jeff to hide behind one of the carts of the ride out of Ryan’s line of vision. Blinking, Ryan looked away from Colin and paused.
Greg, who was trying to find Josie, was walking on the other side of the Scrambler ride.
“Josie? Where are you? Josie, stop hiding from me, please! I really do love you, why can’t you understand that?!” Greg called out. Hearing no response, Greg sighed before turning to find Ryan, resting his arms on the cart, a lustful smile on his face.
“Ryan, what’re you- why are you looking at me like that?” Greg asked. Ryan said nothing, but jumped out of the cart and walked over to Greg, keeping the same lusty smile on his face.
“Hello, my handsome bespectacled oracle.” Ryan greeted in a low, sultry voice that sent cold shivers up and down Greg’s spine. He did not expect Ryan to talk like that to him. If it was Colin he was talking to in that voice, it wouldn’t bug him too much. But now it was him being hit on by Ryan.
“Ryan, why are you talking like that? You usually talk like that to Colin.” Greg asked, back away nervously.
“Why wouldn’t I, Pookie? After all, it’s you I want, not Colin.” Ryan replied, tilting his head slightly with wide innocent eyes.
That did it. Greg spun around and ran off in the opposite direction.
“I dunno what you’ve been snorting, Ryan, but keep the hell away from me!” Greg shouted, running as fast as he could.
“Pookie, come back!” Ryan called out, running after Greg, leaving a now awakening Colin alone in the small cart.
“Ryan? Ry? Where’d you go? Ryan? Ryan where are you?!” Colin cried out, looking around for his boyfriend. Seeing Ryan was nowhere to be found, he pulled himself out of the cart and ran off to find him. Once he left, Jeff emerged from his hiding spot, a look of worry on his face matching his wide eyes.
“Fuck, I think I made a huge mistake.” He whispered.
