[ The audience goes wild as Haly's Traveling Circus begins its three-ring opening act extravaganza. The performers swarm the floor in a choreographed riot of colors and music, and Dick just knows he's gonna get lost in the crowd.

When's Jack gonna give in and let him have his own aerial act? The accident was five years ago. He's ready. He's got a routine worked out and everything. All he needs is a chance.

Not that he's ever gonna get one as long as he's stuck doing boring old handsprings through boring old flaming hoops all the way over in the third ring. Total baby stuff. He could do this in his sleep. He catches two juggling clubs mid-double-backflip, spins once more in midair, sticks the landing, and the crowd goes nuts. Okay, that felt pretty cool, maybe it was more impressive than he'd —


... Or maybe the elephant's stealing the show. Aw, come on, Zitka... ]
runningstart: (kf; i think that's an insult)

[KF is caught with the box in his hands, so when Dick shoves the flowers at him he shoves the box at him in return and they somehow work out an exchange. Flowers, huh? He's actually gotten flowers before; a girl who's life he'd saved from a burning building had sent flowers to the Hall of Justice with his name attached. God, he'd gotten teased for weeks over that by Speedy, the jerk.

...he doesn't think he'll tell anyone about these.]


Thanks, [he fumbles awkwardly, before nodding toward the box in his hands.] I uh, your present's kind of...y'know, practical. I figured we could use it tonight. [Inside is a small disposable camera.] I thought we could go to the Rocky Mountain National Park, if you're interested. I brought trail mix and water and stuff and it'll be like hiking, but at a hundred miles an hour.
runningstart: DO YOU GET IT AHAHAHA i'm hilarious (kf; need a hand?)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-12 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
No no, leave it. Are you kidding? With the flash on the pictures will be hilarious.
runningstart: (kf; still the fasted thing under 20)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
If you insist. [KF turns around and folds his arms, closing his eyes and tapping a foot while he waits. Was he supposed to leave the trailer? Sorry but he goes to public school, he's 100% used to just stripping down in front of a bunch of other guys.]
runningstart: (kf; oh so THAT'S what it does)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
You kinda look like cotton candy on a stick, dude. [But KF is still blushing and still grinning and he's charmed as hell.]
runningstart: (kf; i-i made it!)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
More like sweep you onto my back. C'mere. [KF holds his backpack out to Dick plaintively. Please put this on.]
runningstart: (kf; what's goin' on fearless leader)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not if I'm running around on mountains. Trust me, you don't want it either. [KF crouches so that Dick can climb up onto his back and hooks his hands under his thighs, descending the steps of his trailer and hiking him up.] Hmm...maybe move your arms? So instead of around my neck, there's one under my shoulder and the other over.
runningstart: (sf; you gave me mouth to mouth)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not this fast, but faster than average. It's this fast because he can feel Dick's heartbeat against his shoulderblade, picking up because of nerves or maybe in anticipation for his first high speed trip. Or-

KF adjusts his grip and starts off at a normal running pace.]
Much better. Hang on tight. [And then he leans forward, digs his toes in and speeds up. They're off the fairgrounds and beside the highway in minutes, and they cover the seventy miles to the Rocky Mountain National Park in a fraction of time a car would.]
runningstart: are you crying??? (kf; HAHA! it's like you care or w/e)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[KF's been called amazing before. He's been called incredible, a marvel, a hero, a godsend. He's definitely been called ugly things too, but the good by far outweighs the bad and he's gotten used to it. Thankfully not in a way that's gone to his head -mostly- but it doesn't make him boast or puff up or congratulate himself too hard anymore. It's just an observation; he's amazing because he's fast. Sure.

Except that when Dick says it, it's like his whole body becomes a livewire, or like he was just dropped into hot soda. Everything tingles, everything feels warm and his chest hitches as he grins and puts on a burst of speed for the last three miles. Nothing too fast, nothing to get them hurt, but they're skidding to a halt in the parkinglot of the park and KF is letting Dick down, eager to see his face.

...wow his hair is so fucked up]
So I'm guessing you liked it.
runningstart: DO YOU GET IT AHAHAHA i'm hilarious (kf; need a hand?)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[KF winds his other arm around Dick's shoulders when he hugs his elbow and he can't keep this idiotic smile off his face, he must look so dumb right now. But Dick keeps running his fingers through his hair and it keeps making it stick up more, and the wind must've ripped most of the glitter off because he's only sparkling a little bit, which is the most ridiculous thing KF's ever thought.

He turns Dick around to dig through the backpack while Dick yells something about so fast, oh my god, like a roller coaster and pulls out the camera, spinning him back around and leaning down to press their cheeks together and set the camera up in front of them.]


Date start selfie, look alive! [The flash blinds them both temporarily -the sun's long since set- and KF blinks away stars as he rewinds the camera only halfway before stowing it in the backpack again.] Heh heh heh. Your hair looks really stupid. Now you know what I deal with on a daily basis.
runningstart: (kf; i think that's an insult)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[KF freezes.

KTHMP KTHMP KTHMPKTHMPKTHMP]


I- cool. [oh god his face feels so hot] Well, y'know, I do take painstaking care to make sure it's extra stupid every morning.
runningstart: (kf; still the fasted thing under 20)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey thanks. Jerk. [KF is grinning though, and -like an idiot- he takes Dick's hand as they hop over the very obvious "CLOSED" fence and start for the hiking paths.]

So. I've never been on any of these paths and I'm hoping at least one of them leads to like, some romantic mountaintop view or a waterfall or something, but in the case it doesn't and we're attacked and eaten by mountain lions or something, I just wanted to say thanks. For coming with me.
runningstart: (kf; oh so THAT'S what it does)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-13 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[p-pretty eyes, is that a weird thing to think about a guy]

As good as you are with bears?
runningstart: (kf; you are soooo welcome)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-08-14 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Getting jealous again. [KF tugs a little on Dick's hand as they climb over a set of boulders.] Jeez it's dark. Here, there's a flashlight in the bag. Turn around.
