Summary
“Single rider! One boat for a single rider!”
Steve slashed his hands through the air, checking over his shoulder at the thinning crowd, most of them thankfully ignoring the scene beside the unpopular ride in favor of scarfing down their corn dogs and funnel cakes.
“Oh my god, Keith. Could you keep it down, please?”
Keith slurped on his big gulp, eyeing Steve up and down before pitching his voice somewhere just above front row at a KISS concert.
“One boat for one lonely single rider!”
Steve flipped him off with a tight smile as he climbed into the rickety little boat, flopping down with a sigh. At least he was off his feet. The kids had run him ragged all over the carnival and he just wanted a minute of peace and quiet.
The old, neglected “Tunnel of Love” ride was perfect.
Except for fucking Keith.
“Single rid—Ow! Not cool, man!”
Steve looked back over his shoulder to see Keith rubbing his arm as none other than Billy Hargrove climbed into the boat behind him, smirk firmly planted on his face.
Fuck.

Summary
To say they stood in line would have implied that there was a line of people to stand in, rather than just a wobbly, rusted barricade in an abandoned field.
“I dunno, man. I don’t think it’s running. There isn’t even anyone attending it.”
As he said the words, the ride started spinning.
It was eerie, raising the hairs on the back of his neck as Billy slapped him on the arm with a laugh.
“There, see. It’s just automatic or some shit.”
That seemed...very unsafe to Steve, but.
He didn’t have the greatest track record of making safe, sane decisions.
For instance, here he was, at the carnival with his fuck-buddy who wasn’t a buddy at all.
Fuck-bully? Was that a thing?
Fuck-antagonistic prick with the prettiest goddamn eyes Steve had ever seen?
Kind of a mouthful.
Not unlike Billy.

Summary
So, the house was haunted.
Supposedly.
“Stigmatized.” according to the real estate agent, who hovered nervously on the front porch while Steve took a look inside.
Nothing special, really.
