Kid!Equius x Kid!Reader - Fair Games

You walked around the county fair, wearing the biggest grin possible on your face. You couldn’t help it. This was a day that you had to be happy about. The county fair was literally the best part of your summer; all of the rides, all the games, and the fact that you could spend all this time with your friends. It was something you could never get over.

“[Name], what do you suppose we do next?”

You looked up at your friend Equius with a puzzled expression. You weren’t really sure what to do next. The two of you had ridden most of the eyes and your bellies were definitely full - you two had eaten an entire bag of cotton candy!

“Hmm, I don’t know,” You scanned the fair looking for activities, “Maybe we could-”

And that’s when you saw it.

A towering [f/c] stuffed teddy. It looked to be a thousand times bigger than you! It was certainly exciting, and you certainly wanted it.

“Oh, Equius!” You cried. “Look at that amazing teddy! Let’s go buy it!”

You reached over, grabbing one of Equius’s clammy hands and dragging him over to the stand that was apparently selling this plush toy. You stood at the counter and waved your hands in the air, just making sure that the carny could see you.

“Excuse me, sir?” You asked in your most polite voice. “How much is that stuffed teddy up there?” You struggled to point at the enormous figure.

The man patted your head, ruffling your flowing [h/c] locks and sighed. “I’m sorry young lady, but you can’t buy that teddy bear. You’ve got to win the game to be able to get him.”

Your [e/c] orbs suddenly turned sad. “Oh, okay...” You dropped Equius’s hand and began
to walk away. Surprisingly, Equius stopped you by pulling on the collar of your shirt.

“What must you do to win this ‘game’?” Equius asked the man at the counter.

The man gestured towards a structure of bowling pins stacked in the back of the booth. He then held up a small plastic ball. “You’ve just got to hit those bowling pins. If you knock down all of them, you’ll win big enough to get that teddy bear.”

Equius nodded and pulled a few dollars out of his pocket, handing it to the man. The man in turn handed him the ball. You watched your friend closely. He clutched the ball in his hand tightly, almost crushing the poor plastic with his strength. He then - though you weren’t sure, since he always wore his dark glasses - eyed the pins with a slight glare and chucked the ball directly at them.

All of the pins toppled down onto the floor. You stared in awe.

The man behind the counter smiled. “Nice job, kid. Let me guess... you want the teddy bear, right?” Equius nodded.

The man reached up and grabbed the huge teddy, handing it to Equius. Then Equius pasted the teddy to you. “I hope you can accept this gift, [Name].”

You squealed with delight, hugging the [f/c] teddy close to you. It was so cuddly and soft. It made you feel warm and fuzzy inside, and so did Equius for being so gosh darn nice. You quickly leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“You’re the best, Equius,” You said with the huge grin back on your face once more.

Equius smiled back as a slight pink color began to tint his cheeks.
