beach

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ clings to you tightly when you tell him to, eyes still shut as his head rests on your shoulder. was it the heat that made him feel so vulnerable, or was he simply tired? he didn't really have an answer to that question, but he was sure that he wouldn't be able to keep his eyes open for a lot longer, just wanted to curl up on his bed and sleep. his eyes blink open after a few minutes, but all he has is tunnel vision, making him feel slightly dizzy and he yawns into your shoulder silently before asking in a soft tone;
do you know when we're there?

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ *waits for you to climb onto his back and then bends down more to grab his clothes, not bothering to wear them and waste more time which could be bad*
If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't do this, right? Just hold on tight or else you'll fall down and that's something we don't need.
*holds onto your legs before starting to run into the direction of the hideout*

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ swallows thickly once again as his mouth starts watering one more time and with a silent yelp he clings to your back, holding onto your shoulders after getting dressed again, legs wrapping around yours briefly and he lets his cheek rest on your shoulder, eyes falling shut.
...are you sure that you want to do this to yourself, minho?
asks silently and in a rather bubbling, soft and exhausted tone.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ *nods to show that he understands but still turns around, bending his knees a bit*
It's still better to hurry, so get onto my back and let's get away from here before you end up in the sand.
*pats his back and waits for you to move so that he can run back to the hideout*

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ eh- well... might fit, yeah.
grumbles silently and sighs out softly, rubbing his head briefly as his nervousness only grows.
damn, if only i knew. you know it gets really bad when i'm on the floor, but i don't get hit by it that much, usually.
shakes his head, humming in agreement.
yeah... yeah. it is.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ *ignores the flinching and focuses on how warm your skin is beneath his hand is instead*
I'm right for sure because it fits, doesn't it?
*stays close for a bit longer but then shakes his head, taking a step back to clear his mind from the possibilities because he doesn't want to take advantage of you in that state*
How much time do you think is left before it gets really bad? I could carry you back if necessary- hey no need to be ashamed or embarrassed. It's only natural.

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ swallows thickly, flinching a bit when you pull him closer to yourself.
I guess you're right, then- oh.
shrugs, covering his mouth with his hand as he yawns out silently, quickly shifting to press against his scent gland when you get closer to sniff at it, brows knitting as he starts to get a bit nervous.
yeah... maybe. yeah.
lowers his gaze briefly and clears his throat, feeling embarrassed.

@ᴷ candice jimdar ᵇ⋄ℋ *I smile while walking after you. Looking at you I say: * yeah really beautiful
*i strip out of my shirt, after butting the stuff I carried on the ground et's go swimming?

@ᴰ kim minseok ᵒ✿ Mm...over there*points over towards the spot with the rocks and the water,moves forward towards it with a squeal*
It's beautiful

@ᴷ candice jimdar ᵇ⋄ℋ *I take your hand and walk along the beach to find a nice place, I went to bring some snacks, drinks and towels and carry them in the other hand* you see some place you wanna stay?

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ You're the only one sweating right now but okay. If you say so..
*stops and pulls you closer to himself, looking at you closely and holding the back of his hand against your forehead just to hum. Everything seems to fit and make sense, your words only confirming his thought*
I wouldn't say maybe but for sure, Hyunjin.
*leans in to sniff on your neck to see if your scent is already changing*
Maybe we should bring you back to your room before something happens.

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ we won't. it's not cold. it's still warm. warm enough to sweat at least.
furrows his brows lightly, shaking his head briefily and he raises a hand to rub his temple brieflyy, looking at you rather confusedly. you seemed to kind of sense that something was going to happen, and it made him feel alerted.
sure, of course I'm sure I'm okay.
tilts his head up to look at the clouds covering the sun from crashing down onto them and he lowers his gaze again, his lip briefly.
...maybe it's some early signs that i'd rather not think about right now.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ Okay, I understood. No need to repeat yourself, Hyunjin.
*catches the sound but doesn't comment on it yet, brows furrowed in concentration*
You think that it's hot? I'd say that it's a bit more on the cool side right now, especially since there's a slight breeze and we're wet.
*looks back at you every few seconds to make sure you're okay, something seeming off all of a sudden*
Are you sure that you're okay?

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ no- don't see it like that. it's fine. it's alright. don't worry.
hisses silently through gritted teeth and groans out in displeasure.
I forgot, too... doesn't matter, though, it's really, really hot. I don't think we'll catch a cold.
even now he feels how pearls of sweat mix with the water on his forehead and he wipes them away briefly, arm flexing a bit when you tug him along, not expecting such actions. again, he kept his mouth shut and just focused on following you quickly so he wouldn't end up getting dragged back to the shore.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ That's a good thing then, right? I was wrong again but I'm glad that you don't feel weird.
*nods slowly but then facepalms, suddenly remembering what he should have brought along*
Why didn't I take any towels with me? I don't want us to catch a cold instead of feeling hot. Come on, let's just.. hope that we'll get dry quickly enough and get out of the water.
*grabs your wrist and lightly tugs you along*

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ maybe i only allow myself to be calm and quiet when i /am/ feeling comfortable. i don't feel weird around you, bud.
shakes his head softly.
The water's getting cold, might be just another reason why i'm feeling a bit stiff. wanna sit down on one of the rocks? that way we'll get dry again in no time.
looks at you, slight concern painted on his features.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ I can't believe it and that's why I asked. You don't seem to be the kind of guy to be so calm and quiet. Maybe you're not as comfortable around me as I thought..
*lowers his gaze, watching the small waves caused by my movements*

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ alright. glad you think so about it.
nods briefly, humming pensively then.
nothing's wrong. i was just shutting my mouth for once. can you believe that?

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ No need to be sorry when you're just worried. It shows that you care. Hm.. are you okay though?
*watches you with a serious gaze, not expecting that kind of stare all of a sudden*
You can always tell me when something's wrong. I'll try to help.

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ i'm sorry, just... not really that used to it. it worried me a bit.
shakes his head lightly, mouth feeling dry and he stares rather blankly before flashing a smile at you.
I'm glad you're ok though.
stops tensing and just leans back to kinda float on the water.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ I just wanted to say it even though you didn't.
*blinks, taken aback by the question and comment*
Uh I guess? I was just.. thinking about something and actually said it out loud. No need to worry or something like that.

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ sure, sure it is a good thing! never said anything else, heh.
nods, humming pensively at your words.
well, that's true, indeed. but- woah, wait. wait. are you alright? you seem a bit off now, pal.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ *ends up staring into the distance for a moment and hums, snapping out of it when you reply to him*
Just a bit but still something in common. That's good isn't it?
*releases a pretty loud sigh and shakes his head slowly *
No, not experienced at all. I only know that it's better to take it slow than to jump into a relationship and end up with a mess.. maybe even pain or guilt.

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ of course that's possible.
hums in agreement and blinks, checking if you're still trying to splash him, prepared for you to continue.
well, guess we're just a bit similar in that case, huh?
tilts his head to the side and brushes his hair back again, tilting his head a bit.
ohh. relationships. that's soft. someone's experienced, huh?

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ I don't know but it's possible. Anything is possible- okay there's still exceptions.
*watches you with amusement written all over his face, having mercy on you and stopping his actions*
I don't like them because it gives me more time to change my mind, relationships being the only exception.

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ sure I do! why wouldn't I?
throws his head back and squeezes his eyes shut, flapping an arm at your direction to keep you away.
not really, depends on what kind of person you are.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ Someone believes in me and my creative mind.. how awesome.
*moves closer and keeps splashing water at you in hopes of being able to actually reach your face*
Yeah but doesn't it take longer sometimes? They aren't always the best option even though they are comfortable. There are times when you have to jump right into it.

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ i bet you do have great ideas, though.
mumbles silently and shrugs, covering his face with his hand reflexively when you splash water at him.
hey! that's not a bad thing. baby steps are super comfortable because you can do em in no time you don't even realize how fast time flies until you reach the bigger goal.

@ᴷ hwang hyunjin ᵒ➴ Okay now you're expecting too much from me. Being a great thinker who spends a lot of time with thinking doesn't always come up with the best ideas.
*raises a brow and splashes some water at you*
Oh please. Who said that we need baby steps?

@ᴷ lee minho ᵇ✼ it does indeed. you never know what to expect the next time! i bet you, the great thinker, can come up with some really creative stuff, am I right?
shakes his head lightly and snorts out silently.
I bet you just said that without thinking this time. baby steps, you know?
