A new shitty story I know, but I was excited about doing something like this so it might get better in the following chapters.
I do not own anything, the characters belong to Level-5.
Chapter one: Crashing Waves
"Come on sleepyhead" Shindou growled and pushed Tsurugi's waterbed to make it move. "Tsurugi..." he sighed again, "do you want to miss the powerboat?" Tsurugi opened one eye and turned on his other side before mumbling "... why don't you ask Tenma?" Shindou opened the door to the balcony of the hotel they slept in for the past two weeks. He pulled the hair tie out which he wore at night here to prevent his hair to fall in his neck because it wasn't already warm enough. His sigh was soft but audible. "He wanted to go to the city and buy a few things. Growing up, he was talking about."
Shindou blew some air. "It's weird, he didn't want to go kite surfing with us but he does want to go on the power boat." Tsurugi seemed to have fallen asleep again and Shindou pulled the blankets away. The only thing was that this wasn't a problem for Tsurugi because it was already really warm. "You leave me no choice." Shindou mumbled and walked to the bathroom.
Tsurugi wasn't really sleeping at all and to his surprise he felt that his ear became wet and a part of his hair too. There was water is his ear! He shot up and as soon as he saw Shindou, slapped the cup of water out of his hand. He rushed out of his bed and grabbed the cup of water or what was left of it. He took a few steps to the smaller boy who was now begging for mercy and opened his mouth to curse a "you little..."
He couldn't even finish his sentence as his phone rang, sent a death glare to Shindou and sat down on the bed. He kept his eyes on Shindou while picking up the call. "Nii-san?" Shindou walked to the closet and pulled his swimming suit out of it. He also grabbed a towel from the balcony where their beach towels dried last night and threw one at Tsurugi, who grabbed it with one hand.
Tsurugi held his hand on his phone to prevent his brother from hearing stupid things Shindou could possibly say at this moment. "Yes? No that's Shindou, we're going to go kite surfing today. Yes again yeah." Shindou slipped into the bathroom and Tsurugi threw the pillow after him. "Of course I'm careful and you know that."
A few minutes later Tsurugi was still on the phone and Shindou stormed out of the bathroom. He was wearing his dark grey with white swimming pants and his matching sports shirt which also had a shade of dark blue. "I'm already going to SunSet, I'll meet you there later." He said to Tsurugi before he opened the door.
"Hold on a second" Tsurugi told his brother and stood up. "Don't forget to use this" he remembered his roommate while throwing the solar cream at him. Shindou caught it but accidentally dropped it again. Tsurugi smirked at the brunette. "The Gods punish you right away." Shindou sighed when he picked it up again. "Really funny."
Before Tsurugi let Shindou go he looked at the time. It was almost half past six so the breakfast room wasn't open yet. "Where are you going to eat?" He inquired. Shindou jumped from the one to the other leg and shrugged. "I don't know, probably at SunSet." Tsurugi smiled before he closed the door. "Good luck putting out our kites." Shindou exclaimed something on the other side but Tsurugi didn't pay attention to it anymore.
The sand was still a bit cool in the morning as Shindou stepped through it, leaving small holes in the loose sand with his feet. There already were a few people on the beach. The gate of Tsunami's Beach & Surf shop was open but Shindou didn't see the man himself. He walked around until he saw him laying on the floor of the kitchen. Probably had a party last night. Shindou wasn't really fond of those beach parties, he only stayed because Tenma and Tsurugi liked it.
But back to business. A firm punch on the countermade the salmon haired man wake up. He lifted his head and saw someone who was leaning on the counter. Tsunami smiled, "Yo. Shindou dude. What can I do for you?" He stood up quickly and looked around in his kitchen. "Are you open?" Shindou asked him. Tsunami yawned, "uhm, yes. We're open."
A little while later Shindou pulled a kite and a surfboard out of Tsunami's storage from which he hired them. He passed Tsunami, who exclaimed something to him. Shindou turned around to him. "Be careful!" Tsunami said and Shindou held his thumb up before he headed to the sea.
Putting out his kite wasn't something really difficult. Only if you were alone and there was a lot of wind. Shindou fasted the harness around his waist and looked at the sea. Tsunami told him that this was a perfect kite surfing day. There was enough wind and the sea was not that calm. The only problem were the seagulls. They were literally everywhere.
Shindou was a bit startled when two strong hands ran through his hair. He jumped up and covered his hair. The boy in front of him smirked, "it's still dry." Shindou cursed under his breath. "Tsurugi, I haven't even had the time." He said while pushing the other male, this caused the key of Shindou's board – which kept his feet attached to it – to fall off. None of them really noticed because they were busy enough.
After some time Tsurugi pushed Shindou to the sea for annoying him when he was on the phone and listened to the brunette who was begging for mercy. Just at the moment he would push Shindou under, Tsurugi came with a request. "I won't push you in the water if you help me, understand?"
Some time later the two were ready for action. Shindou had helped Tsurugi with his kite and was the first to lay his board down in the sea. Tsurugi did the same and looked as Shindou pointed to the sky. "There are really much seagulls." Tsurugi nodded uninterested, "yeah, so what? It's not like they'll be in our way."
The brunette hushed as he quickly fastened his feet to the board. "Are you tired?" Tsurugi mentioned and Shindou pushed him while mumbling "why would I?"
"Say, Tsurugi." Shindou said suddenly. "If you had to choose between your legs and your eyes, which would you choose?" Tsurugi raised his eyebrow. "Why the heck do you ask that?" Shindou shrugged, "I just wanted to know." Tsurugi sighed softly before he fastened his legs to the board. "I prefer my legs." Of course he did, from all that happened with his brother. Shindou wished he never asked it. "I'm most happy with my eyes," he then said quietly. Tsurugi patted his back and sent him a blink. "Be careful with what you're wishing."
Not much later Shindou and Tsurugi were busy to tame the waves and showing each other what they could. The trio always made a little match of it; who could make the best tricks. The loser had to buy the winners a treat but now Tenma wasn't with them so the two had a fifty-fifty chance. Not that the match was going really well because the two were only giving each other bad marks since they didn't want to buy something for the other. If Tenma was there, it was okay to give others high marks when you weren't last since there were three of them.
At a certain moment, Tsurugi crashed into the waves during a trick and Shindou almost ran him over but only hit the line with his board. "Hey!" Tsurugi shouted "are you trying to kill me?!" Shindou slowed down and looked at Tsurugi who was laying in the water. He stopped and hung with his back into the sea. Tsurugi lifted the line and glared at Shindou before loosen his feet and walking back to the beach. This was followed by Shindou who also loosen his feet.
Shindou was bent over his board when Tsurugi pushed his back with his foot, causing Shindou to fall into the sand. He immediately turned to the blue-haired man. "What are you so reared about?" These said with a voice everyone should be afraid of. Shindou spit the sand out and looked at the larger male who was furious. "I'm not reared. Why should I be reared?" Tsurugi said something Shindou could hear and sent him another glare. "I don't know but do something to it! Didn't you see me laying there?!"
Their attention was caught by an idiot who was standing on the powerboat, waving and screaming their names. "God damn it Tenma!" Tsurugi shouted to the idiot. Shindou let out a small chuckle, "so this is what he has been doing." Tsurugi nodded and pointed at Shindou while walking to the direction of the boat. "Don't think I'm finished with you."
Tenma joined Tsurugi and Shindou after they got his gear from Tsunami's storage. Tsurugi left Shindou alone for the time being and they restarted their match. Tenma didn't question about what happened since Tsurugi forbade him to go on the powerboat another time this day.
Shindou was in the lead when a strong wind started blowing. He held his ropes tight to keep control over his kite. Tsurugi and Tenma also seemed to have some difficulty with their kites. A strong gust pulled Shindou up high into the air. This was the perfect chance to do his final trick and beat them, but he couldn't. He was paralysed at the sight. Dark grey big clouds appeared in the sky and the sea seemed like it was getting rougher each second. Shindou clenched his fists around the ropes and looked down.
If he didn't, he could have seen the seagull which was flying in his way. The gull flew against his kite board and - because the key didn't protect it- one of the buckles shot open. The kite board slid off his feet and fell into the sea. Tenma looked up at his senior and screamed his senior's name - though no one heard it. Shindou descended really fast and as his feet touched the salt water again, he saw the groynes looming up in front of his eyes.
Tsurugi and Tenma held their breath when they saw their friend colliding with the groynes. Tenma knew enough, he grabbed the ropes and quickly made his way to Shindou. Tsurugi stopped him. "No Tenma! The stream is too strong, do you want the same to happen to yourself?" Tenma turned his head and looked from the place where Shindou just collided with the wooden pillars to Tsurugi – who was a few metres away from him. "Shikashi Tsurugi! If I don't do something-" "What?!" Tsurugi shouted back. "I can't hear you. There's too much wind!" Tenma cleared his throat, "if I don't do something, he'll die!" He screamed back. "Yeah" Tsurugi said cold. "And you too if you go there!"
The strong stream by the groynes pulled Shindou further down until his gear was stuck between two pillars. His mouth was slightly opened and his lungs slowly filled themselves with water. His eyes closed when his brain couldn't get enough oxygen anymore to keep him conscious.
Pff okay, maybe you expected it to be bad, but now this bad.
Please leave a review with what you think of it and what you think that will happen [I would like to know that]
I'm sorry it had to happen but otherwise I couldn't make this story.
