A/N: And thus the Stoked series begins. I have no idea how long I'll continue this thing, could be five chapters, could be fifty.
Enjoy!
Fin squeezed her eyes shut, hesitant to relinquish her sleep. She took in a deep breath. The familiar, yet exciting scent of Reef filled her nostrils. She snuggled into his chest and looked up to see him still deep in sleep. His mouth was hanging open slightly, and he was snoring softly.
'He's kinda cute when he's asleep.' Fin mused. She giggled quietly when he mumbled something incoherent. He woke with a sharp gasp, and glanced around before looking down to identify the weight on his chest. He tilted his head to the left and stared at her for a bit. His eyes widened ever so slightly, remembering the night's events. He grinned like a kid in a candy shop, before leaning in, nose to nose with Fin.
"Morning, babes." He pressed his lips to hers and she screwed up her face. "What?" Reef asked frantically, frowning.
"Morning breath..." Fin mumbled. She smiled sweetly before slowly lifting herself off of him. "C'mon. We've got to get ready for work." Reef grabbed her and gave her a big bear hug.
"You sure we can't take the day off, you know... just for us?" Reef smiled innocently.
"Now now, you're a big boy. You've got responsibilities." She messed up his hair and headed off to her room.

"Good morning!" Fin grinned as she stepped inside the hotel.
"Well, someone's chipper this morning." Lo noted, smirking ever so slightly. Fin blushed as she opened her locker to grab her uniform. "So where did you guys go last night? You left the DR and we never saw you again." Lo batted her eyelashes in an innocent manner.
"I know you guys were watching." Fin said, smiling to herself. "And that you planned the whole thing. Emma began sputtering, and Lo's face went blank.
"But seriously, thanks, guys," Fin turned and smiled at her friends. The other girls stared at her, confused. "If it hadn't been for you guys, I would've just spent the rest of my summer denying my feelings."
"Aww." Emma clasped her hands together and gave Fin a big hug.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some crusty rooms to clean." Fin shuddered before heading out to start her shift.

Reef stared out onto the water in a daze, completely oblivious to the little kid shouting at him.
"Hey, mister! What's wrong with you? You're supposed to be teaching me how to surf!" He stared angrily for a second before huffing loudly and giving Reef a sharp kick to the shin. He snapped back into reality pretty quickly.
"Ow!" He grabbed his now throbbing leg and hopped up and down, yelping. "Oh, man. I'm gonna get fired if I don't start paying more attention." Reef's mind hadn't left the thought of Fin since he awoke that morning. He couldn't focus on teaching, just about her soft, heavenly lips. Every prospective student that day had stormed off because Reef just kept staring out at the ocean mumbling sweet nothings about Fin. He didn't even notice Broseph standing behind him, trying to get his attention.
"Hey, bro! Guy, you're messed!" Broseph waved a hand in front of Reef's face, only to bear no response. "Man, you must be going into surf withdrawal. I gotta get you in the water guy!" He grabbed the daydreaming grom and carried him like a surfboard towards the water, tossing him out onto a board just a few feet out in the waves. Reef landed face first on the nose of the board, which proceeded to flip into the air, landing directly on Reef's cranium. His eyes rolled back into his head and he fell back into the blue.
"Ooh..." Broseph winced, covering his eyes with his arm. He looked around to ensure there were no witnesses before quickly slinking off out of sight, and blame. Reef floated to the surfacing sputtering water and mumbling some foolish mumbo-jumbo before passing out. He drifted back onto shore where some mischievous little kids buried him in the sand up to his neck.

"YEEEOWWWCHHH!" Reef screamed, waking to a sharp pain in the tip of his nose. A bright red crab had attached himself to Reef's face, and did not appear to be letting go any time soon. He shook his head violently trying to remove the crustaceous intruder. "Get off me, you crusty bastard..." Reef mumbled desperately.
"Haha, rough day?" Reef heard the familiar, smug tone of his girl from behind his head.
"Fin? Thank God, come on! You gotta get this guy off my face!" Reef craned his neck trying to get a better look at Fin. She took a few steps forward and kicked the little crab, which landed back in the water with an audible splash. "Oh, thank you thank you thank you." Reef said, screwing up his face in an attempt to reduce the throbbing in his nose. She knelt down and dug him out of the sand. As soon as he was free, Reef leapt to his feet and wrapped his arms tightly around Fin and planted a huge kiss on her lips.
"Oh, I missed you." He whined softly. Fin chuckled a little at her manly new boyfriend. "I can't handle a whole day without seeing you. I couldn't focus on work at all."
"Me neither." Fin replied, still laughing slightly. "We need to start getting together between shifts." She smirked naughtily at him. Reef simply smiled even wider and kissed her again.
"Now, how about a surf before it gets too dark?" Fin proposed.
"You bet." Reef said, grabbing her by hand and heading to the shack for their boards. They surfed for hours, until the sun finally set and the moon was high above the water, reflecting its yellow beauty on the water. There they sat face to face on Reef's board, caught in liplock.
Her hands were tangled in his deep red hair, and he was caressing her cheek with his thumb, while keeping a hand tight to the middle of her back. Fin slowly broke off the kiss and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I never want this to end..." She mumbled dreamily.
"We've got all summer, babe."

A/N: So here you go. Hope it was alright. Not much happened plot-wise, but I figure it'll take them a while to adjust to their new relationship.
