Fun

At first Flynn had no idea how he had landed there.

He realized soon enough however, if not only for Yuri's loud laughter resounding a few feet away. Soaking wet and a dumbstruck look on is face sure must be a funny sight - Flynn for his part didn't think it was funny in the least.

They had meant to go for a fun trip to the sea with Yuri, Karol, Raven, Lady Estellise and Rita to take a break from work; the princess had chosen a beautiful spot near Nordopolica to rest and enjoy the summer heat. Eventually they found canoes and organized a little race alongside the shore, in which Estellise paired up with Rita, Karol with Raven, and Flynn with Yuri. The blond had been rather confidant they would make a great team, although the malicious glint in Yuri's eyes hadn't really been reassuring. Now that he had tasted his best friend's sense of humour first hand, he knew he should have had listenned to his guts. Yuri seemed to enjoy his demise a bit too much for Flynn's liking, and his expression quickly turned sour.

"Aw come on don't pull that face! You said needed a good bath, right?" the vigilante sniggered.

"Shut up!" Flynn merely grunted in annoyance and swam back to the canoe he'd been oh so gently pushed from. Yuri, visibly still quite amused, let go of his paddle and reached for his friend's hand to help him back on the boat; he only realized his mistake a second too late as Flynn's glare turned into a devious smirk and he suddenly jerked him down into the water. The blond was now the one to have a good laugh, statisfied to have paid him back. When Yuri didn't resurface a few moments later however, his laughter quieted down and he frowned, slightly worried.

"Yuri?"

Right then, he recognized the other's blurry form right under him, and knew it wouldn't end well for him the moment he felt hands on his waist. A second later he was pulled underwater full force while Yuri rushed back to the surface and held him down, breathing heavily.

"Ahaha! Seems you underestimated me, Mr. Knight!" he laughed in victory.

Flynn struggled to get back up but Yuri did put some pressure on his shoulders. Only solution, grab whatever you can and pull.

"Whoa, hey not the hair Flynn! Dammit would you stop that, it hurts!" the swordsman immediately reacted and effectively was forced to let go of him. Flynn resurfaced quickly, panting hard.

"Say what?!" he glared back at Yuri, who was aiming at him once again. This time, Flynn dodged and meant to throw a good puch at him when he was hit by a rather big wave Yuri had fiercely splashed at him. By the time he looked back the other was already on him trying to push him down, while Flynn did his best to keep his balance up and turn Yuri over. In no time their wrestling became a heavy water fight, both parties dead set on getting the upper hand. Their laughter and shouts filled the air as their only focus was dueling each other, the initial canoe race completely forgotten.

A bit further away, the two remaining teams had noticed one had left the race. Rita was the first to realize why, and supressed a yell; she shook her head in exasperation. "Those two are such idiots, I swear. Why are we wasting our time with them again?" she scoffed.

"Oh Rita." Estelle sighed, a small smile on her lips as she watched her friends battling in the water. They really would never change.

"Ah, youth!" Raven chuckled from his and Karol's boat. «So are we keepin' up that race or what?"

"Yuri! Flynn! Are you comming?! We still have a race to finish!" the kid called out at the top of his lungs.

Said friends abruptly ceased all combat, aware they were being awaited.

"Yo, Karol! Sorry, you go on ahead but we're gonna swim back to the shore okay? Mind taking our boat along?" Yuri waved.

Flynn raised a brow at him "What are you up to now?"

"Just wait a sec." he hushed him and waited for Karol's reply, who agreed and yelled they meet up back at the beach. "Alright, thanks! Later!" he threw his thumb up before turning back to Flynn, who looked at him expectantly.

"So...you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

Yuri smirked. "Ready to go down! Race you back, last at the shore's a slouch!" And with that he sprinted forward, leaving a dumfounded Flynn behind.

The latter soon grinned back though and didn't waste any more time as he plunged forward as fast as he could.

"Oho, you're on !"
