Day 4: The Ocean

Kinshiro never liked the beach. Sticky saltwater, irritating sand, annoying people. Not to mention the heat. The burning, fiery sun never got along well with his pale complexion.

His boyfriend, however, seemed to love the beach. Though he loved everywhere he went, Yumoto seemed be most at home in the water. Kinshiro watched the blonde splash around in the ocean from his spot under the umbrella. He sighed and opened his book.

As always, Yumoto was very popular. Kinshiro's eye twitched. Yumoto was surrounded by people, again. He helped a couple put away their things, played with a group of children, joined a volleyball game, and caught a fly away sunhat for a young girl. He charmed everyone. Again.

Kinshiro would say he sulked; he does not pout. Yumoto was amazing and perfect and that was a problem, dammit! Kinshiro almost ripped a page from his book before sighing and laying back. Suddenly, there was a hand on his shoulder. Kinshiro groggily opened his eyes. (When had he closed them? When had he fallen asleep?) Yumoto smiled down at him.

"Ready to go, love?" Yumoto said cheerily.

Kinshiro smiled and sat up. He was about to kiss the blonde when suddenly-

"Hi, Yummo-kun!" It was the sunhat girl he helped earlier.

"Oh, hello, Aki-chan." Yumoto's smile seemed more forced. "I was just about to pack up and leave, so-"

"And leave me all alone?" she giggled, "Come on, Yummo-kun! There's a house party just up the beach. Come with me! You'll have fun!" She twirled a strand of hair around her finger.

Kinshiro scowled deeply. He stood up and cleared his throat, putting away his book. The girl gasped.

"I can even set up your friend!" she persisted, "Please, Yummo-kun! I have to replay you for helping me!" She leaned up close to Yumoto, who looked more and more uncomfortable with the passing second.

"No, again, no thanks" Yumoto said gently, "I'm just going to-"

"Uwah! At least give me your number?" The girl winked.

Kinshiro snapped. "I'd hoped you had enough common sense to figure out that you are a nuisance. It would seem that I was horribly mistaken."

The girl looked appalled. "What a jerk! Yummo-kun, ditch this heartless know-it-all and come with me!"

"Do I need to spell it out for you?" Kinshiro glowered at the girl. "We do not want you here. we wish to leave here and you are making it impossible with your wretched babbling, you incoherent buffoon!"

"How dare you speak for Yummo-kun! What do you know, you bastard!" She raised a hand and

Slap!

"Yumoto!" "Yummo-kun!"

Yumoto stood in between the two, a red mark on his face.

"Yummo-kun! Why did you defend this-"

Yumoto spun around and grabbed Kinshiro. He dipped him deeply, planting a hard hiss to his lips.

The girl gasped. Yumoto lifted up. He looked at the girl, holding Kinshiro tightly to his side.

"Don't you ever talk about my boyfriend like that." His voice was serious. "We are leaving."

With a pale face, the girl stared.

Kinshiro, smug as hell, said, "Goodbye, sweetie~" and turned to help Yumoto pack their things.

The girl walked away, but not before Kinshiro flipped her the bird as a parting gift.

"Today was exhausting," Yumoto sighed, "When we get home, all my attention is on you."

Kinshiro blushed. He turned to Yumoto, breathless. "Please."

Yumoto smiled softly. He lifted one of Kinshiro's hands to his lips, "Whatever you wish, darling."

Kinshiro practically dragged Yumoto back to their apartment at lightspeed.
