Unexpected Dangers
After their bit of play in the sand the two men waded into the ocean. Harper only stayed close to shore in deference to Tyr's hesitance when it came to the ocean. After a few minutes of this they were clean once again and walked around the beach for a time. Harper walking closest to the ocean so that the water would at least hit up to his shins.
They ambled peacefully for a time in silence, Tyr well pleased with earlier events and thoroughly encouraged for the future. Harper was thinking over his responses in reaction to the Nietzschean. For once being in close contact with Tyr didn't cause him to freak out, although for the past weeks Harper had been able to control his 'freaking' so that it was mostly internal, this afternoon he won a bit of his self-confidence back.
Although the only actual experience with males that he'd ever had were from the Nietzschean contingent on Earth, and those weren't exactly without pain. So far Tyr had been the antithesis of all other Niets he'd been acquainted with. Although he wouldn't likely admit it on pain of death, he was falling a bit in love with the bigger man.
Harper looked at Tyr from the corner of his eye and noticed that the big guy was practically basking in the peaceful atmosphere on the beach. If Seamus hadn't seen it with his own eyes he would never had believed that the Nietzschean could find peace without an enemy to fight or a plan to devise. In fact he had never seen Tyr so relaxed as he was at that moment. Harper rested a hand on his companion's inner elbow and continued to walk in silence, reluctant to break the moment. He couldn't help but pouting however, when he looked over the ocean, and saw the huge waves breaking picturesquely. Tyr noticed his mate's preoccupation as well and heaved a sigh of exasperation.
"Go ahead…Surf." Tyr told the suddenly bouncy engineer, sounding as if surfing were a terrible curse word.
"You sure, Big Guy?" Harper asked from under his spiky hair, which was currently getting into his eyes due to the wind.
"Just don't expect me to come to your rescue if you should fall off that contraption." Tyr mumbled in poor humor causing Harper to laugh.
"Don't worry I wouldn't expect you to." Harper joked with his overly worried mate. "Seriously though, you've got to watch this."
So saying Harper gave Tyr a quick squeeze and ran off across the sand to get his board. Tyr watched with an indulgent smirk as Harper finally got his surfboard attached to his ankle and began wading out into the deeper water.
Tyr need not have been so concerned, as he realized a few moments later, as Harper hauled himself easily on top of the bright green board and began riding the waves. Harper stayed out there for an hour and during all that time Tyr was held speechless as he watched his mate doing something he truly loved. For once Harper was not forcing people to take him seriously despite his size; here he was utterly confident and unselfconscious. It was a pleasant change, one in which Tyr hoped to make permanent once they got back to the Andromeda.
The days following their first on Infinity followed much the same pattern. They would wake up entwined together and reluctantly get up for the day. They'd each do a bit of shopping and sightseeing, sometimes together and other alone with a set time to meet up with each other. From there they would drop off their goods at their room and go down to the beach where Harper would surf for much of the day while Tyr watched him. At night they would eat out and frequent various clubs and dance well into the night.
On this particular day the boys wanted to shop separately for an hour or so, Harper secretly wanted to surprise Tyr with a dagger he saw the day before. They were scheduled to meet at 1300 hours in front of the main fountain, and Harper was concerned. It was now 1415 hours and there was still no sign of Tyr. By this point Harper was beginning to panic and decided to check their rooms on the off chance that Tyr went there instead for some reason. He told the vendor directly across from the fountain to tell Tyr where he went if the Nietzschean happened to show up there after all.
As Harper entered their room he couldn't help shiver as a feeling of foreboding assailed him suddenly. He looked through the rooms quickly, finding no sign of his missing mate and he was about to leave when he noticed a flexi leaning against their bags. He picked it up and keyed in the code to turn it on, wishing he hadn't afterwards. On it was a picture of Tyr laying on the ground unconscious with a short message beneath.
'We weren't done with him yet. Signed, Prade.'
