Or the one where Peridot drowns ono (wrote this in a day)

Lapis kept a pace when flipping channels, as the distorted images of different programs share graphics of flood warnings in the area. A storm sweeping its way from the coast to devastate a small beach town and surrounding areas. Lapis bundles her tank top over the queasiness after just learning the graduation to a category three turned four.

Loud banging congests the house, Peridot is bracing the windows with 2x4 using hammer and nails. She hasn't stopped since this morning, leaving their house lacking natural sunlight becoming a this dark den of major uncertainty. Peridot felt she was ready to take on anything faces after careful planning before the arrival. Stockpiling basic essentials that lasts for weeks on end, including a raft.

With the final nail in place and a hammer drop, Peridot finds levity in protecting her space hoping it would be enough to take on Mother Nature's divinest of all blessings.

"OH FUCK ME DUDE! PERIDOT GET IN HERE!" Lapis alerts from the other room.

Peridot runs from dinning space, in the den Lapis is curled up on in a toppling ball rocking herself to calm down.

"What is it?" Peridot says with slight concern.

"It jumped from three to four, am I clear?" Lapis springs up and lords closer, "Three to four, where I come from that's called a problem, hmm so what does my brilliant girlfriend does?" Lapis stairs back expecting an answer.

Peridot shifts as she is taken back from Lapis' scene, "I told you we'd be fine Lapis! I've been through storms worst then this, without ever having leaving in this first place and besides the roads for evacuation is 'butts to gutts' we wouldn't make it time anyway," Peridot sits on the couch.

"This is scary, we really shouldn't be here. I mean we're in a severe flood area for crying out loud, are we really going to take are chances with this one because it's looking like an unsafe bet every minute I spend in this place," Lapis allows a tear to fall, Peridot reached out to grab her hand consoling her.

"May it looks bleak, this our home. A lot of blood, sweat," Peridot pauses to wipe Lapis' cheek, "and yes, tears got us where we are today. I'm not abandoning the place we share our love for anything in the world. Like I've told you before seen more hurricanes than you have so I need you to trust me."

"Peridot, if we make it..." Lapis says in a breakdown.

"Shhh..." Peridot hushed pressing on her lips,

"We will make it, I am certain of it. As long as we have each other we can take on any evils."

Peridot leans in to kiss, Lapis crosses her eyes and parts her lips.

The power flickers then cuts completely turning the house dark as spades. Then the power returns as the sudden interruption startled the girls and were greeted to lights, tv functions and various appliances beeping signaling use.

Then the power cuts again only this time there's no telling when it will come back.

A few hours later...

Wind speed became vocal through the plywood boarded windows signaling the storms coming close. After learning the entire neighborhood is either evacuated or without home power Peridot broke out three emergency candles.

Lapis hadn't left her spot since power left, she sat in the dark arms folded trying to contain the array of mixed emotions she's dealing with. Peridot lights one candle and returns to couch holding a body cleaning kit, "We should probably go upstairs and get ready for bed," Peridot suggests.

"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you," Lapis remarks sarcastically and starts to imitate Peridot's speech, "tHis IS oUR hoME, mAy iT LOoks blEAK!"

Peridot stares blankly in candle light, "stop that you're only frustrated right now and I'm telling you we're going fine, let's go."

Lapis gets up swiping an unlit candle and walks to her girlfriend with a gaze of cruel intentions, she dates the wick to the open flame to ignite her own candle then she went to the staircase.

"I sure hope your right, Peri." she says beginning her ascent and out of view upstairs.

" i sure hope so too," Peridot says to no one to hear her.

Lapis recognizes her frustration is taking hold of her better judgement and does feels quite guilty for playing mean tonight. Dire events have brought out the worst in people also sometimes the best and she has Peridot to prove that. She also recognized how diligent Peridot has been throughout her stockpiling process just to keep her safe and well. Now her conflicting thoughts have her a headache, she wanted to lie down in bed but she reeked of cold sweat. She has the body cleaning kits Peridot packed and figured that this is the best time for a wash.

Upstairs in the loft area is a beautiful bay window displaying the coastline in its horizontal beauty, basically the most aesthetic place in house to the occupants standards. Now, its boarded up to prevent glass from flying at deadly speeds, except for a courtesy peephole Peridot installed. The reason is to see the oncoming horror the storm projects. Peridot spots the fairing flag, red with a black square meaning 'hurricane' and its flapping violently to the east.

She spots fallen trees blocking intersections, but had not toppled on the neighbor's houses yet. Waves had more definition as the wind carries them with a strong velocity.

The storm is upon them, the only thing to do is wait it out and pray for the best. Peridot fidgets a small black velvet box in her hands, it's been in her possession since she started dating Lapis. Waiting for the right time to present it in a warm fashion. She holds it close to her chest when she went down stairs, in good time, Peridot thought to herself.

With all of the gear moved upstairs, she forgets that little black box on the kitchen counter in her eagerness to return to Lapis.

Peridot goes through the loft space to enter their bedroom. "Lapis, you okay?" Peridot spotted candlelight coming from the bathroom and enters slowly. She was met by a stark naked Lapis toweling herself with moist towelettes, Peridot always admired her girlfriend's body for as long as she could remember, she takes the image of Lapis' panties hanging off her ankles with her pert breasts proudly presented for her.

The candle in the mirror effect illuminated the mid sized bathroom with a warm glow adding much to Lapis' gorgeous figure.

"I'm getting better," Lapis says rubbing the cloth over her pussy leaving her lips in its shimmering glory. She began to play with her clit, and laughed at herself for staggering Peridot to the point of keeping her eyes below. Lapis bites her lip, and sped her fiddling also pinches her left nipple making her softly moan by getting into more. Peridot's wandering eyes drove her insane, something about this is becoming very hot for Lapis, so she ditches the cloth to prod her throbbing opening. "I'm getting so much better," Lapis says gritting her teeth as her finger enters with slippery ease.

Peridot finds her hand slipping under the waistband of her sweatpants pulling them slightly down where you could see her trim. Sliding her finger effortlessly from watching for too long, jilling themselves crazy in front of each other. When they weren't using eye contact, their eyes explored one another in steamy passion, nipples going hard as rocks, making a mess of themselves for visual stimulation.

Peridot walks closer to her unable to hang back but still able to finger herself to high heaven. Her free hand embraced Lapis' face deep into each other's eyes, Lapis whispers, "I'm sorry for everything," Lapis said as sincere as possible.

"I'm sorry too, can we ride out this storm not being at each others throats?" Peridot asks.

"Let's get you cleaned up first," Lapis says.

She agrees and does not question it.

Lapis walks past her leaving a seductive trail to follow. "Strip," Lapis sits on the bed and waits for her, Peridot takes her time in the dim lit room, so much time Lapis decides to help her out. Peridot stood there naked giving in to Lapis' carnal needs for affection.

Lapis took some soap pads and began to clean Peridot's body of dirt leaving a pleasant berry scent.

Carefully copping feels and not missing a spot, except for Peridot's blooming flower swelling up from the attention or lack thereof. She moans softly at Lapis' outrageous teasings. Unable to touch herself knowing Lapis will end the sponge bath completely, she only whimpers out for more love and certain attention.

Lapis praises the methodical ways Peridot carries herself, it just works and does it so good for Lapis . Even in the past if time could tell beautiful moments spent among adolescence, just the two of them counting on one another to get a step further in life.

Lapis holds Peridot still using her free arm knowing she's sensitive to titplay. All it took one fast swipe against both nubs with the damp cloth made Peridot shutter nicely against her. Peridot cooed from the wet flesh draft breaking out goosebumps on her chest. Her breasts were all clean now and Peridot considered that a fact until her groping became aggressive making her cry out for Lapis' mercy.

The dry bath exfoliating her skin baby soft, her arms and back tender to her girlfriend's hungry touches. Those hands found her fairly petite ass and begun massaging deep under the cleft bring her on her toes. Enjoying the sight of Peridot's soaking wet thigh gap the cloth hasn't cleaned yet.

Filled with the drunken musk of arousal, Peridot's legs give out and lands back onto the bed. Lapis climbs on top of her ass first until her dripping slit fills her entire vision. She tucks her hands under to spread her lips wide to find her minuscule clitoris. Lapis places her tongue flat on the nub causing a squeal or two spawning from her crotch.

Peridot catches on to her salacious act. She darts her tongue in return tasting acidic taste she learned to love the past few years. Lapis arches her hips against her tongue even paused pleasing her back as stimulation over powers the senses.

Peridot takes Lapis in her mouth, the scratch of pubis raked harder on her cheek as she gets deep into her lover's guts. Lapis delivers a ragged breath out loud to the intense action. That gave a smile on Peridot's behalf finding herself at awe at how potent her work is receiving in return.

Lapis dives a finger in her wet folds as a rebuttal and Peridot moans inside her seizing pussy. The lovers did their very best turning each other out in a fluid heavy presentation.

Peridot's tongue tingles her intimate flesh. Her nose tickles the harden nub at the crest of her labia. Lapis has two fingers in the mouth of Peridot's sex pushing forward in approval as her time becomes numbered.

"ALMOSt there, don't stop!" Lapis announces to muffled sounds of consent below her.

Lapis grabs her boob to rock out the devastating orgasm on Peridot's face. Lapis screams in desperation to have finger move faster causing eyes below to roll to the back of her head.

The two gays received the flush of lust as they share sudden cries and cum in unison. They had gone for what seemed like hours only to end up in an entanglement of satisfaction.

The couple cuddled close together letting the wind force rock the house to sleep with the hard patter of rain became white noise to the snuggled survivors.

Peridot only shared thirty minutes inside of Lapis' spoon who had already dozed off first when they finished. If only they were awake to witness their home being flooded as time goes on. Unfortunately, the house didn't sustain high flood waters that devastated the entire neighborhood.

The entire floor is five feet deep in dirty water, destroying their stuff in the process. Their worst nightmare is happening while they had just shard a good dream filled with romantic nonsenses.

Peridot's eyes shot open to the sounds of flowing water below. She wakes up hard, harder than she ever had in her life, practically springs out of bed waking Lapis up.

Peridot ran wearing only her panties, just to see if her suspicions were correct, she went for the door scaring Lapis.

"Peri? what's going on!"

Peridot didn't answer only to be horrified at the fact that her entire first floor turned into poorly managed swimming pool.

"Fuck me, it's coming through the goddamn doggie door!" she deducts from the staircase after seeing a stream of rushing water coming from the kitchen doggy hatch door floating on the surface of the water.

Peridot ran back in her room,"Were taking on water downstairs," she told Lapis, head for the attic," Peridot yanks the cord connected to the attic door springing forth a ladder, " Peridot got in her wetsuit and goggle.

"What are you going do?" Lapis says grabbing her robe, "The house is already flooded, whatever your going back for isn't worth it."

Peridot couldn't assert an appropriate response, only pulled Lapis close to what may be her last kiss. Then a look only someone like Lapis could understand, Peridot breaks the kiss and runs out the door. Lapis climbed the ladder up to the attic.

How could I have forgotten my grandma's ring, I'm such a fuck up, Peridot thought beating her self up for past ignorance. She regains her hope going back downstairs to see most of her appliances and furniture submerged in murky water.

She enters into the water on the last steps, and wades down to the lower level with hear head poking through the surface. Paddling to the kitchen, she climbs onto the counter island to stand and search for the precious black box. She felt the water increasing on her ankles by the second in her spastic shuffle, having it be pitch black was definite problem to deal with.

Remembering the emergency flashlight placed on top of the oven vent made her inch closer to the edge and jump back into the pool.

She managed a climb on the wall facing cabinetry, to slip, fall and slam her head on the marble. Peridot falls violently back into the depths...in the corner of her heavy eyelids as the water whisks her body down...that little black box...in her reach, more darkness. Until, her limit broke again, gasping for air yet holding her box tight.

"There she is!"

Lapis perks up seeing her lifeless girlfriend floating out of the house from the kitchen. Some men wearing life jackets comes to her rescue hoisting her body on motorized boat with sirens. One guy performed CPR, Peridot coughed all the water resting her lungs, making Lapis emotional.

Peridot looks around to see that she was outside on a boat in her neighborhood as the rain settles in the distance, Lapis along with the dispatched national guard team breathe sighs of relief knowing her life was saved.

Lapis takes Peridot in her arms, "I thought I lost in you there," Lapis' voice broke, "for good this time," Lapis fought back her tears. The boat began to move again, heading west to an evacuation site.

Peridot realized she hadn't let go of the engagement ring in her time under. She figured now is as good of a time than any, she gives the box to Lapis, "Peri..." she says, "I don't understand?"

"Open it," Peridot said strained, "I wasn't going to leave without it," Lapis opens the box and finds a 40 karat diamond ring. "It belonged to my grandma," Peridot added.

"Aww the gay one?" Lapis smiled when she asked, "Yes the gay one. Lapis, will you marry -" a pair of lips crashed onto hers before she could finish as Lapis gave her the wettest 'yes' in history, Lapis breaks the kiss and fits the ring on her finger, then the sweet whispers of gratitude came as the boat rocked them further up the street and away from their damaged place.
