Author's notes: So I'd like to state something about this particular chapter, things get a little raunchy. Nothing M rating, at least I think, though I could be wrong and am willing to boost the rating because of this chapter alone. But I assure you, dear reader, nothing will get more steamier than this, so in the event that I do have to boost the rating this is the most you will ever get from me. So don't set your expectaions too high.

The Beach

It's summer time, and today was quite the scorcher, the forecast predicted an all day heatwave, so what better way to beat the heat then to go to the beach?

"Are we there yet?" Ryuji let out exhaustingly. Today the Phantom Thieves were on a beach trip. The list of people included: Ryuji, Ren, Ann, Morgana, Yusuke, Makoto, and Futaba. All packed into a van heading towards the sandy waterfront. "It's so freaking hot!" Ryuji felt as if he was melting in the backseat, as he laid across Ren and Yusuke.

"You know, Ryuji, it's really unsafe to be laying down in a moving vehicle." Makoto said, eyeing the rear view mirror watching the boy.

"But the sun'll melt on me if I sit up. You're an expert diver, I'll be fine."

Makoto raised a brow and slammed on the brakes causing Ryuji to roll forward, hitting the middle seats and dropping to the floor. Everyone else just felt a slight tug as their seatbelts kept them in place, aside from Morgana who was held by Futaba.

"AAAAH! What was that about?!"

"Oh I'm sorry, must have been the wrong pedal. SEATBELT. NOW."

Ryuji scrambled to his seat and buckled himself in, on second thought it wasn't so hot after all.

…

The Beach wasn't as packed as the group thought it would be. There were plenty of goers but the waterfront wasn't cram packed like a can of sardine, more than enough room for a group as large as theirs to settle down comfortably. The guys had just finished setting up their spot: beach chairs for everyone, parasols set up to provide shade, towels all laid out, and a cooler full of drinks.

"Fwehu." Ryuji wiped the set from his brow. "Now that that is taken care of…" He began to lift his shirt collar above his head but was stopped by Makoto part way through.

"You know that there are changing rooms, right?"

"Eh, I'm wearing my swimming trunks underneath so it's fine."

"Nooo. You're essentially stripping in public you know. You're gonna make a spectacle of yourself, whether you mean to or not."

"Well maybe I should." He was grinning eagerly. "Maybe some girls will like what they see."

"Absolutely not!" Makoto said this louder than she meant. She winced, noticing her volume and looked around and took note that a few people were looking in their way. "Just go to the changing room."

"Urg! Fine."

It didn't take that long for the guys to get changed so now they were just waiting for the girls to finish changing.

"So," Ryuji started, he was sitting as he finished applying sunscreen. "before the girls get back, what do you say we go look for some beach beauties?"

"I'll have to pass." Yusuke held up a hand. "A senpai I knew once said that the beach is full of inspiration to draw from. I wish to see if I'll be inspired by anything I find."

"Ooo, let me come too." All three looked at Morgana, surprised. "I don't really care about the whole art thing. What if you find some really good fish? Like Yellowtail, or Tuna?" He looked up at Ren. "Can you loan me some money, Ren? Pretty please?" Ren rolled his eyes, he walked over to his bag and began searching for his wallet.

"So Ren, you'll join me right?"

"Eh, not really." He found his wallet and handed it to Morgana. "No crazy spending."

"No worries. I owe you big time for this, Ren." He said this before holding the wallet in his mouth.

"What?" Now Ryuji was shocked. "Come on man, you're single and good looking. If we're each other's wingmen we'll be able to find some girls."

Ren paused, there was absolutely no way he was going to go with Ryuji to hit on girls when he was committed to Ann, there had to be a way to convince Ryuji to go by himself.

"Remember those girls when we went to the fireworks festival?"

"Yeah? What about 'em?"

"Well they kinda ignored you, didn't they? I don't wanna accidentally steal your chances of getting with any girls. If you go by yourself you'll know that they're attracted to you because it's only you."

"You make a convincing point. So what are you gonna do then?"

"I'll just wait for the girls to get back, someone should stay with the stuff. Maybe go for a swim afterwards."

"Well alright then." With that he sat up, ear to ear grin plastered on his face. "Next time you see me it's gonna be with a girl. Catcha later guys." He waved them off as he headed in the general direction of the beach goers.

"Well then, if you're going to be staying here I shall go as well." Yusuke zipped up his jacket part way and allowed Morgana to jump in. He put his hands in his jacket pocket to help support him. "I must say your fur feels incredibly soft."

"Please don't make this weird."

Ren laughed softly at their antics as he watched them go. He finished putting away his things, putting his glasses in his bag, when he heard a voice behind him.

"We're back."

He turned to greet them but felt his voice catch in his throat. The three had changed into their swimwear. Makoto wore a white two piece: a top that went around the back and tied behind the neck and front with a white bow, and a swim skirt over her bottoms. Futaba wore a yellow two piece with pineapples adorned on it like polka dots. The top was a lot more frilly and covered her chest similar to a crop top. She wore a swim skirt similar to Makoto. Ren's gaze, however, was solely mesmerized by Ann. She wore a two piece bikini much like the other two but that's where the similarities ended. Both the top and bottom were teal, addorned with flowers of varying colors. Her top was a similar design to Makoto's, wrapping around the back and tieing at the neck but with no bow, it really fit her to a 't'. Her bottoms held by tied strings at the hip, hiding not a centimeter of her legs, they seemed to hug her generously. It took a lot for Ren not to blush but he couldn't look away.

"Wow, you girls look really lovely."

Ann giggled, arms behind her back and slightly leaned towards Ren.

"You look pretty good yourself. Right girls?"

Makoto nodded, rubbing her arm and looked away from Ren, a light pink adorned her cheeks.

"Are you going through a training arc, Ren?" Futaba's question was able to snap him out of the hypnosis Ann had inadvertently put him under. He raised a brow. "Have you checked yourself out as of late? You're looking jacked my guy." Jacked might have been a bit of a stretch. Whenever he wasn't working a part time job or building meaningful relationships with the people he met, Ren would often be working out, be it at home or at the gym. His muscle definition was as clear as day, not body builder levels mind you but they were definitely eye-catching and his body was fit, outlines of a developing six pack were starting to bud.

Makoto cleared her throat, wanting to change the subject before she turned a few shades darker. "So where are the others?"

"Oh, Yusuke took Morgana to find some inspiration for his art and Ryuji went to flirt with girls."

Makoto rolled her eyes. "Of course Ryuji would do that. We're going to go see if we can rent out the banana boats."

"Actually you girls go on without me." Ann said. "I forgot to bring my sunscreen to the changing room."

"Alrighty then, we'll just come back for ya once we finish up our recon mission."

The two girls walked away now leaving the undisclosed couple with their things. Ann dug through her things and found the sunscreen with relative ease but a thought had occurred to her. She needed someone to get her back. Sure she could do it herself but it was such a pain and hassle and the girls were already out of sight so asking them was a no go. But that didn't mean she was out of options.

"Hey Ren," his ears perked up, his attention was hers. "could you help me out with something real quick?"

…

Ann layed on her stomach, arms folded in front of her and legs moving lazily up and down. She laid underneath the red parasol on top of a blue and pink floral patterned towel. Ren sat on his knees, sitting at her side with a bottle of sunscreen in his hands, staring at her back.

"You want me to put sunscreen on you?"

"That's right. Can't really get my back by myself and all and since you're here you can put it on for me."

Though he didn't show it, Ren was very hesitant. "You sure you don't want me to go get Makoto or Futaba to do this."

She waved her hand, dismissing the thought. "No, no, it's fine. They're over at the boats anyway, besides… I trust you…" She said the last part more quietly. She understood how it would look if anyone in their group saw this so she figured why Ren was hesitant but she knew how considerate the man is and how he would never even dare to touch her in a way she didn't want. It's why she found it so easy to turn to him for this. "Make sure you get everywhere, the modeling agency told me not to get any tan lines for my upcoming shoots. Thanks again Ren."

There didn't seem to be a way out of this so he took a breath, steeling his nerves. "Just leave it to me."

She could hear the squirting of the bottle and sounds of him lathering up his hands with its contents. This is nice, her skin would be protected from the sun, she'd join up with the girls to go on the boats, just some innocent, family friendly- "Cold!" Her head jerked up, the small hairs on her body all stood at attention as Ren's cooled hands pressed themselves on her sun heated lower back. "Sorry…" She could hear him trying to stifle his amusement. He started once more, his hands tracing the outlines of her back as he gently rubbed in the protective cream.

His firm hands applied the most gentlest of pressure, his fingers like wisps gliding across her. Her breathing was starting to go ragged, her hands gripped the towel beneath her, she could feel the beginnings of something stirring inside her- wasn't he just supposed to be putting lotion on her?! His hands slipped underneath her bikini strap as he went to apply the lotion to her upper back. A gasp escaped her lips, hands instinctively covered her mouth- what was that?!

"You doing alright?" He stopped, his hands hadn't left her. Was he aware of the effect he was having on her? He was almost done with her back, right? She could just tell him that she could take care of the rest. But this feeling, this sensation, his heavenly touch~. "I-I'm fine. J-ust keep go-ing." She stammered, this was feeling good, like really good.

He continued his hand movements, working his way up to her shoulder blades, his fingers dipping over them allowing his palms to smooth in the lotion. She bit down on the towel, now desperately trying to fight off the moan that threatened to leave her lips. As he moved on to her neck her shoulders heaved up and down, the sensation she felt began to grow warmer in the pits of her stomach, he had to know just what it was he was doing to her. And like that she felt his hands leave her body, she let out a low, nearly inaudible, whine as she craned her neck to look at Ren.

"Do you also want me to…" He referred to the bikini bottom, playing with the tied stings closest to him. Given her current situation it only made sense that she would take care of it herself and not run the risk of anything compromising happening. "Y-Ye-ah. T-That t-too…" Guess that meant logic was out the window. "Y-you can t-t-take it off. J-ust not too mu-ch…" Guess that meant decency was out the window too.

Ren visibly swallowed, though his facial expression didn't show it, his hands were trembling. Putting sunscreen on someone wasn't supposed to be this… stimulating. He remembered Ann saying she wanted to tone up, straighten out her back and firm up her… His gaze was transfixed on the cloth that sealed away two hills with a valley hidden between them. "The tender touch of a soft butt…!" Damnit! Why were Morgana's ridiculous words in his head right now?! Now was NOT the time for pervy thoughts, that was easily a slippery slide down to a pitched tent and there was no way he was having that. He took a deep breath and exhaled through his nostrils, empty head, no pervy thoughts. He began with the knotted end farthest from him, he slowly pulled the string watching the knot shrink until it became undone. Now for the other knot, why did it feel like he was in an oven?!

Ann had her face to the towel, that feeling in her stomach having built up within her now waiting to burst forth. Though the lighting of the parasol hid it, she could feel her face become a deep scarlet and that the longer this took the more she could feel the coloring spread. She could feel the ties of her bikini bottom be undone, she bit her lip in an effort to keep any unwarranted noises from escaping, this anticipation was becoming too much- wait, anticipation? He was just putting sunscreen on her, this should be completely normal! But his wondrous touch made her feel so good and now she was going to feel those strong hands all over her- she shook her head vigorously. Don't think like that! He's just putting on sun-!

"Aaah~!" She could feel them, the objects of her elation now smoothing over her bountiful hills. Like a system shock, the sensation she felt overwhelmed her as the surprised gasp escaped her lips, her vocals paralysed by the pleasure she felt in this moment, and like that it was over. She hadn't known how long it had gone for, her sense of time dilated by her closing her eyes to become immersed in the feeling, but she no longer felt that pleasure once she felt the cloth return to cover the hills. Before she could even voice her displeasure she could feel his hands return to her once more as they moved about her thighs. "Mmm~" Her mind was now consumed in a fog of pleasure, the feeling that stirred within her having long since erupted, it refused to allow her inhibitions to not vocalize the rapture she felt. Another sigh of bliss left her lips as he traveled down to her calf and an ecstatic moan left her as he moved to the other leg. This was such a fantastic idea.

"There…" Ren's hands left her legs and he quickly went to retie her bikini bottom as he once saw them, her entire backside was fully sunscreened. Ren was essentially panting now, face and shoulders being equally red as the parasol, his task complete, the slide avoi-

"Wait…" Slowly, Ann turned onto her back, her forearms supporting her, she looked at Ren with half closed eyelids, panting as if she was short of breath. "I… need… you… to get… the other… side…"

His eyes widened and he slowly nodded in response, slides were meant to be slid. He reapplied the cream to his hands and set about applying it to Ann, now traveling up from the legs. He could see it all: her heavy panting breaths, every moan and gasp that escaped her, the sultry look in her eyes. It was as if something had awakened within her and it beckoned to him… it was as if it hungered for him. Just focus! His hands made their way up past her waist, ready to continue when-

"Ren~..." He stopped, her voice beckoned him and as if hypnotized he obliged. His eyes slowly panned up from her stomach, past her curvaceous chest, and finally met her gaze once more. A sense of longing, a newly awoken hunger looked back at him, he swore he could even make out hearts in her pupils. He crawled closer to her, his left hand placed on the towel between her right forearm and side, his right placed a few inches away from her head if she were to lay. He was practically on top of her, her left leg lay between his straightened and knelt one's, the other slightly arched. They could feel the other's hot breath as he dipped down, his forehead touching hers, they bore into each other conveying their lust and want in just their gaze alone. Their lips were only centimeters apart, what more could two lovers want as the distance between them would become non existant-

"Mama look! They're like you and papa!"

"Now sweetie…"

The callout from the child broke whatever spell the two had been placed under, their eyes widened as they remembered where they were and realization had hit them as they became aware of their surroundings. While their location had ample space they were privy to prying eyes. Some didn't notice them, others pretended not to but were clearly watching them, and the rest were out right staring at them, the varying looks of envy, disgust, and amusement etched onto their faces.

'"You're gonna make a spectacle of yourself, whether you mean to or not."'

Those words echoed in their heads as the scarlet hue that adorned their faces increased in saturation and spread itself across their backs. Everyone at present had a screening to a private show known as 'Two Horney Teens' featuring Ren Amamiya and Ann Takamaki. Ren threw himself off of Ann, landing himself on the sand and out of the shade, panic and embarrassment etched onto his face. Ann covered herself with her arms, her facial expression mirrored Ren's. Both stammered to make coherent words, being unable to make out a single word to the other. They looked away from each other, the sand grains looked rather interesting at this moment.

"Th-thanks for that- the sunscreen! Thanks for putting on the sunscreen, I mean!" That came out louder than she wanted.

"Of course," He moved a hand through his hair, moving the hair that blocked his vision. "my pleasure- I mean no pressure! It was no problem at all…" He chuckled nervously, he still sat in the sand, his legs arched and his arms stretched down in the space between them and he stared at the space his hands occupied. "So, um… are you…"

"Oh, uh…" She'd be lying to herself if she said she didn't want him to continue but, as she was so graciously reminded, they were in public. "I-I can take care of the rest…"

"A-alright I-I'll just go for a swim…" As he got up and left, Ann noted that he seemed to be walking strangely, hands in his swimming trunk's pockets was nothing new but he kinda seemed to be waddling rather than walking and his posture seemed to be slightly hunched over.

While she for one could never live down how stimulating it felt to have Ren's hands all over her, a thought occurred to her that Ren might have enjoyed it just as much. She applied sunscreen to her face, hoping this would cool her down, thinking like that wouldn't do anything for her body consuming blush or her rapidly beating heart.

"Hey Ann!" She jumped slightly, looking out to the voice that called her she saw Makoto and an arm waving Futaba. "We were able to rent a banana boat! Wanna join us?"

"C-coming!" She mentally chastised herself for her choice of words. "J-just finishing up!" She took a few extra minutes before meeting with the girls hoping that her skin pigment would return to normal but to no avail seeing as Mokoto had asked her if she had already burned. She made a note to never ask Ren to put sunscreen on her… or at least only if they decide to go to the beach alone.
