You'll think me odd, but I've always wanted to write a story like this
They laugh a lot in this fic; I may or may not be a bit messed up
Does the US have random supermarkets in the middle of the highway, or is that just an Argentinean thing?
III. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
In the next few hours they find increasingly more risky things to do that get close to being illegal without actually crossing the line; one of said things involves 'borrowing' a shopping cart and riding it down as many slopes as possible, taking turns over who went inside the cart, and then returning it before escaping through the side fence of the shop; another had them almost convincing an entire fast food restaurant of joining in a food fight, only for a well-dressed man to step out of the employees only room, causing the room to fall deathly silent, and leaving Connor and Evan to laugh uncontrollably once he disappears through the same door and everyone resumes what they were doing; amongst other things.
By the time they make it back to the hotel they're breathing wildly, grinning from ear to ear, they throw themselves on their respective beds and start laughing uncontrollably.
Once they finally catch their breath Connor takes out the list from his pocket, since his pockets where the only ones with zippers.
"Next one is spend the day in the beach"
"Ah, that one was both of us"
"Aren't all of them both of us?"
Evan rolls his eyes exaggeratedly, Connor huffs a laugh at his reaction, so he tries something else.
"First skirts then swimsuits, are you trying to seduce me?"
Evan flushes at that.
"Oh shut up"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-{-...-...-.- .-...-..}-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
They wake up very early, so that they can register out of the hotel with time to pick up breakfast at a drive-thru, they actually get from two places because Connor feels like spending his parent's money, and Evan's not going to stop him; he's not very partial to them himself.
One of the breakfast is actually Starbucks, because Connor needs his coffee, the other is McDonald's because Evan likes their orange juice, he's also built somewhat of an appetite while trying to pretend he was doing better.
They drive with the music louder than before, and they don't think they'll ever get rid of the feeling of finally that has fallen upon them. They do this a lot, agree on how they feel about something, it's one of the many reasons why right now, after everything; they are so close to each other.
They stop on a supermarket that serves as a mid-point between them and the nearest beach town, to buy beach supplies, mainly because it's there, though they're going to have to wait until they get to the town if they want a parasol. Connor is still very much intending to waste his parent's money, so he buys two tents, one that's specifically for the beach and the other because he knows Evan too well. They also buy a bunch of snacks, though they are planning on utilizing the beach vendors from most of their food, and a couple puzzle magazines, because that's something people do on the beach.
The move without care, hold themselves like it doesn't matter what happens next, and sure, there's things they want to do before they're gone, and they want some control over how it happens, but they don't mind the idea of dying accidentally.
They make it back to the car, pack everything they bought, and go back to the highway.
