Kyoya scowled at the sight of the pair making out it the corner. Gross the boy looked away. Why am I even here? He questioned himself. He had been curious about the gossip he had overheard about the party, but now he found himself quite bored and unfortunately he would have to wait for the boat to dock...whenever that would be. They were far enough from land that Kyoya could just make out the outline of the buildings through the dark.
Kyoya closed his eyes and leaned back against the railing for a moment. Between the loud music, yelling of the girls to wasted to do much of anything and the steady swaying of the boat he was beginning to feel rather sick. Of course the few drinks he had consumed didn't help. He turned so that he could lean over the rail and look into the water. The desire to jump in crossed his mind, but he stayed put, besides it was probably cold.
A pair of footsteps approached the teen. "Hey, yuki look who it is." Kyoya groaned internally Yuki he thought bitterly of his childhood bully.
Meanwhile Madoka shuffled between the people in her way. She was feeling overwhelmed with all these people, music, the pair of boys trying to catch her attention. She was looking for Selen or Hikaru, but was coming up short. Her friends were off doing their own things which left her alone. She regretted coming in fact she was only here because Salens pushy attitude. The sight of more and more dark clouds rolling in also worried the girl, no one else seemed to notice or care.
The brunette made her way down to the lower deck where less people were. She just wanted to get away from them all. It took her a moment but she spotted somewhere she could be relatively alone. What looked to be an old row was floating lazily along with the main boat. Tied to it with a long and worn rope. She didn't hesitate to climb down and take a large step to get in, squealing slightly when her shoe dipped into the water.
She sighed and sat down on the floor. The lingering smell of fish was present but she shook it off. She pulled her legs up to her chest to rest her aching head. She wished she had brought brought something for her head. Her phone buzzed softly in her bag likely her parents checking in for the hundredth time that day. They are so protective she groaned internally. She loved them to death, but she wished she would be allowed some space away from them.
Madoka jerked awake when the weight of another body began to climb into the boat. She had fallen asleep in that position, she didn't know how, but she had. She couldn't of been asleep that long though. Droplets of water splashed onto her as the figure pulled himself in. Coughing as he sat across from her.
"Kyoya?" She questioned as the said boy pulled his soaking sweatshirt off. He responded with an annoyed hum. "what...what were you doing in the water!?"
"Oh, you know just going for a midnight swim." He spoke bitterly, glaring up and the upper deck. Yuki! He cursed, picking in him was one thing, but pushing him overboard was another. He was going to make sure those to got it good when they got back to land. Madoka moved closer to him, sliding of her own jacket to give to him.
"You know that won't fit me."
"Just put it over your shoulders, it's better than nothing." She told him, worry clear in her voice. Light raindrops began to fall.
"You act like you're worried."
"I am worried…" Kyoya looked for a moment before rolling his eyes.
"Why don't you ever talk to me anymore?"
"..." the rained picked up slightly.
"What happened between us? What did I do to make you hate me?"
"I don't hate you" he responded quite enough for her to hear.
"You sure act like it! You ignored my calls, you stopped coming over, you began ignoring me at school!" waves splashed against the boat. "I tried the best I could to be there for you with everything that was going on. I-" Madoka stopped looking up and realizing how windy and rainy it was becoming. She noticed they were finally heading back.
"Lets just get out of here." Kyoya spoke through clenched teeth, holding back the urge to go off on her. Kyoya stood up, walking over to lean and grab the rope to pull them closer to get back onto the lower deck. He stumbled slightly at the feeling of waved pushing against them
"Kyoya…" He ignored her, grabbing hold of the old rope, not realizing just how worn it was. Sanp! Madoka jumped up at the snapping sound the ripe made. "Kyoya!" She yelled in shock. She stumbled as the boat rocked side to side harshly.
Kyoya wasn't sure what to do, the water was getting rougher as the weather worsened. "Madoka get down!" called over the noise, they were being pulled farther away from the shore. Madoka hesitantly got down to her knees as Kyoya did. The brunette felt herself pushed down onto her stomach by Kyoya, who got down next her and placed an arm around her to pull her somewhat under his own body. He spotted the old gray taro stuffed away to the side next to some other things. Kyoya pulled it over their bodies in attempt to keep the rain somewhat off.
Madoka trembled slightly in worry, what was going to happen now? Kyoya picked up on his old friends actions. "It'll be okay…" he mumbled, unsure of himself.
