A few weeks passed and it was time to head out on the Makara, Nitram Vacation. They all piled in their respected vehicles and drove from the early morning to a late afternoon. Once at the hotel they checked in and went to their rooms. "Dad?" Tavros asked timidly as he wheeled around the room. "Yes my little bullfighter?" Rufioh said as he turned his attention to his son as he placed their suitcases on one of the beds. "C-can I room w-with Gamzee?" The young Taurus asked as he looked up at his dad. The elder Nitram thought it over for a moment, "Well its not really up to me, its up to Mr. Makara and Gamzee. But out of curiosity, why do you wanna room with Gamzee?" The man asked as he placed one hand on his hip with a smile on his lips. The little Nitram blushed and rolled back and forth, "well he's m-my best f-friend. S-so I want to room w-with him is a-all." Rufioh chuckled and pulled his phone out to call the Elder Makara's phone. As it rang he walked around the room to look out into the beach. "Hey little fairy, what's happening?" "He wants to room with Gamzee. Is that okay with you?" Rufioh said into the receiver. "Uuuh, where would that leave me?" Kurloz asked not really wanting to give up his bed. "Well I was thinking I could head up there and Gamzee can come down here. That way we can all have a bed to sleep on. Is that fine?" The elder Nitram asked as he looked to his son with a smile. "Well you are the one who played for this so its fine with me." The elder Makara sounded happy as he hollered at Gamzee not to unpack.

Rufioh unpacked Tavros' close quickly and kissed his forehead before lugging his suitcases out into the hall. Gamzee was getting out of the elevator and speed walking right to Rufioh with a big smile on his face. "Heh heh! See you in the lobby in a few minutes." The elder Nitram said as he passed the young Capricorn whom nodded in agreement. The elder Nitram road the elevator up to the third floor before walking out into the empty hall way. He looked around the empty narrow hall as he made his way to the Makara's room. The door to the room was open so Rufioh let himself in and closed the door before looking across the room to see Kurloz without a shirt. The elder Nitram blushed deeply and looked down to his bag, "Heh, okay so what bed is your's?" The Nitram man asked as he picked up the luggage he had and moved in between the two beds. "I like the window view so you are closest to the door. That okay?" The Capricorn man said with a smile. Rufioh chuckled as he placed his bag down on the bed and began unpacking. "So I see that you got 'Stitches' over your scars. Nice reminder of the healing process." Rufioh chuckled as he pointed out. Kurloz chuckled before moving to the elder Nitram with a wide crooked smile, "That and stitches look sexy as hell on me am I right?" Rufioh looked at him and chuckled again, "Right. Is it because it makes you look tough? The world may never know." The elder Nitram moved his finger quickly to press it against the tip of the other mans nose and without missing a beat Kurloz let out a soft, "Honk." Rufioh couldn't hold back his laughter as he held his stomach and let out the most genuine hardy chuckle.

Kurloz moved to one of the dressers he claimed and pulled out his swimming trunks, "So are we gonna hit the beach or what Rufioh?" The Nitram turned around with his arms full of folded clothing. The Nitram froze a as he saw the elder Makara taking off his entire lower clothing reveling a muscular rump bending over. He tried not to stare as he moved passed him to put his cloths away. "Well I did tell the boys to meet us at the lobby, so yes, we will. Let me get these cloths put up and change before we go." Rufioh tried to say confidently as he finished up. Kurloz grumbled anxiously wanting to be gone already but figured he could wait a little more. The Capricorn lounged on his bed as he waited with his eyes shut. His purple and black stripped swim trunks hugged his hips firmly. "Makara grab a towel, and let's go." Rufioh chimed as he placed a hand on his hip with a dry towel on his shoulder. Kurloz looked over at the shorter man and his jaw dropped slightly seeing Rufioh in red swim trunks. The light coming from the window behind the tan man made him look heavenly. His eyes wondered down taking in the other mans thin muscular body before seeing the copper colored male tramp stamp around his belly button just above a thin happy trail. "So are you gonna come or not?" Rufioh asked again as he moved to the door ready to go. "Yeah I just.." Kurloz began as he stood up. The taller mans indigo eyes still following the Taurus spotted another tattoo and couldn't help but admire it, "Whoa... Nice wings."

Rufioh turned his head and looked down his back before chuckling, "Oh, this? Thanks. It took a long time to get them done." He pulled off the towel to show off his black bordered multicolored wings tattoo. They were beautiful and the cool blues and purples contrasted well with the warm yellows and pinks. Kurloz moved to the shorter man and gently ran his fingertips down one of the wings causing the other man to shiver. "Sorry... They are... Just so beautiful." Kurloz muttered as he pulled his hand away from the other man's back. They looked at each other for a moment before heading down to the lobby. Gamzee and Tavros were there already dressed in their bathing suit's. Tavros' suit was copper brown and Gamzee's was black with purple polka dots. The teens eyes lit up with joy as they looked at their dad's excitedly, before the young Capricorn grabbed the gigantic white unicorn floaty and bounced where he stood, "Come on! We have been waiting forever and I wanna throw Tavros in the ocean!" Tavros just smiled at his friends comment and nodded to the two adults. "Okay, okay I get it. You two go on ahead and we will catch up." Kurloz excused the boys whom excitedly ran out of the lobby then across the street to the beach. Gamzee half-hazardly rolled Tavros to the beach. Rufioh chuckled and rolled his eyes, "You know they are just gonna end up leaving that chair in the sand and we are gonna have to pull it out." Kurloz shrugged with a lazy smile on his face, "I will be worth it to see the hero having fun." As the two men talked and walked they ran into the discarded wheelchair. The sand claimed an inch of the tires before it looked like they gave up trying to get it closer to the water.

Rufioh tugged his son's chair out of the sand and moved it closer to the water but far enough to not get splashed. Kurloz was the first to used the chair as a resting place for their towel and sunblock. Rufioh laid in the sand looking up at the clear blue sky. Kurloz sat there looking to the ocean and thinking about the times his wife found Gamzee after he would 'run away'. His eyes wondered down to Gamzee and Tavros, playfully splashing each other. Tavros looked really happy as he sat on the unicorn floaty as Gamzee spun him. When the elder Makara looked to Rufioh again he saw him standing up and dusting off the sand from his body. Before Kurloz could say anything Rufioh cupped his hands around his mouth and bellowed loudly, "Horuss! Equius! This way!" Kurloz stood quickly and looked around the beach in the direction Rufioh was facing. His eyes scanning around before spotting the two Zahhak's walking casually over to them. Rufioh began running down to meet them. The elder Nitram chuckled and leaped into the tall mans arms causing Horuss to dropped his beach gear in surprise to catch the other man. "It is a delight to see you once again, Rufioh. I must confess you look exceptionally breathtaking in your swimming suit." The elder Zahhak complimented with a nervous smile on his lips. The elder Nitram smiled as he looked up at the taller man, "Well thank you so much! And might I say, you look very handsome in your blue number yourself." Equius stood next to the two adult men hugging and flirting a bit nervously. Rufioh moved to the tall teen and patted his head gently, "Hey, there cuteness, my name is Rufioh Nitram. Its nice to finally meet you."

Equius slapped Rufioh's hand away a bit roughly, "Don't touch me without my approval." Rufioh looked to Horuss with a serious face before the elder Zahhak nodded to him. Equius looked between the two men before Rufioh pulled the tall teen by his forearm, "Listen up, I don't appreciate your behavior at the moment. I'm sure if you continue on this current path you will not appreciate either. Do you comprehend what I'm attempting to convey to you?" Equius shook where he stood and nervously began to sweat, "Ah, Y-yes sir." Rufioh smiled and gave Equius a big hug, and chuckled, "Oh, you're too cute to stay mad at." As they made their way to the wheel chair where Kurloz stood they set up a large parasol and a big beach blanket and the two seats. The third teen ran over to Gamzee greeting him with a small wave before being splashed by the two in the water. Horuss smiled as he opened the blue cooler and removed a few beers before passing them out to his friends. "Oh, thanks!" Rufioh smirked as he opened it cautiously and took a sip. Kurloz grumbled as he took one and opened it only to have it spray him in the face. The Taurus and Sagittarius laughed as the Capricorn managed to hold the can out. "My apologises, Kurloz. I dropped the cooler while catching Rufioh so a few might me shaken up." Horuss explained as Kurloz stood up and began walking to the water. "Hey, don't forget to apply sun block. Intact tell the boys to get over here so I can give them some." Rufioh hollered as he put his can down in the sand and reached over to grab the sun block. As Kurloz went into the water he he tolled the three teens to head up for sun block.

The Capricorn went deep into the water and swam around as he relaxed a bit. The cool water felt amazing on his hot skin under the blistering sun. The elder Makara shut his eyes and let his body float for a moment before feeling something tug his arm. He opened his eyes to see Rufioh and Horuss smiling down at him. "Were gonna get drinks after a few hours. You in?" The Taurus asked as he swam around Kurloz. The eldest man stood up in the water and shook the salty sea out of his hair splashing the two men. Rufioh took it as a challenge and jumped on the Capricorn's back forcing him back into the water. The two men wrestled in Tue water for a while before coming up for air. Kurloz glared at Rufioh whom was laughing happily at him. Blush found its way across the tallest mans face before he shoved Rufioh back under the water angrily, "I ain't having any drink with either of you. Someone gotta stay sober." He let the man come up for air before continuing, "I'm gonna swim over there, ALONE." Rufioh glared at Kurloz before swimming over to Horuss, "What is his deal?" As the Taurus looked over to the tall Sagittarius his shoulders shrug and they both looked to Kurloz with confused looks.
