Inspired by: Tadashi giving Honey Lemon a piggyback ride.
It was one of those days where no one could decide what to do.
"Let's watch Godzilla!" Fred suggested for the millionth time.
"NO!" everyone except for Honey shouted for the bazillionth time.
"Um," Honey started softly, getting everyone's attention. "I mean, it's a nice day…why don't we take a trip to the beach?"
Wasabi nodded his head in agreement. "Not a bad idea, Honey. Everyone meet at mine in thirty?" They all nodded and split ways.
When Honey arrived at her place, she packed together a cooler with water bottles and sodas and a bag with a few snacks. She then put on her favorite sunny-yellow swimsuit and bright pink coverup over it. Her hair up in a ponytail, a hat on her head, and a towel slung over her shoulder, she was ready to go. She picked up the cooler and bag of snacks and started walking over to Wasabi's.
Once she arrived, everyone started to pack into his large car and head to the coast. They chatted all the way, Honey switching conversations between people constantly. It was one of the things she took pride in- her ability to keep up multiple conversations at once while not letting people feel like she wasn't listening to them.
Fred usually talked about the same thing, anyway, always trying to convince her to try some new crazy experiment out of a comic book. Gogo was pretty chill and just liked to talk about what they'd been learning in class or plans for the weekend. Conversation with Wasabi was always delightful and varied, which was fun. Tadashi took up most of her attention, though, as they constantly shot teasing remarks back and forth at each other.
When they arrived at the beach, Wasabi politely carried the cooler for Honey and Fred practically stole the bag of snacks. Honey excitedly looked out at the distant beach from the small parking lot, having not been in a while. When she turned to head toward the walkway to the beach, she saw Tadashi bent over.
"Hop on!" he said, motioning to his back.
Honey laughed, complying. She got up on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his stomach. He stood up straight, also laughing, and headed down the walkway. When he got to the beach, he put her down with an infinite amount of gentleness.
"Gosh, Honey, either you're getting heavier or I'm getting weaker," he teased with a wink.
She tossed her hair dramatically. "Are you calling me fat?" she asked incredulously, playing along.
He put his hands in the air. "Oh no, not at all miss. I'm just wondering if you'd be able to carry me, is all," he shot back, giving her a playfully skeptical look.
Honey giggled, bending over as he had earlier. "Well let's see! Your turn for a piggy back ride, mister!" They were both a mess of laughter at this point as he tried to get on her back. She shakily stood up and took a step, but they both tumbled to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Tadashi asked as he tried to stop laughing.
Honey giggled, tossing sand at his face. "Just peachy, mister Hamada."
