The long-awaited summer vacation has finally arrived, and with it, plenty of free time to have some fun. After toiling away through the rest of the year, best friends Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Yamatonokami Yasusada decided that it would be great to take a trip to the beach.
Just the two of them, at peace and--
"--Wait, Kiyomitsu! Why did you bring Norimune along again?!"
Kashuu gave a petulant little huff in response, his body almost fully covered up including sunglasses and a hat, which probably made him feel much hotter temperature-wise than if he had been wearing proper beach attire.
"He's my sponsor. Of course I had to bring him."
"Huh...Is that what they're calling it nowadays?" Magoroku Kanemoto contemplated, being in charge of carrying everyone's belongings including Kashuu's, with barely enough room to see ahead of him through his own sunglasses.
"Hey! You brought someone with you as well, and here you are complaining about me, you hypocrite!" Kashuu stuck his tongue out at Yasusada, just now realizing that he'd been had, though he couldn't complain much about Magoroku's presence, because if it wasn't for him then he'd need to carry his own things which would be a real travesty.
Norimune was dressed quite similarly to Kashuu, except that considering their age difference, his clothes were more fit for an old man. Between his floral shirt and his hat, he looked just like a stereotypical tourist. He didn't seem to take offense at being called a sponsor, because it was true that he spent more money on Kashuu than he probably should.
Thankfully the beach wasn't too crowded on the day they chose, and they were able to find a nice spot to set down their things, such as their parasols and towels. Kashuu was more than quick to take his bottle of sunscreen out of his beach bag and grin at Yasusada, their non-verbal communication already advanced enough for them to understand each other perfectly - and Yasusada didn't seem too pleased.
"No way in hell! If I do your back, that means that Kane will have to do your old man's, and those hands will not touch anyone other than me!"
Magoroku laughed from his spot, taking the opportunity to wrap one arm around Yasusada's waist and pull him closer possessively, nuzzling the top of his head.
"Ahyahyahya! That's some aggression, but I can't say that I mind." The taller male winked at his partner as Kashuu quickly gave up on the idea and went to whine at Norimune instead.
They all applied the sunscreen, especially at Kashuu's insistence - not wanting to look like shrimps by the time they went back home. Once it was all done, after thoroughly enjoying what was essentially an improvised back massage from his partner, Kashuu decided it was time to lie down and relax.
Or maybe not, because Yasusada was tugging him insistently by the hand, asking to go into the water, and since he had two hands he was tugging Kanemoto with the other. If he had three, he'd probably be pulling Norimune as well, who was just watching and laughing at 'today's youth'.
Kashuu rolled his eyes and finally removed his hat and shirt, begrudgingly accepting his best friend's suggestion. The three of them, sans Norimune, made their way to the sea. But not without first burning the soles of their feet once they removed their flip-flops.
"Ahhhh! Kane! My feet are on fire! I'm burning, I'm gonna die!" Yasusada jumped dramatically up and down while trying to leap into his lover's arms without success.
"I'm not going to carry you! You think my own feet are doing fine?! I'm just not whining about it!"
"Yasusada this is all your fault, I didn't want to come, you dragged me, look, Norimune is doing perfectly fine back there, aaaahhhh!"
They very quickly quieted down as their feet touched the refreshing water, with Yasusada in the middle still holding both of their hands. Even Kashuu was able to relax and enjoy himself playing in the water, although he wished that his old man had joined them. The water was nice, he had good company, but the day wouldn't stop throwing curveballs at him.
A wave-shaped curveball this time. A larger-than-usual wave which came from out of nowhere and essentially wiped out the three of them mercilessly, to the point where they were left considerably disoriented by the time it receded. Magoroku was sitting on the sand laughing his butt off, Kashuu was checking to see if the sea hadn't taken his earrings, and Yasusada was whining at the feeling of sand in every conceivable part of his body.
"I don't wanna do this anymore. Kane, I'm going home."
"The hell you aren't!" Kanemoto quickly got up and ran towards Yasusada, attacking him with tickles, and making him let out the cutest laughter.
Kashuu sighed jealously as he watched them, but soon felt himself being hugged, by Norimune who had come to see what happened and make sure that everyone was doing fine.
"You're all so lively today..." He said absent-mindedly, patting Kashuu's wet and salty hair, but the other just ended up laughing, and soon all four of them were, turning a bad situation into a great memory.
The rest of the day was spent in good fun, with a way too competitive game of beach volleyball that ended up in a draw for the sake of everyone involved, some sandcastle building, and having lunch and snacks together. It ended up with the two couples watching the sunset, each one holding hands with their respective partners, happy as they could be.
"Kiyomitsu?"
"Yes, Yasusada?"
"Best. Summer vacation. Ever!"
