Bringing Lewis to the beach has to be one of the best decisions that Nico has ever made.
A few days ago, Lewis had told him that he had never been to a beach as a child like it was nothing. "Seriously?! Oh god, we need to plan a trip immediately!" After a few days, this was the fruit of their hard labour.
Nico was happily reading a book under a parasol that was brought after great consideration. Well, he was half reading the book, anyway. He was more focused on savouring the picturesque moment in front of him, which consisted of the Brit's bare back, illuminated by the sun.
"God, why does he have to look this pretty?" Nico says, completely enamoured by the 2-time World Champion in front of him.
However, he seemed to have failed at keeping his voice low as Lewis's head quickly perked up, having heard Nico's voice. "Huh? You need anything?" Lewis mumbled softly, having just woken up a few seconds ago. Nico was taken aback by the sound of his lover's voice, but replied nevertheless. "Oh, no, Schatz, I don't need anything. Just go back to sleep, hmm?" The latter responded with a soft hum before dropping his head down with a soft thump.
After a short while, Nico slowly got up from his folding chair. It was slowly getting darker, and it would be better to go home.
He gently set a hand on Lewis's now-already-tanned shoulder before weakly shaking him. "Baby, we have to go now. It's dark and it's comfier at home, no?" Thankfully, his significant other quickly aroused, looking around before giving him a sloppy smile.
"Sweetheart, you look extra pretty today. Did you do anything?" He had said in a sleepy trance, not knowing the effect his words had on the other.
Nico's cheeks were tinted a shade of red, his blush quickly spreading to his neck. Thankfully, the lighting wasn't that good, so Lewis didn't see him.
"No, I didn't do anything, darling. You're just spewing nonsense since you're drowsy. Get up and let me pack, yeah?" Nico replied quickly, not wanting them to come back so late. "Mhm.." Lewis said, rolling off the beach towel. "Hey, don't do that! You're gonna get sand on your body!" Nico immediately helped Lewis to stand up and delicately brushed the sand off of his torso.
As they were in the car on the way home, Lewis had happily put his head outside the window. Nico had tried to coax him to stop, but alas, his attemps were futile. "Baby, you're gonna get your head cut off!" He had said in a teasing tone. Thankfully, the traffic in Monaco at night, wasn't too bad, so he had less then a 20% chance of dying, but still!
After everything was sorted, Nico had climbed into bed, searching for his partners figure. He found that Lewis was already half-asleep. "You're like a koala, you know that?" He chuckled, wrapping both his arms around Lewis's waist. "Always sleeping.."
Without knowing, Nico had already dozed off..
