a day with us in brazil! ft kodzume
The camera blurs for a bit on the ceiling before turning to a wide window displaying the sky outside. The oranges and yellows from the sunrise are already mixing with the light blue sky of a perfect sunny day. A lofi version of a bossa nova tune plays in the background as Shoyo turns the camera to his face, smiling brightly. A peak of half brown and half blonde stairs of hair shows at the corner of the screen, right on Shoyo’s chest.
Jump cut. The camera is now focused on a big white bed with a dark wood headboard, a mess of fluffy looking pillows and covers in the middle. Shoyo leans down on the bed to kiss a lump of pale skin that still rests in it. On the right top corner a white ´<3´ appears.
Jump cut again. Now Shoyo is on a balcony, sun bathing his face and hair in a nice yellowish light.
“Bom dia! Welcome back to my channel. As you guys might know, I really like doing vlogs. I usually just show my routine as a V-League volleyball player and stuff like that, but today is kind of different, because Kenma and I are on a trip in Brazil!”
Shoyo turns the camera to show his view. Buildings with bright windows and an infinite cristaline ocean fill the camera before Shoyo turns it back to himself.
“I love Brazil. A couple of years back I lived here to train beach volleyball and it was an amazing experience. People here are so nice and kind, and the sun seems to be always shining”
On the right top of the screen the emoji of the Brazilian flag next to a red heart appears.
“Brazil is also a very special place for Kenma and I because it was during a trip he took to see me here that we got together. When we are both old and retired, I would love for us to come live here”
Jump cut. Shoyo is blushing slightly, like he just realized what he said.
“So anyways, I decided to share a day with us here!”
The screen changes to a sequence of different clips from parts of the trip while big yellow letters appear saying ´A day with us in Brazil´. Jump cut. Shoyo is on screen again, now from a low angle as he walks inside.
“Right now it is almost 9 AM, I woke up around an hour ago. I usually wake up much early but jet lag is still kicking our asses and we’re sleeping pretty late each night. I went on a morning run by the beach” a photo appears on one side of the screen, in which Shoyo is sweaty but smiling with the ocean right behind his back, the sky more orange than now “And I showered, so I think is time to wake Kenma up so we can eat breakfast”
Jump cut. The camera is back on the previous position showing the bed. Shoyo kneels on the bed and runs his fingers through messy long hair. A thin pale arm rises from the bed to grab on Shoyo’s forearm.
“Good morning”
“Gmrning”
The camera focuses on the sleepy yet sharp golden eyes that emerge from the sheet's lump, glaring directly at the camera.
“Are you [BLEEP] filming me?”
Shoyo leans down to kiss Kenma´s forehead.
“Yeah. I’m filming a day with us in Brazil”
The hand in Shoyo’s arm moves to do an obscene single fingered gesture towards the camera which is only visible for a bit before a pixelated censorship covers it. Shoyo laughs.
“Kenma! You’ll get me demonetised!”
“Oh I have some ideas on how to get you demonetized”
Kenma’s arms grab Shoyo by the neck and pull him down to meet him. Jump cut. They are sitting on a table of what seems to be a cafe, both dressed in short sleeved shirts given the heat. Kenma’s hair is tied up in a messy half bun, with stairs of hair falling around his face.
“You are such a coward”
Shoyo grabs his hand on top of the table.
“I don’t think either of us in ready to post that kind of content online, anjo”
Jump cut. A colorful breakfast sits on the table, eggs and fruit alongside cristal mugs with coffee art in them. Jump cut.
“Did you know that Brazil is in the top ten world rank of coffee consumption?”
“It makes sense. Coffee is really good here”
Shoyo and Kenma are now walking down a street.
“We already had breakfast and it was delicious, right Kenma?” Kenma only nods “I love the food here, everything is so good I find myself missing it back home”
“You cook a lot of brazilian food though”
“Yeah, eating in our house is an intercultural experience”
Jump cut.
“Now we’re heading to the beach! We usually stay in there all morning until after lunch”
Jump cut. The camera pants horizontally to show the beach. There are some people tanning on their towels or swimming in the water. Shoyo turns the camera to himself, showing a sad expression.
“This is the face of a heartbroken someone”
“You are such a dramatic [BLEEP]”
The camera turns to Kenma sitting on his towel with a big white t-shirt on and his switch in his hands. He has sunglasses pushed to the top of his head.
“Can you stop cursing on my video?”
Kenma grins.
“[BLEEP]”
“Okay, thank you”
“[BLEEP]”
“Stop it!”
“[BLEEP] [BLEEP] [BLEEP]”
“Kenma! That was vulgar even for you!”
He giggles to himself and goes back to his game.
“Is what you get for interrupting me with your whining”
“Fine”
Jump cut. Shoyo is laying on his back with an annoyed expression on his face.
“Looking out for travel companion who wants to share time with me”
Wordlessly, Kenma scoots closer to Shoyo and lays with his head on his boyfriend’s chest, eyes still on his game. Shoyo smiles and caresses his cheek with a finger, which Kenma turns his head slightly to kiss without looking away from his game.
“You better cut this off”
“But babe, the views”
Kenma giggles and Shoyo looks at the camera with a wide smile while a triumph trumpet sound effect appears.
Jump cut. The camera zooms in on a seagull at the shore.
Jump cut. Shoyo’s hand shows some seashells on his palm.
Jump cut. The camera is at a low angle and shows Shoyo making kissy lips at Kenma, who turns around to kiss him.
Jump cut. Shoyo is now sitting on his towel, both of his hands holding some sticks with something screwed on it.
“This video is basically me talking about Brazilian food. This is called queijo coalho, is a common snack you can buy here on the beach. Is basically a piece of roasted cheese”
“Like Korean corndogs” Kenma’s voice says behind the camera.
Shoyo looks at him and wrinkles his nose.
“No, this is better”
Jump cut. The camera is on a low angle again, showing Shoyo’s and Kenma’s heads as they eat.
“Can you say it?” Shoyo asks.
“Keijo coalo”
Shoyo laughs and Kenma huffs.
“Let me hear it again”
“Queijo coalho” Shoyo says.
“Queillo kolho”
Shoyo laughs loudly as he shakes his head. Kenma pouts and pokes him with his empty queijo stick.
“Whatever. I have you for that”
Jump cut. The music shifts to a soft, romantic bossa nova as the camera shows a frame with the ocean and the warm colors of the sky as the sun sets. Shoyo and Kenma are on the water, splashing each other until Shoyo hugs Kenma by the waist and lifts him off his feet, spinning him around. Cut. Shoyo is still holding Kenma in the air by his waist when Kenma leans down to kiss him.
Jump cut. They’re back in their hotel room. Shoyo’s hair is wet and he is shirtless when he accommodates the camera and stands in front of it with a smile.
“We’re back from the beach, we both showered to clean off the sweat and sand and now we’re gonna—”
Shoyo is interrupted by a shirt hitting him on the face. The camera moves and Kenma’s face appears in front of it.
“You haven’t paid enough to see that”
Jump cut. Now Shoyo is wearing the shirt.
“As I was saying, now we’re gonna eat dinner. This hotel has a restaurant, but we’re both tired so we’re ordering room service”
Jump cut. The camera is at a weird angle, as it shows Shoyo on the phone talking to the hotel restaurant.
“... a massa com parmesão e o frango com arroz. E os legumes cozidos no vapor também, por favor. Quarto duzentos e cinquenta e três. Só isso, obrigado!”
Shoyo hangs up and looks back above the camera, where Kenma is.
“You’re so hot” Kenma says, and Shoyo laughs.
Jump cut. The camera shows the food.
Jump cut. Shoyo and Kenma are sitting side by side on the bed with their food. Shoyo talks with his mouth full.
“Say something for the vlog”
“Why?”
“Because you’re my boyfriend?”
“You’re just using me for views”
Shoyo laughs and Kenma looks at him fondly. Jump cut.
“The first time I came here was around five years ago, I think, when I came to visit Shoyo for the first time since he had moved here. And I remember looking around at all the color, and music and thinking this was your place”
“Yeah?”
“Mhm”
Shoyo leans in to kiss Kenma on the cheek.
Jump cut. The food is gone and now they’re both under the covers, their faces illuminated by the yellowish light from their bedside lamps.
“And that’s all for our day! I think we will watch a movie but we’ll probably fall asleep halfway through it, so I’ll end the video here”
Kenma moved to lay his head on Shoyo’s chest as he spoke.
“Remember to like, subscribe, and leave a comment if there is something specific you’d like to see! Until next time!”
Shoyo smiled at the camera and Kenma waved his hand. The screen goes black, with a bubble linking Shoyo's channel on the left, and a link to Kenma’s on the right.
