“Beach day! Hooray!” Raphael sang out as he immediately ran ahead of his brothers, staking out a spot by shoving the pole of an oversized umbrella into the sand.
“Beach day! Hooray!” Leonardo sang along as he caught up, unfolding a large beach towel and spreading it underneath the shade of the green canopy.
“Beach day! Hoor—hey!” Donatello exclaimed, giving a side-eye to the other middle child.
“Beach day hasn’t started yet! Just-ignore-Leo-stole-your-blanket!” Michelangelo sang quickly, grabbing Donnie’s hand to lead him away from their brothers…
“So magical and new, there’s so much we can do!” Raph exclaimed, suddenly dropping himself onto the rectangular fabric patterned with a print of square floppy-disks.
“No training, only fun! We’ve only just begun…” Leo smiled, dropping himself and sitting on the large left leg of the alligator snapping turtle. Leaning back, he reached over to hold the other’s chin in his right hand. “I’m glad I’m here with you!”
“Scoff!” Donnie rolled his eyes from behind his large sunglasses under his wide-rimmed hat. “Even my dumb-dumb brothers won’t bother me, as I soak in sunlight for serotonin and Vitamin D!” The genius pretended to not notice his mate smiling proudly at him as they walked towards the waves.
“Only ‘blue mind’ state of the ocean needed here!” Mikey sang, his top shining as brightly as his smile while his cover swayed with a slight breeze. He then glanced back from his brothers to the water not far ahead. “Negative ions create positive vibes, my dear!”
The oldest turtle looked up, past the shade and squinting as his eyes adjusted on his youngest brothers. He then looked back at his mate who was still gazing at him affectionately.
“They still singing? Raph can’t even hear what they’re saying!”
“Something about day off, respecting the board shorts or something I’m sure,” Leo grinned. “More importantly, let’s talk about the cute swimwear you’re sporting here.” With the agile grace of a ninja, the red-eared slider casually reached over his right leg with his left foot to trace along the floral pattern of the red material…
Slightly blushing, Raph gently tugged the hem of the sleek and starry top just barely covering his mate’s body. His fingertips felt the smooth sensation of the shirt, causing him to sigh in contentment.
“Well, not everyone can be as pretty as ya…” His voice was relaxed with such a calm it made the other’s heart swell. A quick thwap sound was heard as a floral blue fan snapped open despite both having settled in the shade.
“Only the best for you,” he winked, playfully sticking out his tongue as he waved the fan a few times before using it to hide behind as they shared a kiss.
