day 418 | vacation

[unbr8kable]

[There is more to Hachijo Island than just creepy hotels filled with fungus--though there are plenty of those.

But one doesn't need to visit one for impressive-looking black-sand beaches with tide pools and sea turtles frolicking nearby, or tall, green cliffs that fall off into the sea, or mountains to climb, or hot springs with views of the aforementioned cliffs and beaches or even overlooking a waterfall.

Nemesis comes ashore with satchel full, looking between the greenery and the water and the mountains rising nearby, and then over to Hurricane, grinning]

...Ready to relax?

It's 橋, ain't it?

Did I mess it up?

[Writing it on her again,]

[unbr8kable]

[Attempts to squirm out of the way again,]

I-- That-- That ain't chopsticks,

[Reaches out to write something else on him before he can continue, loops and squiggles that go lower down his back]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He squirms away a little, too, laughing this time - perhaps a little red in the face]

Naw, chopsticks is like -

[Writing that one next, over her ribs,]

[unbr8kable]

Eep--

[Definitely flushing and squirming away]

L-look, you gotta hold still so I can write!

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, we ain't comparing?

How else am I gonna confirm what you're putting down?

[unbr8kable]

With your mouth. It's--a trust exercise, or whatever...

[crossmyheartandhope]

A trust exercise, huh?

Should it go both ways, then?

[Wiggling his figners at her,]

[unbr8kable]

No. I already trust you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Awww. Well, I guess if you already trust me.

...that mean I get a pass, too?

I already trust you, too, y'know.

[unbr8kable]

If you trust me, then you should let me write on your back.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Huh. Is that how that works?

[unbr8kable]

It absolutely is.

Plus, I asked first.
