"okay Maverick….. guess ill just go to swimming…. in the dark…"
She stands up and starts walking towards the water…. her feet splash the water as she dives in.
She looks back, hoping Maverick would notice.
"IM IN THE WATER MAVE!"
She shouts to him.
“Who’s shouting?” Maverick shouts back, eyes snapping awake. He scans blindly in the dark, before seeing moving water and making out CC. “I thought you wanted to get out of the water,” he wryly remarks.
"oh thank goodness!!! I was trying to get you awa-"
She says, yet interrupted by losing her balance. It was never actually safe to go in the ocean in the dark. Falling down, down was only knee-deep, so it wasn't bad, but it probably did from Maverick's point of view.
“CC?” He yells, eyes still dropping and adjusting to the darkness. Blindly he stumbles forward, following the sound of splashing water as the commotion ensues. “Where are you?” Maverick pants. His hand slaps against the gentle rolling waves, sinking ever so slowly into the water.
Popping her head out of the water, she starts laughing, wading up to him,
"hey! I'm right here! Dont come in the water silly! I'm fine!"
She smiles and grabs his hands pulling her out of the water a little. She was short, so much shorter than him. She still was completely dumbfounded about how she told him, but he was asleep.
"Are you okay?"
She says smiling at him, although it was way too dark to see her. Just a big white blur.
“I’m alright. You, on the other hand,” he fusses over her, patting her head gently. His head is still reeling from its daze, tugged so harshly out of sleep. Laughing, he comments, “You’re so short.”
"what!"
She was expecting him to say something cheesy and romantic like he usually did, but she laughed at his comment.
Her feet were being buried in the sand. They were a little deeper in the water, it was up to her waist, the cold water splashing against her stomach. She forgot what she was wearing until she looked down. It was cute, but she felt weird. Reaching up on her tippy toes, she got only a tiny bit taller, not alot in the slightest.
"I….. i thought were afraid of water? Why are you in it then?"
She said trying to look at his beautiful face. Which saddened her, it was far to dark to see.
Ego inflating, Maverick arrogantly preens, "I had to save you, princess. And your height? It's okay." Although CC couldn't see him, she would be able to hear the smirk infused into his voice. "I like girls who stand at 5'6''."
"good!"
She says crossing her arms, looking away from him.
Looking back at him, she quickly splashed some water at him and giggles.
"You should probably go to bed, you did fall asleep on the sand"
She says through laughing. Her face was a little red from him calling her princess.
A hand weaves through his soaked hair. "I- oh gods, that's embarrassing." The moon is now dangling from the sky, creating a picturesque aesthetic of the pair's silhouettes in the water. "What about you? Don't you need sleep, too?"
"Ha! I can go years without sleep!"
She said confidently puffing her chest putting her arms on her hips.
"You myst not even know me!"
Maverick's mouth scrunches. "Years, huh?" He waggles his eyebrows, murmuring in her ear, "So I assume you can stay up all night, too? But then again, I don't know anything about you…" The innuendo lingers, dancing happily like a flame in the air.
"Well, now you do… Now that I told you!"
She says quieter, backing away a little bit. If he got any closer- well she doesn't know what she'd do. Her face was as red as a beat, and boy she was glad it was dark.
"now you know one thing!"
She says to him playfully
"One thing- I want to know so many more," he says, coaxing his voice to sound calm, testing the waters. His gaze trails to the moon, soothing his rushing heart.
Calming down a little bit, she grabbed his hand, pulling him a little bit towards the shore.
"Now you need to go to sleep. C'mon"
She said in a gentle voice. Her little hand in his, she was really cold though. Hopefully, she doesn't get sick.
His head jerks up, suddenly, a jolting motion that abruptly shakes Maverick out of sleep. "You've been in water- it's midnight- you're so cold, CC." He frantically warms her hand, concern at the tip of his mind. "Let's get inside, get you some warm clothes. Then, you're sleeping," the boy decides firmly. With the routine stated, Maverick forcefully tugs her to her dorm.
She hated how forceful he was being, it kind of scared her, but she had to remind her that he wouldn't hurt her, and it was because he cared so much. Reaching in front of her room/house she looked up at Maverick. Pulling his face closer to hers, her heart was racing. She was way too awake to be sleeping. A million thoughts raced through her mind at 1000 mph.
Her king hair dripping water on the wooden porch.
"Night!"
His face was in her hands, looking into his eyes that she could now see rather well, thanks to the light coming from the house.
Quickly but gently, landing her soft yet cold lips on his forehead, the moment seemed to last forever, even though it was about only 10 seconds. Smiling and walking inside. The wind slamming the door shut.
Once inside she ran to her room, looking down on her bed. Immediately rolling up in a little caterpillar. Her face was res from just a tiny….soft, gentle, kiss in the forehead. She felt as if it was so fast when she actually thought about it.
Maverick couldn't move. His skin still tingles from the contact, while a dazed hand gently smothers his forehead. Thoughts fly in and out of his brain, but his senses are all directed at what CC just- did she really- oh gods. His feet trail lightly toward his own dorm. Without warning, a lopsided grin blossoms onto his face, his eyes light up, and there's a bounce always present in his step until he reaches the dorm. Good night, he thinks as he passes out on his bed.
CC lays there for a second, squeezing her pillow like a thirteen-year-old girl squealing over one direction.
Lying there like a starfish she let's out a long sigh. Laughing about the fact that he was talking in his sleep. Realizing what he said was just around the corner.
*Her? Who's her? I mean…. I know he likes me…. Right?… I'll ask around"
She suddenly loses her enthusiasm about him for a, split-second, regaining a totally-not-worried smile. Then falling to sleep.
(do we wanna do a time skip?)
(Yee please)
(Yep)
Today was the day with no rules, no boundaries, free time, as kids at a camp would call it.
Brushing his teeth, he ruffled his hair in the mirror, Ryuu felt good today, and he went to bed rather early, unlike CC, who fell asleep around 4 in the morning. Walking out of her room, in some cute bunny PJs, she went to the tiny little kitchen they had, which she didn't realize they had it until now. And now, debating whether or not to fix waffles, once she found out they had the things for it. This place was definitely made of money.
i hope Bee likes Waffles!
She thinks to herself while she bakes them. And now she wouldn't call herself a good cook or anything, in fact she was pretty bad. But she could make waffles.
(BAKES waffles lmaoo)
Beatriz sits in her room, absorbed in a book she's been reading for the past two hours. She looks up immediately when she smells something cooking and goes out to the kitchen. "What are you making?" She asks curiously.
