"Yeah. But that's okay, because if you hadn't washed up in the middle of nowhere I wouldn't have met you," Erikos said, smiling softly as he pressed a soft kiss to Daus' forehead. He returned his gaze to the ocean, the shore behind them disappearing slowly from view
"You're right about that," Daus chuckled as he returned Erikos' kiss on their cheek before he moved towards the edge of the boat, peering down towards the water. Sure, he must have looked kind of childish, though he had always been really interested with the sea.
Erikos smiled as he watched Daus watch the water. He thought it was kind of cute how interested in it he seemed. He glanced over at the horizon and the faint speck of the island growing larger the longer they sailed
"Is that it?" Daus asked, calling out towards Erikos as he glanced back towards the other with a curious gaze. Sure, it looked pretty small from where they were, but he was already excited.
"Yep. Don't worry, it looks tiny now, but it's pretty damn big when you're on it. Think Manhattan big," Erikos called back, smiling as he did so
"Damn, I should come to Portugal more oftently," Daus answered, laughing a bit as he turned back towards the water, his gaze now focused on the island in interest.
"You definitely should," Erikos said. He increased the speed a little, smiling as the wind whipped in his hair a bit. The island began to grow in the distance, now obviously larger than before
"You should think about modeling, y'know. With your blue eyes and hair in the wind…it could definitely work," Daus grinned as he looked back towards Erikos, chuckling a bit as he looked towards the other. They were honestly really good looking, which always made him wonder why they had even chosen to like him.
"Nah, no one would hire some washup like me. Especially with the whole 'blue eyes and dark skin' thing. The only thing people would ever ask me is to prove I'm not wearing contacts," Erikos said with a small laugh
"Oh please, if they can't already tell that you're insanely hot just by looking at you, then they aren't worth your time," Daus chuckled, leaning a bit against the railing as he looked towards Erikos. Sure, at first their eyes startled him a bit, but they were a nice touch against his darker skin.
"Well, I'm modeling for you, and that's good enough for me," Erikos said with a small laugh. Eventually the dock was in sight, and Erikos slowed to a stop as he killed the engine. He walked around to the anchor, where he dropped it before stretching
Daus laughed as he ran a hand through his windblown curls, letting out a small yawn as he looked down towards the docks. Everything seemed a lot stranger at night, even the water taking on an odd murky tone. He had always been a bit bothered by the dark anyway, so that probably explained his faint unease at the sight.
"Thank you for sailing Sea Erikos, you have reached your destination," Erikos said with a small laugh. He wrapped his arm around Daus' waist, smiling as he pecked his cheek
"Dork," Daus laughed as he nudged Erikos playfully, wrinkling his nose jokingly as Erikos pecked his cheek, though he honestly really loved the affection. "Where are we going first?" He asked curiously, looking up towards the other.
"Well, I was thinking we could grab some dinner at one of the outdoor places. I've got enough cash on me for a quick meal, and then we can go to the movies or something cheesy like that," Erikos said. He let the walkway down, smiling as he led Daus down
Daus nodded, already smiling brightly as he took Erikos' hand in his own, beginning to lead the other down the docks even though he had no idea where he was going. At this point, he was happy to just be standing next to Erikos.
"So, what kind of food do you usually eat? Other than fancy, godly stuff," Erikos asked with a small chuckle. He walked down the docks and towards the cement railing at the end of it
"Anything really," Daus answered, shrugging a bit as he looked towards Erikos with a small smile. He had no idea what he did to get someone like Erikos to like him, but hey, he wasn't complaining.
"Hm…we had seafood earlier, as is common for people who live right next to the ocean. So…how about something like tacos? Ooh, we could do pizza, too," Erikos mused as he led him away from the docks and towards the boardwalk
"Those are all really good options," Daus replied as he frowned faintly in thought, trying to figure out what sounded the best right now. "What about tacos? I haven't had those in forever," he added, humming in thought as he followed after Erikos.
"Tacos are good," Erikos said with a smile. "There's a good place here on the boardwalk that makes really good tacos, too," he said as he began to walk down the boardwalk. It was a rather old-looking collection of buildings, but it was vintage in a way that felt like you were walking through the set of a movie
"This place looks like a scene straight out of these old English movie tapes that my friend used to watch," Daus chuckled, motioning to the older buildings as he looked over towards Erikos with a small smile.
"Yeah? I've always thought they were pretty cool. They've got the whole 'vintage movie' vibe going," Erikos said with a small smile. He led Daus a bit further down the boardwalk, until they reached what looked like an outdoor cafe
"I like that too," Daus nodded as he followed after Erikos, intertwining his fingers with the other subconsciously. Just walking next to Erikos seemed to have a calming and comfortable effect on him for some reason
Erikos led Daus to one of the tables, smiling as he sat down. They were in front of a small restaurant, which was mostly empty save for the occasional person here and there
