prettydamngoodSteve loves the beach. He loves it in all weathers but he particularly loves it when it's hot, when he can spend the whole day there, with a magazine, with soda. He spends most of the day sprawled out on a blanket on the sand reading or napping but, when he wakes up, he feels hot and sweaty, hectic, and it's definitely time for a swim. He leaves the majority of his stuff on the sand and he plunges into the water, submerging and swimming until he starts to feel comfortable in his skin again.
He wades out, shaking water from his hair as he goes, only realising after he's done it that that's potentially antisocial. He pushes the heavy weight of his hair back from his face and grins at whoever he just splashed.
"Shit, man," he says. "Sorry."

"Totally not trolling," he says, grinning. "So. You want a party?"

Date: 2018-08-02 09:04 pm (UTC)"Fuck, yeah, it should be a big deal," says Steve, sitting up, pushing his shades up onto the top of his head. "A huge deal. We definitely need to mark the occasion."

Date: 2018-08-02 09:34 pm (UTC)"All the drinking. And a band, maybe? Definitely jello shoots." He flops back down on his blanket. "Oh, shit. We should have a bounce castle, right? And costumes."

Date: 2018-08-03 02:17 pm (UTC)"You love me," says Steve, and he's confident in that fact, no matter what else is going on with them. "And I would love to throw you a birthday party. Down here on the beach?"

"Is it my turn to buy or yours?"

Date: 2018-08-07 01:41 pm (UTC)"Yeah, definitely," says Steve, lying back again and closing his eyes. "I'm not going to argue with you, Lane. It never gets me anywhere, anyway."
