CLOUD 9 ⚘ BEACH BUNNY
"You will always be my favorite form of loving."

"Manager! I'm inlove with how you work!" Burly arms embraced Kojiro's struggling form, a cascade of tears erupting from Shadows eyes as he displayed his myriad of jubilation to the fortunate situation, the reason to the abrupt clingyness was none other than the intoxicating beverage, alcohol. "Stop it! I'm not your manager!" Kojiro's scream came to no avail, accompanied with his attempts to pry the bulky man off.

"So, whats so good about alcohol?" grumbled miya, occupied eyeing at reki to notice that a fellow [c]-ette was discreetly judicious whilst furtively sipping on the orange juice in miya's hands; swiftly pretending to be half asleep whenever miya turns his head.

"Little boys might not understand—" reki was welcomed by a strudent smacked to the hand by a fan, a penalty for an attempt to reach out for the bottle of alcohol directly up front his form. "Underage drinking is prohibited." The soothingly soporific voice of a robot was discerned from the high-tech device that was strangely in a basket. Kaoru's care towards the inanimate object was not to be trivialized as something silly—this was something that you need to call a doctor for.

"That was a small mistake.."

"We stan Carla in this house."

Miya gasped, as [name] was caught in the act. bringing his fist up before chasing after the scurrying [name], afraid of what might become of them if miya managed to grab onto a small strand of hair. "YOU LITTLE—"

"Are you still mad at me?" [name]'s lips curved into a frown, placing down their chopsticks (on the table) that was in clear need of polishing. "Don't cross that line, [name]." Hissed miya, pointing at the line inbetween them made with extra chopsticks he managed to find.

"Please don't be mad at me," [name] defied the rules of the so called border between the two, clasping their hands onto his with a solemn gaze, eyes directly focusing on his pale hands with soft strokes of their thumb. "my heart wouldn't be able to take it." Their grip on his hand slightly tightened, before miya responded with a dismissive cough. "B-By the way, today is supposedly some special day." The brief change of subject and the fluster in his tone was perceptible, but people as oblivious as reki and langa were fortunately for him—stupid when it comes to reading the air at times. despite the precipitous alter in subject, miya entertwined his hands with [name]. averting his gaze since he was aware that with one glimpse of them, he would perish without delay.

"Of what?" It seemed that miya had gathered the group's recognition. "Supposedly, it shows up." [name] trailed off, bringing their head down onto miya's lap, managing to block the swift scratch he nearly inflicted on their precious face from the alarming deed.

langa proceeded to be unaware at the implications thrown at him, sending reki a look of utter dubiety. "It shows up... you can't mean—that's ridiculous!" reki laughed, obscuring his foreboding unease with a boastful laugh, waving their words off as a foolish rumor.

"we heard from the hostess just now," began [name], miya's nintendo suddenly in their grasp as they tapped on the buttons furiously, as miya was too engrossed eating to deal with their bullshit right now. "She said, "Today is a special day, so please do not walk around after sunset."" the caricature imitation exhibited a palpably spectral vibe, the impersonation of her words were flawless. miya had even managed to pull of the somber demeanor.

the buoyant air around reki seemed to dissipate, holding in his breath as he could perceive his spine shudder, the abundant possibilities of what could lurk around at night was horrifying.

"Oh yeah, yeah, you don't have to tell me. I have nothing to do outside."

langa studied reki's leisured form as he walked away from his spot, calling out his name in perplexity. "I'll go get a drink." the simple response wasn't convincing, but nevertheless, langa played along.

"Can I sleep here for a bit? if that's alright with you," brimming with prominent oscitancy, miya nodded his head in approval. placing down the now empty bowl before beguiling the hours with his nintendo (that he got back from the [c]-ette), stealing glances at their best friend whilst mellifluous snores left their lips.

Kaoru sighed to himself, moving away from his spot without further notice, leaving the iconic pair to themselves, faintly smiling at the beauty of youthful love.

"Whaat?! the hot spring isn't here at all?"

[name] frowned, awoken impudently by reki's emphatic clamor. "It looks like you didn't read the data you were given." miya hushed him, pointing at the enervated features of the individual's form in his lap. "I got a map from the hostess." Kaoru placed the firm object of paper, his index finger above a certain location on the map. "It's in the mountains five kilometers from here. it's what you call a secluded hotspring."

"Five kilometers huh?" kojiro took a brief glimpse at [name], who was immersed in their own thoughts to even lend an ear to their sharing of words. kojiro snickered at their unruly appearance, before turning back to the group with a lofty smirk. "That's the perfect distance to have a beef." langa perked up at the word he had always favored, effulgent eyes filled with inconceivable delirium.

"That plan..." [name] jolted, springing up from their spot with a perturbed screech at the sudden slam of traditional doors. "Count me in!"

"You're totally ready."

"Didn't you go off to sober up?" Miya deadpanned, the exporbitant amount of makeup and powder descried was invidious, an absolute sore to the eye. "My weak self that gets controlled by booze... was left underneath the mask!" His theatrically Chuunibyo comment was brushed aside by the assemblage of skaters, concluding that responding to him was pointless, since it would only spark a vendetta.

"What's this mark?"

"Some kind of face?"

"Maybe some monkeys show up."

[name] propped up their elbow on the table, placing their chin on the palm of their hands. "Maybe its the thing the hostess was talking about." Their statement immediately propelled reki into panic, "Theres no way they'd draw something like that on the map!" He attempted to contradict with an obtuse rebuttal, the pressure of his increase in volume smacking them in the face; their hair turning more unruly than before. seriously, Kaoru wonders if they even brush their hair.

"After warning us about it, I'm sure they would though.. Can it be that you're scared?" [name] reaches out to pat down their hair, as well as miya's who had apparently got affected too. "No way! a ghost? we're not grade schoolers." Despite his utterance, he was trembling tremendously.

"I think its alright to be scared. just because you're mature doesn't mean—"

"Have you guys been hearing a strange sound?" The brusque statement from Kojiro amplified reki's trepidation, as [name]'s eyebrow twitched in annoyance at the fact they were harshly interrupted in the midst of their motivating speech.

"One..."

Everyone visibly stiffened at the grim voice, accompanied with a clack of plates.

"Two.."

"Three.."

Oh, it was just [name], miya, and Kaoru. (miya and [name] attempting to create an eerie atmosphere to frighten everybody)

"I'm telling ya, stop that!"

The group of skaters stood under the skies littered in a dark hue, the soft crickets and the flickering of streetlights noticed in the somber ambience of outside.

"The first one to arrive at the hot spring will be deemed the winner. you're free to choose whatever path."

[name] stood idly beside miya, deciding not to put effort as there were no benefits to participating anyways, and additionally, they were still exhausted and in need of sleep. in the most likelihood that [name] would actually try, everyone would be doomed by clever tactics. (can I just mention that [name] kins dazai)

"So, the ability to read maps will also be questioned." langa began analyzing the piece of paper that displayed the area's layout. resolved to gain a triumphant victory, as well as the group who was emitting determination.

"Come on! are we really doing this? it's dark already so why don't we do this tomorrow?"

"Oh, so you are scared, don't worry reki nii-san, you should be scared of what I'd do to survive in the dark. even if it means using you as my sacrifice!"

"WHAT-"

Carla began the countdown, as Reki and [name] were behind the group. completely unprepared.

In the midst of the ferocious race, [name] and reki we're complete offtrack.

eldritch air flowed alongst the breeze of dusk, as the hushed atmosphere was considerably far from tranquil. the somber and barely lit lampposts were a heinous addition to the sinister aura, heaps of prospects that could lead to negative outcomes was drowning down reki's courage to proceed on, but maintaining composure infront of a thirteen year old was a must; he didn't want to look frightened when this youngling was unable to feel an ounce of dread themselves. What type of nii-san would he be?

"I wonder if this is the right path." reki muttered to himself, as [name] glided alongside him on their skateboard with cute pastel frog designs.

reki's brows lifted, noticing infact that he had passed a figure, promptly coming to a halt whilst rotating his board. "Oh, um! I'd like to get some directions!"

Noticing that the stranger seemed to appear like those haunted statues in horror movies, he held onto [name]'s arm as he screeched a plead.

"AH!" he squeaked, feeling a firm hand on his broad shoulders, drawing back only to realize it was langa. "Oh, it's you, langa." breathing out a sigh of solace, he felt consoled that it was just his best friend and not some diabolical spirit.

"hi, langa." [name] gave a short wave, as langa returned it with a brief one. "Sorry to leave you behind. you're still injured after all, reki." his words of probity was a prodigious breath of reassurance, the ataraxy of his presence was certainly reki's seratonin. "Yeah." reki trailed off, his gaze averted to the smooth pavement sheepishly.

the placid juncture was adjourned by the susurration of a bush, leading to reki rushing behind langa and [name].

"reki is totally scared."

"Shut up!"

The trio walked along the road leisurely, finally on the right path as langa was present to direct the two.

"I wonder how far they've gone." reki released a breathy sigh, "they might be taking a bath already." replied langa, his eyes wandering back and forth, analyzing his surroundings to ensure that they're traveling up the accurate path. "reki, are you sure you brush your teeth?" [name] dashed over to langa's side, compressing their nose inbetween their thumb and index. the revolting smell of his breath felt like polluted air.

"I do!"

"shrek literally lives in your mouth.."

langa sniffed the air, grimacing immediately at reki; who was utterly clueless. "I swear it isn't me!" He flailed his arms around frantically, protesting to their claims. "Wait, he's right. it's like a mixture of sludge, oil and wild animals..."

"Sounds like reki." they smiled innocently, as reki screeches at the slander bestowed upon him. "I HATE IT HERE" He huffs, before furrowing his brows. "Huh, I smell it too.. what exactly is this smell?" the trio paused their movements, their mouths hanging wide open at the petrifying scenery they crossed along their path.

"Shadow?!" The pair rushed towards their personal chaffeur, whom they always taunted and satirized to create bright atmospheres; positioned on the rough ground whilst smothered in layers of mud.

"R-Run away. they really..." he was unable to finish his injunction, and inform them of the possible danger that prowl in the night, losing his sense of speaking and perceiving—his head dropping back onto the ground with a reverberating thump. the macabre sight of his unmoving body was enough to send langa and reki into speculating murmurs.

He's probably not dead. possibly just unconcious from the disgusting stench. [name] watched reki and langa hurl questions towards him, only to acquire silence.

in the spur of the moment, a bloodcurdling scream was heard from a few meters away from their location. the familiarity they felt from the voice was like a gesture for them to rush to his side.

"miya!" a cry of solicitude left [name]'s lips, the resonating sound of a skateboard plummeting on the carved pavement was disregarded. scurrying on their feet, heading directly to the location of the voice with their heightened senses.

"Holy shi—" [name] deadpanned at the comedic sight of miya faceplanted onto a pool of mud, their brows twitching in irritation.

rustle

Something's here.

[name] shoved reki and langa away. gripping onto miya's arm with a visible scowl at the unpleasant stench, hastily dragging him away into a nearby bush. abandoning the duo to fend whatever threat there was that might attack them.

sorry guys, I'd rather not! :D

not too long after concealing themselves in a bush, reki and langa's screams of horror were heard, as well as rapid footsteps that soon faintly faded.

"It seems that they're gone now." [name] glanced down at miya, ignoring the nauseating mixtures of scents, faintly chuckling at their predicament.

was [name] guilty for sacrificing langa and reki? absolutely not.

Would they do it again? probably.

the solitude environment was a great area for camping, bugs were seldom to be seen and the odyssey they might undergo through a day in the woods would be indisputably compelling. the thought of humorous situations that they might encounter, brought a smile to their lips. and of course, they would never miss a golden opportunity to share a tent with miya.

[name]'s smile widened at the sight of the boy, despite being enveloped in a layer of mud, he still appeared adorable to their eyes. he slept rather uncomfortably, due to the revolting stench.

"If only I brought my phone." They yawned, running a hand through miya's dark locks whilst staring into the pearly white sphere that was labelled as the moon.

"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
