[Along the Dollet Beach students from the academy seem to have set up a small little beach party. There are blankets, coolers, Grell in a bikini, and even Marco is just hanging out in his beach shorts (although you won't ever see him go in the water.) There's even a beach volleyball area set up. Purely for the viewing pleasure of the guys watching. Seeing the scene you would never expect lots of violence that was about to befall.]

Comments

[redcinemareel]

That's my line! [Laughs lightly before it ebbed away.

Now, Grell isn't the type to question things like getting gifts, but a ring was quite serious in his books. And with his feelings for Mr. Pineapple Hair being so serious, he was wondering if accepting it was right. Weird...

He looked to Marco with a wry smile.]

...you're not my boyfriend...

[fierybluebird]

[Tickles under chin.]

Didn't say I was, eh? I just saw it and wanted you to have it. [Hands up disarmingly.]

That's all.

[redcinemareel]

[That wry smile is still there. Grell nods softly, looking to the ring.]

...that's all...

[A momentary pause.]

I'll accept it, because it's from you, but I won't wear it...

[He looks kind of dejected now.]

[fierybluebird]

[Frowns.]

Why not?

[redcinemareel]

I'd wear it proudly if we were dating, but..it just seems wrong to wear it otherwise. How can a girl wear something so precious from just a friend? I... [Shakes his head softly.] It wouldn't be right to wear it.

[Grins, despite how bad he was feeling inside.] 'I shouldn't have to feel this way, right? Is it because I like him? Bloody emotions.'


I have too many stipulations, don't I? [It was what he was telling himself, making himself believe.] But what I said earlier is still true: I like you, and I'll wait until you're mine to wear this.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins evilly.] So you'd rather I was yours, eh?

I don't think I'd have much to object to that. [Tickles under Grell's chin.] But then I reserve the right to punch anyone who thinks they can rub lotion on you instead of me doing so.

[redcinemareel]

[This smile was more genuine, but Grell's a good actress. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference.]

Only mine, so that means I get to chop up anyone hitting on you~.

[fierybluebird]

So long as you aren't misconstruing something one of my friends do, that works for me, eh?

[Tickles under chin and croons almost dangerously quietly in Grell's ear.] Which means you better wear it.

[redcinemareel]

I'll try not to~.

[Shivers from the possessive words, looking to him with a smirk.] Do the honors? [Hands Marco the box, which was still open, and offering his right hand.]

[fierybluebird]

[Grins and happily puts it on Grell's ring finger and pecks her cheek with a small kiss.]

There. And if anyone says you're not a lady, you better correct them and explain you're my lady.

[redcinemareel]

[The ring did have a lovely sparkle to it upon his finger, and it was the right size too! Grell's cheeks hued to a light red color at the statement before grinning, throwing his arms around Marco's neck tightly.]

You're the best, Marco.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins even more and hugs around waist.]

I do try, eh? And you deserve the best.

[redcinemareel]

[Pulls away and taps his nose.]

I already have the best.

[fierybluebird]

Better believe it.

[redcinemareel]

So self-assured. [Grins.] I like it.

[fierybluebird]

I tend to be confident when I already know I'm winning. [More tickles under the chin.]

[redcinemareel]

Certainly plausible~. [Smiles happily at the attention.]

This is certainly the best vacation I've had in ages. [Sighs happily.] It can't get better than this.

[fierybluebird]

Not even with the fun of exploring a tower and having a nice little exciting fight?

[redcinemareel]

....

Did you say fight? [Yes, his eyes are lighting up.]

[fierybluebird]

Yes, I did.

[redcinemareel]

Then what are we waiting for?

[fierybluebird]

I like to be relaxed before a big fight. Better to mock enemies with.

[redcinemareel]

[Shrugs softly with an easy smile.] As long as there's fighting in the end. [Stretches languidly before laying out on his towel, clearly showing off his bikini. Next to him was a small table with a blue cocktail drink with a pink umbrella.]

Any ideas on how to relax~? [Smirks.]

[fierybluebird]

Oh, I've got my own ideas. [Grins and a tiny chirp escapes him, but he pretends not to notice.]

[redcinemareel]

[Smiles and closes his eyes] Oh~? Share, dearest.
