I did, yes. Now just imagine what women wear to the beach.
[Drowning is indeed a hazard in his time. It's why many people avoid the beach.
But Luca is not one of those who fears the water, and he'll step right in along with Yuri. He only goes to about ankle-deep, as the water is cool and takes a bit to get used to, but he's grinning as he wiggles his toes in the wet sand and foamy waves that lap at his calves.]
That isn't any better Luca, that's so much fabric.
[ wow? assault? ]
Maybe that's the danger of it. Stay here long enough and you might forget what's real and what's not. [ and then he's just splashing Luca with sea water. ha. ]
or it would be ha, because I'm absolutely going to say he catches yuri off balance and probably gets an elbow in the side when yuri falls on him. suffer, twinks. ]
[Oh no time to get knocked back and swallow a mouthful of seawater and choke on it. He's left sitting up and gasping for air now. But he doesn't let go of Yuri, interestingly enough.]
[ well they're just in the water now. yuri's going to shake his head and probably get more water on luca like some kind of dog, shaking itself off. more water for luca. ]
No really, there's a moment there where Yuri's hand is tucking that bit of hair back, and Yuri is right there and it feels bright and warm in his chest and it's not because of the simulation sunlight beaming down on them.
In that moment it's like something clicks into place. And Luca is mentally freezing, because oh.
[But Luca is used to covering up his true feelings. It's a mask he has worn for a long, long time. So he just smiles as he forces those butterflies and warmth down deep into his gut. Time to not think about feelings at all!]
If it all goes away when we shut the simulation off, then there's a lot we could do.
[ yuri's focused on making sure he's got... well. as much of luca's hair under control as he can. he can remember how fussy he's been literally every single time his hair has come up in conversation, so he's tucking another curl back into place and trying to flatten some of the pieces on the top of his head that look like they've been backwards through a hedge in this whole process.
maybe luca just won't realise his hair looks like this. or maybe he'll just be okay with the fact the it's a simulation and it'll be back to normal when they leave. ]
...
Oh, we could have so many water fights. It's true.
[ yes he can probably guess what luca's angling at but why make it easy? ]
[It's not perfect and Luca will probably realize that eventually, but for now he's sufficiently distracted. An increased heartbeat and a desire to hide said heartbeat will do that.]
Oh? Are you saying you want to be thrown into deeper waters?
[Luca you are a noodle, you won't be throwing anyone.]
[ good, unintentional distractions are working out in his favour. luca will never know exactly how his hair looks right now -- but honestly, he should relax a bit more. his hair looks fine, even water ruined. ]
[ he's cut off by the mini-deluge of water so he just splutters, but it doesn't distract him for long. he'll even flip his hair in a less shaggy dog and more hair model way to get it out of his face so enjoy that, luca. ]
Very easily actually. After all, it's not real water anyway.

It feels so real, doesn't it?
no subject
Date: 2021-03-08 12:03 am (UTC)[ yuri shifts his foot through the water, noting the feel of the waves against his skin and the change in temperature. ]
Hard to believe it's not, really. I know it isn't, but what I'm feeling and what seeing disputes it.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-08 12:30 am (UTC)[Luca will move a bit closer to Yuri and use his own foot to dump some wet sand on top of Yuri's foot.]
I don't know how they do it. Part of me wonders if this actually is real after all.

True. I could stay here forever.

Date: 2021-03-08 01:41 am (UTC)[ well. retaliation. ]
The real world catches up eventually. [ he. pushes luca. gently, but still. splish splash. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-03-08 02:36 am (UTC)[It will catch up when he DIES.
But for now he's going to get pushed, and then he retaliates by pushing at Yuri. Dumb boys playing in the water eyyyyy]

[ yuri stumbles a litte but doesn't fall, instead he pushes back. with a little more force than before. eat ocean, luca. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-03-08 12:17 pm (UTC)But yes, he is falling down into the water with a yelp. It's shallow enough for him to keep his head above the water though.
A moment later, he's grabbing for Yuri's hand to try and tug him into the water too.]

That's one way to take a dip.

And that's another way. We should have tied up your hair before getting in.

Date: 2021-03-09 02:54 pm (UTC)Right. Fake water. Guess we'll find out when we turn the thing off.
[ hold up fusspot, yuri'll hook some of the more flyaway damp bits back into something like their right place, just give him a moment. ]
1/2 BRB making this really gay

thanks for making it gay, maple

[ noodle arms. ]

no subject
Date: 2021-03-10 02:36 pm (UTC)[He is not mad at all. The anger is fake and not at all convincing. Probably because he is laughing as he says it.
But he will also get his revenge by getting handfuls of water to dump on Yuri's head too.]
