I love it.

[She says softly, laying down so she can look up at the stars.]

...It's easy to think we're somewhere else with a view like that, isn't it?

[givethemhell]

[After a second, he joins her, unceremoniously just flopping over onto his back and stretching his arms and legs out like a starfish.]

--You're right! Maybe that's why I like being out here so much. The ship is big, but I'm used to having a lot more room to roam.

[uncurtained]

[She's just gradually scooting closer to him, even if he's all spread out.]

It'd be nice if we could swim in the ocean without getting spit back out, huh?

[givethemhell]

I was thinking the same thing just earlier today! I miss the ocean and nice, big lakes. The pool is fine enough, but it smells terrible.

[Also, people have died in it, even if it's been magically cleaned.]

[uncurtained]

[After a long moment:]

Do you want to jump in?

[They'll just get spit back out again, but.]

[givethemhell]

[He's fuckin zipping up from his sprawled out starfish pose in a hot second.]

I always love jumping in!

[WHY IS HE LIKE THIS.]

[uncurtained]

[She grins as she stands up, but:]

Let’s move the food out of the way first. Okay?

[givethemhell]

We can just jump further away from our stuff!

[POINTING toward the side of the deck further away from their little camping zone...]

[uncurtained]

That works, too.

[She reaches for his hand, moving over in that direction.]

On the count of three?

[givethemhell]

[He gives their hands a little swing.]

On three! One... two... three—!!

[TIME TO YEET INTO THE SEA and be yote back out by the sea, which is probably just there like why are you all LIKE THIS.]

[uncurtained]

[Into the sea they go! And out of the sea they go! As soon as they're both on the deck again, she's grabbing onto his arms for traction with a breathless laugh.]

Oh my god, we're soaked.

[Of course, that isn't such a surprise.]

[givethemhell]

[HERE'S THIS SOAKING WET ASSHOLE JUST LOSING HIS SHIT. He's clutching Beck's arms in turn and is practically doubled over, god.]

Hahaha, we certainly are, aren't we! [Though he'll cast a glance over toward their cozy tent...] Guess we'll have to wait a bit before we lie down on our nice, clean blankets again.

[THEY DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH.]

[uncurtained]

[His laughter just makes her laugh harder despite herself, shaking her head.]

You know what this calls for? A drink.

[givethemhell]

Ah, I like the way you think!

[He shifts to hold one of her hands instead of clutching her arms for dear life and immediately starts to trot on over to the pool bar. CONVENIENT.]

What this time? We can toast to the stars, so it has to be something good!

[uncurtained]

[She lets herself be pulled, giggling lightly.]

If we're toasting to the stars... It has to be champagne, right?

[givethemhell]

Is that so? Champagne it is, then!

[He only lets go of her hand once he gets to the bar so he can go rummaging around for CHAMPAGNE.]

What's the best kind, anyway? There are so many bottles of it in the casino but they all taste the same to me.

[uncurtained]

Ah, I don't know that much about different brands... But I bet anything will taste good. I'm not picky.

[She looks up at the sky, smiling softly.]

[givethemhell]

[He'll just grab the first bottle he sees that looks semi-decent, in that case. Champagne!! Wild.

After pouring two glasses, he slides one over across the counter and then slips around the side of the bar to come join her.]

A toast, then! To the stars, for being so reliably wonderful even in the middle of nowhere!

[uncurtained]

[As she reaches for the glass he pours her, she raises it towards his, nodding.]

And to you, for setting all of this up.

[givethemhell]

To you, too, for humoring me!

[CLINK he actually sips instead of tanking the whole fuckin drink in one go this time, too.]

—Not bad!

[uncurtained]

[She takes a sip as well, but as soon as she’s done:]

I’m not humoring you. You’re my friend.

[givethemhell]

[Oh no his heart... BECK IS TOO GOOD FOR HIM.]

Hah... A toast for my good luck, in that case - I'm changing it belatedly!

[uncurtained]

For many years to come.

[She sets her drink down on the bar. The both of them are still dripping wet, but as she looks up at the stars...]

Hey, do you want to dance?

[givethemhell]

[Apparently he's not all that bothered by being soaking wet, considering there isn't much hesitation before he's setting his glass down on the counter and holding a hand out to her.]

You keep having good ideas! Though it's been a long time since I've danced with anyone - I might not be able to keep up!

[uncurtained]

[She takes his hand easily, shaking her head (and taking care not to shake any water his way as she does).]

That's okay. We can do something slow.
