🌀

He kissed both cheeks, setting Dave down gently in the corner seat of the cockpit before heading back to the wheel and maneuvering back to the same spot they were last time.

Dave took his sweet time to fully wake up, but walked around to put his phone inside his bag and such, also getting a pack of gummy worms to snack on.

2015-10-17 22:47:43

🌀

Eridan had them anchored and engine off by the time Dave was back with gummy worms. He took a few from the packet, popping them into his mouth as he went to secure the anchor with a short anchor line he'd grabbed from one of the lockers.

●

"Did you get bored while I was asleep? Sorry, I just... you made me sleepy, it's your fault." He said as he walked around with Eridan, munching on the soft gummies.

2015-10-17 22:49:45

🌀

"Nah I was fine. There were a few sea birds I was watching for a while, and I was just content to watch the water and cuddle you." He smiled at him, leaning over the edge to check the drag of the anchor. It was all good, they wouldn't be going anywhere until the anchor was lifted.

●

"Still, it was a long time." But then again, Eridan is the guy the spent loads of fucking nights wide awake just cuddling him and did not give in to the temptation of sleeping. Respect. "I made myself sleep when I was trying to make you sleepy. This was the opposite of what I wanted."

2015-10-17 22:53:24

🌀

He laughed softly, fins wiggling at him. "Your attempts were foiled by your own desire to be thoroughly cuddled." He teased, pulling him close for a quick peck. He looked up at the sky, shading his eyes as watched the sun. Still morning, around eleven ish. "You wanna go for a swim later? Like just around the boat or to the reef or wherever you want. I got that mouthpiece thingo again for you while you were shopping."

2015-10-17 22:55:26

●

"Indeed. My body needs to stop this shit right the fuck now." He smiled a little, and then wider when he got a kiss. "Still? That's really fucking early. But yeah, we can go to the seahorses or so."

2015-10-17 22:57:15

🌀

They did leave earlier than last time and the currents were in their favour, and it only takes like, three hours to get there. "We can even just swim around here. There's turtles and stuff and starfish and maybe the dolphins'll come round again? We can go wherever you want to."

2015-10-17 23:06:13

●

Dave pulled him into a hug from behind, and kissed his shoulder, nodding. "Sounds good, we can do all of that. We're free for now, free of our metaphorical chains that hold us to the prison that is college."

2015-10-17 23:07:50

🌀

He grinned and nodded, turning his head to press a kiss to his cheek. "Thanks for getting me to do this. I probably wouldn't've come. Or done anything. Probably worked myself to complete and utter exhaustion and put myself in hospital." He turned to hug him properly.

2015-10-17 23:15:14

●

Dave hugged him around the neck, as if to force him to be shorter, even though he wasn't putting pressure on him. "Well, I'd probably do something like that too. We gotta look out for one another."

2015-10-17 23:16:15

🌀

"Like that time you insisted on going to work when you were cut up?" He smiled, nuzzling his neck and having to bend down a little to do it. "This is good though. It's peaceful here. I might sleep, I dunno."

2015-10-17 23:19:14

●

"I was trying not to reference that, but yes. Yes, that." He still thinks he would have made it though.

Dave smooches him right in the kisser, and nuzzles his neck, smiling. "I'm pretty ready to go, I just have to ditch the shoes and the shirt."

2015-10-17 23:21:13

🌀

Eridan knew full well that Dave wouldn't've made it to the end of his shift. The fact that he hadn't even brought painkillers with him was the first clue.

He grinned at him, nuzzling his cheek briefly before pulling back. "We'll have lunch when we come back, is that good?"

2015-10-17 23:23:12

●

He tugged off his shirt once Eridan pulled back from the hug, and kneeled to take off his shoes too. "Sounds like a pretty fucking sick plan. Let's go then, what are we waiting for? An invitation?"

2015-10-17 23:25:21

🌀

"Well I'm waiting for you." True, by the time Dave had stood up from taking off his shoes Eridan was ready and waiting. He waited until Dave had stepped back from his shoes to get him around the waist and throw him over the railing, laughing. He ducked inside to grab the mouthpiece, moving their shirts and Dave's shoes inside before putting his glasses to the side and heading back up to cannonball in.

2015-10-17 23:27:01

●

Dave saw his life flashing before his little red eyes as he was thrown, just having time to yelp and kinda awkwardly curl up as he fell on his side. Ouch. Once Eridan cannon balled in, he dived to try and push him further down with his feet, just messing with him for throwing him over the railing.

2015-10-17 23:28:30

🌀

Eridan was grinning wide as he surfaced, handing the mouthpiece to Dave and laughing as he dove under the water again to swim around happily. He laughed under water, grabbing Dave's feet and tugging playfully. He didn't tug him under water though, not yet anyway.

2015-10-17 23:30:08

●

Dave couldn't help but turn into mush again when he saw Eridan that happy. God, he missed this.

Eridan didn't pull him, but Dave was already putting his mouth piece on, and diving with a wide smile to follow him.

2015-10-17 23:31:33

🌀

Eridan held his hands out for him, smile so wide it was like it was splitting his face in two. He tugged Dave deeper, holding his hands until they were right on the bottom and their feet in the sand. He pulled Dave close to kiss his cheek, nuzzling happily before he tugged him along to swim.

2015-10-17 23:34:16

●

He couldn't help but laugh as well when he was hugged, though he held onto him for a moment, and gladly swimmed with him.

Dave squeezed his hand, now with a huge smile as well, since Eridan is a contagious little weasel.

2015-10-17 23:36:19

🌀

Eridan held his hand happily, swimming slow enough that Dave wasn't having his arm tugged out of it's socket but enough to keep them moving along. The turtle they saw earlier had been disturbed when they jumped in, but had since settled on the sand again for a nap.

2015-10-17 23:38:12

●

Dave tugged on Eridan so that they could get closer to the turtle, and happily crouched next to it, just watching the turtle. His inner five year old loves turtles with a passion.

He quickly moves along though.

2015-10-17 23:41:59

🌀

Eridan had had a turtle chase him once. That was an interesting experience.

Eridan smiled at Dave, using his grip on his hand to gently rest them on the turtle's shell. It swam off soon after that, disappearing quickly from sight.
