●

He giggled against his neck, a slight smile on his lips. He kissed over the marks and nuzzled his neck, letting his eyes close.

🌀

One hand came up to play with his hair, combing through it with a small smile on his face.

●

He let himself stay like that for a while, enjoying the closeness, and only pulled back a few minutes later to get a few kisses.

🌀

Eridan nudged Dave off his lap when they came in closer to the island, standing up so he had a full view of the bow and the ocean. This island looked a lot smaller, but it looked like it had a reef almost all the way around. There was a rather narrow path sort of thing leading through a large band of coral to an open space deep enough for the boat to be in at low tide, and he hesitated in going in there only because they wont be able to go back out over the band during a low tide. Still, it was a pretty good spot, sheltered and everything, and soon they were anchored.

●

He sat down once he was nudged off of his lap, just looking ahead. "Shit bro, this is all kinds of pretty." He mutters, grabbing his camera to take a picture while still on the boat.

When they anchored, Dave put the camera protection over said camera, and oh boy he was ready.

🌀

Eridan smiled at him, doing his routine check of the boat and anchor once they'd anchored up. "The coral's different here. Closer together and the tides are very much important here in terms of us doing stuff. We can obvious swim along the bottom and stuff, but we wont be able to leave here to go home unless it's a high tide, which is alright, and we might need to just swim to the beach at some points instead of taking the dinghy."

2015-12-22 01:23:03

●

"Sounds good, swimming around is alright with me. C'mon, let's take pictures. He tugged Eridan to the edge of the boat by the hand, and got in the water with a grin

2015-12-23 16:29:15

🌀

He laughed at Dave's eagerness, smoothly diving into the water once he'd double checked everything. "Do you want your mask?" He asked Dave, realising he should've asked when he was still on the boat.

2015-12-23 20:35:34

●

He shook his head. "I have the glasses and the mouth piece, no need." Truth be told, he's been missing his underwater kisses, even if it is just on the cheek or something.

2015-12-24 00:14:47

🌀

Eridan nodded and smiled, waiting until Dave had the equipment on before offering his hand and pulling Dave underwater.

2015-12-24 00:32:05

●

He twined their fingers before diving, and stuck close to him. These waters were pretty shallow, or so they looked that way. Maybe they're above a sandbank?

2015-12-25 12:44:08

🌀

The water was a lot deeper than it seemed, though there was a tide bank rising to their left. There was still four or so meters under the keel, which would drop to about two meters at low tide. Eridan smiled and kissed Dave's cheek, kicking at a lazy pace as he headed for the nearest batch of coral.

2015-12-25 22:32:08

●

He pressed back against the kiss with a wide smile. Dang, he missed those, most definitely. Dave grabbed his camera as they approached the coral, and snapped a couple of pictures. Thank god for high quality cameras that work in movement.

2015-12-26 01:06:21

🌀

The fish around here were wary of them, just like the others had been at first. The coral here was more abundant, growing out of the rocks and some across the sand. A couple of clown fish darted back into the anemone as they slowly swam past.

2015-12-26 01:49:33

●

Dave started humming the "just keep swimming" little song from finding nemo once he saw the clown fish, nodding to himself as if they could understand the mighty reference.

2015-12-26 01:50:30

🌀

Eridan heard him, and snickered, kissing his cheek again. There were a few parrotfish that swam closer to them, and Eridan pulled a face at them. He didn't like parrotfish too much, they looked weird.

2015-12-26 01:52:19

●

Dave absolutely adored the parrotfish. They were all colourful and big, and he must have them on camera. Headbutting Eridan softly so that he'd stop scowling, he snapped a couple of pictures, smiling.

2015-12-26 01:54:07

🌀

Eridan puffed bubbles at him, but backed off a bit so that he could get some good photos. A shadow swam over them, and Eridan twisted to float on his back to see what it was. It was a black-tipped reef shark, much bigger than the little shark they had found. It wasn't acting aggressive, and from what little he could understand of it, was merely curious. He nudged Dave to have a look.

2015-12-26 01:55:35

●

When Dave looked, he had a mild panic attack, because he was trained from a young age, much like every other kid, to be afraid of sharks. Eridan was there though, and he'd get him out of there if needed. He might have curled up a bit tighter next to Eridan as he snapped a shy photo of the shark.

2015-12-26 01:56:54

🌀

Eridan looped an arm around his waist, but then got an idea. He pulled Dave down until he was sitting on the sand next to a rather large brain coral and some rocks which he could hold onto. He kissed his cheek, smiling. "Wait here. Don't worry, nothing will hurt you." He then swam after the shark, starting next to it before darting up and blocking it's path. It didn't stop in time and bumped his chest with it's nose. He gently nudged it to swim back towards where Dave was, keeping his hand on it's nose and just leading it. It followed his hand, and looked pretty relaxed. Sometimes he wished sharks were playful like dolphins were.

2015-12-26 01:59:15

●

He relaxed as he was pulled away from the damned thing, but clearly tensed up when he was left alone. He wanted to whine, because holy shit no, the only shark in his life is Eridan, but now it was done, and he was arguably safer down there where he could see the shark rather than up.

He looked hesitant as he snapped the pictures, wanting to keep his distance, but did take some before gesturing for Eridan to make it go away.

2015-12-26 02:00:59

"It's really quite friendly Dave. I'm not asking you to pet it, but look at it's form! This is a good sized shark, decent. You can tell it hasn't seen much more than a reef in it's life. Probably has never seen a human in it's life. Human isn't on a sharks menu, they have really poor eyesight. It's why any shark attacks in the first place. Like with great whites, they think surfers and stuff are seals." The reef shark was swimming around him, and he ran his hand gently over it's side. It had a little nick at the top of its dorsal fin, which he assumed came from coral, or another shark. He got another bright idea, and smiled at Dave. "Do you want to see how fast it can swim. You can stay down there, or float up to the surface, and I'll race it. It won't come near you, promise."

2015-12-26 02:04:22

●

Nope. Dave wasn't having any of that. He shook his head. He was fine with not petting the big thing with sharp teeth, and even better with not looking at it.

At the question, he shrugged, not to keen on continuing to be near the shark, but if it made Eridan happy, why not. He nods.

2015-12-26 02:06:30

🌀

Eridan grinned happily at the nod, fins wiggling as he shifted until he was swimming alongside the shark. Without warning he body slammed it and took off, swimming quick as he darted this way and that through the coral. The shark followed instantly, and Eridan hoped he'd managed to communicate that this was fun, and not kill. The shark seemed to get it.

2015-12-26 02:08:20

●

He set up the camera to record it as Eridan took off, but he could feel himself getting stiff, because oh shit what if things went wrong. This is not the time to be acting like a scared loser, yet look at him.
