Cassie was still up on the rock, but only thanks to her quick hands, which now had some decent sized cuts on them.

"Damn! That was- Nate? Nate!" Don't freak out. He's fine. He knows how to swim he'll be fine... unless he hit his head or- "NATE!" She looked over in the water, trying to spot him.

There's a long silence before he comes up out of the water, coughing a little before letting out a short laugh. "Oh man, what a trip." A pause when he sees her worried expression. And his own face becomes a little o_o, the effect of which is made more comical by the seaweed dripping from the top of his head.

Ahem. "Uhh.. looks like the tide's coming in?" He gives her a lopsided grin.

[staturity]

Oh, thank God! She could kill him for that!

"Yeah. Maybe we should head back. Unless you want to get more of this in your hair." Cassie said, reaching down and pulling the seaweed off of Nate.

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

Well it's not like he did it on purpose! He didn't put that wave there his mun did!

"Well, it's not like I have that much hair to get messed up." Pulling himself up onto the rock, he took the hand that she'd reached out to pull the seaweed from his hair, holding it palm up in his own. "You hurt your hand."

[staturity]

Touching. Touching! There was touching.

"It's nothing." Well sure, it was one of those nasty annoying cuts that could hurt quite a bit on its own and the salt water wasn't helping but all things considered... "Hardly feel it at all."

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

Well there needed to be touching if he was going to look at her hand!

"Hnn. We should probably at least head back and get it cleaned up or something." It didn't look like nothing. "Well you don't feel it because the endorphins are still running through your system, and the adrenaline rush from the fright you got when I went in is blocking the pain. But in a little while..."

Can you tell Nate's a dork, Cassie?

[staturity]

And it was probably the endorphins that made her really, really want to just silence him with a kiss right now. But that would be bad for many reasons. So she just smiled instead.

"It's just a cut. It'll be fine."

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

It probably was. He probably wouldn't have objected to much either. But then, that would have been bad too.

He sighed slightly. Why was she so stubborn? "Well, if you say so. Do you want to head back? Or stay out for awhile more?"

JUST KISS ALL READY

[staturity]

They really should head back. Between the waves and the strong desire to just launch herself at him...

"Well we could stay out here a bit longer if you don't mind..."

TELL ME ABOUT IT

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

They really should. If they were being calm and rational, that would be the logical response to the situation.

"I don't mind. As long as you're sure your hands are alright." You know, he probably should let go of her hand by now...

Re: TELL ME ABOUT IT

[staturity]

"Yeah, I'm sure." Instead of pulling her hand away Cassie turned it over so that she could hold Nate's hand.

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

He squeezed her hand gently, conscious of the cuts on it. "It's nice. Being out here." With you.

[staturity]

Cassie didn't say anything. She just kept staring at Nate. She didn't realize it but she was leaning in closer.

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

Nate himself hadn't noticed just yet. But he would soon enough. He looked up, smiling at her for a moment.

[staturity]

"Nathaniel I..." Still leaning in.

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

"Hmm?" He sat up, inadvertently drawing closer to her, tilting his head slightly.

[staturity]

All this time there was a long list of warnings rattling off in her head. What are you doing? Are you crazy? You have a boyfriend. He doesn't remember anything about you. But suddenly all of her mind's protests fell away. Just as Cassie had the first time, she acted on impulse, pressing her lips against his.

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

Nate was pretty oblivious to the urge. Sure she was pretty, and sure he liked being around her. But she was spoken for, and he wasn't the type of guy to entertain those kinds of thoughts. But when she pressed her lips against his, it felt right. His eyes fell shut and he leaned closer.

[vision-ya.livejournal.com]

Had either of them been paying attention to what was going on around them, they'd notice that there was a certain someone floating in front of them, fully clothed and trying to figure out if he ought to clear his throat, splash them, or dump one or both of them in the water.

"[Should I come back later?]" he finally asked, acidly. "[I would not want to intrude or anything.]"

[staturity]

Cassie snapped back faster than she would have if she'd just had a rattle snake thrown at her.


What did you do?

WHAT DID YOU DO?

"Jonas!" Oh God, she wanted to sink into the ocean and die.

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

Nate snapped back too, eyes wide. This was not good. There was a moment when he froze, before he pulled back, moving himself slightly between Cassie and his 'brother.'

"No, you should stay." He answered the question, sarcastic though it may have been. "I should go...I shouldn't have done that." The last part of the statement was aimed at Cassie.

[vision-ya.livejournal.com]

"[I cannot see any reason for that particular arrangement,]" Jonas said. "[She apparently prefers your company, and I would imagine that neither of us have much to say to the other at the moment.]"

At least, he did not have much to say to Cassie, and he was hardly in the mood to listen to her excuses. They had talked about this, he had told her that he refused to be the consolation prize because she could not have his 'brother'.

He realized that he was clenching and unclenching his fists, and immediately put a stop to it.

"[Good day, both of you,]" he said, turning on his heel to walk away, forgetting for the moment that he was currently intangible and could actually fly.

[staturity]

"Jonas wait! I never should have- please don't go."

[wheresmysuit.livejournal.com]

There was a moment when Nate just looked like a deer in the headlights. Then he looked at Cassie's expression, and Jonas' back, he sighed, this was probably going to hurt, then his expression hardened slightly. Raising his voice, he called out over the water, his tone hard and challenging.

"Hey Jonas. You just gonna run away?"

[vision-ya.livejournal.com]

Jonas paused.

"[Walk, actually,]" he called back, his voice edged with anger and a little bit of pain under a thin veneer of false cheer. "[I see no point in forcing myself into a relationship with someone who would rather be with you. Therefore, again, good day.]"

Dammit, why had his voice cracked on that last word? His voice was not produced by a larynx; that was entirely psychosomatic.
