𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀'𝙎 𝘼 𝙍𝙊𝙇𝙇 𝙊𝙁 𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝙀𝙔𝙀𝙎 𝘼𝙎 𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝙃𝙀𝘼𝘿 𝙁𝘼𝙇𝙇𝙎 𝘽𝘼𝘾𝙆  before they’re focusing upon the clear summer night sky above as she lets out a long exaggerated breath  , “ boy oh boy , we GOTTA get you some new jokes because that one ?Y I K E S . ” it’s muttered to herself more than it is spoken to him & by the time her head falls back into position , there’s a smile spreading across her lips as he shifts beside her .

“ me ? ” she questioned , her free hand lifting to allow the tips of her fingers to press against her chest , “ oh , you know it . could i have done without ONE particular interaction with one specific self-serving & arrogant kook ? YES . but — ” there’s a pause as she leans a little closer , her shoulder bumping against his as a single finger comes to point at him , “apart from that , i’m just peachy keen ! ” as she leans back against the trunk , she falls silent for a moment as she scans their surroundings . but the peace doesn’t last long until her voice is once more filling the air around them & her attention is back on him , “ we not feeling in the partyin’ mood tonight , hmm ? these kooks throwing you off ? ”

❝  do you mean montgomery? has he been giving you a hard time again?  ❞   arlo frowns but his question is more or less redundant. of course it’s ryder , finn didn’t complain about many people and from what he’s heard ryder montgomery is the king of kooks. the sort that arlo does his best to stay away from , knowing his temper would likely get the better of him.

❝   i’m feelin’ just fine.  ❞  arlo murmurs , taking a sip from his beer. parties just weren’t really his thing. small get-togethers were somewhat acceptable, but the sort of crowd the bonfire gathered was more like an event. still , after last year’s bonfire , arlo felt like he had to be there. just in case there was trouble. just in case kai or river or whoever else needed him like kai needed him last summer. ❝  just tired.  ❞  he omits after a beat.  ❝  i started working a new job at a new company today so they’ve got me doing all the heavy-lifting. it pays better than before, though.    ❞

     having  long  ago  gotten  comfortable  being  surrounded  by  three  boys  at  all  times  ,  aiden  had  fallen  into  their  presence  being  a  constant  state  ,  a  chosen  family  when  her  own  wasn’t  anywhere  to  be  found  .  sharing  came  as  a  typical  part  of  the  friendship  –  her  sharing  her  home  ,  the  boys  sharing  their  expertise  in  other  areas  .  it  was  a  symbiotic  relationship  ,  one  aiden  couldn’t  picture  her  life  without  .  her  vision  was  already  slightly  blurry  ;  another  beer  wasn’t  something  she  needed  ,  but  rather  craved  ,  considering  her  anxiety  surrounding  the  bonfire  after LAST  year’s  events  .  “ fine  ,  don’t  share  , ”  aiden  said  jokingly  ,  wiping  at  her  lips  while  pointing  towards  the  beer  he’d  moved  away  from  her  .  she  didn’t  mind  ,  really  .  “  have  you  seen  him  ?  i  think  one  of  us  should  keep  an  eye  on  him  ,  ”  she  admitted  ,  blue  hues  scanning  the  crowd  again  in  hopes  of  spotting  the  familiar  man  . “  ugh  ,  god  ,  he  really  would  NOT  shut  up  ,  ” she  disclosed  ,  intentionally  avoiding  looking  in  the  direction  she’d  come  from  ,  “ thinks  i  don’t  know  about  the  swell  out  here  ,  like  i  haven’t  lived  here  my  whole  fuckin’  life  . ”  the  locals  knew  better  than  to  underestimate  her  when  it  came  to  knowledge  about  their  strip  of  ocean  ,  &  she  always  dreaded  tourist  season  . “ are  you  just  gonna  sit  here  alone  all  night  ?  ”  she  turned  her  attention  to  gaze  at  arlo  ,  “  it’s  kinda  sad  ,  harvey  .  why  not  chat  someone  up  ?  get  blackout  ?  go  skinny  dipping  ? live  a  little  ,  kid  ,  ”  she  nudged  him  gently  with  her  own  shoulder  ,  the  pair  of  them  swaying  along  with  it  .

❝ if kai’s going to do something, he’s going to do it whether or not we’re there babysitting him. ❞  he shares a look with aiden , knowing that she knows just as well as he does that kai would do whatever he wanted. arlo had spent most of his life sitting back , waiting ‘til one of them needed him to show up. he didn’t like arriving too early , but he never showed up too late.  he was confident that if kai or anyone else started stirring up trouble the boneyard would be too small a place to keep it hidden. especially when it was this crowded. if a fight broke out , everyone would navigate to that spot like metal to a magnet. if it was kai at its epicenter , arlo would be there to back him up. just like last summer. just like all the summers before that one. arlo focuses his attention back on the toron , watching him as he gives up his fruitless search for aiden and instead turns towards some girl arlo had never seen before. another tourist , likely. he’d probably have better luck with her than denny , anyway. ❝ m’not interested in chatting anyone up , ❞ he says with a sigh. ❝ i’ve been black-out and i’ve skinny dipped. i don’t see the point of doing either of those again. ❞  he pins aiden with another look then reaches for his beer and tips it all the way up as he finishes it off.  ❝ you don’t have to sit here with me. go and enjoy the party. or find kai. whatever you wanna do. ❞

         blue  hues  scanned  the  crowd  of  people  for  ANY  kind  of  relief  from  her  current  situation :  a  chatty  summer  breaker  ,  now  drunk  off  the  too  many  beers  he’d  consumed  in  a  futile  attempt  to  impress  her  ,  could  not  take  the  hint  that  she  didn’t  care  about  his  political  science  debate  course  .  she  didn’t  want  to  be  outright  MEAN  ,  seeing  as  the  boy  might  show  up  in  one  of  her  surf  classes  one morning  ,  &  she  could  use  all  the  tips  she  could  get  .  her  gaze  fell  upon  arlo  ,  sitting  alone  , & while  the  boy  took  a  pause  to  go  refill  his  cup  from  the  keg  ,  aiden  made  a  break  for  it  &  crossed  the  area  to  sink  down  next  to  arlo  .  “ yeah  ,  taken  by  me  , ” she  told  him  without  looking  ,  watching  carefully  as  the  boy  who’d  been  talking  at  her  looked  around  upon  noticing  her  disappearance  .  “  this  for  me  ?  thanks  , ” she  stated  ,  fingertips  wrapping  around  the  beer  in  the  sand  &  raising  it  to  her  lips  to  take  a  long  swig  .  she  let  out  a  sigh  ,  looking  into  the  fire  ,  feeling  its  heat  on  her skin  ,  before  looking  over  at  the  other  . “  why’re  you  over  here  all  alone ?  kai  ditch  you  or  something ?  ”

ARLO GIVES AIDEN A TIRED LOOK WHEN SHE APPROACHES— not at all surprised when she takes his beer and raises it to her own lips. she always seemed to assume that whatever’s his happened to be her’s , too. he figures it comes with the territory of having known each other for so long and he’s more or less gotten used to it. when she sets the beer down again , though , he picks it up , takes a sip , and places it on the other side of himself ; out of aiden’s reach.

❝ you know kai never stays in one spot for long. ❞  he murmurs , leaning slightly to bump his shoulder against aiden’s. he indicates with a tilt of his head the boy she’d been talking to before she’d made her way over.  ❝ did you ditch the toron? he looks lost. ❞

angelina had been around the beach more than once now and she had already said her “hi”s and “it’s been so long”s, and just wanted to find somewhere to sit. luckily, she spotted her favorite spot in the sand with that same log she usually sat at on her own– except, it seemed that somebody else was there.

to get a better look, she walked closer to the log, but still couldn’t fully tell who was sitting there– must’ve been that she forgot to put her contacts in that morning. she continued to walk through the sand until she finally reached the log.

seeing that another figure was still in what she liked to call her spot, she decided to play along and sit right next to him; maybe that would shoo him away. but once she heard the words “that spot’s taken”, an internal sigh of frustration was released, not bothering to make eye contact but instead watching the crowd of drunks from a distance. “hm, i don’t really remember asking.” she snapped back, crossing one arm across her chest now and the other arm scrolling through instagram. “look, dude, this is my favorite log and i’m going to sit here. got a problem with it, go talk to the manager.” she shrugged casually, not bothering to look up from her phone.

IF ENTITLEMENT HAD A SCENT TO GO WITH IT— arlo imagines it would be whatever perfume the blond that settles next to him is wearing. a muscle flexes in his jaw at her words and he takes a casual , slow sip of his beer. it seemed to him that no matter how hard he tried to avoid the kooks , they always had a way of sniffing him out. it was irritating. she’s irritating.

❝ yeah , alright , ❞   he stands up and rubs his palms together to rid himself of the sand , then reaches down to pick up his beer.   ❝ enjoy your log then , princess. it’ll be a great backdrop for your instagram. ❞

better for him to just walk away and avoid whatever lust for conflict had inspired the girl to sit down , anyway.

    kai  had  been  lugging  around  a  case  of  beers ,  handing  them only  to  the  people  he  kind  of  liked ,  mostly  on  the  search  for  arlo  or  river  again  so  he  could  get  them  just  as  drunk  as  he  planned  to  be.  he  didn’t  trust  the  kegs,  not  after  that  one  time  he  didn’t  bring  any  alcohol  and  the  keg  was  empty  and  he  went  home  mostly  sober  and  pissed  off.

      kai  doesn’t  say  much  of  a  word  as  he  walks  around  the  large  log  to  where  his  friend  was,  and  he  plonks  himself  down  on  the  sand  beside  him  -  already  buzzed  from  the  party  and  from  the  alcohol.  “ coolin’  off? ”  he  raises  his  eyebrows,  shifting  over  a  little.  “ taken by who ?  you’re  not  like… seeing  things  are  you,  bro? ” he  laughs,  reaching  behind  him  for  where  he’d  left  the  case  and  grabbing  one  for  himself  and  for  arlo,  handing  it  over  already  opened.

ARLO ARCHES A BROW AS KAI’S GIANT FORM CRASHES DOWN ONTO THE SANDY SPOT BY HIS SIDE— ❝ just enjoying the beach. ❞  he responds , just before kai shoves a second beer at him.   ❝  you seen river around?  ❞  he asks in a murmur as he sets the new beer down with his original one ; not bothering to rile kai up by denying his need to get everyone else just as drunk as he was. all arlo would have to do is let the beer sit there for a while and kai would eventually forget he’d even handed it to him , especially if kai kept drinking. which , on this night in particular , arlo knew he would.

❝  you plannin’ on getting into any trouble i should know about tonight , moon man?  ❞

RUTH WAS NEVER GREAT at minding her own business. it probably wasn’t her biggest flaw, but it was certainly up there. she just never really figured out how to simply leave people alone, and well, if anyone should know that well she figures it would be arlo. ruth had pretty much earned her friendship (?) with arlo through persistence alone, and honestly she was pretty proud of it. it was an achievement to be able to get someone that grumpy to put up with her, right? a whole miracle.

or maybe it was just dumb luck.

either way, the moment ruth spots arlo sitting on the shore all by himself it’s like the forces of the universe push her to march her way over and plop herself in the sand next to him. and so she does so pretty happily. after all, who is she to argue with the universe? if god wants her to bug arlo then so be it.

“oh really? by who? casper the friendly ghost?” ruth teases as she settles into the seat, wiggling her bum in the sand to get comfortable. she arches a brow at arlo as she jokingly lowers her voice with a playful, “the invisible man? or, oh, i know!” ruth brightens then, eyes twinkling as she leans into arlo and says, “the ghost of christmas past!” she gasps as she points at arlo, eyes crinkled with her amusement as she says, “holy shit, you’re definitely a just a super young ebeneezer scrooge, arlo!” she shakes her head slowly then, looking at arlo thoughtfully as she asks, “why have i never noticed this before! you’ve even got that, you know, old man,” ruth roughens her voices as she raises a fist to shake scoldingly towards the sea, grumbling, “‘get off my lawn!’ energy down too! wow.”

ruth continues to shake her head as she leans back in her seat, glancing down at arlo’s beer bottle where it sits in the sand between them before she’s grabbing it and pointing the lip of it at arlo as she suggests, “okay, if i can chug this in less than a minute i think you should dress up as donald duck as ebeneezer scrooge for halloween next year. i mean, i am putting my liver on the line for this so it’s only fair!”

SUDDENLY, ARLO THINKS TONIGHT MIGHT CALL FOR TWO BEERS— he blinks at ruth , a bit overwhelmed by her sudden appearance and bubbly monologue. slowly , as though contemplating her words , he reaches out and takes the beer from her.

❝ you can’t have my beer ,  ❞  he says, without any real threat in his voice. then he takes a sip.  ❝ and i have no idea what you’re talking about.  ❞   finally, he waits a beat and then says:   ❝  and i think denny already has me and the boys’ costumes planned out for the next ten years , give or take.  ❞

𝙎𝙃𝙀'𝙎 𝙊𝙉 𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝙀𝘾𝙊𝙉𝘿 𝘾𝙐𝙋 𝘽𝙔 𝙉𝙊𝙒  &  there’s no denying that it’s alreadystarting to get to her . the downfall of being a total of 2 feet tall with little body weight to soak up the alcohol that the cup pushed into her hand had held from the moment she’d arrived at the party . not that she was COMPLAINING — it was the start of summer after all & she couldn’t think of a better time in which to allow her hair down a little bit . not that letting her hair down was exactly a RARE occurrence . finley bauer used just about anything as an excuse to let her hair down & lose herself in the giddy warmth that spread from the centre of her chest to her extremities . it wasn’t her fault that she was happy about being back home for a SOLID few months with the people she loved MOST in the world .

one of which had somehow managed to slip from her vision . she could have SWORN he was right beside her one minute ago — or was it half an hour ago ? she couldn’t be QUITEsure . either way , the search for one arlo harvey had sent her all around the boneyard before she finally found him by HIMSELF in the sand lent up against a fallen trunk . & as she tramped up to him , she hardly hesitated before plonking herself down upon the sand next him with a heavy breath . but before she could get a single word out , he beat her to it with words that caused her brows to shoot up in question as her head turned to look at him . “yeah , BY ME . ” eyes narrowed at him , “ you REALLY know how to make a girl feel special arlo harvey . sometimes i think you’re not a real grumpy gills but it’s time like this thatREALLY just remind me that you are in fact , a REAL grumpy gills . could at least say HI to me before you send me on my way . ”

ARLO SMIRKS AT FINN’S NARROWED EYES— his gaze drops to the bottle held between his hands and he takes another swig , finishing it off and balancing it on one of the few old sun-bleached branches still clinging to the fallen tree at their backs. 

❝ just a joke , finnigan , don’t have to take it so seriously. ❞    he brushes the sand off his hands by smoothing his palms together and then sifts his fingers through his hair , mussing the short brown almost-curls. he indicates the cup in her hand with a glance and a downwards tilt of his chin.  ❝ enjoying yourself? ❞

ARLO DOESN’T USUALLY DRINK— in fact , he usually says he doesn’t drink at all. a white lie. just a little one. he doesn’t drink drink. not like the long line of alcoholics before him. but he’ll have a beer , on occasion. particularly when kai or denny or river are around to shove a fresh-from-the-cooler bottle against his chest with a pat on his cheek ; their grins just slightly different versions of a matching set. 

so , he doesn’t usually drink... but tonight he’s having a beer and it feels like a shard of ice in his bare hand so he sets it down on the sand next to him and he leans back against the old fallen log behind him. he’d come with friends but , as was usual of them , they’d managed to drift off in separate directions. it’s an easy thing to do , in the early summer , surrounded by a crowd of faces ; some familiar , some new , most of them drunk. arlo figures they’ll come back eventually and , if not , well ; he’d probably start hearing his name in the sound of the waves crashing off in the distance and have to go get his board. 

for now, though, he’s content to sit and watch the party ; occasionally lifting his beer to take a sip before setting it back down on the sand. in fact , he’s able to fall into a comfortable rhythm , watching the fire pop and hiss while sipping his drink. it’s almost peaceful.

but arlo knows peace never lasts too long , not in coston.

when someone sits down next to him , he turns to look ; almost frowning , but not quite. ❝ that spot’s taken. ❞
