marshson (STANLEY:
Watching the other jump in was probably a bad idea, the moment he’d made contact with the water it had splashed him as he’d hit near him. He rubbed his face, blowing out any water that may have gone up his nose and wheezed out a laugh, arms wrapping around his stomach while he did.
❝ Congratulations, Damien. You’ve officially have a life, ❞ he teased, but soon walked to the edge of the water and flicked a bit of water in the other’s direction with a smile. Soon after, he’d climbed out of the river and let out a harsh breath, running his hand through his messy hair. Well, no doubt would that be difficult to get back to the way it was. Was it worth it, though ? In his mind, he’d considered it to be so, even if he felt like he was freezing.
❝ It was a GREAT idea, dude. I have no idea what you’re talking about, ❞ Stanley began to make his way through the small rocks and the grass to get back to the bridge, his feet already used to the rough feeling of nature. It reminded him of days that he and Kyle would do this as kids, that is, whenever he could actually convince him that it was a good idea or just push him in anyways.
❝ You look colder than I do, pffthaha. Do you wanna use my towel ? I’m like temperature proof, don’t worry about it. Feels like I never even went into the water, dude, haha. ❞
He took a big deep breath, following Stanley up and out of the river, thankful for the bank being slightly warmer than the rocks he previously had to get a grip on with his bare feet. Thank god, he rubbed his hands together to try them off a little more, even blowing his warm breath into them to assist.
‘You officially have a life.’ Maybe he did, but, if having one made him fucking cold then he had a few other concerns about other things. The rocky sand became grass, and Damien decided he had a little too much of the cold, for the time being, so he rubbed his hands a little more, and lit a small flame he cradled in his hands. It a small crimson flame that reflected his eyes to come a little more red than their usual color that reflected a dark pomegranate tea. It flared to life, he kept it to himself, and away from the foliage that trecked in the path Stanley made in front of him.
“I’ll be fine, thanks..” He let a quick smile slip to show he was trying to be genuine rather than an asshole about things- usually, the effort wasn't something he cared about, but after someone jumps off a bridge with you into a freezing stream you tend to think they're your friend.
