Sunburn Fear || Aria & Sean

[mont-aria]

Aria listened to Sean’s reason and nodded her head, “good plan, I didn’t even think about our potential vomit output.”  Shaking her head, Ariablet out a soft laugh, “don’t be embarassed about the flowers. They were beautiful, it was just not a good time to send your ex’s best friend flowers.” Winking playfully at Sean, Aria habitually stood on her toes to look around the park, trying to observe who seemed to be having the most fun on rides. Her eyes rested on two people who came flying out on a double tube, screaming and laughing.  Pointing, Aria exclaimed excitedly, “How about that one?!”

Sean blushed at Aria's description behind the sending of the flowers, but he was right, after all. He couldn't help but smile as she stood on tip toe to examine the best ride choice. Her elfin size had always been endearing to him, even before he knew her name or her personality. He chuckled at the excitement in her eyes, offering the petite girl a high five. "As long as we have as much fun as those daring weirdos, let's go." Sean started walking to the slide in question, eager to begin his arrival to Rosewood in pure fun.

“Possibly.”

"You look like a young Liz Taylor in that swimsuit."

[chris--torres]

“In my car” Chris shrugged.

"Want me to get it out for you?"

[itsspencerhastings]

“Well, well, well,” Spencer said, raising up on her elbows to smile at the male, “if it isn’t Sean Ackard, long time no see,” the brunette shifted to better face him, “yeah you picked a good time to come back, but out of curiosity, what brings you back?”

[imseanackard-blog]

"Why did I pick a good time?" He tilted his head and looked at her in confusion, wondering what she meant. "I missed my family. A lot of things changed when I went to boarding school, and I kinda missed it here. Even amidst all the weird shit." He let out a small chuckle, noticing the understatement of the century. "How are you holding up?"

[cc-darkbloom]

Cece felt herself laugh slightly as Sean walked around in front of her, “yeah, I-um-I’m alright,” she said forcing a small smile, “I-I just got here, so I haven’t had much fun but maybe I will…” she stammered on, “how have you been Sean?” she finally asked, hoping to change the subject.

[imseanackard-blog]

"I've been fine." The male stuck his hands in his shorts pockets, nodding his affirmation. If the girl didn't want to speak on negative subjects, he was fine with it. Seemed to be a lot of that going on anyways. He took a sip of the whiskey from his cup, sitting in the sand and eyeing the surroundings. "Did ya miss me?"

“I hope not or I’ll start to feel horribly paranoid in my own home.” Frank couldn’t help but laugh at the thought. “Because if they do exist, you can bet in my grandma being one to check up on us all. And since I live in her old house, she’d probably spend most of her time stalking me.” The former stranger seemed to read his mind and promptly answered his unasked question. “Ah, I see. You have a relative around here, don’t you? Cousin or something?” Busily inquiring, he almost forgot to introduce himself. “Oh and I’m Francesco Manero. But please, call me Frank like the rest of the world.” Letting his gaze wander, he saw the chance arise to do a good deed - what a surprise considering he was at a rather strange party he felt somewhat out of place at. “Well, if you need something now and think you could pull off being a waiter, I can recommend you to Rive Gauche. I used to work there for quite a while until I got my novel published and as far as I’m informed, they haven’t replaced me yet.” He mentioned with a dismissive shrug.

[imseanackard-blog]

Frank's words made Sean shudder. Growing up here, a lot of things were hid from him. Although his own family didn't keep secrets that he knew of, he was sure most of the people he had gotten involved with had a much bigger agenda. Being back made him nervous, but at the same time, it was still his home. If it didn't work out, he could always go back to boarding school and clear his mind yet again. Nodding his head in confirmation in regards to Dex, he sipped casually from his drink. "Yeah. Dex and his brother are my cousins. Plus my parents live here. I grew up here. I'll definitely call you Frank. That name is a mouthful, man." Sean laughed lightly, following Frank's gaze. "Really? That'd be awesome. I could do waiting. I've done a few odd jobs, and my family owns a dental business, but I don't have a degree for that. That'd be awesome, and I'd definitely owe you one? I like wearing tuxes, and I like to think I'm a pretty friendly patient person. It's perfect."

Mikey sighed “Noel is ..sweet, but no theres no weirdness in that” he giggled taking another sip of his drink. Mikey felt a bit more tipsy because of the frequent sips of his drink “Yeah this is a shit time for me… but I’m just gonna try and get through the next few days and hopefully everything will be okay” he smiled “So you gonna go for a dip, you gonna show me how to swim?” he winked.

[imseanackard-blog]

"Sweet? Noel?" Sean couldn't help but raise an eyebrow humorously. "Whatever you say. Like I said, maybe he's changed, but we got up to a lot in Rosewood for sure back in the day. Not that long ago, really. I'm not that old." Sean patted Mike on the shoulder and smiled. "Yep, that's the spirit. We'll get over it, if just for the time we're here. There's a lot of things to do to keep your mind off it. A dip sounds fine to me. I knew I wore board shorts for a reason." Sean pointed to the water, indicating that Mikey should follow him. "You want a swimming lesson from me?"

Sunburn Fear || Aria & Sean

[mont-aria]

Smirking as Sean rubbed the sunblock onto his chest, Aria spoke happily, “How about we just make it a fun time and go get slushies together? I’ll pay, especially since I’m sure we’ll both get burnt today!” Aria stood up, giving her legs a little stretch before pulling her tank top and shorts off. Beneath it, Aria donned a rainbow leopard print two piece bikini. “I’m ready for action. Slushies and then a ride? Or a ride and then slushies that we can spike with rum?” 

[imseanackard-blog]

"You don't have to pay. We can split? I'll buy yours, you buy mine?" He shrugged his shoulders and grinned at her chipper attitude, which hadn't changed that he'd noticed. She'd been through so much, but she never failed to see the sunny side- literally, in this case. "There's slushes here? Well, call me prepared." Sean stood as Aria did, dusting the sand off of his swim trunks. He thought hard on the question, 'hmmm-ing' as he closed his eyes to mull it over. "Ride first. That way, we won't have a stomach full of sloshed alcohol. I've already embarrassed myself by sending you flowers back in the day, I'd rather not puke red slush onto such a hot bikini. Let's go." The male grinned and spotted the rides from a distance, seeing that it wouldn't be that long of a walk from where they were. "What do you want to ride first, Montgomery?"

Text | Dex & Sean

Dex: A- A-A- A...A Kardashian.

Dex: DAMN DUDE. WAY TO BURN HER

Dex: I'll see you in a bit, favourite cousin of mine.

Sean: Now picturing K- Stew with Kim's ass, and it's hilarious.

Sean: It's cool, I'll get her some ice for it.

Sean: I better be your favorite. There'd be repercussions if not!

[mikeykeen-deactivated20150716]

Mikey tried to keep his face as straight as possible “Is that it? I think you should take notes from Noel Kahn.. he is the one to watch” Mikey winked taking another swig “I am definitely not a stalker trying to kill you.. I’m just… I’m just trying to get through the next few days” he murmured, trying not to talk about what had occurred to this handsome stranger. “Yeah sure” he smiled pouring some into Seans cup. 

[imseanackard-blog]

"Noel used to be my best friend. There's no telling where he's at now, though. I wish he'd come back. Is it weird to miss my male best friend?" Sean laughed, knowing that mostly everyone thought Noel had that charm he himself didn't. It had to the the eyes, according to the female Rosewood residents. "Next few days, huh? I can understand that. Drama, I mean. Why not just take a go at enjoying this slightly creepy event, though? Just in case the next few days don't go your way." He sipped from his drink which was now fuller thanks to Mikey, swallowing the liquid with a contented sigh.

[francescomanero]

“Surely not. Nothing but mindless superstition.” Frank shrugged again, almost certain he had just managed to make the weirdest first impression ever. Raising an eyebrow, he studied the other male a little more closely. He looked familiar but more like he only vaguely reminded him of someone thus he was still certain they hadn’t met before. “Sounds like you’re very much in need of a job.”

[imseanackard-blog]

“Are you sure? Maybe ghosts do exist.” The male wasn’t too read up on the matter, and with his pastor father, he wasn’t too inclined to give it much thought- or so his family thought. Sean stared back at the guy he was sitting beside, wondering what he was thinking. “Oh. I’m Sean Ackard. Not sure if that’s what you’re trying to piece together or not.” With a chuckle and a nod of his head, he sighed. “I’m in need of a job, yeah. I just moved back here, so sooner rather than later is fine by me. Hopefully after….this.” He gestured to the theme park’s surroundings, still unsure as to how he got invited and who the unfamiliar faces were.

[mikeykeen-deactivated20150716]

Mikey giggled, kicking himself inside that he was that obvious about checking shaun out, “I wasn’t being shy.. I’m just not that interested in what you got to show” he winked, a little banter is always good “Snap!” he grinned holding up his flask.

[imseanackard-blog]

“Right. You can pretend I’m not Adonis’ twin all you want.” The male jokingly flexed what little bicep he had, shrugging his shoulders and smirking. “I’m not interested either. Nothing wrong with making a friend, though. Unless you’re a stalker killer trying to hurt me or something.” Sean glance at the flask, then back at his whiskey. “Hm. Pour me some in my cup. I’m feeling adventurous.”

Text | Dex & Sean

Dex: Oh my god. Dudeeeeee

Dex: It was an okay movie. Kristen Stewart annoys me though.

Dex: I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE EDWARD!

Sean: SAY IT, BELLA.

Sean: No, she is annoying. I think it's just because she likes to get high and kill all her acting brain cells. That has to be it. Who doesn't she annoy?

Sean: It was stupid, but Hanna wanted me to. You do what you gotta do.

[mikeykeen-deactivated20150716]

Mikey just smiled, of course he didn’t mind if a drop dead gorgeous guy just sat with him and rubbed sun block on his perfectly chissled body - but Mikey had to ask like he wasn’t looking “No of course not” he chirped taking another swig of his flask.

[imseanackard-blog]

"You don't have to be shy about looking at me. I'm not that dense." Sean laughed in a friendly manner, going about making sure the sun wouldn't wound him too badly. "I think I might be one of the palest here, so I just have to be safe. Plus, I'm not weird about guys liking guys or whatever." Sean grew up with a pastor father, and had had many values down the line,but as he got older he realized it was just ridiculous to not have formed his own ideas on humanity at his age. As the boy sipped from his flask, he sipped from his own cup. "What's your poison? I brought whiskey."

[imseanackard-blog]

Text | Dex & Sean

Dex: You'll be fine. Wait. Edward Cullen? Did Hanna force you to watch Twilight or something?

Sean: What? I can't watch Twilight on my own, man?

Sean:....maybe she did. Don't mock me.

[imseanackard-blog]

Text | Dex & Sean

Dex: my brother, that’s all. I’m fine dude. Don’t worry. But yeah, I’ll see if I can spot you. See you in a bit!

Sean: I'm the palest guy here, dude. You'll definitely see me glowing like Edward Cullen.

Sunburn Fear || Aria & Sean

[mont-aria]

Noticing the voice of Sean, Aria looked up and smiled. “Of course you can use it! Use all you need!” Her eyes trailed up and down Sean, evaluating his skin tone, “I think you are a different shade of pale than me.” Aria leaned forward a bit, her hair falling across the table and held her arm out beside Sean’s. “What do you think? Almost the same?” 

[imseanackard-blog]

Sean looked at both of their arms, fixing his gaze on each one and taking the question more seriously than he probably should have. "I might just be paler. Hand it over." Sean chuckled playfully, taking the SPF from his old friend with a muttered thanks. He rubbed some on his bare chest and the rest of whatever exposed parts he could find. "Hope that's enough. Whoever ends up the lobster owes another a slush. One day."
