The sun has started setting not so long ago, orange and pinkish colors swimming across the sky, mutedly reflecting on the waves of sea.
Tides were washing over their feets, wetting up the blanket where they were laying.
Wooden picnic basket was still filled with cut fresh fruits. It was several hours since they arrived at the beach, immediately running off into sea water to cool down, completely forgetting about their food. Akk's joy was immense, being again by the sea, feeling the calmness only the sea could provide.
Now, looking at Akk who has a relaxed expression and carefree smile, Ayan feels at peace.
He noticed during the week that Akk's expression has been becoming tighter and more grimy day by day. He could see Akk reaching the breaking point during the last day of the school week. The decision to travel to the beach and have a picnic there was already made during the first days of the week and everything was already prepared and loaded into Ayan's car including clothes and swim trunks of them both.
"Thank you," a soft whisper pulls him out of his thoughts.
Akk is softly gazing at him when Ayan turns towards him and Ayan cannot stop the tender smile which spreads across his lips.
"There is no need to thank me, bigfoot." Before Akk has a chance to argue back, Ayan leans over him and silents his protests with a quick kiss.
"Aye! We are in public!" Akk turns flustered and looks around to see if someone saw the small display of affection.
"Akkk, it was just a small kiss! It is not like I started making out with you and making you moan out loud!" Akk's cheeks and ears grow even more red after that when Ayan giggles at his reaction.
Akk knows Aye is right but he is still getting used to receiving this kind of intimate affection, especially when they are outside, out of comfort of their apartment. But it is still better here than if they were outside in the city.
It is not only because the beach is almost empty. However weird and funny it might sound to some people, Akk always felt more at ease by the water, especially by the sea. More comfortable, more like he belonged, more safe.
Which might sound strange to some because of the strength and power this mass of water has.
"Come on bigfoot, don't be mad at me, mm?" Ayan's puppy eyes are looking at him with pretend sadness, lower lip jutted out in exaggerated pout.
Akk could never be mad at him. Even if Ayan kissed him outside in the middle of Bangkok during rush hours with hundreds of cars and bikes driving around them, Akk wouldn't be mad. He would definitely turn red and stutter, trying to avoid Ayan's laughing eyes, though.
But he also knows that Ayan wouldn't kiss him like that without getting agreement from Akk.
Ayan knows what Akk hard stops are and however Akk might act annoyed, it is only the act and they both know that Akk is okay with that.
Akk can see tiny flames of mischief dancing in Aye’s eyes, lighting up his eyes as fireflies light up the dark sky.
He rolls his eyes in fondness and quickly smooches his forehead to soothe his pouty boyfriend.
Ayan's face brightens and Akk feels that even if the world would turn dark right now, Akk and his life would still be surrounded by light, by Ayan.
Akk turns around to finally open their wooden basket and pulls out containers with cut strawberries and pineapples.
"Eat shortstop, the hunger is getting to you"
"Will you feed me?" Akk fondly rolls eyes and plops one strawberry into Ayan's open waiting mouth.
Wet heat quickly envelops his fingers when Ayan closes his mouth around them, tongue licking off sticky juice off them when staring right into his eyes.
When Ayan lets his fingers free, Akk quickly yanks them away with deep blush decorating his cheeks.
He throws two pieces of pineapple into his own mouth, trying to cool down, which under Ayan's heavy, dark gaze, ends up being impossible.
"I guess we should eat a lot of pineapple so we would have a sweet night, what do you think, boyfriend?" Ayan cheekily smiles and with loud laughter rolls away into sand to run away from red-faced Akk who is reaching out his hands in preparation for tickling.
