The Best Days
To: @frostedge (Kristi) From: @scout-the-prep (Lucy I hope you enjoy this lil piece of fluff! Have a lovely Christmas!!! I’ve loved getting to know you and your characters, you seem like such a nice person! Here you go!
The best days are the ones where you arrive back home short of breath, with shining eyes and sand in your shoes, with each grain holding a different happy, smiling memory. The best days are the ones spent with the person you love, where the dying light is illuminated by their smile. The best days, the ones you remember the most, are spontaneous, unplanned and silly, with a feeling of unmistakable joy and weightlessness. — Clement giggled as Hyunwoo took his hand, pulling him along the soft white sand. Hyunwoo seemed full of energy, which was unusual but Clement hardly noticed - his senses were full of the salty taste, smell and beauty of the turquoise waves rising high in front of them. Hyunwoo, too, seemed in awe of the beauty of the beach, with its rolling pale sand dunes and palm trees lining the boardwalk.
They had arrived a few hours earlier, at the pier, and had stuffed their faces with popcorn, candy floss and every fried item under the sun. Now they were running, as free as the seagulls, along the bay, with the cool wind ruffling their hair. Clement had never felt so alive, and with Hyunwoo next to him, he felt… invincible.
He hardly had time to register this before Hyunwoo was pulling him into the waves, laughing as Clement struggled for breath. Their expression changed in a second as Clement submerged them with a huge grin on his face. The game soon turned into a wild, frenzied splashing competition leaving both sides breathless with laughing.
As they both emerged, soaking wet and grinning, onto the sand, Hyunwoo noticed the fading light above them. The duo linked hands once again and watched the pink hues of the sunset change into vivid orange splashes across the sky, infused with purples and blues. Hyunwoo glanced over at Clement, still with his head in the stars. They squeezed his hand and whispered three words into his ear. Clement blushed and gazed back at Hyunwoo, repeating the words slowly, tasting each one on his tongue before releasing them into the star studded night sky.
The two looked into each other eyes for what seemed like eternity, until Clement broke the silence by leaning into Hyunwoos lips, for a brief, fleeting, yet infinite moment of love.
