sand in uncomfortable places: the meme

So you need a vacation. The weather's nice, so why not hit the beach?



So here are the rules:

1. Comment with your character and put their name and canon in the subject line.
2. Do beach stuff with whoever threads with you. Go tanning. Collect seashells. Have a picnic. Swim. Surf. Visit the little resort. Almost drown. Reenact Baywatch. Get stranded at sea in a canoe. Day or night. Do your own thing.
3. There is no need for RNG here, just have fun. :)

Because you weren't the one ducked underwater.

[ she circles, and it means something that he doesn't move with her, that she's allowed at his back. and true, part of it is that he's still waterlogged, blinking salt from his eyes and in no mood for more splashing about.

but part of it is that he trusts her enough to let himself be defenseless. to let her tread through water and disappear out of his line of sight without worrying something bad may come of it. ]

[ and you see, that's not wise, robb stark. ]

[ because now? ]

[ now you're getting dunked under water again. ]

[ alkgjdlkfajlkdsajg

when he comes up he spits the salt water at her, then curses, coughing. you'd think he'd be more prepared for this by now. ]


Asha!

[ prepare yourself this time, because she's trying it again. and laughing at your expense. this is almost a little too rowdy, too friendly, too playful - in the back of her mind she assures herself that she is trying to drown him; it's just not working. ]

Robb.

[ mocking. mocking works where drowning fails, but that's too playful, too! ]

[ it's ridiculous, in its way. it's the sort of play he'd once reserved for girls he'd liked, more flirtation than actual attempts at drowning. he catches her hands, thumbs skimming the inside of her wrists, more affection than he'd like in the gesture. ]

If you drown me, who'll help you wash off all that salt water later?

[ and that's to temper it, to case the affection in the physical, in shared showers and what the pair of them typically got up to in there. ]

I can bathe myself. [ she retorts easily, and though she thrashes a little in his grip, asha really has no problem with him holding her wrists. a little restraint never went wrong, though that brush of the pads of his thumbs would prove worthy of some reprimand if he continued to do it. ]

[ she looks him up and down briefly, and the ever-present greyjoy smirk manifests with a strong intensity. ]


You tend to prove a distraction.

[personal profile] inheritings 2012-05-20 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I thought you had better focus than that.

[ the smirk makes his stomach twist, as it always does, makes him pull her a bit closer. their knees bang together again, his thumbs pressing against the pulse in her wrist.

his words are a challenge. and in a minute they'll have to swim back, before someone realizes how long they've been gone and thinks to ask, thinks to question what a wolf and a kraken were doing out so long in teh wavs.

but before that, before that he can spare a moment to challenge here. ]

[ her eyes widen in (almost pleasant) surprise at that, but she allows him to pull her, moves in the water with him; let's their knees bang and not even much minding. torn between bemused and disgruntled is his challenge, asha pulls on her wrists lightly just to see if he had any give, and wriggles closerto bring them face to face, features so close that she could kiss his nose. ]

[ or bite it, as was more like. gently, of course. ]

[ and when she spoke it was quietly, privately, words and breath - and challenge easing over him like the salt water. ]

I could row with your hand down my shorts, and I'd still beat all the teams in this state.

[personal profile] inheritings 2012-05-26 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ there's a sudden smile, sharp-edged and wolfish, at her words. this is what keeps hooks in robb stark, the way asha pushes and pushes and pushes at him in every way possible. he leans in, almost to kiss her, but thinks better of it at the last minute, splashes salt water at her face before pushing away, paddling towards. ]

Maybe someday we'll test that theory.

[ but they never would, because this was a clandestine affair, wasn't it? or it was meant to be, even if the two of them were exceedingly bad at subtlety.

[ she almost laughs, but it's cut short after one ha and she makes to splash him back. ]

I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you?

[ not that it will ever happen. some time perhaps she'd invite him to the hotel gym at one in the morning and let him do it while she worked the erg machine. the boy was an athlete, or had been; he wouldn't mind a little sweat, and who knows - perhaps she'd burn double the calories by having an orgasm while erging~ ]

[ shame her time in america was drawing to a close. ]
