A/N: I use a couple of images where some of the guys are being cuddly with each other. I'm using them though, mostly as a visual to how they are holding Daisy.
I check on Jimin and Hobi since they weren't feeling very well. Jimin is already sound asleep so I kiss him on the forehead before switching rooms. Unlike Jimin, Hobi isn't fairing very well. He looks kind of green so I first wet a washcloth and place it over his forehead before deciding to cuddle with him. I may prefer to be the little spoon, but I choose to be the big spoon this time for his sake. I must doze off for a little bit because my eyes flutter open when someone starts rubbing my back. I turn toward him and smile up at Yoongi.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask him.
"I was wondering if you wanted to take the waverunners out with me." My face must express my complete shock because he laughs for a second, and then further explains himself. "I may hate water, but I have enjoyed a few water sports regardless. I missed out on the opportunity the last time we had access to waverunners. I don't want to miss out now. I just wanted to wait until there were less people on the water. I talked to Jk, Jin, Namjoon, and Taehyung. They are all planning on relaxing, so other than Luiz it will just be you and me on the water."
I nod. "Did you want to share a waverunner or ride separately?" He gives me a look like the answer is completely and utterly obvious. "Okay, share it is." I smirk back at him.
I'm not surprised that his hesitancy is even greater than Jin's. It isn't until we've been on the water for ten minutes before he begins to speed around the water. Then his whoops of excitement have me almost rolling in laughter. The only thing keeping me in my seat is the way I have my arms folded around him.
When we get back and put the waverunners up for good he pulls me to him. The thrill of the ride still clearly on his face, and excitement still dancing in his eyes. His lips lower to mine and while this isn't our first kiss we share it is definitely the most passionate. His lips eager and his tongue doing a thorough job of exploring the recesses of my mouth. It is the clearing of throats that has us pulling away. I pull away and grin sheepishly at the others who just end up chuckling at my expression. I covertly whisper to Yoongi. "We always get caught when we do that."
He doesn't respond, only smiles softly at me.
We are seated back at the table as the ship heads back to shore. The sun descends lower in the western sky. When we get to the pier the guys surprise me by announcing that the day isn't over yet. Jin and Joon grab opposite handles of a large cooler that was stowed away in the marina, and Hobi drags me further down the beach. "Should we really be here? In the open like this."
Jimin points out the houses further inland. "The houses are all owned by celebrities. Even though this beach is private to them we asked them if we could spend a few hours here."
Once a blanket is laid out Jk doesn't hesitate to pull me between his legs and wrap himself around me. He's being clingy, more like a monkey than cuddly like a bunny, but I can't deny how much I love just sitting here in the cocoon of his arms and legs. I find myself enjoying the slight breeze that is coming off the water drifting over our forms on the beach.
At one point the guys set up a volleyball net. I frown up at the contraption made of strings. I've never been a fan of volleyball, and I don't doubt that beach volleyball is much worse. When I verbalize my noninterest Jimin decides to take up the place behind me that Jk vacated. "How are you feeling?" I turn my head to ask him.
"Better. I don't get motion sick often, but when it hits all I want to do is rest." I nod my head in understanding.
He wraps his arms securely around me. "I can't keep from replaying our discussion yesterday morning."
I bite my lower lip to keep the smirk from forming. "Is that all you keep thinking about?"
He chuckles and leans in closer. His breath fanning over my ear which definitely heightens my natural response to his closeness. "I'm sure you already know that, that isn't the case at all. I have a vast imagination."
I turn my attention to the game. This conversation is reaching dangerous territory. It doesn't take me long to figure out that Joon, Jk, and Hobi are winning against Jin, Suga, and Tae. But the gap between the score isn't astronomical. It's honestly a pretty close game with only a few points separating the two teams.
I would think when it comes to sports it would be Jk that would always draw my attention, but I find that isn't the case during this game. Tae is really throwing himself into it. Hobi is doing a great job of setting up for some ruthless spikes that Tae sends over the net. I almost feel like I am able to play his movements in slow motion. The tension in his muscles was a visual I didn't know I needed to peruse over until this moment. His muscles may not be as obvious as Jk's, but the tone is definitely being broadcast by the flexing of his movements now.
Once the game is over we all sit down and have a picnic on the sand. "I've always loved picnics." I vocalize. "I'm a little concerned about the sand though."
They all shrug and assure me we will just be careful. I glance over my shoulder to locate the sun behind us. I kind of wish we were on the west coast so we could see the sun setting over the water. I know though that this won't be the last sunset we see together. Jk gets out one of his many digital slr cameras and encourages us all to go enjoy the water before we have to leave for the night. Even though I'm not a terrible fan of being in front of the camera I suck it up when Hobi reaches down to pull me to where the tide is rolling in.
All too soon it is time to pack things up and head back to the house. I pout for only a moment before conceding. "This was an amazing day." I mutter. Then turn to look into each of their eyes. "Thank you. The past two days are going to make some amazing memories of our first moments together."
When we get back home I plop into the nearest couch. Jimin plops next to me because the others all voice that they need to take showers after being in the ocean and sweating due to their volleyball game. I nod in understanding. I almost expect Jimin to take advantage of our alone time, but he surprises me by grabbing the remotes and turning on the television.
I don't watch as he makes his selection but when the background music to Ed Sheeran's 'Perfect' starts playing I can't keep the smile from popping on my face. Then I'm melting because Jimin's sweet melodic voice is singing the lyrics softly into my ear.
When the 'dancing in the dark' lyric pops up Tae's raspy voice comes from the stairs. He strides toward me in only a few steps and doesn't hesitate to pull me out of Jimin's arms. The next thing I know we are suddenly dancing in a way I always dreamed I would with my soulmate. He spins me away from him and just as suddenly I'm in my bunny's arms. His angelic voice picks up the lyrics where Tae left off. I laugh for a second and Jk abandons the lyrics so he can let that sweet bunny smile grow wide before he bites his lip. The other two had picked the lyrics back up and his vocals rejoins theirs before he too spins me away. Wrapping my arms around the neck of mister 'Worldwide Handsome' is somehow still surreal. He lightly kisses my lips before he sings the next line. Then Hobi is stealing me away and he too begins singing the lyrics softly. I don't know why but I always forget how beautiful Hobi's voice is since I hear him rapping much more often than singing. Hobi spins me away, and I'm in Yoongi's arms. It's obvious he's a bit more nervous with the waltz-like movements but that doesn't stop his gummy smile from being the widest I have ever seen it. The song is nearly over when I have taken a swaying spin or two with Joon before I am pulled away from him too. Jimin started the song, and he is determined to finish it. After he sings the last note he pulls me to him and softly kisses my lips. If he hadn't had his arms around me I probably would have fallen because my knees definitely went weak even though it was barely more than a peck.
Not long after I go up to get ready for bed myself. I catch my reflection in the mirror as I pass the vanity and notice about a dozen more freckles decorating the bridge of my nose. I roll my eyes at my own likeness before getting in the shower.
I've learned at this point to always remember to bring my pajamas in the bathroom with me, and I'm thankful for that consideration once again when I find my bed occupied. "I wanted to spend time with you. I missed you."
"Wasn't me being cuddled up to your back while we were on waverunners enough for you today?" I ask him.
He leans up and pulls me down to the mattress with him. "Don't you know, Daisy? No amount of time will ever measure as enough when it comes to spending with you."
I don't know how we got into the position but suddenly I am laying fully against his prone body. I bite my lower lip nervously. "Hi, Bear."
"Hi." His shier smile appears on his face. He traces the bridge of my nose with his fingertips. "You have more freckles." His smile grows wider.
I hide my face into his collarbone. "Ugh, don't remind me."
I feel his chuckling response vibrating against me more than hear it. "I think your freckles are adorable."
"Bleh." I respond more with a phonetic sound than actual words at first. "Maybe when I was younger, now they are just--- Yeah bleh about sums it up."
Before I can make sense of what is happening my room is spinning around me, and my back is flush against the mattress. "There is no part of you that I don't find a perfect mix of adorable and beautiful. Do I have to prove to you how much I desire you?"
He asks the question but he seems to punctuate the meaning by pressing his pelvis fully against mine. The evidence of his arousal is impossible to mistake for anything else. I find myself spreading my legs to him automatically and his body finds a new home in the gap I have created. Instead of shying away like part of my brain wants me to, I cradle him in a way so that we are perfectly jigsawed together. "I think that fact is pretty obvious, Bear." I answer his rhetorical question and bite my lower lip in anticipation of his next move.
Then I'm releasing the plump flesh from where I have it grasped between my teeth because his upper body is leaning towards me and his face is closing in on my own. When his lips come in contact with mine I already know this will be a stark difference to the other times we have kissed. I realize even the kiss today on the boat doesn't compare. His lips are more hesitant, but not in fear or concern. No, this time he is proclaiming his unwavering devotion by the touch this time. The pads of his fingers skate across my neck and I can't control the shiver or the goosebumps that appear in response. When his lips pull away he grins at me. "Do you know what bears crave more than anything else, Daisy?"
Apparently he kissed me senseless, either that or the drastic change in subject had taken me completely off guard. "Umm. Fish?"
He laughed. One of his full blown ones that he doesn't show very often. "Not where I was going, but not completely wrong either. Honey." He kisses me on the nose, which automatically scrunches in response to said action. "I was thinking that I want to call you that." I smile warmly up at him. "I was curious if I could stay here tonight."
It's not actually stated as a question, but I take it as such when I nod at him.
