Jack stared out at the ocean; it sparkled and frothed and rippled as it met the sand- teeming with life. Who knew what cute and dangerous creatures lurked out there- what hidden treasures lay at the bottom, long forgotten? It was beautiful, awash with colour and life. There was really nowhere he would rather be.
The sun was setting- hanging in the balance just on the fringes of the horizon- soothing the tired world by releasing waves of otherworldly colour for all to bathe in. Soon it would drop below, and hide for the night, leaving the sky free for the cool moon and the stars- the only proof of its existence wispy trails of red and orange scouring the sparse clouds. The remainder of the light was reflected on the ocean- a wash of watery beads, each unique.
Jack turned as he heard approaching footsteps in the sand, happy to see his lover. As Dan got closer, Jack turned once again to watch the show, feeling arms possessively snake around his waist and fingers brush lightly and deliberately over the skin of his abdomen. Jack entwined his own fingers in that roaming hand, and leant back against the other boy, allowing Dan to support his entire weight. He trusted Dan. Dan would never drop him.
Jack squeezed his hand lightly, and then spun himself around to face the other boy- claiming his lips in a kiss before he had a chance to complain. Not that Dan would complain.
Reluctantly breaking the kiss, Jack looked up at Dan. Deep, beautiful emerald orbs met his gaze- drenching him in that warm feeling of possession. Their faces stood centimetres apart, Dan’s messy brown locks tickling both their foreheads. Jack breathed in as Dan breathed out; Dan breathed in as Jack breathed out. They were a part of each other in every way.
Dan moved in towards him this time, locking them together- feeding at Jack’s mouth like he hadn’t eaten in years. Jack lapped up that flavour and scent that was Dan- fresh grass, diesel and something else musky and masculine that Jack had never quite been able to put his finger on- no matter how many times he sampled it.
Jack didn’t know what he had done to deserve someone so perfect. His body melted into Dan’s, aligning with his cut form perfectly. He was the best he was ever had, and Dan thought just the same of him.
