Sonico wasn't the only one who had been excited for this. Athrun was normally pretty indifferent toward the beach, but going there with Sonico made it a whole different story.

"Come on. Let's find a place to set up shop."

Athrun led the way down from the path to the beach, and within a few minutes, found a good place to put their stuff -- not too far from the water, but not close enough to get wet. Athrun took the beach chairs and placed them in the sand next to each other, then set up the shade behind them. Once everything was set up, he took his shirt and sandals off, stuffing them in his own bag and leaving him clad only in his red swimming trunks.

[sonicosuper]

While Athrun set up the chairs, Sonico put down the ice box and the picnic hamper just beside them, where they would also be slightly shaded. She stood up and brushed some sand from her hands, watching as Athrun disrobed to his swimming trunks. She bluahed lightly as she did so, aware her eyes were wandering and trying to take it all in at once.

Finally, she smiled at him, then pulled off her summer dress to reveal a simple but rather attractive pink bikini. That done, she folded it over the back of one of the chairs. "Sunbathing first, or water?"

[infinitejustice]

Now it was Athrun's turn to blush. Sonico looked so gorgeous and sexy in a bikini that it was probably unfair, and Athrun wouldn't deny as much if asked. He also had to keep his eyes from wandering too much, particularly on her ample chest.

"Um, uh, I don't really mind either way." They could probably have plenty of fun in the surf, whereas simply lying on the beach would let them both eat up the eye candy. "Maybe let's enjoy the sun for a bit, then cool off in the waves?"

[sonicosuper]

When Sonico turned she saw how Athrun looked at her. In truth, she quite liked the thrill that it gave her, cheeks flushed pink and now not just because of the heat.

"That sounds like a good idea." Sonico smiled in agreement and sat down on one of the beach chairs. She hummed to herself happily as she began to tie her hair up. Then she opened up her beach bag and got out the sun screen. She started rubbing it into her arms and legs, and held the bottle out to him, "Want some? I don't want to burn..."

[infinitejustice]

Athrun raised his hand up and shook his head. "I took care of that before we got here. I'm ready to go."

For now, Athrun merely contented himself with watching Sonico apply sunscreen to her body. As he did, he reclined his beach chair and leaned back.

[sonicosuper]

"Always so forward thinking." Sonico smiled at him warmly as she finished rubbing the cream into her chest. Finally, she turned and glanced at him over her shoulder. Flushing, she held out the bottle to him. "Would you...do my back?"

[infinitejustice]

Sonico's request gets Athrun to blush further. There's probably only one other way to get him more flustered, but he keeps it together.

"Um. Yes. Sure." Sonico's skin health aside, a part of him deep down wants to be able to touch her in her current state of dress, feel her mostly bare curves beneath his own hands. He got up from his chair, took the sunscreen, and gently began to rub some into Sonico's back starting from the shoulders and working his way down.

[sonicosuper]

With her hair tied up, it would be easy for him to reach her neck and her shoulders. At first, Sonico just closed her eyes and sighed softly at how nice the pressure of his hands felt on her shoulders. But the further his hands moved, the more she felt herself blush at how good it was, just to have his hands on her. "Th-thank you..." Sure, suncream wasn't the sexiest thing in the world, but Sonico found herself really rather flustered.

[infinitejustice]

Athrun, meanwhile, was engrossed in his task, all attention on his hands and on Sonico's back. It felt good, very good, to run his hands up and down, all around her back, feel all the contours, with just a bit of sunscreen between them.

"You're welcome."

It's only because the response is so ingrained in Athrun's mind that it came from his mouth so fluidly. Otherwise, he might have stammered, too.

"I think I, uh, I got e-everything."

[sonicosuper]

"Oh." It hadn't quite occured to Sonico that obviously at some point he would want to stop. She cleared her throat and turned back around, then busied about putting the suncream away and putting on her sunglasses. Next, she leaned over to peer into the coolbox. "Would you like something to drink?"

[infinitejustice]

Athrun did his best not to look when Sonico bent over. He'd probably short-circuit if he did, with that bikini top she's wearing.

"Do we have any cola in there? I think that's what I'd like right now."

[sonicosuper]

"Sure." Sonico smiles and brings two bottles of cola, passing one to him. As she opens her own, beads of water drop down onto her chest, but she ignores that just to enjoy the cool, sweet drink. "It's lovely out here. I'm so glad we came."

[infinitejustice]

Athrun accepted his cola happily and popped his bottle open. However, he ended up taking notice of Sonico's chest, drops of water glistening on it. Immediately he whipped his head away, hoping against hope that his cheeks weren't red. Immediately he stuffed the mouth of the bottle into his own mouth and downed a mouthful of soft drink.

[sonicosuper]

Sonico licked her lips when she was done and put the bottle back. Then she settled back on her chair with a happy sigh of relief. "This is perfect, Athrun. I'm so glad we decided to come here... It's good to relax with you."

[infinitejustice]

"I agree. I'm glad, too."

Athrun looked back over at Sonico and smiled warmly at her. Then, he reached his hand out toward her for her to take. They were close enough for it.

[sonicosuper]

Sonico slipped her hand into his comfortably, giving it a small squeeze. With her free hand she lifts her sunglasses so that she can look at him properly while she smiled, then lowered them again as she lay back. "It's good to be so relaxed..."

[infinitejustice]

"It is. I never get the chance to do things like this as much as I should."

Athrun sat back in his chair. "Even better is being able to do it with you. I love spending time with you like this."

[sonicosuper]

Sonico laughed softly and smiled as she lay back, then sighed happily in relief. "We should have fun like this more often... It feels so good being here, doesn't it?"

[infinitejustice]

"It does. I actually feel so comfortable I'm feeling sleepy."

Sure enough, Athrun's eyes were about halfway closed at that point. The warmth of the sun along with the refreshing sea breeze left him feeling very content.

[sonicosuper]

Sonico took her hand out of his, instead letting her fingers run gently up and down his arm. "Why don't you let yourself have a nice nap? I can wake you up soon, if you like."

[infinitejustice]

"Well...if that's all right with you, then I suppose I could."

Athrun dug into his own bag for a moment and pulled out his own sunglasses. He slid them on and leaned back into his chair, letting Sonico continue to freely run her fingers along his arm. The sunglasses were too dark to tell if his eyes were really closed, but it was a likely possibility.

[sonicosuper]

While Athrun appeared to be sleeping, Sonico would listen to her music, eventually stopping stroking his arm in case she woke him. When it did finally come time to rouse him from his nap, Sonico got up from her chair and leaned over his to kiss his forehead, "Time to wake up.."

[infinitejustice]

Athrun stirred at the kiss. He opened his eyes and found himself rubbing his froehead, where Sonico had kissed him. He then removes his sunglasses.

"How long did I sleep?"

[sonicosuper]

Seeing Athrun rub his forehead where she'd kissed him makes her giggle - rather than be offended, she just is amused that maybe he doesn't realise why he's rubbing there.

"Not too long. About an hour. I would have woken you sooner, but you were pretty deeply asleep." Sonico smiles again, and this time as she leans over him, her kiss aims for his lips instead.

[infinitejustice]

Athrun remained still as Sonico went in to kiss him. When she did, he kissed her right back. Once they broke, he smiled.

"I think I like having you wake me up."
