[ yuri takes a slow, deep breath, and lets it out with a faint woosh of air. he rolls his neck a few times and shakes out all of his limbs, looking almost as though he's getting ready to start doing some cardio or something. yuri turns and looks at finn again and smiles as he holds out a hand to him. ]
Come on. Let's go take a walk. Show me around before we have to head back.
[ he's going to be okay. he is. it's just-- a whole lot to take in at one go. ]
( finn exhales too, all too happy to hop to his feet and take his hand. )
We can sleep over if you like it here and go back in the morning, too. Whatever you want! I think there are little beach shacks we can borrow. ( the sun has begun its slow descent under the deep blue, almost purple ocean, painting it in streaks of orange. the bioluminescent flora have begun to glow brighter in response to change in light. )
We can pass by the little village and make our way through back to the beach too. ( he leans in to kiss yuri's cheek. ) You look pretty here, you know. ( his mom must have known what clothes would suit yuri before even meeting him. )
[ yuri accepts the cheek kiss and smiles, leaning in against finn as they get settled on a walking path. ]
I want you to know I'm still mad at you! But I'm better. And I'll be fine, eventually, you'll just need to give me time to get there.
[ after he gives everyone else the silent treatment for at least a day. ]
Does time work... the same here? Like when it's night here, is it night back home? I mean I wanna stay either way, I'm just trying to figure out if you're secretly older or younger than what I know you to be.
[ his voice trails off a little toward the end, distracted as he is by the glowing flowers. ]
Oh if I had gone into botany instead of medicine I would be having a fit right now.
( yuri is mad but he still accepted the kiss and that is more than finn could ask for at this point. he briefly stoops to pick up a fallen blossom, glowing and blue this time, to once again tuck it behind yuri's ear. )
I think it moves a little slower... in a way. It will still be morning at home if we leave here tomorrow morning, if that makes sense. People know we've left but it won't feel like we've been gone for a super long time. Weird magic, right? ( he wrinkles his nose, giggling. ) I'm still age like a human! My dad is real!
[ yuri smiles as he reaches up to lightly touch the flower now tucked behind his ear, his head finally tilting to the side to rest on finn's shoulder as they walk. it's not the most comfortable position, maybe, but he does feel the need to be close to him right now. even while still a little angry.
honestly, this is giving him hope for the future, in a weird way. like only the most disastrous betrayal will make yuri angry enough to actually leave. ]
Do the clothes go away when we leave? Because if they do, I am definitely going to need to see if I can find something like this back home.
I think these are yours! ( well, finn hopes yuri keeps them. he looks extra pretty in island clothes. ) You could wear stuff like this more, though...
( he giggles, tentatively flirty in hopes of making yuri smile with it. they reach another clearing and finn's smile grows as he points through the trees. )
[ yuri giggles quietly, making a mental note to himself to maybe look for some more things that would look good being worn on a beach. if jasper is a siren, they'll probably be making some frequent trips to the nearest one once it's warmer, right?
he pauses when finn points forward and he follows the line, his breath catching in his throat at the vision of it all. the glowing fauna, the perfect sunset, the love of his life at his side.
it's perfect, really. ]
Oh, Finn. It's beautiful.
[ his gaze shifts sideways and he smiles at finn, squeezing his hand. ]
You have the beauty if this place in your soul, Finn. It really is part of you.
( finn blushes. his heart feels full and while he knows that yuri is still upset with him, he allows himself to have a sense of hope that things between them can eventually be repaired. ( he did, after all, out half all their mutual friends and some parents. ) )
I've never liked being cooped up for long and I guess this is part of why. I just ... feel better being outside and that's why I wanted to spend all that time with you there.
[ he understands more now, at least. and maybe there was some part of him that knew there was something special about finn, outside of him just being so sweet and unbelievably handsome. finn's a good balance for him, he thinks.
he turns toward finn at the question and smiles, his head tipping a little to the side. ]
I'd say that's a silly question, but maybe it wasn't this time.
[ yuri tips forward and closes his eyes, his head tilting back so he can let the setting sun catch his face. ]
( there are hearts in his eyes whe yuri opens himself up to him and closes his eyes for a kiss. ever fond, he cups his cheek with a big hand and leans in to press their lips together. he kisses him wholeheartedly, wanting yuri to feel his adoration and appreciation with each press of his lips.
finally, he breaks for air, bumping their noses together. )
[ it sure is wild what a simple little kiss can do to put a bandaid on the hurt. yuri melts into the kiss, leaning into finn as he gives himself over to it. his arms lift to drape around his shoulders, fingers lightly tangling in finn's hair, and he whines just a little when finn finally pulls away.
how dare you. ]
Absolutely. I want to wake up with you in paradise.
I'll show you where I usually stay! And we can have something to eat after we do more exploring.
( he gives yuri a quick kiss before taking his hand and pushes a branch away to clear the path for them both so they can walk along the beach to finn's favorite perch that he knows his mother saves for him whenever he's here.
he's still barefoot and enjoys the feeling of sand between his toes, especially on a walk so familiar to him now. finn chatters on about favorite corners of the island, the best place to watch the sunrise, where the gossips gather, the kindest tree guardians, and suddenly his little shack. )
[ everything about this is so very cute and special and wonderful, and there's a small part of yuri that sort of wishes he had people in his life he could share this with that wasn't just their little friend group.
someone he could bring finn home to meet.
yuri listens with all of his attention, filing the information away like he's in a lecture. it's making him excited to see these things, to meet these... beings? beings seems like a safe word.
a delighted noise escapes him when the shack is revealed and he lets out a light laugh as he peels away from finn to jog up to it, peering inside. ]
Oh it's so cute. And cozy! Like the ultimate fort.
( finn's gaze is utterly adoring as he stands back and watches yuri run towards their beach house for the night, enjoying the way his face lights up. it's in theory no different than the times she has asked yuri to go nature walking with him, but today is very special even if it had been purely by accident.
he follows him and, after shaking the sand off his feet, finn throws himself into the bed and rolls on his stomach so he can get another view of the ocean, even kicking his legs up behind him. )
And this is what we get to wake up to later!
( and fall asleep to!
of course, they have slept in each other's beds countless times before, but this is ( again ) different! )
[ yuri watches finn get comfy and he can't help but giggle. he seems so free here, like all of the uncertainty he carries on himself back home is just nonexistent. it's like when they go out, when they get closer to the earth. yuri has to wonder how finn has lived in a city for as long as he has without going crazy.
they're going to have to get a place out in the countryside when (if, yuri, don't get so far ahead of yourself) it comes to it. maybe yuri can convince him to look at a beach property instead. he's not sure he's built for the chicken coop life.
yuri dusts his own feet off before lowering himself to the bed, rolling over to lay against finn, also on his stomach, and join him in staring out at the water. he's quiet, for a while, before his face cracks into a grin. ]
So. You're part tree, huh. No wonder you're so sturdy.
Tree spirit-guardian-thing! I'm not actually a tree. ( finn laughs, wrinkling his nose. ) I think I have a distant cousin who is actually a cherry tree, though.
( do not ask him how his family tree works because he certainly does not know.
pleased as punch, he bumps his shoulder against yuri's before resting his head against his boyfriend's. instead of black or navy blue, the sky seems to turn emerald and purple here. it isn't his home - finn's home is with dad, with yuri, with their friends - but he does feel a little more like himself here. )
We can come here again together! Actually plan a visit instead of being kidnapped.
[ yuri can't help but giggle helplessly, because tree spirit-guardian-thing doesn't flow quite as easily, but he's really looking forward to making little references to his leafy dna. he's going to have to look up some fantastic plant-based puns for here on out. ]
I'd like that. A lot, actually.
[ he eventually rolls over onto his back, eyes shifting away from staring up at the mystical sky to his boyfriend, and yuri lifts a hand to lightly brush his finger along finn's cheek. ]
( at the brush of his finger along his cheek, finn giggles and ducks his head. a kiss? don't have to ask him twice these days.
he adjusts himself, remaining on his stomach as he lifts his arm to drape over yuri's stomach, caging him slightly as he lightly presses himself into the previous space between their bodies. yuri looks so pretty like this, illuminated by the stars and the wildlife surrounding them. his heart has never felt so full of romantic, all-encompassing love until now.
slowly, finn leans down to press their lips together. )
[ anger melts away second by second as finn settles in over top of him. this is yuri's favorite place to be--not the island, necessarily, but just here, with finn, looking up at him and his stupid handsome face. yuri smiles at him, the very stars in his eyes as finn leans down to seal their lips together.
his arms lift instantly to drape around finn's shoulders, a hand tangling in his hair as he tilts his chin up for a better angle. he doesn't go for more, even if at this point he's starting to get conditioned to want finn whenever nature is around him. it's a hell of a horny pavlovian response.
yuri tugs playfully at a few strands of finn's hair before he lowers his head back down, breaking the kiss with a smile. ]
( finn always seems to light up from within whenever he's outdoors, perhaps even more here where some of his roots are still deeply planted. he doesn't think he'll ever want to live here full time, not with most of his loved ones living on earth, but it's just so nice to have yuri here with him for once. knowing they can make this a regular outing is even better.
he kisses him softly, tame (since he had just upset yuri) but with a little more pressure and intent behind it. at the tug of his hair, he makes a soft noise against his mouth before pulling away with a grin. )
[ yuri giggles quietly and lifts his head up to chase finn's lips once more time before he lets out a soft sigh and settles in, gently tugging at finn to get him to settle back down again so that they can properly cuddle.
he's gotta learn how to not let a cute boy with a perfect smile make him so weak.
yuri goes quiet for a while once they're snuggled up, just listening to the sounds of the nature around him, when a... thought suddenly occurs. ]
Finn. The flowers. Have they been-- I mean, can they-- were they watching.
( finn obediently lays against yuri's side, arm curled under his cheek. he is more than willing to give his boyfriend whatever he wants for the foreseeable future.
he's lulled into contentment, features softening again when he closes his eyes and simply listens to the call of birds, the chirping of insects ( all of which are leaving them alone, thanks very much ). he's almost on the way to dreamland when yuri interrupts his thoughts with a question.
finn gulps. )
Um.
( he doesn't really think about it and with good reason. because then he would be even more self-conscious about being with yuri in the bedroom. )
[ yuri ducks his head and burrows in closer to finn, pressing his face against his boyfriend as if he'll be able to hide from the fact that they've been having sex outside with an audience.
and finn was at least aware of it!!!
he lightly slaps finn's arms and huffs against where he has his face buried, grumbling quietly. ]
I didn't really think about it - ( sheepish as always, finn ducks his head and curls into yuri, even if his heart flutters at the reminder that yuri does indeed love him. ) And, well, I didn't think they'd go back and say something. I mean, it's a private thing!
We're always just so caught up in the moment, Yuri.
( but now that he is thinking about it, his cheeks and neck begin to heat up. )
[ yuri can't help the quiet little giggles that take him over, his shoulders shaking as the ridiculousness of this situation hits him. flowers have been watching them have sex. the flowers.
he pulls himself back a little bit so he can peer up at finn, his lips curling upward in a wicked little grin. ]
'm not gonna let that stop us, I want you to know. I've come to like our little hikes.
