After their second breakfast, Lan WangJi took his sons to buy water shoes for the four of them.

Wei WuXian went shopping, too. But for slightly more adult items: a six pack of soju (for liquid courage), condoms, lube, and a couple of enema kits. They found a public beach that wasn't crowded. In between playing in the water and napping on the sand, he thought about sex. Specifically, he thought about bottoming for Lan Zhan, to be the penetratee for the first time since he'd started having sex. He'd read that some men loved it, that some men preferred it, and some hated it. And some men disliked all the prep work that went into bottoming. His eyes glided across the beach, focusing for a moment on a bird pecking at something buried in the wet sand, in another moment watching the waves crashing on the teens, easily sliding over other families and friend groups frolicking in the water or lazing on beach towels or at a picnic table, and finally resting on the man lying at his side.

Lan Zhan's slightly golden skin was all shiny from sunscreen and dotted with sand. His hair was tousled from being toweled and then blown dry in the breeze and sported more than a few sand particles among the black strands. He was gorgeous, of course, smooth muscles encasing a strong back, tapering down to a narrow waist that disappeared into a knee length, tightly fitting, swimsuit that did absolutely nothing to disguise or hide his gluteal muscles.

"You're staring," Lan WangJi commented, one amber eye peeking up.

"You're beautiful," Wei WuXian responded. "And you're mine. So I'm going to take advantage and look to my heart's content."

"Shall I roll over?" Lan WangJi teased, eye crease crinkling with mirth. "Let you see the whole picture?"

"I might spontaneously combust if you do," Wei WuXian muttered.

"That would be a problem..." Lan WangJi mused thoughtfully. "We'll have to work on that. Maybe slowly acclimatize you to my body? I would really hate to be making love with you, and having you suddenly burst into flames...."

Wei WuXian grinned at his prone lover, and then forced himself to look over the ocean, to watch for whales, maybe, or boats. "That sounds like it would be painful for the both of us," he deadpanned back. "I thought anal sex was only supposed to be painful for the bottom...."

"If you feel pain, then I'm not doing it right," Lan WangJi replied earnestly, and sat up. "You should feel sore, at most. Stretched, like... when you're exercising a muscle group you haven't used in a while."

"I know. If sex hurts, it should be deliberate and consensual," Wei WuXian told the ocean. He tucked his knees into his chest and rested his chin on them. "I want to try it with you."

"Do you want to top me? Or me to top you?"

"Both?"

"Not in the same night.... I haven't done this in years, so I'm going to need almost as much time as you."
