Mkulia Oneshot - On The Beach

* Background info: this takes place during season 2, behind the scenes/not on camera (and is canon because I say so 😈)

* this is my first time writing anything like this so I hope I did a good job and you guys like it!

The contestants had just finished another grueling challenge and were heading back to their cabins. As everyone is walking, MK calls out to Julia.

"Julia! You did great out there!"

Julia's head whips around to look at MK. As Julia looks at her, she has a huge grin on her face and her cheeks are red. She notices Damien staring, confused, and immediately tries to get rid of the smile on her face but can't do so. She slaps her cheeks a couple times to get herself to snap out of it, and looks at MK with her usual slightly-pissed-off expression.

For the past few weeks as Julia had been getting closer to MK, she had noticed that when she talked to MK or was even near her, her stomach would be tied up in knots. It was like the feeling you have in your stomach when tomorrow is Christmas Day and you cannot fall asleep because you're too excited for the next day. Julia was excited for something, she knew she wanted something, but she didn't know exactly what. Julia had always just assumed she was straight, never putting much thought into who she was into. For the past few weeks she had been questioning everything about herself.

"What do you want, buttknuckle?" Julia said. Usually she used the word "buttknuckle" as an insult, but she liked to use it in an affectionate way with MK.

"Oh... Uh..." MK said, scratching the back of her head as her face turned red as she gets more embarrassed. "I just wanted to let you know that you rocked that challenge today!"

"Whatever." Julia said. She tried very hard to look like how she normally looks, but she couldn't help smiling a little bit.

Julia paused for a bit. "You didn't do too bad yourself." As Julia said this, MK's face immediately turned even more red and she put her hands onto her cheeks to cover it.

"Hey uh.." MK said. "Would you maybe want to go walk for a bit before it gets too dark out and we have to go back to the cabins?"

Julia looked surprised. She did not expect MK to ask her this. "Yeah, I'll go with you." Julia said this in kind of a confused but happy tone.

She tried very hard to hide how happy she was, but she couldn't stop herself from smiling and having her cheeks turn pink.

MK smiled back at her and grabbed her hand, which made Julia turn as red as a tomato.

For a while they walked, hand in hand.
Neither of them said a word, both were just enjoying the peace and comfort they felt while holding hands and having the gentle breeze touch their skin.

Eventually they reached the beach on the side of the island. Both, tired from walking, plopped onto the ground. Coincidentally, MK's head landed on Julia's legs and MK quickly sat up, embarrassed. Julia gave her a slight smile. MK laid herself down next to Julia. Both laid down on the sand for a few minutes, watching the waves of the water and the sunset.

"Hey uh... Julia? Can I tell you something?"
Julia looked at MK with an expression that was confused but also signaled to MK that she could talk.

"At first I wasn't excited at all to do another season of this show, I was praying for my contract to burn so I wouldn't have to go back to those mold-covered bug-infested cabins." MK paused for a few seconds.
"But, once we began to talk to each other more and be near each other more, I couldn't help but feel happy waking up everyday knowing that I'd get to see you."

Julia stared at MK in awe as her eyes were glistening because of the setting sun hitting them. She felt 100 different emotions at once, her stomach felt like it was being shoved through a toilet and into a basketball hoop.

Julia couldn't contain herself anymore and grabbed MK's face, pulled it towards her, and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips.

When MK gently pulled away after a few seconds, Julia could see the shocked expression on her face. Both girls stared at each other for a couple seconds.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry MK I shouldn't have-" Before Julia could finish her sentence, MK pulled Julia's face towards her and they began to kiss each other more. "Is this what heaven feels like?" Julia thought to herself.

After maybe 10 or so minutes of this continuing, the girls pulled away from each other. It was almost completely dark out, with the only source of light being a few traces of the sun. "We should head back now before it gets even darker" Julia said. MK snorted and said "what, you scared of the dark? Afraid of the boogie-monster?"
"Stop it!" Julia said as she playfully punched MK in the shoulder. Both girls laughed a bit and then grabbed each other's hands and began to walk back.

After walking back to the camp, with their only source of light being the dim flashlight from one of Julia's many phones, they finally reached their cabin and began changing into their pajamas. "Hey uh, I had a really nice time tonight." MK said to Julia. "I did too. Let's do it again sometime." Julia winked at MK and they both smiled.

Bowie walked in right as they were finished smiling at each other and were about to hop into bed. He had a smug look on his face. MK didn't notice she now had bright red lipgloss all over her mouth area in the shape of lips, and Julia didn't notice her lipgloss was now smeared. MK and Julia froze and stared at Bowie. "Wow MK, I didn't know you wore lipgloss! You need to share with me which lipgloss you buy." MK looked at him with an embarrassed look on her face and scratched the back of her head. Bowie chuckled and said "I'm just playing! Your secret is safe with me. Let's get to bed now." He turned off the light.

Julia and MK quickly ran over to the confessional to grab some toilet paper to wipe their faces off. After cleaning themselves, they headed back into the cabin, gave each other one last kiss and hopped into bed.

* I hope I did a good job writing this! I likely won't add anything more to this and keep it as a oneshot but who knows :3
