"Why don't you come in, Sodo?" Aether called loudly from the bright blue water in front of Sodo's lounger.
The fire ghoul currently resided on a lounger under a huge white parasol with yellow stripes. He pulled his dark sunglasses a few inches down his nose to throw Aether a snooty look.
"Why don't you come out to put sunscreen on my back?" He called back.
A wide grin spread on Aether's lips as he hopped out of the pool to grab the white bottle from Sodo's hands "Anything for you, my queen."

Sodo rolled his eyes, but dutifully rolled onto his stomach to give Aether access to his back.
A slight shiver ran over his whole body as the quintessence ghoul spread the cool white liquid on his skin.
Sodo sighed and closed his eyes as Aether's hand traced the lines of his muscles and his spine.
Aether softly squeezed his waist, hissing slightly "Daaamn baby, your waist is so fucking slim..."
Sodo's eyes flew open, a deep crimson blush stained his cheeks "W-what?"

Aether jumped away from the lounger as if he got burned "Nothing! I'm done with your back, come into the water."
Sodo cleared his throat but still wasn't able to get anything out but a hoarse whisper "You know I can't get up right now."
Aether grinned "So? And why is that?"
The deep blush wasn't gone from his face as Sodo looked back at the quintessence ghoul "You know exactly why..."
And judging by the mischievous sparkle in his eyes, Aether knew exactly what he did.
"Well, y'know, I need a cold shower too. That's why I'm gonna jump into the pool." He announced, before he leapt from the edge of the pool.

As soon as he resurfaced, Swiss threw the ball he and Mountain were playing with into his direction, yelling "Catch!"
It bounced off his chest but Aether didn't care, he just panted "Can't. Must cool down."
Swiss snickered loudly, sending Mountain a knowing look.

Shortly after, Sodo descended his lounger and walked over to the ladder.
The cold water around his ankles made him shiver again, but this time not with the delight he felt when Aether made him shiver.
He wrinkled his nose, but grabbed the handles anyway and lowered himself step by step into the ice cold water.
He kind of missed the last one and stumbled into the pool. His breath hitched frightfully, but before the water could close over his head, he was hauled back to his feet.
Aether stood before him, ready to catch him again if he would fall.

"I really want to kiss you right now." The quintessence ghoul whispered into his ear. "Lucifer, yes!" Sodo whispered back, really wishing they were alone right now so they could kiss and make out and hell knew what came after.
But Swiss and Mountain were watching them with eagle eyes and Sodo himself just did not feel good with the thought of them knowing.
They both agreed on keeping their relationship to themselves for now, except it started to feel like a dirty little secret and they both definitely didn't want that.

Suddenly Aether bent down to the smaller fire ghoul and like a reflex Sodo met him halfway, making their lips crush together.
Aether hummed happily but Sodo's head reared back.
"We wanted to keep this a secret, remember?" Sodo asked, his voice tense.
"Well then better call Victoria, 'cause the Secret is definitely out." He whispered back, frowning.
Sodo only coughed but a bright smile already tugged on his lips.
There was a loud "Hah!" sound coming from Swiss behind them.
Aether turned around and rubbed his head in embarrassment, laughing slightly "Uuuuh yea, so we're kind of... together?"

Swiss only raised an eyebrow then nudged Mountain with his shoulder, holding out his hand in front of him. The earth ghould sighed and pulled out his wallet, handing the multi ghoul a ten-dollar bill.
"Wait... you bet on us?" Sodo asked bewildered.
Swiss showed off his sharp fangs "Sure did. Mounty bet you would need three more months to come out to us."
Sodo was stunned but Aether cackled "I told you: you don't need to worry." "Yea, yea..." Sodo waved his hand with a displeasured look on his face.
Swiss shot him a cocky wink "Thanks for the ten dollars Sodo." Then he turned on his heel and pulled Mountain with him.

"We're really bad at hiding, aren't we?" Sodo sighed but smiled at Aether afterwards.
The quintessence ghoul lovingly caressed his hair, kissing his forehead "We are, but we don't need that anymore."
Sodo closed his eyes and leaned against his partner "I'm so glad. I love you."
"Love you too, baby."
