Summary: Caine is bipolar.
The relaxing atmosphere was so calming I started dozing off as I laid in the soft sand.
I could just feel myself drifting when I felt a being lay next to me.
"Finally taking a break from torturing innocent souls, Cottontail?" Sugar's soft voice rang out.
I opened my eyes with a light chuckle. "Yeah...but don't get comfy, sweetheart," I lightly jabbed her side with my elbow, enticing a short giggle from her.
She sighed before breaking eye contact with me and gazing out into the horizon, flickering back and forth between the other circus inhabitants splashing around in the water. She held a soft, content expression- not a smile nor a frown, but almost a longing.
I nudged her with my shoulder. "You ain't gotta stay here with me, y'know."
She continued her outward gaze as she shrugged. "I know. But, sometimes- for me, anyways...it's comfortable observing rather than being a part of...you know?"
It was my turn to shrug. "Yeah well, I guess that is just you."
She laughed through her nose before her smile left her face again. She scooted herself towards me, laying her head on my shoulder comfortably.
My arm subconsciously wrapped itself around her, pulling her closer as if from muscle memory. In fact, that's how most things felt with Sugar.
Muscle memory.
It was a few minutes in silence and gazing before Ragatha pulled us out of our thoughts with her annoyingly screechy voice.
"Guys! Come on out and splash around!"
Sugar stood up before extending down toward me, to which I raised a brow.
"What happened to 'observing is better than being a part of'?" I jokingly questioned.
She smiled down at me the prettiest smile I've ever seen and said, "We were invited to be a part of because we weren't interfering. We were observing."
Invited. That's a word I haven't heard in a while.
I took her hand and stood up wordlessly, following her down the shore.
Before we even reached the water, Caine popped up midair in front of our whole group.
"This is soooooo BORING! Adventure time!"
"Oh no-"
"Caine, WHY!?"
"F&%k."
And with the snap of a dentures fingers, we were on a pirate ship dressed as slutty little scallywags with a treasure map in Ragatha's hands.
