Between the Two of Us

By the time we arrived, it was beginning to be in the early afternoon.

I looked over the seat and noticed Yori sleeping. I turned to the back and Yukine was relaxing on the towels we'd brought.

I gaze back to Yori who is yawning and stretching.

"Ready to go guys?" I ask.

She smiles sweetly as she nods, and begins to file through her large pink bag. She sifts through the assortment of items before coming across sun block. She applies some to her skin, and then asks if we want any.

I smile back and decline her request.

Shrugging, she sets the bottle back into her bag and creaks the car door open.

I get out as well, and with a knock on the back window, Yukine is sitting straight up glaring at me. I grin and make my way to the trunk.

I shuffle some stuff around grab some other things as well as the towels Yukine so generously threw at me.

I close the trunk and reluctantly unlock the back for him to get out.

We make our way to the entrance, and I can already tell this place is packed with the way the weather's been treating us.

My sandals drag across the boiling hot parking lot as we go to the counter for the entrance fee.

Yori steps up and pulls her wallet out of her 'mom' bag, and handles the things we can't.

I reach down to hold Yori's hand and she intertwines our fingers together. The two of us follow Yukine as he shouts and yells about the slides and the wave pool and more things I tuned out of listening to.

Yori's just smiling and watching him prance around like a little kid. Today is a peaceful day. Nothing too out of the ordinary happening, and especially no creatures from the far shore attacking the near shore.

I can breathe freely for once without having to worry or put my family in danger. Today is just about us.

Yori and I come across a pool with various slides with different lengths and heights and watch as Yukine scatters to go down each one.

Yori chuckles and bends down onto the side of the pool as she slips her legs into the water.

She kicks her legs back and sighs as she submerges her lower half.

Part of me wants to go mess around with Yukine, while the other part wants to keep Yori company.

I decide on the second option. At least for a little bit.

I pull off my tank-top, and  crouch down next to her to hop in the water.

"What are you doing? I thought you were going to go with Yukine," she asks.

I look at her for a moment before plunging my whole body down into the cooling water below. She starts laughing as I lurk around the pool, and that's what makes me happy.

"You dork!" she squeaks between laughs. "You look like a shark,"

Instinctively, the first thought that comes to mind as a response is a dumb one.

"Am I a hot shark?"

Then Yori loses it.

She's peddling around the water as her hand grips the ledge of the pool. She snorting between her laughs as she cackles.

A single tear makes its way to her eye and she wipes away as she calms down.

"You're something, Yato," she smirks.
