24 Hours GF Challenge (Granevere AU)

Chapter Twenty-Four

Guinevere's emerald eyes sparkled as she viewed the picturesque scene of the beach. She inhaled deeply, breathing in the salty breeze of the ocean. Her feet were buried in the warm sand as the beautiful summer sun kissed her skin.

"Linguine!"

"Huh?" She frantically scanned the area at whoever called her that god-forsaken nickname. Unfortunately, she knows where that deep baritone voice belongs to. "Grr–"

"Why so mad, Linguine?" Granger sashayed annoyingly, garnering a record-breaking eye roll from the young girl.

"Stop prancing in like that!" Guinevere huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. "Who wouldn't be in a bad mood when they see you."

"Ouch." Granger looked hurt and invited himself to sit beside the young girl. "Isn't the day so pretty?"

Guinevere released her fake frown and chuckled haughtily at him. Dabbling in small talk was so not like her. "Ew, small talk."

"What? Am I supposed to talk about philosophy to you, princess?"

"Can you?" Guinevere giggled as she played with the sand between her toes. For some unknown reason, the warm, fuzzy feeling she felt back at their first date returned.

"No. So how's Lancelot?" Granger asked and Guinevere flicked his forehead.

"Are you seriously going to ask about my brother?" Guinevere crinkled her cute nose and the boy couldn't help the smile playing on his lips. "They're happy. Look at them."

Lancelot and Odette joined along in the beach volleyball game against Hanabi and Hanzo. The japanese pair were pretty good, with Hanzo digging and providing the perfect set for Hanabi to produce the most lethal spike.

Odette received the ball with much difficulty to the point that she was doused in sand, trying to save the ball from touching the ground. Lancelot rushed to receive the ball and sent the it flying to the opposing court.

Hanabi received the spinning ball with an audible grunt. Hanzo propelled himself off the soft sand, his movements heavy due to the unstable surface. Her partner leapt and did a powerful spike, the slapping sound reverberating.

"Woah!" Guinevere exclaimed.

"Oh snap!" Granger's face clearly showed how impressed he was.

Loud yelps of surprise were heard at the sidelines of the court where employees watched in anticipation. Guinevere stood up and rushed as near as possible to Odette's court and began fist pumping to cheer her sister-in-law on.

"Go Odette! Go get them!"

Lancelot turned towards his only sister with a giant pout on his lips. "What about me?"

"Eh, you can manage." Lancelot's dear sister waved her hand nonchalantly at him. This only made Lancelot more inclined to annoy the hell out of his sister; but since he was in a heated game, he abstained to do so.

Hanabi was the one to serve the ball. The ball made a satisfying curve in the air as Odette expertly received it. "Easy peasy."

Lancelot tossed the ball up in the air back to Odette. She locked her eyes on the ball as it seemed to move in slow motion. Once it reached low enough, the mustered all her strength and leapt into the air to perform a jump spike.

"That was some anime level shit." Granger commented and Guinevere could only nod. "Haikyu got nothing against Odette and Hanabi."

Hanzo ran along the direction of the ball and received it. The sound of the ball hitting his skin sounded painful, yet he seemed to pay no mind. Hanabi took the ball and tossed it beautifully, providing the perfect angle for Hanzo to strike down.
