Days In The Sun (BL)

EZRA 3:49 AM

"So, back to Mermaids, Megalodons, and Atlantis?" he asks. With a smirk and bright face.

"Nerd." I manage to say, trying my best to keep him talking. He looks at me with a "so you want a battle?" look.

"In my defence, I just wanted a conversation starter. And the ocean is a fascinating thing to talk about." he says, he scrapes his hand on the ledge, touching it with the tip of his fingers. Suddenly I feel him touching my skin with the tips of his fingers. I erase the thought.

"What about the ocean? The way it's polluted and destroyed because of us?"

"Point taken, but come on, let's act as if we're mythology writers on this conversation." he turns his face to me with a toothed smile. "I'm not a total nerd, but I'm trying for you." A total, meaningless sentence makes my insides flutter, and flapping, like a bird's wings.

I smile at him and stay silent, he turns his back to me again, and continue touching the wooden framework of this large 3-story shed. The silence stays longer than it should have, the waves fight each other below and their roars sorround the whole beach.

"Mermaids are myth, I'm logically sure of that, as for megalodons."I pause to see if I caught his attention only to meet his piercing eyes looking straight at me. "The Pacific is way too vast to prove that the creature is really extinct."

His eyes make me uncomfortable. Is he enjoying my sight as I am enjoying him? His lips curve into a smile and he climbs up and sits on the ledge. I fight the nerve to say "Be careful!"  because that would only show my eagerness of him.

"Be careful." Who am I kidding I can't stop myself from worrying, what's wrong with caring for an acquaintance? Feels illegal but it isn't.

"Woah chill." He says. "Well, how about Atlantis?" Is he trying to hide he's appreciation for my concern? Because he's smiling and looking away.

"Well I believe- or atleast I want to believe that Atlantis is real, because it's so possible for a whole island or city to sink, but I'd like to think they we're normal civilized people not a bunch of mermaids and sea creatures." I say.

"That is well, contradictingly said." He says still with a smile. Get me a meat grinder and I'll grind this guy's face so he stops smiling at me. "But they say Atlanteans we're normal people and when their city sunk they adapted and evolved into the sea creatures."

I was walking towards him when he said this and I stopped to roll my eyes at the "I'm not really a nerd but I'm trying for you" and how it contrasts what he just said.

"You really have to stop watching DC movies, I know that, It's from Aquaman." I say.

He bursts into laughter and I do too. I feel light laughing.

"Why are you a Marvel fan?" He asks almost too jokingly that I keep on laughing.

"So now we're having this conversation?" He nods his head, his hair flowing in the break-of-dawn air. Too flowy that I think he's not real, like a CGI Work or a digital art.

"I think Marvel is overrated, It brings nothing new with their movies but they're too good with playing with emotions and that makes them superior to DC, but all in all the people who say MCU movies deserve Oscars are nuts. They don't."

He smiles and nods. I flinch when a flash of light blinds my eyes and I almost think it's the sun- turned out to be Kurt's camera. He snapped a photo of me. He smiles at his phone and I feel queasy, I pretend to be annoyed and tell him to delete it.

"Delete that"

He looks at me and pouts.

"I won't, photo's too good." He says and I move closer to him to grab the phone but he raises his hands and he's taller than me so I jump to steal it.
