Everyone had gotten into their respective cars in pairs. Karl was in Nick's car, Darryl was with Zak and George was with Clay. Fundy and Eret had decided not to come because it was their first day and they wanted to scope out the building.

"That was interesting. Is that why you knew what to look for when I lied about being mortal?" George asked as they followed Nick's car.

"Not quite. It was more of a gut feeling at first but yeah once I felt it I knew you were lying. Also the fact your story didn't add up," Clay said smirking.

"Now it explains why you got suspended for as long as I was out. Demons have a temper and the easier they are to piss off when their friends get hurt," George muttered out loud.

"You could say that," Clay smirked.

"What do you mean?" George asked, confused.

"Nothing you should worry your pretty little face about," Clay said as George blushed lightly.

"Well now I'm gonna worry about it," George whined as he sunk in his seat. Clay laughed and grinned at the boy's antics. George started laughing as well.

"Looks like we are going to the beach," Clay said as the beach came into view.

"That's Nick for ya. Always knows where nobody is gonna get bored," George laughed as everyone parked. As soon as Clay parked, George was out of the car as he brimmed with excitement. Clay was out of the car just as quickly.

"We need bathing suits," Zak said as they all met up at Nick's car.

"Well lucky for us there is a store that sells bathing suits right there," Nick grinned.

"What are we waiting for, let's go!" George said excitedly, starting to walk to the store.Everyone followed and they all entered the store. About 15 minutes later they had all picked out a swimsuit. The swimsuits were relatively cheap, in total adding up to like sixty bucks which they all chipped in to pay.

George walked over to the edge of the dock. Everyone was either curious about what he was going to do or scared of his calculated recklessness, so they stayed back. "Hey, Clay," George called out as he stood at the edge.

"Yes, George?" Clay said walking off to the shorter male.

"Can you swim?" George asked suddenly.

"Yeah, what are you planning?" Clay asked, his eyes narrowing slightly. Instead of responding, George walked back a little bit and ran at the tall male knocking them both in the water. For being so short he was quite fast and he caught a lot of momentum as he tackled the tall blonde.They emerged from the surface of the deep water with grins on their faces. Clay splashed the small male and swam away as everyone else jumped in the water after them. George lifted himself back onto the dock and yeeted himself onto Nick's back who went crashing under the water with the sudden force.

With George still on his back he stood up and toppled backward dropping George into the water at the last second. As soon as he emerged he pushed Nick back into the water. "Take that, asshole!" George shouted as they started a splashing war. The next thing George knew, Nick had picked him up and yeeted him at Clay.

George crashed into Clay with a loud thud and both toppled under the water. George spat the water out of his mouth and Clay wheezed as he spat out the water. "Are, are you ok?" George gasped as Clay wheezed.

"I'm good, Georgie," Clay managed to wheeze out. While everyone was focused on Nick and George Zak managed to sneak out of the water and sneak attack, Darryl.

Everyone turned when they heard a yelp and splash. "Zak!" Darryl shouted before he got plunged into the water.

Nick snuck in behind Karl and grabbed his waist lifting him out of the water. He lifted him over his shoulder and flipped him into the water. Between all the splashes and spluttering everyone was laughing like crazy.

Karl emerged and jumped at Nick wrapping his legs around his torso bringing him down into the water. Nick emerged from under the water with Karl still clinging to him. Karl laughed as Nick peppered his face with kisses. Zak had managed to lick Darryl up the side of his face. No one knows why he did, he just did. George scrunched up his nose and turned and swam to Clay who had swum to the dock while the two couples started to give PDA.

"How have you been this past month?" George said as he pulled himself to sit next to Clay.

"I've been thinking about what happened and I just wish I never left you alone," Clay said as he gripped George in a side hug. For barely knowing each other George felt he's known this male his entire life.

"I don't need a bodyguard to escort me everywhere, Clay. And besides, we had no way of knowing he would've jumped me. It was just the way fate decided to play her cards," George said leaning onto his shoulder.

"It's nearly time for lunch. We should get going soon," Clay said as they looked out at the four in the water. Nick and Karl had disappeared under the water yet again and Zak was sitting on Darryl's back as he swam.

"We should but we can stay a little while longer. Let the lovebirds have their fun," George chuckled as Nick and Karl emerged. Nick's buns had broken from their bonds making his hair poof up like a fluffball. Karls blonde hair was flat against his head as he pressed a kiss to Nick's cheek.

"Oi! Lovebirds'! We are gonna have to get going soon if we are gonna be back in time for lunch," George called out as they all swam over to the dock.

"Calling us lovebirds. We are not the ones cuddling on the dock," Nick teased as he pulled himself onto the dock.

"Well, what were you and Karl doing under the water?" George asked, smirking as Zak and Darryl pulled themselves onto the dock as Nick blushed red as he helped Karl up who was also red.

"You weren't gonna do that, right?" George asked with mock disgust on his face.

"Absolutely not! He just pulled me under, is all," Karl said his face getting redder and slightly annoyed. Granted not many people knew he was Asexual yet but still. Nick seemed to notice and placed a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

"What about you and Clay? As I said, you two were just cuddling on the dock," Nick teased as George blushed just a little bit.

"I like George's company and I required a hug," Clay said as he and George stood.

"Sure," Nick said, not believing them. He knew it was true just it's not what he believed had happened. They walked down the dock and back to their stuff. They walked to the bathroom areas and got changed.

They walked back to the parking lot each having their own conversation with their car buddy meaning no one was surprised when Darryl told Zak 'language'.
