LOG POST: Shinpachi and Yamamoto
Shinpachi and Yamamoto go swimming in the ocean! At night! Then they talk about serious stuff and be awkwardly cute together! This is rated NC-17! And I keep using exclamation points after every sentence!
Shinpachi: *ties the drawstring on his board shorts and sighs* *flicks the light off in his room then weaves his way off the ship and heads for the beach to meet Yamamoto*
Yamamoto: *is already on the beach* *is taking off his shirt and hahahaha it might be a bit cold but he'll endure it*
Shinpachi: *isn't wearing a shirt* *forgot a towel, though* *sees Yamamoto and he stops for a second, trying to gather up a little courage before continuing onwards*
Yamamoto: *doesn't have a towel, lol, but has his pants on!* *notices Shinpachi* Hey, Shinpachi! You came! *wave*
Shinpachi: *approaches* Hi! Yeah, I did. *laughs a little*
Yamamoto: *smile* Ready to get in? It's kinda cold, but I promise you'll warm up once you start swimming.
Shinpachi: *nods* Yeah, I am. *not a big fan of cold water* *also, he's trying not to stare at Yamamoto*
Yamamoto: *is not noticing this the oblivious bastard* Awesome then! *takes of his pants, so the only thing left on him are his boxers* *pats him on the back* Let's go!
Shinpachi: *takes a step backwards when he sees Yamamoto strip off his pants* *blinks and tries to look away because ohmygod* Haha, yeaaah. *tries to breath and then heads for the water*
Yamamoto: *walks until he gets closer to the sea, and then runs until the water is up to his waist* *trying to kill the cold by starting to swim, warming up* *motions to Shinpachi to join in, too*
Shinpachi: *dips a toe in the water and shivers* *then the wind blows and he shivers some more* *looks at Yamamoto, hesitant to get in* *sighs and then wades in, making little eep noises as he moves farther in*
Yamamoto: *chuckles a bit* It'll be warmer if you start swimming!! *as if to demostrate, swims around a bit, making sure not to freeze to death*
Shinpachi: *watches him with an O.O face* *is FREEZING right now* ... Uh, s-sure. *moves another foot forward, the water up to his chest now* *decides to brave it and dunks his head under the freezing water* @_@
Yamamoto: *scratches his head* *isn't sure if Shinpachi is doing it right or wrong* *swims over, getting close to him* Hahaha, swim around, Shinpachi! If you just get wet it'll be worse.
Shinpachi: *gasps and resurfaces, shivering like mad* I-I am!
Yamamoto: Hahaha, you need to do more than that. *smile* *dives in and starts to swim again, hoping he'll be followed(
Shinpachi: *watches him* *sighs and dives in hesitantly after him* *starts to swim*
Yamamoto: *swims somewhat fast because he's tall and athletic* *goes a distance then comes back, keeping up with shinpachi a bit*
Shinpachi: *isn't very athletic, but he tries hard to keep up* *panting a little now*
Yamamoto: *notices he's kinda leaving him behind so comes back* *notices him slightly out breath* Hahaha, sorry, did I go to fast? I do that sometimes. *guilty*
Shinpachi: It's... It's alright. *treading water like his life depends on it* *looks at him*
Yamamoto: I'll slow down, no problem. *smiles* let me know if it's too much for you, though!
Shinpachi: *smiles back a little* Thanks. *wonders how far they're going to swim out*
Yamamoto: *slows down and swims lazily, keeping up with him* Do you feel warmer now?
Shinpachi: *stops for a bit* Yeah, I do now.
Yamamoto: *stops too, then* See, it took almost no time! *swims in place for a bit, then just sinks his head backwards to fix his hair*
Shinpachi: *kinda wants to head back to shore and play with the waves or something* It's much better now.
Yamamoto: *of all the things to notice, this is the one he does (what)* *they swam for a while anyway* Do you wanna go back, now?
Shinpachi: *blinks* Huh? Yeah, I would. We can play in the waves or something.
Yamamoto: Sounds good! *starts swimming back until the water gets too low and then starts walking out to the shore* *is back to feeling cold* *clothes might be sticking to him*
Shinpachi: *follows him back, eager to touch land again* *wouldn't mind laying out on the sand either* *shivers once he's able to walk out of the water* *looks over at Yamamoto* ...
Yamamoto: *rubs himself a bit, trying to warm himself up* Ahhh, it's cold!! *runs in place a bit, too*
Shinpachi: *would warm him up--sdhfkjds no* Y-Yeah, it is! *laughs a little and rubs his arms*
Yamamoto: *perhaps if you got him drunk, lol* *walks over and gets his shirt on, since at least that'll keep him a bit warmer* Hahaha, I should have brought a towel.
Shinpachi: *yeah, except there's no alcohol, lol* *sits down on a big rock and shivers* Me too. *rubs his arms some more*
Shinpachi: *trying not to stare at Yamamoto*
Yamamoto: *kinda fears they'll slip back to awkward again, so he keeps talking* Hahaha, we should have known better, right? The night IS pretty cold. And water just makes it worse! *sits down next to Shinpachi* Don't you think?
Shinpachi: *curls up a little* *doesn't want to slip back into the awkward again because that really sucked* *isn't wearing his glasses right now* *squints at Yamamoto* ... Yeah. It was your idea, though.
Yamamoto: *rubs neck, sheepishly* Hahaha, I usually swim for a while, and it's usually day time, too. *rubs his legs a bit, trying to warm those up, too*
Shinpachi: Yeah, that's usually the time when most people swim. *curls up some more so cold omg*
Yamamoto: Hahaha, I guess we're pretty weird, then! *stands up again and moves a bit, because seriously, so cold*
Shinpachi: Weird? *thinks about this* I guess so. *laughs a little, smiling just a bit* We should... probably get warm somewhere.
Yamamoto: *chuckles a bit* Hahahaha, it might be a good idea. Let me just go grab my pants, first! *even though his still pretty wet*
Shinpachi: *nods* Alright. *gropes around for his glasses and then puts them on* *even though he's cold, he still feels a hot blush overcome his cheeks* *kinda watches Yamamoto look for his pants*
Yamamoto: *luckily his pants weren't too far away* *puts them on, but they stick a bit to him, because he's still pretty wet* Ah, I should have really brought a towel... *walks back towards Shinpachi, trying to fix his zipper and button*
Shinpachi: *his eyes practically zero in on the zipper and the button and oh god...* *clears his throat* Ahahahaha, yeah, m-me too.
Yamamoto: *might be noticing the staring a bit* *finishes it up, starting to feel a bit awkward again* Hahaha, do you want to go, then?
Shinpachi: *shakes his head a little and then looks away* Yeah, I do... *stands up and adjusts himself, trying to hide his blush*
Yamamoto: Alright! I'll walk you to your ship, then. *shakes his pants a bit, trying to get that uncomfortable wet feeling out and failing miserably*
Shinpachi: *hears Yamamoto say that and the thought of him out on a date with some girl... only he's the girl in the scenario* ... Okay. *nods and starts walking back towards his ship* *trying to walk TOO CLOSE to Yamamoto*
Yamamoto: *is walking with his hands on his pockets* *having a hard time keeping his balance because Shinpachi is TOO CLOSE, but he's not one to mention it* Hahaha, too bad it's too cold, or we could ahve swam a bit more!
Shinpachi: *shivers a little* *knows he's TOO CLOSE but it's cold and Yamamoto is probably warm and oh god he can't help himself, he just went swimming in a freezing ocean and Yamamoto is wearing TIGHT, SKIMPY, GREY BOXERS* *opens his mouth to say something but then a gigantic gust of wind comes and he takes a step backwards only to stub his foot on something and then he goes crashing into Yamamoto O*
Yamamoto: *is warming up a bit lol* *can't possibly keep his balance when someone crash against him, and goes down, back againt the sand* *luckily knows how to crash* Oww...
Shinpachi: *totally lands on top of him* *sdhfkjsd* *hit his head against Yamamoto's chest* ... Oww... *sees stars*
Yamamoto: *rubs his head a bit, when he notices the weight on top of him* *...doesn't know what to do, so he just stays there*
Shinpachi: *it takes him a moment to figure out where he landed and he's just... sdhkjfhsk* *oh god oh god why* *feels everything just COME BACK and it's so awkward and shdfkjs why* *blushing like mad now* *doesn't know to say--his mind says to get off him and RUN, but he's not sure he can move*
Yamamoto: *is pretty unsure too* *doesn't wanna push him away TOO much because that'd look pretty assholish, in his opinion, and he feels guilty enough from rejecting his feelings* *wonders why he's always ending up in this kind of situation, too*
Yamamoto: *so he just breathes awkwardly and looks away*
Shinpachi: *breathes too and kinda squirms to get off of him* *can sorta feel Yamamoto's guilt wafting off him* *wishes it wasn't this awkward... just ever* *eventually het pushes himself off of Yamamoto and turns away, totally embarrassed*
Yamamoto: *moves away from him when he feels him standing up* *really wishes he hadn't made things awkward between them by rejecting him so blatantly* Ah, Shinpachi...*rubs his neck, not much more comming to his mind on what he could say*
Shinpachi: *well, how can he blame him for that? neither of them have been in a situation like that before* *doesn't want to blame Yamamoto because he likes him a lot, but this it's hard and it sucks* *brushes the sand off himself* ... No, it's my fault, Yamamoto. *says this quietly* Sorry.
Yamamoto: *nonetheless* *thinks he can understand his feelings, a bit, but argh* No, no, I tripped, too! *stands up, shaking the sand from his pants* *fails because they were wet from the start* *offers his hand to Shinpachi, to help him get up* Don't worry about it.
Shinpachi: *hesitates before taking Yamamoto's hand* *looks at him* ... I'll try not to. *murmurs* Thanks.
Yamamoto: *pulls him up* No problem. *turns around to start walking but then stops, uncertain* Do you want to talk about this? *isn't sure he himself WANTS TO, but the awkward is killing him.
Shinpachi: *is about to start walking to when he stops, too* *feels really, really uncertain now* *didn't want to talk about this again because the last time was enough and yeah, it was over LJ, but it's starting to hurt* ... I don't know. Do... you think we should? *staring at the ground*
Yamamoto: *hahahahaha wants to say no but would really like to go back to speak with him normally* Sure. It's bothering...right? *turns around, and smiles somewhat unsurely but calm*
Shinpachi: *takes a deep breath and looks up at him* ... It. Yeah, it is. *because if they don't talk about it now then how will things be okay?* Maybe we should... sit down or something. *glances at him*
Yamamoto: Sure. *looks around and finds some conviently placed rocks and heads over to those to sit down*
Shinpachi: *follows him and then sits down beside him, not too close, but not too far away* *takes a deep breath and tries to gather his thoughts* *doesn't really know what to say first, though*
Yamamoto: *looks up to the sky, then to the sand, then rubs his arm, uncomfortable* *wishes he could not say anything but this was his idea so* So. You like me, huh? *...no, does not realize that this is a stupid way to start*
Shinpachi: *staring at the sand, his mind practically swirling with thoughts* *almost looks over at Yamamoto when he speaks, feeling his already crumbling heart CRUMBLE SOME MORE* *way to remind him, Yamamoto* ... I-I. Yeah. I do.
Yamamoto: Ahaha...*awkward laughter, he knows it, but uhg* I'm sorry that I can't return your feelings. *saw this in a drama and thought it was fitting* *wants to add something about "if the timing had been different", but decides against it*
Shinpachi: *feels his throat tighten when Yamamoto laughs, and he nods a little* *takes another deep breath and tries to think of something else to say back to him* *thinks this whole thing is starting to look like a drama now*
Yamamoto: *bites his lip, unsure of how to continue* I...I like being your friend, though! You're a really neat guy, Shinpachi. I have a lot of fun around you. *rubs his head, a bit ashamed*
Shinpachi: *sighs and looks up at the night sky, frowning* *wants to know why Yamamoto can't return his feelings* I... I like being your friend too. Yamamoto. *takes another deep breath* It's just that... I don't know if my feelings will change... even if you can't return them... *bites his lip* ... I still want to your friend... *finally looks at him* You're a really good guy, someone I can talk to easily and get along with... and all that.
Yamamoto: *looks back at him, too, a surprised look on his face* I...Will you be alright with that, though? Us being just friends, I mean. *realizes that he's projecting and shakes his head* If you are fine, then I'm alright, too.
Shinpachi: *sighs* ... I don't know. I want to think so. I... I shouldn't have told you in the first place anyway. *pauses* Er, well. Did that, I guess. *sheepish*
Yamamoto: *smiles* Yeah, that surprised me a bit! *sighs* I think I don't mind that you told me. I told you, right? Keeping things inside is bad for you, in the end. I mean...*thoughtful look* I think we can go back to normal, right?
Shinpachi: *thought that their one kiss was probably the best kiss he's ever and probably will ever have* *smiles just a little at the thought* Yeah, you did, and... maybe it was better that way anyway. *pauses* ... I think we can go back to normal. *wants to try!*
Yamamoto: *hahaha oh shinpachi ♥* Hahaha, I'm glad! *pats him in the back in a friendly manner and smiles* We should probably head back now. it's really getting cold!
Shinpachi: *smiles back a little, warmed by the touch* *feels... a bit better about things* *nods* It is cold. *crawls off the rock and brushes himself off* *he's pretty much all dry now too*
Yamamoto: *is dry except for the uncomfortable feeling of his humid pants* *gets up, too* I'll walk with you to your ship, then!
Shinpachi: *nods* Okay! *waits for Yamamoto then starts walking back to the ship*

Yamamoto: *is dry except for the uncomfortable feeling of his humid pants* *gets up, too* I'll walk with you to your ship, then!
