⠀ ( YES GODDDDD. he feels like he’s vibrating with excitement, but in reality it’s probably all the drinks. striding alongside him, head leaned on his shoulder. ) ⠀

⠀ mmyeah. i want to go back. and cuddle. ⠀ ( fluttery lashes. there’s even glitter on those. ) ⠀

⠀ ( he’s had quite a few already, & he’s only tipsy whereas others would be plastered. no one is paying that close of attention, but what if someone catches on? shakes his head, loose glitter particles sent spiraling. ) ⠀ think i’m set.. ⠀

⠀ not on purrrrrrrrpose, baby. not on purpose. ⠀ ( rubs on his chest, giving a complementary squeeze where it counts. ) ⠀

⠀ someone had a thing. a uhh.. ⠀ ( he’s trying to make sense of it from a tipsy perspective. hands making small explosion displays. like a party popper.. & he was in the crossfires. ) ⠀ and that’s how it happened. ⠀

⠀ ( snuggles into, pressing numerous kisses to his neck. he’s covered in glitter. if swindle ruffled his hair it’d swirl to the floor. where’d it even come from. ) ⠀

⠀ ( IS HE READY TO GO?? hot shot can be persuaded.. ) ⠀

⠀ ( hitting the clubs, caught up on the dance floor! guess who’s idea this one was. ) ⠀

⠀ ( so they think he was brought online yesterday. ) ⠀

⠀ take it easy, guys. ⠀ ( he’s right about THAT. twirling his stick. ) ⠀ get home safe. ⠀

⠀ ( travels closer… don’t let mister detective hang around for too long. he’s all knowing. ) ⠀ you guys stay so busy. ⠀

⠀ WHAT? ⠀ ( you made him miss his shot! butt of his stick propped on the floor. ) ⠀ the nights still young! ⠀

⠀ ( eye level with his pool stick, closing one. ) ⠀ fine. ⠀

⠀ ( he’ll show you. ) ⠀

⠀ pool? ⠀ ( polishes off the remainder of his drink, pushing the emptied glass aside. ) ⠀ depends. you up for getting your tail handed to you? ⠀

⠀ ( IT BURNSSSSS. eye twitched. ) ⠀

⠀ ( what’s swindle got. let him try. ) ⠀

⠀ we’ll work our way up from there if you’re willing. if not, that’s cool too. ⠀ ( pats his shoulder! get that shot! ) ⠀

⠀ it’s only one swallow! real quick. ⠀

⠀ are you overwhelmed? maybe you should’ve started small. like with a shot. ⠀ ( kitt hasn’t even touched his drink! the ice is gonna melt. ) ⠀

⠀ what are you thinking about? ⠀

⠀ ( did it work..? ) ⠀

⠀ ( EARTH TO KITT. ) ⠀

⠀ ( KISS, KISSSSS! ) ⠀

⠀ ( all cozied up against him! kiss kiss! ) ⠀

⠀ ( massaging swindle’s chest, kissing his cheek. he did so good! ) ⠀

⠀ ( ugh. it’s so damn beautiful. ) ⠀

⠀ ( now he’s interested with the conversation at hand.. ) ⠀

⠀ ( PLAY BALL! attention averted! critiquing. ) ⠀

⠀ ( discreet pec pinch. knock it off. ) ⠀ sunburns hurt, kitt. promise we’re only looking out for you! ⠀

⠀ that’s right— taking off your shirt comes with big responsibilities. ⠀ ( digs around in their little beach bag, producing some sunscreen! ) ⠀ rub that everywhere you see skin. ⠀ ( offers it out! ) ⠀

⠀ ( checking swindle for any signs of burns.. ) ⠀

⠀ …are you cold? ⠀

⠀ good game. another match sometime! ⠀ ( says the winner. trotting over & plopping down in swindle’s lap. he’s all cold & wet from playing around in the water earlier. ) ⠀ finally get too hot, kitt? ⠀

⠀ ( DON’T CHANGE THE SUBJECT. sends the ball right back over the net. ) ⠀

⠀ ( look alive because he’s about to get his ass. is he wearing sunscreen right now? it’s HOT. ) ⠀

⠀ ( smacking a volleyball around! fresh SERVE! ) ⠀

⠀ nope! i’ve got it handled. keep up! ⠀

⠀ ( not if he doesn’t want to! but he will be wearing sunscreen later. COME! he’s got the cooler! ) ⠀

⠀ i can’t get enough. ⠀ ( grabs him by the collar & pulls him into the dressing room with him. come here for a minute! he needs your expert opinion. ) ⠀

⠀ only one thing.. ⠀ ( SMOOCH! runs his fingers up swindle’s torso. ) ⠀

⠀ i thought the same thing.. ⠀ ( sky blue really is his color! ) ⠀

⠀ ( propped in the dressing room doorway. talk about airing it all out. ) ⠀ thoughts. ⠀

⠀ ( this is the smallest shirt he’s ever seen. giving swindle a cheeky look. be right back. ) ⠀

⠀ ( hand out. let him take a closer look. ) ⠀

⠀ sounds like a good game plan to me! ⠀

⠀ bonnie did amazing, kitt. you look very handsome. and professional. ⠀ ( a wink, releasing kitt & extending his hand for michael. ) ⠀ that’s right. we haven’t forgotten about you, michael. it’s good to see you again. you still look great. ⠀

⠀ ( lord have mercy what a power duo. & they both have statement making heights! ) ⠀ looking good, kitt! save some height for the rest of us, you two. awesome to see you guys again. ⠀ ( BIG hug for kitt! SQUEEEE! ) ⠀

⠀ swinnnn. you are SO hot to me, baby. ⠀ ( grabs him by his puffy cheeks & kisses his lips. ) ⠀ let’s see if we’re right. KIIIIIITTTT!! ⠀ ( WAVING!! ⠀ * 🎉 ) ⠀

⠀ ( scratches head. coworker? no.. that’s odd. michael never struck him as the type to have any other partner besides kitt. ) ⠀ you don’t reckon that’s kitt, do you? the resemblance is.. there. ⠀
