for her the ocean was more than a dream, it was a place she needed to visit to find herself. And when she returned to the city, you could see the s u n in her eyes, the wind in her hair, and taste the infinite salt in her lips.

❥ - ariel ft. jim ;
❝ I wouldn’t know where to start , ❞ he takes a seat , sighing , a smile evident . The truth is , there would never be words to capture just what it had been like and deep down he knows the only way to show her is to really show her — something he fantasizes about often but know that it might just be a little crazy to actually suggest it . ❝ What are you curious about ? ❞ he raises a brow , nudging her in his typical playful manner ( at least on a good day ) . ❝ I think for every question I answer , you need to answer one in return . Deal ? ❞
“ everything , ” she breathes , wanting to see it through his eyes — live vicariously through his memories and treasure his adventures as fondly as that of her own making . she laughs , pretending to think about it for a moment , but she’s far too excited about the prospect of knowing more about his experience to ��keep up the appearance . “ fair enough . deal , ” she tells him , leaning forward and holdiing out her hand to shake with his own in agreement , “ — but me first . an easy one ... where did you go ? ”

❥ - levi ft. tally ;
❝ Do I think it can happen ? ❞ truth be told , Aarya doesn’t feel like she knows much of anything anymore , let alone the unpredictable nature of this show . She stirs momentarily , weighing her options . Should she be realistic or allow for a little bit of fantasy ? ❝ I’m sure it has and will , but if it happens here this time , well that’s not something I can say …. what do you think ? ❞ she doesn’t mean to ignore his last question , but it slips past her like many things have in the past
the palms of levi’s hands drag from his thighs and come to a rest at his knees . he doesn’t want to come off as such a sap , but he knows it’s probably not the worst of looks on a show called love island . “ i mean ... yeah ... maybe ? i don’t think i’d be here if i wasn’t at least a little curious or open to the possibility of it working . you know ? the whole thing’s fucking crazy , but i see the potential in it . or maybe we’re the crazy ones for coming on . ”

❥ - masyn ft. bradley ;
❝ And this is the exact moment where I realize we are sharing a bed tonight , ❞ Bradley chuckles , letting a flurry of loose curls fall into frame after a shake of his head . Maybe it’s an attempt to hide the pink in his cheeks , but he’s looking down now , his hands the center of his focus before eyes move back to the blonde . ❝ I think anyone in their right mind would be nervous … especially with someone important . That being said , if you’re more comfortable with me sleeping on one of the daybeds at first , then of course I will . I want this to feel good for the both of us , yeah ? ❞
masyn hadn’t shared a bed with anyone since her ex-boyfriend , and while the thought of sharing the bed tonight with bradley did have her feeling plenty nervous — it also didn’t . at least , nowhere near as much as she had always thought it would coming in , and that’s what scared her . they’d only just met and there was just something about the high school teacher that had her feeling giddy . “ while i’m chuffed at how sweet you’re being about it ... i’d actually feel pretty awful about making you sleep out on the daybeds . unless you start hoarding the blankets for yourself ... we might have problems then , babes , ” she tells him , laughter on the tip of her tongue .

❥ - tally ft. dillon ;
Smug doesn’t look good on Dillon , but he’s not the greatest actor and there’s not much he can do to disguise the sense of inflated ego he’s got now . Perhaps they’re in the same boat after all . The name of the game is love , as stated clearly in the title , but the idea of widespread exposure is much more important to Dillon . So long as he keeps up appearances , he’s sure there’s going to be a deal or two waiting for him when he leaves the gates of this fateful villa . Folding his hands into his lap , he offers somewhat of a more gentle approach , ❝ well , the pleasure would be all mine . You are quite ravishing . You can sum this up to a case of bad nerves , but nobody ever wants to be the final option left waiting and — I guess it was just …. pure luck that I get to spend some time with you now . So I will make sure to make it well worth your while and more . ❞ he throws in a wink for good measure , moving in closer to diminish the gap between two islanders .
hook . line . sinker . “ and more ? is that so ? ” she giggles , feigning innocence with the added flutter of her long , dark lashes . her ex once called her a wolf in sheep’s clothing , but ravishing sounded so much nicer . for now , at least , dillon’s proving to be valuable to her — an easy-on-the-eyes safety net that tally’s sure she’s got right where she needs him to be . though , how far that will actually take her remains to be seen . “ how do you plan on doing that ? ” she trails her fingertips over his forearm , cocking an eyebrow . frankly , the only thing that could ever make any of this show worth her while wasn’t love . it was getting to the end and winning that money .

❥ - lincoln ft. clark ;
❝ I’m Clark Olsen , that’s for sure . Not sure anyone else could be me if they tried . Not sure if that’s good or not …. ❞ the longer this goes on , the more his problems come to the surface . He can no longer ignore the presence that is demanded from his absence . The list of people growing longer and the needed amends even more so . And then there’s Anna . It’s not like you can forget you have a sibling , but he almost does . It’s like he’s been parentless and sisterless for longer then he’s had someone . ❝ You’re right about that one . I have to pace myself with these reunions you know . I’ll see her soon enough … ❞
He doesn’t even know where she was located at this point in time . Surely he can find out , but for now he’s pacing himself . ❝ God , I feel like I need some fresh air , ❞ he thinks out loud , the suffocating atmosphere just now getting to him . ❝ How late are you working tonight ? You closing out ? ❞
he can’t imagine what it’s like to be in clark’s shoes . lincoln had never left home . too strapped for cash , he never even went to play ball in college . he never saw another state , let alone the world — but he was still happy . really happy . this place was his home and it’d be his kids’ home if and when he ever had any of his own . no , he could never be clark . unlike the musician , lincoln could never turn his back on his home and the people who made it so . he could never forget .
letting out a low whistle , lincoln shakes his head . “ best of luck to you on that one , mate . ” he studies clark , wary that he’s about to pass right out in the middle of his future bar . “ not tonight . maggie’s working late and i promised the kid i’d bring home some pie and ice cream . ” rubbing the nape of his neck , lincoln nods to the back exit . “ look , why don’t you go get some air out back . you won’t run into anyone else and i’m about to clock out anyways so maybe you can tell me about what crazy shit you’ve been up to on the way to peggy lynn’s . i’m sure it’d beat going home to your mom’s right away , right ? ”

❥ - masyn ft. bradley ;
❝ Semi celebrating , one might say , ❞ as soon as Bradley had found himself loosening up , he’s frozen once again , not used to the always open invitation of courtship that the villa has established . He snaps out of his daze as soon as he had entered it , leaning into her touch , biting down on his lower lip . ❝ it’s all in the name of the game , is it not ? You gotta go for what you want . Hopefully you still feel the same way … now that I’m making a proper fool of myself in front of a pretty girl . ❞
“ sorry , personal space , ” masyn apologizes , though , laughter lingers on her lips . she’d never been one to shy away from any outward affection ( friends , family , or otherwise ) , so to those at home she knows are watching , her actions haven’t been any sort of surprise . ice cubes clink against her cup as she listens , swirling the paper straw in her cocktail , “ well , i’m not disappointed yet . actually , i find it pretty ... endearing . are you nervous at all to be sharing a bed this evening ? ”

❥ - ariel ft. jim ;
Quiet . Loneliness . Isolation . Words that would normally come to mind when Jim was surrounded by many in his home town . When he was away , all he could think of peace . Waking up to the sound of the rolling waves , the sea salt in the air , and the sun beating down on him . He had felt bad for awhile , leaving everything he knew behind . After a few days though the departure felt right . ❝ I kind of missed it , ❞ it was only half of a lie . In truth he had missed her . There had been so many things he had wanted to share with the redhead , moments that felt they should’ve been spent with her . He would never say that out loud though , so instead he hums in deep thought , wondering if there was a softer approach . ❝ After awhile home felt like somewhere else …. and then that would change as I went to the next place . I guess by the time I came back , this just felt more like a place that used to be something . I am happy to be back though , ❞ he hesitates before looking back at Ariel . ❝ I don’t think I could’ve not come back . ❞
ariel wonders if she’ll ever feel that way . she’d been dreaming about getting out of their colorful town ever since she’d first learned the world was big and wide with so much more out there to discover and experience . she knows her own place means more freedom , she knows it’s a total step in the right direction , but for how long would it be enough ? “ you look different , ” she finally comments , blue eyes refamilarizing herself with the sailor she’d so come to miss . he seems taller somehow and as she traces the lines of his face , she thinks he’s been kissed by the sun after so many days out at sea . “ in a good way , ” she adds , patting the spot on the bed beside her . “ do you think — will you tell me about it ? there’s so much i want to know . ”

❥ - levi ft. aarya ;
❝ Love . ❞ the words echo with a sort of sweetness to them . ❝ Even if someone isn’t here for love , it doesn’t mean it won’t come for them . It’s good there’s no couple particularly tied down just yet . Heck , we’ve barely started . No one likes the people who are stuck on each other from the start . Like where’s the fun in that ? At least wait until the third day !❞
while he agrees , levi wonders if finding someone at the start is really so bad ? he’s never had the best of luck with past relationships and when he did ... the timing just wasn’t right , but there’s a bit of a romantic in him who thinks maybe that’d be nice . lucky even . “ do you think it can actually happen in here , though ? ” he asks out of simple curiosity . “ what are you hoping to get out of the experience ? ”

❥ - masyn ft. bradley ;
He listens with his full attention on her , not once breaking eye contact . When she finishes , he’s already formulating a response , feeling wired with energy from her mere presence . ❝ Well , my kids aren’t really kids … I mean they definitely are in comparison but we’re looking at 15 year olds so they’re definitely still something , y’know ? ❞ he pauses , exhaling , ❝ and look I’m not saying good riddance to your ex but — I’m glad I get the chance to spend some time with you here … ❞ his words linger , debating whether or not he should continue . Enough time passes where he manages a subtle smile , a chuckle escaping from pressed lips . Yeah , maybe this isn’t his forte .
“ fifteen ? i see ... so , then they’re actually probably celebrating your absence , ” she teases , remembering for a brief moment what it was like to be fifteen . first boyfriends , first dances ... it felt like so long ago . “ well , if i haven’t made it obvious yet ... i’m chuffed you’re here too , ” she tells him sweetly , fluid in her actions as she reaches out to brush one of his dark curls out of his gaze . “ and i hope ... tally’s not too upset that i chose to couple up with you . ”

❥ - levi ft. aarya ;
Booker . The name hardly rings a bell before Aarya remembers it’s him she’s with and not Levi . ❝ oh …. it’s fine . We’ve hardly cracked on but it’s just the beginning . I’m not limiting myself or anything …. what about you ? ❞ she raises a brow .
it’s too soon to tell anything , he knows that ... but when aarya admits she’s hardly cracked on with the food truck owner it’s hard not to look a bit pleased . “ i get that . and you shouldn’t . limit yourself , i mean . we’re all here to find love and it's not always about the initial attraction . corinne seems like a cool girl ... she’s cute and we’ve had some good chat , but ... i’m not all that sure we’ve connected like that you know . ”

❥ - ariel ft. jim ;
❝ The side of an old warehouse , ❞ Jim chuckles , looking down . ❝ You’re right , it’s not . Maybe it’s better though ? ❞ his words linger , his brow raised . He hesitates to accept her offer right away , not even sure what he would really do . Biting down on his lip , he stares into the wall until something comes to him . Finally , he sighs , ❝ yeah , I think we could do something with it . If it’s bad though …. That’s going to be a lot to cover up . ❞
“ really ? great . that’s great , ” she murmurs , taking her lower lip between her teeth to downplay her smile . “ if it’s bad ... ? jim hawkins . always , the pessimist , ” she tuts , collapsing on the edge of her bed . “ i’m sure it’ll be great . besides , this room needs some character . when moana’s not here it ... feels kind of cold and lonely . it’s funny ... i used to hate that my house was never quiet and now ... well , i guess it’s just different . when you were away ... did you ever miss home or anything ? ”

❥ - levi ft. aarya ;
Aarya beams , pleasantly surprised by his ability to play along . ❝ I’m a free agent , but it’s taken some time to get there . I could probably give you a few pointers though . If you’re lucky you might even get an autographed photo . ❞
levi looks away , dimples on full display as laughter ripples through his body . gone are the nerves , their lighthearted conversation the icebreaker he needed to feel a bit more at ease within his surroundings . “ it’s a good thing we have some time in here then , isn’t it ? plenty of time to convince you i’m deserving . hey , how are uh ... things going with you and booker , by the way ? seems like a cool guy . you two getting on well ? ”

❥ - anna ft. clark ;
It was the part he was dreading most . His big sister . Once a person of warmth and comfort had slowly morphed into a source of anxiety . He had never meant to be so cold , but after awhile it just started to come naturally . Did she even know he was here ? Would she want him around ?Her little brother . Clark shuffles his feet on the curb , steadying his balance before attempting the big come up . Staring too long at the doorbell would burn a hole through his heart . Yet at some point he would just have to take the leap or walk away . Walking away would be too easy . Eventually he has to swallow his pride , and he doesn’t thinking twice before pressing down on that circular button . The next minute is full of agony , his heart beating out of his goddamn chest . Another second longer and he would’ve gone in again , but just as soon as he considers leaving , he’s greeted with the swing of the door , a rush of warm air hitting him .
He puts on his best smile , hands retreating to the comfort of his jacket pockets . ❝ Hey sis . ❞
“ don’t get up , i got it ! ” anna shouts from inside the small house , “ it’s just the chinese food . ” she quickly reaches for her purse as she heads for the front door , clumsily sorting past an array of art supplies and children’s snacks for some extra cash for the tip . she swears that she had some more bills to spare , but she’s short . “ i’m so sorry , roy , i think all i’ve got on me today is a five dollar ... clark ? ” she’s caught off guard as she looks up from her bag , frazzled so beyond belief that she nearly drops the former target clearance sale item to the floor in her rush to shut the door just as he greets her . ‘ hey , sis ’ ... really ??
she takes a moment to collect herself , fingers still wrapped anxiously around the doorknob . what was he doing here ? her little brother . ugh , and what a laugh that was ( she may have been older , but genetics had never been on her side at five foot four ) . she leans up on her toes to look out the door’s small window and can easily make out the familiar beanstalk who hasn’t returned a call in who knows how long . oh , and he just ... shows up on her doorstep ? on a wednesday ?? the nerve !
quickly swinging the door back open , anna’s all but ready to give clark the long awaited piece of her mind , but she takes one full look at him and can only manage to see the little guy that she swore to protect when she was just seven years old . so , she doesn’t yell . instead , she bridges the gap between the two of them and simply hugs him . tightly . almost as if he were a balloon and letting go meant that he’d float away again . “ don’t think this means i’m not mad at you . i am , ” she reminds him , words muffled by the fabric of his shirt that she’s got her cheek pressed against .
