Carabiner Crazy: Using Online Specs & Reviews to Choose the Right 'Biners for Every Job

Walk up to any seasoned climber, and you'll likely see their harness adorned with an array of metal loops – carabiners, often affectionately called 'biners. These unassuming pieces of gear are the fundamental connection points in the climbing safety system, linking rope to harness, harness to anchor, protection to rope. They are common, necessary, and vital to security. Yet, stroll through an online climbing shop, and the sheer variety can be overwhelming. Ovals, Ds, Pear-shapes, wire gates, solid gates, screw locks, auto-locks, tiny lightweight models, burly steel workhorses... how do you possibly choose the right one? While they might look similar at first glance, subtle differences in design dictate their optimal use and safety parameters. Thankfully, the digital age provides powerful tools – detailed online specifications and user reviews – that empower climbers to cut through the confusion and select the perfect carabiner for every specific task.

The advantage of researching and purchasing Climbing Products Online is immense, especially for technical gear like carabiners. Unlike a potentially limited selection at a local store, online retailers offer access to a vast range of brands, models, colors, and features from around the globe. Crucially, online product pages provide immediate access to critical technical specifications – strength ratings, weight, gate opening, dimensions, material composition, and certifications – all laid out for comparison. Furthermore, user reviews offer invaluable real-world insights into handling characteristics, durability, and potential quirks that might not be apparent from specs alone. This combination of comprehensive data and community feedback allows climbers to make highly informed decisions, ensuring they acquire not just any carabiner, but the right carabiner for their intended use, maximizing both safety and efficiency.

Decoding the Data: Key Carabiner Specs Found Online

When browsing carabiners online, focus on deciphering these key specifications:

Shape: The overall shape significantly impacts handling, strength, and optimal use.

D-Shape: Strongest shape when loaded along the major axis (spine), as it directs force away from the weaker gate. Excellent for most applications, including quickdraws. Asymmetric Ds offer wider gate openings.

Oval: Symmetrical shape, ideal for racking gear smoothly (nuts don't bunch up), certain pulley systems, and aid climbing where gear needs to sit predictably. Generally weaker and heavier than D-shapes.

HMS (Pear Shape): Named from the German "Halbmastwurfsicherung" (Munter hitch belay), these larger, pear-shaped locking carabiners provide ample space for belaying with a Munter hitch or various belay devices, rigging, and connecting multiple items.

Gate Type: How the carabiner opens and closes is a critical distinction.

Solid Gate: Traditional design, often with straight or bent gates. Straight gates are standard; bent gates facilitate easier rope clipping (typically used on the rope-end of quickdraws).

Wire Gate: Lighter than solid gates, less prone to freezing in icy conditions, and less susceptible to "gate flutter" (a resonance that can momentarily open the gate during a fall – though rare). Offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios.

Locking Gates: Essential where security is paramount (belaying, anchors, rappelling).

Screwgate: Manually screwed sleeve locks the gate. Simple, reliable, less prone to freezing/jamming with grit than some auto-lockers, but requires conscious effort to lock (and check!).

Auto-locking: Spring-loaded sleeve automatically locks when the gate closes. Common types include Twist-lock (twist and pull), Magnetic, and Triple-Action (e.g., lift, twist, pull) offering increasing levels of security against accidental opening. Online specs clearly state the locking mechanism.

Strength Ratings: Mandatory markings (usually etched on the spine and visible in online photos/specs) indicate minimum breaking strength in kilonewtons (kN).

Major Axis: Strength along the spine with the gate closed (highest rating).

Minor Axis: Strength across the width of the carabiner with the gate closed (much lower). Avoid loading carabiners this way.

Gate Open: Strength along the major axis with the gate open (lowest rating). This highlights why ensuring gates are closed and locked (if applicable) is critical. Online specs always list these three values.

Size and Weight: Crucial for alpine climbing or long routes where every gram counts. Smaller carabiners save weight but can be harder to handle, especially with gloves. Online listings provide exact weight (in grams) and dimensions (length/width).

Gate Opening: The maximum width the gate opens. A larger opening makes clipping ropes, slings, or anchors easier. Compare this spec online, especially for the rope-end 'biner on quickdraws or for HMS carabiners.

Nose Design (Keylock vs. Hooked): The nose is where the gate meets the carabiner body.

Hooked/Notch Nose: Traditional design with a hook that can snag on gear loops, bolt hangers, or slings, making unclipping frustrating.

Keylock Nose: Features a smooth notch-free interface, allowing for snag-free clipping and unclipping. Highly preferred for most applications, and clearly advertised on relevant carabiners online.

Matching 'Biners to the Job: Using Online Info for Application

With specs understood, online research helps you select the right tool:

Belaying/Rappelling: Look for HMS/Pear-shaped locking carabiners online. Compare auto-locking vs. screwgate based on preference and conditions. Check reviews for smoothness with your specific belay device.

Building Anchors: Choose strong locking carabiners (D or HMS). Consider screwgates for simplicity or triple-action auto-lockers for maximum security, especially in guide or instructional settings. Online comparisons help weigh security features against ease of use.

Quickdraws: Often sold pre-assembled online. Look for draws with a straight gate (bolt end) and a bent or wire gate (rope end). Prioritize keylock noses for snag-free cleaning. Compare weight and sling length options available online. For alpine draws, lightweight wiregate carabiners on both ends are common – check online specs for the lightest, certified options. While your climbing harness holds your critical life-support gear, managing smaller personal items requires a different approach. Keeping essentials like sunscreen, lip balm, or snacks easily accessible yet secure might involve clipping a small pouch or utilizing something like a Waterproof Fanny Pack worn separately, ensuring these comfort items are protected from sweat or unexpected showers without interfering with your climbing rack.

Racking Gear (Cams/Nuts): Lightweight Ovals or small D-shaped non-lockers work well. Ovals rack symmetrically. Online reviews might comment on how well specific models sit on different harness gear loops.

Alpine/Trad Climbing: Weight is often paramount. Search online specifically for lightweight wiregate carabiners. Compare strength-to-weight ratios listed in the specs. Consider color-coding options available online to match cams for faster identification.

Leveraging Online Reviews for Nuance

Specifications tell only part of the story. Online user reviews provide invaluable context:

Handling: How does it feel in the hand? Is the gate action smooth or stiff? Is it easy to operate the locking mechanism, especially with one hand or wearing gloves? Reviews often detail these subjective but crucial aspects.

Durability: Users might comment on how the anodization holds up, or if the gate mechanism remains smooth after extended use or exposure to dirt/chalk.

Real-World Use: Climbers might share specific compatibility notes (e.g., "works great with X belay device," "gate opening is tight for Y rope").

Potential Issues: Look for recurring comments about gate flutter (rare but possible on some non-lockers), susceptibility to freezing/jamming, or premature wear.

Cross-reference reviews across multiple online retailers or climbing forums for a balanced perspective. Just as you meticulously choose each piece of your climbing system, ensuring the protection of your entire investment during transport is also key. Stowing your rope, harness, and other sensitive equipment inside a durable Waterproof Dry Bag during wet approaches or storage protects them from moisture and dirt, maximizing their lifespan and readiness for your next climb.

Don't Forget Certification & Reputable Sellers

Always ensure carabiners purchased online are certified by recognized bodies like the UIAA (International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation) or CE (European Conformity). Reputable online climbing retailers will clearly display these certifications. Avoid suspiciously cheap deals from unknown sellers, as counterfeit gear poses a deadly risk.

Conclusion: Click Confidently for the Right Connection

The humble carabiner is a masterpiece of engineering, vital to every climber's safety and efficiency. Navigating the sea of options can seem daunting, but by leveraging the wealth of information available online – detailed specifications, comparative data, and real-world user reviews – you can confidently select the perfect 'biner for every task. Taking the time to research Climbing Products Online ensures you invest in gear that meets your needs precisely, enhancing both performance and peace of mind. Remember, the right connection point is critical on the wall, just as ensuring your personal items are secure in a Waterproof Fanny Pack or your larger gear is protected in a Waterproof Dry Bag from trusted brands like Skog Å Kust contributes to a smoother, safer, and more enjoyable overall adventure. Research diligently, choose wisely, and climb safely!

@genderthings Robin's Gender Week Day 2, prompt: "safe" with a hint of "he/him lesbians" | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4

T | 1570 | (G)Queer/Masc/GNC Robin | poor boundaries Stobin, pining or background: Steddie, Buckingham, Argyle/Jon/Nancy | 90s/00s AU (they're baby queers), STP packers, spicy seven, kayaking with friends

[title placeholder, brain empty]

It's a fun little getaway, planned after looking through dozens of local guides, until they found the nearest kayaking place. At this point, nobody is sure whose idea it was, but after his third time in the water, Eddie is ready to blame anyone.

"Never again is Steve picking a destination. Ever!" he yells, flipping wet hair out of his face as he scouts for the nearest clearing of the river bank. If he tries climbing on the kayak again, he risks dunking Chrissy as well. And frankly, his arms are tired.

"It was actually Chrissy's idea," Steve points out, calmly floating by in his boat. Robin, sitting in front of him, hums thoughtfully.

"Not Nancy's?"

"I'm pretty sure it was Steve's," Chrissy, Eddie's last friend, sides with him.

"Whatever. Do you guys see any place where I can climb out?"

The Robin-and-Steve team dips their oars in the water, pushing ahead, while Chrissy slowly drifts with the current, and Eddie hands limply off the side of her kayak.

"There's a camping place, come on!"

Eddie groans with relief when he hears Steve's voice.

"Finally!" He channels all the leftover strength in his muscles to push himself forward and swim to the makeshift dock. He hopes at least half of their group is tired enough to vote they take a longer break, maybe even take camp for the night. Surely his wet clothes deserve some pity.

The only plus of being in the water is not balancing on the wobbly vessel of a boat and trying to step on the dock. Eddie watches as Steve exits first with barely any grace and then helps Robin and Chrissy. When the girls are securing their kayaks to the pier, he helps Eddie climb on the dock as well.

"Thanks, man," he sighs, collapsing onto the old boards. "As much as I hate the Sun, I surely appreciate it right now," he grumbles, closing his eyes. He can feel his wet clothes steaming in the summer heat.

He yelps when something hits his face

"Dry yourself off, dude," Steve says.

He tentatively opens one eye, shielding his face with what turns out to be a towel. Not his, though, Harrington's. But he doesn't dare question it.

"Uh, thanks."

They flag down Nancy, Argyle and Jonathan, who are lagging behind while Jon takes nature shots, and together they agree it's time for a break. Eddie undresses happily, to leave his wet clothes in the sun, and wraps Steve's fluffy towel around himself.

"I gotta pee," Robin announces to the public, and Eddie's head snaps up to meet Chrissy's startled gaze.

Girls pee together, right? He tries to telepathically tell her to take the chance and offer her services, whatever they might be. Eddie isn't that well versed in female rituals and even less in girl-on-girl courtship.

"You coming?"

Chrissy almost opens her mouth to answer, but as she and Eddie look at Robin, they find her looking at someone else.

"You still need help?" Steve bitches back at her, but drops the bag he's been going through.

"Maybe," she answers half defensively, crossing her arms.

"Fine." Steve shrugs, following her towards the dilapidated toilets in the far end of the clearing.

Seeing those, Eddie thanks the gods for being born with a dick. He can just find a secluded, clean bush later.

"Well, I guess that makes sense," Chrissy murmurs as the two best friends walk away to pee in tandem. Eddie has to agree—even a bathroom door couldn't stop these two from bitching about their current job or a failed date, apparently.

He's focusing on detangling his drying hair with the brush Chrissy hands him, when he hears a loud lough that makes him look up. Just as expected, he can see his friends continuously talking while peeing by the line of tall weeds behind the toilets.

It doesn't register at first, but eventually, he does a double take.

"Do you see what I'm seeing?" he asks without looking at his friend, too afraid the sight before his eyes could vanish if he turned his head.

"What are you seeing?" Chrissy picks up without much thought, and as she follows his line of sights, it also takes her a moment to register what the issue is. "Huh."

"Yeah," Eddie nods, glad he's not losing his mind. "Does Robin—? You know."

"I don't know," Chrissy answers to whatever Eddie had in mind.

They both watch as Robin looks down to Steve's dick where, assuming from the motion of his shoulders, he's shaking it off, and mirrors the same movement with whatever is between her...his?...legs.

The unbreakable duo seems to be zipping up their pants so Eddie turns hastily to his best friend.

"Should we ask about it?" he whispers heatedly, eyes darting worriedly to see how much time they have left before they risk getting overheard.

"I don't think it's polite?" Chrissy cracks her knuckles nervously and he reaches out to stop her.

"Yeah, but it's not like they're hiding?" he points out. Whatever the deal is, Robin could have used the toilets, or go further away not to be seen.

"I guess so..." Chrissy trails off. She's playing with Eddie's fingers now, squeezing them beyond the comfortable levels of pain, but he lets it slide for now. "I mean, asking means we care, right?"

Eddie doesn't know the intricacies of gender issues that well, but nods his head nevertheless.

"Probably?" is all he can offer. Then, the Robin and Steve duo is walking back, and the Cali threesome is at the dock, and they aren't sure what would be a good timing to ask.

Steve holds his hands up to him and Eddie knows they were holding his dick minutes ago. He wants to bury his face in them.

He obviously doesn't register what Steve says, but Chrissy is the best and presses hand sanitizer into his palm. Eddie quickly gets the clue and squirts a generous amount on his friend's extended hands.

"Thank you," Steve smiles, rubbing the gel between his fingers. Without a word, Robin holds out her hands too, so Eddie squeezes out some for them as well.

"Hey, Robbie?" Chrissy pipes up, the brave girl. Eddie is too focused on the sounds the sanitizing gel makes between Steve's fingers. "If there's anything we should know, you can safely tell us, we won't judge."

"Yeah," Eddie nods.

"I mean, we're friends with Eddie."

"Yeah!" he nods more vigorously. "And don't forget the throuple over there," he throws a thumb at where their friends are unpacking their paddle boat.

Robin's face falls, going pale in the process as well. Eddie can sense his friend's panic so he squeezes her knee, letting her know she didn't do anything wrong.

Similarly, Steve lays a hand on Robin's shoulder. It calms down their jittering, and they look up to see the rest of their group arriving to the clearing.

"Well, since everyone is here," they murmur, inching closer to their best friend. Steve dutifully wraps his arm around his platonic soulmate for support. He gets elbowed for his efforts but miraculously, reads it as the call for help that it is.

He coughs, motioning for the last three to join.

"A quick group meeting, guys!" Steve calls out, calm as a cucumber so the others know no inter-dimensional demons are lurking in the shadows.

"What's up?" Nancy asks, leading the boys behind her.

"Rob has something to share," he says, nudging his friend gently.

"Uh, yeah," Robin stammers. "So you know how boys can pee easily wherever they want, right?" they ask somewhat rethoretically, but a few of them nod in acknowledgment. "So, I got a stand to pee packer, which is a silicone dick with peeing option, usually used by trans guys," Robin explains, avoiding everyone's gaze. "It was for convenience at first, but the more I thought about it and talked with Steve," their friend squeezes them tighter when mentioned in the rant, "while he was teaching me the intricacies of using a dick and keeping me company on bathroom breaks, I realized…" They take a quick breath. "It's actually nice to be perceived as a guy."

The silence stretches, but before it can get uncomfortable, Chrissy speaks up.

"So, how do you want to be addressed?" she asks.

"Uh, Robin is already gender-neutral, so I like that," Robin says. "And when it comes to pronouns, I don't think I mind any? He, she, they, all sound okay to me. The only thing, I still consider myself a lesbian?" Robin admits hesitantly. "Like, it's a community I feel comfortable in and associate with, and it might sound wrong when I'm—"

"Hey." Nancy stops them with a raise of her palm. "I don't think it's that weird, you don't have to explain. You just wouldn't want your relationship with a woman to be considered heterosexual, yeah?"

"Yeah," Robin smiles, relieved to be understood. "That's a part of it."

"So can I call you bro?" Argyle pipes up, to which Nancy scoffs.

"You call me bro all the time!" she points out.

"Yeah, but like, as a pet-name, you know?"

Everyone not involved in their little polycule look at them curiously. They are used to the weirdness, but every time something like this pops up, it's weirder than the last one.

"Yeah, do not call me bro," Robin decides quickly.

"Gotcha."

Wherever you go (that's where I'll follow)

satosugu fic

Rating: E (NSFW 18+)

Summary: “You just don’t get it, do you?! He’s not right in the head, Yaga. You know what he told me the other day? He’s thinking about leaving. For good. We’re going to lose him if we don’t at least fucking try to do something,” Satoru was seething, fingernails biting into his palms at how tightly he clenched his fists. He takes a silent moment, deciding, tipping the scales. And, suddenly, his clarity comes to him.

How could he possibly live without Suguru Geto by his side?

Tears stung his eyes, threatening to spill. “And you know what? If he goes, I go.” He declared angrily, eyebrows pinched together. “Now, is that a risk you’re willing to take?”

In which Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo fail a traumatic mission, and Suguru is faced with the most important decision of his life.

Chapter 1: Okinawa

“Let’s just fly out tomorrow morning, Suguru!” Satoru Gojo called out to his friend as he splashed in the clear ocean waves of Okinawa.

Riko Amanai’s eyes sparkled at this idea. She peered up at Satoru, who was initially tormenting her with a creepy-looking sea cucumber.

Suguru Geto frowned, hand coming up to his brow to block the sun. “You know we can’t…” He called back, standing and dusting sand off of himself. He padded over to a shady spot.

Satoru, bone-dry from head to toe, met him on the shore. “C’mon, Sugu, the weather will hold up, and there’s not as many curse users around. What’s one more day to go sightseeing?” He challenged with a pout. “We’ll just let the bounty expire while we’re in the air.”

Suguru’s eyebrows pinched together in concern. He leaned in and murmured, “You haven’t released your technique since yesterday, have you?”

Satoru’s eyes grew wide. He remained silent, biting the inside of his cheek.

“You haven’t slept, either, and I know you don’t plan on sleeping tonight,” he looked Satoru up and down, taking note of the heavy bags under his eyes. “I’m worried about you, Satoru. You sure we don’t need to go back?”

He gave Suguru a playful punch and reassured him, “I’m fine, really, stop worrying. I’ve stayed up longer playing Stardew Valley.” He leaned in closer, grinning as he added, “Plus, you’re here too.”

Suguru softened.

Satoru smirked as he continued in a suggestive whisper near Suguru’s ear, “And you’re going to keep me up tonight, right?”

Suguru flushed beet red, muttering, “I guess it wouldn’t hurt…”

Satoru swung around, calling out, “Hey, Riko, we’re staying!”

Riko cheered, excitedly tugging on Kuroi’s sleeve.

So, unsurprisingly, the group ended up sightseeing for the rest of the day.

Satoru packed the day with fun activities: tandem kayaking, shopping for souvenirs, visiting botanical gardens, eating ramen, and finally, the best part, visiting Okinawa’s aquarium.

If Suguru had any idea of what a “perfect date” was, this would have to be it.

He gazed at Satoru lovingly, admiring how the glowing aquarium tanks reflected in his equally beautiful ocean eyes. Satoru, in his own impulsive way of course, planned this whole amazing day for everyone even while sleep-deprived and anxious. Suguru glanced over at Riko and Kuroi, both of whom looked on in wonder at the exhibits. He noticed Satoru’s attention also shifted to them. Satoru was smiling, in that excited, prideful way he always did after successful missions.

He’s being so thoughtful today...

Suddenly, Suguru filled with emotion, his stomach twisting and filling with butterflies. He meditated on how precious Satoru was to him and it almost hurt how intensely he wanted to cherish and protect his teammate. His fingers nudged at Satoru’s, and Satoru responded by lacing them tightly, uncaring of curious onlookers. Everyone else faded into the background, as they often did when he was with Suguru. They stood in comfortable silence as they watched sea creatures dart and weave around them.

“It’s like we’re on vacation…” Suguru thought aloud, smiling softly to himself.

Satoru peeked at him through the corner of his sunglasses and matched his smile.

“It’s nice, isn’t it?” Satoru replied, fixing his gaze on the giant, majestic whale passing over them.

Suguru squeezed his hand gently.

“Yeah, it is.”

They rented a quaint, two-bedroom beach house for the night. Misato Kuroi, the only true adult present (because let’s be honest, two eighteen-year-old high-school students barely make up a single, functional adult), helped organize this with Suguru. He managed to smooth-talk his way into the last beach house vacancy in Okinawa for the night under her supervision.

“It’s only two bedrooms…” Kuroi commented as they all settled in. “Is that okay for you both? There might be a spare futon…”

“It’s fine,” they both replied in unison, side-eyeing each other and giggling quietly as they shuffled inside with their bags.

Kuroi looked surprised at first, then her face softened and she smiled. “You two must be very close.”

“Yeah, we’re boy-” Satoru started.

“Best friends. We’re best friends.” Suguru finished. He shot a warning look at Satoru.

Satoru clenched his teeth into an awkward, apologetic smile and escaped into the bedroom. Kuroi’s eyebrows rose as she studied Suguru’s face curiously. They exchanged uncomfortable, polite smiles and farewells, then scurried to their respective bedrooms.

He frowned as he entered the room and shut the door behind him. “Can you try to be a little more subtle? We’re still on a mission, after all…” He muttered in a low volume, dropping his backpack on the floor next to the bed.

Satoru flopped onto the bed with a relieved sigh, spreading out his stuff wherever he felt like it. His sunglasses were the only thing folded neatly on the bedside table. “Oh, whatever, stop being so uptight. Let’s just enjoy this little vacation together while we can.” He patted at the spot next to him, wiggling his finger in a “come hither” motion.

Suguru conceded, pulling the elastic from his bun as he joined Satoru on the mattress. “I’m glad we stayed. You planned a really nice day, Satoru.” He settled into a plush pile of pillows, his long, dark hair splaying in beautiful contrast to the white linens.

“I know. You’re welcome.” Satoru took this opportunity to wriggle closer, slipping under Suguru’s arm and resting his head on his chest. He snaked his long arms around Suguru’s waist, sighing happily as he squeezed tightly.

“Take a nap, you need it,” Suguru suggested, hooking his arm around Satoru’s shoulders and reaching up to thread his fingers into fluffy white hair. He pulled out his phone to set an alarm.

Satoru yawned, fighting to keep his eyes open in Suguru’s warm embrace. “I can’t… Gotta protect her…” Despite his arguments, he nuzzled his face further into Suguru’s shoulder.

“I’ll stay up and wake you in a couple of hours. I’ve already got curses patrolling outside. You don’t have to do this alone, y’know.”

Satoru forced his eyes to open as best as could to give Suguru an appreciative glance. Then, he smiled deviously with another brilliant idea written across his face. “I’ll sleep… if you jump in the ocean with me later tonight.”

Suguru snorted as he scrolled through his phone, “Satoru, that’s a terrible idea.”

“My ideas are never terrible,” Satoru mumbled, eyelids growing heavy again. He finally closed them as he murmured, sadly and quietly, “You didn’t even get in today… I wanted to swim with you.”

“I’ll think about it.” Suguru smiled, kissing the top of Satoru’s head. His hair smelled like sweet citrus. “Now get some rest.”

Satoru hummed sleepily before he drifted off, “I know you’ll say yes.”

Suguru laughed quietly to himself.

I probably will.

Satoru woke in a panic two hours later, gasping and attempting to sit up. He was still firmly tucked against Suguru, who jolted at Satoru’s sudden movements. Satoru lifted his head from Suguru’s chest, eyes wide with anxiety. “Wha- What time is it?! Where’s Riko!?”

Suguru patted him, coaxing his head back down. “Hey, it’s alright,” he soothed, shoving his phone into his pocket. “Riko’s sleeping, everything’s fine. It’s only 11pm.”

Satoru relaxed into the touch, sighing. “Good, I’m glad.” He sat up and stretched with a yawn. “Only 11? Oh, that’s perfect. Let’s go for a dip.” He grinned widely and stood. Clearly, an extra few hours of sleep did the job. “C’mon, we’re already in swimsuits.”

Suguru rolled his eyes, groaning, “Ugh I was really hoping you’d forget about that. It’s going to be freezing, Satoru.” He stretched out across the mattress, shaking the numb arm Satoru was sleeping on.

“Exactly,” Satoru replied with a smug look and booped Suguru on the nose with his finger. “It’ll keep us awake.”

Suguru took a silent moment to consider. He hated (loved) that Satoru could convince him into these shenanigans so easily. He finally agreed, but on one condition, “I’m only going in if you promise not to use Infinity.” He squinted at him, a serious look on his face. “This is your idea, so you have to commit. Otherwise, I’m staying here.”

Satoru’s face fell. He pouted, “But-”

“We can take a shower together after...”

“Okay fine. No Infinity,” Satoru immediately agreed, blushing wildly.

Fortunately for the pair, the beach house rental was only a few hundred feet away from the beach itself, and, to Satoru’s relief, he could still survey the area even from this distance. Suguru’s curses continued to guard the perimeter as Kuroi and Riko slept soundly.

They ran out in nothing but swim trunks, racing each other towards the shore. Satoru won, naturally, but that only fueled Suguru to shove him into the ocean.

He tumbled into the shallow water with a yelp as an ice-cold wave washed over him. “Oh fuck that’s c-cold!” Satoru stuttered as stood quickly and hugged himself. His teeth started chattering as the wind hit his freezing skin, and goosebumps spread across his exposed torso. He was especially sensitive to touch these past few days, only releasing his technique when he was alone with Suguru.

Satoru suddenly regretted this brilliant idea of his. He grimaced as he splashed Suguru with a big wave (and he may have put a little “physics-altering momentum” into it, too).

“I told you, idiot!” Suguru laughed, putting his arms up to block. “Just keep going, it’ll warm up.” He waded in until he was chest-deep, shivering and clenching with each wave that rolled over him. Satoru followed, whining and groaning with each step he took until he finally just gave in and dunked his whole head under the water. He floated back up seconds later with a gasp, more awake than he’d ever been in his entire life. His once spiky hair fell flat against his head in a white helmet.

“Oh my god, your hair!” Suguru exclaimed between laughs as he floated around Satoru for a better look. He laughed even harder as Satoru tried to fix it, tears starting to well in his eyes. “You look like a drowning poodle!”

“Oh that’s soooo funny,” Satoru replied sarcastically and frowned. He secretly loved hearing Suguru laugh like this, the rare sound music to his ears, even if he was the butt of the joke. He smirked, seeking revenge by suddenly pushing Suguru’s head under the water.

Suguru resurfaced quickly, scowling, his loose hair almost totally covering his face as he rose from the water. Satoru brushed it aside gently, giving him a quick, salty kiss.

“You look like a hot mermaid,” he commented with a grin.

Suguru returned the kiss, dipping his head back into the water and smoothing it out of his eyes. He smirked, replying playfully, “Careful, or I might drag you to your death.” He grabbed Satoru by the waist, pulling him in and tickling him under the water with clawing fingers.

Satoru doubled over with laughter, his stomach clenching tightly. “H-hey, Suguru! St-stop it, you fucking jerk!” He writhed in Suguru’s grasp, trying to push him away.

“What’s the magic word?”

“Kiss my ass,” he spat with a grin. Satoru yelped as Suguru’s fingers dug into his sides harder. He squirmed uncomfortably, the touch becoming overstimulating even though he couldn’t stop laughing.

Suguru’s smirk grew wider. “Hmm, I don’t think that’s it, sorry.”

He considered the fact that Satoru could push him away so easily with his technique and, yet, he never used it against him. Not even once.

Does he really trust me that much?

He grinned even wider.

“Okay, please, please stop,” Satoru whined quickly, tearing up as he giggled.

Suguru let go, looking pleased with this answer. “Aww, the strongest baby can’t even handle a wittle tickle,” he teased with a chuckle, slicking Satoru’s hair back and giving him a wet kiss.

Satoru deepened the kiss immediately, to Suguru’s surprise, as he gripped long, wet locks firmly. His tongue slipped into Suguru’s mouth, flicking along his bottom lip, tasting salt and sweet and everything in between. He wanted to feel everything with Suguru because the touches hurt so good right now. Despite this icy ocean, he felt like he was on fire with Suguru so close to him. It was a sensitive, raw ache all over his body being in love this deeply while also being this touch-starved.

His fingers grazed up a goose-pimpled, muscled thigh and he received a soft moan against his lips. Suguru lifted his leg, hooking it around Satoru’s hip, as he pushed into him.

“I’ve wanted to do this all day,” Satoru breathed between kisses, pulling the other leg up around his hips. Suguru was suspended weightlessly around him as his arms slipped around Satoru’s shoulders.

“Oh yeah?” Suguru replied in a whisper just above the crashing waves. They waded comfortably, pulled by the low tide, each jostle of the ocean rubbing Satoru’s arousal against Suguru’s thigh. He smirked, legs tightening their grip as he commented, “I can tell.” Suguru initiated another deep kiss, biting and sucking on his lower lip.

Satoru groaned, gripping his hips, his greedy fingers sliding under the waistband of Suguru’s swim trunks and over his ass. “Should we take this inside?” He asked huskily, squeezing.

Suguru gasped, squirming in Satoru’s grasp. His own arousal pressed against Satoru’s abs through his thin swim trunks. “Y-yeah, let’s warm up,” he agreed shakily, attempting to slip down but Satoru didn’t release his grip. In fact, he might have made it tighter.

“Uh, let me get down.”

“Nah.”

Satoru started towards the shore, slowly swishing through the water as Suguru still clung to him.

Suguru flushed, pulling back with pinched eyebrows. “What do you mean, ‘nah?!’ What the fuck!? Let go!” He started pushing on Satoru’s shoulders to no avail because big, warm hands only held him tighter to his body.

Satoru rested his chin on Suguru’s shoulder, pouting and whining, “But I don’t want to…” He pressed his lips to the man’s neck, nibbling at it gently. “Just let me be Prince Eric and rescue you, Princess Ariel!”

Suguru’s face grew hotter, mumbling, “You’re such a weirdo.” He didn’t fight as Satoru carried him until the ocean licked at his ankles. He climbed down awkwardly, both shuddering as the humid breeze hit their cold, wet skin. Satoru grabbed his hand as they ran back to the beach house, still dripping wet and freezing.

Suguru squeezed out as much seawater from his hair and his trunks as he could before stepping into the house. (Satoru just vibrated the water off of himself somehow.) They beelined it for the bathroom, but not before Satoru took a quick once-over of the property just in case.

“It’s not every day we get to share a private shower,” Suguru commented quietly with a coy smile, turning the showerhead on. He pulled off his trunks, wringing them out over the bathroom drain and hanging them over the glass shower door. He begrudgingly did this with his friend’s swimsuit as well, for Satoru left them as a soggy heap on the tile floor and jumped in the shower immediately.

“Oh, this is definitely not hot enough,” Satoru declared, a little too loudly, and Suguru shushed him. “Sorry,” he followed up with an apologetic whisper, cranking the water temperature.

Suguru stepped in, hissing as burning droplets of water hit his skin. “What the hell?! Why did you make it so fucking hot?” He took up the far corner of the boxy shower, reaching out a curious hand and wincing.

“I was cold,” Satoru replied and shrugged. He turned the dial down by barely a centimeter. “Now who’s the sensitive one…” He trailed off playfully under his breath, shivering pleasantly as he allowed the scalding water to flush his ivory skin.

Suguru’s gaze flicked up and down Satoru’s naked body with a devious grin. He moved in closer, pressing his cold front against the man’s warm back. Satoru inhaled sharply, jolting.

“Thanks for warming me up,” Suguru murmured into Satoru’s neck, reaching out to adjust the water as he fought against the burning, steaming spray. (He still left it hot for Satoru, but a bit more manageable for him.) “Want me to wash your hair?”

“Sure, can I borrow-”

“No.”

Satoru flipped around, pouting and flashing fake teary eyes. “C’mon, I just forgot it this time...”

Suguru crossed his arms and scowled as he replied, “You always use up my nice hair products, Satoru. Just go buy them yourself!”

“I’m sorry, Sugu, I’ll pay you back, you know I’m good for it. I really did forget my shampoo.” Suguru could tell he was speaking candidly. Satoru’s long, wet lashes fluttered against his rosy cheeks. He looked like a porcelain doll, his glowing, crystal eyes still piercing and ethereal even in the foggy steam of the shower. His cheeks and lips flushed bright pink in contrast to his pale, perfect skin. “Sometimes it’s just nice to smell like you…” he murmured sheepishly with a little smile.

Suguru blushed and avoided eye contact as he grumbled, “Just give me the shampoo, creep.”

Satoru cheered, snatching the bottle off of the shower ledge and tossing it over. He turned his back, closing his eyes and sighing contentedly as Suguru’s fingertips massaged his scalp in little circles. “This feels so good,” he groaned softly, “It’s kinda turning me on…”

Suguru laughed. “Shut your mouth unless you want shampoo to get in it.” He scrubbed a little harder with a smile, eliciting a pleasant moan from Satoru. “There, wash it out.” He stepped back, watching as Satoru turned around blindly. His gaze immediately fixed on the man’s stiff cock. “Oh,” he laughed, amusedly, “You weren’t even kidding, you pervert.” He bit his lip, curious fingers reaching out and teasing.

Satoru sucked in a breath as he finished rinsing the suds, leaning into the touch as Suguru slowly stroked him. “Who’re you calling a pervert? I’m just washing my hair over here, minding my own…” He opened his eyes, surprised to find a wet, seductively coy-looking Suguru on his knees, cock in hand. “...business.” His lips parted, mouth suddenly dry despite the water trickling down them.

Suguru locked eyes with him silently, putting a finger to his lips in warning before taking Satoru into his mouth. He closed his eyes as he licked and sucked hungrily, streams of water dripping onto his face as he did. Satoru moaned into his fist, his other hand finding its way to the back of Suguru’s head and grabbing a fistful of damp, salty hair.

Satoru guided him deeper and deeper without complaint until he was nearly swallowed whole, eyes rolling back and blessing the higher powers of the universe for Suguru’s nonexistent gag reflex. The man’s tongue lashed to graze the head of his cock as Suguru’s hands explored. He reached around to squeeze Satoru’s tight ass, and Satoru nearly yelled, his hand covering his mouth. Taunting fingers slipped between cheeks teasingly, rubbing and toying, a gentle press to his entrance but nothing more. Satoru released a surprised gasp, tensing as a spike of nervous, excited adrenaline rushed over him.

Satoru stifled a groan, pleasure choking him, arresting his chest, his stomach, his aching arousal. It took everything in him not to moan or sob, or both (probably, both). He fucked Suguru’s mouth with quaking thighs, burying himself into his hot throat, and pulling away only to be pressed into calloused fingers.

He was always a quick shot. Being sensitive, exhausted, and anxious didn’t help the matter.

Satoru bit into his knuckle with a choked cry, eyes watering as he pushed onto Suguru’s head and spilled into his mouth without warning. Knees growing weak, he leaned himself against the cool tile with heavy breaths. His fingers fell from Suguru’s hair.

Suguru swallowed, unfazed, and licked his lips with a wicked smile. He rose from his knees, putting his shampoo bottle in Satoru’s hands. “Your turn, right?”

Satoru grinned and bit his lip, catching a big breath as he straightened up. “You’re dangerous, y’know that?”

Suguru turned his back to soak his damp beach waves in the shower stream, gazing over his shoulder momentarily as he replied, “I know.”

Satoru took his time shampooing Suguru’s hair, relishing seeing how much it had grown since they became teammates. He couldn’t help but swoon over Suguru with his hair down, how gorgeous he looked with long, dark locks framing his delicate face. The first time he saw Suguru with loose hair, he was devastatingly smitten. Obnoxiously so. Satoru was lost in nostalgia as he gently massaged and scrubbed.

“You done yet?” Suguru finally murmured, eyes closed with a pleased smile on his face.

“Oh. Yeah, you’re good.” Satoru stood back, admiring, still riding the oxytocin wave of his orgasm. He grabbed a bar of soap, lathered it, and washed the smell of seawater off his skin. Suguru did the same after washing the suds out of his hair. Watching him from across the shower stream, Satoru grew impatient for physical contact yet again. He stepped close, slick fingers sliding across Suguru’s slippery chest. “Wash your back?” He offered with a grin.

Suguru nodded, turning, but little did he know that Satoru’s idea of washing his back was more like Satoru rubbing his soapy torso against him. “Seriously?” he asked with a flat, irritated tone as his body betrayed him. His cock twitched at the feeling of Satoru’s slippery, muscled chest against his back.

Long arms wrapped around Suguru, hands wandering and spreading soap over his chest and abs. “I’m helping,” he sang, his touch lingering over Suguru’s nipples a little too long.

“You’re definitely not,” Suguru replied, breath quickening in Satoru’s embrace. A moan caught in his throat at the brush of fingers across his pecs.

“Oh, I think I am.” He said it in his ear so softly that Suguru nearly jumped out of his skin. Satoru’s chin rested on his shoulder as his slick hands teased a bit lower, grazing a half-hard cock. “Pervert,” he breathed mischievously as he licked Suguru’s lobe.

Suguru shivered, gasping as Satoru grabbed him with a soapy hand and stroked him. His arm pressed against the shower wall for leverage, stifling his moans as best as he could. Satoru’s hand slipped across his length easily as his other hand pinched one of Suguru’s nipples. The longer this went on, the harder Satoru felt as he pressed himself into Suguru’s ass.

“Let’s do it tonight,” Satoru suggested in Suguru’s ear with heated urgency.

“What? Here?” Suguru’s eyes grew wide.

“Well, I was thinking more like on the bed,” Satoru laughed.

Suguru frowned and glimpsed behind him, catching Satoru’s face from the corner of his eye. “No, I mean we’re on a mission, Satoru.” He grew serious, cheeks flushing as he added, “And we’ve never even-”

“Please?” Satoru cut him off, and the dreamy, lustful, love-stricken look he gave Suguru could’ve killed. “It’s been such a perfect day...” His hand gripped tighter, moving faster. His eyebrows pinched together, the tip of his tongue tracing his bottom lip, as he pleaded softly, “I wanna end it with you inside me. Please, I want it so bad, Suguru.”

Suguru was no good.

He shuddered as he came suddenly, silently, over Satoru’s fingers, hunching over and pressing his forehead against the tile wall. “You can’t just say stuff like that…” he muttered, hiding his bright red face.

Satoru smiled smugly from ear to ear. “I’m gonna take that as a yes,” he said with an airy laugh and released his grip on Suguru. He stepped under the showerhead and washed himself off, but not before giving Suguru’s ass a wet slap first.

“Shut up,” Suguru hissed, pushing himself into the water against Satoru. He started washing himself as best as he could in the small space. “Honestly, even if we do end up fucking you’d probably wake the whole house, Satoru. You’re so fucking loud.”

“Oh fuck off, I can be quiet when I need to be.” Satoru rolled his eyes, adding merely a second later, “Maybe a curse could help?”

“Maybe. Or maybe I’ll just gag you.”

Satoru gulped, eyes widening, a little frightened and a lot aroused.

Suguru smirked, glancing Satoru up and down as he said, “No, we’ll have to save that for when you misbehave, Satoru.”

They tumbled into bed together, both smelling like lavender shampoo. Suguru summoned blobby, sticky curses to block the gaps in the door frame, per Satoru’s request.

“Do we even have-?” Suguru asked, hesitantly, as he loomed above Satoru, naked and slightly damp from their shower.

“Uh, yeah, duh. I’m not an idiot,” Satoru interrupted and hung upside-down off the bed to rummage through his bag. He chucked a small bottle of clear lube at Suguru, then returned his head to the pile of pillows with a comfortable sigh.

Suguru caught it, palming his forehead as he muttered, “You really bet on this happening, didn’t you?” He chuckled as he leaned down, giving Satoru a gentle kiss. “I sure hope you don’t regret seducing me.”

Satoru hummed into the kiss, cupping Suguru’s face. “Why would I ever regret seducing you?”

“I just… I don’t want it to hurt too much,” Suguru murmured sheepishly with a grimace.

“Humble brag much?” Satoru teased with raised eyebrows.

Suguru remained unamused. “I’m being serious, Satoru.”

“Oh please, I can take a little pain,” Satoru rolled his eyes and kissed him again, still holding his face firmly. “It’ll be fine. I trust you.”

Suguru genuinely beamed when he heard this, which made Satoru’s heart leap in his chest. He leaned down to bury his face in the crook of the Satoru’s neck, eliciting a ticklish giggle. He nibbled and sucked on this spot, marking him with a satisfying blemish.

“Hey! Did you just leave a mark?!” He complained despite craning his neck into Suguru’s touches. “All my casual shirts have a low neckline, Suguru! So much for being subtle…”

“Oh. Sorry,” Suguru replied, remorselessly, and pressed an apologetic kiss on the bruise. Satoru moaned softly in response, enjoying how tender and sharp the spot felt. Suguru continued, “Now whenever we go out, everyone’s gonna know you’re mine.” His gaze was intensely heated when he lifted his head to look into Satoru’s eyes.

Suguru never felt so possessive about anyone or anything else in the world.

Satoru caught a breath in his throat, eyes widening and glowing, face flushing wildly. He grabbed the back of Suguru’s head and pulled him in for an open-mouth kiss, sloppy and manic and wonderfully raw. He pulled back just enough to whisper, “Say it again.”

“You’re mine, Satoru.”

It felt so good to say. Suguru could’ve repeated himself all night.

Satoru moaned into another kiss. Those words echoing in his head over and over made him feel warm and tingly all over, fireworks popping off in his brain. For the first time in his life, he was owned by someone… and he loved it. It was home. He wanted the entire world to know that he was Suguru’s.

Satoru was so achingly hard by the time he pulled away and breathed, “God, I want you so bad right now. Hurry up and take me, Suguru.”

Suguru smiled mischievously, fingers dragging along Satoru’s chest and stomach, stopping just before they reached where Satoru wanted to be touched most. He then nudged Satoru’s legs open. “No need to be impatient,” he murmured as he leaned down to kiss the inside of Satoru’s thigh, “I plan on savoring this. It’s not every day I get to take Satoru Gojo’s innocence.”

Satoru laughed smugly, tucking his hands behind his head. “You should be so honored to deflower ‘the honored one’.”

Suguru smirked with a small chuckle, kissing up Satoru’s thigh and lingering near his erection, causing him to shudder. “How arrogant considering you were just begging for my cock a minute ago,” he said airily, letting hot breaths fall against Satoru’s arousal. He kissed it once, then licked a stripe up his length.

Satoru stifled a moan as he replied, stately, “Satoru Gojo doesn’t beg for anything.”

“You sure about that?” Suguru asked warningly, his gaze darkening with sinister intensity and lust. He suddenly grabbed Satoru by the hips, lifting him up to his face.

“Wha-What are you…?”

Thumbs spreading his cheeks, Suguru’s tongue swiped against Satoru’s entrance playfully.

Satoru gasped sharply, mouth hanging open incredulously as he was lifted halfway off the mattress. “Suguru! You animal!” He exclaimed, covering his beet-red face with his hands and peeking through his fingers. “Not there, that’s-” He groaned loudly as he felt a hot, wet tongue violating him, his long legs dangling from Suguru’s shoulders as he melted into the sensation. It felt so filthy and delicious having Suguru’s mouth on him like this. He was starting to lose control.

“Quiet, Satoru, or we’ll have to stop,” Suguru paused to chide him with a serious tone.

Satoru threw an arm across his mouth. “Don’t stop, please don’t stop.” His voice was a muffled whine.

Suguru laughed quietly and continued to tongue him, prodding and plunging, until Satoru was a puddle in his arms. He set him down gently on the mattress, grabbing the bottle of lube and coating his fingers. Suguru locked eyes with Satoru, a silent confirmation to continue.

Satoru nodded, his chest heaving. He groaned into his forearm as he felt two fingers slowly slip in. He crinkled his nose, forcing a few shaky breaths to relax.

Suguru pushed inside up to his knuckles, curling, stretching, searching. They’d tried this a few times since dating and, between the two of them, Satoru preferred it a little more. “You’ve been so good today, Satoru…” he praised sweetly, raking his fingertips against Satoru’s insides. “I guess I can spoil you a little.”

Satoru arched off the bed as Suguru grazed a sensitive area, quickly grabbing a pillow from behind him, screaming and moaning into it. “Oh god, yes, there!” (Is what Suguru could make out, at least.)

Suguru chuckled to himself, smirking. “Where? Here?” he asked, tauntingly, as he added another finger and pressed a little harder into that same spot.

Satoru cried out gutturally, his legs scrambling underneath him to angle and rub against Suguru’s fingers. He clutched the pillow so tightly that he strained to breathe through the down feathers. His neglected arousal leaked against his tight, clenching stomach. The burning stretch of Suguru’s fingers faded into the background as pleasure took over, and instantly, he had the intense urge to be filled. He pulled the pillow away momentarily, grabbing Suguru’s free arm with a weak grip. Satoru looked borderline pornographic, hair mussed, face flushing bright pink, lips moist and parted, as he peered up at Suguru through thick, white lashes.

“Fuck me, Suguru,” he whispered with bated breath.

Suguru pushed his damp hair away from his face, grinning heatedly with a deep flush on his cheeks. Pulling his fingers out slowly, he grabbed the lube and poured nearly all of the small bottle into his hand. He slicked his length, stroking a few times until it was firm. He pressed the tip against Satoru, his dark eyes studying the man’s face. Satoru gazed at him expectantly as Suguru pushed in slowly, large hands caressing the back of Satoru’s knees and spreading them wider to fit himself between. “Oh my god, you’re tight,” he hissed. “Tell me if you need to stop, okay? Fuck, Satoru, it’s so good.” It felt euphoric being swallowed up like this, Satoru squeezing him so tightly it almost hurt.

Satoru screwed his eyes shut, biting back a groan as he writhed against the searing heat of the intrusion. It felt impossible, overwhelmingly so, as Suguru thrusted all the way in, and yet, it also felt so right being in this vulnerable position with the person he trusted most in the world. He gripped at the sheets, a hand reaching for Suguru’s shoulder. It slid to the back of his head, taking a fistful of soft, dark hair and pulling Suguru down to him. Satoru kissed him deeply, needily.

Suguru strained against Satoru’s hold. “Wait, stop,” he protested into his lips, “I just-”

Satoru huffed, “Do you really think I give a fuck right now?!” He pulled him into another open-mouth kiss and Suguru conceded, caught up in the moment. His legs quivered against Suguru’s hips as the angle shifted with the man’s weight on him. He hooked his legs weakly around Suguru, bracing himself.

Suguru’s patience was being tested every second he remained motionless, and yet he clung to his determination to make this as painless as possible for Satoru. “Can I move a little?” Suguru broke away to ask, a bit of saliva trailing from his bottom lip. Satoru nodded in response, his grip on Suguru’s hair tightening. He gently rocked his hips into Satoru as he kissed him again. Satoru moaned into his mouth as he slowly relaxed, meeting Suguru’s motions, seeking friction on his untouched arousal. Suguru took the hint, snaking a hand between them and stroking.

Satoru inhaled sharply, urging Suguru to continue, “Keep going, I can take it.”

“Yeah?” Suguru checked in, forehead against forehead, his hair curtaining their faces and tickling Satoru’s cheeks.

“Yeah.” Satoru breathed in response, tucking some hair behind Suguru’s ear, gazing at him with a lovesick ache in his chest. He cupped his face with both hands, groaning as he felt him pulling out.

Suguru moved with an extreme amount of restraint, panting each time they rolled their hips together. He adjusted frequently, doing his best to read Satoru’s body with each movement. He pulled Satoru higher onto his lap and earned a delicious moan that he felt in his cock. Suguru smiled. “Like that?” he asked huskily, nipping at his bottom lip.

Satoru shuddered as Suguru pressed in the same way. “God, yes, more,” he whined, wrapping his arms around Suguru’s neck and grabbing at his back.

Suguru complied, happily, finally, losing himself in Satoru’s body, fucking him in the most primal, unceremonious way he’d only fantasized about until now. Satoru grew louder, too loud, unraveling in Suguru’s arms. His grip tightened, he drew him in closely until their bodies were sliding against each other. Sweat dripping from his temple, Suguru grabbed one of Satoru’s legs and hooked it over his shoulder, testing the limits of Satoru’s flexibility as he pressed in even deeper. (He was alarmingly flexible.)

“Ah, Suguru-!” Satoru screamed from his throat. Suguru’s hand pressed against his mouth quickly to muffle him. Satoru’s curious tongue flicked his palm.

Seeing, feeling, and hearing Satoru Gojo coming undone underneath him made Suguru feel absolutely feral. He replaced his palm over Satoru’s lips with two fingers, jamming them into his mouth. “Suck,” he commanded and snapped his hips into Satoru with a brutal thrust. “Keep your mouth busy like a good boy.”

Eyes widening, Satoru did as he was told, licking, sucking, and moaning against Suguru’s fingers. He took him deep into his throat until tears prickled his eyes. He was already so close to release, holding on for as long as he could, but everything was so intense, so overstimulating, so euphoric. He raked his nails into Suguru’s back.

And then Suguru slammed so perfectly into Satoru’s prostate, sending him straight over the edge. He cried around Suguru’s fingers, arched his back off the bed, and released against both of them, convulsing and squeezing around Suguru as he did. Suguru followed closely behind, taking his damp fingers back, trying to pull out entirely but Satoru only sucked him in deeper.

“Should I take it out?” He asked quickly, through labored breaths.

“Nuh-uh,” was all Satoru managed to coherently mumble in his post-orgasmic haze, his long leg weaving into Suguru’s so he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

Suguru came with one last, deep thrust with a throaty groan, spilling into Satoru’s lithe frame with quaking thighs. He collapsed against Satoru, their bodies melting together in an exhausted, sticky, and wonderful heap. He pulled out, rolling to Satoru’s side and resting his head on his chest.

“Dang,” Satoru panted, “You’re kinda crazy.”

“Yeah,” an equally breathless response, “Sorry.”

“No sorry,” Satoru reassured, petting Suguru’s head weakly. “I love it.”

Suguru chuckled quietly. “Good.”

Suguru woke to the smell of coffee as Satoru stepped into the room, adorned in sweats and an oversized t-shirt. He blinked a few times, dazed, his eyes adjusting to the early morning sunshine peeking through the window.

“Hey.” He rolled over to gaze sleepily at Satoru, a lazy grin on his face.

“Hey,” Satoru echoed, smiling and sitting next to him on the mattress. He offered a sip of his drink to Suguru.

Suguru hummed as he took it, but winced as he tasted it. “So sweet,” he commented, sticking his tongue out and returning it quickly.

Satoru shrugged and gulped it down.

Suguru sat up and stretched his arms over his head. “Feeling okay?” he checked in, blushing slightly as memories of last night flooded his brain.

“Yeah. I mean, I’m a little sore,” Satoru pouted, touching his lower back gently. “But it’s a good sore. ” He reassured, grinning from ear to ear.

Suguru pinched his eyebrows together, concerned. He leaned in to kiss him on the cheek, murmuring apologetically, “I’m so sorry.”

“No, really, I’m good. I’ve felt worse after sparring.” He smirked, his fingers grazed Suguru’s cheek as he leaned into the gentle touch. He turned his head to kiss him on the lips. “I just need a hot shower and I’ll be set.”

Suguru nodded, shoving his anxiety down for the time being. He heard someone shuffling around in the kitchen. “Breakfast first, though.” He grabbed his elastic off the table and pulled his hair into a loose bun.

Satoru hummed in agreement, clutching the warm mug to his chest.

Kuroi prepared breakfast with Suguru’s help, eyes cast down the entire time. She was very apparently avoiding the both of them, only speaking to Suguru in quick, polite requests when he aided in chopping. Suguru and Satoru had a silent conversation across the kitchen island, giving each other tense, amused looks.

Riko was oblivious to this, however, as she gulped down her miso happily.

“Gojo,” she started, poking at his neck innocently. “What’s this mark? Did you get hurt or something?”

Kuroi remained silent at the stove, stirring the eggs faster, a deep flush spreading across her face.

Satoru, mid-sip, slapped a hand across the blemish, locking eyes with Suguru momentarily in a panic. “Ah, yeah, just… scratched myself in my sleep,” he dismissed quickly with an airy laugh.

Riko shrugged, “Weird.”

They finished breakfast in mildly uncomfortable silence.

Needless to say, it was an awkward flight home.

It was so stupid humid and hot today. I was not thrilled. I tried my best to stay cool but the office never cooled down. And it made me very very uncomfortable. All I wanted was to leave i was so uncomfortable. But I stayed and did a lot of stuff. It was nice to accomplish things.

I did not sleep well though. I was up ever other hour. My brain wouldn't turn off. I had fallen asleep at like 930 and would wake up at 130, 330, and 530. So I let myself stay in bed until 730. I wasn't in a rush to get to camp.

James was laying on the floor when I got up. We hugged for a minute. James told me today would be good but I wasn't so sure. I wasn't in the best place.

But it would be a pretty good day overall. I got dressed and I thought I would be cool enough in my fashion sack dress but I would end up very hot. It was frustrating.

James made me cinnamon bread with the loaf they baked yesterday that came out very nice. They were going to go bike to the harbor and kayak for a little before coming home and getting washed before working evening hours tonight. I was glad they were going to have fun.

I drove to camp. I listened to music. When I got to camp I went immediately to Yukon to work on folding all the blankets and sheets. So many!! It would take about an hour to sort and fold and put everything away. I couldn't fit all the pillows we were keeping but I would put the last of them in a trash bag and would let the office know we needed another box.

I went to the office and was going to get to work on painting but then I couldn't open the door?? My key didn't open the door. I thought the handle was locked. But Heather and Elizabeth said that wasn't possible, that we didn't have a key for that. So I would just wait outside until someone else came in.

I would take apart my water bottle lid to wipe it down. And while I was sitting there a parent came by to pick up some lost and found items. She wished me luck getting into the building.

When Elizabeth got here it turned out the door was just jammed. The lock had only half unlocked and she was able to get it open. I felt a little dumb but it's fine.

I got my stuff inside. Found the rest of my feild trip materials has been delivered. Excellent. And I would let Elizabeth know I was going to go check about paint at the museum to paint the bathroom doors.

But when I got over there Bonnie was cleaning. And she asked if I could please come back at 1130. So I had almost two hours to waste.

I was very anxious about calling the park to talk to Kirk about the stone axes. But I would suck it up and call. And of course my phone kept dropping the call. So I had to call again!! On the landline!!! Terrifying.

But you would be very proud. I spoke clearly. I got the right person on the phone. I communicated the need and was able to coordinate him sending a ranger to camp tomorrow to pick up the box with the axe handles and stones to assess. And I left the conversation feeling really good about it! Even if calling makes me so anxious. The actual phone calls are always fine. It's the actual calling I hate.

It was just about time for me to go and paint. I drove up to art to drop off my field trip stuff. And got a paint brush. And drove to the lodge.

Bonnie was done cleaning and the floor was dry so I got to work. The paint is like a silicone and peels super easy once it's scratched. And the kids had peeled two layers of paint off. So it was pretty bad looking. I would try and build up the paint thick so the shape of the peeling/tearing doesn't show still. I think we may still need a second coat. But it was fun to paint.

I was using a stupidly small brush. Like a 2 inch little guy. But I think I did a good job. Only dripped on the floor a bit and cleaned it up right away.

While I waited for it to dry a bit I would text with my dad. Who is on the mend I think. It was nice to chat with him. I miss him dearly. And I hope we can drive up this labor day just to see them for a little bit.

The afternoon was a little harder for me. By 130 I ran out of my computer tasks. And the office was so hot. Lou brought in peach cake and I wanted to eat it so bad. Alexi would convince me to try a small piece and I would pull it apart and eat it in small pieces and it was really nice.

Eventually I asked for something to do please. I started to look into our vendor list to start making a preferred/recommend list. And eventually would stop that to work on collecting addresses and writing out letters to our counselors of the session and write out others for international staff's pay cards that came in late. It was fun to have a specific task and I had to do some research into writing addresses for Hungry and Turkey. And I finished right around 3.

And it was time for me to go. I was hot. And ready to go. So I said goodbye. And I'll be back next week. Wednesday actually. I have a lot of stuff going on the next week.

I decided I wanted to go to whole foods. I wanted pasta salad. And juice.

I would treat myself. I got three kinds of pasta salad. A mozzarella penne, a tortilla, and an orzo. I would also get a slice of pizza. And a strawberry apple juice. A sweet bread. And some yogurt. And some fall scented soaps. I was having a great time.

I ate my pizza in the car. The first half of it was so good. But then the second half felt to greasy and I felt sick again. Which made us mad. But I sipped my water and just focused on going home.

I listened to my podcast about weird little guys. And when I got home I made sure I parked on the right side of the street so I don't need to stress in the morning since I don't have to leave until 930.

I got inside and was happy to see Sweetp. I decided to take a shower first. Washed my hair. Scrub scrub scrub. It wasn't a cure all but it helped.

I would put away my groceries. Made a little bowl with all three pasta salads. The penne one is great. A classic. The tortellini is also very good. Probably my favorite but needed less olives and more feta. The orzo would be good but I don't like the texture of the pine nuts. They texturally felt like undercooked pasta. But the flavor was nice.

Between that and the juice it helped me feel better. And I've been hanging out in bed. Watching videos. Reading. Enjoying my evening. Texting with James. I hope they are having fun. It's apparently a very busy night and it's nice to hear that it's such a successful event. Love that.

Now though I am just going to chill. I am tired after not sleeping amazing last night. But hopefully tonight will be better.

Tomorrow I have a meeting at the flag house about a commission. Pretty excited about that. I hope it's a good day. I hope you all have a good day. I love you all. Goodnight!

Phang Nga Bay Kayaking Adventures: Exploring Its Sea Caves and Lagoons

A trip to Phang Nga Bay is a feast for the eyes, with its towering limestone cliffs and stunning emerald-green waters. Nestled between mainland Thailand and Phuket, this breathtaking bay is a must-visit for travelers.

And what better way to experience its beauty than by kayaking? If you're considering a kayaking adventure in Phang Nga Bay, this guide is for you. We'll share essential tips to make the most of your experience and help you decide whether to explore on your own or join a guided tour.

A] What Makes Phang Nga Bay a Dream Destination?

If you ask anyone what’s unmissable in Phuket, Phang Nga Bay will almost always be at the top of the list. But what exactly makes this place a dream destination for travelers, nature lovers, and adventure seekers? Let’s dive in.

1.) One of the bay’s most breathtaking features is its towering limestone cliffs and karsts, which rise dramatically from the emerald-green waters. These stunning formations, shaped over millions of years by natural erosion and tectonic shifts, are truly a sight to behold. Exploring them by kayak lets you get up close, giving you a real sense of their sheer size and beauty.

2.) Beyond its striking landscapes, Phang Nga Bay is teeming with marine life. Its crystal-clear waters are home to colorful fish, sea turtles, and a thriving underwater ecosystem. One of the best ways to experience this natural wonder is by gliding through the bay on a kayak or canoe.

3.) Adding to the bay’s charm are the lush mangrove forests that line the shoreline. Paddling through these winding waterways offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, observe local wildlife, and gain a deeper appreciation for the importance of protecting these fragile ecosystems.Whether you're after breathtaking scenery, wildlife encounters, or a peaceful escape, Phang Nga Bay has it all.

B] Tips to Prepare for Your Kayaking Adventure

Before you set out on your kayaking adventure in Phang Nga Bay, here are some key things to consider to make the most of your experience:

Pick the Right Kayak

Choosing the right kayak is essential and should depend on your skill level and the duration of your trip. You’ll also need to decide between a single or tandem kayak based on whether you're paddling solo or with a partner. For beginners, a stable sit-on-top kayak is the best choice, while experienced kayakers might prefer a sleeker, more agile option.

Bring the Right Gear

Having the right gear can make your trip safer and more comfortable. A lifejacket is a must, along with a whistle, dry bag, sun protection, a change of clothes, and water shoes. Don't forget to pack plenty of water and some snacks to stay hydrated and energized while exploring the bay.

Master Basic Paddling Techniques

Good paddling technique is key to a smooth and enjoyable ride. Keep a relaxed grip on the paddle, engage your core muscles, and maintain a steady rhythm. Once you get the hang of it, hop in your kayak, stay aware of your surroundings, and navigate the waters safely. With the right preparation, you’ll be all set for an unforgettable kayaking adventure in Phang Nga Bay!

C] Guided Tours versus Independent Journey: Which to Choose?

Before setting out on your kayaking adventure, one of the biggest decisions you'll need to make is whether to go on a guided tour or explore Phang Nga Bay on your own.

1.) If you're a solo traveler who enjoys the freedom of charting your own course, careful planning is essential. Be sure to research your route, consider tides, currents, and weather conditions, and bring all the necessary safety gear, including a GPS device.

2.) On the other hand, if you're new to kayaking or visiting Phuket for the first time, a guided tour is the best way to go. Booking a private boat charter allows you to explore Phang Nga Bay with experienced local guides who offer insights into the area's history and natural wonders. These tours typically provide all the essential gear, safety equipment, and even paddling assistance to make your trip smooth and enjoyable.

At Simba Sea Trips, we offer private boat trip Phuket to some of the region’s most famous destinations, including Phang Nga Bay. Our luxury guided tours, such as motor yacht private charters, give you the freedom and flexibility to explore at your own pace while ensuring a stress-free experience.

No matter which option you choose, be sure to book your tour in advance and come prepared with the right kayak, gear, and equipment. That way, you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Phang Nga Bay; paddling through sea caves, exploring hidden lagoons, and creating unforgettable memories.

Kayak Fishing Safety Smart Tips for a Secure Trip

Kayak fishing is one of the most exciting ways of getting in touch with nature and reaching prime fishing locations that would otherwise be inaccessible. But safety should always come first. Precautions taken in advance can save an accident from occurring and allow everyone to enjoy the experience. Below are the Top Safety Tips for kayak fishing that will keep you safe on water.

1. Always Wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD)

One critical Top Safety Tips for Kayak Fishing is to wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFD at all times in kayak fishing. Good swimmers can still get into trouble if they capsize suddenly or find themselves in strong current or bad weather. A kayak-specific PFD should be chosen for comfort and mobility, so safety does not inhibit freedom of movement.

2. Check Weather and Water Conditions

Before heading out, always check the weather forecast and water conditions. Wind, storms, and rough waters can make kayak fishing extremely hazardous. If the forecast predicts poor conditions, it’s best to reschedule. Understanding local tides and currents is equally important, as they can affect your ability to paddle safely back to shore.

3. Choose a Stable and Suitable Kayak

Selecting the right kayak for fishing can significantly enhance safety. Fishing kayaks are designed with wider hulls to provide better stability, reducing the risk of tipping over. If you’re new to kayak fishing, a sit-on-top kayak is an excellent choice, as it allows for easier re-entry in case of capsizing. Before venturing into deep waters, practice paddling and maneuvering your kayak in a controlled environment.

4. Carry Essential Safety Gear

Having the right safety equipment can mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and a life-threatening situation. Always bring:

A whistle or sound-signaling device

A first-aid kit

A bilge pump or sponge to remove excess water

A knife or multitool

An extra paddle

A waterproof flashlight or headlamp

A compass or GPS device

Emergency food and water supplies

Being prepared for emergencies ensures a safer and more enjoyable fishing trip.

5. Learn and Practice Self-Rescue Techniques

Even seasoned kayak anglers may capsize at some point. Learning self-rescue techniques, such as re-entering your kayak from the water, is essential. Practicing these skills in a controlled environment will increase your confidence and preparedness. Consider taking a kayak safety course to improve your techniques and gain valuable insights.

6. Dress for the Water Temperature

Dressing appropriately for the water temperature is crucial, especially in colder conditions. Even on warm days, the water can be cold enough to cause hypothermia. Wear moisture-wicking clothing, a wetsuit, or a drysuit, depending on the season. Additionally, bring an extra set of dry clothes in a waterproof bag for emergencies.

7. Increase Your Visibility

Kayaks are small and sit low in the water, making them difficult for larger boats to see. To improve your visibility:

Wear bright-colored clothing

Attach a safety flag to your kayak

Use reflective tape on your gear

Carry navigation lights if fishing in low-light conditions

Avoid high-traffic boating areas when possible

Taking these precautions helps reduce the risk of collisions and enhances overall safety.

8. Keep a Communication Device Handy

Always carry a waterproof VHF radio or a fully charged mobile phone in a dry bag. Inform someone of your fishing plans, expected return time, and location before setting out. In case of an emergency, having a reliable means of communication can be life-saving.

9. Secure Your Fishing Gear

Kayak fishing requires proper gear management to prevent loss and distractions. Use leashes and bungee cords to secure rods, paddles, and other essential equipment. Waterproof storage containers or floating gear attachments can also help protect valuable items from water damage.

10. Know Your Limits and Stay Within Your Comfort Zone

Kayak fishing is an adventurous activity, but it’s important to recognize your skill level and avoid unnecessary risks. Beginners should stick to calm, familiar waters and gradually expand their experience before attempting challenging fishing locations. Fishing with a buddy or in a group is always a safer option.

Bonus Tip: Plan Your Route and Identify Exit Points

Before launching, plan your route and identify potential exit points along the shoreline. Familiarizing yourself with your surroundings helps in making quick decisions in case of an emergency. Using a GPS or marking key locations on a map can also improve navigation in unfamiliar waters.

Conclusion

Plan your route and mark any shoreline exit points that may be preferred before you leave the shore. Familiarity with your surroundings can help in making swift decisions in case of emergencies. Also, utilizing a GPS or marking prominent spots on a map can greatly improve navigation in unfamiliar waters.

Kayak fishing is incredible, fusing a wholesome thrill with the beauty of calm waters. But safety should always be on your agenda. These top safety tips for kayak fishing reduce risks so that you get to enjoy your actual adventure. Having a PFD, being aware of weather updates, having basic safety gear, and practicing self-rescue techniques achieve their most validity during a safe and enjoyable trip. Furthermore, visibility, security of gear, and recognition of limits contribute heavily towards personal safety. With the right measures, you can embrace the glory of kayak fishing.

Stay Adventurous with Malo'o's Dry Bag Duffel

Gear that gets wet is the last thing you want to think about when you're going outside or planning your next water-based adventure. However, reliable gear safety is essential whether you're hiking in quickly changing weather, kayaking along rough coastlines, or going on a multi-day camping trip. That's where the dry bag duffel comes in handy. This bag is a cross between a waterproof dry bag and a functional tote bag. It's made to be your best friend and keep your stuff dry, organized, and safe no matter where life takes you.

Malo'o takes the idea of waterproof gear to a whole new level. They have years of experience making gear for explorers and people who like to be outside. Let's look at why Malo'o's waterproof duffel bag is a must-have for adventure tourists and people who love the outdoors.

The Need for Reliable Gear Protection

Imagine getting where you're going only to find that water has ruined your clothes, electronics, or valuables. Even though outdoor trips are fun, they can be difficult in unexpected ways. River crossings might be more profound than you thought, rain showers may happen unexpectedly, and even rough hikes can spray water on your gear.

This is where a dry bag duffel comes in handy. Its strong waterproofing, innovative organization, and easy portability give you the utmost peace of mind so you can enjoy the journey without worrying about your belongings.

Introducing Malo'o's Dry Bag Duffel

The Malo'o dry bag duffel is an excellent piece of gear for outdoor lovers. The brand is known for making rugged and reliable gear. This gear is made to meet the wants of people who like to go on adventures. It is long-lasting, helpful, and flexible.

Malo'o's waterproof duffel bag will accompany you everywhere, whether you're surfing the Pacific, hiking through lush forests, or going on a multi-day kayaking trip.

Key Features and Benefits of Malo'o's Dry Bag Duffel

Malo'o's dry bag duffel is different from the rest because:

1. Superior Waterproofing

The Malo'o bag is made from industrial-grade, eco-friendly PVC tarpaulin. The seams are RF-welded to ensure complete waterproofing. Your gear will stay safe and dry even if it rains heavily or if you accidentally fall into the water.

2. Easy Access and Organization

This duffle bag is adventure-ready and easy to use. Its waterproof tops roll down, and a strong buckle seals them off. Inside, well-thought-out compartments organize electronics, clothes, and other items.

3. Comfortable to Carry

With its plush shoulder straps and grab handles, this bag is easy to carry for long distances. The straps can be adjusted to fit your needs, whether you're going to your campsite or carrying all your stuff along the pier.

4. Durability for All Terrains

The tough outside of the bag protects it from scratches, dents, and general wear and tear so that it can be used in rough circumstances. The bag is made to last, whether you're carrying it up rocky mountain roads or putting it on a deck.

5. Air Vent for Compression

One thing that makes Malo'o bags stand out is their air-vent system, which lets you pack your bag down for easier travel. You can save a lot of room in your car or backpack with this.

Versatility in Use Cases

The Malo'o waterproof duffel bag isn't meant to be used for trips that involve water. Because it's so flexible, it can be used for many things, such as

Watersports: If you're surfing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, keep your extra clothes and food dry while you're on the water.

Camping and Hiking: When you go camping or hiking, keep your sleeping bag, clothes, and other important things out of the way of rain and spills.

Motorcycling: Its rugged design makes it a reliable travel partner for a road trip. It is durable and waterproof while you're on the go.

Commutes or Gym Trips: It's great for everyday use because it can do two things.

Why Malo'o's Dry Bag Duffel is the Best Choice

The Malo'o dry bag duffel is perfect for trips to the beach, camping out under the stars, or going down a rainy highway because it is waterproof, durable, and well-designed. It is far and away the best waterproof duffel bag on the market. It comes in many sizes, has many features, and is well-built.

Top Safety Tips for Kayak Fishing

Kayak fishing is an exciting sport that also allows the exploration of waters and catching some really great fish. But the same, as with any outdoor activity, such enjoyment does have serious safety concerns. Be it an expert angler or a novice in paddling, with some safety tips, fishing becomes a thrilling experience where safety accompanies fun. Here are the top safety tips for kayak fishing to keep in mind for every enthusiast.

1. Wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD)

A well-fitted PFD is a must when you're out on the water. It keeps you afloat in case of an accidental capsize and can save your life in emergencies. Choose a PFD designed specifically for kayak fishing, which offers comfort and mobility without restricting movement.

2. Check the Weather Before Heading Out

Weather conditions can change rapidly, affecting your safety. Before you launch your kayak, check the forecast for wind speeds, storms, and tides. Avoid fishing in rough waters, strong currents, or unpredictable weather.

3. Use a Stable Kayak and Proper Gear

Stability is crucial when selecting a fishing kayak. Wider kayaks provide better balance, reducing the risk of tipping over. Additionally, ensure your fishing gear is secured properly to avoid losing equipment in case of sudden movements.

4. Practice Re-Entry Techniques

Even the most experienced kayakers can capsize. Practicing how to get back into your kayak is one of the Top Safety Tips for Kayak Fishing. Learn self-rescue techniques in calm waters before venturing into deeper areas.

5. Carry a Communication Device

A waterproof phone case, a VHF radio, or a whistle can be life-saving tools. If you’re fishing far from shore, ensure you have a way to contact someone in case of an emergency. A GPS device can also be beneficial for navigation.

6. Pack Essential Safety Gear

Always have the necessary safety gear, including a first-aid kit, flashlight, and extra paddle. A bilge pump or sponge can help remove water from your kayak, and a dry bag will keep your valuables safe.

7. Let Someone Know Your Plan

Inform a friend or family member about your fishing location, expected return time, and emergency contacts. This simple step can be crucial in case you don’t return on time.

8. Stay Hydrated and Protect Yourself from the Sun

Spending hours on the water can lead to dehydration and sunburn. Carry plenty of water, wear sun-protective clothing, and apply sunscreen to prevent UV damage.

9. Be Aware of Surroundings and Other Boaters

Keep an eye out for other boats, obstacles, and wildlife. Some areas have strong currents, underwater hazards, or motorized boats that may not see your kayak. Stay visible with bright clothing or a flag and use a headlamp if fishing at dawn or dusk.

10. Avoid Overloading Your Kayak

Every kayak has a weight limit, and exceeding it can make your kayak unstable. Factor in your body weight, fishing gear, and supplies to ensure you stay within the recommended capacity.

Conclusion

By following these Top Safety Tips for Kayak Fishing, you can enjoy a smooth and safe fishing adventure. Prioritizing safety ensures you have a great experience while minimizing risks on the water. Whether you're paddling in calm lakes or tackling ocean waves, always be prepared, stay cautious, and enjoy the thrill of kayak fishing.

AquaGuard Your Essentials: Choosing Casual Dry Bags Online for Beach & Pool

The allure of a sun-drenched beach or a sparkling poolside is undeniable – moments designed for relaxation, fun, and escape. You’ve packed the essentials: sunscreen, a captivating book, your phone for photos or music, keys, wallet. But amidst the bliss, a nagging concern often surfaces: how to protect these valuables from the trifecta of waterside hazards – splashes, sand, and spills? Disaster is certain if you leave your wallet exposed on a lounger or tuck your phone into a sandy towel. This is where the brilliance of the dry bag shines, extending far beyond the realm of extreme adventurers. For everyday excursions near water, the right dry bag offers invaluable security and peace of mind, and navigating the vast selection to find your perfect match is incredibly easy thanks to online shopping.

Why invest in a dedicated dry bag for seemingly low-risk activities like sunbathing or a casual dip? Because our daily essentials – smartphones, earbuds, car key fobs, e-readers – are increasingly sensitive and expensive. A reliable dry bag acts as a personal vault against moisture and grit, preventing costly damage and inconvenience. When you search online for the Best Dry Bags, you unlock a spectrum of options tailored not just for hardcore expeditions but specifically for casual needs. Online platforms allow you to filter by size, color, and features, compare materials and closure systems side-by-side, and crucially, read detailed reviews from users who've tested these bags in similar beach or pool environments. This wealth of accessible information empowers you to choose confidently, ensuring your chosen bag effectively shields your belongings while complementing your relaxed waterside style.

Decoding Online Listings: Key Features for Casual Use

When browsing dry bags online for beach days, pool lounging, or light travel near water, focus on features that deliver practical protection and convenience without unnecessary expedition-level overkill:

Right-Sized Capacity: Bigger isn't always better for casual use. Think realistically about what you need to protect.

Small (2L-5L): Ideal for the bare minimum – phone, wallet, keys, perhaps sunglasses or lip balm. Compact enough to toss into a larger tote or carry easily on its own.

Medium (10L-20L): Often the most versatile size. Usually holds the necessities plus a book, a water bottle, a change of clothes, and a small towel. Still manageable to carry. Check online descriptions for visual examples or capacity comparisons (e.g., "fits two standard towels").

Large (30L+): Generally overkill for solo casual use unless you're packing for a family or carrying bulkier items like multiple large towels or snorkeling gear. Can become unwieldy.

Durable & Easy-to-Clean Material: While you might not need fabric tough enough to withstand rocky rapids, you do want something robust and practical. Look for materials described online as:

PVC Tarpaulin: Highly waterproof, very durable, and importantly, very easy to wipe clean of sand and sunscreen residue. Can feel slightly stiff, especially in cooler temperatures.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane): Offers excellent waterproofness and durability, often lighter and more flexible than PVC. Generally considered a more environmentally friendly plastic.

Coated Woven Fabrics (PU or TPU-Coated Nylon/Polyester): Can be very lightweight and foldable. Ensure online specs confirm waterproof capabilities (often via seam sealing details) rather than just water-resistance. Check reviews for real-world waterproof performance.

Effective Closure: The standard roll-top closure is proven and effective for creating a watertight seal. Look for details online like:

Recommended Rolls: Product descriptions or instructions usually suggest 3-4 tight rolls for optimal sealing.

Secure Buckle: A sturdy side-release buckle holds the rolled top firmly in place. Reviews may discuss the simplicity of use and quality of the buckle.

Carrying Comfort: How will you transport the bag from the car or hotel to the water's edge?

Single Shoulder Strap: Common on most sizes up to 20L-30L. Ideal for short distances. Look for adjustability and whether it's detachable (usually mentioned in online specs).

Backpack Straps: Found on dedicated dry bag backpacks or larger roll-top bags. Far more comfortable for carrying heavier loads or walking further. Check online descriptions for padding or ergonomic features if comfort is a priority.

Simple Grab Handle: Always useful for quickly picking up the bag.

Convenient Extras (As Advertised Online):

External Pockets: Useful for items needing quick access (keys, lip balm) but typically only splash-proof, not fully waterproof. Online listings should clarify this distinction.

Internal Pockets: Help organize smaller valuables within the main waterproof compartment.

Visibility: Bright colors (yellow, orange, blue) make your bag easy to spot amongst other gear or if it drifts slightly in the water. Online stores offer a huge color palette.

Beyond the Cylinder: Exploring Styles Online

While the classic cylindrical roll-top bag is the icon, online exploration reveals other functional and stylish options suitable for casual protection:

Standard Roll-Top Dry Bags: The versatile workhorse. Available online in countless sizes, colors, and material weights. Simple, effective, and reliable when sealed correctly.

Dry Bag Backpacks: Merge the waterproof security of a roll-top closure with the carrying comfort of backpack straps. Excellent for hands-free transport of towels, clothes, and gear. Look for padded back panels and adjustable straps in online descriptions.

Waterproof Totes: A rapidly growing category offering a different aesthetic. Many Waterproof Totes use similar robust, wipeable materials as dry bags but may feature simpler top closures (like water-resistant zippers or open tops designed to shed water). While generally not submersible like a sealed roll-top, high-quality version provide excellent defense against splashes, rain, wet surfaces, and sand. Online browsing reveals many fashionable designs perfect for users wanting robust protection without the "expedition gear" look. Carefully read online descriptions regarding closure type and waterproof level.

Waterproof Phone Pouches & Small Cases: For minimalist protection, dedicated small pouches offer certified waterproofness (check IP ratings online) often with touchscreen-compatible windows and secure locking mechanisms (zip seals, clamps). Ideal for just protecting your phone and maybe a card or key.

Lessons from Rougher Waters: Why Quality Matters

The technology that keeps your phone safe from a poolside splash often has roots in more demanding environments. Features like high-frequency welded seams (a sign of quality construction often mentioned in online specs), durable waterproof coatings, and secure closure systems are rigorously tested in sports where failure means significant loss or risk – think kayaking, rafting, or sailing. When you browse Kayaking Products Online, you encounter gear built to withstand sustained water exposure and rough handling. While your beach bag doesn't need to survive Class V rapids, choosing a casual dry bag from a brand known for quality in these more demanding fields often means you benefit from better materials, more reliable construction, and enhanced durability. A well-made bag simply offers more dependable protection and a longer lifespan, making it a better investment even for seemingly "easy" use.

Smart Online Shopping Strategies:

Maximize your online search for the perfect casual dry bag:

Read the Fine Print: Scrutinize product descriptions for dimensions (will your specific towel fit?), materials used, closure instructions, strap details, and any listed waterproof ratings (like IP codes).

Dive Deep into Reviews: Don't just look at the average star rating. Read multiple reviews, focusing on comments related to beach/pool use. Did it keep sand out? Survive splashes? Was the strap comfortable? Was the size accurate? Look for recurring praise or complaints.

Understand Waterproof Claims: If an IP rating is provided online (e.g., IPX6, IPX7), understand what it means. IPX6 protects against powerful jets/splashes, IPX7 allows temporary submersion (up to 1m for 30 mins). For casual use, aim for at least splash/rain protection; submersible capability offers extra peace of mind. Be wary of vague "water-resistant" claims without further specification.

Assess Brand Credibility: Look for brands with a strong reputation in outdoor or watersports gear, often indicated by consistently positive reviews across their product lines.

Know the Return Policy: Ensure the online retailer offers a fair return policy should the bag not meet your expectations upon arrival.

Practical Considerations:

Beyond waterproofness, consider usability. Smooth PVC or TPU surfaces shed sand much more easily than textured fabrics. Bright colors aid visibility. Decide if you prefer one large compartment or the organizational help of pockets. Think about how easy the bag is to load and unload.

Relax Harder with Protected GearYour precious downtime by the water should be about soaking up the sun and enjoying the moment, not fretting over vulnerable electronics or sandy snacks. A well-chosen dry bag provides an easy and effective shield, bringing welcome peace of mind. By harnessing the power of online shopping – the vast selection, detailed specifications, and invaluable user reviews – you can confidently select from the Best Dry Bags designed specifically for casual water protection and travel needs. Whether you prefer a classic roll-top, a stylish Waterproof Totes, or a convenient dry bag backpack, the security it offers is a worthwhile investment. Choosing quality gear enhances the experience, and reputable brands like Skog Å Kust, known for durable and reliable waterproof solutions often found when searching for items like Kayaking Products Online, provide excellent options for keeping your essentials safe during all your waterside adventures. So, research with ease, purchase with confidence, and embrace beach bliss and poolside peace, knowing your gear is secure.

first part of my new satosugu plasma vessel arc fic 😁

it's a rough draft, but i like where it's going so far !!! pls provide feedback 💕 thanks! ☺️

Okinawa

“Let’s just fly out tomorrow morning, Suguru!” Satoru Gojo called out to his friend as he splashed in the clear ocean waves of Okinawa.

Riko Amanai’s eyes sparkled at this idea. She peered up at Satoru, who was initially tormenting her with a creepy-looking sea cucumber.

Suguru Geto frowned, hand coming up to his brow to block the sun. “You know we can’t…” He called back, standing and dusting sand off of himself. He padded over to a shady spot.

Suguru’s eyebrows pinched together in concern. He leaned in and murmured, “You haven’t released your technique since yesterday, have you?”

Satoru’s eyes grew wide. He remained silent, biting the inside of his cheek.

Suguru softened at this comment.

Satoru smirked as he continued in a suggestive whisper near Suguru’s ear, “And you’re going to keep me up tonight, right?”

Suguru flushed beet red, muttering, “I guess it wouldn’t hurt..."

“Hey, Riko, we’re staying!”

Riko cheered at this.

So, unsurprisingly, the group ended up sightseeing for the rest of the day.

Satoru packed the day with fun activities: tandem kayaking, shopping for souvenirs, visiting botanical gardens, eating ramen, and finally, the best part, visiting Okinawa’s aquarium.

If Suguru had any idea of what a “perfect date” was, this would have to be it.

He gazed at Satoru lovingly, admiring how the glowing aquarium tanks reflected in his equally beautiful ocean eyes. Satoru, in his own impulsive way of course, planned this whole amazing day for everyone even while sleep-deprived and anxious. Suguru glanced over at Riko and Kuroi, both of whom looked on in wonder and excitement at the exhibits. He noticed Satoru’s attention also shifted to them, smiling to himself.

He’s being so thoughtful today...

Suddenly, Suguru filled with emotion. He reflected on how precious Satoru was to him and it almost hurt how intensely he wanted to cherish him. His fingers nudged at Satoru’s, and Satoru responded by lacing them tightly, uncaring of curious onlookers. Everyone else faded into the background, as they often did when he was with Suguru. They stood in comfortable silence as they watched sea creatures dart and weave around them.

“It’s like we’re on vacation…” Suguru thought aloud, smiling softly to himself.

Satoru peeked at him through the corner of his sunglasses and matched his smile.

“It’s nice, isn’t it?” Satoru replied, fixing his gaze on the giant, majestic whale passing over them.

Suguru squeezed his hand gently.

“Yeah, it is.”

“It’s only two bedrooms…” Kuroi commented as they all settled in. “Is that okay for you both? There might be a spare futon…”

“It’s fine,” they both replied in unison, side-eyeing each other and giggling quietly as they shuffled inside with their bags.

Kuroi looked surprised at first, then her face softened and she smiled. “You two must be very close.”

“Yeah, we’re boy-” Satoru started.

“Best friends. We’re best friends.” Suguru finished. He shot a warning look at Satoru.

“Take a nap, you need it,” Suguru suggested, hooking his arm around Satoru’s shoulders and reaching up to thread his fingers into fluffy white hair. He pulled out his phone to set an alarm.

Satoru yawned, fighting to keep his eyes open in Suguru’s warm embrace. “I can’t… Gotta protect her…” Despite his arguments, he nuzzled his face further into Suguru’s shoulder.

“I’ll stay up and wake you in a couple of hours. I’ve already got curses patrolling outside. You don’t have to do this alone, y’know.”

Satoru forced his eyes to open as best as he could so he looked up at Suguru appreciatively. Then, he smiled deviously with another brilliant idea written across his face. “I’ll sleep… if you jump in the ocean with me later tonight.”

Suguru snorted as he scrolled through his phone, “Satoru, that’s a terrible idea.”

“My ideas are never terrible,” Satoru mumbled, eyelids growing heavy again. He finally closed them as he mumbled, sadly and quietly, “You didn’t even get in today… I wanted to swim with you.”

“I’ll think about it.” Suguru smiled, kissing the top of Satoru’s head. His hair smelled like sweet citrus. “Now get some rest.”

Satoru hummed sleepily before he drifted off, “I know you’ll say yes.”

Suguru laughed quietly to himself.

I probably will.

Satoru woke in a panic two hours later, gasping and attempting to sit up. He was still firmly tucked against Suguru, who jolted at Satoru’s sudden movements. Satoru lifted his head, eyes wide with anxiety. “Wha- What time is it?! Where’s Riko!?”

Suguru patted him, coaxing his head back down. “Hey, it’s alright,” he soothed, shoving his phone into his pocket. “Riko’s sleeping, everything’s fine. It’s only 11pm.”

Satoru relaxed into the touch, sighing. “Good, I’m glad.” He sat up and stretched with a yawn. “Only 11? That’s perfect. Let’s go for a dip.” He grinned widely and stood. Clearly, an extra few hours of sleep did the job. “C’mon, we’re already in swimsuits.”

“Exactly,” Satoru replied and booped Suguru on the nose with his finger. “It’ll keep us awake.”

Satoru’s face fell. He pouted, “But-”

“We can take a shower together after.”

Satoru immediately agreed, blushing wildly, “Okay fine. No Infinity.”
