FFXIV Polyamory Week

Day 7: Vacation | Relaxation

Warnings: None

Spoilers: None

As Cynthia and Hythlodaeus start to lay out beach towels and set down a picnic basket, Hades sighs in relief, snapping a beach umbrella into existence and lying down.

“Looking forward to a day of sunbathing?” Asks Hythlodaeus.

“A few hours at least,” he grumbles, “since I’m sure the two of you will find some way to bother me.”

“But if we didn’t bother you, you’d worry something happened,” says Cynthia. “You wouldn’t have it any other way.”

He cracks an eye open and smiles at her for a moment before letting the sound of the waves lull him to sleep.

When he wakes up… sometime later, he sighs and rolls onto his side, intending to fall back asleep…

But it’s quiet.

Too quiet. 

Sitting up, he looks around to figure out what mischief his partners have gotten themselves into this time-

And he’s surrounded by a wall of sand on all three sides, with the open side facing the shore.

“Oh, for the love of-” he grumbles to himself, standing up and walking out the open side.

There are small sand sculptures and sandcastles all over the immediate area, and closer to the water are doodles statements written in the sand that are already partially washed away.

But neither Cynthia nor Hythlodaeus are in sight.

Frowning, he turns around and walks the perimeter of the created sand walls, and finds the two lying on a towel in the shade created by one of the walls.

They’re covered in sand, with Hythlodaeus partially lying atop Cynthia as the two are fast asleep.

Well.

If there’s already a layer of sand on them, what’s more of it?

He smirks, snapping so the sand wall closest to them collapses and partially buries them.
