Beach Retreat

(mc will be refered to as Luna for the sake of readability in this)

Who's ready for an 8k< word fic of post Darkwick ghoulsxmc??? I'm kidding I know it's all of us. Enjoy!

The salty breeze, the warm white sand, the blazing sun, the gentle lapping waves, the relaxed atmosphere, one word: Paradise. The island felt completely different this time around, a much better place to take a well deserved vacation. Brushing her hair back she surveyed the area for what her ghouls were doing.

Near the shore you could see Sho in board shorts and an open button up, grilling over a barbecue. Leo in his short sleeved hoodie, unzipped halfway down wasn’t far off, setting up a familiar DJ table. He was clearly annoying his close friend if the devious grin was anything to go by.

On the actual shoreline Jiro was crouched watching some kind of animal go about it's daily routine. Beside him was a very curious Lyca, tail wagging behind him. Both sported unzipped hooded cover up shirts and swim trunks despite the pair’s inability to swim.

Further down there was a net for beach volleyball set up, Towa and Haru on one side and Luca and Kaito on the other. It didn't seem to be going well for the latter team. Towa’s pale chest was on display, glistening from sun screen that wasn’t fully rubbed in. Haru had that same stupid hawaiian print shirt from the first time around. Thankfully this time he had gotten a much better upgraded prosthetic that wouldn’t be bothered by the water, sand, or heat. Luca and Kaito had adorable matching swim trunks, dark blue and covered in a fun geometric pattern. Oh Kaito missed the ball… to be fair that was probably the best thing he could do as it left a dent in the sand.

Not far from them were Alan and Tohma, so close their arms were almost touching. They seemed to be talking as they stared out at the waves. Neither of them cared to wear anything but trunks, Tohma letting down his guard enough for the tattoos on his back to be in full view.

And far, far, far away from the water on an oversized beach towel were Ren and Ritsu, the green haired man fighting the shade over them to try and avoid the glare on his phone screen. Ritsu wore sensible board shorts and nothing else, Ren the same but having an open button up hanging loosely off his frame. She remembered having to go up a few sizes from the first one with how it dug into his body. How did he maintain that physique when he rarely did anything?

A small outdoor bar was set up nearby. Behind the counter was Rui, showing much more skin than the first time he came here. The top three buttons of his cover up were open showing off sun kissed skin. He mixed a drink and placed it in front of Romeo, winking at the man. Beside Romeo on the other stool was Taiga, laughing and ordering his own drink. Taiga had a long sleeved cover up, more akin to a robe, resting on his shoulders. Meanwhile Romeo, already sipping daintily at his drink had on the most elaborate pair of designer trunks and a matching button up. Of course his signature shades were nestled on top of his head, the lenses a gradient of violet and green. She refused to think about the cost of that pair again...

Directly behind her was a small familiar group, Haku, Subaru and Zenji, all sitting at the outdoor patio attached to the building. Haku wearing a loose pair of trunks and nothing else, his piercings shining in the sun. Subaru had board shorts and a fully buttoned silk shirt, a lovely pattern of camellias traveling across the front. Zenji had bold colored hakama style pants, a loose yukata hanging on to his shoulders for dear life, and of course his trusty geta. He could never go without those. Clearly Haku was saying something that the other two were chastising him for. As usual.

Next to her under the big parasol was a sleeping Ed, still trying to be part of their vacation despite how the sun affected him. He had worn the exact outfit from their prior visit which she’s sure Rui had to find for him.

And then the thing that made her heart swell most about this whole peaceful scene. On a small separated covered deck with a huge outdoor couch and table set were Jin and Yuri. Jin in a pair of board shorts and a white open button up, Yuri in a similar style short, but his cover up was a sleeveless zipped up hoodie. Jin reclined against the corner cushion of the couch, Yuri sitting side saddle on his lap, head resting on the other's shoulder. One of Jin’s arms cradling the doctor close as if afraid to let go. If she strained to hear she could just make out Yuri humming a tune.

Luna smiled, all of her ghouls were happy, all of them enjoying themselves together. No blood shed, no tears, no fighting, just peace and love. That's what she had been after this whole time. Not fixing the mess left by the school. This was the true goal that had come to her. And now that she had achieved it she couldn't just walk away. No they were her ghouls now. And she was theirs.

She stood quietly and shrugged the over shirt off her shoulders, leaving her in the cute bikini Romeo had chosen for her. The top had a halter style, the ring in the center held two strips of fabric that crossed over her stomach and attached to the rings on the sides of the bikini bottoms, the pattern repeating on the back as well. Of course knowing his tastes Romeo had chosen a deep mauve with a minimal lace pattern in a pinker shade of lilac. He spoiled her with these damn things, always getting her something too expensive. Taking the small camcorder from her bag she decided to set out and make a little vacation tape.

Approaching Ren and Ritsu she held the camera up and hit record.

"Uggggh! This level sucks..." Ren's head shot up and he locked eyes on the object immediately, "No! Get that thing outta my face!" He put a hand between him and the camera.

"Aw come on Ren! It's for the memories."

Ritsu spoke up, "Actually if he does not consent to being filmed under article-"

"What was my condition for you when we agreed to come here?" She cut him off smoothly with a soft chastising tone.

Teal eyes looked away and he deflated, "...No legal talk."

"Exactly. We aren't here for work. So let's not talk about work." Pointing the camera on him and his shy behavior Luna smiled and crouched down, kissing him softly.

Ritsu leaned into the affection, humming his approval, and almost deepening the kiss. But she pulled away and licked her lips, the sight causing him to do the same.

She giggled, "Now I hope to see you two enjoying yourselves later instead of staying tucked under this umbrella all day."

Ren grunted, "Its not worth it. It's too hot, it's too close to the water, there's too many people-" He was cut off as she shifted towards him and kissed him as well. His hands instinctively went up to pull her closer, not putting up any resistance when she grabbed them.

Her hands pushed down on the open button up he was wearing, easily slipping it down his arms and off his body in this distracted state. When she stood back up she spun the fabric around with a smirk and flung it into the air, "Towa! Hide that for me!"

A white haired man leapt into the air effortlessly, catching the shirt and grinning at the baffled look on Ren's face. He slung it onto the roof of the mini bar and landed back around Haru's side to continue playing. Giving them a friendly wave he laughed.

Haru gave a loud whistle towards them, "Show it off Ren! Wah!" The volleyball landed right beside him and he turned back with a frown, "That's a foul! We called time out!"

"Bu- wh- are you- Agh! Seriously?! Towa you're getting that down later you bastard! When I get my hands on you..." Ren growled.

Ritsu glanced at him, "Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't he usually the one who gets his hands on you?"

"Dude who's side are you on?!"

Making a face at Ren he huffed, "Please refrain from calling me that. You've quite literally had your penis inside me. I think we're past the 'dude' phase of this relationship."

Blushing he squawked, "Y-you can't just say that!"

Luna stifled a laugh as she turned away from the two and headed down towards the beach where Jiro was teaching Lyca about the crabs there. She held her camera up as she could hear them now.

"And that one is female."

"How can you tell?! They look the exact same!"

"No, the females have slightly smaller claws. See? That one is a male." The gentle monotone of Jiro continued as he pointed from one to another, "And that one beside him is a young adult male. It's harder to tell the juvenile males apart from the adult females."

"Wow..." His ears perked up and he turned to see her, a smile gracing his features, "Luna! Listen to this, he can tell what gender these guys are without even picking them up to check! Isn't that awesome?"

She returned the same gentle look, "Yeah. Jiro's super smart. He reads so much I'm surprised he can remember everything."

"I don't remember everything I've read. Just most of what I've read after I woke up from the coma."

Lyca leaned in towards her, spotting the camera, "You're making movies?"

"Yeah. Just a little vacation tape. Something to remember this by." She reached out and stroked one of his ears.

He whined, "Stop. You make me act weird when you touch them."

Standing on her toes she kissed the pouty werewolf and giggled, "Sorry. They're cute."

Jiro stepped over and lifted her up, giving her a kiss as well.

Flustered by the sudden move she put her hands on his shoulders, "Whoa! What brought that on?"

"You kissed him. So now it's my turn right?" He tilted his head and put her back on her feet.

"That's true. You just surprised me is all." She took note of the slight smile on his face and laughed, "You enjoy doing that."

"I don't know what you mean-"

"Jiro! Get away from the shore! The waves are getting stronger and you can't swim!" A loud boisterous voice shouted from afar.

He looked up towards the patio and sighed, "I'm being careful." Putting his thumb up towards the other bespectacled man he turned his attention to Luna again, "He really thinks I'm going to be swept out to sea by these little waves?"

"You know it's in his nature to worry. He's a big brother after all." She smiled and looked back towards the trio, Haku bodily dragging Zenji to sit back down.

"He worries more than Yuri."

Luna chuckled, "Well that's how they show their love. Anyway, I'll see you guys later. We don’t have all day and I wanna get more footage!" Waving to the pair she moved down the beach to where Sho and Leo were.

"I'm not adding that shitty hot sauce, you can go eat a dick."

"I mean you of all people know I'm not opposed to that but I'd rather not start on an empty stomach."

Sho sighed and looked over his shoulder, a smirk dragging the corner of his mouth up. "Hey you," It was so simple but the words held so much affection. "You get lured in by the smell?"

She beamed a smile at him, "Not this time. I just wanted to see how you two are doing over here. But it does smell good..."

"Of course it does." He held out a small skewer with a grilled piece of meat and several vegetables on it. "I made it."

Taking the skewer she bit into the meat and hummed happily, "That's delicious..."

Leo sighed, "It'll be better once you add some spice to it. I promise you it's way better with a kick.

"I'll take your word for it Leo." She continued to munch on the food with a face like a happy hamster.

"Anyway Honor Roll, you have any boring music requests?" He finished setting up the sound board. "And no, I'm not adding anything from that band you like that broke up."

She frowned, her cheeks full with food making it turn into a big puffy cheeked pout.

Sho held back a laugh, covering his mouth as he stared at her in adoration.

Leo snapped a photo of her with lightening fast reflexes, "Thanks. I needed a new stupid looking profile pic for you in my contacts." He grinned.

Swallowing roughly she reached out and smacked his arm, "That's rude!"

"Don't worry about him. I'll sort his ass out later."

"Literally~?" He batted his lashes at Sho.

Fumbling he looked away with a sharp, "Tch. Maybe if you actually deserve it."

Luna put a hand on her hip, the other angling the camera at them, "The type of flirting you two do is so... odd. Usually Sho's the flirt but whenever you say something Leo he gets so flustered."

"I don't get flustered!"

Another voice joined in from the other side of the grill, "Yeah you do." Ren had come over and started to flip the skewers that Sho had momentarily forgotten about.

The rider turned back to him, "Wh- hey! I had it..."

"So you expect everyone to be fine with this?" He held up the underside of one that had charred.

He grunted, "You're such a fucking pain..."

"Back at you. If you weren't drooling over Luna you might have been focused enough to not let it burn." A smirk played on Ren's face.

"You know what, I think you're the one who deserves to have their ass sorted out later."

"Fucking what? Are you trying to say you're gonna fuck me later?" He grimaced, "Dude, get better lines."

Leo chuckled, "Like you haven't heard some of Sho's worst lines and still fallen all over his dick."

Ren turned red, "Fuck off."

"Make me, nerd."

Sho groaned, "Enough! You two are bad for my health. Leo, go ask your favorite little fuck buddy what he wants you to play. Maybe you'll actually listen to him."

He tilted his head and touched a finger to his lips in thought, "Which one is that?"

Ren rolled his eyes, "Depends on the day of the week if you ask me..."

"I meant Romeo, but if you wanna go ask Cap what he wants you to play be my guest. I think you already know what he'll say."

The shortest man in the group whined, "I don't wanna play divorced dad rock!"

Luna laughed and stepped up to Sho, tugging him down into a kiss. The ghoul was caught off guard for a split second before returning her affection ten fold.

A wall of jealousy was felt pressing against her back, "Luuuuna... what about me?"

She turned, Sho pressing against her back as she fell into Leo's trap. He took her face in his hands and pulled her into a kiss, slipping his tongue in almost instantly. Sho's arms wrapped around them both watching over her shoulder with interest.

Luna whined and pulled away, "Hey. Stop it... not right now..." She looked up at Sho and then back to Leo. "You guys are too dangerous when you team up..." Her camera had been left to aim at the ground during the whole thing, dangling from the strap on her wrist.

Ren cleared his throat, "I'd say get a room but I'd rather you not tire her out before anyone else gets a chance to have time with her."

Sho licked his lips, "We could always turn our attention on you."

"Not a chance! Someone has to make sure our food doesn't burn!"

Taking this opportunity to slip away she let the three bicker. Hearing Ren continue to gripe about Sho’s not so subtle flirting she chuckled. Luna focused on regaining her composure as she walked by the beach volleyball game.

"Lunaaaaaaaa! Save meeeeee!" Kaito reached for her as she stopped. "I can't keep this up!"

Luca grabbed him and pulled him back, "Kaito I need my partner..."

"Find another jock to do it! I'm tired!" He whined as he was dragged back.

"Gahahaha! They can't handle us Towa! Too bad. I wanted a challenge!" He high fived the white haired man beside him.

Luna smiled apologetically, "Sorry Katio, I don't think anything can save you from Luca's puppy dog eyes."

"My what?" He turned to her, confusion on his face.

Kaito groaned, "We've been over this!"

"I don't have puppy dog eyes."

Luna sighed and shook her head before turning to Towa and Haru, bringing the camera up. The two were talking, as much as Towa could with the sun up like this. Walking over to them she smiled, being instantly scooped into Towa's arms. "Hi Towa!" He leaned in to kiss her neck and shoulders and rub his face against her like a cat. "Haha, that tickles!"

Haru leaned in too, "Towa don't hog her to yourself mate. You know you have to share. Just like you share me nicely with others right?" He smiled up at the other man who pouted and grumbled. "Or how you and I share her?" Towa made a slightly less annoyed noise at that.

She reached up and turned Towa's face so she could kiss him. Savoring the sweet candy taste of his chapstick.

"Luna don't tease me like that!" Haru pouted now, reaching out to them, only for him to be shifted into Luna's previous position. "Towaaaaaaa!" Haru flustered as he was given the same treatment, his prosthetic arm reaching up to push the other man's face away from his neck.

She giggled and watched them, using the distraction to give Haru a kiss as well. "You guys should ask for another group to play with. I think Kaito is wiped out. Maybe you'll find a better match for your team?"

Haru had practically melted into Towa's grip, "Whatever you say beautiful..."

Towa hummed happily and propped Haru up on his own feet again.

"I'll catch you two later, gotta go make sure Luca is actually going to let Kaito rest." She waved to the two and smiled as she headed over to where the duo had set up towels and an umbrella earlier.

Kaito laid out on his back, panting softly still. His sweaty flushed body finally under the umbrella and out of the harsh sun. He whined, "Ugh... forget tanning I'm just gonna burn..."

Luca had been rummaging around in his bag and found what he was searching for. "I told you to let me know whenever you felt overheated." He popped the cap on the sunscreen and rubbed a dollop between his hands. Leaning over the blond he began rubbing the cream into his chest first.

Kaito flinched, "W-warn me! Geez... And I did tell you! You were just too into the game!" Letting Luca apply the sunscreen he sighed softly, "Plus you know I can do this myself right?"

The other man pouted, "If you get sunburnt it will be my fault. I failed to protect you. So please allow me to try and fix what I've done." His amethyst eyes burned with determination.

The blond blushed and covered his face, "You're so embarrassing! Ughhh I hate understanding why the girls were all over you..."

Luna stepped up beside them, camera up and focused on Luca's hands. "You making sure Kaito doesn't become a lobster?"

He looked up as he moved on to the blond's exposed stomach, "Of course! It wouldn't do to let him suffer any type of injury when we're on a vacation like this."

She smiled, watching Kaito instantly shoot upright at the sound of her voice.

"Luna! Thank youuuuuu... You saved me by distracting those guys... They're scary when it comes to games like that. I thought Towa was gonna spike the ball through my head at one point!"

Luca pushed him back down and continued, "He wouldn't have done that."

"He might have! You never know! He's a little unhinged if you hadn't noticed yet."

Luna giggled, "He wouldn't hurt you on purpose. I made him promise a long time ago that hurting anyone else in our group was off limits... Unless they specifically ask you to."

Big blue eyes widened, "Who would ask that?!"

She held up a finger to her lips, "I can't divulge sensitive information like that."

Luca smiled and watched the two as he grabbed more sunscreen to use on Kaito's arms.

She smiled and crouched over Kaito, pressing a kiss to his lips. Giggling at the ecstatic noise he made she pulled away and brushed his hair back. "Your roots are coming back in again. Let me know when you want to fix those."

He sighed dreamily, "How did I get so lucky?"

Luca sat up waiting patiently as Luna turned to him and gave him a soft peck on the mouth. He pulled her closer to show his own feelings on the short kiss, making her head spin with how intense he was.

She pulled away panting softly, "Well... I should keep going. I want to get everyone on film."

He smiled, "Of course. And whenever you're done come back here and I'll apply more sunscreen for you too." Luca turned back to Kaito and started to rub more into his arms.

Heading off towards the duo who were watching the sea she held up her camera, slowly getting closer and catching bits of their conversation.

"You remember that?"

"How could I forget? You dropped a two ton car on your foot. If it weren't for anomalous medicine you'd have been stuck on crutches for at least a month." The blond laughed airly.

Alan huffed, "So that means you also remember how much you panicked when that happened?"

Freezing up he cleared his throat, "I was worried that you had severed your foot. You made the most pained face I've ever seen on you."

"It hurt a lot. But you know you didn't have to literally flip the car off of me. You tossed it and broke all the windows when it's roof hit the ground."

Tohma flushed slightly, "I said I was worried."

Alan smiled warmly, something that Tohma couldn't help but stare at awestruck no matter how many times he’d been the reason for it.

Luna watched them for a moment, her own soft smile on her face.

Steel gray eyes slid over to her, "Ah. Luna."

Tohma turned his head and gave her his signature smirk, "Going around to spy on everyone I see?"

"Oh yes. I'm the sneakiest spy you've ever seen. I have a whole camcorder strapped to my wrist and everything." She grinned at the way Tohma ate up the sarcasm dripping from her words.

Alan patted the spot between them, a space so small she wasn't quite sure she'd fit. But despite that she squeezed herself between them and settled down.

Tohma's arm draped over her shoulder, Alan's arm reaching across to rest on the blond's, caging her in.

She leaned against the warmth of Alan's chest, the sun having made it even more inviting than usual.

The silence was broken when Tohma leaned in to whisper into her ear, "You look tired. Are you sure you slept well last night?"

She jolted a bit and turned to him, cheeks heated. "Uh I... well it was a bit... difficult to say the least. I had a hard time getting comfortable. There were too many arms and legs everywhere..." Sheepishly she looked away from them both.

Tohma smirked and pressed a kiss to her temple, "You don't have to sleep in a sweaty pile you know. You could kick them out or tell them to go sleep somewhere else. Or did they tire you out too much for that? You do seem to be having a bit of trouble walking t-"

Luna cut him off by grabbing his face and kissing him forcefully. "Stop. Talking. You. Tease!" She pecked his lips between each word, "I'm already blushing too hard..."

Alan chuckled and pushed Tohma's head away from her playfully, "Give her a break."

"Mister knight in oil spotted armor, hmm? As if you don't tend to leave her with a limp frequently."

His face turned red and he looked away, "I don't mean to..."

She reached up and turned his head back, capturing his lips in a soft kiss. "It's okay. I... kinda like how it feels afterwards... and during of course..." Her cheeks matched his.

Tohma laughed softly, "Honestly I don't think you can fuck someone and not leave them with a limp." His chin hooked over Luna's shoulder and he rested his head there, "I can't say I hear any of them complaining about it though. And I'm no exception," The last part was a purr as he eyed Alan with interest.

The other man cleared his throat and untangled himself from the two. "I'm going in the water." He stood on slightly shaky legs and quickly went out to the point his waist was beneath the surface.

Tohma barked a laugh and leaned on the girl beside him, "He’s hard."

Luna held back her own laugh, "Yeah... he definitely is." Filming Alan in the water with a sour look towards them the camera shook from her restrained giggles. "He's mad..."

Tohma chuckled, "Don't worry. I'll help him cool off." Standing he walked out into the water to where Alan was, laughing harder as the other turned away from him.

Luna shook her head watching them, "Just a pair of goofballs that everyone thinks are the most serious people they know." She stared for a bit longer before standing and heading back inland a bit.

Her eyes caught sight of something interesting, Taiga had Romeo pulled into his lap, arms wrapped around his waist to keep him from getting up. She beelined for the mini bar with her camera up.

"TGA... Let me go." He seethed quietly.

"Lulu~ You know you look too cute when you start getting tipsy. I can't leave you alone or Mickey is gonna take advantage of you." He nuzzled his face against Romeo’s back.

"Shut up he would not!" His voice cracked slightly.

Rui chuckled, cleaning a glass. "I dunno~ you do start making some pretty cute faces when you get enough drink in you. And that pout when someone brings it up is downright unfair!" He winked and looked up at the new patron, "Ah cutie! You're finally here!"

The two turned to look back at her, Taiga grinning. "Hey kitty cat, film anything fun? Maybe there's an award winning porno on that thing." He cackled as Romeo swatted him.

"That's not the goal today sorry Taiga." She giggled.

"Damn, call me first if that goal changes. I'll help you start it the right way." He purred, hands squeezing Romeo's thighs firmly.

The other man gasped at the sudden attention and smacked the offending hands, "Will you stop?!" His face was turning red.

Rui laughed, "You want something to drink?"

Luna took an empty seat, "Yes please! Something fruity and super refreshing."

"Like me?" Rui added a wink as she laughed at his joke, "One super fruity refreshing drink coming up!"

Romeo settled back against Taiga now that he was simply stroking his thighs soothingly. "So do you like my choice?"

Luna glanced at him, "Your choice? Oh! This bikini! Yes! It's super cute and it doesn't bunch up in weird places when I'm swimming. It really fits like a dream."

He nodded, "Good. That means the tailor did their job right. It looks good on you..."

"It would look better on the ground." Taiga added as he grinned, all teeth and tease, eyes undressing her where she sat.

Luna pouted, "I think it looks cuter on me for right now. I'd hate for someone who's not one of us to get an eyeful... I know you'd hate it more right Taiga?” Her voice dropped lower into a teasing tone, chin resting in her palm. “Some random guy seeing me naked? Getting a good look at everything I have?"

Romeo felt the growl reverberate in Taiga's chest, "Relax. You know she's just riling you up idiot."

He nipped at Romeo's shoulder, "Quiet. Sit pretty and stay outta this conversation." His green eyes locked onto Luna, suddenly very serious. "You know I'd fucking kill anyone you didn't approve of who got to see you like that right? They'd be swiss cheese in seconds. Or I could throw them to my underlings. Have them rip out the bastards eyes and sell em to the highest bidder."

Rui put her drink down in front of her, "Tai. No murder talk at the bar please."

Before he could say anything else Romeo's hand smacked at his face, "HDY tell me to butt out?! And then you try to bite me?! You BTH!!" He started to struggle out of Taiga's lap.

"Lulu! Nooo!" He whined when the man got free and pouted, then turned to Luna and patted his thigh. "C'mere kitty cat. If he doesn't wanna play nice you can take his spot."

She giggled and took a sip of her drink, "Oooo! Rui that's delicious!" Standing she let herself be plucked and placed in Taiga's lap like a doll, taking her drink with her.

"Thanks cutie. Glad you approve. I used some dragon fruit for the slushy base to make it extra refreshing!" He looked up at Romeo who was pouting now. "Romi-Romi what's up?"

The man stepped around the bar and leaned against Rui's side, "He replaced me so easily. Would you do that Mickey? Be honest." He wrapped his arms around one of Rui’s, “I know I’m hard to handle sometimes but I’d hope that I’m worth it.”

Rui flustered, feeling Romeo's skin against his own. "Romi you're irreplaceable! Tai's just mad cause you won't warm his lap nicely. You know better than anyone he just wants a cute little thing on his lap at all times. Right?" The blond chuckled and leaned into the touch, gently brushing soft dark gray hair behind his ear.

Taiga’s eye twitched, barely containing his jealousy, "Oi. Lulu, you trying to piss me off flirting with Mickey like that?" He squeezed one of Luna's thighs, dragging it away from its twin, making her straddle his already spread thighs. "Bet I can make you drop that act pretty fast." His hand slid up her thigh to her hip, where his fingers slowly dragged over the swimsuit, resting his palm flat over her clothed core. "I could start working my fingers in her pussy right here in front of you..."

Luna sputtered on her drink and snapped her legs shut, trapping his hand. "Taiga! That's too far!"

Rui and Romeo were both staring wide eyed and red in the face at the scene. The blond wiped his mouth and coughed, "Damn. Tai, you know that's dangerous."

Romeo marched back around the bar to their side and wrenched Taiga's hand from between her legs. Scooping her into his arms and sitting on the other chair he sneered, "Vulgar bastard. Don't even think about ripping this bikini. It costs more than you're worth!"

Luna sighed and leaned into Romeo, kissing his cheek.

He turned his face, using his thumb and forefinger to grip her chin and tilt her face so he could kiss her properly. Romeo kissed passionately, which he said was just an Italian thing. But honestly it felt much more like a Romeo thing to anyone you asked.

She pulled away and sighed happily, curling into his chest as she continued sipping her drink.

Taiga grumbled, "Stealing her right off my lap. Greedy fucker." He picked up his glass and downed it in one go.

Rui chuckled, "Luna~ Where's our kisses? I know you've been giving them out." He leaned over the bar towards her, "And I've been waiting sooooo patiently for mine." His eyes twinkled mischievously.

She giggled and sat her drink down, meeting him halfway by leaning over the bar to give him a soft little kiss. His hand tugged her closer by the back of the head and he deepened it easily. When they parted he licked his lips and stared into her eyes. "You're right. That drink is delicious."

Luna shivered at the barely there husky tone in his voice. Romeo's hands dug into her hips to keep her from tipping off his lap.

"Enough of that! Where's mine?!" Taiga groused and held a hand out towards her. "Don't let these guys hog you."

She laughed and lifted herself off Romeo, noting the cute pout on his face. Slipping into Taiga's grasp she pulled him into a kiss, gasping at the little nips he started to give her. She hummed and pulled away, "Watch those teeth. If you cut my lip again you know you'll never hear the end of it."

He sighed dramatically, "Yeah yeah, like you don't love it."

Luna giggled again and took her drink in hand, "I never said it was going to be me you had to worry about." She glanced back at an annoyed Romeo.

As the fashion heir started a tirade about proper skin care and how detrimental cuts were she slipped away, waving to Rui and company. "See you guys later!"

Taiga shouted after her, "I'll finish what I started later tonight!"

She bit her lip and glanced back, tugging one of her bikini cups down to flash him before quickly pulling it back up. Luna laughed at the desperate noise that made its way out of his throat and the shout of "Your ass is mine later!" As she made her way to the patio to finish her drink in a more peaceful environment.

Haku was the first to acknowledge her as she sat at the table with them, "Hey princess. You having fun poking the tiger over there? It's a dangerous game, you should be careful." He rested his chin in one palm and gave her a half lidded look, appreciating her swimwear.

"Luna our dearest! Are you enjoying yourself? This place is gorgeous and I feel inspired already!" Zenji leaned over the table towards her, his enthusiasm palpable. "And everyone seems to be in an amicable mood today. So as long as that doesn't change this vacation will be a huge success!"

She smiled brightly, "I'm glad we got to take you to a beach resort. And Jiro, technically he's been here before but it was for a silly mission so I don't really count that."

"Oh doll, you're so kind. You know exactly how to treat your lovers." He watched her with a reverent gaze, finally going quiet in contemplation.

Subaru cleared his throat, "This has already been such a nice time. I was just telling Haku that we should go and hunt for shells to take back with us as souvenirs."

Taking a long sip from her cup she nodded, "Of course! We should all do that later. Maybe when it's not so bright and the waves have calmed down a bit."

The tallest of the three stood up again and shouted, "Jiro! It's time for more sunscreen! Come back over here!" He waited patiently as the younger man groaned and followed his brother's instructions. The two sat off to the side, Zenji going on about how pale the other was and how badly sunburn could affect him. Jiro silently listening, eyes focused on a familiar head of teal hair in the distance.

There was a soft chuckle to her right, "He's such a doting brother. I forgot just how much after our second year..."

Luna smiled at that comment, "Yeah. It's sweet. Makes me happy that we were able to bring them back together."

Haku leaned back and cupped a hand to his mouth, "Don't forget you're also super pale Zenji! You should be applying more sunscreen too."

The man squawked loudly as Jiro turned to him and started to rub cold sunblock into his skin.

"Be still, he's right you know."

"Ah but I'm the older brother! I should be the one caring for you!"

Jiro rolled his eyes, "You're only a year older."

"It's the principle of the matter!"

Luna smiled at them and finished off her drink. She jolted slightly as a not so timid hand engulfed hers where it rested on the table. Subaru's thumb gently rubbing back and forth over her knuckles tenderly as he watched her with hooded lavender eyes.

She looked up at him curiously, "Subaru?"

His eyes were slightly clouded, "You've been enjoying yourself with everyone hm?"

Flushing she looked away from his prying gaze, "You're so much more dangerous now that you have better control over that..."

He smiled, it not reaching his eyes as he leaned in and captured her lips. His hands cupped her face to bring her closer.

The thing that was the most dangerous about Subaru was that he kissed like a man who was dying. Hungry and overpowering in ways that were equal parts desperate and tempting. He broke the kiss and touched his forehead to hers, simply basking in the closeness. "You're perfect," Came the soft raw whisper from his pretty mouth.

She blushed and relaxed into his hold, "Says the most beautiful man Hotarubi had ever seen. And what did I tell you about putting on an act while we were here? You’re supposed to give us the real Subaru when we’re all on vacation."

He gave her a gentle pout, "Sorry. Force of habit."

Yellow eyes had been watching them the whole time, flickering with excitement at the vision of two of his lovers sharing a soft moment. Haku leaned back in his chair, "Mm... I would love to see a painting of you two like this. Two classic beauties in the mid afternoon sun, in their own little world where all they see is each other."

"Sounds like Zenji's been having you read his poetry lately." The hand closest to Subaru had been placed on his exposed thigh.

Haku smiled, "Guilty." Glancing at Subaru he raised a brow.

Subaru sat up further to avoid him seeing her hand, cheeks flushed and clearing his throat, "So you... Uh... Where were we?"

Haku laughed, "One kiss was all it took? Ah Subaru, never change."

Luna pouted as she took her hand back, "Are you saying you'd be much different?"

"Well princess there's only one way to find out."

Rolling her eyes she stood up and walked over to him, draping herself over his lap and leaning in to kiss the green haired man. Haku's arms were around her instantly, keeping her there so she wouldn't slip away as easily. Gaining entrance to her mouth he groaned.

"Ahem!" Zenji stood arms crossed behind them, "This seems fairly inappropriate for broad daylight..." There was a light blush on his cheeks at the sight of them.

Haku tipped his head back and looked up at Zenji in a slight daze, "I mean if you're jealous I can help with that."

Luna chuckled at the way Zenji sputtered. "You're right. It's not very appropriate." Reaching up she grabbed the open yukata and dragged the tall man down to her level, "Or very fair." Planting a dizzying kiss on him she smiled against his mouth as he fumbled.

"She's such a tease isn't she?" Haku tilted his head so he could speak directly into Zenji's ear, voice low and husky. "Makes you wanna scoop her up and take her back to the bedroom right? I bet that's exactly what she wants too." Delivering the final blow he ran his tongue over the shell of his ear.

Zenji broke the kiss bolting upright, "You lout!" His face was bright red, "I was having a moment with our darling and you had to go and make it perverse!"

Haku chuckled and covered his mouth.

She looked up at the man and licked her lips, "Guilty." She mimicked Haku's admission from before.

Zenji flustered at the comment, "I- I'm going to go and find Towa!" Turning he walked away briskly.

Subaru shook his head, "Haku you're a bit mean to him sometimes."

"Hmm? Is Subaru feeling neglected? I can be mean to you too." Haku gave him that smirk that promised wicked things.

His face reddened, "Not here..."

"Suba! Check this out!" The werewolf bounded over with a bucket full of shells and sea creatures. "We went and dug up a bunch of stuff to grill!"

Subaru focused on him, clearing his embarrassment and smiled, "Wow Lyca, that's a lot. Did you get all of these by yourself?"

Luna smiled as she stood and picked up her camera from the table, ignoring the pout being given to her. "See you guys. I've got a few other stops to make."

Haku sighed, "And I'm the one people call a tease."

She leaned in and whispered something into his ear, the instant red on his cheeks drawing Subaru's attention. Luna flicked one of Haku's nipple piercings, bringing out a whine. He pouted and reached for her but was just a bit too slow. Blowing him a kiss she giggled before leaving the patio and heading down towards the covered deck.

Passing her own umbrella she was stopped in her tracks by a pale hand grabbing her wrist, "Having fun?"

Luna startled a bit but smiled as she saw Ed lounging, "Yeah. You have a nice nap old timer?"

He released her wrist and placed a hand over his heart, "You wound me dear. Surely you have more respect for your elders than that?"

"I would," She crouched down and sat beside him, "If my elders in this case weren't constantly trying to suck my blood at night. Or turn into a bat and sleep in my bra. Or drag me into an hours long orgy after 2am. Or-"

He silenced her with a kiss, pulling her over top of him. Carding his fingers through her hair he hummed and wrapped his other arm around her waist.

Pulling away she sighed, "You didn't let me finish."

"I'm sure you have many qualms to bring up. But need I remind you that you enjoyed all of those things? How my venom makes your body writhe? How you coo over how tiny and adorable I am in that form? How you cry out in es-"

It was Luna's turn to shut him up. Her kiss nearly overpowering the man as he didn't expect it. "Touche, Mr Hart, touche."

Laughing softly he rubbed her back in a gentle soothing manner, "I could fall asleep just like this." His eyes closed as he relaxed again.

"I promise we'll spend more time together tonight. You just rest and don't worry about us. Rui will take you inside if the sun gets to be too much." She smoothed his disheveled hair back and pecked his jaw, "Sweet dreams."

He hummed happily and nodded off again, his hand slipping off her back.

Luna stood up slowly and placed the big sunhat over his head again. Even if he was under the umbrella it would still help him. Her goal was in sight again, the deck.

As she approached her camera was held high. A pair of ice blue eyes narrowing into a glare the second he caught sight of it. The two of them hadn't moved since she first started to film, Yuri still curled up in Jin's lap, head resting on his shoulder.

She quietly sat behind Yuri, watching Jin's annoyed stare with a smile. "How are you two doing?" Her voice was soft, the perfect tone to compliment Yuri's humming.

"We'd be better if someone wasn't filming us."

"What?!" The smaller of the two jolted upright in Jin's lap and whirled around, red faced. "You delete that right now!"

She laughed seeing how Jin tried to lean away from the sudden screeching, not able to get far as Yuri hadn't left his spot. "Relax, no one but us is ever going to see this tape. Trust me, you have Taiga to thank for that... And here I was going to share some of it with our friends and family..." She huffed, "Dirty bastard."

Yuri settled slightly but pouted, facing her now as he leaned his back against Jin's chest. The other man carefully wrapped his arms around his waist, holding him close. Jin subconsciously tilted his head to rest against Yuri's, making another sight that made her heart clench.

"I guess I have to give him some credit... he made it so no one could watch that without having been here." Jin groused about the tape again.

"What? But why is that a good thing?!" Luna pouted and shifted closer to them.

His eyes narrowed, "Idiot, like I'd want someone to see how we act on our own time."

Yuri added on, "And some of us are a little bit less confident in certain aspects of our appearances."

She glanced between the two and looked down at her body, "You could just say you don't want anybody outside of our relationship to see us in our bathing suits. While this is super cute it's also a bit on the risque side..."

Yuri averted his eyes and looked off towards the patio, watching Jiro talk with Lyca about the various sea creatures in the bucket he'd brought. His view was blocked as a head of white hair leaned in, piercing blue meeting his own teal eyes. He cleared his throat softly, "Can I help you?"

"Depends, are you going to behave like you have been or are you going to hide behind the cocky mask?"

He made a frustrated noise in the back of his throat before his head spun back to face Luna. Her hand was trailing up his thigh as she crawled up to block the man in. Pressing her body flush against his chest she draped her arms over his shoulders and Jin's. "Wh-wh-what are you doing?! You're too close!" His face heated up instantly.

Jin hummed in interest, resting his chin on Yuri's shoulder.

"I'm making sure I'm not leaving any of my ghouls out." She leaned in and left kisses from his jaw up to his chin, then to his lips. Deepening it she reveled in the soft moan he let out.

As they broke apart he whined, "You... you've been drinking..."

"You can actually taste the alcohol? I couldn't taste anything past the fruit..."

He pouted, "I hate the taste of alcohol..."

"I'm sorry. I know you do, so I'll keep my evil dirty tongue to myself." She giggled at the face he made as she pressed their lips together. His lips were slightly chapped from the sea breeze but still so soft against her own.

The deep rumble behind Yuri was the only warning they got as large fingers threaded into Luna's hair and pulled her forcibly to the side. Jin's lips meeting hers in a bruising force, dragging a moan out of her now.

Watching the two make out over his shoulder Yuri bit his lip and squirmed, testing just how trapped he was. He was stuck for sure.

Jin grunted and breathed out against her lips, "You're mine. And so are you." His head turned, the other hand gripping the back of Yuri's head to hold him still as he delivered another crushing kiss.

Luna licked her lips as she saw Yuri melt into the attention, forced to open his mouth for Jin as he tried to kiss the other man stupid. Her camera had been set on the table, facing them before she even mounted Yuri's lap. With any luck she was able to catch this whole exchange.

Breaking the kiss with a gasp Yuri whimpered and hid his face against her shoulder, his ears were turning red. "Enough... I can't... it's too much..."

Jin huffed out an amused laugh and squeezed Luna's thigh, "Can you two get up now? My leg's asleep and I need to go take a piss."

She sighed in time with Yuri's groan of annoyance. "Way to wreck the mood Jin." Slipping off the two and to her feet she scooped up her camera.

Yuri shakily followed her, "There's better ways to word that you know."

He rolled his eyes as he got to his feet, "No reason to dress it up. You know what I'm actually like." There was a silent continuation to that, 'and you love me anyway.' She knew Yuri could hear it too, the subtle thank you for loving me even if I'm like this.

"Unfortunately I do." The doctor stretched his arms and looked out to where he'd last seen Jiro. "Now where did he get off to? I have to get some vitals."

Luna laughed, "Just follow the werewolf tracks. They've been palling around all day."

"Ugh, that's harder to do than just finding Jiro." He shouted out, "Jiro! Come here so I can take your vitals!"

Jin slinked away, not wanting to deal with the interaction.

Almost instantly Jiro appeared from behind them, "You wanted to take vitals?" The tiny smirk appeared as Yuri jumped.

"Stop doing that! You could just approach me from where I can see you!" He fussed as he went to grab his bag.

Luna giggled and listened to them as she looked out at the beach again.

The mini bar now had Romeo, Rui and Haru, laughing and going about their usual. Haru already looked a bit tipsy if the lingering touches on Rui's arms were anything to go by. But the blond didn’t seem to mind it much. And Romeo was smiling again.

Ed was still dozing off under their umbrella. But beside him was Lyca, grabbing his sketch book and pencils, clearly inspired and wanting to get some rough drafts down before he lost the vision.

At the patio Alan and Tohma were joined by Jin, the man taking the chair between them. Tohma laughed at something only he found funny as the two captains acknowledged each other. Something Tohma said made both men stiffen in their seats and look in opposite directions. God only knows what the trouble maker was talking about now.

Ren and Sho were busy walking around and handing out plates of skewers and grilled seafood. The green haired man could be seen grumbling the entire way. She giggled when Sho pulled him close enough to whisper something into his ear and Ren turned red and proceeded to kick sand at him. It turned into a slow chase as they doubled back to get more plates and drinks.

Haku and Subaru were standing by the cooler and helping to pass out the drinks as the food was going out. The brunet smiled wide at Sho as he approached and they shared a fond look.

On a large rock she spotted Zenji and Towa deep in conversation about something, probably the ocean if the hand gestures Zenji was making meant what she thought. But of course Towa seemed more interested in the seaweed he was trying to weave into a crown.

Ritsu had stayed under his umbrella, reading the entire time. Something in another language again. And Taiga had crashed beside him, taking a nap... oh no actually he was cooling off. The handprint on his cheek gave it away, someone got a little too handsy with Romeo in public again… maybe one day he’ll learn.

Luca and Kaito were still under their own umbrella. Enjoying the grilled food as Kaito laughed at the shock on Luca's face at how delicious it was. Luca now also sporting renewed sunblock, it was much more obvious on his darker skin that Kaito hadn’t been able to fully rub it in.

The music from the DJ set started up, Leo having decided on his play list finally. Providing them all with some thankfully calmer tunes than she had expected. After all his usual fare was hard and fast club music with techno.

Yeah, this vacation was good. They'd have to do this more often whenever she could wrangle everyone's schedules to coincide again. Whenever the hell that would be possible. That was rarely ever unfortunately. Two in medicine, several heirs to companies, an upcoming lawyer, a published author, a super popular influencer, and that wasn’t even close to half of them! She lamented the insanely busy and hectic schedules for a moment before taking her camera and stopping the film.

You know... if she put this on the charger now she might be able to film something Taiga mentioned earlier. After all, it's not often you see 22 lovers going at it at the same time... She licked her lips in anticipation for later that night and quickly made her way back inside the resort where she could charge the camera. Her ghouls work hard, they deserve some treats every now and again.
