[OPEN] so alive.

Charlie pushed her orange hair out of her face, looking over at Mat sitting in the sand. He nodded towards the water and she groaned.

"And if the current drags me under?" She asked.

"You die. Don't worry. I'll go get your dead body." He said with a smile and she frowned.

"You aren't funny, Mat.. It's no wonder your boyfriend found someone else. I'm surprised he took you- WAA!" She yelled, daring across the sand as he ran after her. He reached out to grab her and she squeaked, starting to run the other way. "MAT! STOP! AH!" She screamed, smiling as she collapsed in the shade under a tree, hiding her face in her arms. He reached over, pulling the string on her bikini top and she blushed, reaching behind her to tie it.

"Stop that!" She scolded him.

Tyler bounded across the beach as he spotted Charlie, a smile playing on his lips. Blue eyes watched the other guy, and he could tell he wasn't human, dropped into the sand by Char and gave her a sloppy kiss on the forehead. Jacob followed a ways behind, they hadn't all planned on coming, but Shawn had wanted to come hang out. He was on Jacob's back, Cole trailing beside them, kicking sand, face down.

They didn't approach the other two, giving them space to hang out instead. Jacob plopped down in the sand, helping Shawn sit beside him. Cole wandered off, looking at shells as Tyler smiled. "Wolf can't live without his pack," He teased sheepishly.

But they were all broken in their own ways, he knew. Their fathers death in that accident had torn them apart. If anything, they were just lone wolves, seeking the attention, familiarity, of another broken spirit by their side.

Tyler collapsed in the shade. "It's hotttt," He complained.

[charlie annalise richards]

"Tyler!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around him. Mat shook his head, laying back in the sand. She watched the other three, laughing a bit as Tyler fell back, complaining about the heat.

"It's the beach, goofy. It's supposed to be hot. That's why you don't wear a lot of clothes, Mat." She turned her head over to Mat and he shrugged.

"I don't look as good in a bikini top and short jean shorts as you do, Char." He said and she laughed, climbing onto Tyler. She kissed his nose, her orange hair falling into his face. She pushed it back, sitting up on his hips.

"You wanna go swimming? I wanna go swimming." She said, playing with his hair.

"I-"
"He'll go butt naked if you ask!" Jacob called, and Tyler scowled. "You did it too, Jake!" He huffed, smirking as he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm up for it, yeah." The water was probably freezing compared to the heat. He eyed Mat curiously again, something clicking in his head. "Hey you're Dylan's..boyfriend?" He had talked about him once or twice, never really spoken of him. Tyler had just seen a few pictures when he stole his phone one time. Dylan had screamed at him until he was in near tears when he brought it up.

Well, being dead hadn't ruined him completely, it seemed.

[charlie annalise richards]

"Shirtless will do." She said with a smile, tugging on Tyler's shirt. She got it over his head, and looked over at Mat when he started to talk.

"Boyfriend, boy toy, boy thing, fuck buddy. Whatever you wanna call it." He said with a shrug, and Charlie threw a shell at him.

"Watch your mouth!" She scolded, pointing a finger at him.

"Fuck you! I'm not a fucking angel and I'll fucking say fuck as fucking much as I fucking please. I'm a grown fucking man. Fuck." He retorted, picking up a shell to throw at her.

"MATHIEU DARREN BLANK, I SWEAR IF YOU THROW THAT SHELL AT ME I WILL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!" She said, throwing another one at him. He tossed one at her, and she reached over, plucking him on the forehead. He grabbed her wrist, watching as she grew dizzy. He let go of her and she laid down on Tyler's chest.

"I'm taking you to hell with me, babe." He said, folding his hands under his head.

[tyler deschon gryffon]

Tyler watched them in amusement, dusting sand off his chest, though it became a faint glare as Mat grabbed her. He ran his fingers through her hair, glaring. He himself was probably stuck between heaven and hell at this point.

He eyed Mat warily a moment longer, and finslly shook his head and looked away. "It was just a damn question you two, jeez."

He rubbed at his arm.

[charlie annalise richards]

"No cursing." She mumbled, slowly sitting up. She swayed dizzily before getting to her feet. She ran a hand through her hair, then leaned over, taking Tyler's hands.

"Come on. I wanna swim." She said, tugging his hands "If you don't come, I'll go steal Jacob. He'll swim with me." She teased, smiling down at him. She had no interest in any of the others. Mat leaned up, pulling the string of her bikini top again. She let go of Tyler's hands, covering her chest.

"Mathieu!" She scolded, turning away from them to tie the strings again.

"Nuuuh. Charliiiee." Mat complained in an annoying voice.

[tyler deschon gryffon]

Tyler smirked, getting to his feet. "Psht, Jake won't swim cos it's colddd," He teased, glaring at Mat as he pulled on her bikini strings.

He worked his jaw in annoyed silence, waiting for her patiently before taking her hand, dusting himself off. "I'm in jeans," He complained, undoing them and sliding them off with a smirk, left in his boxers.

"No one wants to see that!" Jacob called tauntingly.

[charlie annalise richards]

"Oh, um.." She looked away, trying to hide the blush on her cheeks. She hadn't seen a guy in boxers, let alone the guy she liked. Se ran a hand through her hair, then turned and wiggled her butt at him.

"Well, I'm in jeans too." She said, smiling over her shoulder at him.

"Take 'em off." Mat said and she glared at him.

"No." She said stubbornly, crossing her arms over her chest. "That's.. not lady like."

"Who give a fuck?" He grumbled. "You're gonna start like, chafing. Get rubby-rashes and crap."

"So? I heal faster than you anyways, meany head. And besides, its just shorts, they aren't rubbing anything. And youre gay anyways. The only person who should be worried about my rubby-rashes is Tyler." She said and started out towards the water, pulling Tyler with her.
