Why're they still in here?

[Rikku's messy, though he tries to be neat for Arty, and his clothes aren't exactly straight on the hangers]

[eternitycoder]

[Artemis is totally familiar with this and goes to straighten them himself. Because he's always been very finicky like that.] The house has been my family's for a while. I have clothes in most of our 'second homes'. It meant less packing. Though obviously that no longer applies for this particular house. [He chuckles.]

[esypuo]

Yeah, we need to get you more clothes and donate the old ones.

[He laughs and kisses Arty's cheek]

[eternitycoder]

Donate them? Rikku. [Artemis looks at him with a raised eyebrow and a grin.] What ten year old wears Armani?

[esypuo]

A really lucky one?

[eternitycoder]

Well. I certainly won't argue that. [He laughs and kisses Rikku on the cheek.]

[esypuo]

So...beach time yet?

[eternitycoder]

If you want to. [Artemis puts down his unpacking and takes Rikku's hand to lead him out onto the patio.]

[esypuo]

Suit or no suit?

[There is no difference with him. You can see everything in that suit]

[eternitycoder]

Up to you. I'm not going to swim, I just want to breathe in some sea-air.

[esypuo]

No suit, then.

[He grabs their sunblock, sunshade, towels, and Artemis's big floppy hat that Rikku insisted on buying before heading out]

[eternitycoder]

Oh not that thing. [Artemis laughs, nodding to the hat as he leads Rikku out to the patio, down the stairs and out a little low-walled courtyard to the ocean.] I'm not so delicate that even sunblock is powerless to my pale.

[esypuo]

Still. You look adorable with it on!

[He has to stop and just soak in the fact that this is their private beach. In Spain.

And then he's setting up the towels and shade and stripping]

[eternitycoder]

I do not. I look like... I don't know, if I wasn't wearing a tie right now I would look like some old woman-vacationer visiting her grandchildren. [He slips out of his shoes though, and works on his socks.]

[esypuo]

Nah, you're too pretty.

[And as soon as Rikku is totally naked he runs into the ocean, laughing]

[eternitycoder]

Flattery will get you everywhere! [Artemis calls after Rikku's retreating (and very nice) ass. As for him, he's putting on the silly hat and wandering towards the water slowly, taking in the afternoon breeze and the sun.]

[esypuo]

Even in your bed?

[eternitycoder]

It will get you some things in my bed. It doesn't necessarily guarantee a spot. [He smiles and holds the hat as a breeze comes up.]

[esypuo]

Oh, come on! You know you love me~

[eternitycoder]

Of course I do. But I can't make it so easy that all you have to do is say I'm pretty and just like that-- [He snaps.] --you get laid. I have to keep things interesting.

[esypuo]

Arty? Sweetie? I've done that and it's worked. A lot.

[eternitycoder]

... 'a lot' is an exaggeration. And other things lead up to it. I don't just jump you...

[esypuo]

No, sometimes I jump you after that!

[He laughs]

[eternitycoder]

Exactly. Don't paint me as some lusting wolf devouring the young virgin--you asked for it! [Artemis laughs as well.]

[esypuo]

Aw, but what if I want you to be? What if I want to be at the mercy of a sexy master or something?
