Chapter Text
Team Akuta and a few other people from the cleaners decided that it was time for a long deserved break from.. Everything? They’ve spent the entire year working on restoring beaches, neighbourhoods, and some cities in their area. Gris was the designated driver who wasn’t really designated, but, he can get you where you needed to be in a few pieces, Good thing they had 2 other drivers so you can pick your poison. Enjin who will blow your eardrums from music and laughter alone, and Follo, who is a pretty new driver that gets a little too stressed behind the wheel. They originally had 3 drivers but, Gris respectfully denied the idea of him driving, he said Enjin and Follo were better drivers, they ALL knew he was lying though. He said he figured it was a learning experience for Follo so he can figure out how to deal with his overwhelming stress. Eishia, and August decided that they would just meet them at the beach, and Zanka chose to go with his friend” Jabber. So, it was Amo, Rudo, Riyo, Dear, and Guita in Follo’s car. While Gris, Semiu, and Bro were in Enjin’s car.
“I got this!” Follo nervously stated, as he caught the car keys Enjin gracefully threw at him. He couldn’t believe his father figure would use a long drive as an escuse for him to learn. Especially with the lives of a few teenagers AND kids at sake.
“We are so finished..” Guita whispers, but clearly not low enough
“Who said that!??” A bulging nerve appeared on his forehead as he snapped his neck to face the backseat. Rudo was a bit distracted, considering Amo put her head on his shoulder as she thought to herself.
“Amo thinks she is just saying what we are all thinking” Amo avoided all eye contact with the front seat, hoping she wouldn’t catch Follo’s eyes.
Follo sighs in disappointment for the lack of trust his own team has in his driving skills “Look, it wasn’t my choice I promise, blame Gris and.. Just blame everyone at this point.
“Alright! Everyone buckle up, especially you Dear.” He grumbled as he chewed on his pacifier, he wanted to be with Bro, but he didn’t want to be around all of the old heads. The car started and they were on the road!
Meanwhile,
“Hey Semi, tell me if you can predict our deaths in the next 10 minutes, k?” Enjin starts the car and follows after Follo (Alliteration is funny) . Semiu chuckles to herself as she reads one of her.. ”explicit”novels in front seat.
During the first 4 minutes of the ride, Bro looked like he was about to explode. Left hand gripping on the overhead car handles while tearing off his nails on his right hand with his teeth.
Enjin looks at Semiu, looks back at Bro, then looks back at Semiu again, flexing his eyes and mouth. Semiu gets the memo because she opens her mouth to say something, but gets cut off abruptly. “I’m worried about Dear, he’s always by my side every minute of the day and I just hope him and the other kids get along, I feel bad for forcing him to interact with too much people at once, and I.. I just feel guilty.”
“I get what you mean man, you just have to let them do their own thing, I bet he’s fine, they will take care of him.” Gris pats him on his shoulder and continues to watch Follo on the other side of the road. Cleary their feelings are mutual. “Are you ever worried about Follo? I know he’s already 19 and he’s starting to drive and take care of himself.” At this point, Bro stopped holding on for dear life, and looked relaxed for the first time in this entire car ride. “I’m always worried about Follo, but that just means you love em.” Worry is a way of showing love you know. Sometimes you just have to let them make mistakes and learn on the way” “Very well said Gris! Zanka and Riyo are the same exact way. I may love them to death, but letting them be free shows you how much they can grow.”
“Jabber, I swear to GOD If you don’t get away from me right now, I’m going to shove-“ Jabber laughs gleefully as she puts her hands up in “ defeat” and moves a centimetre at most, away from Zanka.
“Zan-Zan!” You shouldn’t get so flustered with me, is it because of what i’m wearing? You can’t stay focused, huh? Jabber teased. Dragging her long, charmed covered nails over the front of Zanka’s one piece swimsuit. Jabber was wearing a thin light purple bikini that outlined her hips, thighs, and dark skin perfectly. She had tan lines on her v line, on the ends of her bikini top, and a sliver butterfly piercing inside her belly button. She looked Divine in simple and stunning clothing. Zanka couldn’t say the same for herself. She was wearing a black one piece with greyish blue on the sides because she was too insecure to wear something like Jabber. She feels guilty for covering up the bikini that her girlfriend had made for her with a simple one piece swimsuit. But, she just doesn’t have enough confidence. Jabber doesn’t care, hell, she thinks Zanka always looks beautiful and stunning and strong and elegant and.. Jabber would go on if Zanka didn’t stop her all of the time. “It’s not because of that, Jabber, even though your …indecent bikini..” she glanced at Jabber for a brief second, cleary flustered. “It doesn’t mean anything. I’m mostly distracted by the fact that you keep touching me!” Zanka looked frustrated, cheeks flushed, sweat dipping off her face from the hot heat of the car, and just way too stimulated.
“Okay, I’ll leave you alone Zan.” Jabber pouted and looked out at the window, looking down at the work the cleaners have done from the past few years, the air is clear and pollution is nowhere to be found where they currently are. She lets out a sigh.
“ You can do whatever you want when we get out of this car, Alright?” Jabber turns her head towards Zanka and bites her lip a little bit.
“ for real? Like for real, for real?” Jabber is giggling at the thought of Zanka letting her kiss her all over.
“I’ll even turn you into a sand mermaid, and I’ll rub sunscreen on your back.” Zanka turns to look at Jabber as she desperately tries to fan herself off. Jabber lets out a gasp and has to resist the urge to hug her, she needs to respect her girlfriend’s space! Right, super easy. Zanka loves when her girlfriend has little stars in her eyes when she gets excited.
Fu fell asleep next to Zanka while laying on the Window in the backseat, he lost a game of Rock-paper-scissors with Momoa, so he had to sit near the weird couple, while she gets to listen to music in peace, not fair. Cthoni had to drive because Zodyl had other “important work” he needed to complete, so it was just Momoa, Cthoni, Fu, and the couple.
