The sparkling didn't distract Kazuma from his greek friend, and the excitement was very, very contagious. He laughed, remembering a very strange american show he'd watched on niconicodouga once, something called Pirates of Dark Water. It had been horrible, but he could see something like this happening in it. It was rather... intriguing.
"We should take some with us..." He murmured, thinking about what this kind of treasure could do for people who needed it.

Xerxes looked at Kazuma and thought over what he said. "I think we should leave it." he said, finally, after thinking over what could happen if they took some, and if they left it. "This is treasure of a fallen world that doesn't belong in our world. Humans are greedy. I can't imagine the two of us taking this from here. We could donate it, but people would still fight about it, especially if they needed it. I can't... justify to myself giving something to one person and not another. They could easily use it for selfish reasons." he moved a hand through Kazuma's hair gently.
"Let's leave the dead man's treasure to the dead."

Dead men's treasure to the dead. Coins fell from Kazuma's hand, and he nodded. It was quite simple, really... But the hand so close to his cheek, going softly through his hair... It made him flush. He looked up, and in this light... He wasn't sure why, but Xerxes was the most handsome man he'd ever seen...
It made him want to kiss him.
No. No, he couldn't do that. Xerxes was his bst friend, and he had a boyfriend, and it would be all kinds of wrong.

Kazuma looked like a tanned god in this light, and Xerxes wondered why, even this close and unhappily dating Jason as he was, he couldn't help but run a hand over the other's face, through his hair. He wondered what those lips would feel like, under his fingers, against his lips, and he felt himself move forward, closing the distance between them. Their lips didn't meet, but they were close together, too close for it to be excused as a friendly distance...
So, Xerxes smiled and moved to put his legs in the water. "Come on, no doubt they think we drowned because we disappeared." he rested a hand on top of Kazuma's not wanting to separate from him.

So close that Kazuma could see the specks of gold in those green eyes, the beauty of them right in front of him. The asian wished he had enough courage to just reach out, to kiss him, to say that he should leave that loser, and that they should be together... But... He was crushed by worries. He was leaving in three months, it would be awkward, he didn't know if he could even HAVE a good relationship, or if Xerxes wanted him back, or what...
And by the time he even thought of all these worries, Xerxes had moved, and the moment was lost. Kazuma felt his heart clench, and he nodded, "Yeah, probably. H-Here. I'll guide you through."
It was the only chance he had, so he took it, entwining their fingers, and closing his eyes to let them get used to the dark again, before diving under.

Xerxes saw Kazuma deflate and wondered what he felt, if he thought what he-- Damn it... no, the Greek knew he was projecting his feelings, trying to justify how he felt. Besides, kazuma was leaving him. This wasn't permanent, and Xerxes was too needy to have a long distance relationship. If it was in the US, he might able to deal, but an international relationship? No... no there was no way, he couldn't do that. Ever. He cared about Kazuma too much to watch him leave.
As they slipped back into the water, their fingers laced together and Xerxes felt whole once more. His green eyes closed as kazuma's did and he took a deep breath upon Kazuma's warning and dove with him, allowing the leaner to lead him.

Swimming around rocks he hadn't even noticed the first time, Kazuma followed the light, trying to get back to the surface. He had to be quick, because Xerxes couldn't hold his breath as long as he could. He barely had time to revel in the feeling of those fingers clenched around his own.
Breeching surface, Kazuma sucked down a long breath, before smiling, and looking at the blue sky. "We made it back."
Flipping over, he turned, seeing the shore, and heading for it.

Breaking the surface just after Kazuma, Xerxes felt their hands slip apart and instinctively reached out and grabbed kazuma's hand again, pulling him over. He realized what he did, and blushed. "S-Sorry... I just wasn't oriented yet." It was a bullshit excuse and they both knew it. He didn't let go of Kazuma's hand, either.
He kept himself afloat by kicking his legs, but didn't want to go back to shore yet. "I think... we should keep it a secret." he whispered, changing the configuration of their hands so their pinkies were entwined. "What we found I mean, that it should be a secret for just us."

Brown eyes widened, and Kazuma's hair was plastered all over his face, water dripping down his shoulders. He wanted to stay like this forever...
Tightening his pinky, and nodding, he smiled, "Himitsu. Just for us." He murmured, knowing that no one would beleive them if they told anyway. And it wasn't worth it to tell. It was a good memory, one just for him.

Xerxes smiled at him, wishing that they could hold hands all the time. It just... they fit together, and he'd never felt something like this. But he knew that it was because he cared for kazuma, that they were friends and it felt like he was meeting someone with no form for the first time. He didn't care if this was the second day. He was still adjusting to having someone that was more than just a name and a message.
"Just for it." Xerxes repeated, smiling at Kazuma. He moved to be beside him, wondering if they could swim back holding hands. "Are you tired?" he asked quietly.

Kazuma couldn't help it, he blushed, and shrugged. "Not really... I can swim for a long time. Are you tired?" He didn't want to watch his friend flounder in the water. It would scare him far too much, and he didn't really want to have to swim while carrying xerxes.
Back on the shore, Jessy was having a bit of a hard time looking at Danny. He'd nearly kissed her... She knew it. And she'd wanted it. Did... Did she like him? She couldn't really tell...

"I can swim for a long time too. I do track and swim team." Still, however, he didn't want to part with him. But, it would be hard for them to swim while holding his hand. His hand slowly let go of Kazuma's and he rubbed the top of his head, but did so softly so he wouldn't drown him. "We should swim closer to shore so we don't run the risk of drowning." He put his hands out in front of him, moving back to shore.
Danny leaned back on the blanket, looking over at Eddie who was reading and kept glancing to Alan who was still hitting on a buxom blonde girl. "Do you wanna go over there and ask him what he's doing hitting on someone else in front of you?"

The blonde smiled, and shook his head, "Oh no. I was just watching Alan strike out. It's entertaining. He's quite good at the talking them up part, but he can't seem to hook them." He turns a pointed look at his best friend, then, to make a point. "You seem to have the same problem..."
Xerxes' words struck a chord with Kazuma, and he nodded, throwing himself into the strokes that would take him to shore. When his feet could finally touch sand, he set down, letting the waves soothe his sore muscles, and he smiled. "I'm kind of hungry..."
Sitting on a towel, Jessy nommed on a sandwich, while considering her options. It wouldn't be so bad to date Danny... He was nice, when he wasn't being a douche... And yeah, he didn't like her art... And he hardly ever said anything nice... But it wasn't like she had better options? But was that a reason to date someone? He wasn't so bad... Maybe she could learn to like him? Or did she already? Oh god... Finishing her sandwich, she rolled onto her side, curling her legs up. She wanted to know what to do next... Goddamit.

Xerxes smiled at Kazuma as they started to swim back to the shore. "Yeah, I'm hungry too. And I could definitely use a drink." As they swam back toward the shore, Xerxes went faster or slower depending on Kazuma's speed so that he could be at his side. He didn't want to be in front of behind him; that's not where his place was. He wanted to be at his side, to watch him grow. And he would do anything to get this chance.
Danny leaned back, watching Jessy eat. He wondered what she was thinking and he couldn't help but wonder what he wanted from her, and if she wanted him. He sighed, pulling a sprite out of the cooler and handing it to her without a word. He knew that it was her favorite, but he didn't have the balls to saw anything to her. It just... It wasn't in his personality, really. He wasn't comfortable enough with her. Not yet.

The girl sat up, taking the drink with a warm hand, cooled by the cold metal. "Thanks, Danny... You're sweet." She smiled, because he was. In these little moments, when he didn't speak, when he didn't belittle someone, he was sweet. Could she be okay with that? With his personality? Could she deal with how off-and-on his kindnesses were? She didn't know... But she smiled for him anyway.
Kazuma, meanwhile, walked back onto land, collapsing onto a towel and grinning. "Ramune would be amazing right now..." He sighed, knowing it was far away back in japan, and that he would have to settle for american sodas. "But I wonder what we have..."
