This was the life. Rinoa relaxed on a sun lounger, soaking up the rays. Behind her sunglasses, her eyes were closed. She could hear the waves lapping gently against the beach in the background. It was as though the dragon invasion had never happened.

A group of holidaymakers passed by, laughing and joking as they headed for the sea. Rinoa sat up to take a look around. Hmm. Maybe it was time she went for a swim. But first she needed to reapply her sun cream. She smoothed back her hair and picked up her bottle of sun lotion. Now was there anyone around who might want to help?

Irvine wasn't much for the scorching heat, more like a spring time grassy knoll or something. Peaceful scenes. However girls in bikinis and the sound of the ocean nearby had its on peace.

Sporting nothing but a pair of trunks and his hat, the cowboy relaxed in the sun, working on his tan. Obvious bruises and cuts were seen, but it wasn't anything he was going to let get the best of him.

[OOC: Irvine would apply lotion but Squall and Selphie would straight murder the crap outta him...sooo]

Of course Irvine would keep wearing the hat. Rinoa stifled a smile as she looked sideways at him, and began applying sun lotion to her arms. She was naturally pale and burnt easily. She wanted to make sure that she got a tan, not burnt skin.

"This is so much better than Narshe, huh?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my dear Rinoa, I try to find the best out of every situation," stated the lazy cowboy. However, truth be told, he did prefer it over the whole cold winds and snow of Narshe.

He tossed his hat to the side and added, "I can tell you're enjoying it," then he noticed Rinoa's lotioning up. "You need help there Rin, I promise I'll be good."

Rinoa paused, raising an eyebrow. "By 'good', you mean you won't cop a feel, right? Go on then."

She passed over the sun lotion, then swung her legs around the sun lounger, turning her back to him. Rinoa was wearing a bright green string bikini, so her back was almost bare. No ogling, Irvine. She removed her sunglasses and brushed her hair over her shoulder, watching him out of the corner of her eye.

"Why Rin, I am deeply hurt by that comment!" stated a false startled cowboy. He put the lotion into his hands and began to apply it onto Rinoa.

The entire time he felt a cold gaze on him, but come on Irvine knew better. Plus it was Rinoa...if was going to do something perverted with her he would have to answer to someone's gunblade. No thanks. The whole time Irvine was applying the lotion, he was also giving a massage at the same time, he was thinking of doing it at the time. Oh well.

"That okay Rin?" he asked

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"What, you want me to score you out of ten?" Rinoa teased him. "That's fine."

She was aware that given an inch, Irvine might grab the opportunity to take a mile, but not with her. He knew better than that, even if she wasn't sure that Squall would stop him right now.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

He chuckled at the statement and quipped, "Thank you Rinoa, and no I don't need a score. I already know from others that I'm a good back rubber." He finished applying the lotion and said, "There all done. And see I was harmless, right?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rinoa smiled at him. "Thanks. Now I can work on my tan without getting roasted. You don't need any more, do you?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

A sly chuckle came from Irvine as he added sarcastically, "Why Rinoa, I had no idea you wanted my hands all over me again, and so soon...tisk tisk...what would Squall say to behavior like that?"

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

He got a rap to the knuckles for that. "Oh, shut up. You know what, I'll let Selphie sort you out. I'm kinda jealous of you guys right now."

She paused, frowning. Not at Irvine; she was only teasing him. But that train of thought was about to spoil her mood and Rinoa didn't want that to happen. She could enjoy the beach whether Squall was beside her or not. And since she was technically single, then there was no guilt in admiring all the hot guys on the beach, right?

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine was concerned about the frown, but he didn't push it...he'd let Selphie or Quistis deal with that little problem. He did however look out and respond, "I don't know why you're jealous of us. Me and Selphie are crazy." A smile came across his face as he leaned in and whispered, "But don't tell that to her...she'd kill me."

He leaned back and lay back on the sand adding, "Rin...I swear if things were different, you'd be the angel in my eye." Course that's a pretty big if, mainly cause of well everything. But hey, he was trying to cheer her up.

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

"Aw, thank you." Sometimes Irvine said things that were really, genuinely sweet. "You and Selphie are crazy... But that's what makes you so perfect for each other."

All lotioned up, Rinoa twisted around to expose her back to the sun, determined to get an even tan. She trailed one hand through the sand lazily.

"Mmm... maybe I'll take a nap. Wake me up before I turn into a beetroot, okay?"

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Shaking his head he grinned putting his hat over his face and replied, "Nope, I think this is one of these rare days I can work on my image so that way I can be a bronzed god. You know so the ladies will notice me a little more." He chuckled at teasing her, but truthfully he wanted to relax and take it easy. Not just that, but he was more enjoying the view type of person, rather than a splashy person.

To which he was positive Selphie was.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Well the sand to Irvine got him up. He looked at her and plopped his head on top of her shoulder and asked, "You know, I can think of a lot of other things to do on this beach than build castles." He kissed her neck then fell back lying down again, and placing his hat over his face letting the sun bathe over him.

Truth be told, he did want to do something with Selphie...but that was more R rated material.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

He grinned feeling the sand on his legs as he replied, "No, I just assumed you were too busy with your sand and sun, that you forgot about little old me...so I'm here saving my strength for in case you want what I'm talking about." He chuckled under his hat, at this point, both options were tempting to him...well one more than the other of course.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

He grinned and replied sarcastically, "Well of course, I mean here it is having your soft and smooth hands digging into it touching it in places, and here I am just laying here and watching you do so."

A mild chuckle, he still felt the sand piling up...he didn't care. As long as she was enjoying herself. Course he reaaaaaalllllyyyy wanted to do something else.

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

Irvine was about to respond, but then he noticed he was under the sand and Selphie was rubbing his nose with hers. Okay, that's interesting. The cowboy finally responded, "And how would you know about bad porn, hmm? Honestly Ms. Tilmitt, I thought you were so pure and innocent."

[ladiesmanirvine.livejournal.com]

A mischievous grin came across the cowboy's face as he asked, "Oh? So are you telling me you're just as wicked as myself? My my, this is quite a shock, if I do say so myself."
