The Irregular's Children (Tower Of God, Khun X Bam Fanfiction)

Chapter 5: Time for Holidates

Rak is holding as much as he can on Baam's shirt.

Rak: Slow down, turtle!

Khun chuckles.

Khun: But I thought you preferred us to be fast and turtles are fast in the water!

Khun is driving a jet ski with Baam behind him, securely holding onto Khun's waist to ensure they remain balanced while they move forward amidst the breathtaking blue waters and refreshing ocean breeze. They are not alone on the water as Endorsi is driving another jet ski, accompanied by Anaak, and Hatz and Shibisu are following behind on yet another jet ski with Hatz at the helm. The water splashes around them as they glide towards their destination.

The sun is up high and shining brightly already as they're on their way to the resort and it feels like it's burning his skin. He got concerned as Khun's got a white complexion and he might get sunburns easily.  So he looked at him from behind. But the bluenette in front of him doesn't seem bothered by the heat at all.

Despite the scorching heat, Khun's skin remained ice-cold. Baam observed his neck and noticed that Khun wasn't sweating at all. He couldn't help but marvel at Khun's delicate skin, which seemed impervious to the sun's heat. However, as he gazed into Khun, he felt a strange sensation surge through him, and he quickly averted his gaze. He couldn't help but question himself: was it appropriate to look at Khun this way and from such a close distance?

He turned his head away and loosened his grip slightly on Khun's waist. Khun sensed the change in his position and turned his head to the right to look at Baam. As he did, their faces drew close, just an inch apart. Baam flinched and felt a sudden thumping in his chest. His cheeks began to burn, not because of the sun, but because of the proximity of their faces. He could feel the warmth radiating from Khun's breath, which made him feel more nervous.

Khun: You okay, Baam?

You're not still sleepy, are you?

Baam: Ohh, no, I'm okay, Khun.

He smiled shyly and Khun smiled back and turned his head to face the ocean again as he spoke.

Khun: Hold tight or you might fall.

Don't worry, we're nearly there so don't sleep now for now.

Baam held him tighter again and Khun smiled.

As Baam faces Khun's back, his hair sways elegantly with the wind, revealing the nape of his neck as it nearly brushes against his face. It carries the refreshing scent of mint and ocean breeze.

Baam is back in his thoughts and realises something strange. Why was he feeling nervous around him? He had never felt this way before. Maybe it was because they were always too busy with other things, and now he had a chance to observe him closely. But he couldn't shake the feeling that something was not right and he couldn't help but wonder if it was even appropriate. He glanced over at him again, unsure of what to do next.

As Baam kept his gaze on the lightbearer's back, he couldn't help but admire how effortlessly cool he looked. Suddenly, his heart started pounding in his chest, intensifying with each passing moment. Just as he tried to compose himself, the sound of Khun's voice made him flinch involuntarily.

Khun: See, the island is now in sight!

Baam's eyes were redirected to the ocean, and the island came into sharp focus as they approached. With mounting excitement, they powered the jetski towards the resort island. Upon arrival, they immediately noticed the name of the resort emblazoned on a wooden arch covered with heart-shaped leaves, situated near the docks.
