"I adore him... He clearly will never feel the same..." Gundham blushed like crazy, just talking about his feelings towards Kazuichi is making him flustered, "I-... How do you mortals announce this? Uhm... I-I... Would say I am in love with him.."
"..."
"... What the fuck...?"
Gundham immediately turned to Kazuichi and started blushing, "wh-why have you retreated?"
"... So~ who's this mystery guy of yours Gund-dham~" He smirked, crouching down to the sand, "you tell them but not me? I honestly thought we were friends"
Gundham just stared at the sand, messing with it, "...no one...it is merely a hallucination that you are hearing, "oh really~" Kazuichi smirked, leaning close to him, "y-yes... I'm honest..."
Kazuichi smiled and flicked his forehead, "sure you goofball!" He laughed, grabbing his soda and taking a sip out of it, "I only came back because I was thirsty, wanna join you guys?"
Tanaka nodded his head, "if it is to avoid that dangerous situation from happening again, then yes, I accept"
"Yay!" Kazuichi cheered, running towards the water.
Gundham paused and suddenly grabbed Kazuichis wrists, "Kazuichi-... I-..."
"Hm? What? Do you not know how to swim?" Kazuichi asked, "... N-No..."
Tanakas face turned red, "... I-... I am-"
"Ayo! Kazu boy! Catch?" Fuyuhiko shouted, throwing a ball at him, "woaahah!!!" Kazuichi screeched, taking a step back, landing in Gundhams arms, "..."
"Holy damn... This is just like in those romantic movies that mom used to make me watch-" Kazuichi blushed, leaning closer to Gundham, "...Should I kiss him? No.. This isn't those kinds of movies! My life isn't even a movie!"
Gundham noticed Kazuichis expression on his face and chuckled, "why are you so flustered?"

"...stop! Like you weren't blushing earlier!" Souda complained, backing up, "
"Th-That is true, but I was just curious..."
"Oh... Uhm..."
Kazuichi backed up away from Gundham and chuckled, "sorry..."
He turned to Fuyuhiko and grabbed the ball off the ground, throwing it back at him, "I'll kill you!" He shouted, "cmon Gundham! Let's hide!"
"But I did nothing wro—"
He was interrupted by getting dragged by Kazuichi.
They went inside the beach house and sat in the closet, Kazuichi covering his mouth,his knees to his chest, "shh!" He hushed, "cease your bickering he mig-"
"Sh!!" Kazuichi crawled on top of Gundham, pinning him down on the floor, he covered his mouth with his hand, trying to keep him from letting any words out his mouth.
"K-Kazuichi..." Tanaka stared at him, embarrassment appearing on his face, "huh?" Kazuichi tilted his head, until he realized the position they were in, "o-oh!" He chuckled nervously, he was in between Gundhams legs, Gundhams head in between Kazuichis arms that were pinning him down.
"H-Hey, I didn't mean i-" He was about to move away until he heard the door open, "aye! Dumbasses!" Fuyuhiko shouted, bursting in the room, "Okay, Gundham, stay quiet..." Souda whispered, crouching down, letting his body rest on Gundhams, his head resting on his chest, "..."
Fuyuhiko was looking around the room and walked towards the refrigerator that was next to the Closet they were hiding in, "sh-shit... I-I have to-. to..." Kazuichi inhaled and covered his face, trying to avoid sneezing on Gundham, "a-...achooo!"
"Huh?!" Fuyuhiko turned to the closet and smirked, "how 'bout it, you bastard!" He glared, opening the closet, only to reveal swimming gear and surf boards and surf board cases.

"..."
He looked away and walked off, "dammit..."
"How exactly did you know where to hide Kazuichi?" Tanaka asked, amazement appearing on his face, "hehe! Dunno, it just seemed right for me" Kazuichi smiled, unzipping the surf board case he was in, "here, let me get you out..." Souda giggled, unzipping the case.
"Jeez! Its hot in there!" He laughed, rubbing his side, "..."
"Kazuichi... You rubbed something off..." Tanaka murmured, lifting Kazuichis right arm and touching his waist, "dude! Stop that, don't touch me!" Souda complained, "Kazuichi... Are you applying foundation on your body?" Tanaka asked, making Kazuichi laugh, "F-Foundation? Pfft! As if! Foundation would immediately wipe off when you get wet-"
"Correct, but not water proof" Tanaka huffed, "please... Kazuichi, allow me to help, I care much too deeply for you..."
Kazuichi cringed at Gundhams saying and rubbed his stomach, "you still have your jacket with you, right?" He asked, Gundham responded with a nod, "okay... Fine then... Look..."

Monsters and Maidens
A school-bus gets sucked into a dark forest. Deadly monsters lurk around every corner. They look almost human, but they are anything but. Humanity struggles for survival. What dangers and secrets await our stranded protagonists? Chapters are posted daily. Warnings: This is a slow-burn story, answers and explanations aren't given right away. The setting is grim-dark. And our protagonists are as human as they can get. No superpowers. No easy trips. Heroes must earn their glory. Villains must earn their strength. There are 4 main characters around which the story orbits, each having their own narrative and perspective to the setting/events. AN: For anyone interested in reading ahead, I post the chapters 2-4 weeks in advance over at my Patreon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 468NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
