( p much exactly what it sounds like; human twood au hanging at the beach funtimes )
Winter was finally coming to an end, and Aurum couldn't be more happy about it. For months now their little shitty swamp town had been tormented by the unpleasant chill of winter, and he had honestly been starting to get a bit of cabin fever. The blonde thrived in the sun and the warmth that it provided, and wilted whenever the sky was clouded over, amd.he had to cover himself in a hundred layers just to feel a little bit alive and not frozen solid. Now, though? Now he was finally free, because it was the first truly warm day in months, and Aurum hadn't hesitated for a second before raiding his own closet, pulling out sunscreen and his swim trunks and his surfboard. He felt exhilarated, dressed in only his swim trunks and a button up that wasn't even buttoned as he raced down the steps of his home. He called to his brother, Alfred, as he yanked open the front door, "Hey shithead! I'm going down to the shore, you better come with!" He knew well just how much Alfred tried to avoid the water, but Aurum was going to show him just how nice it could be if it killed him. Which it probably would, considering he would have to drag Alfred out into the water, and there was a good chance his younger brother would flail about until they were both pulled under. Aurum wasn't quite sure where Roy was at the moment, since the boy had been trying to be more social as of late, but he was sure the other would join him at the shore before long.
The sun was beating down on Aurum once he finally reached the shore, a crooked grin on his face as he adjusted his sunglasses. Slipping his button up off and tossing it on the sand, he gripped his board tightly, heading out for the water. It took a little bit of paddling to get out far enough for the waves to actually be anything significant, but he found his stride eventually, standing up and letting the movement of the water take him away. A happy whoop left him as he rode along the wave, before it eventually came crashing down upon him. His hair was a mess when he reemerged, having formerly been all straight and carefully kept, but now a wavy and wet drapery over his shoulders. He knew once he dried it, it would get frizzy as all hell, but he found he couldn't care that much. He lingered near the edge of the water for a moment, a wide smile on his face as he pressed his toes into the sand, enjoying the fact that his fingers weren't numb and his nose wasn't running. As he sat there with his board across his lap, he was finally broken from his reverie by the sound of other footsteps in the sand. Twisting around, he waved an arm at the familiar faces, he saw, greeting cheerfully, "Hey guys! Here to finally enjoy everything not sucking?" Truthfully, he knew that the whole of the winter hadn't been so awful. After all, he had a lot of fun building snowmen with Roy and having a huge group wide snowball fight, but he much preferred weather like this.
