Private Finished Face The Wave

Surprisingly Kal didn't seem to be weirded out by having another guy hanging onto him. Well, Cam wasn't all bulky and stuff like guys normally were, maybe that downed the weirdness factor, and the fact that they were friends.
Cam hoped Kal couldn't feel how much his pal's heart was pounding because of this though, Cam was able to hold back the blush for now but his pulse was going crazy.
"I'm okay, my head isn't rock but it's durable."
Cam said, trying to sound reassuring, and grinned. Why wasn't Kal pulling back? Why did he have that expression? Cam observed Kal bit confused, especially when he seemed to take a deep breath. Had Cam hit some other spot and hurt Kal or something?

Cam would've never been able to predict what Kal said next. At first he was confused, what was Kal talking about? Why was he listing things he wanted to do? What did he me-?
Oh. Oooooooh...
Cam's eyes widened and he blinked, staring at Kal with slight shock, but mostly just flabbergasted. Be with Cam as in be with Cam. Cam was too smart to misunderstand that. Kal was c-, was this a confession? Cam was pretty sure it was a confession. Yup, seemed like it was a confession, or at least an admission of attraction.
Once that knowledge registered in Cam's head he blushed, and it was clear as day on his skin which was bit paler than normal because of the cool water. But who gave a fuck about that right now? Kal was basically asking Cam to...date him? Cam was pretty sure it was that. His brain wasn't working properly.

It took almost an awkwardly long time before Cam was able to open his mouth, still blushing pretty heavily, and at first he produced a few um and eh sounds before forming actual words.
"You...I...are you, uh, sure you aren't...confused? I mean, I look a lot like a...a girl, basically, so...you know. It has, uh, happened before, so...making sure."
Cam sounded real fucking smart, but his brain was refusing to ooperate with his mouth right now.

Cam had been through countless crushes, and relationships as well. Some of them were an impulse, some were after weeks or even months of pondering. Cam was the kind of person to get swept up by feelings, but with these ones, that he had towards Cam he had tried to, for once, hold back. Cam's latest relationship, or more like a crush, with the fae that had messed up his life had opened his eyes. That maybe Cam shouldn't get swept up by feelings so easily.
But what was he supposed to do when the guy he liked wanted to date him?

Cam's logic and emotions were at war, his logic telling him to stop for a minute and think clearly, analyze the situation. But Cam's emotions were basically screaming him to just kiss the guy already, what's wrong with you?!
But the war was paused when Cam, who had been waiting for Kal's respond anxiously, saw that very guy he liked lean in for a kiss. A kiss. In this case Cam's mouth and brain were in full cooperation.

Cam closed his eyes and leaned in as well, just enough so his lips met Kal's mid-way. Cam barely registered the rain, he just made a short notion of it at the back of his mind. The rest of his mind was filled with how soft Kal's lips felt. That one sensation was enough to clear Cam's head, surprisingly. He was able to think clearly again, and this time he properly noticed it had suddenly began raining. Mostly because he was less cold now, thanks to it. Cam was the one to break the kiss, and he looked at Kal, glanced up at the cloud, and looked at Kal again. And he smiled.
"What is this, The Notebook?"
Cam said and chuckled, but it wasn't said really jokingly, and the smile on Cam's face was warm and happy.
"Do you realize how hard I was holding back from saying it first? This is unfair. I want my money back."

Cam, along with all the worry and giddyness and happiness, was relieved as well. He had been holding this crush, these feelings, in for a while now and it was just...so freeing to get them out, and it was a rush in itself to have Kal confess his feelings first. That rarely happened with Cam, he was usually the assertive one.
Cam raised a brow at Kal's proposition of making the cloud heart-shaped, and he had a small sly smile on his face as he answered.
"What's the point, when I'll only be looking at you anyway?"
Cam snickered, but he meant his words and it was clear to see from the way Cam didn't look away from Kal, smiling a bit dreamily.

Cam got splashed again and he fake pouted at Kal, splashing some water back at him. But when Kal admitted he had been planning this day the whole week Cam felt a bit touched, and he flashed a happy grin
"All week, huh? Hmm, okay, I'll forgive you, but you still need to pay me back. You have no idea how hard it was."
Cam's fake pout returned, but it didn't stay for long and it melted back into that dreamy, happy smile.
"You know I'm a pain in the ass, right? I'll be a pain in the ass boyfriend too."
Cam said this half-jokingly and with the smile on his face, but he meant it, he was a pain in the ass.

"Oh please, the clouds have nothing on you."
Cam grinned, he was very well aware of the corniness of everything the both of them were saying but he didn't care. His head was in the clouds, no pun intended, and everything looked like Cam was watching it through rose-coloured glasses. Seriously, was Kal always this handsome or was it the situation?

Cam pretended to think seriously for a moment, but the grin on his face ruined it.
"I guess this confession of yours is enough as payment. It really made my day, and week, and month."
Cam laughed a bit, and did not touch the possible joke he could've made about pickles. Too soon.
"And I guess a kiss now and then wouldn't hurt."

Kal didn't fool Cam for a second, and he was snickering when Kal splashed him with water again.
"Who said I was trying to talk you out of it? There's no way I'd let you bail this soon, especially since you pulled the rain kiss on me. That was low."
Cam narrowed his eyes at Kal, but there was still a smile on his face. Cam couldn't stop smiling, and now his cheeks were really starting to hurt a bit. He wished they could stay like this forever.
But they just couldn't stay floating in the ocean forever, and Cam was getting cold despite being Kal's arms.
"You know, I could really go for some of that hot cocoa and blankets right about now. Where's my pickly steed?"
Cam chuckled, and looked over his shoulder for his board.

"A few extras? Really now?"
Cam said, and smiled bit slyly. After Kal winked at him Cam stole a quick kiss from his lips, just a peck for now, and grinned at Kal.
"I'll be charging one extra now. You should get used to it, I can get pretty clingy."

Cam was surprised by the sudden cheek kiss, seemed like Cam wasn't the only one who could be sneaky. He grinned at Kal and sent a small splash of water at him.
"Keep that up and I won't mind being a popsicle. Then my death will be on your hands."
Cam laughed, and soon after Kal pushed him away playfully after declaring a race.
"Oh, you're on, Muscles!"
Cam turned around fast and hopped back on his board. Kal was probably going to win, he didn't have the nickname Muscles for nothing. But Cam got a head start, and paddled as fast as he could with long strokes.

Like Cam predicted, Kal won their little race, although Cam didn't finish far behind. His body had warmed up thanks to the race, and he was panting a bit when he walked on the sand. Cam still had a big smile on his face as he turned to Kal.
"You know what? I think I'll show you the surprise now. It will seem pathetic in comparison to yours but I think you'll like it."
With those words Cam tugged his board under his arm and headed to their spot.
