i'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Smiling crookedly down at her, Everest nods conceedingly. "No, we can't." He agrees. Though no part of him was unhappy about the way he felt for the Remedy, certainly he felt as though loving her was entirely out of his control. If it drowned him, if it doomed him, he was helpless to do anything other than to be thankful for the moments he'd been able to spend at Isla's side.
Looping his arms around her in turn and drawing her near, Ever presses a kiss against the top of her head as his fingers radiate starburst patterns across her skin. Wanting to whisper an endless stream of I love yous into her hair, instead, the aviator just thinks them, with all of his being, as he tightens his arms around her.
"Mm, I'll have to think about it." He chuckles dryly before reluctantly pulling back from her. Even with her bathing suit discarded on the ground and her makeup now a dark waterfall down her cheeks, Everest was forced to pause, utterly undone by her beauty. Exhaling softly, he swallowed, eyes lowering apologetically, as he turned to switch the water off.
"I'll meet you outside, when you're ready." Unable to leave without kissing her one last time, Ever shimmied into his shorts before doing his best to stealth out of the women's side of the changing rooms.
