AURELIA
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
She laughed, flinching slightly when he shook water onto her with a dog-like shake of his head. She might've had more of a retort for him but, it was quickly silenced when she realized he was going to actually retaliate. Her eyes widened and she pushed her hands against his chest, though the smile remained, "Nono- Milo!"
A sharp inhale through her nose was all she managed to do before he pulled her under with him this time. She opened her eyes beneath the water and she glared absolute daggers at him. The look dissolved quickly, though, because she knew she was asking for it. That smile came back, softer and tender and... bubbling, a bit, because she was running out of air. She kicked out her legs and parted from him, resurfacing with a gasp.
She paused, struck by the view as her eyes surveyed the open ocean beyond them. The way the sunrise had turned into a pastel red color, the gulls as they flew past the horizon; it all painted quite a beautiful picture.
Yet, she found that she couldn't waste much time dwelling on it. As much as it allured to her senses, she wanted nothing more than to dive in with Milo. She turned back to him with that characteristic glint in her eye. There was a little something more in her gaze this time, though. Something that you can't quite put your thumb on, but it's good all the same.
Aurelia could probably spend all day with him but, honestly, she was grateful for what she could get - and she'd make the absolute most of it. Her arms reached out to wrestle him back into the water, their laughter fading into the morning.
~fin.

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
