Riku drove Sunshine towards the beach, careful on their shared day off not to speed and get a ticket from one of their fellow cops. Now wouldn’t that be embarrassing! There was towels and an umbrella in the back of the car, as well as a radio, wine for Sunshine and sparkling pomegranate cider for Riku, since he was driving. He was wearing swim trunks with a picture of the nebula printed on the fabric, and a shirt that said “Motherloving Star Boy” on it in gold cursive font. He grinned at his girlfriend in the passenger seat. “I’m really glad a day off happened for both of us at the same time before summer officially ended” he told her cheerfully. “I wanted to get some sun in before the good weather disappeared. And you’re the one person I want to spend it with”

"And thank God we're coming before the solar eclipse! The less I think about how it affects my hair, the better." Sunshine piped up. She was riding shotgun in his car with her blonde hair pulled back into a messy side braid. The gold locks were being swept and played with by the wind. The stars must have been aligned for both of them to take off the exact same day, but the fact that her boyfriend wanted to go with her was even more touching. She lowered her rose gold framed aviators, smiling at her royal purple bikini. It was covered by her white shorts and a loose tank top with subtle floral accents.

"If it's anything like voodoo, it'll just grow twice as strong as it normally is. Pretty sure your new illusion powers would be like constructing hard light objects, like a Green Lantern ring" He smiled at her and nodded. "You look beautiful today, by the way Sun" he commented. "I'm really glad...well...I'm just happy we got the same day off. It's been a while since we really spent time together and I'm super excited spend more time with you"

Her hair being twice as strong? What exactly did that mean? Did it mean that if she went for a haircut the scissors would break as they came down? Funny idea for sure, but then it hit her that he was talking about her powers being stronger, comparing her illusions to the Green Lantern. She chuckled at the idea. Entertaining was the best way to describe the issues she'd go with. When Riku called her beautiful, her entire face went pink. "Yeah, time away from the offices together. I don;t think joint missions count as spending time together."

"Well, technically speaking, we are spending time together on them" he teased. "But no, not good quality time just being together and relaxing. I'm so glad this happened" they arrived at the beach and he pulled into the parking lot and turned the car off before getting out, stretching and going round to open the door for Sunshine. "M'lady" he said, and winked at her, unable to keep a straight face. "Ready to have some fun in the sand and water?" when she got out of the car he went and got everything out of the back and started walking to the beach, intending to find a spot and drop everything so he could go back to the car and close the trunk door and lock the vehicle.

"Yes, but we're forced to talk about things like who killed who and how you're going to ambush the criminal," she teased back with a flip of her braid. The car pulled into a spot. Instantly they were greeted by a rolling surf against a white sand. Funny how even in the seemingly overcast days, the beach looked pristine as ever. Maybe it was the magic of supernatural folk living in the ocean. She winked in her valet's direction and stood close by, assisting in carrying whatever was starting to slip.

"Well, it's better than just not seeing each other for days and weeks on end" he smiled and was grateful that she caught the things that slipped and helped him carry all the stuff to the beach. "Where do you want to set up?" he asked her as he looked around at the gleaming beach and the pristine waves. It was breath-taking. He'd only been to the beach a handful of times with his family, they were more the 'work hard and play little' types than anything. It felt strange taking a day off, even if he knew he and Sunshine both deserved it. When they put the stuff down he went to the car and closed the trunk and locked the car, and then jogged back to Sunshine. "Let's set up and then we can do whatever you want" He said happily. Despite this feeling strange, he still was excited.

"Let's get someplace not so close to the water, but not so far where the hot sand burns," she suggested. Not that hot sand would be a problem, but after seeing the pain Omar had walking on a church floor still stuck with her. The less she thought of burning feet, the better. She unfolded one of the chairs, setting it to the direction of the green surf crashing into white foam. She reached into the beach bag and unfurled a few of the towels, abstract patterns in bright colors, and pinned them down with quickly timed chair placements. She set her aviators on her head, looking out with a sigh of relief at the placement. Her heart was beating quickly in her chest, too, much more noticeable than she was chasing down criminals. Probably because it was the second time alone.

"Sounds good to me" he looked around and picked a spot and helped Sunshine set everything up, putting the radio between the chairs and blankets and opening the umbrella and setting it up in the sand. He nodded in contentment, pleased at the way things had turned out. He reached over and took Sunshine's hand. "You went through a doozy recently" he said softly. "I really want you to enjoy yourself and not think about it for a bit okay?" Her being happy and content was the upmost important thing in the world to him right now.

Green eyes locked onto blue as Riku squeezed her hand. It was reassuring and comforting, banishing whatever traces of darkness were trying to seep back into her mind. The truth was she had forgotten most of it just by being with him. The only thing that kept haunting her was Puck's comment on both courts "being interested in her". A human with both Seelie and Unseelie powers...was unheard of. So, of course, she would probably be getting the faerie equivalent of the timeout chair. Her face broke into a smile, and she nodded wordlessly.

Riku walked towards the water, still holding Sunshine's hand. He walked until his feet were covered by water and turned to look at her. It was nice. No voodoo, no cases, no worries for now, it was all great right now. He breathed in the smell of surf and baking sand and sighed happily and squeezed her hand gently again, just happy to be alive and with her. There wasn't a need for words, this was enough. He leaned over and splashed water onto her ankles playfully.

Hand in hand, Sunshine walked alongside him. It didn't matter where he was taking her, she'd follow him willingly. He may not have used crazy love spells on her, but she was absolutely devoted. Salt and heavily smoky autumn air danced on her nostrils. A small wave tickled her toes, and she looked down. They were ankle deep in the lagoon. He splashed her playfully, and a mischievous look caught her eyes. Cupping water in her hands, she tossed it skyward, letting the seawater fall onto them and she laughed.

Riku loved how they seemed perfectly in sync. He laughed with her when she let the saltwater rain down on them and covered his head from the worst of it with an arm. He turned to her almost shyly and stepped closer. He was battling with his emotions at the moment. Dare he give in and do what he wanted? or leave it alone until it was further in the relationship? He decided to compromise and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. She was cute and kind and sweet in every way. He loved her, but couldn't say it. Not yet.

Okay, how was he able to do this predicting her every move? It astounded her in a good way. Her last boyfriend, Jack, had never been in line with her. Heck, with Jack it had been all jokes and nothing super serious. With Riku, he had literally opened up to his roller coaster of a life and vice versa. He hadn't made a crack of "kicking dad in the dick" or something childish. She felt warm pressure on her cheek, and she realized he had stolen the chance to kiss her there. A blush crept onto her face as she glanced at him, surprising him with a kiss of her own. A bit clumsy to say the least, but at least she didn't knock him over.

He was indeed surprised at the kiss on the lips that she stole, but he smiled into it and deepened the kiss. He'd never been this in sync with someone before. She was everything good that had happened to him, and he loved it. Being with her was perfect. He reached with one damp hand and stroked her hair as they kissed, because that was something that girls seemed to like, he had noticed. And he wanted to make Sunshine happy.
