You're Mine

It was Sour's idea to head over to the beach during their half day, and she had invited basically everyone they knew. Including the Rainbooms but they ended up heading to another part of the beach to take a photo shot for their school, but even if they did, it was nice to see Twilight and the others once again. Even if Rainbow Dash was a little harsh towards them, they managed to get on friendly terms. The real surprise was Sour had invited Emerald's gang of friends to come and join them. They were all fine with Emerald and Bolt, but they didn't think Shining and Colt would actually show up for this.

Shining didn't even like beaches all that much when it came to hot weather and finding a way to cool down after running in the suns for hours on end, while Colt just didn't like them in general. But it was nice seeing how they kept their comments to themselves during this, even if they could see it in their eyes how they just wanted to go home and probably play on their Xbox or something other than being here at the moment. Yet Emerald tried to make them love the beach, with the help of Bolt, but they did fail in doing so.

It was around the time everyone was getting hungry that Bolt said he would do them the pleasure and head over to a fast-food place to grab them something to eat and after taking everyone's orders, he headed over to his car to go get the food, no one could turn down free food. Some of them stayed on the beach sun tanning while they waited, while others went back into the water, some were even on their phones sitting on their beach towels.

Colt looked around and noticed how he was sitting close to Sugarcoat and the other girls, he gazed away for a quick second, noticing a lot of other cute girls. He gave them a wave and they blushed while walking away from them. Yeah, no doubt he was handsome and flirty, but he didn't have any interest in those girls he had just waved too. All his attention was moving back to the girls who had invited him and his gang to this beach day.

“Colt, come on! The water's warm!” Emerald shouted and Colt gazed over to his friend. Emerald was a beach ball and waving his arm with Sour, Sunny, and Lemon behind him. Bolt would be there, but he was out getting food. “Dude, come on already, you've out of the water enough.”

Colt shook his head. “I'm good, Emerald. Just enjoy your time in the water before the food gets here, okay?”

With a shrug, his friend went back to playing with the beach ball with the girls. Colt gazed over to Sugarcoat and noticed how she was just on her phone while Indigo was speaking with Shining. Drinking a bottle of Coke with him like old friends and he smiled, she was distracted by his friend which would give him a good chance to speak with Sugarcoat. He was going to take the chance.

He slowly moved over to sit beside her, he bite his lip for a moment before speaking. “Hey, um, you just going to spend the day on your phone?”

“Nothing else to do, and I don't really like swimming.” Sugar explained with a shrug, her eyes locked on her phone and Colt nodded.

“Ah, well, I don't really like it either. Just the thought of something touching me while I'm swimming, or just standing in water, makes me... makes me wince and shiver,” Colt sighed, moving back so his hands were holing himself up while he talked with Sugarcoat. “Tell me, how are things with your parents? They been well?”

Sugarcoat eyed him. “Yes... they have. What about your parents? Midsummer and Winter Solstice?” She remembered Colt's parents well from the start of her teenage years. As much as his father's name didn't really fit him, Winter proved to be a good name, even if he did look like he was born on the Summer Solstice instead of the winter one.

Midsummer looked what her name meant in a way. She had beautifully tanned skin, black hair smoothed like Colt's, and stunningly amazing sky blue eyes. It was her looks that made people believe she fit her name well, and most didn't know how she ended up marrying Winter Solstice. But that all passed when Colt had been born, looking much like his father but with some of his mother's looks.

In truth, Sugarcoat almost wished she had his mother instead of her own. Midsummer would gladly like Indigo and wish them the best of luck, instead of going about how a boy would much more suit her daughter instead of another girl who couldn't give her everything she had wanted. Like she wanted everything when it came to things, all she wanted was approval of her mother.

“They're fine,” Colt smiled at her. His most charming smile being saved for her, and he swore he saw her cheeks light up red before she whipped her head away. Probably not daring to look over to see if Indigo saw that move he had made on her. “Everything good between you and Indigo?”

That got her attention fast as he got a glare from her.

“What are you implying here, Colt? Are you still hung up on me even though you know I'm not going to date you? Ever.” Sugarcoat nearly growled that.

Colt held his hands up. “Hey, hey, I ain't going to ruin your relationship with her, Sugar. Honestly! But, doesn't apart of you say your mom's right about Indigo? Believing you could do better or something?”

She stopped and thought about what he had said. Another part of her... could she possibly listen to that side? Maybe he was right. Maybe there was a side she was hiding herself from, the side who was saying she could do better. The side saying she should honor her mother's wishes and just get together with Colt and end this little fight between them. Everything was beating her in the head right now.

Then she shook her head. Hell no. She wasn't going to listen to that side at all. She was perfectly happy with Indigo and wasn't going to give that up.

“There's no side of me saying that, Colt Crush.” Sugar told him, crossing her arms. “Even if there was, I wouldn't be listening to that side anyways. Besides I notice how you get looks from Sunny and basically all the other girls around in CPA, just pick one of those.”

Colt stuck out his tongue. “Sunny? No, that's like dating my sister or something. I see her as a little sister, and she even told me she sees me as a brother.”

“Just give up on hitting on me, alright?” Sugar asked before returning her attention to her phone.

By the time Bolt came back, they all sat the picnic table to eat. Bolt began speaking about how annoying this one guy was, ordering a thousand things and took forever to leave the drive through. It took awhile for him to calm down before they finished up eating and went to do their own things.

Eventually Colt got tired of being at the beach was planning on going before Bolt grabbed his shoulders and dragged him into the water, needless to say, Colt threw Bolt back into the water when his friend tried to leave. Everyone began laughing at Bolt right away before a full on fight broke out with water.

“You all are idiots,” Sugarcoat rolled her eyes. Indigo placed her hands on her hips and glare at her girlfriend. “Don't you dare think about dragging me into the water, Indigo.”

“You're no fun, Sugar,” Indigo stuck her tongue out. “At least you could try to be more fun when we're at the beach instead being on your phone.”

Lemon gave a smirk. “Ohhh... what are you looking up, Sugar? Something dirty?”

“Really, bro?” Shining blinked, unimpressed. “Your mind goes straight to the most dirtiest thing you can think of? That all you think about?”

Emerald rolled his eyes and shook his head. “No, that's not all she thinks of, Shining. It's mainly music or something to do after school.”

Without anymore words, Indigo ran over and grabbed Sugarcoat's arm and dragged her into the water. Watching her lover suck in a breath as the cold water hit her legs. Oh yeah, there was no doubt she would be paying for this later in the day. But it was worth it.

“Indigo, I swear you'll be paying for this.” Sugar mumbled under her breath.

Indigo smirked. “Yeah, right, for all I know, you're going to be the one who's going to be paying for not coming the water like we all planned on doing so.”

“....Shut up.” Sugar whispered.

Colt watched them before he felt Shining tap his shoulder and jerk his thumb for to a patch where they wouldn't be heard. The two moved over so they could talk in peace without being disturbed.

“What, Shining?” Colt asked his friend.

Shining gave a smirk. “Look, you know how tomorrow is going to be a free day for us? Meaning no school? Which would lead to us probably coming back here?”

“Uh, yeah. What's your point during this, Shining?” Colt asked once again, slowly starting to get what his friend meant before he held a hand up. “I get it now! We come here tomorrow to see if the girls are here, and if they are, we find the right moment to join them?”

“Yup, and if Sugarcoat is alone, you just go up and give her a kiss on the lips. I'll make sure the others aren't looking while you do so.” Shining nodded. “Easy as said. But harder done, but we can do this.”

Colt gave his friend a smile before rejoining them. Oh how he hoped Shining's plan would work, even if it was just a kiss he had to do, he was just going to be happy if he got to kiss Sugarcoat. But apart of him wondered what would've happened if Indigo found out.

But he was willing to risk it.
