The Beach

Dan: Darren are you going to tell me what this is all about?

Daz: Nope.

*ferrets around in the boot of his car*

Dan: I get this mysterious call right in the middle of a studio session asking me to meet you down here after work and you won't tell me why?

Daz: No.

*Darren shakes his head for emphasis*

Patience my dear Jonesy, patience. You'll find out soon enough.

Dan: This wouldn't happen to anything to do with that interview you did the other day would it?

Daz: *trying hard not to blush and becoming incredibly engrossed in neatening the folds of the blanket he has slung over his arm*

Umm, what interview would that be Jonesy?

Dan: You know full well what interview…oh never mind.

*watches with a knowing smile as Darren closes the boot of his car and they start walking towards the beach*

Daz: *after a lengthy pause*

Hey, I can be daring!!!

*pouts childishly*

Dan: *smiles smugly*

Ahhhh...I was right...and I know you can…

Daz: *pouts some more*

So why are you bringing this up?

Dan: Hey, can I help it if I'm jealous?

Daz: *raises an eyebrow*

You mean you're jealous that I haven't seduced you somewhere daring?

Dan: You mean more daring than my hotel room?

*pouts*

I know you can...and have the ability to do so...so why haven't you?

Daz: Oh, really?

*nervous smile*

But Danny, dearest…what makes you think it was me doing the seducing on the firestep?

Dan: Ooooh…submissive…

*licks his lips slowly*

Daz: *must.resist.urge.*

Dan: *gives world's most sexiest look*

Daz: *gives in and shyly takes Daniel's hand in his, hoping he won't pull away*

Dan: *smiles slightly but doesn't react*

Daz: Hmm, is the lack of response a good or bad thing?

*wraps fingers round properly just to make sure, relishing the firmness of his hand*

Dan: Why are you afraid of showing me affection outside of making love?

*threads fingers through Darren's, squeezing gently*

Daz: Because…well…you don't seem like the type of guy who likes to be publicly affectionate with another man…

*returns the pressure, gently and comforting. It's a reassuring feeling*

Dan: *smiles at Darren and pulls him closer*

You know I love you...So where are we going?

Daz: Let's just say I have discovered this secluded bit of beach…

Dan: *gets amused expression on his face*

Oh yeah, how secluded?

*enjoying watching Darren trying his best*

Daz: Very secluded....

Dan: Now that sounds very appealing…

Daz: Oh and look, I just happen to have a nice thick blanket and some candles...

Dan: Oooh! Aren't you lucky you brought those along?

Daz: Got some organic red wine as well...bummer no glasses.

Dan: *pops the cork and drinks from the bottle then offers it to Darren*

What a pity...

Daz: *takes a swig and savours it, hands it back and leads Daniel down to a sheltered spot beside an overhanging breakwater*

Dan: *follows eagerly*

Daz: *lays out blanket and motions for Dan to sit down, while he sets out dozens of candles and lights them*

Dan: *sits down and stretches his long legs out in front of him*

Nice spot...

Daz: *smiles back, coming round and sitting astride his legs, taking another swig of the wine*

Yeah I think so.

Dan: *raises an eyebrow and wiggles legs slightly*

Comfy?

Daz: Yes thank you

*shuffling up slightly so he is sitting in Dan's lap*

Dan: *grins evilly and grabs Daz's butt*

You're right, this is comfy...

Daz: *places a firm hand on Dan's chest*

Sooo - how have you been? How is the band coming on?

Dan: *raises an eyebrow in surprise*

I've got my hands on your ass...you've got your hands on my chest, and you're asking how the band is coming on!?!?!?!?!

Daz: Well I like to take an interest in what you are doing Dan.

*playfully rubbing a hand just ever so lightly in small motions over Dan's chest*

Dan: *looks down at Darren's hands*

Well, if you keep up with that, you'll be taking part in what I'm gonna be doing...
