TW: None

Sjin hadn't felt like a child in such a long time. He couldn't believe that he was literally having a water fight with the Honeydew Inc employer and employees. Sjin knew that Sips wouldn't allow that over at their work place, even on such a hot day like this. He was pretty sure even now as the sun beat heavily down on Minecraftia that his boss would be still clad in his spacesuit and fixing pipes. Hence why he was so pale! But Sjin wasn't going to waste the good weather and neither were the fellow friends at the Inc.

Sjin had already ditched his space suit simply opting for cooler clothing. Honeydew had even been persuaded to leave his golden crown and pants behind. And so the 'light hearted' battle began. Though Sjin was pretty sure Lalna was out to drown him straight away going for a headshot. Thats why Sjin took cover aiming some good shots at Lalna himself, a nice aim at Honeydew and a surprise attack on Xephos as he had his back to him. It had been the best moment shooting Xephos, to see the surprised look on his face. Of course Xephos was equally as amused yelling he'd get revenge as Sjin quickly ran away looking for cover. Thats how he ended up here.

Ducked low being a tree. Sjin checked his water gun his grin falling from his face as he realised he didn't have much water left in his gun after surprising Xephos. He quickly glanced around behind the trunk spying Honeydew Inc in the distance, everything seemed calm over there. He couldn't see anyone loitering around there. Probably because when this mini water war started Honeydew made it clear with his water gun that nobody was allowed to be shooting water at each other around the house. Sjin scouted the area seeing Lalna dart out behind one of the trees yelling "Nooo leave me alone" followed by a hysterically laughing Honeydew squirting water at his feet. Sjin stiffled a laugh not wanting to give his position away. Turning to the left he could make out a small body of water looking suspiciously innocent. He decided to chance it, gun held up with little water it had swooshing about inside the gun. He breathed a sigh of relief once he reached there. Still treading carefully taking the matter seriously. Sjin knelt down eyes still on his surroundings before he deemed it safe. It was nice and cool as well since the pool was in the shade. Filling up his water gun hearing the distant echo of laughter, Sjin grinned feeling content. He wished moments like these would go on forever. He really hated the noise machines made with all their ugly pipes sticking out everywhere. Sjin glanced at the hilly area, grassy with a peaceful feel about it. This is what Sjin liked.

However his reflective moment was short lived as he heard an excited cry of "Got you!" and then he felt himself pushed headfirst into the pool. Sjin plummeted beneath the blue water feeling the coldness wash over him. He flapped about trying to get to the surface, alarmed by the sudden attack. The pool wasn't deep so Sjin managed to break the surface easily to see a laughing Xephos double bent over clutching his stomach. "Oh god..." Xephos cried giving him the largest grin ever,"That was the best thing I have ever seen!"

Sjin grinned despite himself finding it hilarious that Xephos had managed to get revenge but instead tried to mask his amusement by rolling his eyes and replying,"Yeah yeah you got me"

"And you were so smug earlier when you got me!" Xephos exclaimed, his smile was wider than Sjin had ever seen it before as Sjin edged his way closer to him,"That was perfect and you didn't even see it coming" Xephos sighed still smiling and aimed his gun at him squirting a mesely bit of water,"What are you going to do Sjin? Get me back?"

Sjin didn't say he was, he simply raised his eyebrows, but a devious thought crossed his mind as he hunted his own gun back out the pool. Xephos immeadiately stepped back not wanting to be shot at.
Sjin held the gun up toward the sky feigning innocence,"Hey don't worry I won't shoot. I'm completely soaked so you win...just...uh yeah here take my gun" Sjin held out his gun towards Xephos. Xephos eyed him carefully, Sjin thought his plan wouldn't work with Xephos' carefulness but nevertheless he stepped forward and gripped hold of one end of the gun. Thats all Sjin needed. What Xephos didn't expect was Sjin to use his other hand to grab hold of him and pull him headfirst into the water with him. Xephos yelped in shock going under the water but Sjin was on hand to help him submerge again. Xephos spluttered, wiping back his wet hair from his face and splashing the water at Sjin's face for tricking him. Sjin just laughed splashing water back laughing loudly thrilled that his plan had worked. Sjin really did wonder where his years of childhood had gone as he got into a splashing war. It was stupid and silly but neither Xephos and Sjin cared. They were having too much fun to care about acting their age. Sjin tackled Xephos' waist pulling them both under. Xephos began inhaling too much water from laughing everytime so pushed back choking slight,"God...Sjin! You're gonna kill me" Sjin gave him a sly grin and bobbed low in the water aiming straight for him. Xephos laughed trying to swim awake but was too weak from laughing so much. He instead decided dunking Sjin would be much more appropriate. Sjin forsaw the move and grabbed his hands wrestling with Xephos, they both tried to dominate over the other. Giggling they were unable to continue as the water was wearing them out. Xephos leaned against the edge of the water against a rock still with his fingers entwined with Sjin's hands. Sjin was breathlessly smiling at him, bright eyed. Excitement etched in them. Xephos' cheeks had a tint of pink, his chest raising and falling heavily as he panted from wrestling.

"We ought to really get back to home" Xephos stated but made no movement to show that.

Sjin nodded,"I suppose we should...but whats the hurry?" He quickly moved in, closing the gap between him and Xephos, pressing his lips against Xephos'. The kiss was damp. Light and gentle. Sjin didn't expect much from it till Xephos responded kissing him back just as softly, gently moving his hand into his damp hair. Sjin hummed contendly feeling Xephos sigh against his mouth. They pulled away and Sjin blinked a little surprised at Xephos' response but he felt his lips give way into a dorky grin. Xephos snorted but just as quick grinning at him afterwards causing Sjin to laugh. Xephos gave him another quick peck on the lips before Sjin glanced up at the sky seeing that it would be best to head back. He didn't want to be out here when it got dark. He wouldn't put Xephos through danger like that since they were unharmed.

He gave Xephos a sly look swimming backwards,"Uh...race you back to Honeydew?"

Xephos considered that glancing over at their abandoned water guns and then back to Sjin, the same mischeivious look on his face,"On the count of three?"

Sjin nodded getting ready,"One..."

"Two"

"Three!" The both yelled quickly scrambling to get out the water. Clothes stuck to them awkwardly as they got out and their hair stuck up in defiance. Sjin did stop to help Xephos out over the slippery rocks by offering his hand to him. But Xephos didn't show no consideration as Xephos made it to his gun first and began squirting Sjin mercilessly.

"There's my revenge!" Xephos retorted chuckling, quickly running across the grassland as Sjin ran after him yelling at him to come back.

However there was no rush needed to get back to the factory as Honeydew took one look at their dripping wet clothes and refused them in the house. He gave them a perplexed look after they gave up trying to convince him to let them in and decided to sprawl out on the grass sunbathing the wet away,"What on earth have you two been up to anyway?"

Xephos shared a private look with Sjin and they both grinned at each other not really prepared to be sharing that little secret with anyone.

Sjin shrugged trying to control an obvious smile threatening to show, so he said simply gesturing to the water guns,"We had a water gun fight" and that was all anybody needed to know.
