Concept: taking a road trip, on the way, they have been to many hotels, most having pools, how ever, on a particularly hot day, they make a stop at a hotel, and this one is close to a local beach, winter brings it up that water that lacks chlorine probably be better for them, and that's how they spend a entire day out on a beach, just doing their own thing. Rose and winter however, spend the day building a massive sand castle.
wholesome content/good vibes ahead (also rose x winter fluff, because I'm a sucker for writing fluff for this ship)

Rose yawned, her joints sore from sitting for so long, the sun dipped low, casting red and orange hues over the small city. winter stepped out not long after her, her shadow cast over the ground, a bag over her shoulder and her and a pair of sunglasses pushed up onto her head. Andrew, John and Jaylen are also here,just the 5 of them. Of course, Amy was driving them because none of them have drivers licenses yet. Rose turned to Andrew "thanks again for letting me come with, it's nice to be away from the same old town ya know?"
"your right rose, it's nice to get away from home sometimes" winter cut into the conversation, agreeing with rose. Andrew had this look in his eyes, that said
'let me speak, you Moron'.

-time skip-
Bringing theirs stuff to their rooms, and getting settled for the night, Rose collapsed onto one of the beds, her eyes closed. Andrew and John are in the room to the left of theirs, Jaylen and Amy are to the right of them. A feeling of peace washed over winter, the night sky casting its gentle light into the room. Winter walked over to the bed quietly, pulling back the covers and climbing in. Almost as if she was on autopilot, she pulled Rose to her, humming. Rose turned in her sleep, now facing winter. Winter quickly fell asleep, the comfort of the silence and Rose's warmth caused her to fall into a peaceful slumber.
Hours tick by, and soon the sun rises into the sky, it's early light shining into the room, replacing the dark and pale light of the moon..

-Time skip-
The day was in full swing, after eating, they planed out what they we're going to do, winter Suggesting that they visit that local beach, rose seconded that idea.
And the plan was made.
.....
The warm sand under their feet, the water lapping at the sand. Rose stepped towards the water, the sun warming her skin, "It's perfect out for swimming, and what do ya guys think?" Winter places her hand on Rose's shoulder in an attempt to get her attention, the two of them locked eyes. "You're thinking what I'm thinking right?" Rose asked. "You know me so well, Rose, we have work to do!"
"Hell yes! Sand castle time!" Rose responded, acting like an over excited child.
Rose ran over to the car, grabbing a bag of plastic buckets and tools for sandcastle building. "Told you that bringing them would be a good idea!" Winter chirped, her eyes focused on Rose, "I'm glad I brought them then! We have work to do!"
Somewhere closer to the water, John and Andrew are talking, and just messing around. -
An hour passed like seconds, the sand castle that rose and winter are building is extremely detailed, and jaylen is generally interested in how they got all of that done that quickly, "hey! Y'all come over here and help us!" Jaylen made her way over,
"Anything I could help with?" She asked, taking note of Rose who was working on a tower, her body covered in sand. "Do mind if you can grab me some shells? I need them to finish the center tower?" Jaylen only nodded, headed off to grab the shells. "Thanks jaylen!" Rose called, focusing back on the tower.
—————
Hours slip by like grains of sand, and rose steps back, her shoulders red and slightly sun burnt, but she called for everyone's attention, "It's Complete! Hours of work!" (See image, it looks something like this)

"Holy sh-" Andrew said, he hadn't even been paying any attention to rose and winter.
"Hey rose, you good? Your shoulders are really burnt, maybe we should head back to the hotel"
winter said, walking over to rose, "hey look at me you dork." Rose was pulled into a brief kiss.
"Bold words winter, bold words" rose stuck her tongue out at winter.
