Beach Play - Tuesday - Period 5

The sun was shining and it was a perfect day for what Marshall had wanted to teach.

"Some people say that tanning is bad for you. Okay, they're kind of right. There's the danger of skin cancer and sunburn and sometimes you get really sweaty and gross. But there's nothing like laying out in the sun and relaxing and getting a nice tan. The sun feels good on your skin and the vitamin D is good for you or something," Marshall said. He probably should have wiki'd that or something. "And, you know, people just look better when they are tan. Correction--when they have a nice tan. Some people take it too far and turn orange. Nobody likes that. Some people can't tan."

English people.

"They burn instead. Which is why I'm insisting that you all put on sunblock today. And, for the love of god, if you feel yourself start to burn lay under one of the umbrellas I've got set out today," Marshall said, pointing to them. "So, yeah. That's what we're doing today. Lay out on towels and tan. Fall asleep and tan, talk and tan, play in the sand and tan, go in the water and tan. Whatever."

This really was the easiest class ever.

"Oh, and I brought a cooler along with soda and juice and stuff in it," Marshall said, nudging his foot at the cooler beside him. "Feel free to help yourselves."

"Exactly." Squirting some on his hand, Merlin started to work it over her back. Not at all thinking about--Thursday. At all.

Really.

Yeeeeah, neither was Francine. Because being half-naked in the warm sun with your boyfriend's hands all over you is in no way reminiscent of anything that happened on Thursday that they still hadn't talked about.

"...I think that might be a good thing."

Also the fact that they had the Relationship Talk before having the Sex Talk was in no way indicative of the fact that they were both teenage girls and thus Francine was already way less straight than she believed she was.

Merlin was very manly! Really!

Oh, shut up.

"You're--" Oh look, focused on that back there. "The swimsuit looks nice."

Nice save.

"Thanks. It's the one from the cruise. Well, one of them." Great save! "I'm what?" Or not.

"You're welcome to come by if you wanted to borrow a shirt again." Smoooooth. "If you wanted."

"They don't really fi--" Francine stopped, then looked quizzically over her shoulder at him. Very slowly. "...............Was that a come-on?"

She had to check. Compared to, say, Fred Femur or Chuck, on rather opposite ends of the scale, it actually was subtle.

"...it may have been," Merlin admitted sheepishly.

Francine tried very, very hard not to laugh.

Very hard.

Really really really very really hard.

Merlin waited patiently for her to stop, ears going red despite his best efforts.

At least it was that silent, shoulders-shaking kind of trying-not-to-laugh? Which, okay, was a bad combination with the outfit she was wearing. But.

At least she twisted around and wiped at her face, which was trying to compete with Merlin's ears and giving them a good run. "I," she said slowly, "Would love to borrow a shirt from you again. The, uh. Shirt-borrowing was the one good thing about last week."

Ahahaha so much for eye contact. "It was a pretty amazing shirt."

Merlin just turned red and nodded. "I'll... work on that not happening next time."

By the time this class was over, Marshall would think neither of them had put on any sunscreen. "It's not like I noticed while it was happening. I just meant so your room doesn't get trashed."

"I should learn to stop doing it in case Cal comes back early."

Which, you know, meant a lot of practice was needed...

"...We need to learn to remember to lock the door."

Re: Tan!

"...And distract the squirrels."

"Wouldn't locking the door take care of that?"

"There are windows," Merlin pointed out.

"...I could make you some curtains?" She couldn't for the life of her remember if he had curtains on his windows.

...nor could Merlin and he lived there. "That may help."

Francine blinked at a thought, then blinked again, then snickered a little, then snickered a lot, then buried her face in her hands.
