pairings: gonta gokuhara x gn! reader

warnings: non despair au fluff
word count: 1.3k
a/n: i made the reader gender neutral of you don’t mind, also first request :)
Tumblr media
It’s been a while since you and Gonta spent some quality time together. So when the two of you finally had some free time you decide to go to the lake.
You made some of your favorite sandwiches and a pitcher of iced tea. Gonta helped with cutting some fruit up, packing up a nice blanket, and placing everything neatly into a picnic basket.
The weather was perfect, warm with a slight breeze. The lake was pretty much empty besides an enderly couple occupying a bench and a couple of small families running around with their children. How can anything go wrong?
The moment Gonta heard the sound of buzzing cicadas, he was immediately intrigued. Instantly dropping the beach umbrella he was carrying and starts running towards the trees where he can study all the bugs lurking there.
You couldn’t hold back your laugh as Gonta fished out his bug catching net from his bag and begins to hunt bugs down. You pick up the beach umbrella he dropped and look for a nice spot to relax at.
You set your things near the shore of the lake. It was farther away from the small families so that you and Gonta can have some peace and quiet.
“Gonta!” you called, “I know you’re busy but can you help me set up this umbrella?”
Gonta gasps and drops his bug catching net, “sorry (y/n)! Gonta was busy looking at the bugs. Gonta will help you now!”
He walks towards you and lifts the beach umbrella with ease while you place the blanket down, adding metal stakes in the loopholes of the blanket. Gonta takes the sandwiches out of the basket, making sure you get your food first and pouring you a glass of iced tea.
Smiling you take the food, and then take a seat on the blanket. You pat the seat next to him, motioning for Gonta to sit next to you. He settles down, a soft smile on his face.
“Gonta glad that (y/n) is having fun.”
You lean on his shoulders, chewing on your food, “yeah, it’s been a while since I felt this calm.”
The two of you stayed like this till Gonta said he wanted to look at the cicadas again.
“Does (y/n) want to come?” he asks you.
You shake you’re head, “maybe later, I want to look at the lake for a bit.”
Gonta nods, “oh no worries. Gonta will catch a pretty butterfly for you!” he runs back to the trees again with his net.
The lake glistened in front of you. It was practically see through. And the weather was perfect! A swim in the lake sounded amazing right now.
“Gonta! Want to swim in the lake with me?” you called while stripping off your top.
No response, “Gonta?” you turn your head to see how Gonta was doing. He was crouching, examining a grasshopper. Gonta holds his hands out so the grasshopper can hop into his arms.
Oh well. He can always join you later after all. You strip off your pants and walk towards the lake. Digging your toes into the soft sand beneath you. Like you predicted, the water was warm.
You waddle deeper into the lake, the water going from your thighs, to your waist, to your neck. Small tadpoles swim around your ankles and seaweed graze your legs. 
I wonder if there's any lake bugs for Gonta. Looking below you, you spot a water beetle. Perfect!
You take a deep breath, plunge your nose, and dive underwater. The water beetle noticed your shadow above him and starts to swim away.
You gasped. No wait-
“ACK!” a rush of water enters your throat. You start flailing your arms, failing to keep your calm. The water burns your eyes, messing with your sight. 
Screaming, you lash out at the water, Where the hell was the surface? More water enters your throat, your vision getting hazy.
Why did you have to choose a spot near the lake where there was no one around? Why did you even decide to go on a date with Gonta to the lake?
Oh god, Gonta! What about Gonta? Would he even notice you drowning? Last time you seen Gonta he was too busy bug catching, and you know that it’s hard for Gonta to snap back to reality one he’s invested in his little bug catching sprees.
This is it, you’re going to die in the middle of a lake where no one around. With no one to help you. You’ll sink into the water due to your carelessness, and you couldn’t even see your boyfriend one last time...
--
“(y/n)! Look Gonta finally catched a pretty butterfly for you!” Gonta ecstatically ran back to the picnic blanket. knowing that you were still there relaxing.
Or so he thought, because you weren’t there anymore. 
“y/n)?” Gonta frantically looked around, but you were no where to be found. Gonta looks at the lake. He looks at the lake, and spots some bubbles forming at the surface. Confused, Gonta walks closer to the lake. A hand pops out from the water.
“Oh! SOMEONES DROWING!” placing the butterfly down, he starts sprinting towards the lake not even bothering to take off his clothes. He dives in, racing towards the helpless body desperately trying to swim upwards. The hand lifelessly falls back into the water. Gonta reaches for the hand, and pulls it upwards.
Your head pops out from the water. 
“NOOO,” Gonta screams. He pulls the rest of your body out of the water, and tosses you over his back. He starts swimming back to shore, holding your body close.
Once the two of get to shore, he takes you off his back and holds you in his arms. You lifelessly lay in Gontas arms, you’re eyes shut tight. Gonta was too scared to even open them.
“No! (y/n) please wake up!” he cries. He didn’t know what to do now, and Kirumi wasn’t here. Only Kirumi knew how to preform CPR.
“Someone help!” he pleads, tears streaming down his eyes and he pathetically held you close. 
One of the familes that were nearby and call Gonta the untimate lucky student because one of the guys knew how to preform CPR. He takes you from Gontas arms and places you down on the sand. He starts pushing on your chest for thrity seconds, then starts to pinch your nose and then breathes into your mouth.
Water then comes out of your mouth. You gasp and gag, your mind slowly starts to clear up. 
Gonta starts to cry again, accidently shoving the guy performing CPR on you away, “(y/n)! Are you okay? Are you breathing?”
Your mind was still foggy, but you were able to speak, “yes...I’m okay.” even though you almost died.
Gonta gives the man a bone crushing hug, thanking him over and over again. 
He squeaks in pain, “no problem.” Gonta pulls away, and the man looks down at his shirt which was now covered in tears and snot.
Gonta pulls you back into his arms, “(y/n), Gonta is sorry not watching you. (y/n) almost died because of Gonta.” he clenches his fist, “Gonta can never forgive himself.”
You shake your head, snuggling closer to his body so you can feel his warmth, “don’t blame yourself, I was careless. I just wanted to give you a water beetle.” You weakly raise your hand, lightly caressing Gontas cheek.
“Besides, you did save me.”
Gonta looks away, “no, Gonta didn’t even know how to perform CPR. It was the friendly guy who saved you, not Gonta.”
You raise your other hand, cupping Gontas face, “but you noticed that I was in danger. I could’ve died if you didn’t. You contributed as much as that man did.”
Tears splash onto your face, “Gonta is sorry. Gonta loves you very much, and Gonta doesn’t want to see a world without (y/n),
You pull Gontas face down and press a soft kiss onto his lips, “I love you too Gonta, thank you.”
He pulls you closer, refusing to let go. He didn’t want to lose you again. And now that you’re in his arms breathing, he now knows that your’re safe.

Summer Lovin’
Reader x Bucky
Word Count: 691
Warnings: just fluff
A/N: This is my entry for #starksmile5k – congrats!!
Tumblr media
I like summer. The warm temperatures, the abundance of ice cream trucks and stands, the sandy beaches, and the sexy sling of my boyfriend’s board shorts riding low on his hips. He insisted on bringing me to Coney Island. He wanted to show me all of the spots that he and Steve had frequented; he also loved pointing out all of the things that had changed since the 40s.
Summer also means thunderstorms; the heavy downpours that even an umbrella couldn’t cover you from. The kind of rain that makes you throw your hands up in defeat, that makes you want to dance in it. Then there are the lighter storms that make me feel soft and lazy, the kind that makes me kiss that sexy boyfriend of mine senseless while it falls around us.
Summer also means bugs, spiders, and all the mosquitoes that bite me nonstop, the one part of summer I would happily give back if I can keep all of the rest.
*Getting back to Coney Island*
“Doll, I will spend every last dime if I want to! I’m winning it for you, no matter what!” He was emphatic on this point.
“Babe! That thing is going to be the death of me! I don’t care how cute and fluffy it appears,” I pointed rather menacingly at the stuffed item he had been eyeing all day.
“Are you kidding me? The death of you?” he pulled me into his chest and pressed his lips to mine quickly. “Doll, it’s a stuffed spider. With googly eyes and a tongue sticking out. It’s not going to kill you.” He kissed me again, teasing me until I giggled.
“Fine!” I threw my hands up. “But it’s living in your room Barnes!”
With a smirk, he held onto the rings and quickly tossed them all onto the same bottle. The middle-aged man’s jaw dropped; he stared at the hint of shine on Bucky’s shoulder before handing over the gigantic stuffed spider. Bucky looked delighted in his prize and I couldn’t help but fall even more in love; he might be a goof, but he’s definitely MY goof.
Tumblr media
Three Weeks Later
“Bucky…” I whispered.
He groaned and held tight to my waist.
“Bucky…” I lightly caressed his chest.
He shifted again, his lower half somewhat at attention against my butt. I didn’t want to wake him, but I was getting a little desperate. I glanced over again one last time.
“Bucky!”
He shot up, his hair tousled from sleep, bare chested and looking sexy as hell. “What? What’s wrong?”
“In the corner. There’s something moving.”
He ran his hand over his face, still half asleep. “My sexy, confident, bad ass, wonderful girlfriend can’t handle… a shadow?”
“Bucky!” I smacked the bed hard. “I can still see it. Just check please!” I dropped my voice back to a whisper hoping it had already been scared off.
With a loud curse, Bucky swung his legs over the bed, yawned, and stretched his arms. He stomped over to the corner and poked around. I saw a flash of annoyance cross his face; he held something large between his hands.
“You woke me up for this?” He tossed the large item in his hands at me and I screamed as it hit me with a loud thwack. I closed my eyes and grimaced. I heard loud footfalls and there was a bang of the door, as it swung open.
“What happened? What’s wrong? Who do I get to kill?” Steve, Sam, and Nat all asked at the same time.
Bucky busted out laughing. I got up, slugged him good on his flesh arm, and held out the offending object. “Steve, take this thing and burn it. Destroy it. Play dodgeball with it. But please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, do not give it back to Bucky.”
I threw a look back at Bucky still laughing hard. “You. No sex for a week.” I headed out to the kitchen for coffee. Bucky sobered up quickly. “Doll! Babe! Come on!” He chased after me.
Sam looked at the stuffed spider in confusion. “Did we miss a joke?”

Ch. 1
The following storyline is one big roller coaster ride of emotions. It will have its ups and it will have its downs. It will have its OMG moments and cliffhangers. Lots of cliffhangers (how else do you expect me to keep ya coming back?) there will be angst, drama, action, mystery, and possible love. Not sure on that yet, we’ll see where it goes.      I will do my best to keep the language down. I’m not fond of using the F’ bomb, but words like bitch and asses may be tossed around. That’s about the most of it, but nothing too profane. I know that some of ya’s are under 18. So as to not get myself or you in too much trouble, I’ll do my best to keep the language in check.  Just know that this story is all over the place and you read at your own risk. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
      Roman watched Logan working at his desk in his room while leaning on his door frame. He gave him a mischievous smile "Hey Microsoft Nerd, wanna a change of atmosphere?" Logan sighed, stopped typing on his laptop and looked up at Roman "What did you have in mind?"
      "Well, I thought that maybe you could grab your car keys, a bathing suit (provided you own one) and we whisk Padre and Hot Topic off to the Beach!"
      Logan mulled this proposition over in his head; he had been working on his thesis for a while, he looked up at Roman and smiled "That sounds... actually quite enjoyable. I'll text them and ask if they would like to go to the beach with us." Roman raised his hand and chuckled. "No need, they're uh, actually waiting for us downstairs." Logan stood up shaking his head in amusement "I see. So you decided on this before asking me. Very well then, I will be downstairs in about 15 minutes." Roman let out a childish giggle "Ok," and bounced out of the doorway down the hall.
      Downstairs everyone waited as Logan got ready, excitedly chatting about the day ahead of them. "Now we all have sunscreen, right? We don't need any lobsters tonight." Asked Patton.
      "Do not worry Patton; I have packed everything necessary for a good beach day." Replied Logan as he walked down the stairs, holding a large tote bag, with his beach towel wrapped around his neck. Patton smiled "Great, and I have the cooler packed with goodies to nom on." The roommates worked together to pack the car and set off for their beach adventure.
      After a while of riding in silence, Roman slid in a Disney CD into the radio, when it started up everyone groaned. Roman pouted "Well, the silence was starting to bug me."  Virgil shook his head in annoyance "That's what earbuds are for Princey. Try using them." Logan nodded his head in agreement "I hate to say it, but I must agree, I can't focus on my driving with your music blaring and bouncing around." Roman turned off the music and pulled out his phone mumbling to himself "No one appreciates good music that's all." Patton let out an amused sigh and went back to watching the scenery pass by out the window.
      They continued to drive in silence. That is until...  "YELLOW PUNCH BUGGY, NO PUNCH BACK!!" Screamed Patton and punched Roman from behind in the shoulder. Roman rubbed his shoulder in pain "OW!!"
      "Did. Did you just punch Roman, Patton?" Giggled Virgil. Patton gave him an amused smile "Well yeah! A yellow Volkswagen Beetle was driving next to us!"
      "Had I known we were playing Padre, I would have gotten you ages ago. Well, since you took the first strike, I guess the game is on. You in Virgil?" Virgil let out a small sigh, "Sure, as long as you both promise not to leave bruises like the last time." They both laughed, "Agreed." The rest of the ride was in silence as everyone was on high alert, carefully keeping watch for any more Volkswagons. Logan nudged Roman's hand at a stop light and pointed. Roman smiled and leaned over the back seat. He punched Virgil in the knee yelling like Stitch "BLUE PUNCH BUGGY!" Virgil glanced up to where Roman pointed and back at him. "Gah. Point to you." Then from behind Roman, he saw a black Volkswagon. He smiled at Roman and leaned forward, Roman's eyes went wide, and he looked in the direction Virgil was looking in and knew what was going to happen, but before Virgil could punch him "Black punch buggy, no punch back!" laughed Patton as he punched Virgil in the arm. Roman let out a sigh of relief knowing it was Virgil who got the blow and not him.
      Logan let out a laugh "And with that Patton wins, as we have arrived at the beach. Game over."   He turned into the Beach parking lot and parked near the boardwalk.
      The four piled out of Logan's car, Virgil stretched and popped his back "Finally!". Patton gave a big smile and inhaled deeply "Mmm, smell that Ocean Breeze. Roman gazed out at the waves, "Breathtaking." Logan stretched and surveyed the beach; he points off to their left "That looks like the most optimal spot would be over there. We'll be able to see the car, and we'll also be close to the restrooms and water."
      "Not to mention in good view of the lifeguards," said Roman.
      They unloaded the car and set out for Logan's spot. Once they were all set up, Patton held up a bottle of sunscreen, "Who's first for sunscreen?!"
      Virgil sat down under the umbrella "Uh, I don't plan on stepping out into the sun. So I'm good." Patton looked down at him with his (as they so fondly named it) Dad look. Virgil rolled his eyes "Ughhhh fine."
      Logan pushed his glasses up on his nose and looked at Virgil "You know Virgil, even though you're shielded from the suns rays by the umbrella, the sun off the ocean can still affect you." Virgil was about to give Logan a snide comment, but two young women approach them. Both were holding a small stack of papers in their hand. The shortest of the two walked up to Roman and handed him one.
       "Hi, my name's Nelly, and this is my teammate Kara. We're from the Orlando Swim team, and we're holding a Sand Castle Contest. Judging is at Sunset, and the first place winner will receive $20,000 and a family pass to Walt Disney World, 2nd place will receive $10,000, third place will receive $5,000, and honorable mention will receive a family pass to a restaurant of their choosing. We hope you'll join in."
      Patton looked over Roman's shoulder and smiled at the girls "You bet! Thanks for the heads up." The girls smiled and walked away. Patton snatched the flyer from Roman looking at it. "OH MY GOSH RO WE HAVE TO DO THIS!! We're gonna have so much fun!"
    "I concur, what say ye gents, shall we join in the festivities of Sand Castles?" asked Roman with his hand on Patton's shoulder. Virgil let out a sigh "Welp; there go my plans of hiding under an umbrella. Logan, you in?" Logan smiled "Well, I do have my sketch pad with so we could come up with a game plan." Patton jumped up and down with excitement "YAY!! I know we'll come up with something amazing!"
      Roman surveyed the sand in front of them "How big should we go? I was thinking about something that maybe kids could go into?"
      Logan took out his sketch pad and stood next to Roman trying to imagine what he may be seeing; he then started to draw "Hmm, That may be difficult, however, if we added some support here like this and maybe..." Virgil came up behind Logan and gently moved him back into a sitting position under the umbrella. Then Roman and Patton joined him as they leaned over watching him draw.
      "That looks like a great start Logan. I'm going to go and start making the mud." Said Patton. Logan nodded his head, "Remember one pail of water to eight pails of sand!" Patton waved his hand to show he heard him. Virgil grabbed a huge brimmed hat from his backpack "I'm gonna go help him." and he walked over to where Patton was gathering the sand.
     Roman grabbed a pail "And while your drawing and their making mud, I shall go and look for some seashells along with some driftwood. In the rules, it says that we're allowed to use the driftwood for decoration only. How long do you think you'll be drawing up the plans? So I'm back in time to help build."
     Logan looked up at Roman, then to the sand where they were going to build and back at his pad "uh, I should be done in about fifteen minutes at the most. Before you go, could you relay that to Virgil and Patton for me please." Roman gave him a two-fingered salute "Will do" and headed off in the direction of Virgil and Patton.
      While Logan drew, a Volley Ball struck him in the back of his head, knocking his glasses off into the sand. He swore in pain and then fumbled around in the sand trying to locate his glasses. He heard someone running up to him; he couldn't see who they were. "I am so soooo sorry. Are you ok?" Came a young male voice. Logan let out a frustrated grunt "It's quite alright I was more shocked than hurt, but it seems though that my glasses have flown farther than expected."
      "Oh here, let me get them." a quick moment passed, and Logan felt a hand touch him, the hand turned his hand palm up, and he felt his glasses being placed into his palm "Here ya go." Logan gripped his glasses and put them on. The owner of the voice and his surroundings came into view "Thanks. Please be more careful next time." The young man nodded his head "Will do, my name's Thomas by the way. " He held out his hand; Logan took it and shook Thomas's hand to be polite "Logan."
       Behind them, another male voice called out. "Hey Thomas!, Stop flirting and come finish this game!" Thomas let out a nervous laugh "Uh, I gotta go. Uhm, maybe later, you and your friends can come and join us for a round of Volley Ball?"
      Logan looked at Thomas's friends and then back at the empty beach, "Thanks, but no. We entered the sand castle contest and well my one friend has big plans so that we may be at it all day." Thomas shrugged his shoulders. "Well, the offer still stands if you finish early. Bye!"
      Just as Thomas met back up with his friends, Roman walked up to Logan with his hands full of driftwood. "Who was that?" as he got close.
       "His name is Thomas. He suggested a game of Volley Ball later. I told him we might not be able to join him, as we're already committed to this contest and yet he still insists that should we finish early we should play at least one round with them.  I, however, won't participate as you know I'm more of a cross-country runner and not a ballplayer, but if you and the others would like to play a game with them, that's up to you three." He sat back down under the umbrella and finished working on his sketch.
      Roman looked in the direction of the game "Uhm they're a four-person team specs. You would either have to join in or force one of their team to sit out, but I wouldn't worry about it. That won't be for a while; we can figure things out at that time. If there's still time to play. You about ready?"
      Logan held up his drawing for Roman to look at; he was amazed how each page was detailed and thought out on how they were to build the castle. He smiled down at Logan "Do you think we could move in after we build this?" Virgil walked up behind Roman and snagged the sketch pad from him "Let me see." he flipped through the pages "This looks really cool. Hey, Patton get a load of what Logan drew!"
      Patton ran up to join his friends Virgil handed him the sketch pad "OH MY GOSH!!!!! It's amazing!!" Logan stood up and took his sketch pad back from Patton. "I'm glad you all approve. Let's start by marking out the walls."
      "uh-oh" interrupted Patton. His eyes narrowed as he looked past his friends. Virgil gave him a concerned look "What's wrong Patton?" he asked. Patton raised his hand and pointed past Logan, they all looked to see what he was pointing at "It's Devleon and his band of miscreants."
      Logan rolled his eyes at the sight of them; he turned back to his friends "We are all adults here. If they try to do something, we'll just report them." He clapped his hands to get their attention "That being said, we'll just stay a bit more vigilant so that we're ready, should they try to and do something."
      Roman put his hand into the middle of their group "All for one!" the other's caught on to his reference and put their hands in "And one for all!"
      Logan smiled at his friends "Ok, let's get to work, as I was saying before we should mark out where the walls will go. We can use these four pieces of driftwood to mark out the four corners to the castle."
      Virgil pointed over his shoulder with his thumb "We have four pails of mud filled to start the walls with, maybe we could do a fire line to move it faster?" Logan nodded his head "That's an excellent idea."
      They spent the next 2 hours working tirelessly on their castle, the base of the castle was finally complete. "ROMAN HEADS UP! INCOMING!" Yelled Patton from his side of the castle. A volleyball was flying fast towards Roman's side of the castle walls.
      Before Roman could even react, Virgil quickly snagged the volleyball in midair before it could hit. "Nice catch Hot Topic. That was a close one." complimented Roman as he helped Virgil up.
      The four friends looked around for the owner of the ball to appear. Just as they figured, it was Devleon "Hey coon face, Toss the ball back over!" he yelled at Virgil.
       "After you apologize to my friends and I and promise to be more careful," exclaimed Virgil.
       Devleon Shrugs his shoulders "I'm sorry the ball got away, but I can't promise it won't happen again. I can't control where the ball flies when we hit it." He gave them a malicious grin.
           Virgil shook his head and chucked the ball back as hard as he could. Devleon caught the ball "Ya call that a throw?" he teased and turned back to his game.
           Thomas walked up to them holding a tray of drinks "Looks like you all could use a refreshment after that encounter." The four took a drink from the tray and thanked him in their own way. "If ya want, I could stand guard for ya while you work on your castle."
           Logan smiled at him "That's really kind of you Thomas. We wouldn't be keeping you from your friends would we?" Thomas shook his head "Nah, they all went to work." The four friends chatted for a few with Thomas about the castle, then got back to work.
           Thomas watched Devleon and his friends play Volley Ball, the ball did fly their way a few more times, but with each attack, Thomas caught the ball and tossed returned it. Three hours passed, Thomas walked up to Logan "It's been about a half hour, and nothing's flown this way. I think they may have given up, which is good, cause I have to split soon. I have work in a few minutes." Logan looked at him dismayed "You should have mentioned something sooner. No need being late to work, because of us."      
           Thomas laughed "No worries, my jobs right there." He pointed over to the lifeguard tower.  "Take it easy! Peace out!" He ran off giving them a peace sign as he ran towards the tower.
           "Bye Thomas!" Called out Patton and Roman. Virgil waived "Peace out to you to Thomas! Thanks!"
           "Alright, now all we have to do is decorate," said Roman, he handed each of his friends a pail with seashells and small bits of driftwood and seaweed. It only took them fifteen minutes to decorate, when they finished, they stepped back and admired their work.
           "I'll go and find the Judges!" Exclaimed Patton. "I'll come with you" Virgil offered, and the two ran off together. "While they're gone, I'll take this side, and you take the other side so we can defend the castle from Devleon. Just in the off chance him and his friends try any more tricks, now that we're down in manpower.
           Logan nodded his head in agreement "Good idea Roman." he took off to guard his side. A few moments passed, and Patton walked up to Roman.  
           "Judging will begin in two hours; the judges say that we're 6th on their list." He looked around "Where's Logan and Virgil?"
           "Logan's on the other side of the castle keeping a lookout for Devleon. As for Virgil? I thought he was with you." replied Roman.
           "He was, but since I needed to use the restroom, he said he'd head back here without me."
           "Knowing him, he probably went to get more food for us on the boardwalk. Let's give him some time before we worry."
           Patton looked back the way he had come "Ok...."
           A half hour goes by when a teen walks up to Roman. "Hey, are you Roman?" he asks.
           "Yea, who are you?"
           "Jack. Some dude in a yellow bandanna asked me to give this to you." He hands Roman a piece of paper and walks away "Deuces!"
           Roman reads the note and turns pale "We gotta go, now." he exclaims, crumpling the note into his pocket.
           "What's up?" asked Patton, looking worried.
           "They took Virgil. He's in trouble, grab Logan and catch up." He took off running. Instead of running to Logan he called out to him.
           "LOGAN! SHAKE A LEG! VIRGE NEEDS US!" Logan came running around the corner of the castle to see his friends running away. It didn't take him long to catch up.
           "What's going on?" He asked, trying to keep up.
           "Devleon has Virgil...an.. and he's going to... to throw him in the Ocean... If...if we don't surrender our castle over to him," replied Roman between gasps of air as he ran.
           "Well, he...He can just sw..swim to shore," said Patton.
           "He can't swim." Gasped Roman "He didn't want you two to know." Patton's feet gained more speed after hearing that.
           Logan reached the Jet Ski Rentals before the other two "Two Jet Ski's please."  The owner eyed him "That'll be a hundred dollar deposit." Logan pulled out his wallet. "Here hold my Credit Card. We're in a hurry. A life is at stake."
           the owner raised an eyebrow at him "What?" Roman slammed his fist on the counter "Just call the damn cops AND GIVE US THE KEYS!!" he demanded. Wide-eyed the owner handed him two sets of keys with the numbers 8 & 9 on them. They ran to the Jet Ski's and hopped on, Logan with Patton, Roman alone and headed off to find Devleon's boat.
*On Devleon's boat*
           Devleon watched the shoreline through his binoculars, with Virgil tied to his boat with a cloth bag over his head. Virgil struggled to get free as he walked up to him. Devleon removed the bag and looked Virgil in the eyes.
           "Sorry about that, my friends got carried away. You know you really shouldn't struggle next time. Just let the kidnapping happen." Virgil looked around at his surroundings; when he realized he was on a boat, he started to panic. "What the heck man?!" he exclaimed, "I thought we were chill! Take me back to shore and let me off, I.."
           Devleon cut him off. "How about... no. I gave your friends a choice. Either you or your castle, so it's their choice, not yours." he went back to looking out at the water with his binoculars.
           "They're not going to come for me; they'll just call the cops on you and have you charged with kidnapping. Now take me back to shore, and ya know what, we'll just forget the whole thing went down. Are you even listening to me?"
           Devleon smiled as he saw Virgil's friends arriving on their jet ski's. He turned around and started to untie Virgil. "Seems your wrong, coon. Look for yourself." he handed Virgil his binoculars and pointed in the direction he had seen his friends. Virgil cautiously stood up and looked through the binoculars "I can't believe it, they’re actually trying to save me?"
           "You wanted off?" Devleon giggled "Well, off you get." Virgil turned around to tell Devleon he couldn't swim, but it was too late. Devleon hit the gas pedal, and the boat engines roared, and lurched forward, the force of the boat taking off sent Virgil flying backwards off the boat hitting his head into the water.
           "VIRGIL!" screamed his three friends as they watched him go under the water.
