Sabaku no Temari | 06 | [In Person] *Totally imagine the icon is grown up, lol*

[suna_bitch]

[While everyone else was seeming to enjoy the new scenery, Temari...was not. She hadn't been anywhere near to this much water before and the cooler temperature simply wasn't agreeing with her. She'd toyed with the idea of calling Gokudera, perhaps he had something that would help her...but no. She'd be fine, she just had to get used to this.

As the ship rocked, she groaned softly as her body protested. Oh, for mercy's sake. Walking along the wall she made her way into one of the smoking rooms. She hated the smell, but it was warmer than her room.

Taking a seat in the corner, she laid her head on the table. She felt sick, she felt dizzy, and above all else...she felt cold.]

[Taking a breath, she slowly released her grip. He wouldn't let her go...she'd be fine.

Any minute now. Just releeeease the grip.

Okay. Arms are released...and she's not sinking.]

This...isn't so bad. [Mind = blown.]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[He laughs]

I told you.

[Now time to blow your mind some more. He pulls her away a little, but still keeps a firm grip on her forearms to keep her head above water]

Alright now lay back and take a deep breath.

[suna_bitch]

[Staring blankly at the silver haired male, she looks down at the water.

Take a deep breath?]

You said you weren't going to let me go under...

[Maaay be having second thoughts here.]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

You're not gunna go under, I'm teachin' you how to float right. I'm not gunna let go, I promise.

[He moves so that he's behind her, still holding her shoulders]

So, take a deep breath, relax and lay back.

[suna_bitch]

Somehow, I don't think floating will help me if I'm somehow not in a boat.

[If the temperature outside was anything to go by, she wouldn't be lasting too long in the water.

Still...he hadn't done anything to make her believe he couldn't be trusted. Taking a deep breath, she tried to lean back, her heart racing as she couldn't feel anything beneath her.]

...don't let go...

[andsuddenlydynamite]

It's good to know if you suddenly can't swim anymore, or are tired.

[He puts his hand on the small of her back to help her up, he keeps it there for a few moments, letting her get used to the feeling, then moves it away just a bit, so that it's just his fingertips lightly grazing her back as she bobs in the water.]

I told you people float.

[of course he's smirking at this.]

[suna_bitch]

[Fighting to keep from flailing as she only feels his hand on her back, she stares at the ceiling.]

Don't sound so smug...

[Was it really her fault that she didn't know people float? The times she's actually gotten a bath, she always sank to the bottom of the tub, it made sense to her.]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[and very carefully he moves so that he's just holding her her hands]

You're floatin' all on your own...

[And that is a big triumphant smile on his face. It's almost like he just WON something...]
