The sun was high, and the island felt alive with laughter and excitement. Jayjay ran across the soft sand, chasing Rory and Ci-N, while the rest of Section E splashed in the water. I followed close behind, grabbing her hand as she shrieked and tried to pull away.
"Keifer! Let go!" she laughed, but I held her gently, grinning. "Never! You're stuck with me for today," I teased, spinning her around in the shallow waves.
We spent hours playing, running along the beach, having impromptu races, and splashing each other endlessly. Even Jayjay, normally composed, let herself completely enjoy the chaos.
Later, as the group explored the dense trails of the island, climbing rocks and discovering hidden coves, I found myself laughing at Ci-N dramatically "discovering" every little stick and shell, while Rory tried to teach Eman how to climb a tree. Jayjay's laughter followed me everywhere, and I couldn't help but steal a soft kiss on her cheek when she wasn't looking.
[Yuri POV – Teasing Ciel]
I was leaning against a tree, camera in hand, capturing the chaos of Section E. The candid shots of Jayjay and Keifer laughing in the waves, Ci-N flailing in the sand, Rory striking poses—it was perfect.
"Yuri! A picture!" Ciel's voice rang out. She ran over, trying to position herself with the ocean behind her.
"Of course," I said, lifting the camera. "But I think I need to get the perfect angle… maybe closer."
She froze as I knelt slightly, the camera aimed right at her face. "Yuri! Don't—"
"Relax," I teased, snapping a picture. "That laugh… perfect!"
Her cheeks flamed crimson, and she stuttered, trying not to giggle. "Y-Yuri! Stop teasing me!"
I grinned, lowering the camera slightly, "You're too easy, Ciel. That blush is priceless."
Her brother appeared beside her, smirking. "Oh? So my sister is blushing at Yuri now?"
Ciel gasped, hiding her face, and I chuckled, leaning closer. "It suits you… really suits you."
The teasing didn't stop there. Soon, the rest of Section E gathered around, laughing and making playful comments. "Look at her!" Rory called. "Ciel + Yuri = disaster!"
Jayjay rolled her eyes from a few meters away, Keifer shaking his head, but everyone's laughter rang through the trees, blending with the waves and the cheerful chaos of the island.
By the time the sun began to dip toward the horizon, we were all exhausted, covered in sand, wet, and smiling from ear to ear. The day had been perfect—full of laughter, playful teasing, and the little sparks of romance that made Section E unforgettable.
