Stefan was nervous and it was obvious that Archer was too. As the other male reached him, Stefan felt a pang of guilt as he saw how awful the other looked. He took note of the bandaged hand and the light bags under his eyes but he smiled nonetheless and hugged him when he stopped in front of him. Another wave of guilt washed over him when Archer didn't hug him back immediately. The feeling still remained even when the other eventually relaxed and returned the embrace.


Stefan kissed his cheek and said quietly, "Not gunna lie, but you look terrible..."


Archer gave a light smile, "Yeah, I feel terrible..."


"Do you... want to rest for a bit or take that walk now?" Stefan asked. He couldn't take the guilt anymore; they had to make this right no matter what.


"We can walk now," Archer decided with a small nod, "I can sleep later..."


"You sure?"


"Yeah..."


"Well okay then. We'll go to the beach..." Stefan stated and led the way. The short walk to the beach was quiet and awkward and Stefan hated it. When they arrived, they glanced at each other and smiled a little then Stefan offered his hand for Archer to take.


"It's nice here, right?" he asked and glanced at the clear blue water of the ocean and the golden sands surrounding them.  Archer took Stefan's hand in his own uninjured one and nodded, "Yeah, it is..."


Stefan laced their fingers like he usually would and glanced ahead nervously, "So... um..."


Archer kept his gaze to the ground. "So..."


"I-I have no idea what to say..." Stefan admitted lamely, which was just perfect considering it was his fault that this mess occurred in the first place. Archer paused for a few moments then spoke. "Sometimes I feel you're only with me because you feel like I'm the best you can get..."


Feeling slightly hurt at the words, Stefan glanced over at him and replied, "No... that's not true."


Archer sighed, "I've never been a jealous person... but now... I find myself so... ugh..."


"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for any of this to happen..."


"It's just like... something spinning out of control..."


Stefan nodded; he was right and something needed to be done about it before it became unfixable. That was the last thing he wanted.


"We need to do something about it..."


Archer nodded, "Yeah but I just don't know what..."


"Me either..." Stefan paused for a moment to think about it. He could feel his boyfriend's gaze upon him and after a few minute's hesitation, he continued. "Let's start again."


Archer frowned a little, "Start again? Like how?"


"I don't want all the bad stuff to like... always be there..." Stefan said. He ignored the horrible sentence structure and continued. "So I wanna try and forget about it..."


"Okay... we could do that..." Archer said after a moment's thought.


"Because I don't like seeing you sad..."


"I'm sorry... I... I'll try to not be sad when we're together..."


Stefan shook his head, "No, that's not what I meant. I don't like you being sad. At all."


"Well when we're doing good, I'm not ever sad..."


"I know... and I want us to be good... all the time. That's why I want us to start again and forget all the crap that's happened..."


"Okay... I want that too..." Archer said with a small nod, "more than anything..."


Stefan smiled a little, "Then let's try..."



"Yeah..." Archer agreed and glanced over at him, then pulled him close to give his cheek a light kiss. Stefan smiled a little but his heart still felt heavy. He glanced down at Archer's injured hand and asked, "What did you do?"


"Had to get stitches...  smashed a mirror..." he replied quietly and Stefan sighed.


"You should really stop getting drunk alone..."


"Where was I supposed to go, Stef? I usually go to you..."


"I-I know... and I'm sorry... but we're supposed to be making things right... so..."


"Yeah... yeah..." Archer sighed and gave Stefan's hand a light squeeze, making the other blush slightly and smile a little. Stefan glanced over at him and stated, "I missed you..."


"I missed you too, babe..." Archer said with a small smile of his own. Stefan stopped walking and hugged him tightly, now feeling better about the situation. This time Archer hugged him back immediately and buried his face in his boyfriend's brown hair.


"So... are we okay now?" Stefan asked with a small smile.


"Yeah, we're okay..."


"Good..."


Archer moved away from the hug and asked, "Do you want to sit in the sand for a while?"


"Sure... oohh, can we build a sandcastle?" Stefan asked brightly and Archer nodded excitedly.


"Yeah! But I can only use one hand so you'll have to really help me."


"Of course!" Stefan agreed immediately, "It can be our castle for our Kingdom of Gay!"


"Yeah I want that!" Archer decided and hurried to find a good spot to begin building. Stefan snickered and sat beside him when they found a decent spot.


"How big shall it be?"


"Reallllyyyy big!" Archer said with a nod.


"Okay... oh! Did you bring sunblock? It's still pretty hot out."


Archer paused and Stefan could see the pout forming on his lips at the mention of sunblock. Archer glanced over at him, "I'm going to burn. And freckle. Fuck. Fuckkk...."


Stefan laughed, "Then you must wear lots of sunblock!"


"I don't have any with me right now!"


"Neither do I because I don't need a lot of it..."


"Fuck..."


"Hey relax, I have some at the hotel. We can just go and get some, it's not a big deal!"


Archer nodded and stood, "Okay, let's do that. Let's run!" Without even waiting for a reply, he turned and took off down the beach and Stefan jumped up quickly and hurried after him.


"H-hey wait!"


Archer slowed his pace and extended his uninjured hand for him to take. Stefan smiled when he caught up and took his hand happily as they hurried back to the hotel, both of them happy that everything was going to be all right.
