Jay - Ipanema Beach, backdated to...sometime during spring break
The girls were off down the beach, playing in the surf and collecting admirers, and had left Jay and 'Berto to guard their bags and towels. Which was only fair, really, though 'Berto was somewhat uncertain about the wisdom of allowing them to wander the beach without either he or Jay to defend their virtue. They weren't terribly far away, though, and his father had sent two bodyguards to keep watch over them all. Which also meant that it wasn't really necessary for them to be guarding the bags, but saying so would have ruined their fun, which would be ungentlemanly. Which he would never be if he could avoid it.

Which meant he was sitting on a towel next to Jay, soaking up the glorious Brazilian sunshine. And possibly enjoying the equally glorious view. There was no denying that Brazil bred some very very pretty people. Though he'd be happier if he didn't have to keep glaring at people who seemed intent on approaching to try and touch Jay's wings.

"What better place to be than Ipanema in the sunshine?" He leaned into Jay and nudged him with his shoulder, warm and familiar.

Jay supposed that was true. Babies had to learn to crawl and walk and feed themselves. Coordination was learned, it wasn't something a body could just up and do fresh out of the womb. As everyone had been telling him: He needed to build muscle strength and exercise them; familiarize himself with their permanence. It was just frustrating. To be fourteen years of age and not be able to control his body. It was damn embarrassing too.

"I suppose," he replied before choking. His whole body froze up as Roberto's hands smoothed down over where his shoulder ended and his wing began. Above him his wings flailed slightly spastic.

	'Berto kept his hands in place as he ducked his head away from the flailing of Josh's wings. "Fortunately your arms and legs were somewhat smaller and less menacing, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Y-eah," he husked, holding still as his wings beat twice. The second beat strong enough it forced Jay to raise onto his forearms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'Berto tried to smooth the remaining lotion on his hands into Jay's skin so he wouldn't get it into his feathers before lifting one hand to smooth over the arch of one wing in a soothing gesture. "Am I going to have to sit on you to keep them from flying you away?" he teased, though he was actually starting to wonder a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jay dropped his face between his arms as it heated. He heard some girls giggling. They were saying something too, but it was whispered to one another and Jay didn't speak Portuguese. Well, beyond the basic niceties 'Berto has taught him. And at that, he doubted very much they were saying anything akin to 'Thank you very much for having us.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'Berto rolled his eyes and glared at the girls...who laughed again, waved at him, and sauntered away. He didn't think Jay wanted the translation. "It is not so bad, meu amigo," he reassured Jay, stroking his hands soothingly down over Jay's shoulders as his friend dropped his head onto his arms. "You will have control of them soon."

	The strain in Jay's voice was beginning to concern 'Berto and he leaned down, lowering his voice against the people nearby who were paying more attention than was polite. "Are you all right? Do you need to go home?" By which he meant his home, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jay shook his head, before pressing his brow into the blanket and soaking in the softness and warmth of the sand below. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wingbearer 2011-04-19 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Ah dunno," he replied, voice slightly husky. He cleared his throat, wings shifting and twitching under the pressure of the hand still in contact with them. "Jus'...Jus' feelin' a lil' weird is all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maybe we should collect the girls and go back to the house," 'Berto suggested gently, giving Jay's back one last gentle stroke and sitting back. "Perhaps it is the sun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shook his head. "Ain't good t' stand jus' yet, Ah don't think." He pulled his wings in and they tucked up against his back snuggly. For once settling properly in the curve of his lower back. "Besides, th' girls're havin' fun. Let's jus' lay here a while an' see what happens." He patted the towel beside him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

'Berto watched him suspiciously for a long moment, not entirely sure he shouldn't get someone to come help if Jay couldn't get up and walk under his own power. Finally he sprawled on his belly next to Jay, one hand settling at the arch of the nearest wing while he rested his head on the other arm, face turned towards him.

"All right. But you will keep speaking to me, and if you feel any worse, or look any worse, I am calling for help and we will take you home," he informed him emphatically.

'Berto yawned and sank his fingers contentedly into feathers before turning his head just enough to look down the beach for the girls.

"If you are truly not going to need to be returned to the house due to illness or heat stroke or whatever has been the issue, what do you think the girls will wish to do next?" 'Berto asked, turning back to Jay once he'd spotted them safe and not far away.

"Mmm, sim," 'Berto agreed lazily. "We shall do that." But for now hopefully they'd be content on the beach a while longer. He was enjoying the feel of heat radiating up from the sand beneath him while he basked in the sun, letting the warmth and energy soak into him all the way to the bone. "I do not think I have been truly warm since my last trip home," he murmured, stroking idly along Jay's wing.

	"Thank you for the reminder, meu amigo," 'Berto murmured, letting go of Jay's wing to rap him gently upside the head with a knuckle. "Do you also remind small children that it is time for their vaccinations soon, or that they must go to the dentist for fillings while they are playing in the park?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
