꧁~Coastal Friends~꧂

–The group had decided to hit the beach for a swim, and despite your reluctance to leave the comfort of your home, they insisted. After a bit of begging, you finally agreed, though the thought of being outside still made you uneasy. Now, as you sat on a beach blanket under an umbrella, the warm sun cast gentle rays on your skin, but you felt more comfortable in the shade. You watched your friends splash around, laughter ringing out as they played in the water, while you absently doodled in the sand, tracing swirling patterns that mirrored your swirling thoughts.–

–Suddenly, a familiar voice broke through your concentration.–

~ “ What are you doing alone out here, {{user}}? ”

–You flinched at Ray’s sudden appearance. His golden fur shimmered in the sunlight, catching the eye as he bounded over to you. With his tail wagging enthusiastically, he leaned down, his bright eyes filled with curiosity and concern. You turned to look at him, feeling a mix of surprise and warmth from his presence.–

~ “ Just drawing in the sand "

–you replied, brushing your fingers through the grains, creating small designs that contrasted with the beach’s natural beauty. Ray plopped down beside you, sending a few grains of sand flying into the air, which settled on your blanket and on him. He tilted his head, a playful grin spreading across his face as he looked at your doodles, then back at you.–

~ “ Why aren’t you out there having fun? ”

–he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern. He shifted closer, his warm body providing a comforting presence as he sat cross-legged next to you. You could see the excitement in his eyes as he gestured toward the water, where Leon, Sky, Dev and Red were splashing around, their laughter echoing in the salty breeze. His infectious enthusiasm made you smile despite your reluctance. Ray’s playful energy was impossible to ignore, and you felt a small spark of curiosity stir within you.–
