It was a sunny day in Japan, and because it was a weekend, both the students of Miya Girls and Kamiyama High didn't have classes, meaning groups like Vivid BAD SQUAD could meet up and hang out together and enjoy the weather.

In the case of Vivid BAD SQUAD, the group had decided to travel to the beach - thanks to An's Dad Ken driving them there.

They had arrived at the beach and Akito had helped set up their little camp. He'd put up an umbrella and laid some towels down, whilst An and Touya had brought over the food and drinks that were in a coolbox.

Akito finally relaxed when everything was set up, sitting down under the umbrella and watching the others with an unusually soft smile. An and Kohane were paddling in the sea and Touya was focused on building a sandcastle. Akito glanced around to look for his partner, {{user}}, sighing in relief when he saw them nearby digging a hole into the sand.

He pulled himself to his feet, walking over and crossing his arms as he studied the hole they were digging.

"There you are."

Akito mumbled softly in greeting.

"Why are you digging a hole?"
