Okay, I was never early...never. If you told me class started at eight in the morning I would probably miss it from sleeping in. Even if by some magical chance I was awake, I would make the travel to Starbucks to get my daily coffee before going to class therefore being late. If there was a party, I was fashionably late. If I was on a date, I was at least eight minutes late. It's not like I meant to be late, I just always found something more important to do before going to class or to a party or yes, even a date. However, today was a different story. I was supposed to meet Semper at the boat around nine in the morning so we could have two whole days at sea. It was currently eight thirty and I was already waiting in the boat all ready to go.
I sat on a lounge chair on the deck of the boat, shirtless for it was already super hot so early in the morning. I hoped Semp would show. I knew he was deathly afraid of water and really had some doubts about going out on a small boat, just the two of us for our little graduation celebration. Once he got out in the water and realized we wouldn't die, we would have a great time. It had been so long since just the two of us hung out and really got away from everything. He needed it. Heck, we both needed it. We needed to really just relax and enjoy ourselves. I looked over to my bag mentally checking that I had brought all the necessary items for the two day trip. Maybe it was lame, but I planned a small romantic dinner of sorts. Yeah, I even had the stupid candles. I probably wouldn't even use them but ..well, just in case.

nobody said it was e a s y,
[/sub] it's such a shame for us to part. [/font] - - - - - -[/right] I love Sage. I love him with all my heart. But when he asked me to come on a two day cruise-type thing, I just about died. I hate the ocean. I'm fine with little bodies of water like ponds and lakes, but not the ocean, no no no no no. How could I tell my best friend/brother no, though? I had hardly seen him at all during the last semester, and now that we were both graduating, everything we knew would be coming to an end. Soon we'd both end up at the bottom of society's food chain, scraping our way along -- or at least I would. Sage was well off financially, which also made me feel guilty for going on this boat trip. I had nothing to give to help pay for it, but he seemed alright with covering the cost. I just wanted to help, so I'd have to think of a way to repay him sometime. All my stuff for the trip was packed into an old red and black hiking backpack that I took out of my old rusty truck, Mater, when I got to the marina. Slinging it over my shoulder, I turned to the docks, taking a deep breath and calming my already mounting nerves before heading down and trying to find the boat that I was going to be trapped on for a whole two fucking days. The thought was making a sour, twisted feeling rise up in my stomach as I walked along the dock, but I stopped as soon as I found who and what I was looking for. I stood like an idiot in front of the massive white boat, staring up at where Sage was lounging. But the boat wasn't what caught my attention -- it was Sage. Never mind the fact that his sexy torso was unclad -- Sage Jay Amato was early. I flung my pack around and checked the watch I had permanently attached to it, reading that it was only 8:47 AM. Looking back up, I just couldn't believe it. "M' watch must be broken..." I muttered, tapping the glass with my finger, but the dots in between the numbers were blinking and the date it had on it was correct. Utterly shocked, I shook my head, figuring that now I should get onto the boat, which was a hell of a lot harder than it seemed. Staring at the pathway/whatever it's called, I cautiously made my way over, slowly crossing the boardwalk to get onto the floating coffin death chamber thing. I could already feel the boat swaying back and forth and I almost felt myself getting sick already, but I swallowed hard and took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down. Do it for Sage. Do it for Sage. Clambering up the stairs like a giraffe taking its first steps, I eventually made it to where Sage was. "I must b' late as hell," I commented, looking back at the watch on my backpack. 8:54 AM. Nope, not late. oh let's go back to the start.

Semper attempting to board the boat was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. I pretended not to be watching, but someone that tall as Semp being afraid of some water and a boat just made me life. I guess if you thought about it, the ocean was a scary thing. It went on for miles and miles without seeming like there was an end in sight. If your boat happened to capsize, you were as good as dead. There were sharks, jellyfish, and other creatures of the sea. Not to mention you would probably die of dehydration and starvation if you weren't saved in two or three days. But something like that happening was just so unlikely. Semp couldn't stop himself from having fun just because he was afraid of a little water. He would have fun and I would make sure of that.
"You're not late at all. Actually, I think you're probably a bit early which is totally okay. That just means we can get this party started earlier." I smirked at Semp and stood up. If I were with other people I probably would have offered him a beer, but I definitely didn't want Semp to be drinking on this trip. One, I knew he was trying his hardest to remain sober and two, I wanted him to be sober enough to remember everything that happened. I wanted this to be the best two days of his life. I wanted him to forget all the troubles of senior year and just remember this one time. I knew it was unreasonable, but a man could wish right?
I walked over to the ramp and reeled it in getting ready to head off to the ocean. I brought up the anchor that was keeping us still and walked over to the wheel. "You ready? Last chance to turn back." I gave him the option, but I so dearly wished he would decide to stay here with me on this boat.
Note: OMG THAT WAS POOP!

nobody said it was e a s y,
[/sub] it's such a shame for us to part. [/font] - - - - - -[/right] I had no problem with starting the party early, but that only meant more time out on the water. Just knowing that was enough to put a knot in my stomach and make me feel nauseated, but not to the point where I thought I was going to throw up or anything. Just a bit lightheaded. When Sage started going around and pulling up the anchor, my palms were getting clammy and anxiety was beginning to set in. I turned my head so that I could look at the pier and the docks, the parking lot, Mater, the grass.... fucking hell, I was going to die. I didn't want to do this at all -- I just wanted to run and jump off this damn boat and cling to either the land or a tree, just as long as it was stable and firmly planted on the ground. But that would also mean leaving Sage behind and disappointing him. Not only that, but I would be giving into my petty fear of the ocean that many people had tried to help me get over. It would be so easy to give up right now... It took me a few minutes to realize that Sage had asked me if I was ready. I turned to look at him up at the wheel briefly before glancing back at the docks and sighing. No, I wasn't going to give into my stupid fear. I lowered my head for a moment, blankly staring at the white deck, then looked back up at Sage. "Yeah, m'ready." I answered, distracting my mind by deciding to explore what was on this screaming metal death trap boat. oh let's go back to the start.

nobody said it was e a s y,
[/sub] it's such a shame for us to part. [/font] - - - - - -[/right] Dropping my bag onto the deck, I couldn't help but look over at the edge of the massive boat. If I jumped, I could still swim and make it to shore without a major possibility of drowning. Before I realized what I was doing, I found myself creeping closer to the edge and holding onto the railing with a white-knuckle grip, just staring overboard at the water that was starting to rush past the starboard side of the boat. I could feel the blood draining from my face and my head beginning to feel light. Ripred dammit, it was such a long way down... what if the boat sank? What if it ran out of fuel and we were stranded? Oh my Ripred, what if we died out here? What if Sage fell overboard? I wouldn't be able to save him since I can't stand the ocean. But what if I fell over? I'm too heavy for Sage to do anything with, so I'd be screwed. The shore was getting farther and farther away while my sanity was straining more and more. Someone was going to end up dying. There was going to be a freak storm and someone was going to end up overboard or this whole damn boat was going to capsize and we'd both drown. I, honestly, was not looking forward to that happening. I was beginning to feel weak in the knees when I suddenly felt Sage's hand on my shoulder, so I turned to face him so as to not appear like I was going to just keel over on the spot anymore. He shook me a little bit, and though I nearly lost my balance, I probably needed it. "Y-yeah, yeah...." I replied hesitantly, nodding, obviously still panicked. "'course it'll be alright." Lie. I did not believe that. Something bad was bound to happen any moment now. I glanced back at the seemingly raging sea when Sage left, only to be hit in the side with a bottle of pills, which I looked down at. He said they were motion sickness pills, so hey, they might come in handy. I figured that they were sedatives of some sort, so maybe I could just use them to keep myself calmed down. "Thanks," I said, bending down to pick them up. "Could I jus' use these fer... sedatives? Even if I don't got an uneasy stomach?" I ask, examining the bottle labels. Maybe I would just be a pill popper for the next two days. oh let's go back to the start.
