some dumb kid┊water balloon fight (O)

after it was all done, which was quite fast due to beau’s help, seb started looking around the wagons for some things to do. eventually, he snatched a bag of balloons and walked off towards the lake. it took him many, many attempts to try and fill them, but soon he had most of them filled up with water, a proud smirk on his face. he carried the bucket full of water balloons back towards where everyone was, eyes looking around at all of the possible targets.

seb picked up a balloon, tossing it in his hand as his vision locked onto beau. he was all done setting up his own tent and he wasn’t even by it, so he couldn’t get mad at him for the possibility of getting his stuff drenched. it would be a perfect thank you gift to him for his help with his tent.

"hey, beau!" seb called over to his older brother, a playful grin on his face. as soon as he turned around, he launched the water balloon at him, laughing when it exploded. "you got a lil something on you there, buddy." he mentioned through his laughter before making the decision to throw another water balloon at another unsuspecting victim. hopefully they wouldn’t be too pissed off.

— fred lived for any sort of rush. he was such an adrenaline-junkie, always looking for something to get his heart racing with excitement. whether it be thrills between closed doors, in quiet utterances, or thrills that were big and just demanded attention, fred lived for those kinds of moments. anything that left room for excitement always drew freddie in. the man was a stirling, after all; what did anyone else expect?

splash! the water balloon exploded against his side, fred barely even having time to react. and when it exploded, soaking his shirt, he couldn’t even find it in himself to be mad. he huffed, stretching the fabric so cold water didn’t meet skin momentarily. he turned his gaze back towards the perpetrator. god, who knew the helpless guy he carried over towards the lodge was such a little shit. a grin slowly made its way to his features, amused. that was exactly fred’s kind of company, though. the other sure knew how to have fun.

“if we tag-team i bet we could get everyone,” he pointed out as he walked closer towards the bucket, picking up a few water balloons for himself. he absently tossed it in his hand as he wandered further from the bucket, looked around for an unsuspecting victim. with a grin, he leaned back and launched the water balloon at someone he knew he’d caught off guard. then he launched another balloon directed at someone else, just begging for others to join in on it.

[align=center][div style="width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4; color: #333; word-spacing: 1px;"]the first thing he'd done when they got there was set up his own tent .  it was better to get it done and out of the way before he did anything else ,  so he could just crawl in and rest whenever he needed to ,  away from everyone else .  he was just finishing up when seb started to put his tent up ,  and as soon as he saw the first rock ,  he'd sighed and grumbled his way over to tell seb what a stupid decision he'd made -- and help him ,  of course .

when they were finished setting up the tent ,  beau watched seb almost immediately take off to find something else to do .  he rolled his eyes and brushed his hands on his shirt ,  then set off to quickly finish setting up his own tent .  once he was done ,  he didn't really know what to do .  annoy someone ?  stretch ?  aimlessly walk about until he found something better to do ?  walking seemed like the best choice ,  and so he mindlessly walked around with his hands in his pockets ,  searching for anything more interesting .

seb's voice brought him out of his thoughts ,  an eyebrow raised as his head whipped around ,  body following shortly after .  he frowned at the grin ,  and then at the balloon that was quickly launched in his direction .  usually ,  he would have at least tried to duck out of the way ,  but he stood unflinching ,  eyes closed ,  and let it hit his shoulder and POP ! ,  splashing him with water .  he licked his lips and wiped the balloon that was still stuck to him off his now wet shirt ,  and looked up at seb with a glare that slowly turned into a devilish grin ,  and then into an almost softer grin when freddie was hit with one .

he chuckled and jogged his way over to them ,  taking a balloon out of the bucket .

" i'm gonna get you back for that ,  but you're lucky i'd rather throw this at someone else ,  right now . "

seb and beau had two very different ideas of fun ,  but every once in awhile , their ideas were conjoined .  beau might have filled a bucket with water and poured it over seb's head if they hadn't been out on a camping trip ,  but pummeling everyone else with water balloons sounded a lot more fun ,  now .

beau's eyes locked on his target ,  choosing someone who had their back turned to him ,  and he threw the balloon with as much force as he could .

For anybody who knew the man, it was actually unheard of to see him passing time by doing nothing at all. He preferred getting his hands dirty, preferred being up and about rather than lounging and resting the day away.

And so, with the sound of a loud pop, followed by a crash of water, William poked his head up with curiosity, eyes dazzling with mischief. A water balloon fight - now they were talking.

Silently, William stalked closer towards the commencing game as he pulled his shirt off and tossed it aside, crouching down to collect a small handful of water balloons before he lobbed one at his brother, grinning as the water splashed everywhere. ❝ Yeah, well tag-teaming wasn’t enough to stop me from g- ❞ Before he could even finish his sentence, a water balloon crashed against the back of his head, William grunting before looking over his shoulder to see Beau.

❝ That was cruel! ❞ He argued although in his voice it was clear that he was only joking. He continued throwing water balloons around, trying to dodge others, and once he was out of balloons he chose to finally rush up to somebody, playfully tackling them.
