Ruby's POV

I was jolted from my sleep by a large weight landing on my bed.

"Morning Cuntbag." Brian grinned.
"Morning Shithead." I grumbled. "You couldn't have like, perhaps woken me up with a Coffee or something?"
"Look behind you." he chuckled.
I propped myself up on my elbows and looked over at my nightstand, where a steaming cup of Coffee sat waiting for me. "Okay, thank you." I rolled my eyes, laying on my side again.
"Drink that." he said, running his hand down my side. "And then get your ass into the shower and get dressed." Brian purred, grasping my ass in a firm grip.
"Why?" I pried.
"It's a surprise." he smirked, leaning closer and kissing me softly.

It may have been morning, but the firm grasp he had on my ass was already sending sparks down south, and I bit his lip. He rolled over on top of me and I buried my fingers in his hair as he swiftly parted my lips and caught my tongue with his own. A small moan escaped my lips as my urges kicked in, and I pressed my hips closer to his, rubbing against him suggestively.

"Now, now." Brian chuckled, removing my hands from his hair and holding them down on either side of my head. "There'll be plenty of time for that later."
"But I'm Horny now." I whined.
"You can wait." he teased.
"You're an asshole." I pouted.
"You love me." he smirked.
I didn't answer, and just rolled my eyes.
"Drink your Coffee." he pecked my lips. "Shower." he kissed me again. "And wear something casual."
"Yes Daddy." I giggled.
"For the hundredth time, stop fucking calling me Daddy." he cringed.
"Then stop ordering me around." I teased.
"Just get ready." he snorted, rolling his eyes.
"Okay Daddy."
He flipped me onto my stomach and spanked my ass hard, making me yelp in surprise. "If you want me to be your Daddy so badly, then fucking do as you're told." he growled, spanking me again before he grabbed my wrists and pinned them back beside my head. "Understood?"
"Yes." I giggled.
He released me and rolled me back over. "Good girl." he smiled, pecking my lips once more before pushing himself off the bed and leaving the room.

The wind whipped through my hair and I held on tightly as Brian sped down Pacific Coast Highway toward Newport Beach on his motorcycle. He'd strapped his acoustic guitar to the bike and his backpack was over my shoulders, filled with god knows what. Brian was still being incredibly vague about this whole situation. Not until he pulled in at Newport Harbor Boat Rentals did it start to make any sense.

"You're taking me out on a boat?" I questioned, pulling off my helmet. "Are we going fishing? Because I can't stand the smell of fresh fish out of water."
"Don't be such a fucking Diva." he chuckled. "And no, we're not going fishing."

I followed Brian along the docks until he finally led me onto a small yacht. He brought the yacht to life, and then we were speeding off across the water. The hot California sun beat down on my back as I looked out across the ocean, the sunlight reflecting upon its surface and making it sparkle. I could taste the sea salt in the air, and I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The kind of calm I only ever got from being near, or in the water.

Some hours later, an island loomed up ahead, and I leaned over the bow, squinting to get a better look. Brian sped the boat toward a secluded beach, where only a few other small boats skimmed across the water, and very few other people could be seen walking along the shoreline.

"Welcome to Emerald Bay." Brian called over the roar of the Yacht's motor.
"You're taking me to freakin' Catalina?" I laughed, awestruck by the island's beauty.



Brian pulled into the bay and threw the anchor out into the water, grabbing his guitar case before helping me out of the boat. He led me out across the sand and we both sat down, watching the seagulls fly through the sky. Brian suddenly stood up beside me, pulling off his shirt and tugging off his shoes.

"I'm gonna go for a swim, you coming?"
"Brian, for the thousandth time, I can't swim." I reminded him.
"Wade then." he smirked.
I rolled my eyes in response.

Almost as soon as I'd kicked off my shoes and tugged off my own shirt, Brian had thrown me over his shoulder and was running toward the water. I squealed and beat his back with my fists, and he threw me into the water. Salt water got up my nose and I stood up, coughing as I tried to relieve myself of the icky feeling, and scowled at him.

"You're a fucking asshole." I pouted, my hands on my hips.
Brian didn't answer.
"Cat got your tongue, tough guy?" I teased, sliding my thumbs into my pockets.
"Sweet Jesus, Ruby..." he breathed.



"What?" I laughed.
"How are you the same little Emo girl I used to tease relentlessly back in the day?"
I shrugged.
"Tattoos suit you." He bit his lip as he surveyed me up and down. "And god, you're beautiful."
"You know, if you wanted me to suck your dick, you only had to ask." I giggled. "You don't need to butter me up." I turned and looked out across the ocean.



"Who said I was buttering you up?" he laughed, coming up behind me and grasping my ass. "Do I really need an excuse to tell you how fucking sexy you've become?" he growled in my ear.
"Not really." I smirked, still facing away from him.

I gasped in surprise as Brian's fingertips suddenly skimmed across my hips, flinching slightly as he brushed against the areas where I was most sensitive. He pressed his lips to my neck, and I felt that surge of warmth down below flare up again.

It was fucking ridiculous how easily he turned me on. Or maybe it was just that it had been over a week since we'd last had sex. I was starting to get antsy. I'd always had an unusually high sex drive, after all. Funny that the very trait I always gave Brian shit about, he and I both seemed to share.

I turned in his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck and standing on my tippy-toes to reach his lips. Brian lifted me into his arms, and I wrapped my legs around his waist, my fingers entwining in the small amount of hair that peeped out from under the hat and bandana he wore. I moaned as he parted my lips, desire coursing through me as his tongue found mine. I kissed him harder, pressing myself closer to his bare chest, only adding to my lust.

"Relax." he chuckled, breaking the kiss and pecking my lips softly.
"Are you seriously telling me to relax right now?"
"Yes, because in case you haven't noticed, there are people around." he smirked.
"And in case you haven't noticed, I don't really give a shit." I sniggered, leaning into his neck and nipping at him playfully.
"Fuck." He groaned. "I swear you're becoming more and more like me every day."
"Because you're a terrible influence." I teased. "Maybe I should stay away from you."
"Sweets." he chuckled. "You couldn't ignore me if you tried."
"Well, you're not wrong." I flirted, pecking his lips again.
"C'mon, let's go do something that doesn't ignite your little Nympho fire." he smiled, gently setting me back down and taking my hand as he led me back along the beach.

Brian sat down, retrieving a small leather-bound book from his backpack.

"What's that?"
"Memories." Brian smiled, turning the photo album toward me. "Look, it's you."

My sixteen year old self gazed up at me from a bed of fallen leaves.



"Oh wow... that was a long time ago."
"And again." he said, turning the page to a photo of me standing in the lake in Central Park.



"Oh my god, I was so Emo." I giggled.
"You were cute."
"Cuter than you, that's for sure." I sniggered, pointing to a goofy photo of Brian, who couldn't have been older than Eighteen at the time.



"Shut up."
"You were one goofy-looking dude back then." I teased. "You grew up nice, though."
"Thanks." he smirked.



"I remember taking that one!" I gasped, as Brian turned the page again and my eyes landed on a photo of him, Jimmy and Zacky standing in front of the bridge that led out of town. "Aww, Young Rev." I added, pointing to a black and white photograph of Jimmy, back when he used to have blonde hair that was spiked to the heavens.



"Look at you guys, trying to be hardcore in the fucking graveyard." I snorted, pointing to another old photograph I had taken.



"That was your idea."
"Maybe so, but you guys look so awkward."



"Oh my god..." I breathed, spotting the photo I had taken of the boys after they'd played their first show at Chain Reaction. "I think that was the last time I saw you guys before..."
"You left..." Brian finished for me.
"I'm so sorry." I frowned, looking up to meet his eyes. "I'm sorry I left without a word."
"You came back." Brian smiled, his hand cupped the side of my face. "All that matters is that you're here now."
"Thank you for bringing me back." I smiled.
"Just don't leave me again." he sighed, kissing my forehead. "Seriously."
"I promise." I said, my lips curling into a small smile.

Brian turned the page to a couple of photos that looked more recent.



"That was our first Warped Tour." he stated.
"I wish I'd been there." I commented.
"Why don't you come this year?" he suggested. "We leave in a couple of days, you could come on the road with us?"
"Seriously?" I smiled.
"I mean it." Brian reflected my smile with his own. "It'd be great to have you along for the ride."
"As long as Larry's okay with it, I'm in."
"Larry can suck my dick, you're coming." he sniggered.

He turned back to the photo album in his lap.

"Ahh, this-" he tapped a photo of he and the guys in a brightly lit hallway. "That was our first headlining show, just a couple of months before we got back in touch."



"You were amazing on TRL the other day." I said. "You've improved so much."
"Thank you." he smiled.
"It was kind of sexy." I flirted.
"Just kind of?" Brian challenged, leaning closer to my face.
"Yeah." I teased.
"And what classes as sexy in Ruby's world?" he purred, setting the photo album aside and leaning over me as I laid in the sand.
"Not this shit." I laughed, pulling the hat and bandana off his head. "This, though..." I bit my lip, threading my fingers into his long hair.
"Anything else?" he asked, leaning down to kiss my neck.
I sucked in a sharp breath. "Tattoos." I breathed, grasping his brightly decorated shoulders.
"Yeah?" he whispered into my ear. "Why's that?"
"Because they make your arms look amazing..." I murmured, my breaths becoming ragged as I lightly dragged my nails up and down his spine.
"You know what else is amazing?" Brian spoke.
"What?"
He ran a hand down my side. "This little curve in your waist." he whispered. "That wasn't there a few years ago."
"Thank god for puberty, right?" I chuckled.
"Damn right." his hand slid up my stomach and he grasped one of my breasts firmly in his hand. "And these."
"You're a guy, of course you love my boobs." I teased.
He flipped us over so I was on top of him, and grasped my ass firmly. "I like this more." he smirked, groping his way in between my legs.
"I thought you didn't wanna play because there's people around?" I reminded him.
"Who said I was gonna play with you?" Brian teased, flipping me back onto my back. "I get just as much enjoyment out of teasing you." his dark eyes watched me as he slowly kissed his way down my chest.
My eyes rolled back into my head as he kissed my naval. "Fuck, Brian..."
He slid his hand down my inner thigh. "It's fun watching you squirm." he chuckled. "You really are Horny today, aren't you?"
"You're an asshole." I whined. "It's been forever."
"It's been like, a week." he snorted.
"After I hadn't had sex for like, six months." I grumbled. "And then you came along all grown up and sexy and I-"

He shut me up as his hand roughly brushed between my legs, making my breath catch in my throat. My chest rose and fell with my heaving breaths and I bit my lip as I felt myself pulse with desire. I squirmed beneath him again, and he leaned down, pulling back the cup of my bra. He lightly dragged his teeth over my nipple, and I closed my eyes as I exhaled deeply. My fingers tangled themselves in his hair again as he began to tease my nipple with his tongue, until it stood firm and awake.

"Syn..." I breathed.
"There'll be no sinning on this beach." Brian chuckled, suddenly pulling away and sitting back up.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I growled. "You tease me to the point where I'm pretty sure I'm gonna explode, and then you leave me hanging?"
"Like I said." he smirked. "It's fun watching you squirm."
"You're an asshole."

The sun was setting as Brian and I roasted marshmallows over a fire pit we'd made. I couldn't remember the last time I'd eaten roasted marshmallows; it made me feel like a little kid again. Brian pulled his guitar out of its case and tuned it, before playing a familiar tune;

"When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's amore..." he sang.
"You're a fucking dork!" I laughed.
"C'mon sing along." he encouraged.
I rolled my eyes, but sang along anyway; "When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine, that's amore..."
He stopped, and began silently gazing at me.
"What?"
"Your voice just gets better every day." he smiled.
I mirrored his smile with one of my own; "Thank you."
"You're welcome." he began to play again. "There's no way you won't know this one."
I listened until it clicked in my mind, and began to sing; "You don't want me, no, you don't need me. Like I want you, oh, like I need you..." I looked at him as I continued; "And I want you in my life, and I need you in my life..."

Brian stopped playing, setting his guitar down in the sand. He leaned over and cupped my face with one hand, kissing me softly. His eyes pierced mine as he drew away, and I felt warmth spread through my chest, not between my legs, for a change. He licked over his lips, and I saw something flash in his eyes that I'd never seen before...

Notes

I'm not big on date type things in fanfiction, but, I got a cheesy side to myself, admittedly. Few and far between and not overly fucking romantic vomit-inducing is more my style. I just figure ya'll would appreciate a lil fluff after all the bullshit, and well, this came into my head the other day and I had to do it. Also, those tattoos were a bitch to edit on, but, I just wanted to give ya'll a couple of cool-lookin visuals. THE SHIT I DO FOR YOU, APPRECIATE.

If you've ever watched The OC, this chapter was inspired by this scene:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duUAQTCcnN0

I actually get a lot of my inspo for this story from The OC, and I highly recommend watching the whole series if you want more ideas for A7X fics as the entire show is of course, based in Orange County.
