[And the sound is nice. Cheerful, as it should be. So much so that he momentarily gets lost in it, and Yuzu gets exactly what she wants. The spray of the waves soaks him thoroughly, and his own hair mats down against his head as he laughs too.
Looks like retreating to deeper water wasn't the play after all!
But getting wet is definitely the point of all of this, and he fires back his own wave, as he tries to close the distance after it connects so he can ever so lightly shove at her, like he means to push her down into the water.
He'd never, ever, actually give it his all. Even when he finally got taller than her, he's always been mindful of overdoing it, of using his size against her in such a way that might make her overwhelmed. Instead, it's something he'd rather protect her with.]
[They continue like this for a while, just being playful with one another. It doesn't take a while before she wades closer to Kazuya, making sure he's deep in the splash zone she's making for him. Admittedly, the water feels great to her skin, cooling her down compared to the sweltering heat of the summer.
Kaz might wanna protect her, but she wants to be able to stand up on her own, too. She wants to show that she can protect Kaz too, even though she's weaker and frailer and not as sturdy. She's done hiding behind everyone else, watching everyone take blows for her.
So she's giving it all her might. Pelter Kazuya with all of the water she can muster until he looks like a proper sopping wet dog.]
[It doesn't take long before that's the case. His hair is matted down his face, the extra length in the back flopping around haphazardly as he shakes his head to try and free himself of the saltwater every now and again, but it's clear that Yuzu has him on the back foot. Quite literally, as it were! She sprays him and pelts him with more and more splashes, and eventually he's laughing so hard that he can barely see, left awkwardly trying to retaliate against her sheer ferocity in which she soaks him.
It's all in good fun.
And Kazuya feels lighter than he has in what feels like an eternity.
This is what he fought so hard for.
To be normal.
To goof off with his friends.
To just be with the people he cherishes the most, because that's all he's ever wanted. It's all he thinks he could ever want.
They never should have had to worry about the lockdown.
They never should have had to worry about demons.
They only should have ever had to worry about fashion trends and where they were going for summer vacation and who was going to be buying lunch for the others.
So Kazuya laughs, free and light hearted for the first time in forever as he sputters and does his best to retaliate with his splashing until he trips, and sinks down briefly under the water for a second before he reappears, sputtering and laughing harder.]
