[defendure]

Pretty much. But it does remain when I'm gone, so...distraction or exit strategy.

[ He does drop his hands now, kicking at the water a bit. ]

I'll need to practice juggling all of them.

[blastedass]

[Katsuki wanders in the surf, sandals making that pretty easy, so long as the waves don't drag one off.]

What's the largest area you've covered?

[Does it make a noise when it's escaping/producing?]

[defendure]

It's still pretty new so...not a lot so far? Probably twenty feet.

[ He thinks he could do more, but isn't sure. ]

[blastedass]

Hm.

[Accepting that, he's left to think for a bit. Trying to judge if he can really give Izuku advice on smokescreens when he himself uses an almost completely different kind. His are short-lasting, far more centralized in comparison, but he's utilized them regardless.]

So what do you want me to teach you?

[defendure]

Well...you're always good at making me learn on the fly.

[ The threat of being blown up is a good learning tool? ]

[blastedass]

So are we looking at coral or am I kicking your ass?

[Original plan versus a new one. What's it gonna be?]

[defendure]

Does it have to be one or the other...? We can look at the coral a bit then move back up to the beach.

[ It's good enough as a training location; Katsuki can blow up sand as much as he likes. ]

[blastedass]

Done.

[He'd wanted more to know what the plan was "for now" before he up an blasted Izuku without warning, as he's wont to do.]

I'm going in.

[Meaning he takes a moment to shove his sandals under a nearby rock before heading into the water.]

[defendure]

Ah, wait up!

[ He'll have to put his flip flops for safekeeping before he follows after, panicked for a second like he usually gets when he's startled. ]

[blastedass]

[He startles too easily. Katsuki turns his body to cut through some of the waves before slogging further in to his waist. This might be better with snorkels or scuba, but oh well. At least the water's a nice temp.]

[defendure]

[ He does...at least it's a quick recovery as he chases after Katsuki, going a little slower once he has to move through water. ]

It isn't too far out I don't think.

[blastedass]

It's right over there.

[They'll still have to swim and tread water if they want to get closer. Katsuki doesn't intend on getting close enough to touch. Not supposed to.

Though they had to touch each other to light it up, right? Fuck...]

[defendure]

[ Chill, Katsuki. Once they're closer, Izuku will just hold his shoulder or hand or something. It doesn't have to be dramatic. ]

Okay! It doesn't look like we have much further, then. Race you!

[blastedass]

[Staying afloat with one arm locked is a little annoying; normally it's not good to hold onto someone when swimming, is his idea. But he'll deal with it.]

Go!

[That was fast. He dives instantly and takes off.]

[defendure]

[ Izuku's diving on the first sound of "go" - but Katsuki's got the better arms here. Izuku's leg power is good? It's anyone's game, so decide if you want to play smug or annoyed Katsuki at your leisure since Izuku will be Content Izuku either way. He's a better winner and loser. ]

[blastedass]

[Why the fuck should he learn to be a good loser? When he can get so fucking good he's always the winner? Striking out on his own, arms over arms and legs kicking, he makes for the coral area. Swimming had been one of his exercises as a kid, so this isn't a bad skill for him either.

Problem is, neither of them decided on an endpoint and it's ambiguous anyways since they can't touch the coral. So Katsuki ultimately breaks the surface and shakes his head shouting] HA! My fucking win!

[Because the finish line is... HERE! Where he is! HAHA!]

[defendure]

[ Izuku just laughs about it with him...? Whatever, Katsuki. Sometimes he'll argue the point but right now he feels...okay. Despite the way they were getting too serious on the beach earlier.

It's hard to stay serious when Katsuki's acting little-kid victorious over a race. ]

Still have that fight to go...

[ Okay, he'll just...

Hm. Well, he can use Float in water just fine, so he'll put his bad arm hand on Katsuki's shoulder almost absently as he does that.

Synchrony is all they need, right? They've done this probably too often. Someday Katsuki's going to have to admit to himself that they're probably in tune enough to get the echoed feelings, even if at least there's the bonus of stronger powers...? ]

[blastedass]

You said you wanted to race! Don't go fucking on about a fight! You delayed it!

[Picked the coral. Then the race. Own up to the loss and let him have his fucking victory.

He glances at the hand on his shoulder, about to protest, but then remembers why they're here in the first place. Fucking Noctium...

And he's not going to admit to that for a long ass time. If ever. But the coral's lighting up?]

[defendure]

[ Izuku's breath catches because of course he loves this sort of thing - the colors playing underwater in the pattern of coral, lighting up the clear water with a warm glow, and maybe a magical one.

He's a sucker for anything cool... ]

It's really working...!

[blastedass]

[This is crossing the boundaries between something he'd "bleh" at for being too soft or stupid (colors) and something that's undeniably "cool" because it's fucking glowing coral. you don't see this shit every day. or ever.

Katsuki's content then to wait here in the water, letting Izuku hold onto him as they watch the light show.

Hm... if he touches Izuku's elbow with one finger, does that change anything?]

[defendure]

[ Yes, two things. It makes Izuku jolt a little as he's like "was that a fish? seaweed? oh it's just Kacchan - wait it was Kacchan?!" and goes through a whole mental debacle in two seconds, but also it makes the lights in the coral change.

Brighter, definitely. Stronger. But the colors go warmer, too, with starbursts of orange. ]

[blastedass]

[Ah shit. He immediately kicks himself for not having pinched him on the side or something. Really make him jump. Now he'll just figure it was him. Fuck. Katsuki shoves the idea away as he watches the colors brighten.

Yeah yeah yeah, he knows what they want. But like hell is he going to bang in the middle of the damn ocean.

Still, the increased light is nice (and he takes his finger away for double check).]

[defendure]

[ Taking the finger away remove the orange starbursts, fading back to green and blue low-lights, shot through with little bits of pink... ]

Touch somewhere else! [ Izuku's bubbly about it, but don't worry, Katsuki: he's not planning to bang or anything, either. He just wants to know if different points of contact do different things. ]

[blastedass]

[Oh shit is this fucking color coded to them now?! He doesn't know if that's cool or kind of creepy... Then again, could be responding to the gems... hot colors, cold colors.]

I wasn't tou...

[And fades off because that's a fucking lame attempt. Of course Izuku knew he touched him. You think a fish has fingers?

And going to poke him in the ribs. Well, poke and hold it there.]

[defendure]

[ Well. Izuku yelps with a kind of laugh...this time there are blood red little fireworks across the coral, and the pink amps up?

Izuku jabs Katsuki in the shoulder and there's a splash of yellow. ]
