I don't love you like I did yesterday [for Ray; dated to Feb. 16]  
The gentle rocking of the boat had kept Asher in bed a lot later than he was accustomed to, and he might had stayed that way for an hour or two longer if it hadn't been for the sun streaming in through the porthole beside him. He tried pulling the covers up over his head but that made him too hot, and draping an arm over his eyes wasn't all that comfortable a position.

Grumbling quietly at the back of his throat, he eventually conceded to the idea that fighting it wasn't going to get him anywhere; he was awake. It wasn't until he stretched and his elbow nudged against something solid that his eyes finally opened slowly, blinking a few times before they focused properly.

Suddenly, the sun in his eyes was the very least of his problems.

Yelling was followed by scrambling, which was quickly followed by groaning as Asher had managed to scramble himself right off the foot of the bed in all of his flailing and commotion. "What the fuck?!" He hissed pulling a fucking shoe out from under himself. And it wasn't even his shoe!

It did make for an excellent projectile, though, so he threw it from his awkward position of the floor and just hoped it connected with Vecchio.

There was an awkward beat of silence before Ray called out "Finally!" after Asher had appeared, almost as if to deliberately piss him off so there was something other than silence. Insults had come so naturally the morning before.

Ray was fairly sure he had everything of his from the bedroom but he really wasn't strong enough to go back inside to check. His tie, at least, hung halfway out of his pant's pocket. He was nearly at the door when he turned back as an afterthought and replaced the cupcake, putting it with the rest on the plate. Something caught his eye and with a frown, he nudged the cake out of the way and picked up the foreign object.

The button. Ray stared at it for a long moment before dumping it on the table, in amongst the discarded polaroids he hadn't wanted to take. When he left the cabin, he was faced the same difficulty he'd conquered the day before, only this time getting off the boat looked a lot harder to do without tumbling into the water.

If Asher had stayed there, watching and waiting for Ray to finally take the leap, he knew he wouldn't have been able to keep himself from pushing him into the water.

Instead, he started down the boardwalk, curses quietly spilling from his lips the entire way. The longer he took, the more distance Asher could put between them, and maybe they could avoid being seen together by too many more people. Or so he could hope.

Exasperated, Ray gaped at Asher's retreating figure. God, that man was rude and incorrigible and everything he didn't like in another human being.

He held two loose fists by his side as he called out, "What, you're not gonna help me?!"

"No," Asher answered. Did the walking away not make that clear enough? He was as bad as Onyx, just more annoying since he whined with actual words and not a bunch of whimpers. "Jump. Or stay there for all I care."

At least now Ray could stop wondering how much of yesterday had been magically-engineered and how much hadn't. A big fat one hundred percent, that was how much. Every bit fake. Ray guessed he should thank God.

His pride prevented him from calling for help again. He just dropped his head into his hands and groaned pitifully, sitting down at the nearest flat spot and waiting for the sun to evaporate the entire ocean.
