With it being a Saturday now, it was decided that the day would be spent at the beach to just let everything go and have a great time together. Y/N, Miz, Maryse, John Morrison and his wife Taya Valkyrie were going early after lunch to get the full brightness and the enjoyment of incoming waves as well. They took an SUV to get everything around as John was actually driving.

John:" Who's ready?"

Y/N:" I think all of us are. After all, it's a sunny beach day."

Miz:" Damn right. It's a beautiful scene every time we go there. Reminds me of a vacation in Costa Rica."

Maryse:" I remember it very well too. Wasn't that where you had a crab pinch your butt cheek?"

Miz:" Yeah, that one. Gosh, that hurt. I swear the next crab that's in sight will be my meal."

Taya:" Uh oh, Mike is on the hunt. Watch out everybody."

The five laughed softly as they got closer to the beach. It wasn't too crowded yet and by the looks of things, they really picked the perfect day to go. It wasn't blazing hot, too windy or anything. Once John parked the car, he and Y/N went to the back and got out the towels, a boombox and a cooler full of drinks. They prepared everything they could to make it fun and keep themselves at bay. Soon, everyone went over to a group of seats and put everything down before Maryse and Taya excused themselves to get changed. At the same time, Miz approached Y/N and put a hand on his shoulder.

Miz:" Hey Y/N. I have a few things to say to you."

Y/N:" What's up then, Mike? Everything okay with you?"

Miz:" It's getting there. Maryse and I finally sat down and talked. We discussed our different views about what was going on. She's a wonderful woman, no doubt about that. And I love her a lot."

Y/N:" Not to tick you off, but sometimes you have a weird way to show that."

Miz:" I know, but please let me finish. I told my producer that I will take some time off after my current project is finished. That way, I can finally be with my family again."

Y/N:" Now that's great news. I really hope you work on yourself, man. I know you got it in you."

Miz:" Thank you. This honestly wasn't easy and I wanna thank you for your help too."

Y/N:" No problem. But...if you somehow mess this up again, I swear I'll knock the sense I got into you back out, just to make myself clear. You two have been together for several years, man."

Miz:" I understand what you mean, Y/N. It's okay and I will face the consequences."

Y/N:" Good."

Miz and Y/N smiled and softly hugged it out to bury the hatchet for now while John was just on his chair, wearing some sunglasses. The ladies soon returned as well with Y/N having a hard time to grasp this sight.

Maryse:" We're back now."

Taya:" I hope we didn't miss too much."

Miz:" Just in time actually. Just a bit of tanning for now, right?"

John:" Yep. Easy to start before we get to anything else."

Maryse:" I might need some help with the sunscreen on my back."

Y/N:" I could help out, if that's okay."

Maryse smiled at his reaction since Miz didn't seem too thrilled about doing it himself while John and Taya just laughed it off and took things into their own hands. Any normal guy would immediatly step in and warn another man from putting his hands on their partner, but apparently tge friendship between the three had a different way to go. So with Maryse laying face down, Y/N grabbed the bottle of sunscreen, warmed it up in his hands and then started rubbing it on her shoulders and neck.

Maryse:" Thank you in advance, Y/N. Not only for that, but for giving Mike a piece of your mind."

Y/N:" You're welcome, Maryse. He had it coming, but he assured me that things would get better soon."

Maryse:" Hopefully. I know he took time off, but I wanna see how he actually takes this whole thing."

Y/N:" Same. This better go well."

Maryse nodded in response and softly hummed as Y/N spread the sunscreen on her. Truth be told, this wasn't the first time he did it for her. Many thought Maryse had a personal assistant or something until those people realized who Y/N was and how he mattered in regards to the IT Couple as a whole. Thankfully no rumors were spread or things would've taken a completely different turn.
---------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later and all five of the friends had a lot of fun already, either just fooling around, swimming or playing volleyball together. It was only a matter of time until they needed a drink though and the beverages from the cooler weren't enough for all of them anymore by this point. Maryse was last to come out of the water.

Maryse:" Ooh the water is still a little chilly."

Taya:" I enjoyed swimming in there."

John:" Same. Maybe you're just a little sensitive because of the weather."

Maryse:" Might be, but it really has been fun so far."

Y/N:" By the way, I already ordered something for you. Just thought I'd get something ready for when you come up to us."

Maryse:" That's nice. Thank you, Y/N."

Y/N just smiled and Maryse sat down next to him, happy to see someone to care of things before they might bother her. Ofcourse Y/N wasn't her husband or anything, but she saw attributes in him that proved he was actually a great guy. A moment later, the requested drink was presented.

Y/N:" An Orange-Gin cocktail with hopefully the right balance of fruitiness and alcohol."

Maryse:" Oooh sounds good. Let's see what it's actually like."

John, Taya and Miz were entangled in their own little world while Y/N stayed with Maryse throughout the whole deal. She took the first sip and her initial reaction was hard to read until another smile found its way to her face.

Maryse:" This tastes great, Y/N. How did you figure out I would like it?"

Y/N:" Pure luck, really. I asked the bartender what someone like you might like and he suggested this."

Maryse:" You become more charming and interesting every time. Maybe I have to make due on what I said a short while ago."

Winking at the younger man, Maryse scooted a little closer and crossed her legs while enjoying her drink. Y/N on the other hand remembered exactly what she was on about and looked aside a bit. What could be, if they would be together? No, he couldn't think about his best friends' wife that way. They were married for goodness' sake! It would do no good to interfere and cause them any harm...but he was allowed to dream.
