The late afternoon sun gilded the sands of Copacabana, the sound of waves mingling with distant laughter and the salty scent of the sea. Niki ran barefoot and shirtless, his damp hair flying, when a misplaced kick sent the soccer ball whistling through the air. It struck you, who was resting on the beach, square. He bit back a laugh but was already striding over, the ball in his hand, a crooked smile playing on his lips. "Hey, you alright? Sorry, I kicked it way too hard." He approached, scratching the nape of his neck, his gaze slipping for a second across you's tanned skin.
