Eeeeee how cute is this!! Rodney's mashed castle is woeful but then there is pinky swearing and dopey grinning and A RUNWAY and gangly wee boys, and life is good, and you are adorable. :D
And also, re: team volleyball day, I think the first time Rodney sees John wearing the khakis, it's team movie night, and they're still pants. John digs them out of the bottom of a bag, and they're wrinkled, but they smell okay and seem clean, and they're really soft, and when Rodney sees them he mutters something about Ancient irons and reaches right over and pinches the fabric just above John's knee between his fingers, rubs it a little, and John's stomach flip-flops a couple of times. And he wears them a few more times after that, until a botany accident that leaves them stained purple to mid-shin, and then, even though he stops wearing them, he hangs onto them, sticks them in a drawer and forgets about them until months and months later, until he's trying to figure out the dress code for beach volleyball.
And also also, there're lots of beaches on Nantucket. 'm just saying. :>
