The sun sparkled down on the water, making it seem like there were diamonds and jewels hidden beneath the surface of it. Thin light clouds littered the sky, allowing brightness all over, and rain nowhere. The white sand was soft beneath Harry's feet, and he curled his toes into it as the mound of sand was building up around them.

"Done!" the nine year old exclaimed, and stood up hastily, "break free!"

Harry smiled, and stood up the best he could without damaging the sand that Daisy had made bury his feet. He chuckled, and jumped up, releasing his ankles from the hot sand.

"Aw, it didn't hold you down," she shrugged, "oh well, c'mon!" she grinned, taking ahold of the boys hand and dragging him down to the clear water. Where he stood and watched as it hit his feet, washing away the sand.

"Hi angel," a familiar voice spoke, and the boy turned around, instantly smiling bigger when Louis was there beaming at him. "Come on! Let's go in!" he nodded his head towards the water, and Harry followed him, soon in a race with his boyfriend over who could get in faster.

"I won!" Louis cheered.

Harry scrunched his nose, "Nah, I think I did better," he disagreed, and swam over to his boyfriend.

"Alright, I guess I'll let you win," he rolled his eyes playfully, and frowned when Harry suddenly disappeared under the water. Though he yelped in surprise when he was being lifted up, and laughed seeing himself on his boyfriends shoulders. "Harry!" he shrieked, his hands flying to Harry's head to keep himself steady. "You're insane!"

Laughter erupted from the boy below him, "I know. But you know you love me."

Louis shook his head with a smile on his face, "Can't lie about that angel."

"Good," Harry stated, and before Louis knew it they were both falling backwards, falling into the water, going down with a scream.

Harry popped up first, Louis following seconds later, "You scared the living shit out of me!" he exclaimed with a chuckle, his hands on Harry's shoulders as he pulled him down under the water. Louis opened his eyes. Seeing the blurry outline of Harry's face he grabbed the boy by the cheeks, and connected their lips, closing his eyes again. Harry kissed back, the air he held going into Louis' mouth, which he admit felt a bit funny. Which is why he giggled, and resurfaced.

"Well now I can cross kissing underwater off my bucket list," Harry grinned, "but I think we should do it again just to make sure it'll go right again next time," he smirked, and once again Louis smiled, sinking back underwater with his lips on the younger boys.

"We can go to the boardwalk," Phoebe offered, leaning her elbows on the table as she kneeled on the stool.

"Sit on your bum Pheebs," Jay told her, "you'll fall," she gave the girl a look, and Phoebe sighed dramatically, fixing her seating.

"That's fine with me, what about you love?" Louis asked Harry, who had just walked into the kitchen, "boardwalk?"

The younger mans lips twitched up into a smile, "Yeah, I love the boardwalk," he said, leaning into Louis' touch when he wrapped an arm around his waist, rubbing circles into his skin under his shirt.

"Winter, snow, boardwalks. You love a lot of things don't you," Louis trailed on, an admiring smile on his face.

"Yeah, including you," Harry shot back, his forehead leaning against Louis' when the older man turned to face his boyfriend.

"Do you now," Louis hummed, tilting his head up and pressing his lips to Harry's, who kissed back softly, his hand moving to the small of Louis' back.

"Yeah," he mumbled against his lips, "I do," he kissed him again.

Louis giggled, "Well then, what a coincidence. I love you too."

"You two are so cute that it makes me sick," Gemma's voice rung through the room, and Harry smiled, turning his head. He wrapped his arms around his boyfriend from behind, and watched his sister prance off with Lottie.

"So boardwalk?" Louis questioned, to which everyone in the room agreed. The two twins let out a victory of "yes's" and ran off into their room. Everyone part ways, going to get changed.

Both Louis and Harry's parents got their own room, as well as the young couple themselves. Fizzy was stuck with the twins while Gemma and Lottie, who had practically become like sisters in the past years, shared a room. The two families decided months before that they would rent a house in California, as Dan, Jay's husband and Louis' stepdad, had a little bonus money from his job and Anne had some saved from Harry's lack of needed money for college since he didn't end up going.

Only Gemma and Louis knew, but the reason they chose California was because Louis had recommended it, knowing Harry had wanted to go there in the future.

The two boys led each other back to their room, and changed into more comfortable clothes. Though Louis' eyes lingered on Harry's jean shorts. The ones that hung dangerously low when he put his hands in his pockets and showed the waistband of his Calvin Klein boxers.

"Take a picture," a voice interrupted him, and he looked up with wide eyes at his boyfriend, "it'll last longer," Harry smirked, walking forward and placing a kiss on Louis' cheek before exiting the room.

The older man sighed, and chuckled to himself as he tossed on his muscle tank, jogging out to the others. They chatted for a couple minutes, but eventually left the house, and headed out towards the boardwalk.

They ended up only needing to drive ten minutes, well, the parents did. But Harry, Louis, Gemma, Lottie and Fizzy all split up and drove in golf carts, seeing as there was a safe path to the boardwalk if they cut across the golf course. Which they did.

The two boys went off on their own, and even though they were practically adults they promised their parents that they would make sure to be home by midnight if they stayed out late.

"What's that-"

"Harry," Louis breathed, and Harry turned around, looking to where Louis was pointing.

"The Ferris wheel. Do you want to go on?" the curly haired man asked, smiling when his boyfriend nodded and took his hand. He led him towards the ride, and they were able to get on in no time.

"It's beautiful. The view from here," Louis sighed, leaning back on the younger boys chest.

Harry wrapped his arms around Louis' waist, and kissed his temple, "Yeah. It is," he mumbled, not moving his gaze from Louis when the older lad looked back at him.

"Oh shush," Louis blushed, smacking Harry's thigh lightly.

"I can't help it," the boy giggled, "you're beautiful," he whispered in his ear, and smiled when Louis tilted his head back grinning, and kissed him.
