"Mark why?"

"Because, I think it'll be nice"

"But-"

"No buts"

"But you have a butt"

"Not what I meant Y|n"

You were walking slowly towards the sand. Mark, your close friend, hand taken you to an empty beach, waking you up at two in the morning. You thought it looked like a spot a boy would take his girlfriend to for a romantic date.

You had to admit, it was gorgeous. The sand was dark but glistened when the slow waves reach up the beach, the Moon reflecting the Suns glow perfectly up in the dark star spotted sky. The ocean a dark clear teal blue, the smell of fresh salt wafted through the slight breeze, moving the tranquil sound of moving water.

You plopped down on to a spot in the sand, your legs soon being dusted with sand. Because Mark had forced you awake so early, you still had your pjs on, a pair of shorts and a graphic tee.

Mark sat beside you picking up a shell that was in front of him.

"Look how pretty it is!"

Little legs began to crawl out. Once Mark made eye contact with the unknown creatures legs, his hand dropped the shell out of reflex. The shell wobbled slightly as the legs moved back in. You observed it for a moment before watching the legs slowly come out of hiding. Little eyes soon popped out to see the world around.

"It's a hermit crab! How cute!"

You gently picked up the Hermit crab and watched him as he walked around, observing your hand. You smiled at how tiny it is.

You made a tiny little sand castle for the Hermit crab. Placing him at the gate, he soon started to crawl inside.

"There you go Mr. Crab, enjoy your knew home"

You leaned back, proud of your structure. Mark just smiled as he watched you enjoy the sand. He wrapped an arm around you and pulled you close. You questioned him but he just shushed you and told you he was cold. You didn't bother to continue, you just watched the sun slowly take the place of the crescent moon. It was silent, nothing but the sound of the waves echoed in your ears. You were warm in his embrace. He held you so close your head rested on his chest, your legs tucked into your chest, his feet dug into the sand.

"Mark"

He hummed in response, his eyes still forward.

"You do know this would be a perfect place for a romantic date right?"

He only nodded. You unknowingly hoped he'd say more, but he didn't even utter a word.

"I hope to come here again with you"

You smiled, but on the inside you frowned. You probably couldn't take it coming here with him again as his friend. It was really the perfect place, your ideal date really, you wouldn't be able to take the truth of coming here again with someone other than the boy you loved.

"But I hope with you as my girlfriend instead"

You smiled genuinely and cuddled closer. Your whole body heated up even your toes which were left out in the cool ocean breeze.

Was that too cheesy? It was to cheesy wasn't it? Oh well I hope it was at least fluffy.

This is a picture of a hermit crab just incase you didn't know.

I actually had one when I was little, her name was Sakura, she had the most beautiful shells I've seen. Me and my older brother used to take care of her, she was adorable, so tiny and cute.
