(Your POV)

  Me and Garroth started walking to the beach after I ate all of my bacon. I was walking to the right of him, so I put my right earbud in my ear so if he wanted to talk to me, I could hear him.

  "So..." Garroth started after a minute. I turned to him as we continued walking. "Do you like any shows? Or... anime?"

  I perked up.

  My true self is being unleashed.

  "FAIRY TAIL! I love Fairy Tail! All of the characters are relatable in some way, also, Natsu is awesome! I love his scarf, I wish I could have it! Also, Lucy's keys! Wouldn't it be awesome if the magic in their world was real?! I wish it was because then I would have my own power and I could help them fight off evil and blow things up and-" I stopped in my tracks, embarrassed. "S-Sorry..." I said quietly as I looked down at my feet. (Sorry if you don't know or like Fairy Tail, but if you've never heard of it, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!)

  Garroth stopped as well and lifted my chin up to look at him. "(Y/N), it's fine, really. It's another side of you, and I love seeing all of your different personalities. Don't be ashamed of them." he assured me. I blushed a little.

  "O-Okay..."

  He let go of my chin and we continued walking. After another few minutes, be spoke up again. "Hey, what song are you listening to?"

  "O-Oh, it's a song called Knee Socks..."

  He chuckled. "That's an odd name. Can I hear it?"

  "S-Sure." I put my left earbud in my ear, took the right one out of my ear, and gave it to him so we both could listen. I had it on repeat, and it just started over so he could hear it from the beginning.

  "Wow, I really like it! I was kinda expecting you to listen to some.... anime... nightcore thing?" Garroth said, kinda like a question.

  "W-Well, I love nightcore, don't get me wrong, but... usually it's really fast, and... i-it's kinda hard to concentrate. A-Also, it's easier to talk to people while listening to a song without words." I explained.

  "Wow, you really thought through that." Garroth said.

  "Heh, yeah, I guess." I said, my face heating up. Then, we finally arrived at the beach. "Yes!" I exclaimed, starting to run. I got to the sand and kept running.

  And then I fell.

  Face first.

  Great.

  I could hear Garroth's laughs behind me slowly getting closer. I sat up with my eyes closed, rubbing my nose. "Ow..." I said. I looked up and opened my eyes to see Garroth holding out his hand for me to grab. My hand hesitantly grabbed his and he pulled me up. But... a little too fast.

  Then, my face slammed into his chest. "Heh, are you okay?" Garroth asked me as I looked up. I then realized that he was holding me. My face turned into a tomato.

  Again.

  He realized then let go and backed up a little, his face also becoming a tomato. "I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't want you to fall again!" Garroth quickly explained.

  I backed up a little too. "N-No, I'm sorry! I-I shouldn't have fallen in the first place!" I nervously assured him. We both held our heads in out hands, embarrassed.

  Garroth finally spoke up. "D-Do you just want to swim now?"

  "Y-Yeah..."

  Garroth set the towel down on the sand. I sat down and looked at Garroth as he took his shirt off. (I tried to find a picture but then I got sucked into Nalu fanart so... let your imagination go free!) I blushed. Garroth took notice and chuckled. Once I snapped out of it, I took my shirt and shorts of, still sitting down.

  (Minus the ears, tail, and hat. Also, it looks like you, and you can change the swimsuit color if you want)

  Garroth just stood there, looking at me. And, as usual, I freaked out.
"W-What's wrong? D-Do I look bad or something...?" I asked.

  "N-No, no! Of course not! You look... amazing..." Garroth responded.

  "O-Oh, well, can we swim now..?"

  "Y-Yes, of course!" Garroth said. Before I could stand, he picked me up and put me on his shoulders. "Hold on tight!" he yelled as he started to run toward the water.

  "AAAHHH GARROTH RUN SLOWER!!!" I screamed, holding on for dear life. Garroth got knee high (for him) into the water, picked me up off of his shoulders, and threw me into the water as I continued screaming. I surfaced the water and shook the water out of my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw Garroth in front of me, dieing of laughter. "Why did you do that?!" I asked loudly.

  "I'm... sorry... haha..." he responded. He was panting from laughing so much. I pouted as I crossed my arms and looked away. Garroth frowned and walked over. "Hey, are you okay?"

  Oh, he's SO paying for that.

  I clenched my teeth and made my eyes watery. He looked EXTREMELY guilty.

  Yes. He's falling for my acting skills! Watching those acting tutorials on Youtube really WAS worth it!

  I started to softly cry. "(Y-Y/N), a-are you okay?! D-Did I hurt you?!" Garroth asked, bending down to my level and putting his hand on my back. I quickly jumped away, starting to also look angry.

  "No! Get away from me!" I yelled.

  He looked shocked. "W..What did I do wrong..?" He looked genuinely sorry.

  "You wanna know what you did?" I asked sternly.

  "Y-Yes!" he exclaimed, desperately wanting to know what he did wrong.

  "Really?"

  "Yes..."

  "Come closer then."

  He took a couple of steps forward. I splashed him with water and started laughing hysterically. Garroth rubbed the saltwater out of his eyes. "What was that for?!" he yelled.

  "Haha! You... should've... ha... seen your face!" I told him as I continued to laugh.

  "That wasn't funny!"

  "Neither was throwing me into the ocean!"

  "I thought I did something wrong!"

  "You did! You underestimated my acting skills!"

  "Hmph!" he pouted and looked away. I walked up closer to him.

  "C'mon, it wasn't-" He interrupted me by splashing me with water. "Grrrr... you're on." I growled, followed by splashing him with water. We continued to have a splash fight, laughing. After a few minutes, we both got tired and went back to our towel on the sand, breathing heavily.

  "So..." he started. I turned to him. "Next on the list is ice cream, right?"

  My eyes lit up. "Yes!" I exclaimed.

  He chuckled and we started walking to the ice cream stand on the beach. "Wow, this is the longest you've gone without stuttering."

  I looked away in embarrassment.
"I-I..."

  "Heh, it's fine. You're cute either way." I blushed. Then I stopped walking. Once he realized that I stopped, he turned and walked back to me, confused. "What's wrong?"

  "Y'know, I just realized something.
Y-You have a normal, kinda scratchy sounding voice usually. But whenever you say something.... f-flirty... your voice sounds a lot smoother. What's up with that?" I questioned him, tilting my head at the end. His face got VERY red.

  "I-I, u-um..." he started, searching for words. "I-I used to talk like that in high school, a-and... I was a lot more... confident.. back then... yeah..." he explained, looking down in embarrassment.

  I giggled, and he looked up.
"W-Well... maybe you need to use more feathers or something."

  "What..?" he asked, looking shocked. I wonder why...

  "Yeah, you know how male birds attract the female birds with their pretty feathers? It was... supposed to be a joke, heh..." I explained my horrible joke. Then, his nose started to bleed. "G-GARROTH?!"

  (Garroth's POV)

  SHE'S PERFECT! Finally, someone understands me and my precious feathers! Wait, is my nose bleeding?

  (Your POV)

  He quickly wiped his nose. "Oh, s-sorry about that. Hey, should we continue making our way to the ice cream stand?" Garroth asked, casually brushing it off.

  "But, you... blood..." I sighed as there was no point in complaining. "Yeah, let's go." We finally got to the stand and got our ice cream. I got vanilla and Garroth got chocolate. (Sorry if you don't like vanilla!) We got back to our towel and sat down, licking our ice cream. Garroth looked over to me.

  "Hey, you want some?" he asked, motioning to his ice cream.

  "N-No, I'm fine." I responded, blushing a little.

  "Why not?"

  "W-Well, I'm actually... allergic.. t-to chocolate..."

  "Oh? So... you've never tasted it before?" he asked curiously, tilting his head.

  "W-Well, yeah, b-but..." I giggled remembering the embarrassing story that I was about to tell him. "When I was four, me and my mom were at the store, and she never gave me candy. I always begged her for some, but she would always refuse. So, one time I-I kinda... stole a chocolate bar when she wasn't looking. I started unwrapping it, still in the isle standing next to my mom, but she heard. She turned around and started chasing me, telling me to not eat it."

  "You were a mischievous kid, huh?"

  "Heh, n-not after this... Anyway, we were running, but my stubby little toddler legs were faster. I finished unwrapping it while still running and took a bite, then a few seconds later, the world around me looked blurry, and everything went black. I, uhm... woke up in a hospital room... I almost died that day, so... I'm deathly allergic to chocolate." I finished. He looked shocked.

  "S-Sorry for asking..." he apologized.

  "N-No, it's fine. There are subtitutes anyway, y'know, like milk, and meat, and stuff like that." I reassured him. He looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back. "Oh, by the way, you better finish it, it's melting." He looked back at his ice cream, starting to panic as it dripped down his hand. I laughed. After a few minutes, we both finished our ice cream.

  "Wanna look at the clouds?" Garroth suggested.

  "Y-Yeah, sure." I agreed. We both laid down on the big towel, looking at the clouds as we started a random conversation. After a few minutes, we stopped talking and watched the clouds in silence. I rested my eyes for a little bit, thinking. That was until I felt someone grab my hand and interlock their fingers with mine.

  I opened my eyes and looked to my side to see Garroth, looking at me with a blush spread across his face. I blushed too, then looked back up and closed my eyes again.

  (Garroth's POV)

  Wait, what?! She didn't pull her hand away?! Wow...

  (Your POV)

  After a while, we both got back up and swam in the ocean more until the sun started to set. "Wow... we've been here for a while, huh?" I asked as I chuckled nervously.

  "Yeah. Should we head back for the movie?" Garroth asked.

  "Yup! Let's go!" I exclaimed as I started walking in the direction of the house.

  (Le Time Skip~)

  We finally arrived back at the house and walked inside. I ran to the kitchen and got out a bag of popcorn and put it in the microwave. "So, what'cha wanna watch?" I asked, turning to Garroth.

  "Hmmm... what about The Good Dinosaur?" Garroth suggested.

  "Yeah, sure!" I agreed happily. Garroth went to rent the movie on the T.V. by our bed and I stayed with the popcorn until the popped. I sprinkled in some M&M's and went to where Garroth was. He already rented the movie. "Wow, that was quick."

  "Yeah, it didn't take that long." he said, shrugging. I looked out of the window and it was already dark out. I sat down next to him with the popcorn bowl in my lap. He noticed the M&M's. "Hey, aren't you not allowed to-"

  "It's specially made. Y'know, substitutes, usually made for werewolves, since they're also allergic." I explained as I ate some.

  "Why'd you put M&M's in it?" My eyes widened.

  "You've NEVER had M&M's in popcorn before?!"

  "Uhm... no..."

  "Eat. NOW."

  "O-Okay..." He took a handful of popcorn with some M&M's and ate it. His eyes widened as he realized my genius food combination. "Wow... that was... amazing!"

  "Told ya!" We started watching the movie. After about twenty minutes, I started shivering. I tried to hide it, but Garroth took notice.

  "Hey, are you cold?" he asked me. Before a could answer, he threw a blanket over both of our heads in a way where we could still watch the movie. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Near the end of the movie, I started to get tired, so I instinctively leaned my head on Garroth's shoulder. I felt him tense up before my eyes got heavy and I fell asleep.

  AHHH 2190 WORDS!!!

  Wow... hope ya like it! (Thanks for rushing me, HANNAH. *only she'll understand that*) Welp... bye! :P
