“If something attacks us, it’s all your fault,” I joke and pinch his side with my finger which causes him to laugh. A wave comes in and we both dip under it and wipe the salt water from our eyes before fusing back together.

“If something attacks us, you never have to get in the water again, I promise.”

“I’ll hold you to that.” I smirk and stare at him for a moment, somehow still unable to believe he’s mine. “You know I love you, right?”

He nods his head at me and smiles. “You tell me everyday and yet I never get tired of hearing it.”

“I hope you don’t because I plan on telling you everyday how much I love you.”

“I’ll hold you to that,” he murmurs, pulling me close and hugging me as we bob in the water.

“Anything for you,” I promise before he presses his lips to mine, not caring who sees. As we kiss, surrounded by the noise of the waves and children playing, I know in my core that I’m forever changed because of him. That I’m a better person because I know him.

And that maybe, just maybe, happy people aren’t so annoying after all.

THE END.
