oh, finally i got to write something! as i've now enjoyed my summer holiday, naturally it was an inspiration and this little piece was born. it felt so good to write again. ❤️ there might be some mistakes as i wrote this with phone, so sorry about those. but hope you enjoy anyway!
The air smells sweet, so fresh after the rain - you've always loved that scent, the scent of summer. It makes you feel like home, reminds you of the time when life was more carefree. You smile as you make your way along the path that leads you to the small pond in the middle of the forest.
Behind you, you hear some grumpy huffs and puffs every once in a while and you can't help but shake your head.
"Come on, old man, it's not so bad," you said, turning to walk backwards and pointing at the sky. "Look, sun is peeking through the clouds already."
Secondo just lets out a grunt but you don't miss the tiny smirk that passes his lips afterwards. Happily you clap your hands together and turn around, making it easier to walk while facing to the right direction. It doesn’t take long before you reach the pond and you stop for a moment to just admire the view.
Secondo comes to stand next to you and you can feel his gaze settling on you, studying. There is a moment of quiet before he speaks.
"You really love this place."
You turn to look at him, smiling dreamily.
"Yes, I do. It reminds me of home. My childhood home," you answer. "But this is also a great place to just relax and enjoy the nature as it is."
Secondo hums, a fond smile tucking at his lips. You move closer to him, lean in to kiss him quickly, softly. He tries to chase another kiss but you have stepped further and are now discarding your clothes, the shirt and your sport leggings, revealing a simple dark green bikini underneath.
Secondo's eyes go over your body, the appreciation clear in his eyes and you smirk.
"The last one in the water will have to cook for the rest of the week," you say as you start to slowly walk closer to the pond. Secondo shakes his head, knowing you aren't really serious. However, he doesn't make a move at taking his clothes off - you know he isn't that fond of swimming, especially after it has rained.
You turn and walk into the water. It feels a bit cool but it isn't bad and when it's deep enough you take a quick dive. Secondo is still standing on the dry land when you come back above the water line, though he has come closer to the water and is now leaning against one of the trees.
You swim closer and try to coax Secondo to join you again.
"I would love some company."
Secondo laughs a little.
"I'm here, my love."
You roll your eyes and then pretend to pout.
"But it's lonely here," you state, giving him your best 'puppy eyes' look. "Pleaaaase."
Secondo seems to lean even more against the tree, not saying a word, just staring at you. You wait for a moment and when nothing happens, you turn again and start to swim further. The water starts to feel warmer the longer you spend in the embrace of it and you turn to float on your back, closing your eyes.
Your mind immediately takes you back to your childhood memories, the way you spent hours and hours on the lake whenever it was possible. You loved the solitude of nature and the way how everything smelled after the rain, how the raindrops glimmered in the sunlight.
Eventually a light pressure on your foot pulls you out of your thoughts and you open your eyes, seeing Secondo standing close to you, a mix of fondness and grumpiness on his face. You still don't know how he manages to look like that but it's kind of endearing.
Smiling you move yourself on your feet and step closer to Secondo.
"Happy now?" he asks and you can see he his holding his smile back. You hum happily, leaning to kiss him, this time properly, and he wraps his arms around you while your hands settle on his waist.
When he pulls you closer, you can feel that something is clearly missing and you can't help but chuckle into the kiss.
"Sneaky bastard," you breathe out.
"It's just us here so why would I need swimming trunks?"
You give Secondo a gentle shove and his laughter rings in your ears as he claims your lips again. His hands slide down on your body, reaching your buttocks and giving them a firm squeeze and you hum in appreciation.
When you eventually part, your gazes meet, a small smirk plastered on Secondo's lips.
"Are you trying to weasel your way out of your cooking duty by teasing me?"
"No," Secondo says, bringing his other hand up to caress your face. "You should know I won't let you near the kitchen anymore."
You groan.
"It was only a small accident," you defend yourself. Secondo gave you a scolding look.
"The accident destroyed our oven so I wouldn't say it was that small."
You sighed, knowing Secondo has a point.
"Yes, I know I'm useless in the kitchen."
"Not useless," Secondo stated, smirk returning to his lips. "Every chef needs a helping hand."
"Oh my..." you don't even finish your sentence, only bury your face into the crook of Secondo's neck. Secondo laughs a little, the sound of it being like music to your ears.
"You could have hurt yourself," he then mumbles, the tone of his voice carrying a certain weight and it makes your heart sting a bit.
"Luckily it was just the oven that got hurt."
Secondo's hand finds your neck, fingers gently massaging the skin there and you breathe in and out slowly.
"Yes, you were lucky," Secondo speaks quietly.
"Don't worry, I promise to stay out of kitchen..." you say, pressing a light kiss on Secondo's collarbone before your lips curve into a smirk. "But if you need a helping hand, I will gladly offer one."
