…“So, how are you enjoying your first-ever swimming lesson?” Zack ask

…“So, how are you enjoying your first-ever swimming lesson?” Zack asked cheekily, showcasing his white teeth and playfully moving his hand from the grip he had upon her waist to gently grabbing a handful of her ass. His teasing smirk and mischievous action meant to ease her worries about him for the last thing he ever wanted to do was cause her more grief.

It worked.

Aerith giggled sweetly, her cheeks a soft rosy hue as she leaned forward to gently press their foreheads together. “Hmm… Well, I’m not learning much but I think I can deal with that…for a price,” she whispered, teeth biting at her plump bottom lip as her ethereal green eyes grew heavily-lidded as she stared into his violet blue.

“…Oh really? What would that be?” Zack asked, brushing his lips over hers teasingly; his voice deeper and huskier as he wondered how he ever got this fortunate to find someone like her…

“How about we go back to the hotel room…” Aerith whispered, pressing her silken lips to the corner of his mouth as her thumb slid along the cross shaped scar on his cheek.

“…Really?…”

“Mm-hmmm…and once we get back in there, we take off these wet bathing suits…”

“…Y-Yeah?” Zack swallowed thickly, “…And…?”

“…And then…” Aerith pulled her tempting lips away from his before flashing him an wicked smirk, “We order a hugetub of ice cream and eat ourselves stupid!” she exclaimed, playfully pulling on the ponytail she made of his hair and giggling cutely when he yelped.

Zack was tempted to dunk the cock-tease into the cold water like the shower he was probably gonna have to take after all this but her beautiful bell-like laughter and adorably flushed face just had him sharing her contagious joy right alongside her.

In retaliation for her teasing, Zack spun them around in the water, the splashes of prickling icy droplets against her warm skin making her squeal and it made the raven-haired SOLDIER laugh harder. Their infectious joyful sounds lifting up into the perfect blue sky and embedding this moment in their hearts forever.

“Alright, alright, you minx,” Zack chuckled, growing still in the water once more as the echoes of laughter calmed in his chest. “It’s too damn cold for you to swim so what the hell? Let’s go get some ice cream.” Aerith’s giggling continued for a moment and he took the time to appreciate his girlfriend’s beaming smile.

“Really?” she asked cheekily, bopping the tip of his nose with her dainty finger.

Zack was tempted to nip at her finger but instead replied, “Sure. It’s a date,” he promised with a winning grin.

Aerith gazed at him, eyes echoing an age much older than her twenty two years, when her exquisite smile suddenly fell. Emerald irises growing misty as she stared so effortlessly into his soul but before Zack could even voice a single concern, Aerith was cupping his face so tenderly as if he would shatter before abruptly kissing him for all he was worth.

This all started as just the pict and just got away from me. XD I wanted to draw something fun for summer (as much as I hate this season because heat drives me insane T_T). So, I thought what better way than to have Zack and Aerith at the beach? Anyway, the full fict is in the link above if you’re interested. ;-p Have a nice weekend, y’all.

Also, Happy early Birthday, America!
