There was no more exhilarating feeling than being with one you love.

Your heart races like the most powerful waves. Your mind wanders as deep as the dark depths of the sea.

Shivers race along your skin. You’re torn into a billion pieces by sheer

overwhelming impact they have; and yet, you’re pieced back together by the security of it all.

These thoughts crossed Adrien’s mind as he stood, feet planted in the still warm sand. His eyes fixated on a certain sun kissed smiling face, with two ocean eyes sparkling back at him. Her hand was cradled gently within his.

A warmth in the cool mist of the ocean spray.

“What are you thinking about?” She asked, tilting her head with a curious smile.

Her dark hair ruffled in the soft breeze that seemed to always surround the island.

A smile tickled his lips.

“Nothing.” he replied, clutching the surfboard that was in his other hand more tightly.

There were many different lagoons & bays. Different corners of their island that each held a different charm about them.

This was a little pocket however, that Adrien had discovered yesterday when he took a different route home from their school. It was reclusive, otherworldly, & perfect for surfing. Additionally, it was the perfect spot for a date with his girlfriend.

“Well?” He prompted, “what are we waiting for?”

The two ran, feet kicking up glittering soft sand behind them, surfboards swinging in hand.

The afternoon sun tinted the whole world a soft, peach color, as if leaving a kiss on their little paradise.

The teens’ hearts pounded as their feet hit the water, the aqua spray tickling their ankles.

They waded until they were waist deep, the cool water sloshing around them.

Marinette placed her hands on the red & black dotted board & hauled herself up onto it.

The waves came rolling, roaring from the horizon, curling & crushing into white foam.

Marinette had surfed before though, and laying on her stomach, she began to scoop at the water in a steady paddle.

Adrien too, climbed atop his own black board. Smiling at his girlfriend who was already riding on a curl of aqua towards the shore, he began to search for a wave.

Picking the perfect wave was almost like picking who you spent time with. If you choose the right one, it can be a wild exciting ride. If you pick the wrong one, you can get wiped out and pulled under.

Adrien squinted across the horizon, the glare made it difficult for him to see.

He saw a wave & took it, paddling at top speed, his muscles working overtime.

He felt the sudden push & lift of the board underneath him, and slowly, lifting his leg up, stood on the board.

The blond couldn’t help but smile, as the salty wind tore through his hair. The water roared behind him. His heart thumped loudly in his chest as the waves whisked beneath his feet.

After a few seconds, he lost balance & wobbled, tumbling off the board into the water.

As he hit the water he landed on top of something hard, he heard a small squeal of protest & then he was crawling onto the shore.

He shook his head like a puppy & laughed, brushing the soft layer of sand that now coated his damp arms, legs, & chest.

Marinette crawled on to the beach too, laughing & coughing.

“Wow, just knock me over like that will you!” She accused, tousling his damp hair.

“Ah! I’m sorry!” He said, reaching up & dusting some sand off her nose.

“It’s okay” she said with a smile, tucking her dripping hair behind her ear.

Her blue eyes wandered shyly up to meet his green ones, & they locked. Like the green blue waters of the Caribbean, they held storms & waves within them.

Adrien smiled gently at her, and leaning in, pressed a gentle kiss on her still glistening forehead.

“To be fair, I’m always sweeping you off your feet in some way or another, it’s almost impossible to stop” he said with a teasing wink.

In response he got a face full of sand.

It really was the perfect spot for a date.
