Forget Me Not (Discontinued)

Chapter Twenty Three: Dazzle

Today we slept in until noon, but the moment Satoru woke up he immediately sets to getting us to the beach. He's been energetically buzzing around our hotel room since waking up. But he stops in his tracks once I get out of the bathroom dressed in my bathing suit.

"Takara-chan! You look so sexy!" Satoru practically glomps onto me. "So moe!"

It doesn't look weird? I ask him as he starts kissing my neck.

"You look good enough to eat~" he squeezes my thigh for emphasis.

Cannibalism? I look at him blankly, not understanding what he meant by that.

He laughs, "No darling, it's a compliment. You're so cute!" His lips press light pecks along my face before he goes in for a long and passionate kiss. I squeak when he pinches my butt. "Oh? What's this? What a cute reaction~" he lightly tugs on the string holding my bathing suit. "I like the way this looks on you."

Thanks, I bought it for fifty percent off.

"Well, I'd like it one hundred percent off~"

I blink and stare at him blankly; he would suck as a business owner. Stores can't just give stuff away for free.

His devious smirk drops, "Takara, that's not what I meant-"

That's an awful way to run a business Satoru. You should stick to your day job. I continue to tell him.

He chuckles and an honest smile spreads across his features. "God you're so funny. I love that about you."

I wasn't trying to be funny though. His behavior vexes me.

"I know, that's what makes it hilarious." He offers me his hand, "You ready?" I take his hand in mine and nod. Then in a split second we're at a beach. I'm practically running towards the water until Satoru stops me, "Hun, get over here. You're gonna get sunburned, let me put on some sun lotion."

I follow him over to where he has a dumped our beach supplies at. Sunburns aren't that big of a deal, I used to get sunburned all the time back in Semboku.

"Well not anymore! I can't let my love get burned by the sun and possibly develop skin cancer. I would not be a good husband if such a thing happened. Now turn around and let me see those legs." He wriggles his fingers about as he stares at my thighs with a strange intensity. I don't understand why he's getting worked up, but I chalk it up to him wanting to take care of me.

I stand in front of him as he rubs lotion onto my legs before moving to my back. For some reason I find my heart beating faster and I feel my cheeks warm as his hands delicately rubs the lotion into my skin. Why am I getting so flustered over this?

"Your face is red, did you already get sunburnt?" He looks at me with those mischievous cerulean eyes as he gently rubs lotion against my cheeks. I get the feeling he knows the true reason why my cheeks are flushed.

I sign to him before taking the bottle of sun lotion from him, I'll help you with the sun lotion next.

However I do find it rather odd that someone with his fair complexion wasn't already burnt. He smirks as I rub the lotion against his gorgeous back. "Oh? Does my fiancé want to feel me up~" I nod at him after he turns his head back to look at me. He covers up his face with his hands, "Why do I even bother..."

I notice his ears turning red and walk around him to pull his hands away from his face. You're already burning up. You should've let me put your lotion on first since you have such delicate skin.

His skin truly is delicate and soft; his pallor in combination with his muscular build truly gives off the same appearance and aura as those Greek statues in my old textbooks. As soon as I'm done putting lotion on him I grab his hand and drag him towards the water.

Satoru stops for a moment and tells me, "Wanna see something cool?" I fervently nod my head and look at him expectantly. "Hold onto me under water, I'm gonna try and share some of my infinity with you." I intertwine my fingers with his as we tread against the waves. We swim out until the water comes up to Satoru's neck and the water starts tickling my chin. "You ready?" I give him a thumbs up before we go completely under. I hold my breath and shut my eyes, so as to avoid the salty sting of the water. "Takara, open your eyes and let out your breath. Trust me." I do and find myself able to breathe under water and see with clear sight. I try to take back my hand so that I can ask how he's doing this but he won't relinquish his grasp. "I'm sorry but I need to be in constant physical contact with you in order to share my infinity. But here," he offers me his hand, "spell out what you want to say to me."

This is amazing! So you can share your infinity with me? I write out these words onto the palm of his hand.

"Kind of, I'm sharing some of my infinity but I'm also amplifying some of your own. Anyways, enough of that let's go."

We swim amongst the fish and share in the hidden beauty that lies under the water of the Seto inland sea. I got to see the truly beautiful sight of Satoru under water basking in the glow of the sunlight; making his eyes appear even more luminous. Floating underwater together, it feels like we're in a world separate from everything else. It's all so dazzling. I want to always stay by this man's side and see everything this wonderful world has to offer.

"Baby, let's head back. It's getting late." I look up and notice how dark it's gotten, then suddenly a loud sound and an explosion of color and light appears above us. "It must be the fireworks. Let's hurry."

We swim towards the shoreline as fast as we can. Soon we find ourselves trudging towards the sandy beach. I trip on one of the waves and bring Satoru on top of me. The colorful light flashes over his features as I stare up at him. He leans in slowly and presses his lips against mine. I kiss him back as I hold onto him. His tongue slips in and takes over my own. We soon need air pull back from one another.

"I can't wait to marry you tonight, I can barely hold myself back."

I smile at him before kissing his nose and signing, Then we better hurry back and sign those marriage licenses.
