"Oh come on it's not that bad" I said after opening the passenger door for him. Though he just sat there with his monotonous facial expression. "We're already here, you could at least tryy to look happy. Now come on."

Great, now that I've spent weeks coaxing him into coming I have to drag him by his ear just to get him out of the car. I let out a small sigh and rolled my eyes. Offering my hand I waited for him to take it but he just sat there trying to look over the rocks, separating the beach from the parking lot.

"Severus are you going to continue to be an intolerable crank all day or actually try to have some fun?" I waited. He groaned and unbuckled his seatbelt.

I locked the car after he was out and started opening the bag I brought. "Here. Put that on your face and arms, rub it in. Oh, and take off your shoes." He shot me a skeptical look and grabbed the sunscreen from my outstretched hand.

"Why do I need to take my shoes off?" I chuckled at how clueless he was, but I was surprised that he didn't question the sunscreen.

"Because you'll want to take them off once your feet hit the sand, it's not very sturdy to walk on with shoes. It's not as sturdy as the sand at the black lake. Also you're not going to like it when you get sand in your sneakers."

"But you're wearing shoes.." He said with furrowed brows.

"Yes, these are sandles I'll take them off before we step in the sand. You however are wearing sneakers, I'm just trying to spare you the trouble okay? Now would you just do as I say and put on the sunscreen and take off your shoes, and socks." He began to do as he was told and before I knew it I was pulling the stubborn potions master through the sand.

He stumbled a few times and gave me a shy look after almost pulling me down with him. Now that we weren't within the walls of the castle he was slowly letting his gaurd down, his confident demeanor no longer needed.

I looked over to see that he was getting kinda sweaty "Sev,"

"hm" Severus hummed in acknowledgement, looking around at all of the smiling families.

"It's pretty humid, why don't you take off your shirt?" I suggested.

"No i'm okay" he said simply. I stopped walking and stood infront of him. "what?" he tilted his head, confused.

"It's 90°f(32.2°c) out" he didn't look at me but it seemed he was looking at something. I turned around, following his gaze to find a man with his shirt off, who had a six pack. I turned back to Severus and gave him a concerned look. He avoided eye contact.

I cupped his cheek with my hand causing him to look over at the sudden contact. "Hey.." I started not sure where I was going with this yet. He looked back over my shoulder. "Look at me." My voice softened.

"Though it may feel like it at times, you're not alone. You don't have to look a certain way for people to like or care for you, you don't have to be skinny or muscular for someone to love you. If they do truly love you they wont care what you look like. I love you just the way you are, without change. Even when you're in that teacher mode of yours." He smiled at my last sentence and nodded.

"okay," he mumbled playing with the hem of his shirt.

"Besides. We don't know these people, and we most likely will never see them again."

He pulled the shirt off and looked around, there was no one looking at him. No one but me. He gave me a shy smile and I gave him a wide smile in return. I outstretched my hand for him to take once again and we kept walking.

"Would you like me to put your shirt in the bag so you don't have to carry it anymore?" He answered by handing me his black t-shirt. To which I opened the tan beach bag and plopped it in.

He surprised me by grabbing my hand back after I had finished zipping the bag. I chuckled at his neediness and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

After about 40 minutes of walking we stopped at a confession stand, mainly for food but partly because I didn't want to hear anymore of Severus complaining that his feet hurt.

He sat at one of the picnic tables that were off to the side and watched as I payed the woman at the counter and grabbed the tray of food. Severus had requested curly fries as he always does when we go to a muggle restaurant; ever since I made him try them about a year ago he's become infatuated with the greasy junk food.

Almost the second I placed the tray on the red picnic table he started grabbing at the fries.

"Jeez Sev could you wait any longer?" I asked, with sarcasm clear in my tone. He looked up at me, as I hadn't even sat down yet.

"Sorry." He gave me a thin-lipped smile and ate one of the fries, not rushing this time.

We finished our lunch and looked for a spot to set up.

Severus asked for us to stay until dark. At first I was surprised but never the less we stayed and had a great time.

I was also surprised when he opted to go swimming, I'd always thought that he would be afraid of the water. He got comfortable very quickly and soon we were splashing and laughing.

Severus even throwed me in a few times. I tryed to dunk him but I couldn't get him under.

The night went by so quickly and by the time we had gotten back home it was almost morning.
