TW; sea urchin phobia

You and Taylor were currently in Australia for the Christmas holidays. The two of you were staying at your family's house on the beach It was the midst of December and Taylor was adjusting to the heated temperatures rather than the lows she was used to experiencing in the US. You were used to the Australian Christmas Summer having grown up there but Taylor couldn't quite wrap her head around swimming on Christmas week.

Alas, you were at the beach 4 days before Christmas. Taylor had her heart set on reading on the beach, however after lots of convincing— a few sweet kisses, you had convinced her to come into the water. Taking her hand you dragged her down to the shore but she stopped you before you could touch the water.

"What if there are sea urchins?" She asked shuddering at the thought of them.

"There won't be any where we will swim," you assured her but she was still uncertain. "They prefer deeper water baby, I promise we'll be fine," you said with a reassuring smile.

Taylor looked out at the sparkling blue water and took a deep breath, trying to overcome her fear of the unknown lurking beneath the surface, she squeezed your hand tightly. "You better protect me from any sea urchins or mysterious sea creatures," she said with in a playful tone but you could hear the seriousness in the statement. Taylor of course loved the beach usually, but she was overseas waters making her overthink the situation.

"Nothing is gonna hurt you," you smiled before you took another step into the water. After a second Taylor took a step too the salt water swarming at your feet. Already it felt refreshing against the 42ºC heat and you couldn't wait to run and dive, however you waited for Taylor to get comfortable in the water.

Soon the water was up to your waist and you couldn't wait any longer, letting go of Taylors hand you leapt into the water, the water splashing all over Taylor as you didn't move real far from her. Taylor let out a surprised squeal, her fear replaced by laughter. She blinked away the water droplets that clung to her eyelashes, looking at you with a mix of amusement and affection.

"It's so nice!" you exclaimed swimming back to her. "Will you come in with me?" you asked.

Taylor laughed, "It's already up to my waist!"

"You have to get your hair wet at least once, it's part of the experience!" you explained with a playful grin.

"You're very persuasive, you know that?" she grinned.

"I've been told I have a way with words," you replied with a wink, you took her hand and began leading her further into the water.

"Ready?" you asked as the water was up to just bellow her chest.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Taylor replied

"You've got this baby, I'll never get you out of the water after this!" you joked causing Taylor to let out a small laugh. "Okay, on the count of three," you announced, preparing for the moment.

"One, two, three!" you exclaimed, and together, you both submerged briefly under the water. Taylor emerged with a surprised gasp, her hair clinging to her face.

She pushed her wet hair back and shot you a mock glare. "There, happy now?"

"Oh come on it wasn't that bad!" you grinned as the two of you bobbed around in the waves.
