Fifty

White sand. Beautiful crystal blue water. The sound of waves crashing against the shoreline. Chattering seagulls over head, crying out for attention wanting the tourists' food. 

Here you were, sunbaking on a beach chair in a bikini with Sanzu by your side. Well, he wasn't sunbaking, but he was sitting on the beach chair under the umbrella. He was a little restless, constantly looking over his shoulder. 

"What's got you so nervous, Sanzu?" You asked, placing your sunglasses on your head as you hopped off your chair and onto the sand under the umbrella's shade. 

He moved his long legs to the side, allowing you to lean against his chair. "Just a little uneasy." He muttered. "There's a lot of people and I feel a bit exposed."

You reached your arm over your head, grabbing his thigh and drawing little circles on it. "I see." A moment of calm silence overtook you both, before you suddenly stood up, grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet. "How about we enjoy this week while it lasts?" You asked him, with a menacing smile plastered over your face. 

"Whoa what are you plan-"

You smacked his ass playfully, making a run for the water, knowing he would come after you. 

"Oh you're getting it now," he growled, chasing after you into the water. In no time, he had caught up to you, dragging you under the water's surface. You breathed in a bit of air as you rose to the surface, going back under to grab Sanzu's leg and do the same to him, before swimming away. 

You laughed out loud as you removed the seaweed from your hair. Sanzu popped out next to you, holding out your sunglasses that must've fallen off. "Oh, thank you."

"Can't believe you got me into the water. I'm going to burn." He muttered, grabbing you by the waist and pulling you closer to him, before peppering your shoulder and neckline with small kisses. 

You let out a little squeak at his kisses, wrapping your arms around his neck. "Hope you put on some sunscreen. You've always been awfully pale." You commented, running your fingers down the middle of his chest, feeling him shiver slightly under your touch. 

There was a moment of silence which filled the air, as the two of you just floated in the water.

"I love you, Sanzu." You whispered.

He looked down at you with a tender look full of love, his pupils widening slightly. The corners of his eyes wrinkled as his lips creased into a rare smile; wrinkles that appeared with age that you haven't noticed over the last few years until now. 

Time sure does fly.

He leaned his face in close, rubbing his nose against yours. "Love you too, sweetheart." 

"Thanks for coming here with me. I missed having you around me in Vienna."

He chuckled. "I can't say I missed you though," He joked, earning a pinch to the side, as he twitched and let out a small yelp. "Thought, I still can't get over the fact that you made friends with the Viennese boss. That's so wild. So badass of you."

"What can I say," you stated, shrugging your shoulders. "I'm just cool like that." You noticed that Sanzu's shoulder had a pink tinge on them. "Oh honey, you're already burning. Let's go back into the shade. Don't want you to match with your hair, that'll be disastrous." 

Grabbing his hand, you waded through the waves back towards the shore, humming softly. Sanzu grip tightened ever so slightly on your hand, his thumb running over the back of your hand. 

You suddenly pulled quickly at his arm, hopping/running towards your beach umbrella. "Fuck, the sand's burning my feet!" 

Sanzu laughed behind you, quickening his pace and eventually standing next to you. Swiftly, he lifted you up and over his shoulder, before sprinting to the shade cast by your beach umbrella. He let you down softly on your beach towel. "My princess," he said, lifting your hand to his lips and kissing it softly.
