The Makoto Uchiha planned an entire beach trip for her family. A break away from work. "Sasuke! Why don't you invite your girlfriend? After all, she is part of the family." Sasuke swatted his mother's hand away, putting his beach bag in the trunk. "Invite her if you want, I could care less." He'd just never admit to caring out loud.
Sasuke, Itachi, Fugaku, and Makoto piled into a rented van, on their way to the beach house. Makoto always loved (Name), seeing how she brought out a different side of Sasuke. "So, Shisui is going to meet us there. I had him pick up a little care package first. How are you boy's studies going?" Makoto asked, trying to make some sort of conversation.
Itachi began talking about how great he was doing with the family's business. Sasuke dozed off quickly, not taking any part of 'family bonding'. The ride was fairly alright though, didn't feel too long but wasn't as short as he prayed it would be.
Once they arrived, Sasuke went straight to the room number which was on the key Fugaku gave him. He always found their family trips unbearable. Feeling hot, he changed his shirt and began cursing himself for not inviting (Name) earlier. Before he could even sulk under his blankets, a familiar scream rang in his ears. Sasuke curiously looked out his window to see Shisui dangling (Name) over the boardwalk entrance.
"No, Stop! My necklace might fall off! Cut it out!"
Shisui snickered as he shook her some more and enjoyed the worried panic on her face. "Put her down, Shisui," Sasuke ordered. (Name)'s face turned into happiness. "Thank God, Sasuke! He just barged into my room and forced me into a car. I'm surprised you know him." Sasuke helped her up, sending glares at Shisui.
"Well, I'm Shisui, Sasuke's cousin! I already know you though. Makoto talks about you a lot. isn't that right, Sasuke?"
Sasuke grabbed (Name)'s wrist and dragged her away from his idiotic cousin. "I'll work on sending you back." The girl raised a brow, trying to keep up with his quick steps. "But your mom said you wanted me here? When I was in the car, she called and said you were gonna be miserable."
"That doesn't mean you should be forced to be with me."
"Sasuke." (Name) yanked her hand back and stopped, causing Sasuke to stop as well, and look at her. "It's okay. I don't mind being here. You've done a lot for me so...well it's not much, but let me do this for you." A determined smile blessed her features and she reached over to intertwine her fingers with his. "You're an idiot."

After chilling in Sasuke's rental room for a while, Makoto walked in with a big smile. "Did you enjoy your gift, Sasuke?" She asked, referring to (Name) who was comfortably sitting in his lap. Embarrassed, she quickly scrambled off, earning a disproving sigh from Sasuke. "No need to be embarrassed, (Name)! Anyway, I have something for you." She handed (Name) a dark (favorite color) bikini. "Please enjoy yourself today!"
"It's so pretty! Thank you, Makoto."
"It'll look so pretty on you! You two should go swimming together." Sasuke rolled his eyes and covered his face. "Do you want to go now? You two can go with Itachi and Izumi." With those final words, Makoto left leaving them. "Sounds like fun.. are you okay with going now?" Sasuke grunted at the question, glancing at her excited face. "Sure."
(Name) came out the bathroom, dressed in her bikini and smiled at a now shirtless Sasuke. "Your trunks look better on you every time." Sasuke turned his head to his girlfriends' voice and smirked. "That shows a lot... since Itachi will be there, here." He tossed her one of his sleeveless black shirts with an Uchiha symbol knitted on the back.
(Name) frowned and hugged the jealous Uchiha. "But it looks so good on me!"
☆☆☆
(Name) waved to Izumi and Itachi, actually wearing the shirt Sasuke gave her. "C'mon Sasuke! I'm sure the water's nice and warm!" (Name) excitedly skipped into the water, and dunking her head in to fully wet herself. Sasuke followed, giving her a quick kiss on her forehead before swimming off deeper. Izumi and Itachi soon joined in the water, Itachi floating on his back and Izumi chatting with (Name).
The (hair color)tte wasn't much of a swimmer but loved to push her boundaries. "Izumi, I'm gonna see if I can swim over to Sasuke! Wish me good luck, okay?" She began he swimming to him, filled with determination. "Sasuke! I think I'm doing better." Sasuke chuckled before scooping (Name) in his arms, as he saw her face strain with concentration. "Looks like those lessons are finally paying off for you."
They starred at each other in a comfortable silence, taking in each other's features. 'I love you.' seemed to be their simultaneous thought. A big wave forming behind them soon caught Izumi's attention, who was watching from afar. "You too, be careful, there's a huge wave coming!" As soon as they snapped out of their trance, they got caught up in the wave, separating and sending Sasuke underwater.
Sasuke came back up, coughing. He took notice of the worried look on (Name)'s face. "You okay, (Name)?"
"It's gone! My anniversary necklace is gone!" She exclaimed, close to tears. "It's fine, I'll just-"
"No! It's really important to me.." She dived underwater for a couple seconds and came back up. She wasn't a good enough swimmer for diving in deep waters. She let out a loud swear and balled her fists up. "You should sit for awhile and I'll look for it." Before even replying, another sudden wave hit, massively shoving (Name) underwater, beyond her protest of trying to stay afloat.
"(Name)!"
☆☆☆
Sasuke watched silently as (Name) startled awake in his lap, sitting up. "What? Where are we...?" Sasuke dropped the anniversary necklace in her hand, sighing. "We're in a cave. I'm not sure how we ended up here, but we could still be on the beach." He turned around to a corner a spit a small pile of fire, lighting up the room. (Name)'s eyes sparkled as she watched quietly. It wasn't often for Uchiha's to use their gift of fire, but it was an amazing sight.
"I guess we're stuck here for the night."
"Yeah...Hey, thanks for getting my necklace, I love you."
"That must be your favorite phrase, huh? I love you too."
