Prompt: Sand
They were on their honeymoon, finally, after the too-big wedding, the fuss getting ready for it, and the fuss over the engagement.
He tries not to think of that as he strokes her beautiful curls.
"I love you," he says, and she smiles in response.
I know, she says with her smile.
She doesn't speak—she only stares out into the waves, and digs her toes in the sand, a peaceful look on her face.
It's their first day here, but already they feel at home. She, especially. She tells him that her parents used to take her to the sea-side, and that was where she made friends with the seagulls which she knew so much about, and the water, which laughed at her feet, unchanging in its joy.
And he, too, is filled with joy—joy to be alive, to be with her, to be peaceful.
He whispers sweet things in her ear that she will forget in a moment, and picks her up easily in his tanned arms. He climbs back up the sand, with her laughing away next to his chest.
"I love you too," she says, belatedly, and he smiles.
I know, he says with his smile.
A/N: This is Ron/Hermione, for anyone who didn't get it. On their honeymoon on some lovely, romantic beach! xD This is my favorite so far, actually! Tell me what you think! Reviews are the only payment fanfiction authors get, after all…
