I couldn't get it out of my head, so here we are. I can't be a fruit or a vegetable, but I can be the damn ocean! lol
This fic has two previous fics it is tied to written by two other lovely people. You can find them all together on AO3.

The winds changed as night fell and the ocean rose to its challenge, racing up the shore to play tag with the residual warmth there. However, this night was a bit odd for the ocean, as it picked up a pineapple and a cabbage, both the worse for wear and entwined together by their leafy fronds. Something the ocean had never seen before, usually the fruits and vegetables it carried were not entwined and were of like kind.
Mildly concerned for them, the ocean made sure to keep the produce above water, reaching out into the air to smack birds aside when they tried to get at them. It gently cradled them to an island where it knew humans didn't go. The ocean wasn't sure why humans didn't go there, but it knew many fruits fell along it's shores and was sure that the pineapple and cabbage would at least come to no more harm there. Or so it hoped.
It left the two, still entwined, on the white sands of the island as the sun rose again to warm the beaches. It never asked for their story, but hoped that in the days to come, it might learn it of them as they spoke, or not, to each other.
