Summer break

Ah, summer break.

A whole lovely week off classes, away from the hard dancing practices and revues just to enjoy the nice yet slightly suffocating weather as she wets her sore feet in a calm stroll through the shore with the light marine breeze blowing swaying her ash-blonde hair and as silence fills the air, only being broken by the sound of the waves crashing against some rocks, before she relaxes under the shadow of a beach umbrella drinking something cold while reading a thrilling book.

Or it'd be as calming as such if it wouldn't be because a certain infuriating brunette has been pestering her ever since the moment she set foot on the sand, barely giving her time to set up their beach umbrella in the sand and spread out their towels, before she found her giving her the best puppy eyes she could muster while wagging her invisible tail excitedly.

- I've said no – Claudine states as she tries to concentrate on the book in her hands.

- But ma Claudine, I don't want to go into the water alone.

- So what? I have to go with you? – Claudine asks bothered as she looks up from her book to see a cheeky smile playing on her girlfriend's lips – Never mind, don't answer to that.

She ends ups saying as she lets out a long sigh, hearing Maya giggling.

- Of course you have to. You need to make sure nothing happens to me – Maya says cheekily, outraging Claudine.

- Hah!?

The ash-blonde exclaims loudly, earning the gazes of the few people around them, making her blush hard and embarrassedly upon catching some unwanted attention, before she glares at her girlfriend just to see how her cheeky smile slowly morphs into a pout as Maya gives her the best puppy eyes she can muster.

- Please, ma Claudine.

Maya begs her girlfriend cutely while tilting her head, seeing Claudine shutting her eyes tightly, before she sighs heavily, giving in to her adorkable girlfriend's request.

- Urgh, fine. Just let me finish this chapter first.

Claudine exhales as she returns to the story filling the pages of the book in her hands, seeing Maya giving her a beaming smile as she waits patiently beside her for the ash-blonde to finish it as she told her.

As soon as the ash-blonde puts a bookmark on the page containing the new chapter and closes the book to set it on her towel, she can't help but chuckle at the excited expression adorning her girlfriend's face, seeing Maya standing up quickly to then hold out a hand for her.

The ash-blonde can only grasp Maya's hand, letting her girlfriend pull her towards her as she helps her to stand up.

- Honnêtement, sometimes you truly are like a kid.

Or a puppy.

Claudine thinks to herself the last part as her rather excited girlfriend kiss her cheek and guides them to the shore in between giggles, squeezing Claudine's hand, before she goes in first.

- So? How is the water? Good? – Claudine asks playfully as she notices a chill running down Maya's spine causing her to get goosebumps while clenching her teeth.

- Y-yeah, it's g-good.

Maya stutters, trying to smile at Claudine yet failing miserably apparently, making Claudine snort.

- Good. Now that I've accompanied you so you wouldn't get into the water alone, I can go back to resume my reading.

Claudine says with a smug smirk on her lips, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she turns around leaving a slightly shivering and flabbergasted brunette in the water.

- Wha- but ma Claudine! You promised me to get in the water with me! – Maya exclaims as another chill runs down her spine, quickly getting out of the water to chase her girlfriend through the sand.

- I didn't promise anything such a thing, ma Maya.

Claudine states cheekily, grinning at Maya while almost making it to their towels to go back and read her thrilling book, when suddenly she finds herself being lifted in the air.

- Eek!

She squeaks out as Maya giggles, throwing her girlfriend over her shoulder as she undoes their steps towards the water.

- Tendo Maya, I swear if you don't put me down right now, you're going to regret it!

Claudine threatens her dork girlfriend, kicking and hitting her lightly while Maya makes her way back to the water with the ash-blonde still on her shoulder as if she didn't weight anything.

- Are you sure, ma Claudine?

Maya asks slyly as soon as they're in the water, smiling malevolently while the ash-blonde holds onto her as if her life depends on it.

- Tendo Maya, don't you dare- KYA!

Claudine's loud yelp can be heard going through the lengthwise and widthwise of the beach, mixing with a loud splash as well as the laugh of a certain infuriating brunette filling the air.

- Tendo Maya! You're dead!

Claudine threatens her girlfriend, a strong splash emphasizing her words while she glares at her menacingly as soon as her head emerges out of the water with her cheeks puffed out, and after water is coughed up.

Maya, far from feeling threatened, can only laugh harder at the cute and funny sight of her girlfriend, pissing the ash-blonde off more who quickly begins to chase her through the water in her run away, launching at Maya's back to manage submerging the brunette's head under it as soon as soon as she catches her and before they begin a water splashing war, the relaxing time resting with her thrilling book far forgotten.
