🌻COVERING YOU🌻

Her skirt shifted with each step as she followed closely after her boyfriend. Her eyes glanced over the shops that were passing by, the people as they weaved in and out of pockets of empty space that no one occupied. The heat was sweltering in the air, the ocean added that layer of humidity that made the air stick to your skin while the smell of salt water bubbles in your nose.

Nova was lost in her thoughts before she ran into Axel's back and let out a small off as she tightened the grip on her canvas bag and pushed her orange shawl up her shoulders a bit.

"You want shaved ice? It's really hot out and we can go sit on the beach after." Axel beamed up at her.

Nova felt her heart skip a beat as Axel looked up at her through those glasses. She felt her face heat up as she gave a nod of her head. "Yeah, I think I would like that a lot." She hummed back as she gave a smile to him.

Axel's eyes lit up as he shifted his grip on her hand, their fingers interlacing as they stepped into the line. Nova shifted herself over closer to Axel as they stood in line, the feeling crept up the back of her spine. It felt like eyes were shifting onto her, picking every little part of her. She subconsciously squeezed Axel's hand who squeezed it back and she looked up at her before pulling her down and pressing a kiss to her cheek.

Nova giggled softly before they stepped forward. The shaved ice shack was a copy and paste of the many others that could be found around, the sugary smell of the syrup lingering. The employee was wiping down the small counter, a little paper in the window read: My name is Jim, Tips appreciated. With a little alien and spaceship beaming up money from a stick figures pocket.

"What can I get ya two?" Jim asked as he looked out of the shop window at Axel and Nova.

Axel let out a yum as he leaned up and looked at the flavor list before seeming to the right flavor. "Can I get a large Tiger's Blood? And…" Axel looked over at Nova to let her pick out what she wanted.

Nova's brain stuttered for a second before she was saying it. "B-Blue raspberry." She answered.

Jim gave a click of his tongue before dipping back into the little shack. The sound of ice being loaded before being put through the machine echoed loudly as Nova and Axel stood waiting for their order.

"You look really pretty today." Axel whispered to Nova.

She felt blood rush to face and shied away as a smile broke out in her face. She was still getting used to the compliments but when they came from Axel, it always felt right. She knew that was because he meant every one. He had been the one that had given her the confidence to buy this bikini and to wear it. It was such a lovely shade of yellow with tassels that swished whenever she did and she definitely didn't spend an extra five minutes in the mirror back at the apartment swishing them around before they had left for the beach today.

"Alright, hear you guys go. Tigers blood on the right and Blue Raspberry in the middle, and a little extra for the happy couple, blackberry." Jim said as he held out the massive cup.

It had those standard stock images of flowers around it with a wide brim that held the cold sweet snack together with two spoons speared through the top of it. Nova reached out and took the shaved ice from the man and gave a small nod of her head. "Thank you." She hummed out before she squeezed Axel's hand.

Axel tugged her way carefully, always putting himself a bit in front of her to lead her but always checking back to make sure she was still there. She wasn't going anywhere, their hands interlaced while the other juggled their shaved ice.

Axel led the way down the boardwalk path to the little gap in the railing that gave way to stairs. Him and Nova made their way down, the sun beating down as the smell of the ocean grew stronger. They popped out at the bottom and both peeked around.

The beach wasn't super crowded or at least this area wasn't. People always stuck to the more mian part where most of the boardwalk business was and the long overlook of the pier. But here it was a bit more quiet, a couple of surfaces several meters off to the left and on the other side a family often in the distance. Axel gave a nod of his head before he tugged Nova along.

The two moved together, a slight sway in their movements that felt like a subconscious dance between them. Where Axel went Nova followed and where Nova went Axel followed. It was not often that they got moments like this where the world seemed to just still let them enjoy their time by the ocean together.

They drifted down to where the waves lapped at the ocean. Axel let go of Nova's hand before letting her sit down, one hand held out with hers and the other taking the shaved ice so it didn't get spilled into the salty water. Nova sat down, her skirt fluffing up and shawl bellowing before she reached out. The shaved ice being handed off like a prized possession before Axel joined her down in the sand. His button up shirt flutters a bit.

The two of them settled in as they began to dig into the shaved ice. The blue and red mixing together as they do it to a slush of purple that they didn't seem to mind. They sat there in silence as they listened to the waves, Nova's head falling to Axel's shoulder while they sat there.

As the spoons began to hit the plastic bottom of the shaved ice cup, Axel turned to look at Nova.

His pupils dilated as he took in the sight. Here next to him was his girlfriend. Here she was in the new bikini he had hyped her up to get and to wear, knowing that she would look good and all she needed was some encouragement to wear. But the sun was slowly sinking down which lit the water like fire with a golden hue and outlined Nova. She sat there, legs crossed as the yellow fabric of her skirt sat over her legs and the delicate strap of the top tied behind her neck. The sunlight caught her eyelashes as they fluttered, the black plastic spoon still sticking out of her mouth to lick off the remaining residue of the syrup from it.

Axel's heart stopped in that moment as he felt a massive wave of awe leave him. Nova looked like she had been heaven sent, something that would have been drawn on murals and placed in sculptures. She was so beautiful and he didn't think he could have enough words in the world to tell her the extent of her beauty.

"Baby, are you okay? Do I have something on my face?" Nova asked.

Her voice is what shook Axel out of his stupor before he processed her question.

"Yes there is." He said. Before even Nova could process that Axel was rushing in.

He pressed a kiss to her cheek before up to her temple and then her jaw. The fluffy of kisses took Nova off guard but the laughter that rang from her said she didn't mind. The two fell over, the shaved ice cup being forgotten as they fell back into the sand.

Axel peppered her face with kisses, hands cupping her face like it was made of porcelain. Nova's nose scrunched up as she laughed, legs kicking out as her hands rested on Axel's shoulders as he showered her in kisses.

"Axy! Axy! Stop, I can't breathe." Nova laughed put as the sensation of the kisses closer to her ears and her neck made her body jerk and squirm from being ticklish.

Axel kissed her a couple times more before he was taking her hands in his and holding them together. The two laced their fingers together slowly, their breathing heavy and smiles on their faces.

"You look beautiful, you always do Nova." Axel hummed out before he gently rested his forehead against hers, leaving the two to catch their breath as they listened to the waves as the sun set.
