“Bella, are you-a okay?” You felt his hand stroke your thick thigh with his free hand as he held the steering wheel with the other. Placing your hand on top of his, you smiled. “Yeah, just nervous I guess, I haven’t been to a beach in years Lovi…” You trailed off as Romano pulled into a parking space and turned off the engine focusing his full attention towards you.

“Don’t-a worry (your name), if they-a say anything to you, I’ll-a beat them to a pulp!” You laughed as he raised his fist in the air as a declaration to those who dared to mess with you.

Leaning over in the seat, you embraced your Italian lover and kissed his cheek. “Aww, thanks Lovi, I always knew you were my knight in shining armor.” A blush bloomed on his face as he shook you off going back to his tsundere mode. 

“W-we-a should go and meet the-a others.” Grabbing the bags, you both made your way down where you saw Italy, Spain, France and Prussia waving you both over to where they had all their stuff gathered. You had to admit, the soft sand felt nice in between your toes and the sun radiating from the sky felt wonderful on your skin. 

Exchanging hellos and hugs, you sat your stuff down as most of the boys got rid of their shirts and bounded down and straight into the water. You laid your towel down and sat down enjoying watching the boys have fun. “Bella, it’s-a time to go swim.” Glancing up, Lovi was waiting for you to abandon your cover up and follow him to the glistening waters.

“I’ll be there later, go have fun with your friends.” He frowned a bit at your answer as he knelled down to you on the towel. “They’re your friends too (your name), look-a I know you’re scared, but-a I’m here for you.” He was talking lowly to you trying to convince you. 

“(your name), I love you for-a you, not how much-a you weight, I’ll love you no matter what-a.” Lovi was never one for PDA, but right then and there he surprised you with a kiss. One hand snaked around your plush, soft waist as he squeezed the flesh there as the other hand was gently laid against the back of your neck, pulling your form closer to his deepening the kiss.

As he continued to kiss you, you felt the hand that was around your waist slid up and grasp the part of your cover up that covered your shoulders as he started to slide the material down to reveal your swimsuit. The hand that was on your neck did the same thing as Lovi finally slid the thin material of the cover up off your shoulders and and down your arms.

“There, beautiful as ever my bella.” With the cover up thrown to the side, Lovi smirked at the small blush on your chubby cheeks as he lingered his gaze on your (favorite type of swimsuit). “S-stop staring Lovi.” His hand slid up your naked leg, squeezing a bit as he made his way up to your delicious thigh. “Sorry (your name), but-a I can’t, you-a look too delicious right now.” You finally smiled up at Lovi. You knew he went way out of his comfort zone to get you out of yours. You adored him for that. 

You suddenly stood up in your swimsuit, Lovi following your action. “Thank you Lovi, I feel so much better right now, I think I’m ready to go swim now.” Smiling up at him, finally feeling like yourself again. Lovi gave a small smile glad to see his (your name) full of smiles again as he grasped your hand and tugged you along making your way to the welcoming water. You weren’t afraid anymore, you were excited and confident now thanks to Lovi and by the blush that adorned his face and the small smile on his usual stoic face, he was excited too. Giving his hand a soft squeeze, you let go and started running down the sandy way.

“Betcha I can beat you to the water Lovi!” Yelling this, you turned back giggling all the way.
