close death???(not really), just a lil bit of angst, 1 curse word

This imagine is short and sweet :))

"Gilbert would you just look at it!" You exclaim.

The smell of salt and sand filled the air, and the wind was blowing lightly through your hair.

Gilbert smiles at you loving the happiness this is bringing you.

"I'm looking, it's beautiful isn't it," he says.

"Beautiful is an understatement."

You set the blanket on the beach, then Gilbert sets the basket on top.

"I brought just about every food you like," he says with a proud smile on his face.

"Aren't you a gentlemen," you say, causing Gilbert to blush.

You start to remove your shoes, and Gilbert thinks nothing of it. But as you begin to remove your dress Gilbert becomes completely confused.

"Um (Y/N), what are you doing?" He asks.

You stop once you're to your last layer, "what does it look like I'm doing, Blythe?"

He just stays looking at you, stunned. The last thing he thought you'd do and begin taking your clothes off.

"I'm gonna go swimming," you say with a giggle.

You run towards the ocean, your arms in the air.

The water is cold, but it still feels good. You feel a few fish brush against your legs and you can't help but giggle at the feeling. Gilbert watches you from the shore, a sweet smile adoring his face.

You go out further and further, not paying much mind to what you're doing. You jump up in the water for the fun of it, and let your body go under.

That was a mistake.

The bottom of the ocean seemed to be further away than you plannned, and you have no idea how to swim.

But it wasn't long until arms are wrapped around your waist and pulling you up. You gasp for air, and the first thing you see when you open your eyes is Gilbert's terrified expression.

"You scared the hell out of me (Y/N)! What were you thinking?" His serious face always makes you laugh.

So here you are being held by Gilbert Blythe in the ocean, waves pushing against you, and you're laughing. Gilbert should get mad that you find this situation funny, but no. He's laughing as well, you laughter is always something that gets to him.

"Did I give you a heart attack Mr Blythe? Awe, were you scared?" You begin to tease him, which only makes your laughing increase more.

He rolls his eyes, "don't get so cocky."

You two make your way back to shore and sit down in the blanket.

"Why didn't you get mad when I started laughing? You seemed pretty concerned." Gilbert looks at you with sparkling eyes, then a smile.

"Because, you look too pretty when you laugh for me to get mad."

His words immediately make you blush.

"You don't look to bad yourself Blythe."
