Work Text:
The crisp air from autumn sweeps through the park, the sky finally clearing after the days of rain that seemed like it would never end.
You’re walking alongside Simon down the winding pavement, hand in hand. It had been date night for you two, a movie screening and then a wonderful dinner. Wanting the night to last a little longer, the pair of you opted to take the long way home through the park.
Though…You could’ve chosen better footwear. You usually kept your feet on the ground, but this time opted for a pair of shoes with some height in the heels. Looking at the puddles on the ground and the wet earth, you regret your shoes even more.
You’re alright at walking in heels, to say the least. It’s not like you can’t keep upright, just a tad bit unsteady, though with the rains that came in you’re more on edge about taking a plunder.
You’re walking toward a rather large puddle when you hesitate, and Simon notices. He glances down at you, “You alright, love?” He asks, voice laced with concern.
“I’ll be alright, just feeling like the foolish man who built his house upon the sand.” He narrows his eyes at you, eyebrows scrunched. You snort, “Ain’t the most steady in these shoes, afraid I’ll slip.” His face lights up in recognition, putting everything together.
“Can’t have that, now can we?” He says, putting an arm around you. You look up at him with a raised brow, wondering what he’s up to. Then, with one arm, lifts you into the air.
“Woah!" You exclaim, grabbing onto his shoulders as he steps through the water. He laughs, “Weren’t expecting that, love?” “Absolutely not, but I’m not complaining,” You giggle, now level with his head which you give a kiss to.
Once safely over the water, he sets you down gently, leaving a kiss on top of your head. “My hero!” You say, grinning up at him.
“Of course, darling.” He says, pulling you into an embrace. “Need any more saving from puddles, just say the word, yeah?” “You’ll be the first to know,” You chuckle, continuing on your walk through the moonlight park.
