----------------------
This would be the most trusting and loving relationship you could ever be in.
There is never fighting or yelling because you two talk things out and find a solution to whatever the problem is, speaking calmly and rationally.
There would definitely be beach dates.
Don’t know how to swim? No problem! You’ve got the best swimmer around (in her opinion) to teach you!
No interest in swimming at all? She’s totally ok with that.
That just gives her the opportunity to show off while you cheer her on from the sand.
If you did go swimming with her she would 100% take this opportunity to pull you onto her torso to lay while she leans back and lazily paddles about, listening to you talk about your day. This is when she feels closest to you.
She loves it when you take an interest in her hobbies. “You mean you read the book I was reading just so you could talk to me about it? I love you??????”
Gets very excited when you give her something to put into her collections.
It’s your fault she loves collecting thimbles now.
You are also her main source when it comes to getting pastries.
She loves listening to you talk and could do so for hours. She has fallen asleep with her head in your lap as you stroke her head numerous times.
Spontaneous tickle fights.
Random loving caresses. A reminder that she is there and loves you.
Always seeking out your hand to hold it.
She would call you the silliest nicknames, her favorite being ‘my little strudel’.
There have been nickname battles between you two. You come out as the victor and she comes out laughing so hard her gills hurt.
Did I mention she is a pun machine and a master at cheesy jokes? Because she is. It makes you smile and she loves it.
Loves teasing you and getting you flustered. If you ask her to stop though she would immediately. No questions asked.
Loves going window shopping with you in the small port town, the part she likes the most is watching you try on outfits. Don’t ask what her opinion is about how the outfit looks on you because her answer will always be the same, stunning.
If you are ever excited about something, expect her to be that excited as well. x10.
She can be a little loud sometimes and needs to be reminded to ‘bring it down’ sometimes.
The two of you have a date night every Friday that consists of her helping prepare a dish the two of you have never had and a movie neither of you have seen. It keeps things exciting. There have been many failed dishes and bad movies but you two have fun.
She leaves little notes around the house for you to find. Some of them are silly, but others are so heartfelt that it has almost made you cry.
She may be clumsy in life, but she makes up for it in words.
There will be times you will get random declarations of her love and devotion to you just because.
No matter how many times she has told you, it’s always as beautifully worded as the last.
And she means every word.
