07 | Introspective: I

     Stupid me.

     Then, he turned around and if it weren't for me I would've passed out right then and there but truly, I was sure that he was not only the tallest but the most built man in Ordon.

     His chest popped out in which you could see the muscle lining beneath the skin, his creases in between his abs were so perfectly placed. His shoulders so broad, and his arms so bulky in the right ways. He only had on his short leggings. Maybe he wasn't the biggest attention grabber, but damn maybe if he fixed himself up a bit he could be a solid 9/10.

Wait, what?

     "Come on, Y/N," he said excitedly as he dove in. The splash nearly wet me before I backed off. I giggled a bit. "It's not so cold, come on in," he assured when he resurfaced, wiping water from his face. I hesitated to take my skirt off since I didn't wear any leggings today, only some dark green underwear. But oh well, maybe it's okay to have a bit of fun.

     I took off my skirt and immediately dove in out of embarrassment. The water was surprisingly not so cold as he said, and it felt good on my skin. It felt like it wrapped me in its loving embrace, I curled up in a ball and hugged my shoulders under the water. My hair flowed loosely above me. But I could feel my wound didn't agree so much. The padding under my tight top was getting filled of moisture, and it was a bit uncomfortable but I could deal with it a while. I eventually resurfaced and heard Fado chuckling. I wiped my face and slicked my hair upward, finally looking at him. "Feels nice, doesn't it?" He tilted his head at me. I nodded, smiling. "Come," he called, and began swimming off slowly so that I could keep up. I swam after him.

     Soon, I realized where we were headed and I hesitated a bit. I would swim before when I was small, but I never went beyond the two cliffs that seemed to hug another body of water. It seemed scary back there, my anxiety always got the best of me. Fado looked back and noticed that my swimming faltered, so he began approaching me. "What's wrong?" He worried. I only shook my head, "n-nothing." He swam closer, took my hand and continued swimming. "If you get tired, Y/N, hold onto my shoulders," he offered. I wasn't that tired, but I was tempted for sure.

     As we continued swimming I glanced amongst his shining shoulder muscles, glistening from the sun.

Why not? Just to feel some spice in my life.

     Without hesitation, I lunged myself forward to align atop his body and held onto his shoulders. I heard him laugh but he didn't look back.

What am I doing?

[Are you uncomfortable yet?]

     Then and there, the embarrassment hit me.

     Why was I trying to gain spice from this? He's my employer and it doesn't feel right in the first place. My cheeks were so red, I was glad he couldn't see me. My chest was in knots.

     Man.

     I didn't let go, though. I felt it would be weird to since I was already here.

     Soon as we made it near the cliffs, I noticed a rocky pillar right in the middle of a giant circled body of water. There were lily pads and such surrounding it, it was quite pretty. I admired the trees above the hole we were in, how they swayed above us. I admired the way lilies left a path in which Fado would swim through. It was beautiful, the water so clear and the fish so visible. Eventually, I noticed we were swimming behind the rock in the middle, where it had a small platform attached. I'm guessing this was the place.

     I let go of him when he stopped, he pulled himself up on top of the platform. Sitting on the edge, he grabbed me by my underarms gently and lifted me to sit me next to him. There was a short silence. I didn't look him in the face, I just admired our surroundings.
