Dave Miller x Reader 【BlueyCapsules】

Grabbing Dave's hand, you booked it, leaving your coworkers in the dust. He laughed a little as you led him over to the shoreline, tugging and urging him to hurry up before someone saw you two. As soon as you reached the water's edge you released him, plopping down in the sand. Leaning back on your hands, you tested the water with the tip of your toes to find it was still warm. You sighed, stretching out your legs completely and letting the waves engulf them as they rushed to shore. The grains of sand that they carried brushed against your skin, tickling you.

You glanced up to see Dave still standing there like he didn't know what to do with himself. Smiling, you patted the ground next to you and he lowered himself down with a grunt.

"I just needed to catch a break for a bit," you explained. "Looked like you did, too."

"Damn straight," he huffed, experimentally wading in the water before deciding it was okay and copying your position. "It has not been much of a vacation so far, I tell ya what."

"Yeah... Is your ear okay?"

"Hurts like a bitch, but I'll be alright, I reckon."

"Sucks," you hummed, looking out where the sun was beginning to sink into the sea. You saw Dave grin at you out of the corner of your eye.

"Wanna go for a swim?"

"Haven't you seen Jaws?" You laughed, only to be met with a confused look. You cleared your throat awkwardly. "...'kay, guess not. Anyways, not a good idea to swim in the ocean at night."

"Well, I'm goin'," he announced, jumping back up and slipping his shirt off.

"Dave, no, really," you whined, "it's not safe. It's getting dark."

"There's still plenty of light," he scoffed, already making his way in. He crouched down in the shallow water, maneuvering around a lot like a crab. "Come on in, the water's fine!"

You shook your head and he narrowed his eyes. "You'll be okay, ya pansy. Just stay where you can touch."

Against your better judgment, you stood up and removed your shirt and shorts begrudgingly, once again leaving you in your swimsuit--only this time you couldn't really hide behind a life jacket. Your legs resisted against the water as you shuffled in. Dave was looking up at you with an unreadable expression and you sighed, "what--"

Before you could finish, two hands gripped at your legs and pulled them out from under you, sending you toppling over into the water. You sputtered as you tried to process what the hell just happened. Dave was absolutely losing his shit, pointing at you and gasping out, "you should see the look on yer face!" Oh, this meant war.

Pushing your hair out of your eyes, you sent a big splash of water his way, hitting him right in his wide open mouth. He started coughing and you laughed before he did the exact same thing to you. You went back and forth, splashing each other and laughing like a couple of kids.

"Quit it, you ass!" You yelled playfully, shoving him over. "Don't make me waterboard you!"

He shot back up, wiping the salty water off his face with a grin. "I'd like to see ya try!"

"C'mon, truce?"

"...Fine. I won, though."

You scoffed but didn't argue with him, peering down into the water. It was getting darker, but the water was clear enough that you could still see the bottom.

"Help me look for shells, Tex!" You giggled, plunging your hands into the water. You felt around for a bit before your fingers brushed up against something pointy. Got one.
