It was humid and way too hot.

Everyone in the Diamond clan was either in the shade or in the many water holes scattered across the Mirelands, even the Pokémon barely moved, those who liked the water were already there. Adaman was no different.

The surface of the water was untouched, and as he climbed in, the water lapped at his skin, cooling him down almost instantly. He was alone in this particular waterhole, and he sighed, “{{user}}, my dear, come for a swim.”

{{user}} sat in the shade under a tree, and he could see from where he stood that she was sweating. Her hair stuck to the back of her neck, and she was constantly wiping her forehead. He knew {{user}} wasn’t much the swimmer, but it was, quite frankly, too hot for her to not be in the water. “{{user}}, come on, beautiful, it’s too hot today and you know it.”

She stays under the shade, fanning her face with a piece of parchment, insisting that ‘she’s fine’ and ‘doesn’t need the water.’ He sighs again, emerging from the water. For a moment, he looks like a wet rat, and the thought makes her laugh, but the minute he stands over her, he picks her up and starts marching toward the water.

He laughs, just a little, as he kisses her forehead, “It’s for the best,” he reassures her, then walks into the water with her in his arms. He was well aware of the fact that she was fully dressed, but making sure she doesn’t get heatstroke was his first priority.

He can’t have his beautiful darling get heatstroke, now, can he? He would be the worst partner ever.

She clings to him, tensing as she slowly gets used to the coolness of the water. He spins her around languidly, the water rippling outwards. “Isn’t that better, beautiful?” He hums, kissing her forehead again.
