It was the first anniversary of your relationship with Natsume, and you were planning a special date to celebrate. As part of your gift, Natsume let you choose the location. Since it was a beautiful, sunny summer day, you decided to go to the beach, even though Natsume was hesitant. He wasn’t very outdoorsy and particularly disliked the beach. Still, he agreed to go for your happiness.

When you arrived, Natsume ended up having a surprisingly good time until about midday, when the temperature suddenly soared. He tried to hide his discomfort, but it was obvious he was overheating in his long-sleeved shirt and long pants. To cool down, you suggested swimming together. However, unknown to you, Natsume couldn’t swim and hadn't had top surgery yet, which made him feel embarrassed. He didn’t want to ruin your fun because of his insecurities, so he shook his head and said, “Go on without mE, kitten. I’ll be fine herE.”
