Edeleth Week Day 3: Summer/Beach

     Inspired by the summer paralogues in Fire Emblem; Heroes, as well as the work of IkaMusumeFan06 - Hobbyist, Digital Artist | DeviantArt who has models of Edelgard and Annette in bikinis and supports such a paralogue.

               Byleth sat in a beach chair in a black bikini, a red tropical flower in her hair, casual reading a book as Petra, in a white bikini, played beach volleyball with Shamir, who was in a blue bikini.  Nearby, Annette, who was in an orange bikini, was cooking steaks on a barbeque, testing each one with a spatula.  Sitting next to Byleth in a beach chair of her own was Edelgard, clad in a red bikini with a purple flower in her hair that matched her eyes.  Byleth smiled at her wife.  “Having a good time here, honey?” she asked.

 

               “Very much so.” Sighed Edelgard contentedly.  “The cool sea breeze, the lovely smell of Annette’s steaks, the hypnotic sound of Shamir and Petra pelting that beach ball back and forth, you right beside me...ahhh, it’s bliss.”

 

               “Glad to hear it.” Smiled Byleth.  Shamir and Petra approached the couple.

 

               “Hey, you two lovebirds want to join us for a dip?” asked Shamir.

 

               “I’m game, but…” began Byleth.

 

               “…I can’t swim.” Admitted Edelgard.

 

               “Do not fear, it will be my pleasure to instruct you on swimming, it is a great pleasure of mine!” smiled Petra.

 

               “Um, I’m a little worried, Petra…” confessed Edelgard.

 

               “El, I’ll help.” Said Byleth.  “Just swim by yourself for a bit, Shamir, I think El will need a good swimmer like Petra and someone like me if she’s going to learn to swim.”

 

               “All right, I’ll be waiting.” Sighed Shamir, turning around and dashing off.  The two led Edelgard to the water.

 

               “All right, just wade in slowly, hold onto our shoulders.” Said Byleth, her and Petra leading Edelgard into the water slowly.  Edelgard began hyperventilating and sweating nervously as the water moved up to her knees.

 

               “U-um, it-it is…quite cold…” she managed.

 

               “You’re doing great, honey, I bet you can go deeper.” Replied Byleth, giving her a kiss.  Edelgard gulped, summoning her courage, letting herself go as deep as her waist.  “Fantastic, you’ve made it up to your waist!” smiled Byleth.  “Now, lay down, let your body into the water.”

 

               “But then my head will be underwater and…NO!” screamed Edelgard.

 

               “We won’t let anything happen to you; we’ll hold onto you the whole way.” Replied Byleth.  Her and Petra lowered Edelgard to the water.  “Now, scoop your arms, move them like ice cream scoops and the ocean is a big tub of ice cream.” Instructed Byleth.  Edelgard did so, smiling a little, she did love her ice cream.  “Now, try to add kicking your legs, but keep them fully straight, it works better that way.” Said Byleth.  Edelgard added that, Byleth and Petra letting her go, the Adrestian Empress actually swimming in the ocean.  Byleth and Petra swam after her to keep an eye on her, glad their friend was working to overcome her fear.
