(Contest entry)Romania X Timid!Reader: Summer heat

Summer, the season for trips and vacation has come for many students. It will be hot along with unbearable heat in certain countries, rainy weather in the others or just plain cold. Typically, everyone usually went to the beach in this weather.

As expected, the beach indeed was crowded with people from all over the place. You stood outside the dressing room to wait for your friends to change. Oh, you did wear a swimsuit inside the clothes but...too much skin. Anyway, after some time waiting, you were impatient and went back to the bag area you all set up before to wait. However, because there were so many people, you got lost. While you were confused, someone tapped you on the shoulder that made you yelped in surprise and turned around. It was a boy with strawberry blonde hair with beautiful red eyes and mischievous smile. He obviously was wearing a beach attire as he was currently at the beach!
"Hei, you look lost." He started.

A few awkward seconds went by with you staring at him and vice versa. Normally after that people went away when you scooted away a bit instead of answering, but this person surprised you again when he pulled you along to somewhere. Obviously, you resisted, as he was a stranger.
"H-Hey, where are you taking me?!"
"I'm Vladimir, but you can call me Vlad! You're lost, right? So, we're going to find your friends~" He replied cheerfully.
"How did yo-" You didn't manage to finish that question before he just winked at you and said "Magic~." Suspicious.
However, you still follow him around since he seemed like someone you've met before. 

The first area that Vlad took you was to get ice cream. The heat of summer along with the coolness of ice cream were great, just perfect! Though after a while he started smearing ice cream on your face and it started an all out war. Geeze, that was a new shirt. Then, after that, you was dragged into a game of volleyball because a group of friends didn't have enough people to play. You were never good at sports and when you failed, everyone might laugh at you and that would be the scariest thing of all. So you were about to decline where everyone gave you there pleading eyes. In the end, you had to play the volleyball game, thus making more friends (somehow). The game also turned out well and you had fun! It had been a while since you last talked to someone who wasn't your friends (since you were too scared to talk to people). Ah, wait a minute.....
"Aren't we trying to find my friends?"
"Well, we still are, don't worry. Did you have fun?"
Well, it's true that you had fun and it had been a while. How strange, you were only comfortable with your friends, yet this stranger was able to make you come out of your shell. Because of that, you should thank him for that the-.

Just before you were able to say anything, you heard your friends shouted from afar. You waved and were about to run to them before stopping and turned back to Vlad to give him a kiss on the cheek. That was a little bold on your part, but that's alright, as you felt bolder and more confident in yourself already!
"I'm (name), don't you forget it!" You yelled to him playfully, cheeks tinted pink when you reached your friends, laughing all the way.

You've changed a bit, today.
