A/N: Okay, so the other day – about a month ago – I found out my favourite show as a child H2O: Just Add Water, was having a new season (If you don't know what it is it's an Australian show... I think). So, here. Enjoy this niff fic – I am not telling you what it is about if you don't know :D
Nick had never been one with water or the ocean. To be honest, he stayed as far from it as possible. Now, he was on a boat on it's way to a mysterious island. It wasn't his choice though, he begged and pleaded to stay home, but his parents insisted it. They said it would be a great way to get out of the house. He knew the real reason though. They wanted him to stare at girls in bikinis. They wanted him straight. Nick laughed allowed, it was because he was gay. But it musn't have gone through their heads that other males would be there, not to mention Nick's best friend Sebastian.
Nick stared down at the water, a sick feeling passing through him. He hated the stuff and in his mind, it was only good for drinking and bathing. He saw something glimmer in the water and looked closer, What was that? He thought to himself. Rubbing his eyes. It had to be his imagination. He sat on the ledge just as Sebastian jumped at him.
"Hey!" He shouted. Nick jumped.
"Shit! You tool, I could have fallen in!" He sighed, thankful Seb knew his fear? Was it a fear or a dislike? Nick peeked down at the water again and his stomach churned. Fear, definitely fear. He confirmed quietly.
"So, Nick. Checking out the babes?" Seb laughed, he was straight but totally okay with the shorter brunette, "I'm getting a drink, I'll be back" and just like that, Sebastian left. Nick stayed seated on the rail, looking at his leather boots. He took a deep, calming breath as he listened to the seemingly threatening sounds of the water against the boat. He looked up when a shadow cast over him, hoping it was Sebastian. No such luck. Nick was about to say something to defend himself from Blaine, the bully from William McKinley that was out for the brunette's throat, but it was too late. He was hiested off the seat by the other midget-like boy and pushed into the water. There was no time to scream as he was already sinking. Deeper and deeper. Air escaping him. As his eyelids grew heavy, he felt a pulling feeling. The last thing he saw was a short stream of gorgeous blonde curls.
Nick woke up on the shore of the island, he was drenched. Sebastian came running up to him, "Dude! Are you okay?"
Nick coughed slightly, unable to speak. Sebastian pulled him along.
"Okay everyone!" A cheerful blonde smirked, he was gorgeous, "Time for some fun activities. Swim out to buoy and back."
Nick rolled his eyes as everyone started to run for the water. He walked to the instructor, "Sir... I can't swim." He kept my eyes down.
"Oh..." His voice sounded so deep and calm... like a wave slowly crashing in the shore. Nick looked at his name badge, Jeffrey, "Well I have plenty of other activities in store..."
Nick nodded, not paying attention. His eyes caught with the other. It was like sea green pearls engulfing a shadow of black. Jeff's eyes were amazing.
"Young man?" Jeff asked, though he was probably the same age. Nick's attention returned, "See that rock over there? It's not far. Could you try to swim out to it?"
Nick instantly froze. His breathing picked up and he shook his head, he couldn't. He just couldn't.
"Little man, calm down" Jeff whispered, rubbing Nick's back.
"I-I need to go..." Nick said, running off.
Nick tossed and turned in his bed, jerking up when he heard a loud splash. He got his bed gown and stood up, walking out to the breezy night. He looked out to the water, which looked like someone had dived in. Or fallen.
"Shit!"
Nick ran to the shore of the water, looking in desperately. Jeff! Nick could have sworn he saw the blonde. But he was gone. Nick sat back on the sand, waiting.
"Home is behind, the world ahead. And there are many paths to shread. Through shadow, cloud and shade. All shall fail, all shall fade"
A voice sung in a soft lullaby, ushering Nick to sleep.
"I hate the water, ocean, fish and everything in between" Nick grumbled to his only friend, "They are disgusting and stupid"
Jeff heard this conversation, it almost broke his heart to hear suck negativity towards something he grew up with. But he had a plan. Boy did he have a plan.
"'Scuse me Mister" A little girl said, pulling on Jeff's shirt, "Why don't you ever go swimming?"
Nick's head snapped around.
"Because I have to make sure everyone is safe" The blonde smiled though it was obvious he was lying. He was hiding something.
Nick kept it in mind to find out why he would lie. The sky was a dark grey colour and no doubt would it rain soon. Jeff looked physically scared. The first drop fell and soon enough it was pouring. Jeff went running towards the water, Nick followed.
"Nick!" Sebastian shouted over a loud crack of thunder, "What are you doing!"
Nick didn't listen. Jeff vanished into the water and Nick – being a total idiot – tried swimming after him.
A/N: So... I hope you enjoy it and please review :)
