10: Kickboard — Ryugazaki Rei
You both got a little carried away.

You broke the surface right next to a familiar bluenette, promptly scaring him. With the startled yelp he gave, you recognized him to be Rei.

You couldn't believe your eyes. He was swimming with a...with a...

"Aren't you a little too old to be using a kickboard?" You giggled. He flushed with embarrassment.

Upon taking notice of said floating aid's design, you laughed harder, almost struggling to stay afloat. "That baby penguin's cute, but it's not for you!"

"Sh-shut up already!" He stuttered a bit. "It's for safety purposes."

"Pffft. Yeah, sure, like some huge wave's gonna crash over you and make you lose your grip on your-" The next thing you knew, salty water filled your mouth and you were submerged. You bobbed up and greedily inhaled some air.

Suddenly, big, rough hands gripped your sides, and you gasped. "What the f-!"

"It's your fault! You jinxed it. Thanks to you, I lost my kickboard!"

"Oh, grow some balls! Can't you at least float? I thought you were the best at the butterfly stroke on the swim team!" You retorted hotly, although you liked the way he was holding you to stay afloat.

"That's...that's the only thing I'm good at. And besides, the waves got rough all of a sudden! Let's swim back to shore."

"Okay, sure, with me as your kickboard. That sounds like a swell idea!"

Despite your little argument, you reluctantly agreed to aid him with floating. Another wave came up, and his hand, which was holding your waist, slipped to your butt. You were both surprised at this.

"I'm sorry! My hand slipped, and I-"

"Keep your hand there," You blurted out. The abrupt wave of pleasure that went through you rendered you almost completely senseless.

He seemed to get the idea, and gaining confidence, he playfully gave your cheek a little squeeze. You moaned, but some water got into your mouth.

"I think this isn't a very good idea," You said, almost breathlessly. "Let's do this when we get back to dry land."

Rei's eyes widened at your straightforwardness.

"Yes, let's."

And the rest is up to you. Huehuehue.

Oh, and by the way, the 100th reviewer gets a one-shot! But the thing is, you can't review twice in a row. You can only review again after five other users. So this will be fair and spam-free.
