Weakness
Part X
Multiple Man made his way through the cold, underground base, frowning heavily. Pyro wasn't in his bedroom, he wasn't in the training room, he wasn't in the kitchen… There was only one place left to look.
Multiple Man stood and watched as the fire mutant glided swiftly through the water, unable to tear his eyes from the rippling muscles on his back as his arms propelled him forward…
The pyrokinetic reached the other end and turned deftly, giving a little start as he saw Multiple Man watching him, although he didn't let it show. Instead, the fire mutant pulled a smirk onto his lips.
"See something you like?" he asked mischievously, slowing to a stop. Multiple Man arched an eyebrow but managed to keep a straight face.
"Maybe," he shrugged. Pyro grinned, stretching his arms out to his side as he treaded water.
"You coming in?"
Multiple Man laughed quietly.
"I haven't got my shorts," he replied. Pyro arched an eyebrow and leant back, the water rippling off his chest.
"Doesn't bother me."
The multiplying mutant arched an eyebrow but a broad smile spread onto his lips. Slowly and casually he kicked off his shoes, pulling his T-shirt over his chest. Pyro arched an eyebrow, unable to stop the smile pulling on his lips as Multiple Man turned his attention to his jeans, dropping them absently. With a smirk the older mutant dived into the pool, multiplying as he did so. Pyro let out a startled gasp, cursing under his breath as he tried to scramble back through the water, his eyes watching the numerous approaching figures gliding under the water. He wasn't sure which one grabbed him first and pulled him under, but he knew it was the original that wrapped his arms around him, pulling him back up to the surface.
"Dick," the fire mutant gave a little splutter, trying to look stern but he couldn't hide the amused sparkle in his eyes. Multiple Man just laughed and shook his head, leaning forward slowly, his lips barely an inch from Pyro's.
"That's how you like me…"
