Disclaimer- I don't own pom
The next morning Private awoke early and quickly ran over to his closet in excitement. He knew his uncle's house almost as good as his own uncle,so he was aware of a pool at the back of the house. He'd been planning on heading over there as soon as the rain stopped on the next day, to his surprise it stopped overnight… And sure it was the near the end of December, but it was still warm enough for rain to fall instead of snow, so it would be okay to swim.
Back to his task, he bagan moving some boxes in order to find his sky blue towel and his swimsuit to go out to swim. He quickly found his full body swimsuit, towel and even some goggles to go swimming with. He changes into the suit and puts on his goggles around his neck before he leaves his room. Quickly and quietly, he went down the stairs, minding the others in the house. He walked into the living room and found his uncle sitting on the couch, reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.
" 'Morning uncle Nigel", greeted Private.
"Good morning, lad. Great to see you up this early. Are the others still asleep?", his uncle asked as he looked up from his paper.
"Still asleep I think", Private says as he began to play with the goggles around his neck.
"Well that's alright, I suppose. If you want to go swim, judging from the clothes you are wearing. The pool is right outside ready to use, but it the rain starts again you come right back inside, alright?"
"Yes uncle Nigel.", Private says as he bounds for the sliding glass doors at the hallway next to the kitchen. He opens the door and runs through his uncle's rose garden, heading over to the large 18 x 36 ft. ground pool. 'Being a super secret agent must have it's benefits.', Private thought as he began to remove the sheet that shielded the pool water from debri.
Once that was done, Private walked over to the diving board at the edge of the pool and walked to the end of it. Jumping up three times, Private made a summersault in the air and dove into the pool, breaking the surface of the water easily.
(Rico's POV)
I woke up to the sun hitting my face and my mouth dry. Reluctantly, I sat up and took the glass of water from my nightstand, drinking it all in one go. Well i'm already up, so I might as well go and see if anyone else is up. Getting up, I begin to stretch my body, silently missing our pool back home. Sure it was part of training to go swimming for a while, but it was a fun part of training.
I leave my room and head towards the bathroom, when I enter I immediately begin to brush my teeth and whole mouth. Man, why is the human mouth so sensitive? It feels so slimy in the morning and these teeth get in the way a lot. But I guess now we can actually chew, that satisfaction of being able to actually break down food and get texture from it, it adds a whole another degree to eating.
I finish up in the bathroom and walk back to my room, changing into some casual clothing for the day. Come to think of it, what day was it? I began to cough in order to get a calendar I stored in my stomach… only I couldn't do that anymore and at this rate I would hack up a lung. Giving up, I went back to searching for a comb for my hair. Yes, the 'madman' Rico is using a comb, I don't just wake up like this, you know?
Somewhere during my search, my thoughts wandered to yesterday's discovery, Private's box. It's so strange that he kept something like that under his bed, even weirder that he never told any of us. It was also weird nothing was in his classified file about this. Yes, I read those when i'm bored, no I don't have permission to read them. Does that make me a bad person? Maybe.
Still, it was just wierd, I always thought the little guy to be an open book type guy, I guess not. I know it's all probably personal, but I can't help but wonder who were all those people in the photos? I wasn't too interested in many of the people, but one did catch my attention. He was a tall man with a white streak of hair on his black bangs, he seemed pretty muscular and tough, but around Private he would give his largest smile and carry Private or even hug him.
Suddenly that thought brought a dull throb to my chest because I was reminded, Private had a life before he reunited with us. Those years we weren't with him, Private had to have done something in the meantime. Was I really jealous?
A splash outside disturbed my thoughts, maybe I was going crazy, but i'm sure that was water. Well, time to drop what i'm doing and walk over to the window. As I look out, I see Private swimming around in a pool in the backyard. YES! I rush out of my room, to join Private in the pool, although I still have his box in mind.
A/N- I'm really sorry that I haven't been updating as early as usual. It's been a full week with midterms and whatnot. I also wanted to give a shout out to a boy who passed away in my brother's school. He was a really young and energetic kid, it was so sad to see the other kids in his class start crying and asking when he was coming back. I hope he's found happiness wherever he may be and may the family also find peace with this great loss. I personally didn't know him, but you really do feel the weight of reality weigh down on you. The fact that a kid like that died in an accident, who's to say it won't happen to you the next day? It really depressed many people around me and me myself as well. Again I apologize with the delay, and I hope to see you all real soon, bye.
