Sean had gathered all of his stuff that morning before the makeshift open house his home room teacher had hosted for him, hoping he'd get free early enough to go swimming in the pool that had recently been made known to him. Luckily, he had been released early and the gymnasium was really easy to find, so he was getting changed out in the locker rooms by two in the evening. He decided, as he left the locker room in his black and red jammers, that he would go swimming in the outdoor pool so maybe he'd get some sun. He put the sleek black goggles on his head and looked out at the water, admiring the way it looked like a sheet of glass, undisturbed by people or wind.
He stepped up the edge of the deep end, inhaling deeply and then exhaling slowly, before sliding his goggles down over his eyes and pushing so it stays. He stretches out, then gets in the typical competitive position for diving. After a moment he dives in, stretching his body and arching so he glides through the water and towards the surface. He breaks it with a splash, taking in a breath every other time he comes up as he falls into the familiar, easy movements of the freestyle stroke.
He lets his mind drift as he swims, turning under water and kicking off the wall on autopilot. He slaps the wall a few moments later, gasping for breath as he pulls himself out and collapses onto the hot stone, dripping and relaxed, goggles still on.

 Word Count: N/A Notes:And so it begins~ <3 Musical Inspitation Whining puppies. Over And Over And Over Again I TRY TO MAKE AMMENDS, FOR EVERYTHING I'VE DONE WRONG. MY WHOLE WORLD JUST SPINS. It'd been a rough day for Ritsu. He'd had to deal with more people than he would have liked, and with the muggy weather, he would have preferred to spend all day in the pool- but no, he had to to community service first. Goodness, all he'd done was set up a few jump scares in the locker rooms! It was completely not his fault that one of the students might have slipped and injured themselves! Regardless, now that his work was complete, he could finally get in a swim.
As he made his way to the pool's gateway he could already smell the chlorine in the air- a scent that made him so at ease with his surroundings. Times like these only came once in a blue moon aside from the pool, where he could drop the act and just be himself. Where he didn't have to deal with people... He sighed at such thoughts, shaking his head. Regardless, he'd enjoy his time while he had it.
Baggy, black, ripped Clothing slid off piece by piece, revealing a much brighter speedo which was a pink to black gradient. He pulled his hair back into a ponytail and put on goggles, and a nose plug- of course both pink.
He made his way to the pool itself, grinning like mad as his feet made soft patting sounds on the pavement... Only to pause the moment he sees Satou. "... Oh," He mutters, frowning. He takes a seat on the edge anyway, letting his feet slide in and kick up some water. "Hey, girly boy with the ugly face. What are you doing at the pool, huh? Go home." |

Sean ignored the tell-tell patting on the pavement that meant someone was interrupting his alone time with the pool, but he couldn't do that when the person sat down and talked to him. He looked up at the male, slowly adjusting himself into a sitting position. He looked out at the water as if looking for an answer, then debated on just diving in again and ignoring the red-head next to him.
Finally he let out a sigh, looking back at the boy blankly. "Swimming, like you wish to do, I imagine." He turns his body to the water, then slides in and clings to the edge, eyes closed as he enjoys the water. "You can swim, i won't bother you."

Word Count:128 Notes:N/A Musical Inspitation: Silence Over And Over And Over Again I TRY TO MAKE AMMENDS, FOR EVERYTHING I'VE DONE WRONG. MY WHOLE WORLD JUST SPINS. Ritsu most certainly felt his insides curl into a knot as he noted the blonde's expression. It lacked rage, it lacked pain... all those eyes held was sheer indifference, which definitely set something off in him. Perhaps irritation, if one were to gage how his eyes flared slightly, and his nose wrinkled. Yet... his brows furled in such a bewildered manner, as his splashes turned into solid thuds of his feet hitting the water.
"You're already bothering me, because you look like a girl," He finally said, arrogance filling his tone, "... You act like one too, not wanting to fight- you're a pussyfoot!" Ah, yes. He'd certainly get through to the man's temper now. He slid into the water soon after saying this, assuming he'd won. "Pussyfoot~!" |

Sean noted with a detached air that the other male was annoyed or perhaps irritated about something. He didn't think he'd done anything to piss the other off, though perhaps that was why they were angry. Most people wanted to get a rise out of others to make themselves feel better about their own, useless anger. But Sean would not be baited into a verbal spar, he'd never had much use for a fight that wasn't going to draw blood or break bones.
So he kicked off the wall of the pool and floated away, out of the area where water was splattering down from the red-head's feet. He pursed his lips at the insult, not nearly as insulted as he probably should be. Perhaps has the insult hit home... But it hadn't, and that was all that mattered. He also didn't mind looking like a girl, since he knew he had the build of a lean swimmer. Without his shirt he was undoubtedly a male.
"Pussyfoot... Did you come up with that on the spot?" He relaxes into the water, floating on his back with his ears covered by water. Everything sounded muffled and almost echoed in his ears. He continued on, voice monotone and factual. "You couldn't insult me even if you were trained in insults, so give up."

 Over And Over And Over Again I TRY TO MAKE AMMENDS, FOR EVERYTHING I'VE DONE WRONG. MY WHOLE WORLD JUST SPINS. If looks could kill, Ritsu's certainly would, right now- though it wouldn't matter much, as it was aimed at the water, and not the boy himself who'd caused this irritation. "M-maybe! You are one no matter what you say," He grumbled through gritting teeth, a flare coming to his eyes. It infuriated him, how little this boy cared. "Don't test me, either. I could make you mad if I fuckin' wanted to. And I do want to, so I will. You'll want me dead by the end of the night." A sly, confident grin came to him.
Though, this wasn't just for his ego. He needed to make sure this boy disliked him, especially if he came to swim here often... Then again, maybe he already knew him. Maybe they'd bee meeting like this for months, and he just couldn't remember...
Shaking off a vague amount of paranoia, let the water calm him with a sigh, before smirking, having an idea. "How about this, pussyfoot," He said a bit quieter, looking to him. "If you can beat me in a race, right now, I'll leave you the fuck alone." He seemed very pleased by this idea- he knew he was a fast swimmer, even if he couldn't remember beating anyone before.

Sean determined to ignore the glare since it wasn't even directed at him, floating mostly in place and breathing evenly. "I never said I wasn't one, I just asked if you came up with it on the spot and told you that it's impossible to insult me." He sighs, opening his eyes and rolling onto his front, swimming slowly through the water using a doggy paddle. "I don't doubt you would try. But i do doubt you would succeed." He looked a bit bored, actually, but he tilted his head to look at Ritsu. His eyes were almost... challenging.
He went under as Ritsu seemed to think about something briefly, unworried as was typical for him. As he came up he caught his nick name, realizing Ritsu had begun to talk. He spit water out of his mouth as the challenge was issued, eyes fixing on Ritsu's face directly for the first time.
"You're challenging me?" He paused for a moment, thinking it through. "I'll accept. But instead, if I win you have to help me organize and start up a swimming club. And if you win then you can try to piss me off all you want and I won't try to stop you or complain." He holds his hand out, staring at Ritsu as if trying to will him into agreeing. "Deal?"

Over And Over And Over Again I TRY TO MAKE AMMENDS, FOR EVERYTHING I'VE DONE WRONG. MY WHOLE WORLD JUST SPINS. Tch! Ritsu had never met someone so rage-inducing in his entire life!... Not that he could remember someone like that, but he was at least ninety-nine percent sure this person came as a rarity in the world- and that was a good thing. "You know what? Fuck you! You're just mad inside and not showing it... yeah! Pussy-fucker!" He tried to shake his fist at the boy as his tone wavered, but nearly sank doing so and- with a possibly... less than manly squeak- stopped immediately, instead grumbling as his muscular, toned limbs smacked violently against the water.
His fiery gaze only intensified with every second the blonde spent under the water, as if his very presence set off an infection that only a feverish temper could burn out. However, when the boy chose to talk, everything stopped entirely, and his brows knitted themselves in bewilderment as he put the words together...
He wanted to make a swim club? He looked... lost, more than anything, as he didn't respond and went into his mind to figure this out.
Now, Ritsu loved swimming- it kept him sane when everything came crashing against him. It brought him a happiness he never believed someone like him could know- but to make a club with people? Just the thought of being stuck in a group with so many made his stomach churn, even if he wouldn't retain any foul experiences he might have with them... But it wasn't like he was going to lose, right? He had this in the bag.
With his internal dilemma resolved and his confidence found once more, he grabbed Satou's hand a bit harder than he should have and gave it a firm shake. "Gotcha, fuckface. And don't worry about your swim club... there's no way you're gonna fucking win. How are we gonna do this?" |

Sean felt a small bubble of amusement at the words, then his eyes widened as he heard a small squeak from the suddenly near-drowning male. His cheeks took on a very light flush as he tried not to laugh. It was the only outward sign of his amusement and could even be taken as too much sun on his cheeks. He just barely manage to cover his eyes to avoid the chlorine burning his eyes. "I'm really not..."
He watched Ritsu's brows knit in thought, and after a few seconds he rolled his eyes and sighed. "Don't think to hard, you wouldn't want to hurt yourself..." As emotions warred in Ritsu's eyes he stared unrelentingly. He saw it all, from obvious rage to the slightly lost expression at his request should he win. He kept paitiently waiting, floating effortlessly in the water and creating ripples with his fingertips, tapping the surface with no real pattern.
Sean didn't flinch at the handshake, keeping his face blank despite the slight tinge of pain up his arm from the rough grip. He shook back firmly anyway, then smirked slowly. "Good. Freestyle?" He asks flippantly, wading to the edge of the pull and pulling himself out of the water. He stands against the edge, waiting on Ritsu to answer and get into postion. "Back and forth once, first one to pull themselves out and sit on the edge with their feet in the water wins."

Everything fades to black... And I wake to this world alone. LITTLE BY LITTLE IT'S TEARING ME APART, I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN Ritsu gained a flush of his own as he looked to the 'irritation' and noted how he was flustered- was that pity or embarrassment for him? Either way it made him feel shame and anger for having slipped up like that. "F-fuck off... I don't care anymore. And don't look at me like that! I don't know a ton of shit, but I know how to swim!" He huffed, splashing him once- or attempting to as he sulked in a rather angered manner.
The next words, though, caused him to jolt before he grit his teeth and muttered, "I was born fucking hurting- because when I was born? There was your damn face!" To be honest, while he tried to keep up the venomous spirit, he felt... off-put by this guy, the more he listened to him, and watched him. He was supposed to piss people off, yet this person had somehow reversed the situation. Was he even human?... The redhead had his doubts, as he bit his lip minutely.
The next words, though, made him pause as he noted the smirk. "... The fuck is freestyle?" He said plainly as he released the hand and wrinkled his nose, "I just fuckin' swim... you mean there's titles?" He could care less anyhow. Besides... all he had to do was beat him, not recite more definitions. He made his way to the edge of the pool, on the same side as the boy, but a ways away so they both had space. "Yeah, yeah, I fucking got you... let's do this."
