"Meguru, I swear to god. Don't fucking drag me into the pool." Rin says as he gets yanked by his boyfriend with surprising strength. Okay yeah sure. Sue him for thinking Bachira isn't as strong as him. It would be a reasonable estimate considering their height difference and build, yet Rin should've known that all logic is thrown out window went it comes to his beloved.
"Rin-Chan, just c'mon then! its so hot outside so it'll feel so nice and refreshing." He's giggling while knowing damn well that he also just wants to see Rin shirtless, but who can blame him?
The two try their best to not get their feet burnt off on the hot stove of a pavement that's around the pool. The whole thing could've been avoided if they brought sandals but they didn't even plan the whole pool thing, considering the pool isn't even theirs.
Reo and Nagi (actually just Reo, Nagi was going to be attached to Reo's hip anyways) had invited them to one of his many luxurious houses. They were going to have a nice dark, AC cooled, movie night. A double date if you will, until the movie theater room's AC decides to shutdown completely on one of the multiple hot afternoons of June. Leaving with sweat running down their temples and backs, while their hair frizzled with the humidity.
Reo profusely apologized for it and was going to get an electrician take a look at it, therefore driving off with Nagi in tow. Before abandoning the two, he suggested they check out the humble pool in the back to cool down in the mean time. Reo knew this would instantly catch Bachira's attention before dipping in his slick black limo.
And then there was two…
—
Humble is a huge understatement.
The pool is long and basically stretched over the entire backyard; it even had one of those man-made rock waterfalls on the side. Palm tree's that surrounded the area gave some good shade to the lounge chairs that sat off to the side of the pool. This only made Bachira's eyes sparkle like a kid taken to candy store.
That's sort of a bad example considering he does act like that when taken to a candy store as a grown adult with pay check of a professional athlete. In Rin's humble opinion.
"Cannonball!" Bachira yells as he jumps into the deep end of the pool— splashing Rin in the process. He can only stand there as he gets drenched from head to toe by his boyfriend who's energy level can rival a puppy's.
"It feels amazing doesn't it? Join me! Or are you gonna play hard to get?" He flutters his wet eyelashes at Rin.
Rin sighs as reluctantly takes his shirt off and throws it onto one of the shaded lounge chairs. He tries his best to stay nonchalant as he jumps into the pool, yet its hard to do so when there's a bee that keeps bugging him by wrapping their arms around him.
Bachira is having the time of his life— he even beat Rin in a swim race! Make that a couple swim races, Rin's competitive spirit kept him rematching Bachira since he refused to go down without a singular win.
Their athletic stamina doesn't help them now as they both sit at the edge of the pool trying to catch their breathes.
"How?" Rin asks as leans back on his palms, sure the pavement is still hot but at least bearable for a couple minutes as the sun sets.
"Chigirin! I'm sure if you asked he'll give you some pointers." Bachira rests his head on Rin's shoulder, his cheek being squished as a result. "Remember how back then when we had that break between the NEL and the World Cup? He had some extreme level swim lessons."
Rin then notices how Bachira has to keep pushing his bangs back, but they just keep coming forward into his eyes. Sensing how his boyfriend is getting a little annoyed at his wet bangs, he removes the thin hair tie on his wrist.
Ever since hes started dating Meguru, hes been keeping a small yellow hair tie on him at all times. Meguru thinks it's the cutest thing ever, especially when it's very visible against the darker outfits Rin wears. The hair tie being Bachira's signature bright yellow makes it clear that its for Rin's boyfriend only. You would have to claw it out of his cold, dead hands if you're name isn't Bachira Meguru.
He gently places a hand on Bachira's chin and tilts his head off his shoulder. Followed by tying his boyfriend's bangs up— being careful that he doesn't tug unnecessarily or have it too tight.
Afterwards, he rests his hand on top of Bachira's head to give his forehead a kiss or two.
He knows for a fact that Bachira is not fragile by any means, whether that be emotionally or physically. Although, Rin won't comment on how he is mentally with that monster still being around. But it wouldn't kill him to be gentle around him, even more when Meguru melts him more than any heatwave in the world.
"Heyo! I'm back, I know you two poor souls had to be here by yourselves for a couple hours. Must've been hard!" Reo sticks his tongue out at the pair playfully.
Meanwhile Nagi follows him aimlessly as his head is tilted down to look at his screen. He's probably playing fornite mobile on his phone (read: Reo's fully covered for phone he gifted Nagi on their 260th week anniversary)
"Sei, give the two love birds their compensation!" Reo grins as he gestures to the two now watching the sunset and sharing a towel.
Nagi finally looks up from his game.
"Kay." Handing them a small plastic bag with two cold items hitting their laps.
Bachira hurriedly takes out whatever was in the bag excitedly.
"What even—?"
"Sponge-bob popsicle!" Bachira cuts Rin off as he take the wrapper off his.
The popsicle is fairly melted, giving them a very unrecognizable Sponge-bob.
"Ahhhhh." Bachira takes the bubblegum eyes and throws them up in air before catching them with his mouth.
"Wow, couldn't even leave one for me? How greedy."
"So sorry Rin-chan! Here let me make it up to you!" Bachira wraps a hand behind Rin's neck to pull him closer. He has one of the bubble gum balls between his teeth as he closes the distance between them, successfully giving Rin a bubble gum.
"Ew. I'm here." Nagi says even though he's still on that damn phone and not even looking up to begin with.
"Nagicchi! You would let Reo-kun mama bird feed you if he didn't have some dignity!"
"Yeah…true" "I'm not against it!" The other couple say simultaneously.
"Never mind, you two are disgusting."
"Says the guy who stuck his tongue out every time he so-called 'flow stated'"
"Where's the correlation in that?!"
