Doubt II: Weird thoughts

They entered a big room made of white tiles. On the left, a big mirror running all the way back to the opposite wall to the entrance. A third wall in the middle of the room cut it in half. On this wall another beautiful set of mirrors and some sinks were disposed. On the right side, 6 toilets and 5 urinals.

Wyatt got to a sink and took off his hoodie. He tried pouring some water on the stain while Matthew went to take a leak. Once done the latter washed his hands in another sink and then dried them before getting to Wyatt with an apologetic look and his hands holding each other in anxiety.

Matthew: "Hey man, I'm really sorry" (*looking concerned*)

Wyatt: "it's cool it was an accident. Besides it probably..." (*sighing a bit frustrated*)

Wyatt tried again and again to run some water on the stain but it wasn't coming off no matter how hard he scrubbed. Matthew got closer and his right hand slightly brushes Wyatt's one while getting to the hoodie earning a blush from Wyatt. Matthew turned to him and said "here let me help you" Wyatt was about to protest but he was already scrubbing the stain away with more vigorous movements than Wyatt.

Wyatt: "it went away?!"

Matthew: "I have a big family, I've been used to do laundry the old fashioned way...although we do have a washing machine now, I don't mind using my hands from time to time. It didn't totally got off but this is the max I can do without damaging the fabric of your hoodie" (*wringing the hoodie from all its water*)

Wyatt looked as the alligator muscles were almost tensing from the actions, he looked at the way the scales glistened while wet and how they seemed to have changed color. Water droplets were running down his big forearms while he was wringing the hoodie. His eyes narrowed as he focused on this task. His gaze wasn't anything terrifying, it was soft yet quite intimidating. He then turned to an absent minded Wyatt.

Matthew: "Wyatt ?"

Wyatt: "sorry what?"

Matthew: "you've been out or something ? I was saying you can't wear this unfortunately. It's still wet and you will get cold"

Wyatt: "oh huh, (*looking at his reflection and realizing he was not wearing anything underneath that hoodie and now half naked*) oh shoot"

Wyatt quickly tried hiding his chest with his arms by crossing them awkwardly. His ears falling down as he looked at Matthew completely dumbfounded.

Matthew: "huh? What are you doing?"

Wyatt: "hm...I am half naked" (*embarrassed*)

Matthew: "(*chuckles*) It's fine buddy, I don't mind. I do swimming, so I am used to see people almost naked (*blushing and scratching his neck awkwardly*) that did came out weird, what i meant was it's fine, there's no one else and huh...(*thinking*) here"

Matthew unbuttoned himself and took off his shirt. Matthew's had a black T-shirt inside apparently. It was quite fascinating to see, the way his scales turned a lighter hue from under his chin to his chest.

His chest was quite toned and his abs quite obvious to sight even through the T-shirt. His entire frame, from his giant shoulders to his defined back, everything shouted that he was indeed an athlete. Wyatt's breath was taken away by the display, he was confused by what was that feeling he was having and he thought it was wrong so he just stared blankly as Matthew extended the shirt.

Matthew: "I know it's pretty awkward right now, and since we met like yesterday it sounds even more inappropriate but I don't have any other solutions. You can have my shirt if that's fine with you" (*looking concerned and apologetic*)

Wyatt looked at the shirt then at Matthew.

Wyatt: "you had a T-shirt under that? "

Matthew: "and you had nothing underneath a hoodie? "

Wyatt: "I forget that sometimes, a bad habit I'm fighting"

Matthew: "well, I need extra warmth sometimes, I'm cold blooded" (*chuckling*)

Wyatt: "fair point"

Matthew then waved the shirt.

Matthew: "so huh..."

Wyatt paused for a second, thousands of things got through his mind at the same time but he had to clear his throat before saying.

Wyatt: "I appreciate your gesture...huh I huh will take it" (*slightly blushing*)

Wyatt took the shirt and put it on. It was really oversized on him but it kinda looked decent. Matthew smiled and said "Metal"

Wyatt: "say what?"

Matthew: "an expression, just to say it's awesome on you"

Wyatt: "well, yeah it is"

Matthew: "I will take your Hoodie home and get it clean before giving it back, promise"

Wyatt: "oh it's fine I can do it myself"

Matthew: "I insist man, It's my fault"

Wyatt tried to reject the proposition but conceded defeat to the apologetic alligator.

Matthew: "okay, shall we get back in for the movie?"

Wyatt: "yeah"

They got back in and went back for their sits. As they pass before Lauren she asked "did it cam-" she stopped mid sentence as she noticed Wyatt was wearing Matthew's shirt. She looked at the latter and then back again at Wyatt who just wanted to get past her and sit.

Lauren: "First of all, Matthew, I am going to steal that shirt, it's a Guess from last year summer collection, right? Yeah totally, my fire. Secondly, you guys should sit, the movie is about to end."

Wyatt: "wait what?"

Lauren: "yeah, well not sure it's going to be the case"

Wyatt got to his sit and Matthew got past him to get to his. Wyatt took out his phone, "3:45PM" he gasped in disbelief he wondered just how long all of this debacle took. After less than 10 min the movie ended.

The lights turned on again and Pr. Vinogradova started talking "Okay i hope you all enjoyed this master piece. This is one of the things here at RASAC we will expect from you. Being able to transport us into a realm of creativity and experiences of art. This concludes our today's class, now you have to do a summary of it for tomorrow. Ok bye" she stormed out as everyone was completely flabbergasted and lost.

Wyatt and Matthew instantly turned at Lauren.

Lauren: "what?"

Wyatt: "well huh..."

Matthew: "we missed pretty much the whole thing, think you can do us a brief summary "

Lauren: "me? (*laughing*) oh please sweetie, I didn't pay attention till the end. I barely got it through half of it. My motivation became Akira's naked body, boy was a snack. Except from that, there was no spice anymore, just talks and cries and talks. So I just took out my phone and had some trends reels on watch, until you came back"

Wyatt face palmed before saying "I guess internet would have been quite handy but I doubt it is online"

Matthew: "it's not, just checked (*scrolling through his phone*)"

Wyatt: "I know. We should ask Akira directly "

Lauren: "I'm in (*grinning*) Boy had some fine feature back then, can't wait to find out what he has now" (*biting her lower lip*)

Wyatt: "ugh"

Lauren: "can't blame me to have witnessed a fine man"

Wyatt: " (*rolling his eyes*)yeah sure"

Lauren: "I mean, you saw those pecs? My gaaaad I crave a hug from that man now" (*jolting in excitement*)

Wyatt: "you met him like a week ago"

Lauren: "Boy you can't understand, The man was fineeeeeeee" (*gasp*)

Wyatt: "Anyway we should get out"

Matthew: "I agree. Besides, since it's finished earlier, I would like to go the pool a bit earlier to warm up"

Lauren: "wait there's is a pool here?"

Matthew: "yeah, three in facts. The main and biggest one is used for events and stuff and it's just behind the sports fields. And there is one on this building and another on the Tech one"

Wyatt: "sounds awesome but we should check it out after seeing Akira"

Lauren: "Akira is a student right? Chances are he has a class now. Let me check"

Wyatt: "of course you have his number"

Lauren: "Darling, I ain't your equal" (*chuckling*)

Wyatt: "shut your trap, Witch(*chuckling*)"

Matthew: "you guys, if someone were to listen to you guys without meeting you first, they would think you hate each other. You act like siblings(*chuckling*)"

Wyatt: "Can't have a roach as a pet" (*smiling coyly*)

Lauren still typing text to Akira who was responding but said without looking "You look like a fart"

Wyatt: "what? That's stupid"

Lauren: "like your face" (*smirking*)

Matthew: "Daaaamn" (*laughing*)

Lauren received a text from Akira and smiled before lifting her head up to the others.

Lauren: "He is in the library, free, it's his break"

Wyatt: "Luck is on our side"

Matthew: "Don't know about you, but this movie made me hungry"

Lauren: "Bro you weren't even watching it. But yeah I'm hungry too"

Wyatt: "We see Akira then we go grab something to munch while we explore those pools. Why do you want to warm up there anyway Matt?"

Matthew: "Well, Swimming is both my hobbie and my extracurricular activity. I joined the club last week and got to meet with the other members"

Wyatt: "not a huge fan of aquatic environment myself, way too scary"

Lauren: "why's that? You don't know how to swim or something? "

Wyatt looked at her and she chuckled before saying

Lauren: "Man oh man, you are a desperate case, aren't you?" (*chuckling*)

Wyatt: "At least I won't melt in the water if I get in it" (*grinning*)

Lauren: "Bro leave it like this, I roasted you. I'm on a scorestreak bitch! You getting behind, wake up (*laughing coyly*) Pathetic amateur" (*faking an evil laughter*)

Matthew: "it's okay not to know something. We all learn everyday. So you can join the club too if you wish to"

Wyatt: "I'm prude and I don't like to expose my body...so sport is not really my thing"

Matthew: "it's okay, it's your choice. (*smiling gently*) now let's go"

They took off and the lights of the theater turned off on this last piece.
