A little dive

It was starting to get dark outside. The buildings were sparkling with their lights like jewels under the sun. The traffic was getting thick, people were trying to get home and have some rest while others were just going for their night shift.

Next to a creepy building that seemed abandoned, a black jeep was parked. Suddenly, one of its doors opened and a person fell to the ground.

"Thursday, same hour"

A German shepherd said from inside as he closed his door and drove away in a hurry. Leaving there on the wet floor, a poor little girl, Emma. Her hoodie has been damaged and her whole body had some hematomas under disheveled fur . She was sobbing silently as she had pain to get up. Her legs were weak, her back was hurting like hell. She took support on the next wall and got up as she carefully walked to the school again...almost 2 hours after she left. Her legs were damped and had weird white traces. She walked as she cried silently, slowly cursing under her breath and having shivers from the next day she would have to see that man...she thought of it again. How did she even met him...and why didn't she sensed something was off...she remembered him to be soft and kind the first three months but then...she winced in pain as her knees started to ache. The young female was on a path no one would desire...

Her head was spinning and she was hurting a lot. She made her way through the Art facility hallways and reached her classroom. Everyone was already gone. The room was still opened though so she went in. The lights were on, she held her side slightly as she walked towards her sit. When she reached the spot, she heard the door shut which made her turn back in panic. She gasped as she saw three girls at the door. One was blocking the exit by resting on it, the other two were walking towards her. The female dog poodle was the one in front, behind her a female rabbit and guarding the door was a female sheep. The poodle had bright white curly fur and wore some expensive outfits by the looks of it. She stopped few meters from Emma and chuckled before speaking "Ma parole, c'est encore pire que ce que je croyais. T'es vraiment une traînée.(My My, it's worse than I thought. You really are a slut.)" The rabbit behind laughed and added "Look at her, she can't keep her legs shut, it didn't change since high-school, what a whore"

Emma looked at them and clenched her fists before relaxing again and taking her bag. She tried to walk past the girls but the poodle shoved her to the ground. She then said "Look whore, I don't care about you doing whatever you do with your disgusting body but I can't allow a pestilence like you to roam freely in this elite school. My father gives a lot of money to this school so we have this beautiful things, you don't deserve any of it. A slut like you should be on the streets (*spitting on Emma*) so how about you do us a favor and quit on your own before I make you (*grinning mischievously*)"

Emma stood up and dusted off her already dirty hoodie before looking at the poodle blankly.

Emma: "just let me go please, Camille"

Camille: "got some nerves, listen i don't want to get dirty so just for today I will let you go, but I don't want to see your slut face tomorrow or I am going to hurt you real bad. Let's get out girls, this bitch might have some weirdos customers tonight (*chuckling*)

Camille and her crew went out leaving Emma hurt and dirty. She held her head and found strength not to cry. She took her way out and wondered why her life was so messed up and unfair.

Lauren, Wyatt and Matthew were making their way upstairs as they were done collecting intel with Akira. And they still were quite impressed the amount of work it requires to write such a story from scratch. Matthew was leading the way which let Lauren have a conversation with Wyatt.

Lauren: "Buddy"

Wyatt: "hm" (*paying attention as his ears flickered*)

Lauren: "(*looking at her phone*) hm I won't be having fun for long with you guys, you know I need to get home a bit early, but I need to see that pool first because it's giving...privilege " (*gesturing cash with her fingers*)

Wyatt: "You're so dumb (*chuckle*) okay"

They took an elevator to reach the roof. As the doors opened, they met with an exquisite sight. A huge pool with deck chairs on the sides. There was a glass dome covering the entire roof against any unpleasant weather during nights. It was not completely airtight, it was actually covering without touching the building like a huge umbrella. This magnificent installation was also retractable during day. Right now it was set and it wasn't so bad as the sun was half an hour about to set.

The sun was smiling in the horizon, it's rays gently rubbing against the dome creating a sparkling color show above the trio. Colors of all hue glittering like diamonds. At the back end of the rooftop, two booths were standing. On the right was the one used as a dress room and on the left the restroom. Just next to the elevator door, another booth but that seemed out of order as sign was placed. It was impossible to know what it was used for since most of it was covered.

The pool had a fountain made of stones, giving quite a natural look to it. Most of the borders were rocks and small vegetation. That combined with the hardwood deck flooring made it a tiny paradise. Some couches have been arranged around in small tiny blocks of secluded spaces around the rooftop. Surrounding the borders of said rooftop, quite a unique wood fence at chest height, some bars of wood were actually rectangular lamps quite aesthetic and greatly in accordance with the rest of the place. All this scenery could just made Lauren's mind blow. She walked around like a celebrity since there was no one here anyway and turned back.

Lauren: (*faking to have a boa wrapped around her neck*) "I'm quite pleased with this. This is exactly what I need after a whole day of labor. Damn, Does this school have infinite budget or something? A freaking stone fountain? Like bitch" (*jolting happily*)

Wyatt looked around and the mesmerizing sight was breath taking. He couldn't help but ask.

Wyatt: "You train here? This is some kind of thing you will find in luxurious hotels. Like seriously, is this pool really used to train."

Matthew looked at Wyatt and laughed slightly about the funny thought.

Matthew: "No dummy, this and the one on the Tech facility are only for chilling, though it's true that since it's mostly empty in this time of the year, it's the best place I can train without being distracted. The olympic pool on the side of the sport fields is way too used by my teammates and other people that just want to swim around."

Wyatt: "You're saying, people know about this place and still choose to go on the olympic one. Sounds odd, and why isn't this place even occupied, I mean isn't this beautiful and quite calm?"

Lauren: "Yeah, I wonder that too. It's a waste"

Matthew: "I asked the president of my club about that as well, and he said that the size of this pool isn't challenging for most of the swimmers and the whole decoration is offing the focus. He said people just want to relax here and nothing else. As for other students, they just don't need this place yet. Wait until the frat parties selection. This place would be filled with new students like us that will join various frat here."

Lauren: "oh my gaaaad so American. We gotta to be there, I like parties. And I want to dance"

Both Matthew and Wyatt replied at the same time: "I don't really like parties"

Lauren raised an eyebrow and frown while booing.

Lauren: "Not with that attitude. Listen boys, we are young students in like what the best college around and it has fraternity parties, which means dancing and swinging da booty. And I want to shake my ass. Besides that will be an occasion for me to see if the land is actually fertile (*grinning mischievously*)"

Wyatt: "(*looking at Matthew who just shrugged*) I don't even know how to dance, let alone like the fact of people even seeing me try. That's so embarrassing"

Matthew: "I don't really like crowds, makes me nauseous sometimes to see so many people chattering and moving. Just the thought makes me shiver. "

Lauren: "Do you really think I like crowds, i actually don't. But since I want to experience something new and that i want to dance like crazy, I will go."

Wyatt: "The whole perspective of letting you go on your own is terrifying. (*sigh*) When are those parties ?" (*asking Matthew*)

Matthew pondered for a moment and replied.

Matthew: "I don't really know, senior years usually wait for sophomores to throw the party of welcoming before getting on the selection process during those same parties. I heard there were 8 frat here, and the Epsilon mu omega are the most famous and the pickiest one each year. It's not everyone that enters their frat. (*shrugging*) not really interested into knowing anything about it anyway"

Wyatt: "how do you know all that?"

Matthew: "(*shrugging*) people talk to me"

Lauren: "That's mental"

Lauren's phone vibrated and she took it out. It was a text from her sister "you better be on your way, mom is already halfway home" Lauren cursed under her breath and said annoyed.

Lauren: "we will get to talk about it on texts, I have to get home before my mom or she will yell again and I hate her yell." Walking towards them.

Wyatt: "not until we need discuss on the homework we've been assigned on Pr. Baker course."

Lauren: "Totally forgot about that"

Wyatt: "I've figured, and we will working with Alex so be sure to create a group and include him"

Lauren: "Bro, I don't have his number. How about you do it"

Wyatt: "(*facepalmed*) bro, we literally both exchanged numbers with him."

Lauren: "yeah no, do it please. (*smiling*) "

Wyatt: "I swear sometimes I just feel like throwing you off a bridge"

Lauren: "Scary puppy" (*laughing*)

Wyatt: "Witch"

Matthew chuckled and said

Matthew: "You really are a great pair of jokers" (*laughing*)

Lauren: "Don't make me turn you into a bag"

Wyatt: "That's low(*chuckling*)"

Matthew: "I really wanna see her try though, Imma bite your head off and then eviscerate you" (*looking blankly at her*)

Lauren: "Holy shit, that was scary.(*laughing*)"

Wyatt: "One day you will get your ass whooped because you don't know to shut the fuck up (*chuckling*)"

Lauren: "Eh eh, can't I express myself, that's offensiveuuh" (*rolling her eyes*)

Matthew: "(*smiling*) nah I am not violent."

Wyatt: "I can be for two"

Lauren: "Bite me"

They all laughed as Lauren took out her phone again and looked at them.

Lauren: "Okay guys, I'm going. Don't mess around while mommy is not around"

Wyatt: "Fuck off"

Lauren: "love you too, bye"

She smiled and took the elevator down. There was now silence as echoes of laughter seemed trapped in the past. Now, Wyatt and Matthew were all alone in this quiet little paradise. Wyatt sighed and sat on a deck chair while Matthew went to drop his bag next to his. He then went for the dress room and wanted to enter but it was locked. He raised an eyebrow and mumbled "weird"

He then came back to Wyatt who was typing texts in a group he created for the homework. Wyatt glanced at him and asked still typing.

Wyatt: "something wrong? You forgot your swimming suit or something ?"

Matthew: "nah, the dress room is locked"

Wyatt: "and the -"

Wyatt was lifting his head to face Matthew while talking when he noticed the Alligator was taking his shirt off. It seemed to be in slow motion, he could see his defined traits as he moved around to take off his shirt. Wyatt blushed and quickly looked at his phone. Matthew then said "you were saying something, sorry I wasn't listening"

Wyatt: "I huh (*Blushing hard*) well you are ...huh changing here?"

Matthew tilted his head in confusion as he folded his shirt and dropped it on the deck chair. He was shirtless, his chest was jacked. He leaned forward while sitting to reach his Training bag.

Matthew: "There's no one here apart from us so I don't mind."

Wyatt glanced to his side, to see the Alligator looking for something in his bag before taking out a chronometer watch and looking at him. Wyatt instantly lowered his ears and looked at his phone, his embarrassment clearly noticeable.

Matthew: "Can you take this please? You will help me with it for my training"

Wyatt looked at the object that seemed tiny in the alligator big palm. He went to take it and nodded. Matthew smiled and replied "Thanks" he then got up and started undoing his belt. Wyatt's face lit some more. He was so flabbergasted that he forgot to look away and was staring. Matthew noticed and chuckled.

Matthew: "You okay? I mean...with me changing here, I can change in the elevator if you mind"

Wyatt realized and looked away

Wyatt: "I huh I, it's fine. You huh got a fine body is all"

Matthew: "Thanks man, I work hard so I appreciate the compliment."

Matthew then let down his pants, revealing his red boxer. Wyatt glanced and he seemed mesmerized yet confused by what was happening to him.

Wyatt's POV

My eyes got wild as they looked at every part of his body, to the well-known by all to the most private fortunately hidden by an underwear. I breathed a bit more rapidly as I was actually quite confused. I tried diverting my gaze on my phone but my eyes kept turning back to him.

Matthew was folding his pants and put it alongside his shirt. His whole body was worked out not too much but quite enough. His tail was waving a bit while rubbing the hardwood floor. Wyatt couldn't help but stare flustered as he was moving around with nothing but his underwear. Matthew noticed it but didn't react. His hands then moved to his boxer bands and Wyatt immediately jolted off his sit which of course caught Matthew's attention.

Matthew stopped and scratched the back of his neck and said "hey hum, if you mind I can change in the elevator"

Wyatt blushed and waved his hand apologetically

Wyatt: "I-I didn't mean to stare sorry, I huh I can turn back"

Matthew chuckled before replying.

Matthew: "suit yourself (*smiling*)"

Matthew then got back on removing his underwear while Wyatt turned back, his tail waving anxiously.

Matthew then said while walking towards a shower disposed next to the dress room.

Matthew: "Hum Imma have a quick shower first before entering the water. You know I don't mind you right, so you can sit"

Wyatt gulped and replied "yeah I'm good...Still can't stand naked people so Imma stay like this until you're done"

Matthew: " (*reaching for the shower and running the water*) I understand buddy, I will be fast then."

Wyatt didn't say anything after that and Matthew showered for some minutes allowing his entire body to get rid of anything dirty. He ended and walked back to his deck chair, his footsteps were sloppy and made Wyatt aware that he was approaching.

Matthew look for his swimming suit in his bag and wore it. It was a blue one, with a white emblem of RASAC on the left leg. It was stretching a bit to adjust to his body and was cupping his lower parts perfectly. He moved a bit in it and looked at how it looked from behind. There was a special accommodation made for his species allowing his tail to pass through a hole. He smiled happily and spoke.

Matthew: "Hey Wyatt look, how is it?"

Wyatt turned to face him, his ears still down. He looked at the proud alligator moving in his tight swimming suit and his ears perked up as his eyes widened. He unconsciously bit his lip which was noticed by Matthew who just laughed.

Matthew: "(*laughing while talking*) It's good looking on me I assume from your expression(*chuckling*)"

Wyatt blushed and looked away as he said completely flustered "Yeah dope (*blushing*) I mean the suit (*awkwardly saying*) not that you are not, you are really hot too I mean the the whole thing is and huh yeah I should just stop talking"

Matthew laughed and smiled

Matthew: "I appreciate the compliment(*chuckle*) watch this"

Matthew got back a bit and ran before jumping in the pool like a pro athlete, earning an admirative Wyatt's applause.

Wyatt: "damn"

Matthew got his head out of the water and said "Fuck it's cold (*chuckle*) how was it?"

Wyatt: "where did you learned that?"

Matthew: "My dad taught me some tricks."

Wyatt: "That was pretty clean"

Matthew: "Thanks. Okay, I'll get ready from this edge and you will use the chronometer while I swim to the other side and back here okay?"

Wyatt nodded and he sat back on his deck chair while Matthew got ready on the side that was closer to Wyatt.

Matthew: "when you say go you start the timer"

Wyatt: "alright(*turning the chronometer on*)"

Matthew: "okay, I'm ready" (*focusing his attention on the other side of the pool*)

The pool was quite wide and since he was about to swim on the width it was going to be challenging to do a small time. Wyatt looked at the alligator then at the chronometer and said while pressing the start button "Go" Wyatt widened his eyes in shock as Matthew launched like a rocket speeding even greater the further he got. His swimming style was quite uncanny. Only his tail, back and head were out of the water, both his hands and legs were in. As he stormed to the other side, Wyatt could see his tail was kind of waving with his movement perhaps adding some punch to his speed.

As he reached the other side, his tail turned and like a sail it allowed him to do 180° spin using his core as the axis. His feet touched the wall before propulsing him greatly again in his swimming. Shortly after that he reached Wyatt's side again and the latter stopped the timer. He looked at it and his jaw dropped a bit.

Wyatt: "12'03"

Matthew: "(*laughing*) Well, I guess I'm still a bit slow. (*thinking*) You saw how I swam, was there anything you think I should do or not to get faster?"

Wyatt: "Not a pro at such advices. Huhm, I never saw anyone swim that way, so I was really impressed. Is the common way slower than yours or anything? Because I saw the movement of your tail, although it gives you great balance, I feel like it's getting in the way or maybe I didn't see well, you were quite fast for me"

Matthew: "I can't swim the classic way because of my tail, and my legs have to run a bit lower than the rest of my body. My tail is Indeed used for balance but mostly to be hydrodynamic. (*rubbing his face of some water*) Eventually I think I can be faster, I just need to know how to do that. Because despite my speed I'm still slower than some of my teammates. The captain is like really faster, probably twice faster. (*sighing*) I doubt I can be that fast with this heavy body but I can get closer "

Wyatt: "That's going to be tough indeed. I really want to help but I know nothing about swimming techniques, I don't even swim so I can't be that helpful sorry"

Matthew: "It's fine man, wait when you say you don't swim, you mean like you don't know or something?"

Wyatt: "I know how to swim. I just swim awkwardly...well that just means I don't know (*embarrassed*)"

Matthew: "I know you said you can't join the club because you are prude, but maybe then you can learn with me. I mean I can teach you if you don't mind of course and if you want to in the first place. It's actually handy to know how to swim and besides, I will have someone to train with (*smiling with goofiness*)"

Wyatt thought for a minute and looked at the pool.

Wyatt: "here?"

Matthew: "Unless you want others to help you as well but that will mean people looking at you"

Wyatt: "nope, definitely here. Just one person is already embarrassing enough. I don't need more. Besides, I will do it only because it's seemed fun. And I want to learn that jump you did"

Matthew: "(*chuckling*) I take that as a you want to, right?"

Wyatt: "yes, but you will need more than patience with me"

Matthew: "Patience is one of my qualities(*grinning*)"

Wyatt: "Modesty sailed away"

Matthew laughed and threw some water sports on Wyatt who just got back to evade it while laughing too.

Wyatt: "Dude, my hoodie is gone, are you trying to get me completely soaked?" (*laughing*)

Matthew: "nooo, how could you think that. (*grinning*)"

Matthew got out of the pool and as he did Wyatt stopped laughing. His suit was tightened around his privates and it was impossible not to notice it. He quickly adjusted it again before walking towards Wyatt, a grin on his face.

Wyatt: "What are you doing ?"

Matthew: "me? Nothing at all. Just getting closer"

Wyatt stared as he approached. Once he was close enough the words that escaped from his mouth sent shivers to Wyatt.

Matthew: "Take off your clothes"

Wyatt was completely flabbergasted and stuttered as the alligator was just next to him looking down at him in the eyes. Water droplets falling from his body to Wyatt's snout. His swimming suit at his eyes level. Clearly now Wyatt couldn't get his attention elsewhere, he was way too close to that to look away.

Wyatt: "w-wh...what?" (*blushing*)

Matthew: "take off your clothes"

Wyatt: "I huh Why?"(*confused*)

Matthew: "I don't want the only dry clothes you got to get wet"

Wyatt: "Why would they be going..."

Matthew: "(*sighing before smirking*) take a guess while you undress"

Wyatt: "I ...I dunno"

Matthew looked at him and his body was really intimidating from Wyatt's angle. Wyatt started to remove the shirt he was wearing and stopped.

Matthew: "great, now your pants"

Wyatt blushed as he just did what he was told. He took off his pants and was now in nothing but his underwear. He was hiding his groin with his hands as his ears were resting flat on his head, his tail tucked in to help hiding and show fear.

Matthew smiled and went to pick him up which made him completely lost his way.

Wyatt: "Oh what the-"

Wyatt didn't get the time to think that he was already in Matthew's arms bridal style. The latter ran with him and jumped in the pool. It was too fast for him to react.

They got underwater and Wyatt had his eyes still closed. They were sinking lower and lower. Everything was so quiet and somehow appeasing. He opened his eyes and looked at Matthew who was looking forth so he looked there as well and the sight made him look in awe almost gasping.

Here underwater, the setting sun was throwing his last rays that reflected on the dome then on the pool surface which created underneath a beautiful scenery full of colors and calm vibes. The moving surface of the pool was creating various shapes from below. The bottom of the pool was quite far below it was too dark there to be seen.

A third point of view from the front could picture this breath taking scenery, Matthew was making slow movements with his feet to keep them floating while remaining on the same spot. Wyatt was completely flabbergasted by everything that was happening, he was confused but the sight was worth the trouble.

He wasn't ready to get in the water so he was starting to lack some air. He tried alerting Matthew who noticed it. His tail was helping to keep balance underwater. He looked at Wyatt then he nodded. He proceeded to swim upwards. Wyatt was still in his arms, looking again at the underwater view then looked at Matthew before looking away flustered and dumbfounded.
