The burn of chlorine filled Seungcheol’s senses as the world around him vanished. He opened his eyes in a new world, neon blue and devoid of air, and his first thought was Jeonghan. Could he swim? How deep was the pool? Where was he?
He reached out and found fabric and as he grabbed at it and pulled Jeonghan close to him he found his feet could reach the bottom. His toes scrambled for grip on the smooth tiles and his next thought was how glad he was he’d left his Magnums near the front door.
As he pulled Jeonghan into the safety of his arms their heads broke the surface of the water. The relief of air filled Seungcheol’s nose and mouth and he gasped for breath. “Are you okay?” He asked the man in his arms and Jeonghan nodded. Seungcheol stared at Jeonghan’s face, his parted lips shining in the dim light, his big eyes staring at him under a mop of wet hair. “I’m sorry Cheollie.... I guess I just fell....”
Seungcheol couldn’t take his eyes off Jeonghan’s perfect pink lips as he spoke and the rush of adrenaline combined with the alcohol in his system made thoughts rush through his brain. He felt confused, excited and suddenly overwhelmed as he felt it in his stomach. That spark, fire, chemistry. Whatever it was called didn’t matter. Jeonghan’s words filled his ears as he remembered what he’d asked him earlier that day.
“What’s it like to want someone so bad that you just can’t wait to get your hands all over them?”
With Jeonghan’s thin frame held gently in his strong arms Seungcheol finally understood. “I know now... what it feels like....” he said softly as he stared into Jeonghan’s eyes. The music and voices faded into the background as they stood in the chest deep water by the edge of the pool. Every single instinct Seungcheol had told him to lean in and take Jeonghan’s lips
