Welcome to Gaia! ::

Storm pushed open the door to the school pool and looked around for Ayu. He was horribly late and told her that he would be right back. All the same he was here now and definitely wasnt hungry anymore.
He smiled at Ayu as she quietly worked on her beads.
he walked over his footsteps echoing in the quiet pool and sat down next to her.
"hello there princess.."

Storm Chuckled at Ayu. why was she so darn cute? " I would except anything you make m'lady."
She was quiet adorable focusing on such a tiny thing. He would wear it just to show her that he liked her company and the gesture of receiving the gift. He looked out over the pool. it was very...blue in here.
"My favorite color is like a blue... the color of the ocean. " he smiled softly over at her.
"mind if i take a bit of a swim. ever since i got here iv been wanting to swim in the ocean but its so cold here. "

Storm stood and walked to the boys locker room where he changed into swim trunks and came back out to the pool. He then removed his shirt to show his muscled body. he would forever be frozen like he was when he was working the plantations.

He stood over by the deep end and dived into the pool. Water was warm though he didnt enjoy the chlorination. he swam underwater for a long while until he resurfaced by Ayu's feet. he pushed back his hair and smiled up at her tickling her ankles.
"you should come in with me. the water is really warm. "

Storm looked amusingly at her flustered face. Didnt know how to swim? he had to fix that right away. Besides maybe if he worked with her enough she would have a new confidence about her and wouldnt be as down about...whatever she was upset about earlier.

He crossed his arms on top of the water.
"my lady Ayu! Swimming is the best thing in the world! you have got to at least learn how to float on your back!!" he showed her how he floated. "if your too tired to swim it will be the most useful thing to learn. come on now. I wont take no for an answer. go get changed!"
He then sunk to the bottom of the pool and looked up at her threw the water. her image flickered and shifted with the waves and made her look goddesslike.

he swam around waiting for her to get back and when she did he couldnt believe it. She looked gorgeous in her swimsuit.
Storm chuckled softly which slightly echoed around the room.
"of course i wont let you go! now. come here..." He swam over to the stairs and raised a hand out to her. His smile was soft and his eyes wanted to get distracted in the bare skin her swimsuit didnt cover.

Storm supported her as she slipped about, Clinging to him. He was a decent swimmer all his life. He even grew up next to a deep river and played in it almost every day as a child.
He wraped his other hand under her arm and slowly pulled her from the steps.
"now.. if you start to sink you have to remember that im here and wont let anything happen to you. even if you get water up your nose..." he laughed. " first i want you to kick your feet.. you see mine? no not too fast..."
He wanted to pull her closer to feel her warm and the water push between their bodies. He wanted to make his fangs sink into her...
He shook the thought and the water out of his face.

"You have to fill your lungs up with air. Breath slowly." As she flipped he braced her back with his hand. "arching your back here," he poked her back between the shoulder blades under the water, "instead of here," he poked her lower back. "might make you sink a bit more. also... you have to keep your head down and you have to not freak out. focus on your breathing..."
She was adorable. Like a little kid.

Ayu exclaimed of having leg cramps which wasnt abnormal for someone who didnt swim often. Storm could stand here easily so he lifted her up by the waist and sat her down on his bent knee. She was like lifting a blanket in the water. At least she wasnt flailing about now. he smiled at her, "you good now? you can rest here if you want..."
