Finals were a terrible mistress, but at lease these finals were close to summer. Summer meant long days, lazing around, festivals, fireworks, but best of all there was lots and lots of swimming. And with Seiyo's indoor pool, Yuki could go whenever there was a free swim period. But usually Yuki didn't go unless a certain event happened - namely, that he heard a group of girls were planning to hang out there. Today, it just so happened that it was the case. With the heat growing, he was sure others would follow, so he wouldn't stand out to much as he admire the beautiful garments that were swimsuits.

As he changed, he thought he saw a different girl that he recognized - oh, yeah! It was the girl that asked him about literature club on Twitter. A fellow appreciator of cute girls as well. He could also use some help trying to get into the club, considering the other girls might be a little wary of him, especially the president. Sheesh, could someone not join a club without being really, really into the subject matter?

"Hey there!" he greeted, with a wave. But uh, wait did she know him? He hadn't uploaded photos recently. "...I'm...um...hot dog-kun," he said, "Minamoto Yukiya. You're gonna swim today?"

☆ SCOUT

[☆ SCOUT]

Scout wasn't much one to care for finals; in her view, she wasn't going to be doing further schooling anyway, so what was even the point? It was all just for show--and, sure, she'd get decent grades to keep up appearances for her family, but she couldn't scrounge up any further motivation for anything more.

So when the word of free swim at the pool floated by her ears from a group of girls in another class, she couldn't help herself but join in--after all, what was better excuse was there to not only show off one's own swimsuit, but to scope out those of others, too?

She certainly couldn't think of one.

And so did she stroll out into the natatorium from the locker room, covered with a shawl and slightly disappointed again that it was an indoor pool rather than an outdoor--it was somewhat less glamorous, but at least it didn't hurt the view.

She did, though, find herself distracted as someone had called out to her, to which she turned and spotted a face she didn't know--but one that had immediately introduced himself. Brightening up instantly when he mentioned the nickname she'd given him, she pointed toward him excitedly. "Ah! Hotdogguy!" she exclaimed, before settling again. Though she decided to commit his name to memory, she still had no intention of calling him by anything else other than hotdogguy. "Mmm, I'm not much of a swimmer, but I'll be hanging out," she offered. "I way prefer to float in a tube or on one of those pool beds; I hate to get my hair wet, y'know?" She of course wasn't going to reveal her true purpose, especially to someone who was still essentially a stranger. "What about you, huh? Come to scope things out, I bet, hmm?"

[Yukiya]

Yuki laughed. Most people didn't call him by a nickname besides Yuki, and to be associated with his favorite food...! Even if it did give him some shade on Twitter, no thanks to Ji-Yoo of all people. But he shrugged it off, like many things in his life.

He grinned as Scout correctly guessed what he was doing here. Well, it wasn't exactly a secret. Girls were coming out of the locker room in all kinds of one pieces, bikinis...and splashing around already. He didn't need heaven. All the angels he ever needed were surrounding him now.

"Ahh, no problem. 'sides, a tube would be a good way to, uh, get closer to the action," he said. Was there any here? He looked around, but didn't see any. Maybe someone else would bring one.

He was about to jump in the pool when two girls came nearby. One had sunblock lotion, and was rubbing the back of the other girl. Compared to a regular outdoor pool there wasn't so much sun, but Yuki was just so happy that he got to witness such an innocent and lovely sight that he stumbled backwards and fell on his butt, while still smiling. Compared to all the chaotic events in his life, he was just...so glad to be alive....
