The words hung in the air, unanswered. From his peripheral vision, he could make out Louis stiffening. Skinny dipping, he could do that. It wasn't as if it was an intricate activity that would require him getting naked and submerging himself in the extremely cold water. No. It was not that quite simple, he grumbled. He would have to get naked. Stark naked. That too, in front of Louis. While he was somewhat happy that today wasn't the day where he had been feeling extremely pretty and had indulged in the feeling of everything soft, of everything feminine, even tugging off his boxer briefs in front of Louis felt like an abominable nightmare. It wouldn't be as awkward as his mind was making it out to be, he thought.
"It's not like, I mean— you don't have to feel obligated to do it, but it's fun." Louis cleared his throat quietly before speaking. He merely nodded, taking in the words. He didn't have to do it. It wasn't as if Louis had had him at gunpoint, ready to shoot him dead if he refused. He had a choice. "You've done it before?" He asked, peering intently at Louis as he awaited his answer. "Many times."
"Is it really fun?" He knew he was coming off as a rather doltish person but he couldn't help it. "You remember how you told me about the time you consumed shrooms?" When he nodded, Louis continued, his voice as gentle as the touch of the sluicing water against his feet. "It'll give you a somewhat identical thrill; adrenaline and all." Louis sounded unsure of his own words, leaning back a little to let his palms rest straight against the ground, wiggling his toes in the unsoiled, pellucid water. "You might not like it— everyone has different preferences and tastes." Louis further added, tone firm as if he was finally speaking what he had wanted to in the first place.
"But nothing wrong with trying, right?" He shrugged nonchalantly as if silently agreeing. "Okay, how about this-" Louis halted, gaze flitting up to the sky just in time to catch a bolt of lightning striking across the murky clouds. The dark grey clouds obscured the sun, draping them in a thick blanket of misty, leaden ambiance. "C'mon, it's going to start raining soon. Hear me out, I'll go in first, and just close my eyes, and then you can get naked and jump in the lake, sound good?" Louis didn't even wait for his response as he stood up, shedding off the articles of clothing covering his body. He watched with wide eyes as Louis unbuttoned his jeans, tugging them off in one swift motion.
Almost immediately, his eyes trailed downwards to the obvious bulge of Louis' crotch that was furthermore accentuated by the tight material of his black boxers. Licking his lips, he watched as Louis pulled off his jumper, followed by the normal white tee he was wearing underneath, baring his well-defined torso. "Fuck, it's bloody cold out here." Louis' melodramatic quaver snapped him out of his daze. He forced his eyes to look up at Louis' face when the alpha hooked his thumbs under the waistband of his boxers. He averted his attention to the crystal-clean water, blinking twice when Louis dove right into the lake, leaving an obnoxious splash in his wake.
A large smile took over his features when Louis popped up to the top, shaking his head before taming the wet strands of hair to the side, pearls of water speckled over his face. He looked like a fictitious muse of some dexterous artist, shaped into a piece of a flawless creature that could put the sun to shame with just a tiny smile. He tucked his knees to his chest, resting his chin on top of them as he watched Louis shiver in the cold weather, the frosty water of the lake not helping one bit. "The water is colder than I expected."
