Mystery of Love

6

The bus screeched and halted to a stop. Upon arrival, the students carried their bags and entered the swimming complex.

The swimming complex had an intricate infrastructure. There were sheltered walkways surrounding two pools that were exposed, releasing the smell of fresh chlorine into the air. The seating area was segregated according to the different classes. 

Without prompting, the classes subtly divided themselves further into separate gender groups. Perhaps getting exposed to a body part of the opposite gender that they were not used to seeing made the students uncomfortable.

Most of the girls used the changing room while the boys who wore their swimming trunks underneath simply had to take off their outer clothing. Each class was then split into various groups, depending on their competency levels. 

To Theo's astonishment, there were only two guys who had no prior swimming experience in their class. The two male students were Theo and Jovan. 

Theo tried to avoid eye contact with him, knowing that he would react in an awkward way if he saw Jovan's half-naked state, though he would be lying if he denied having fantasies about his body. 

"You look quite fit." Jovan sneaked up from behind and squeezed his biceps tenderly. 

"Stop!" Theo cried out as he pushed his hand away. 

"Sorry for startling you. I thought you liked that." Jovan replied as he ran a hand through Theo's now ruffled hair. 

Theo was mortified. The girls were just standing at the side watching the whole time. 

Just then, the swim coach approached the group and introduced himself. He explained the importance of swimming and some safety rules to comply with. Following his brief speech, he guided the group in doing some stretching exercises to warm-up their bodies before entering the water. 

The water felt the coldest during the first five minutes of immersion. It reminded him of the times he visited the beach only to soak in the shallow waters and watch the others swim. 

The swim coach demonstrated the breaststroke which was apparently the simplest for beginners. Then, it was the students' turn. 

Theo found it difficult because he struggled to keep his head above the water. Fortunately, a few others also faced some sort of difficulty so he was not alone. The swim coach made them repeat the breaststroke several more times until they were more confident. 

He proceeded to teach the freestyle stroke which was supposed to be harder though Theo thought he could manage it better. It gave him a slight boost of confidence when he surpassed some of the others. 

Just as he was swimming his second lap, he felt his right calf muscles contract tightly. He hopped with his other leg to the side of the pool and stretched to relieve his cramped muscles. The swim coach then advised him to take a break. 

Theo sat on a bench and watched as his classmates splashed around. He noticed that Jovan always managed to clinch the first place as the fastest swimmer. 

"How is he so good at everything?" Theo thought to himself as he recalled Jovan also achieving good grades for all the classes they were together in. 

It seemed like he was the perfect student. He was popular among his classmates and teachers, smart, skilled in athletics, and charismatic. Not to mention he was known to be the most good-looking boy in their cohort. The more Theo entertained such thoughts, the deeper his sense of jealousy. 

He decided to focus on his weakness to feel better about himself. Firstly, he had a corrupted sense of humor where his jokes often revolved around sex. Secondly, Jovan never revealed anything about his sexual orientation, though it was obvious, at least to Theo. He wondered how he acted so much like a straight dude, presenting himself in such an absurdly masculine way. It was thrilling for Theo to know his 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 though it wasn't exactly a weakness.

After 15 minutes, Theo sensed that his cramp had recovered. He went back to join the others who were now fully submerged in the water, practising breathing techniques.

Theo sat and dipped his legs into the water before a pair of hands grabbed him by his trunks and dragged him beneath.

He bubbled repeatedly until he opened his eyes and saw Jovan's face so close to his. For a moment, he stopped struggling and paused. They held their breaths and looked into each other. The surrounding noises were now muffled, and it felt so calm. Jovan held him in his arms as he slipped a hand into his swim trunks. He adjusted his balls in his palm and massaged his flaccid cock. Theo reacted with a silent but visible moan.

Suddenly, Theo shot out of the water. He panted heavily whilst trying to catch his breath.

"Woah! You two ran out of breath pretty quickly. Well, that's it for today since the both of you are eliminated." The swim coach verbalized.

On his way to the changing room, Theo tried to hide his erection from Jovan who walked closely behind him. He couldn't imagine that Jovan's playful teases were capable of making him so aroused. Furthermore, no one else saw that he was practically molested since it happened in the water.

As he entered a showering cubicle, Jovan crept up from behind and shut the door.

"Wha- What do you want?!" Theo said with quivering lips.

The cold wind against his wet skin made him tremble uncontrollably. He tried to push him away but he was too strong.

"Your big dick." Jovan replied coldly.

Theo turned his back to him and realized that he was practically trapped. Jovan reached forward and pulled his trunks down from behind, exposing the now proudly erected member.

"Turn around. Let me take a look." Silence ensued. 

"I really love you Theo. Don't you love me?" He continued.

Sensing that he was waiting for an answer, Theo replied: "I don't love you."

Deep in his heart, he didn't know if that was true anymore but he just wanted Jovan to leave.

Theo heaved a sigh of relief when he finally did. He couldn't help the tears that were now flowing down his cheeks. The pleasure was simply too intense for him.
