Shark Bite- Nick

Hey! Long time no see! Sry i havent been active lately, these past few months have been pretty rough. But I hope you all had a great holiday season and happy new year! I'm gonna try to write more bc it rly helps me escape my head.

This was a request from a couple ppl- sry it took so long!

TW: blood, doctors, shark bites, swearing.

         " Nick! Stop being a big baby!" Matt called, already knee-deep in the salty water, shivering slightly. Chris popped out of the water a couple feet away, shaking hair out of his eyes like a dog and laughing.

       " It's so cold though." Nick complained, wrapping his arms around himself to preserve heat, dipping his toe into the ocean. It was only ten degrees out, but his stupid brothers had decided it was the perfect beach day.

         To be fair, they hadn't had to fight for a sandy place to put their towels.

        " Come in or I'll make you wish you had." Chris threatened, diving to do another handstand.

       Matt raised an eyebrow. " Race you."

      Nick groaned, but began to run into the water. There was no way Matt was beating him.

      Matt gave him a second to get even with him, then started running, trying to ignore the definite chill.

     The two crashed under at the same time, then emerged a second later.

    " Beat you." Matt crooned, rolling to float on his back and gaze at the somewhat overcast sky.

     " Did not." Nick argued, then shrugged resignedly. " At least I didn't cry and quit."

     Suddenly Chris emerged from the water, further out than the other two. His brown hair dripped with water.

     " I can 100% hold my breath for longer than both of you."

     And that turned into a ten minute sequence of each boy trying to prove that their lung-capacity was the best. In the end, they were red faced and gasping, unsure of who had really won.

       And that turned into a splashing war.

       " Why don't we get the boogie boards?" Matt suggested after a while, blocking his face as Chris spun and smacked water into his eyes.

      " Definitely." Nick grumbled after enduring a barrage of Chris-made waves that crashed over his head. He was honestly a menace.

      The three began to trudge to shore, shadows from the quickly sinking sun illuminating their faces.

      " Ouch!" Nick bellowed suddenly, stumbling forward. " Fuck!"

     " Yeah, yeah." Chris said, rolling his eyes. " Did you step on a rock again? Told ya those water shoes were a good investment."

      Nick stumbled again, his face going white, a soft scream clearing his lips.

      Somehow Matt guessed it wasn't because of the crazy clearance those shoes had been.

     " Nick? What the hell?" Matt grabbed his arm to stop him from falling face-first into the water. It was clammy and cold.

     " Shit." Chris gulped, eyes going wide as he took in the blooming circle of red surrounding Nick.
