What's This Feeling...? (Tartaglia x Scaramouche)

Scaramouche POV:

The water swirls around my ankles as I slowly wade into the pond. I feel lily pads and different aquatic plants brush my legs as I go in deeper. A frog croaks from somewhere to my left, making me flinch. I feel the mushy muddy pond ground between my toes and cringe a little, trying to ignore the weirdly squishy floor beneath me.

I am now about waist deep in the water. Narrowing my eyes in the dim light of the night, I scan the surface of the water. Nothing. Dammit. It's probably sunken to the bottom...I sigh, I really don't want to have to get my hair soaking wet as well...

"Wacha doing, comrade?"

My foot slips on a rock and I topple over, my head crashing against the hard surface of the water. Bubbles erupt from my mouth as I gasp in surprise. I slowly surface, coughing and sputtering, drenched to the bone, hearing a familiar laugh. I point both my middle fingers at the tall ginger gasping for breath from laughing so hard, clutching his sides.

"S-sorry Scara, but that was the funniest shit ever," Tartaglia says between wheezing breaths.

I huff an angry breath, bright red out of embarrassment. Well now that I am wet, I might as well keep going deeper. I take a huge breath before diving into the cold water, my vision almost completely impaired by the murkiness of the water.

The grayish, greenish-tinted water is no help in my search for my lost object, but that doesn't mean I am gonna give up easily.

I use big strokes from my arms and legs as I push my way deeper in the dark pond's murky depths.

I go deeper and deeper until I spot a small light from the corner of my eye. I swiftly turn around and follow the small glowing light. Bubbles cascaded from my mouth as I let out an involuntary gasp of excitement, grabbing my glowing vision in my hand. Shit! I smack a hand over my mouth and tried to swim my way back up but I am too weak, my head is already spinning from the lack of oxygen and my eyesight is slowly but surely going black.

No, no, no!

I try as hard as I can to ascend my way back to the surface of the pond but to no avail.

Fuck.

The world slowly becomes darker and darker as all the oxygen leaves my lungs. What a stupid way to die, I think, clutching my electro vision to my chest with the tiny bit of remaining strength I have. My eyes slowly close, and the light slowly fades from my dying vision.

Tartaglia POV:

He sure had been down there for a long time... I tap my fingers against the edge of the pond anxiously. What's taking him so long? What is he even searching for?

I chew on the inside of my cheek until I taste blood. What should I do? Should I go in after him? What if something horrible had happened? Oh no...

I quickly pull off my shoes and rip off my shirt and pants before diving into the cold pond water.

It's impossible to see more than a foot in front of your face due to the murkiness of the water. I grow more and more frantic as I search and search, having to go up for air every minute or so. Where is he?

Something slippery and scaly slides past my forearm making me gasp and breath in some water. I burst to the surface sputtering and spitting out water. I need to stop being so jumpy! I need to find Scara! After pulling in a large amount of oxygen into my lungs, I plunge back under the surface of the water, going deeper and deeper until I feel the muddy ground against my fingertips.

My eyes flick quickly around, my body becoming more and more distraught as horrible thoughts flitter through my head. Please be okay, please be okay...I...
