Third Person P.O.V

After their whole debacle in the hallway, Gabriel leads Pugsley to the school's indoor pool. It had been redesigned since the previous year, mostly for safety reasons as well as aesthetic reasons. It looked much bright, the blue tones lighter and the whites of the walls changed to the school's signature red with the school logo nice and big on the wall across from a giant digital timer.

With an air of indifference, Pugsley scans the pool area, while Gabriel anxiously observes, as if yearning for the outcast's validation.

"It's... different" Pugsley says after a prolonged silence, Gabriel releases the breath he was holding and smiles softly up at the older boy.

"I'm going to go get changed, you can go sit on the bleachers and do whatever" Pugsley hums in acknowledgement as he continues to gaze around the room,seeing things he knows Wednesday would love to use as torture devices. The thought of it sends a shiver up his spine that he quickly tries to shake off, he was a changed man now and was no ling afraid of his sister.

Pugsley looks over at Gabriel, his gaze shifting down to his lips, already swollen from their previous kisses. He ponders the difficult decision he faces: should he take the chance and risk invoking Gabriel's anger, or surrender to the overwhelming bliss of kissing him once more?

Gabriel notices Pugsley's staring and begins to blush, fidgeting on the balls of his feet before he quickly stands on the tips of his toes and places a soft peck to the pale boy's cheek. The flustered smaller male quickly scurries away into the pools locker room, leaving Pugsley stunned with a slightly slacked jaw.

The Addams boy simpers softly to himself before finding a spot on the bleachers, somewhere he would have a clear view of his boy.

While the young Addams settles on the bleachers, he looks up to find someone glaring at him, that person being none other than Aiden.

The older male begins making his way over to Pugsley, ill intent clear on his face as he marches up, standing in front of Pugsley.

"You think yours so slick huh Pugsley?" Aiden questions in anger, his brows furrowed, his face red and scrunched.

Pugsley simply raises a brow at the boy in front of him, unbothered and uninterested in what could have possibly set Aiden off this time.

"Can I help you?" The words coming from the young goths lips nonchalantly, brow still raised.

Those words seem to have set Aiden off,the same words Pugsley had said to Aiden when they saw each other in the store before school started back.

Aiden's arm swings back, his fist connecting with Pugsley's face.

The younger boys head is thrown to the side and he sits still for a moment, licking the inside of his cheek where his teeth had clipped his inner cheek,causing blood to seep onto his teeth and tongue.

Pugsley calmly stands up from his seat, bringing a hand up to wipe at the blood on the corner of his lip, looking down at the deep red liquid in thought.

He looks back up at Aiden, where the boy stood, smug that he had made Pugsley bleed.

The others in the pool room watching the two in shock but interest. Gabriel had just left the locker room in his swim uniform when he looks up to see Aiden and Pugsley standing in front of each other and his voold immediately runs cold.
