Traveling Star, Wandering Chaos

Tired

I swam up to the surface of the water gasping for air and coughing. "Fuck!" I yelped, spitting out salty sea water. I looked around trying to keep my head above water, "Minh? Minh?!" I shouted, Shit. Where is he?! I took a deep breath and dove down underwater, I let go of my blanket and searched the water. Then I saw Minh not too far away. Minh! I swam towards him and grabbed his arm. Fuck, he's too heavy! I looked down- if I can drop some weight I'll be able to swim up. I stared at the supplies, fuck it. I threw away our bags and swam up to the surface with Minh. I gasped for air as I tried to keep his head above water. Man, who knew breathing would feel so great? I shook Minh and pulled his hair but, yeah, he's gonna be out for a while. Delicate little bitch.
   
Now, what do I do? I can't just keep swimming forever, plus if I go down, I'll be taking my brother with me. Having someone die because of me isn't something I'd like to have on my Bucket list no matter how much that person deserved it. Guess the first thing to do is to find land, that's what Minh would do. But which direction? Eeny meeny miny... moe! West it is! Or was this east? Or north? Damn, my sense of direction. Whatever, we're going in this direction and no one can stop me! I'll swim in the direction I chose with my very intelligent decision-making and, hopefully, we won't die before we get anywhere.
  
Fuck my stamina, I'm getting tired already?! Fuck, what do I do? "Hey Minh, it'd be a great time to wake up right now. Kinda gonna die here," I shook Minh, but nothing. Why did I think that would work? Then a wave of water washed over us- fuck I got some water in my mouth. Ew, it's salty. I spit it out and looked around for anything. Water, water, and more water, Oh, hey, a rock... OH MY GOD, A ROCK! I swam towards a rock sticking out of the water. Let's go, we're not gonna die! I held on to the rock and pushed Minh on top of it. Then I climbed onto the rock and finally caught my breath. Holy crap, I thought we were gonna die. Oh, shoot, I forgot about Minh. I crawled over to his unconscious body and flipped him over to lie on his back. I poked his face a few times and put my ear to his chest. Oh, good, he's breathing- I think. What was that CPR lesson they taught me in health class? Uh... fuck it. I sucker-punched him in the stomach.

"ARGH WHAT THE FUCK!?" he gasped, coughing up the salt sea water he probably inhaled earlier. Gross. He wiped his mouth and glared at me, "The fuck was that for!?" he snapped.

"Why are you yelling at me?!" I shot back. Fucking asshole, what the hell is he yelling at me for?!

"Oh, I don't know, for punching me in the gut!"

"I punched you to get the water out of your system!"

"Why didn't you do CPR then?!"

"Do you think I know CPR?!"

"Yeah no, you're too dumb for that," Minh agreed. Okay, Wow, way to thank me.

"I hate you."

"Same here," he said before looking around, "Shit. We're stuck aren't we?"

"Yeah, guess so," I added. We're stranded on a rock, with no supplies and no chance to find a random boat just floating around in the middle of the ocean for no reason. Yeah, we're pretty much fucked. And I thought that I would live longer in this life than in the previous one. Honestly, Truck-Kun would've been a better death than this. I turned to Minh, "So what do we do?"

"What can we do?" he asked, watching the sky, "We're stuck on a rock in the middle of the ocean, and last time I checked, only one of us can swim."

"Well, maybe if you weren't a wuss, two of us would be able to swim."

"Maybe if you didn't take the time to traumatize me as a child, I would've learned how to swim!"

"How is that my fault?!"

"You almost drowned me!"

"I said sorry after!"

"More like you gave a half-assed apology to make Mẹ happy."
