There are already people in the pool. Colby and I look at each other and he makes a scared face. Colby takes off his towel and hangs it around the white lounge chair. I put mine on the table and we get our ice creams out. He gets into the hot tub and sighs, "I could never get used to this."

"Wait till you eat ice cream in here, dude. It's perfect." I smile at him and he smiles mischievously back. He wets his hands and slicks back his now wet hair. Always taking care of his hair. . . So Colby. He takes the lid off his ice cream excitedly and with a little giggle. His eyes look crazy as he takes his first spoonful in his mouth. "Oh man, this is the perfect balance. My body is hot but my mouth is cold!" He says as he eats more. I open mine and gleefully eat. He asks me if we can switch ice creams.

"Yeah you can have some of mine. I don't want your spoon, though."

"Yass! Thanks, dude," we exchange ice creams and I have some of Colby's cookie dough. The couple in the pool stare at us for a bit as we are eating ice cream in the hot tub. Colby waves and says, "How'ya doin'?" They act like they don't hear us. They probably think we're. . .

"Tomorrow we should look for furniture," Colby says with a mouth full of ice cream. I look at his face and his dark bags under his eyes.

"Yeah, we both need better sleep than that deceiving floor." I say.

"Mmm" he says as he licks my minty ice cream off his spoon. Some of it gets on his chin.

"You got some ice cream here," I point to my chin. He extends his tongue out and tries to lick at his chin. He can't reach.

"No, on the bottom" I say as I lean in and lick some of the ice cream off of him. My tongue licks up from the bottom of his chin to almost at his lower lip. He stares at me and I realize what I just did. "Stop wasting my ice cream, dude." I look away from him, my face starting to heat up with just Colby's gaze. Hopefully he can't see how red my face is. I put my (Colby's) ice cream on the edge and start to put my head under the heated water. I get back up and Colby is back to eating his original Cookie Dough ice cream.

"I'm sick of mint chocolate," he says as he stretches. He looks darker at night, like in my dream. The light is reflecting off of his skin, the water making the light ripple on his body. He flexes and stands up. "Race ya to the pool?!" he asks.

"Sure!" I say as we both get up and jump into the cold pool water. It feels so icy.  I immediately dislike it and try to get to the bottom so I can get out of there. Colby hits the bottom first and surfaces.

"Oh, shit. I'm dying!" he screams as his arms rub his chest to keep warm.

"Quick, let's get back into the hot tub!" I suggest and we go to the ladder into the warmth of the hot tub again. He sighs and we eat more ice cream until a guard comes around to tell us that the pool area closed 30 minutes ago. We apologize profusely and get our stuff from the table and chairs.

Making the way back to the apartment I tell Colby that I get first dibs on the shower. We left before I could shower today and Colby said he showered before he dyed his hair this morning. We go back to our separate rooms and I get my shower stuff ready. We both only brought like two towels for each other. Ugh. I get my stuff and make way for the shower. Passing Colby's room, I see that he's sprawled out on his back in his sleepingbag playing a game on his phone. His head is propped up on a pillow and he only has on his sweatpants. When he's on his back, the V-shaped abdominal muscles that leads down his stomach taunts me and then hides itself in his sweatpants. I wonder how far it goes in there.

I undress out of my half-soaked swimtrunks and turn on the water. I'm all by myself for the first time today. Colby is ten feet away playing a video game with his sweatpants on. Without a shirt on. I start to get excited as my thoughts trail off onto Colby. We've been friends for five years and now we live together. I can't imagine my life without him. I feel my cock twitch. Ugh why is this happening? I don't want to beat off in the shower but I also don't want to turn the knob to Cold.
