GAZE- Jarchie

11- I won

I follow Jug outside the door and now I'm somehow on the back of his bike. I sat on the back wheel while he sat on the seat and peddled. I gripped underneath the seat for dear life since his bike isn't made for two people. He cycles as fast as he can while I try not to fall off. The faster he peddles, the more his smile appears and the more scared I become but I don't stop him since it for some reason hurt me seeing how moody he was earlier and it's nice to see him smile.

He suddenly stops peddling and stops the bike outside some random house. He doesn't get off the bike and neither do I because I have no idea what he's doing. "We're going swimming" he suddenly says gradually getting off the bike after staring at the house in thought for a few seconds. What the fuck? "Swimming?" I ask raising my eyebrows in confusion as he walks towards the house. "Yeah?" He says turning around while he walks. I stay on the bike for a few seconds confused as fuck about how he's suddenly going to produce a swimming pool. I then get off the bike and drop it to the floor following behind him.

He leans down and tries to open a large locked window on the bottom left side of the house. The window was just above the ground and I could see the swimming pool water through it. "Um who lives here?" I ask quietly laughing in confusion as I approach him. "My aunt" he bluntly replies turning round. "And she's okay with us being here?" I question. "Of course. Don't worry" he says. How can I not worry when we're literally breaking into 'his aunts' house? "But where's your aunt?" I keep questioning as I watch him carefully. "On holiday" he turns and looks up at me. "Okay...why don't you have a key then?" I ask slightly laughing, finding it funny how he has to break into his own aunts house. "Because she's on holiday" he repeats. "Yeah, that's the answer to everything" I reply smirking. "Relax, don't worry. There we go" he says as he finally unlocks the window and jumps down into it. "You coming?" He questions looking up at me. Am I really about to do this?

I sit on the window ledge as I jump down joining him. It was a bigger jump than I thought it would be. I didn't think the window was this high. He leans down and puts his hand in the water probably checking it's temperature. "The waters nice" he says looking up at me. "Okay" I bluntly reply. "Okay? Why are you being so sceptical?" He questions. "I'm not it's just a little weird that we are going to-" I start. "What's up? Are you afraid to go swimming?" He questions as he takes off the wig he's wearing for his God costume. "Afraid to go swimming?" I ask slightly laughing, raising my eyebrows. "Are you afraid of water?" He asks. Is he being serious? "Afraid of water?!" I laugh more and he smirks. "It's just- its not my aunties house" I say as I gradually take off the star hat to my shit costume. I don't even know what I'm meant to be quite honestly. "Oh so you're a little scared of fucking up the hairdo?" He smirks as he takes his shoes off. I look at him and raise my eyebrows not sure if he's being serious or not. "You think I care about my hair?" I ask also taking my shoes off. "What is it then? It looks like you care" he smirks more. "It looks like I care about my hair?" I ask my eyebrows still raised. "Well not right now but it does normally" his smirk grows even more. Right that's it I can't take that smirk anymore. I push him into the water and he grabs my shirt pulling me down with him. "Fuck!" I shout before my body hits the water.

I quickly swim up to the top and wipe the water from my eyes. I look around but can't see Jug. What the hell where is he? I then see a body figure swimming towards me and I slightly grin. His head appears as he swims up to the top really close to me. "Did you think I died?" He asks catching his breath slightly laughing. "Yeah, I was so scared" i laugh with him. "You suck at holding your breath" I say. He raises his eyebrows at me while laughing. "I suck?" He questions still laughing. "Yeah" I reply laughing too. "Fuck you. You try it then" he says smirking. "You challenge me? You shouldn't. I'm the fucking champion-" I start. "Of course" he interrupts. "Show me" he demands while smirking.

"Okay, fine" I say. I'm actually not that good at holding my breath shit. I breath in as I go under the water trying my hardest to stay down for as long as I can. I then feel a bunch of water go down my throat and I quickly swim back up slightly coughing. He sits there and laughs "wow. You never crease to impress" he says between laughs. "I got water stuck in my throat" I argue. "Yeah, right" he sarcastically says smirking. "Yes! I swallowed water" I argue more. "Okay" he laughs. "I need to do it one more time" I demand there's no way I'm losing to him. "Let's do it together" he suggests. "The last to the surface is the winner" I say. "On three? No actually we go together on one. Three two" he counts down. "One" as soon as he says one we both breath in and swim down underneath the water.

I slowly open my eyes while holding my breath. At first everything's blurry but then I see Jug with his eyes open as well staring back. He watches me carefully and jokily puts his hand around my throat trying to distract me so he can win. I push his hand off my neck and glare at him as he stares back. Suddenly, he swims slowly up to my face and does something I never expect him to do.

He presses his lips to mine and I freeze in shock. He slowly pulls his lips away as I swim to the top still in shock. What the hell just happened? I wipe my eyes removing the water as I see his body gradually swim up. He breaths out as he gets to the top. "Yes!" He slightly cheers while also removing water from his eyes. "Yes what?!" I question raising my eyebrows. "I won!" He says smirking. "What? No!" I deny. "Are you kidding?" He questions. "That's cheating!" I argue back. "What is?" He smirks acting oblivious to what just happened. I ignore his question and repeat my previous comment "that's cheating". "You think there are any rules here?" He questions. "Uh yeah?!" I say. We both laugh while looking at each other.

"What are you even thinking right now?" He asks curiously while smirking. "I mean- that's just- thats just cheating. That's not allowed. I won't accepting losing because of something like that" I reply slightly stuttering. "Okay let's try it again then" he says biting his lip.

We both breath in and go back under the water together. Once again I open my eyes and see him staring back. Now it's my turn to win.
