THIRD PERSON

*Three weeks later*

Team had finished class and was a bit agitated, so he went to the pool to cool some steam. His walk to the pool was long and well long, today wasn't his day he was pissed at everyone, he didn't know if it was to do with this morning or not.

His morning classes just dragged and the professors, oh don't get him started, 'they just kept going on like yeah I get it I wasn't listening you can shut up now, no wonder I don't listen to you' God Team hate all his teachers, yeah hate is a strong word but it's the right word, seriously. The teachers just need to get a life that doesn't revolve around annoying there students.

Then at lunch pharn was with dean being all cute and stuff. Oh and did I forget to mention that manaow got a boyfriend last week as well, his name is pruk. So that means Team is the only single one in the group. Also as team was walking over to there mini friendship group, he had a girl hanging off his arm. I mean of course he did, he's fit and hot, so I mean why wouldn't he? Team was just really pissed at the thought of win being close with someone other that dean, but it is what it is.

Team had reached the pool, and seeing as no one else was here team just stripped into his swimming shorts, that he had underneath his clothes. Jumping into the water he started to do laps.

Team did lap, after lap, after lap. Little did team know but win was in the office of the president, watching from afar. Win had noticed the boy come on when he heard a loud sigh, which peaked his interest, as most people would be in class right now. When win looked out the door, to his surprise it was team. The fact that it was team and not any other person made him keep the office door open.

Win wasn't going to lie, but he loved watching the boy swim. It when he looked most calm, but sometimes when he looks at the water, there's something in his eyes, he almost looks scared, not of the water per se but more of what's happened here; not this building exactly, more like a building of this sort. Win couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Team was exhausted, out of breath, and relieved of stress. He was now floating on his back just enjoying the quiet. No noise. No people. Just him. The feeling of water against his skin, just felt right. It felt natural, like this is where he belonged and no one could take that from. Well of course, one person could. The person who ruined him, his trust, and most importantly his body.

*flashback*

"Oh come on team I know you want to," the older man teased.

"No, I really don't want to please leave me alone. I beg of you," team pleaded.

" you do, I know you do. I've seen so many of your type," the man continued.

Team just stared at him. His eyes wide, full with emotion, mainly hurt and regret. He'd never know someone like this, why would his coach, a person he trusts, do this to him? And regret, he regrets coming here, his gut was telling him that it was a bad idea, but did he listen. Nope, his dumb ass didn't.

Whilst team was lost in his thoughts, the man-who deserves no name- had tied a weight to his ankle and was about to push him into the water, he was also going to leave him there. Just for a few minutes though. Unfortunately, it was to late before team noticed. He was underwater.

The water consumed him like a monster, like it wanted to get rid of him forever. The only thing he could remember was his training to hold his breath for a long period of time. After a minute or two team still hadn't been pulled out, panic now took over him. His calmness about the situation was gone. Teams arms were flapping everywhere causing the stillness of the water to be disrupted, by the movement of his arms.

*flashback over*

Team was flapping his arms about in the water, the memories of that day stopped his mind from working. Team kept rising to the surface and every time he did he took a deep breath, sometimes the water of the pool got in his mouth.

Win had heard the noise and the panicked voice of team and immediately when to see what was wrong. As soon as he saw the poor boy flapping about in the water, he jumped right in, not bothering to take any of his clothes off. Win reached team, wrapped his arms around him and pulled him out the pool.

Win led him down on the edge of the pool, "hey, team you okay?" Not bothering to wait for a reply he asked again "What wrong?" Team sat himself up and looked over to the boy, tears coming out his eyes. "I-... l just...," he stuttered out. Win wrapped his arms around the other boy once again, he started rubbing circles on teams back. "Shhh it's okay you don't have to tell me," win hushed the boy.

The thing is tho team wanted to tell win, he wanted the other boy to know, he wanted him to care, he wanted his comfort, his company. Team didn't know why but he did.

He just wanted Win.
