*Adam waits by the lake. He looks around him, making sure everything is ready. He's a little nervous, and takes a few deep breaths. Everything will go fine. It would. He's Adam, he can do this. He's got everything he needs, and he sits and waits.*

*Paul tries, but cannot help but arch in pleasure. The lake water is surprisingly warm for something that was recently frozen. He cocks a head curiously at Adam's expression.*

What?

Nothing.

*he smiles, and uses the brush to scrub away layers of dirt from Paul's shoulder before leaning over and resting his head on it*

*Paul attempts valiantly to continue sulking, but loses.

He pushes away the wave of dizziness that accompanies happiness leeching at his energy.

His knotted, matted curls flop into his eyes. He blows at them futilely.*

So'm I clean?

*Adam smiles*

Not yet. Still have to wash your hair, don't we? And, um.

*he looks downward, hands Paul the brush and flops backwards into the water, looking distinctly not at Paul*

You don't seriously expect me to do it...

*pops his head out from under the water, looking very uncomfortable*

You do... that, and I'll help you wash your hair. Promise.

*Taunting*

You...embarrassed? You never seen one before?

*He's not red. not at all. maybe pink. a little. but not a girly colour pink. perhaps it's more of a red after all*

'Course I have! Been in school, haven't I? Just not...

*Adam coughs again, and dives back under*

*Paul smirks and waits for Adam to resurface.*

*When Adam finally does resurface, he's further out in the deep water, trying to regain what little composure he had*

*Paul disappears and quickly reappears beside him, making a face at the depth of the water.*

You're embarrassed.

*Adam is breathing heavily and has to swallow a few times before he can speak*

No m'not!

Then what?

Ummm.

Look! A duck!

*Adam splashes Paul with a large amount of bubbly lake water*

*Paul rolls his eyes*

Not what I was lookin' to see.

*Adam sinks down so that only his head is above water. he lowers his mouth and burbles through the water*

What were you looking to see?

*Paul smirks

Paul leers.*

*Adam surfaces for a moment, sticking his tongue out at Paul before diving under again*

*Paul frowns, and looks dubiously at the water.

He doesn't want to go under.

He's been under for far too long.

He starts to tread slowly back to shore.

The soap is itching him.*

*Adam swims up behind Paul and grabs his legs so that he can't walk*

Yes?

*Adam swims around Paul's legs and pops up in front of him*

Why're you going?

I'm wet.

So'm I.

*he moves to stand between Paul and the shore*

My shirt's missing.
