Nic hesitated a moment before nodding.

Laurel rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand as she grabbed Nic's hand and intertwined her fingers.

Nic squeezed Laurel's hand a little.

"Carry me there," she whispered as she leaned her shoulder against his.

Nic paused a moment before gently picking up Laurel and grabbing her scooter before bringing Laurel to her room so she could change.

Laurel hid her face in his shirt. When he set her in her room she turned to him, "You should change too... I'll meet you at the pool," she told him in a tired voice.

"... Alright," Nic told her before letting her be. After a reasonable amount of time he arrived at the pool. He had on his same swimming shorts and wetsuit top.

Laurel was wearing a comfortable looking bikini. She was already in the shallow end, sitting on the steps with a distanced look.

So Nic went over to Laurel and sat beside her.

Laurel blinked as she realized he was there and glanced over at him, "You look good," she said with a little less heart than usual as she kissed his cheek.

Nic didn't mind as he kissed her cheek lightly back.

Laurel wrapped her arms around his neck before moving, trying to draw him further into the water.

Nic let her as he wadded deeper into the pool.

Laurel pressed her body closer to Nic's, allowing the water to carry her weight as she rested her head on his shoulder, "Should we dance?" she whispered.

"... Uh..." Nic muttered, stopping. They had just gotten in the pool and now she wanted to get out and go dancing?

Laurel started to sway in the pool, not catching his confusion. She hummed a bit, one of the tunes from the previous night.
