Rolling her eyes, Amur let out a huff of air. "Facts are facts. They hurt. Tough." It was her duty as a friend to let Zeke know the chances. To make him aware that a painful experience might just be right around the corner. "And no. The best thing you ever did was breathe."
Because breathing was essential to living. Arm-candy was not. It was actually proven to go against the ability to breathe. In many different ways. But he was happy, so she was going to let it drop. Nothing more needed to be said on the matter.
Nope. She wanted to show him -----------
What was he doing?
Amur blinked at her friend, utterly confused. Why was he.....what was he........? "Zeke........?" WHY were his pants suddenly shorts?! And why was he...........
Amur over and out. He was shirtless. Somehow, before, it'd never bothered her. Guys took their shirts off. So what? It was normal when swimming. It didn't matter. It had NEVER mattered. WHY then, was it suddenly stalling her. WHY was she STARING at him. It was JUST Zeke. JUST her friend. They'd gone swimming before. SO WHAT was her problem?!
First off, she DID recognize the abs. That was part of the problem. The abs she had commented on off-offhandedly the day before. The abs she had called 'nice', because well, they were. It was a fact. She just didn't know they belonged to Zeke.
Now, she knew. And somehow, that made things ridiculously difficult. As in, she couldn't think of a word to say or somewhere else to put her eyes. She wasn't sure HOW long it lasted, but when she finally managed to suck a breath in to fill her red cheeks, Amur was thoroughly and utterly mortified. She straightened her back and marched stiffly past him. "I. Wanted. To. Show. You. My. Tattoos." She couldn't help how short each word came out. As soon as she was past him, and he couldn't see her face, some of her hard demeanor faded instantly for a sort of bewildered panic.
WHAT. WAS. WRONG. WITH. HER? HA! He saw what she did there, rhyming gloating and bloating... very clever, good one. But he wasn't doing to deny it, his ego was a little inflated, and rightfully so. How else was he to compete with the ego of Perfect Prefect Paton? Hmmm? And Amur's facts, had some truth, sure, maybe, but consider him an optimist where his love life was concerned. If Maggie was going to leave him, she'd have done it by now, but noooooo... he was an excellent boyfriend.
It hadn't occurred to him that Amur had stopped, wasn't she getting ready to swim too? So it was only as he pocketed his wand and looked up to meet her gaze that he noticed she was... not herself.
... "Amur?" he questioned, just as she had questioned him seconds ago. Did he miss something?
Turning slightly to see if the Squid had reared it's ugly head, or if there was a thestral behind him, or a dementor, or a hippogriff on fire... Zeke then turned back, his brows knit together in thought. Her face was a shade of red he hadn't seen before, but she appeared to be breathing, which was good news. "Amur?" he repeated... and then she stalked past him.
Okay then.
And OH! Her tattoos! "The fake ones that won't last long and were a waste of effort and money?" he asked as he followed her. Zeke kicked at the water as he reached the edge, wading into the shallow depths and splashing his arms and torso to test the temperature. The water was a little chilly, but pleasantly so.
