Eleven.

The summer days are a flurry of activity: holding hands as they hike the trails, Morgan attempting to teach Kevin diving and swimming techniques, fooling around in the water, playing in the surf. But the best moments are small and intimate: the warm, open smiles that light up like the sunsets they watch, or the way their hands find each other, fingers curling together.

Afternoons are spent lounging in Kevin’s bedroom until the light filtering through the west-facing window turns from gold to crimson and then fades into twilight. They cuddle, hands finding each other, fingers laced together, or with Morgan curling up in Kevin’s lap, using his thigh as a pillow. They lose time kissing each other slowly. Kevin delights in how novel it seems to be for Morgan, teaching him to use his tongue, coaxing the prettiest sounds from him as they touch.

Morgan seems content with this and doesn’t bring up sex at all, doesn’t seem disappointed when Kevin pulls away before things get too heated. Kevin should probably check in with Morgan, but considering he turned as red as a tomato the first time Kevin suggested he open his mouth during a kiss, it’s probably safe to assume they’re all right on that front.

Kevin figures if Morgan wants to have sex, he’ll bring it up. He seems perfectly fine with how things are progressing. And as long as Morgan’s happy, Kevin’s happy.

They hike all over San Simeon State Park during the next few weeks, holding hands, becoming such regulars that Jenny, the ranger by the front entrance, waves happily every time Ann’s little car rumbles into the dusty lot with the two of them grinning at each other in the front seats. Kevin smiles fondly as Morgan gasps at the view from San Simeon Point, at the vastness of the ocean, at how the shore stretches on for miles. Morgan drags Kevin out into the ocean without his surfboard or his wetsuit, lets the waves barrel him over, teaches him to ride the waves as each incoming current splashes across them. It’s exhilarating and cold, but Morgan loves it—and he never seems to want a wetsuit—so Kevin builds a tolerance to the temperature.

It never ceases to amaze him how fast Morgan is in the water, bobbing through the waves, swimming almost tirelessly, laughing and waiting for Kevin to catch up. At high tide one day, they swim back and forth, racing each other until they’re out of breath.

Kevin teases Morgan when they’re back on shore, accusing him of letting him win.

Morgan grins. “I’d never. You’re a fine swimmer.”

Sally looks up from her lifeguard post as they pass by. “You are really good. Not too many people can swim against the current like that. You on the swim team at school?”

“Nah,” Kevin says.

“Well, you should be. Or consider trying out for junior life­guards, you know. Could use someone like you.”

Kevin shrugs, and Morgan throws him a supportive but curious smile. He’ll probably have to explain what lifeguards and swim teams are once they’re out of Sally’s earshot, so he takes Morgan’s hand, and they walk off.
