30. RAINER

I DROWN THEM all in my wake. All except Cloud. And they’re none the wiser.

It’s funny how being rivals and rivals-who-fuck-around feel so similar. Whenever we compete in practice, whether it’s the end of a distance set we both struggle through or a set of sprints killing our lactic-acid-heavy muscles, we push each other. We trade off victories, we succumb to defeats. But we never lose sight of each other. Never lose that lustful, frustrated fuel that powers our endless efforts to best the other.

To our coaches and teammates, it looks like healthy, aggressive competition. But every time we finish a set or a sprint, I want to swim over to Cloud and drown him—until we only need to breathe each other.

My cock aches constantly. My pulse picks up even when we’re resting on the wall. I never dare to get in his lane, afraid my hands will find their way to his body, into his speedo. It’s not hard to remember to taunt or tease him.

It’s hard to keep from touching him. All the fucking time.

So we touch with our eyes. Our glares and our stares carry enough heat to be mistaken for anger or toughness. Not the volcanic attraction that would gladly bury us both in a boiling embrace.

At least, I assume we’re both nearly succumbing to the same flame of desire. Every time I imagine sucking on his juicy pecs or spreading apart those strong thighs—I think about the playground. The rainstorm. I think about the way Cloud’s stoniness cracks. How it is both intriguing and unsettling. I’m curious about what lies beneath but terrified of being crushed by the falling pieces. Or worse, unable to prevent my own cracks from forming.

“Good practice,” Cloud murmurs on a Friday afternoon, as he faces the shower adjacent to mine. His hand dives into his speedo, innocently washing his crotch or scratching an itch. Only, he’s offering me a delicious peek as the showers start to empty out. My knees itch to hit the tiles. My mouth begs to be filled.

The shower suddenly feels like a rainstorm.

“I’d say the same if you hadn’t died at the end of those last sprints. You left me competing with that turd Parrish. If his ego gets any bigger, he’ll sink your relay race tomorrow.” Cloud shrugs and pulls his hand out of his speedo. Quieter, I add, “Hey, do you wanna room together at the meet?”

Cloud’s shoulders tense. “I already told Brighton I’d bunk with him.”

“So if I start crying and cling to you like a needy koala bear, you’ll change your mind?”

“I don’t think screwing around at our first swim meet is smart for either of us.”

I laugh and take a step closer. Cloud shifts away. “Sunny, being reckless and naughty is why I swim so fucking fast. You should try it. Coming on my face again may help you clinch the relay win.”

Cloud shuts off his shower and leaves. I bite my lip, wondering if casual crudeness is something I can let go of in hopes of keeping Cloud around.
