"No! Let me go!" Seto struggled in Brice's hold, desperately kicking his legs, but to no avail. The blond was carrying him out of the house, and what's worse, far worse that the humiliating position over Brice's shoulder was the fact that he was only wearing swimming trunks. They both were, and Brice was taking him to the lake for a swim.

That was currently Seto's biggest problem. It was exceptionally hot today and so Brice decided he'd drag Seto away from his books and magical AC and take him for a swim. The Sorcerer wasn't very keen of the idea, resulting with Brice having to throw him over his shoulder and carrying him.

"Brice! This isn't a good idea!"

And there was also a catch – like with everything he did. Seto didn't know how to swim. He never needed to know, he was always totally content with flying around.

"Alright, here we go!" Brice shouted suddenly, startling Seto.

"Wait! No, Brice, I-" he was tossed forward, a scream leaving his lips, his body hitting the surface of the lake with a loud splash. He flailed his arms around wildly, eyes wide and stinging from the water. Tears pushed through, mingling with the lake's water. He tried to break the surface again, but wasn't able to, instead kept sinking and sinking. He panicked, trying to shout out to Brice, but only managed to let out the only breath he had in a puff of bubbles.

Something didn't seem right. Why the hell was Seto staying underwater?

A huge cluster of bubbles emerged from to the surface.

"Seto?" Brice questioned the waters, growing impatient and worried. When he got no answer, he jumped straight into the murky water, without a second thought.

He dived down, the water stinging his eyes, but he pushed through until he caught a glimpse of Seto's purple swimming trunks. He kicked his feet more furiously, treading the water and grabbing onto Seto's arm. He swam up, breaking the surface and holding onto the poor Sorcerer, who looked like he was going to faint any minute.

"Are you okay?" Brice asked, patting Seto's back. The brunet coughed and spat water, holding onto Brice for dear life.

"Y-Yeah…" he managed weakly.

"You never told me you didn't know how to swim!" Brice accused, floating over to the shore, "You could've drowned!"

Seto laughed weakly, "Told you it wasn't a good idea."
