some of you are a little too pretty to be on tumblr i think you should be luring people to their watery demise instead
when does a comet become a meteor?
when does a candle become ablaze?
when does a man become a monster?

“are these kids fucking dumb?” tomura leans back and whispers through the metal whistle resting against his lips, “like just get the ball in the net, how hard is that?”
you two sat at the ledge of the dock ankle deep in the lake, lightly kicking the water up a few feet ahead of you. while tomura was hunched forward, with his eyes locked on the game, you were leaning back on the balls of your hands and taking in the sunshine through dark sunglasses. only half of your attention was on the campers swimming back and forth the same 30 meters chasing after the highlighter-yellow ball.
“i don’t know shigs, water polo is-”
your hand flies up to your ear as you’re cut off by the piercing high pitch whistle from between his lips.
“hey!” tomura calls, “elbows to yourself or i’ll eject your ass, sis! don’t think i won’t.”
the competitiveness runs in the family.
“keep everything under the water, guys,” you remind in a gentler tone, “if we can’t see it, it’s legal…ish.”
you blow your own whistle to resume the game before turning and landing a punch on tomura’s shoulder.
“a warning next time, dumbass, you almost blew out my eardrum,” you groan, plugging a knuckle in your ear.
“well someone has to pay attention and ref don’t they? can’t even coach my team either because we’re down two idiots to help run this shit show.”
“the counselors were never this strict with us when we were kids, shigs," you return the attitude, "speaking of the idiots though, where did those two run off to? you saw hawks this morning?"
“clearly you've never had to have kaina as your counselor," he scoffs, "but, you seriously asking me where hawks is on a lake day?” he turns his head back at you and cocks an eyebrow, “as for your boy toy, i have no clue.”
“not my boy toy. don't call him that.” you reach over off the dock and grab a handful of water before throwing it at the back of tomura’s head. “i’m only asking because he wasn’t in the cabin when i woke up.”
"don't overthink it. probably just off plotting to piss his dad off or something." he shakes the water from the hair clinging to the back of his neck, "you know him."
you knew touya was never the one to pass up on a day in the lake. when you were kids, he’d always start the summer off by highlighting the lake days on the calendar. always the first one to jump in. always begging you to sneak out past curfew for a dip- even if it just meant you sitting on the dock with your knees up to your chin watching him go in circles.
there was a specific rush that touya was always chasing- the feeling of being swallowed whole by freezing waters when the surface tension is broken against dry skin. there was nothing as euphoric as the chatter of the world muffled to nothing as water rushed in his ears.
when did he grow out of this?
despite the beautiful day and itinerary of outside activities, there’s a twinge of anxiety bubbling in your chest that you couldn't shake.
“i think i should go look for him,” you suddenly say, pulling your feet out of the water.
“of course you do,” tomura mutters, “sure, leave me alone to watch over these kids who are all actively trying to drown one another.”
as you open your mouth to return a snarky response, you’re met with screams and cheers from the lake.
both of your eyes snap towards the water to find a commotion hidden behind large splashes of white water coming in from all directions.
“you broke my bracelet, you stupid rabid dog!” ochako shrieks, grabbing a fistfull of katsuki’s hair and pulling his head back under the water.
“you’re not even supposed to be wearing that shit in the game,” katsuki coughs once he resurfaces, grabbing her by the straps of her swimsuit and pushing her under.
“aht! aht!” you stand up, rapidly blowing your whistle, ”take it on land, ladies, no one’s drowning on my watch!”
you and tomura exchange side glances as you two watch the group of kids migrate towards the ledge of the lake where they circle around the two wrestling in the patchy grass.
“i didn’t expect them to listen to me so easily,” you mutter under your breath, “you’re welcome, though. no more kids trying to drown each other while i’m gone.”
“yeah, thanks. now they’re just trying to kill each other,” tomura deadpans, “how long do i let them go at it?”
“uhhhh…until blood is drawn?” you shrug, “they’re old enough to know when to call it quits, right? just let them kill their energy.”
“like a bunch of fucking animals,” he sighs, “if you three aren’t back by sundown and leave me alone to entertain them for the bonfire, i’ll be pissed.” he calls out as you make your way up the steps.
“if we’re not back by sundown, i expect you to grab a gun and go after the bear that got our asses.”
tomura rolls his eyes and sends you off with his middle finger up before turning his attention back to the campers.
