Swim watched Icy go through the movements. He stayed above the water for a moment to watch Icy’s colors move around under the water, then dove to watch him swim around underneath. He stayed stationary, but ready to move if needed, and when he saw the bubbles leaving Icy, a sign that he was getting ready to go up, Swim did the same and met him above the water again.
Icy’s excitement was infectious, Swim laughing along as he splashed back playfully, "Right?? Like a whole different world down there." He looked beyond proud as he watched Icy, getting close to give him a nudge, "We should probably go dry off though. Cause I think one of my favorite parts of swimming is the sunbathing afterwards." He grinned excitely.

A shiver ran through Icy's body as Swim nudged him. He half-absently heard Swim suggest sunbathing and followed him out of the water.

He watched Swim's silhouette in front of him. When Swim looked back Icy grinned teasingly at him, approached him and when he was almost next to him, he shook himself with all his strength so that the water drops flew. “That’s what you get!” he chuckled and then collapsed into the sand. "Hurry up, the sand is so nice and warm" he said, still grinned cheekily.

Swim laughed when he was sprayed with excess water, waiting until Icy was settled into the sand before shaking himself off, spraying water droplets back onto the buck.

He gave a playful smirk, then smiled gently as he settled into the sand as well beside Icy, "Mmmmmmm warm~ I like this feeling." He turned onto his side to get the full warmth he could.

Icy winced and then playfully stuck out his tongue at him. Icy probably deserved that.

When Swim layed down on the sand next to him, he glanced over at him. The sunlight cast a golden hue over Swim’s vibrant fur, and Icy marveled at his beauty.

“Swim?” Icy started, nervous energy bubbling inside him. “Can I tell you a secret?”

Swim looked curious, turning onto his side to face Icy, "Hmm? Sure~" He looked curious about whatever Icy could have to say, admiring the way Icy's coat glistened as it dried in the sunlight.

Taking a deep breath, Icy gathered his thoughts. “I’ve discovered something about myself today. It’s not just that I enjoy swimming, it’s…” His voice trailed off. “It’s like I can truly be myself around you.”

In the gentle embrace of the sand, the sunlight accentuated their colors, highlighting not only the playful innocence of their activities but the deeper bond that was forming right before them. As they shared laughter, glances, and newfound vulnerabilities, the land around them began to fade into the background, leaving only the gentle sound of water and the start of something beautiful between two souls who had come together by chance.
