:: Gemini :: The Waters of Lee-bare-tay

[Regan and Cole Robins]

"Cole, stop being such a wimp." Regan led the way onto the deck of the pool and hitched up his trunks, tying up the front.

"I'm not a wimp, I'm just cold." Cole followed him, shivering a little. "I don't see why you HAD to have me along with you."

"Because swimming is no fun on your own, and I haven't been swimming since we left, and I miss swimming, and fuck it, we're swimming. Stop being such a priss."

He could hear Cole sigh but kept walking anyway, headed straight for the diving board. He rounded the side, climbed up on the board. Pool wasn't too busy today. Good. He saw Cole still just standing right there next to the water, not even bothering to put his toe in, and rolled his eyes. "Wimp!" he called over, before taking a running dive off the board.

The splash into the cool water felt amazing. He swam his way upward and threw his hair back and it wasn't until right at that moment that he realized his shorts were suddenly missing.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The twins had gotten better at swimming since the last time they had been here, which was almost about a week ago. They were both already in the pool, enjoying how warm the indoor pool felt to them after having been in the water long enough to move around and warm up. They were not really doing much besides talking to one another about the guys and girls they wanted to bang at the school. That was a normal conversion they had with one another, but this time it was a lot more focused on specific people that had caught their attention.

"Well, I think getting with two of the guys would be easy enough, as for the girls...one of them I see as a possibility." Casper said to his brother, just being practical. He liked to think they could score anyone that they wanted but they both knew that was not true. "Dream a little, bro." Jasper said as he shook his head before sinking under the water for a moment, resurfacing as a pair of twins entered the pool area as well. "Ooo, another set of identical." Jasper muttered to his brother, already making sure Casper was looking.

He was but he had no clue who these two were, having not seen them at all before. Perhaps they were new. "Aww, look at the super shy one. We should throw him in the water." Jasper said as he pointed to the other twin who was off by himself. The brother didn't even care if they were heard right now, it was likely they were with how sound traveled across the top of water. The bolder of the twins seemed fine and even jumped into the water, losing his trunks, and they were quickly snatched up by Jasper, because hello perfect opportunity.

"Don't be too mean brother." Casper warned his brother, but he chuckled a little. People were their toys, they were meant to be played with. "Heeeey, you left something important behind." Jasper said as he waved the shorts around for the entire world to see and remained in the water with his brother.

[Regan and Cole Robins]

Look at the super shy one. We should throw him in the water. Cole felt himself draw his knees up to his chest. That did it. No way was he getting in the pool now.

Cole was not a very public person. Point in fact, he was a very, very private person. And he knew that whoever was talking, they were talking about him. He hadn't looked. He just wanted to be up and out of the water and back in the change room and long gone.

But, Regan.

And then Regan dove off the board and as Cole watched, the rest kind of went in slow-motion. There went the trunks, and there went that one boy, and whoops, there were two of him - another pair of identical twins, Cole realized - and then suddenly that one of them was holding on to the trunks and taunting Regan when he surfaced, and then Cole felt a little chill run through him. This was a bad situation waiting to happen.

He could see the look on Regan's face, along with the blood filling it with red, and Cole urgently pinched the spot on his arm just above his wrist, several times. Their signal. The get-the-fuck-out-of-here signal.

But of course, to Cole's dismay but not surprise, Regan ignored it. Now it was just a question of whether he'd cool it down and play it smart, be an asshole and pick a fight, or cool it down and be an asshole sarcastically.

Regan rolled his shoulders. "Well shit, girls, if you wanted to see me naked that badly, all you had to do was ask."

Cole face-palmed. Sarcastic, then.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The brothers were both grinning a little at seeing how the other set of identical twins were reacting to the situation. The boys were being nice, well nice-ish at the moment and were just playing around as young boys did. They didn't see the harm in what they were doing and it was not like they yanked the swimming trunks off of the boy. Nope. They had just lucked out to be close by and grabbed a hold of them and were now waving them around. It might have been drawing attention to anyone else that might have been in the pool.

Jasper did plan on giving the guy back his trunks, but he had to come over to them in order to get them back. Jasper was nice and comfy trending water where he was right next to his brother. One of the other twins seemed like he was about ready to run out of there, while the other was turning red but didn't seem like he was ready to leave just yet. This was going to be interesting, for the twins at least. They didn't know of that set of twin’s power but that never really stopped them from being themselves.

That meant they were going to still say and do as they pleased at the end of the day. "Girls?" Jasper asked and then started to laugh. Casper shook his head because not it was practically on already. Jasper then doves under water for a moment before resurfacing and chuckling a little. "Says you. Are you even a dude? I can't see you pecker is so small. Calling it a pecker actually fits with its size." Jasper said, now being mean. He was still smiling a little, meaning he was not outright angry but he was clearly peeved. "Just get over here and take your trunks." Casper spoke up, that was basically his help in this situation.

[Regan and Cole Robins]

Something was not quite right here. Cole's nerves were totally on edge, and he couldn't quite put his finger on why, but there was something about the way the other twins were carrying themselves that was sending up red flags. It could have been nothing at all, but Cole was good at - and used to - following his instincts.

Before Regan could answer them, Cole whipped his hand to his arm and let fly a series of quick, coded pinches. He'd had to use this particular signal often enough that the message would be loud and clear to Regan: this is not a good idea. Play nice and abort.

Up ahead, Regan had gotten even closer, and he was opening his mouth to speak, and then the pinches came through, and he stopped dead. He turned and looked at Cole, locking eyes. Cole stared back, and repeated the set of pinches, not breaking the eye contact even for a second. Regan glanced back at the twins and then to him, the red in his face easing up a little, hesitated, and then quickly pinched his own arm twice. Message received and acknowledged. Cole sighed with relief.

Regan turned back around, still not even bothering to cover himself, and shrugged. "No, it's okay - since you wanted them so much, you can keep 'em." He swam away, heading toward where Cole was sitting.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The brothers had no clue what was going on between the other set of twins, they just knew that whatever it was, the one that was not really saying anything seemed to be the other brothers leash. Kind of like how Casper was Jasper's lease but he tended to use looks and words to get his message across to his brother. Or Casper would even let his brother do as he liked within reason depending on the situation and what was going on. Jasper was a bit excited for what the one twin was going to say but then he got nothing and the other boy was swimming away.

"Lame. No fun at all." Jasper said as her moved to climb out of the pool then. Casper followed behind his brother, the siblings standing on the edge of the pool, dripping wet as their swimming trunks clung to their waist lines. If the other set of twins were not going to have any fun with them, then the brothers didn't see the point in bothering them. They wanted toys, toys that were fun to play with and that they got a reaction out of. "Since he does not want them, should I hang them up on the flag pole?" Jasper asked his brother, speaking up so they could be heard as he shook Ragan's swimming trunks in the air.

"Hmmm...depends if you are willing to make that cold dash to the flag pole or if he is just going to come over here and take them." Casper said, his gaze now looking over to the other set of identical twins. "Yeah, come on. We don't bite. Just come over here and take your swimming trucks!" Jasper followed up, now directly talking to the other set of twins. "I think you mean, we don't bite hard...all the time." Casper said, mainly to his brother but again was speaking at a level that could be heard by anyone close by.

[Regan and Cole Robins]

It had taken just about all of Regan's self control to turn himself around and respond to Cole's signal, but now he was smiling, because now he was enjoying the game. He hated to admit it, but Cole was right: these two were all about the reaction. They wanted exactly what Regan had been about to give them, and it might not have gone too well for either twin. So, Regan thought, play the game.

Cole might not have been quite as ready for that.

"Regan..." Cole whispered urgently. "Please tell me you're not--"

"You bet your ass I am," Regan whispered back, not even hesitating for a second as he climbed out of the pool, totally bare-assed.

Then those other twins started talking, and Regan turned to face them, still not bothering to cover himself up - he lived for the spotlight and he knew it. Life, lemons, lemonade, yada yada.

"Don't bite hard, eh?" He grinned. "You know, I'm actually pretty comfortable without them, but if you wanna come show me that bite, you come be my guest. I'm right here."

Cole, he could see out of the corner of his eye, had his palm in his face and was beet-red, which meant that Regan was too, but so what? He could listen to Cole's lecture later. Right now he was having too damn much fun.

OOC Notes:

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

One of the twins; the one that the brothers were holding the swimming trunks of, was still not talking to them. Boo, no fun at all. The siblings were really considering leaving to hang the swimming trucks up on the flag pole or tossing them in the trash and going back to swimming if the guy was not going to come over and get them. Was it really that hard to just swim on over and take them back and put them on. The siblings didn't actually have anything ill planned for the other boy if and when he came over to take his swimming trunks back. So long as he didn't piss them off nothing bad would happen.

Yeah, he got Jasper a little riled up but not in terms of actually making him angry. The one that had been in the pool then got out, completely naked and didn't even bother covering himself. The boys had seen butts before so they were not really bothered by it and nor where they effected by anything when he turned around. They had slept with guys before so nothing was really known in this whole department of seeing bits and what not. He was then bringing up the whole biting thing and the brothers could not help but to start to smirk. "I bet you would like us to come over there and bite you." Jasper said, still smirking.

"It's clearly his kink. I wonder if he had his twin bite him. They look to be the type that would be into that sort of thing." Casper added. He mainly made that statement since there were a few people who would ask or bring that up about them. Hey, with shows like Game of Thrones it was hard to wipe away the whole twincest thing, but the brothers were not into that at all. "Look, all we want to do is give you your swimming trunks Peter Pecker. Do you want them or not?" Jasper asked, still waving them around with neither him or his siblings moving from where they were standing.

[Regan and Cole Robins]

"I bet you would like us to come over there and bite you."

"It's clearly his kink. I wonder if he had his twin bite him. They look to be the type that would be into that sort of thing."

Oh god oh god oh god.

Cole was trying as hard as he could to just disappear. The temptation to throw himself into the pool and just drown was overwhelming. And here was his totally butt-naked brother standing next to him. They were going to be in so much trouble.

As if he didn't notice Cole's discomfort, Regan just laughed. "What's that supposed to be, an insult? Am I supposed to get all grossed out, is that it?" Cole felt a little twinge of muscle activity that told him Regan had shrugged. "Nah, man. I'm just not his type, and none of you are mine. I just figured since you seem to want it so badly, I might as well offer."

The twins offered him his suit back, and Regan shrugged again. "You wanna bring them back, be my guest, but make a decision already. You keeping them or not?"

Cole had gotten up, still trying to hide his face, knowing that Regan was going to get a blistering earful from him later, and just started walking back to the change rooms, post-haste. Of all the terrible ways this swimming thing could have turned out, this was just about in the bottom three.

"Yeah, it was meant to be an insult. Typically if someone brings up you having a thing for your twin are an insult." Jasper said, rolling his eyes. His level of care was now dropping. He felt that these other set of twins were pretty dumb and were not at all playing the game in a fun way. They wanted a reaction, something entertaining or at least enough to actually make them mad. Right now they just felt bored and that their IQs were dropping by the second. It was mostly Jasper that felt that way, but Casper did a little. He was more so curious on what the boy’s power was and their names since he didn't know the answer to either of those questions.

"Do you even have a type?" Jasper asked, but he didn't really want an answer. He didn't see how the other guy could get laid with that kind of personality. Like Jasper was one to talk. They just wanted the guy to come over and take his bathing suit, but he was still being all odd about it. Was it really that hard for him to move his legs over to them, hold his hand out, and take his swimming trunks back? It must have been since he seemed incapable of doing something so simple. "Brother, let’s just hand them over to him. I don't think his brain has fully developed to the stage of being able to walk over to someone and take something they are offering to him." Casper said to his brother, patting him on his shoulder.

Jasper let out a sigh but the siblings both moved then over to the other pair of twins. They didn't have a problem with the naked guy but they figured if someone did walk in they would say the brothers stripped the other boy or something crazy like that. Casper was the one to take the boxers and hold them out to Regan since Jasper was currently standing behind his brother and trying to settle himself enough to not just punch the guy for making them having to walk over here and losing the warmth they had built up in the pool.

[Regan and Cole Robins]

Regan was very conscious that Cole was just walking away, and very aware of how much trouble he was going to be in later, but he was still smirking a little as he deigned to walk a little ways around the pool, meeting the other twins a little under halfway. He accepted his trunks and gave a mock-appreciative nod to the pair as he pulled them back on, securing them a little better this time. "Thanks, gentlemen. Hope you enjoyed the view." He winked at one of them - not that he could tell them apart, but the one that seemed a little less level-headed - and hopped back into the water, starting to swim across to the side closest to the changing rooms.

He wondered about the two boys he'd just been egging along. There was something kind of... strange about the, he thought. Not that he could put a finger on what 'strange' meant, but there was something. The way they talked about him, like he wasn't just annoying - which he was and he knew it - but like... lesser. He wondered in hindsight whether he shouldn't have just gotten out of there.

Still, he thought, it could be interesting running into them again. IF for no other reason than to find out what their powers were, and if they didn't have any, what they were doing at this school in the first place.

Anyway. Let's face the music, he thought.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

At least the twin that was giving them such a hard time had enough sense to move his legs and actually meet up with them to get his shorts back. Was it something that was so hard to do? That was all they wanted from him from the start. For him to just come over to them and get his shorts since they were actually being nice to give them back to him. It was just noted for a next time that they would not be so nice. If there was a next time. With how things were going so far, the siblings were feeling particularly bored with this matching set that they didn’t even know the names of.

“No, I didn’t at all.” Jasper said, his words coming out incredibly dry and bored. “We might have enjoyed it better if you were not such an air head.” Casper spoke up, making something of a suggestion. Unlike his brother he was not angry or too bored with the other pair yet, but he was getting there. The other twin of the other set of twins had not even said anything to them. How boring. “Your brother a mute or something?” Jasper asked, referring to the twin that had walked off. They could see that he was heading off to the changing room, and that caught their interest.

That was why the siblings were already moving past naked boy and following after his twin in the changing room, to see if he would make a good toy. If he was going to be more interesting than his brother or if he was going to say anything. If not, well the Emory boys were very tempted in making him talk for the sake of hearing that he could.

[Regan and Cole Robins]

They were headed to the change rooms, Regan thought as they walked. Why were they headed to the change rooms?

Regan's breathing sped up. Cole. That's why. Regan cursed out loud to himself. It'd been way too easy to get his trunks back. He knew it. Shit. Why had he chosen to swim back across to the other side? He was not an overly fast swimmer, and he wasn't going to get there before they did.

He thought about yelling after them, trying to get their attention focused on him again, but somehow he didn't think that'd do it. He didn't have much left in the way of options. He kept going but with one arm he rapidly pinched a warning into his arm, hoping Cole would hurry his ass up and get out of there.



Inside the change rooms, Cole felt the flurry of pinches as he was halfway through towelling himself off, and jumped a little in surprise. He frowned. What did Regan want now? If he wanted Cole to go back out and rescue him from his little naked encounter with the other twins, Cole wasn't about to indulge him. He'd made his bed, now he had to lie in it.

Still, there was an urgency to it that he didn't particularly like. He started to go about his business a little bit faster, everything combined making him want to just be gone as soon as possile. He'd considered showering but thought better of it now, just drying himself off as quickly as he could.

He was about to take off his trunks when he saw the other twins enter the change room. He turned white and looked away, deciding that maybe they were just finished up with swimming, and if he didn't cause a fuss they wouldn't bother him.

Then again, suddenly he had an idea of what Regan's pinches were supposed to mean.

[Casper & Jasper Emory]

The siblings were done with the other twin; he had messed up his chance of getting them interested or having any level of fun. He would have to try again later because right now the siblings were trying their hands at seeing how his brother was. If this didn't go so well then they were going to change and head back to their rooms for a snack or something. They needed to go to the changing room in either situation so this worked out.

Jasper walked pretty fast once in the changing room, trying to see if he could catch a glimpse of anything. Only to find that the boy was still in his swimming trunks. Boo. "We are here for you, so no point in looking away." Jasper said as he moved closer to the lone twin now in the locker room. He was already looking him over, seeing that he pretty much looked like the other twin out there. So yes, these two were very much identical to one another like Jasper and Casper were with each other.

"Do you speak?" Jasper asked, already moving to be in the other boy's personal space. He would have practically pinned the boy to the wall for answers if his brother had not pulled him back some. "Go basic brother. What is your name?" Casper spoke up. First he was speaking to his brother but the question was directed at the other boy in the changing room with them. The twins looked at him, waiting for something, anything.

[Regan and Cole Robins]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity shit fuck. Fuck.

Cole knew Regan would be feeling his elevated heart rate. He trembled. He was bad enough around people in general. These two were different. He'd known it just from looking at them. They weren't interested in leaving him alone. They weren't interested in what he wanted to do. He didn't know what they wanted, but Cole was trembling now. He felt unsafe. He wanted to be gone.

And he was in his swimming trunks.

He thought about trying to leave but these other twins were right up in his personal space, and he had the odd sense that if he tried, they wouldn't let him. They were asking him questions. They got uncomfortably close. He felt his breathing quicken and he tried to keep himself calm but it didn't work. It was a nightmare.

Regan hadn't come in yet. He didn't know why. Had they done something to him? They couldn't have, Cole would have felt it. But why? Why wasn't Regan here? Regan needed to be here. Now.

Help.

Fuck..

Cole swallowed heavily, and when he spoke his voice was basically a whisper, it was so quiet. "C-Cole... what do you w-want from me? I just wanna go home..."
