[ Earlier in the day... a certain backstroke swimming boy might notice his phone is blinking, indicating he has a message. ]

[ soft laugh ]

Is that so?

[showyouthesight]

[ Resting his head on Makoto's shoulder for a minute ]

Mhmm. How do you feel about it?

[breachedwhale]

[ aww, that's really cute ]

A bit awkward...?

[showyouthesight]

You'll get the hang of it. Then we can teach Haru too.

[breachedwhale]

Are you sure he'd be into that idea?

[showyouthesight]

It's not that much different from swimming, right?

[breachedwhale]

There's a lot less water than Haru would like.

[showyouthesight]

We could always add water.

[breachedwhale]

Teach him how to dance in the pool? That seems his style.

[showyouthesight]

Exactly. That already sounds amazing!

[breachedwhale]

Since you're the one that knows this better, I'll leave that to you.

[showyouthesight]

No way. You need to practice.

[breachedwhale]

I need to properly learn before I can teach.

[showyouthesight]

I can do the teaching. You can do the practice.

[breachedwhale]

Are you saying you'd be teaching Haru and I at the same time?

[showyouthesight]

You'll be moving on to intermediate.

[breachedwhale]

I still think you'd be better to teach him at this. And you'd probably be able to actually interest him in it with a challenge. I imagine Rin could even get Haru to dance on dry land.

[showyouthesight]

Maybe. But I have to say I'm liking the appeal of water dancing.

And you're fine, Makoto. Dancing's more about what you feel than anything.

[breachedwhale]

I still think you're more suited, but we can talk out those details later...

[ still awkwardly guiding him ]

[showyouthesight]

Oh, did you have your own plans?

[breachedwhale]

No, not exactly... I just figure we don't need to get into a debate today.

[showyouthesight]

Well, today's dancing is just for Makoto so extensions can wait.

[ Retaking that lead so he can give them another spin and nip-kiss at Makoto's lower cheek. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ laughs at that affection ]

I guess that is a proper solution.

[showyouthesight]

I thought you might say that.

[breachedwhale]

Is that so?
