"How could I not?" Ansel replied, treading the water gently as he gazed into Lucio's eyes. He leaned into his love's hand as best he could and kissed the fleshy part of Lucio's palm, closing his eyes as the water licked his face. "I enjoy myself whenever I am with you." Ansel reached out underneath the water and found Lucio's waist, gently guiding the thin body to him. Using only his legs to keep himself afloat, Ansel manipulated Lucio's body so that his legs were around Ansel's waist. Lucio was so light that the added weight around his body didn't seem to make much of a difference, and once Lucio was mostly settled, Ansel kept one arm around his waist while the other helped keep them steady in the water.<br/><br/>Ansel leaned back slightly, allowing his and Lucio's natural buoyancy to keep them both up. He looked up and even though the sun had only set a short while ago, Ansel could see a plethora of stars already dotting the inky sky. It was beautiful, and the stars served to remind Ansel that before long it would be very dark out on the water without the ambient light of the city to illuminate their surroundings. As much Ansel was enjoying this time here with Lucio, he decided it would be smart not to linger out here too long. Soon he would usher Lucio back to the shore, cold and wet, and hold him close as they made their way back inside of the house. Soon. But not quite yet.<br/><br/>Three more days of this sounded absolutely blissful. Part of Ansel didn't want to believe that on Monday he'd have to return to work, to his normal everyday life. It was a job he loved, in a city he loved, but how could it compare now to this, to him and Lucio together, away from the rest of the world in their own little sanctuary? The silver lining was knowing that Lucio would be there, in the center of the third row, smiling at him. Ansel figured if he could have that, he could do anything.<br/><br/>"Lucio . . . " There was that urge again, to tell Lucio the truth. But he couldn't, so instead, he just lifted his head and pressed a wet kiss against his lover's lips. As they kissed, his legs slowed their movement, causing Ansel to sink down into the water slowly. He didn't mind in the slightest, finding the feeling of having his body entangled with Lucio's as he descended into the cold water rather pleasant.
