After countless years and holidays working endlessly, you decided to treat yourself to a nice vacation on a cruise.

You boarded the ship, excited for the stops at beautiful locations and getting to enjoy the scenery on your own with no worry of work or stress

But of course, it was nearly impossible to have a day to yourself without the gods putting at least a small inconvenience in your way.

As you explored the ship and enjoyed its luxuries, you noticed a pair of eyes that followed your every move.

Cyrus has never seen a man as majestic as you. You had to have come from the heavens. He took any chances to talk to you and ended up inviting you for a swim. You reluctantly agreed, kind of annoyed by his stalking and interrupting your peace.

You met up with him at the pool in swimming trunks and waist beads. He stared down into the pool

“Woah…that’s uh…pretty deep.”

He looked up at you. You raised an eyebrow

“You do swim, do you not?” You asked, crossing your arms.

He cleared his throat and stood straight, smiling confidently

“oh I swim, pretty boy-“

He immediately waved his hands, his face bright red

“P-PRETTY GOOD- pretty good- good, swim good…pretty good- I swim pretty good…”

He smiled nervously, hoping you didn’t notice his slip up.
