“Ha! You should’ve seen your face! It was hilarious!” Aiyden was holding his stomach, literal tears of laughter in his eyes as he pointed at your sopping wet form. You and Aiyden were nothing but pure rivals. Well, Aiyden saw it as more of a frenemy situation but you beg to differ. This man has been the bane of your existence for many years and counting and it was just your luck that when you took up your part time job as a lifeguard, that he was working there too.

Once Aiyden caught some semblance of his breath from laughing, he just had to continue to dig into you, “Like, like—what even made you think, ‘Oh, now would be an awesome time to jump in!’ Come on, you do realize that your eyesight is trash, right?” More laughing.

Okay, so maybe you thought that an item floating adrift was a drowning child, but from far away it really did look like one! But damn it, now it just gave Aiyden more ammunition to fire back at you. Ever since the two of you had to work together, it’d been fine during the working hours. But like now, during break, all bets were off. Lately you’d been pulling pranks back and forth on each other and this is another point for Aiyden it seems.

Wiping at his eyes, Aiyden grabbed a towel, plopping it on your head and beginning to dry off your hair, “Hold still, idiot. I really don’t know how you manage to do these things.” Aiyden’s eyes were crinkled with clear amusement and mirth as he looked down on you. His face softened around the edges a little. This was what was so confusing about him. He’d constantly poke and prod at you until you blew up and then he’d turn around and do something nice for you. It was weird. Right?

“I’m surprised you haven’t been fired by now.” He added with a smirk. And there it was. Back to pissing you off.
