#37
“Hey,” Rodrigo suddenly called out to me with a relaxed grin, “you still into photography?”
I blinked, caught off guard. “Uh… yeah. Sort of.”
Photography? Right—there was a camera in my room. I had seen it earlier and just assumed it was a decoration. Did I have that hobby?
“Still got that old camera?” Rodrigo asked.
“I… do.” I nodded, forcing a smile. “Takes better shots than my memory.”
“Yeah,” he said with a laugh. “Honestly, I was surprised you didn’t bring it tonight. You usually never leave it behind.”
“Oh, uh… I guess I forgot. Happens, right?”
“Yeah, yeah, I remember you said you were out of film,” Rodrigo said. “Sorry, I couldn’t go with you when you invited me to pick some up. My mom dragged me back to my grandparents’ place that week.”
“It’s fine. Really.” I nodded again, the words coming out a little too quickly. “I picked some up already.”
“Hey, you should have brought your camera with you. We could have made some good pictures.”
“Oh, no way,” I said, smirking. “I’m not wasting my film on your ass.”
Donna frowned. “Are you saying my ass isn’t worth photographing?!”
“I didn’t say that~”
“You little—!” Donna suddenly rejoined the conversation with a playful glare. “Should I shove my ass in your face so you can appreciate how perfect it is?”
“No!” I laughed. “That sounds like a nightmare.”
“Hah!” Rodrigo burst into laughter, water splashing as he doubled over.
Donna turned to him with a dramatic pout. “Hon, are you laughing with me or at my ass?”
Rodrigo immediately composed himself. “No, no—definitely not laughing at your ass. In fact, I love your ass. Very much. Hon.”
“Oh, you sweet man~” Donna beamed, grabbing him by the cheeks and planting a long, slow kiss on his lips.
Their kiss was deep, unhurried. The kind you give when there’s no rush—when you’ve kissed someone so many times that each one still feels new. It was… intimate. A little too intimate.
I rolled my eyes and splashed water at them. “Hey! Get a room, would you?”
Donna pulled back, lips glistening, and glanced at me with that same teasing grin she always wore when she was about to stir trouble. “I can kiss you if you want~”
I couldn’t help the laugh that escaped me. “Fuck off.”
I swam a few strokes away, letting the cool water wash over my face and shoulders. Behind me, their laughter drifted across the surface—effortless and bright, but it was beginning to fade into the distance.
I exhaled and sank underwater. Here, the world seemed to have changed.
The noise above dimmed into a dull throb, voices reduced to muffled vibrations, like echoes bouncing through a hollow cavern. My arms moved more slowly here, my legs cutting through the dense water with quiet resistance. It was like moving through a dream—weightless and detached. Every movement sent ripples of light fluttering across the tiles below, where the pool lamps cast a soft glow that shimmered like fallen stars. Blue and gold light flickered along my arms, as if the universe itself was trying to write something across my skin.
I hovered in place, letting gravity and buoyancy cancel each other out.
The cold bit into me slowly, not unkindly. It seeped in, numbing the edges of my body, silencing the restless buzz of thought in my head. In that suspended space, I didn’t feel like a guest anymore. I didn’t feel like someone pretending to belong.
I just felt… still.
I let myself drift, curling into a slow spin, watching the distorted ceiling through the water. Moonlight bled in from beyond the pool’s edge, and I imagined it brushing over me like a hand I hadn’t felt in years. In a world this foreign, even the moon felt like an old friend.
For a moment, I wasn’t the guy keeping secrets. I wasn’t the lucky man who was suddenly thrown into this world without rhyme or reason. Without purpose. I was just a body floating in stillness. Just breath and bone.
The past I’d come from- the world I used to know- felt like a faded dream now.
Or maybe, it was indeed a dream?
There was no past life. No previous world. Just this. The accident just toyed with my head, making me think that I came from another world.
I wonder. Am I just being delusional?
I really don’t know.
I blinked through the currents, light rippling across my vision, and then, suddenly, I saw her.
Ally.
She floated a few feet away, suspended mid-stroke. Her hair flowed around her like ink in water, drifting lazily with the current.
I didn’t think. Or maybe I thought too much in the span of a second. Either way, something stirred in me, some mix of adrenaline and emotion that crossed a line before I could name it. I just wanted to hug someone. I wanted to feel someone’s touch. I felt like I needed something to wash away these unsettling emotions. So, I swam toward her and then. I reached forward, pulled her gently by the shoulders, and kissed her.
Her eyes widened in shock, but just for a second. Then her arms came up around my neck, and she kissed me back. We stayed like that—weightless, breathless—suspended between two worlds. The warmth of her skin, the coolness of the water, and the way time seemed to pause. Uncomfortable emotions seem to have been washed away from my heart. My head cleared of any unwanted thoughts. Just her.
Our kiss slowly increased in intensity as the passion of the night before began returning. I caressed her side and brought my hand up to firmly stroke her chest. I could feel her nipples start to harden while our tongues began dancing together. However, I see it now. I didn’t notice it before since my chest remains the same, aside from the fact that my nipples are a little bit bigger and more sensitive.
But other men do have bigger boobs- well, not as big as that of a woman, but there is indeed a bump, and it’s soft. Although I’m not sure if Ally is just different because of his ‘peculiar condition,’ Rodrigo did have bigger man boobs. I thought that was just muscles.
Eventually, we surfaced, gasping and blinking under the dim glow of the string lights.
She wiped water from her eyes, her breath shallow.
“Well,” she said, and then laughed—quiet, surprised.
“I… sorry,” I said. “I wasn’t sure if—”
“Don’t apologize.”
She swam backward a few strokes, studying me with an unreadable expression. Then she smiled—soft and real.
“I was wondering how long you were gonna wait.”
I blinked as I climbed to the edge of the pool and sat.
“You were?” I said, looking at her.
“You’re not exactly subtle.”
I opened my mouth to protest—but stopped. Fair. I wasn’t.
She gave a little shrug, casual and almost smug. She swam toward me, settling between my legs. She placed her hand on the small bulge of my shorts, tentatively at first, and looked at me to see if I was about to object. I looked right at her and smiled at her.
“I’m sure you’re getting curious, or maybe interested. But one thing is for sure, you’re getting better at accepting me,” she said, nuzzling her face against my crotch.
“I guess so,” I said honestly.
I stroke her hair and she looks at me cutely.
“Do you want me to blow you?”
“Here?” I asked.
I turned my head towards the others.
Mick was half-on, half-off a pool chair, his open mouth catching mosquitoes. One of the girls had curled up against one of the boys—no idea which—and another was lying face-down on the grass, completely out of it. Someone had draped a towel over her like a makeshift blanket. I didn’t see Rodrigo or Donna anymore, so I figured they’d slipped off to their rooms. Or each other’s. I didn’t want to guess.
“If it’s okay with you,” I said.
Ally didn’t say anything and hooked a fingernail into my waistband on either side and eased them down, popping my cock free. By this time, her face was level with my cock, which was getting hard.
Staring at it, she licked her lips.
“It’s been quite a while,” she said.
She put her hand on the base of my cock and squeezed. Putting her lips on the swelling tip, she began to nibble on it, tonguing the slit and sucking the head inside her hot mouth. Then she sucked the entire length as deep into her mouth as it would go.
With a slow sucking motion, she began to work it in and out of her mouth.
“Aahh~”
As I was feeling incredibly good, suddenly I felt a presence behind me.
I know I should stop this. I know should have pushed Ally away and pretended nothing was happening between us, but it just felt so good that I could not stop.
“Oh? It seems like you’re having fun~”
And it was too late.
I turned my head and found Donna and Rodrigo looking at us with a smirk. At least they were not looking at us like we were disgusting or a creep.
“Hey,” I said, pressing my hands on the back of Ally’s head when she tried to pull out.
Rodrigo looked at me, smirking. “We just went out to get some beer, and you’re both already on it?”
I glared at him. “What? Is that a problem?” My gaze challenged him to say anything.
Although I would not have blamed him if he reacted negatively, after all, to him, Ally is still a boy. And two boys doing this in a pool…? I mean, perhaps to this world, it would be like a girl eating another girl’s cunt. No problem then.
“No, not at all. Don’t worry, it’s cool~” Rodrigo grinned and sat beside me. He then looked at Ally, looking interested.
“You’re not surprised?”
“Nah, I feel like there were signs.”
“It’s a surprise for me. No wonder you always treated me coldly, Ally. So you swing that way~” Donna sat beside Rodrigo and said, smirking in amusement.
Ally glared at her.
She tapped my hand, and I let go. She pulled her head out and looked at her, “Even if I’m not, I won’t fall to your seduction, you nympho.”
“You know that’s not a nice thing to say,” Donna snickered.
“If you want to laugh, laugh.”
“No one’s going to laugh at you, dear,” Rodrigo muttered while playfully pinching her face. “Don’t worry, liking someone is not about gender. However, I don’t blame you for trying to keep it a secret. We do have people who might think badly about it,”
I never knew he could be so considerate. Well, I guess I just didn’t know him that much yet.
“So, you two are officially together?”
Ally look at me. Well, it would be kind of a jerk of me if I deny it.
“Yes,” I shrugged. “I guess, you can say that.”
I saw Ally smile happily. I guess I made the right choice.
“Wow, that’s great. Congratulations~” Rodrigo grinned and suddenly wrapped his arms around me.
Although I’ve already accepted Ally, still being hugged by a buff man like Rodrigo is different.
“T, thanks. Now get off me.” I said.
“How cold, deary~” Rodrigo snickered in amusement. He then turned to Ally, and I thought he would be hugging her as well. Although he did try to open his arms to her, saying ‘Come here,’ Ally completely ignored him.
Ally then went back to what she was doing and, as if realizing that there’s nothing to worry anymore with them knowing what she was doing, started to lick my shaft again. Rodrigo watched with interest. Ally was annoyed, or embarrassed, I’m not sure, but she shooed him away.
“That seems fun.”
Donna was watching us, seemed jealous, and looked at her boyfriend.
“Babe, do that for me, too.”
“What? Here?”
“Oh, come on, don’t be a jerk,” she said and suddenly pushed Rodrigo into the pool. She then moved closer to me and spread her legs, untying the strings of her bikini.
“Come here, Babe. Don’t lose to them.”
