Prompt 23 - Diving

@wolfstarmicrofic August 23, word count 435

“Come on Padfoot, stop being such a scaredy-cat!” Remus yelled from the pool below, slowly treading water. “Even Peter’s jumped from there!” Remus shouted again.

“Hey!” Peter splashed Remus. “What do you mean even Peter has? So rude!”

Sirius’s knees were knocking together at the top of the diving board. He’d had no idea he was afraid of heights before he climbed to the top of the ladder and stepped up to the edge of the bouncing board. He swallowed nervously and looked down again. He squeaked and took a clumsy step back. 

“Come on Padfoot!” They all called up to him. He watched as James hauled himself out of the pool and headed towards the ladder. Fuck. James was so just going to push him off. 

“Hey, Padfoot, if you jump I’ll snog ya!” Remus called, cupping his mouth with his hands to make sure Sirius heard him. 

Suddenly his fear was gone as he stared in disbelief at Remus bobbing below. He’d been trying for months, years, to get Remus to kiss him, and now he was just offering! He blinked, strode forward and jumped off the end. He heard an oof as his feet left the solid board and leapt into the air. He turned his head and James was falling with him. His body was flat in the air, not like the elegant bough Sirius’s body was stretched into. 

“Serves you right!” Sirius yelled a split second before they hit the water. He barely made a splash but James’s belly flop was so loud it echoed off the walls. Sirius could hear it under the water. 

He kicked out with his legs and pulled himself forward with his arms under the water, popping up directly in front of Remus. “You owe me a kiss,” He smirked. 

“Yes I do,” Remus murmured back, wrapping an arm around Sirius’s back and dragging him closer before pressing his chlorine-laced lips to Sirius’s. Sirius’s knees went weak, and he slipped from Remus’s arms under the surface of the water. He spluttered as he broke through the surface, trying to right himself. 

“No, that doesn’t count. I want a do-over. No!” He couldn’t believe he’d done that. After all this time and he'd swooned, what an idiot! 

“Hush, I’ll kiss you anytime you want,” Remus huffed out a laugh, dragging Sirius close again. Sirius relaxed. A grin that could eclipse the sun spread across his face. “You’re still a scaredy-cat though,” Remus snickered, kissing the top of his wet hair. Your scaredy-cat, Sirius’s brain supplied, and he hoped that one day soon it would be true.

hi y’all !! i’m getting to my inbox messages , i promise , but i saw that it's been confirmed that logan and j*mes aren't on speaking terms , and that's genuinely insane to me . and yes i will be censoring his name from now on because i am pissed off !!!

especially considering how chipper j*mes has been recently , piping up on logan's radio as often as he can to tell him how wonderful he's doing after that article . i'm not saying it isn't true ; it's been confirmed by marcus ericsson on the swedish podcast viaplay F1 .

i personally find it ridiculous to see that a team principal is no longer speaking with his own driver . that , for whatever reason , he dislikes logan so much that it's lead to this . and the mistreatment of logan will continue . just wait until we find out in two weeks that alex's new teammate isn't logan , and better yet logan might even be replaced after the summer break . it's absolute heinous for him to be continuously treated this way , and it's absolutely infuriating . to see logan continue to be treated like this makes my blood boil . i genuinely am beginning to believe that they only kept logan on the team because of the fanbase and american sponsors he brought in . and to think that could be true is actually insane . it's incredible to me that a team principal can be so conceited that this is what his relationship looks like with a driver . that he only speaks to him and is kind for pr reasons , as we've clearly seen . and it makes me both so sad and so pissed off for logan . he genuinely deserves SO MUCH better .

the quote from the podcast , as has been translated to english , is as follows:

"I was also told this weekend by some American friends who know Sargeant that it is... He doesn't have fun in that team either. He thinks it's really hard and apparently so are he and James Vowles. They don't even talk to each other, it's hardly that they greet each other. There has been a complete disconnection between them."

please excuse any errors that may have transpired through translation ; i don't know swedish and had to use an online translator !

here is a link to a twitter post where the quote above is said (again , in swedish): https://x.com/F1_Tracktion/status/1815802308208254998

if anyone speaks swedish and can better translate the quote , please do ! it would be greatly appreciated so i can update the translation and i'll be sure to credit you for it !!💓

Orange-toned children v simulation games. I'm not convinced Cream's characters are making it out of the creation step. I think she thinks that's where the game ends.

Maybe unpopular opinion but I actually really loved Zane and his relationship with Rikki. I love how he wasn’t a typical “bad boy” and they gave him such a great character arc especially in season 2. You can tell he’s messed up but he did genuinely care for her in the end. Then season 3 ruined my life thanks for that

Remi and Swimming

Why can’t Remi swim?

That’s a genuine question. Why does Remi, at seventeen years old, not know how to swim?

After some quick research, I found that being unable to swim is actually way more common than I thought. Still, I want to speculate on Remi’s reason.

The Red Cross lists fear as the top reason people cited for not learning to swim. Other reasons I can think of for not learning to swim are: couldn’t afford lessons, didn’t live near a pool or body of water, disability, or simply never made time to learn.

However, in Remi’s case, I think it’s much more likely because of her ability than anything else.

It could be because her parents wanted to wait until she had better control of her ability before putting her in water with other kids. This of course, raises the question of why she didn’t learn before her ability developed. It could also be that someone in her family had an incident in the water, and the family was very cautious after that.

I personally like to believe that Rei had an ability-related incident when Remi was quite young, and her parents wanted to keep Rei out of the water until he could control his ability better. Because it would be mean to take Remi swimming and make Rei stay behind or on land, Remi’s lessons got put off indefinitely until they were forgotten about.

Of course, this scenario also means that Rei never finished learning to swim either.

I also like the idea that their mom was the one who had a swimming accident, and was somewhat traumatized by it and therefore extremely paranoid about putting her kids in the water. This explanation would also mean that Rei probably couldn’t swim.

I will now kindly place here for my own enjoyment, a reminder that Blyke was the one who taught Remi to swim and it was cute as fuck:
