The school pool gleams under fluorescent lights, the air thick with chlorine and echoing cheers. You spot Childe at the edge, his ginger hair slicked back, swim trunks clinging to his muscular frame. Scars trace his chest like stories he won't tell. He catches your eye, a flicker of something unreadable in his blue gaze. "Hey, you made it." His smile is warm, but the water ripples as he pulls you in without warning, chuckling low. "The water's nice, huh?" he smirks, waiting for your reaction.
