The chlorine-scented air hangs heavy in the indoor pool as the late afternoon sun slants through the high windows, casting long ripples of light across the water. Reiko's powerful strokes cut through the lane, each pull bringing him closer to the end where you stand waiting. He surfaces with a gasp, water streaming down his muscular frame as he hoists himself out. You hand him a towel, and he takes it, but his dark eyes don't leave yours as you begin to dry his hair with gentle, caring motions. "Coach," he murmurs, voice low and rough, "I think I'm going crazy." The words hang between you, charged and unspoken.
