Neco was glad to be out of the he a t. So glad that Colette was here and swimming in his pool. So glad that he had completely zoned out, letting the water do its thing. He heard a gentle sploosh, but thought nothing of it. He was just so full and comfortable... he let his thoughts trail off into nothing as he closed his eyes in peace. Peace that did not last long. A harsh but ticklish jab to his sides had him bark out a solid belly laugh. He immediately rolled over in the water, eyes scanning it as he looked for her. As soon as she popped up he huffed loudly and rolled his eyes.

The notion however, still left his face heated, a soft pink blush making its way to his cheeks. Putting it off as the heat, he immediately defended himself, "I didn't laugh because it's ticklish, you caught me off guard." he said, trying to cover up his tracks. A devilish smile grew and he stretched his arms outward, putting his palms in the water and then pushing forward with all his might, effectively making a wave and hitting her with it. "Ha!"

Bleh short sorry qwq

Reaching the surface, she immediately wiped the water out of her eyes to see his reaction. The look on his face was priceless and it looked like he needed to invest in some acting lessons. Neco's, I wasn't fazed, attitude wasn't convincing anybody. Colette couldn't help but chuckle at the small amount of blush going over his cheeks.

"Uh-huh. I completely and totally believe you," Colette teased. Her lips pursed into a pouty face while her arms crossed across her chest. In the midst of teasing him, she must have missed something because the next thing she saw was water being splashed on her. This time, it was clearly on purpose if Neco's expression meant anything.

"Eeep!" Blinking the water out of her eyes and wiping furiously at her face, Colette's eyes locked onto his. "Oh, it's on," she taunted with a smirk. Pushing her own waves of water at him a few times, she ducked underwater to try and avoid his next attempts. And perhaps to try and swim behind him for a sneak attack.
