Francis didn't frequent the pool often. Actually, physical exercise was not his forte. Other than running at a decent pace for an hour, the Frenchman did little else to keep his body as trim as it was.

Lately, he'd let himself go a little. He looked fuller, though no less attractive to his standards. Women still flirted with him, so he knew he was still in the clear. Yet, his face was always so sullen, eyes dark despite their blue, pure quality.

Arthur. He was still so heavy hearted...because of that Englishman.

But things were turning up. He felt like he was moving on...so to speak. And so, in an attempt to regain his former physique, he headed to the pool to swim.

After quickly changing out, he came out onto the pooldeck only to notice the grumpy Italian. Oh how cute. The Frenchman slipped in and made his way over to his co-worker.

"Allo, Lovino," he said, smile on his face. "Good day, isn't it?"

[lovino_vargas]

Lovino hadn't quite swam to the other side of the pool when he heard another slip in behind him. As he turned, he heard an all too familiar voice. Tch, the damn Frenchie must have been stalking him (this was how he saw it, anyway). Certainly not wanting to thwart the purpose of his visit, relaxation, Lovino kept himself at a certain distance and tried his best not to sound angry.

"Yeah, it's, uh, it's okay I guess." He could deal with this bastard. "You swim after work often?" But obviously, he was fidgeting. He was alone in a pool with Francis, after all.

[french_for_fame]

Francis, of course, sensed the hostility. He had seen enough with Arthur to understand this type of person.

He inched closer. "I don't swim often, non. But today..." he looked off, mind wandering back to the man he'd just lost, "today, I feel differently about swimming at work. And, my luck! I found you here too. I suppose God shines down on me as well."

His hand moved to his golden hair, playing with the bouncy locks. His hair. His pride.

Francis smiled. "What are you doing here, though? Do you swim often? If so, I'd come down here more often!" Yes, flirting. That was what he did best. His blue eyes seemed less grave when he spoke to the Italian and, perhaps, there was a glint of light that caught his eye. They looked...bright, happy. But the bearded man had no idea that he might, for once in a long while, actually be enjoying himself.

[lovino_vargas]

For the most part, Francis seemed to be behaving, even considering the flirting Lovino most certainly caught and 'tch'ed at. The man seemed happy. Probably planning on a booty call tonight or some such shit, Lovino thought. Lovino's ideas of happiness for the Frenchman were probably slanted and based solely on his experiences with him, so of course he immediately assumed something like a one night stand. He felt sorry for whomever the poor woman (or man, Lovino remedied in his mind) would be.

"Psh, anyone else would consider themselves cursed to be stuck in a room with me." He lied, mostly to himself. "I'm swimming, obviously." There was an added edge to his response that suggested he didn't want to further indulge Francis with his reasons for swimming. Lovino merely tucked his wet bangs behind his ear in a haughty fashion. That single unruly curl was still standing free from the rest of his hair, though sagging some because of the water weight.

Feliciano padded into the locker room to change, certain he was alone. He hadn't wanted to say anything to his brother, but ever since the two had moved in together, he felt like he had started getting a little on the round side. All that good Italian cooking, and Lovino was good at that, even if he seemed kind of down on himself about... well, everything lately. And he didn't want to get too pudgy, if he got fat the ladies would be grossed out by him, and he didn't want that! No, no, that couldn't happen, he was supposed to be cute and sweet and lovable. So it was time to hit the gym, and while he'd been looking up diet tips that day while slacking off from work he'd noticed something saying swimming was a good way to exercise.

Quietly, he slunk out of the locker room, his clothes stuffed into a locker with the mostly-empty case he carried about, and stared out over the pool, a little dismal about this whole diet thing but willing to try if it meant he could attract ladies.

BROTHERRRRRRR /TACKLES

[lovino_vargas]

Lovino had been submerged when Feliciano had come into the swimming area, so he hadn't heard the doors opening or closing. Even when he came up for air, he was facing a completely different direction, so he was completely unaware. And in his state of unawareness, he felt he could freely talk about anything and everything on his mind.

"Fuckin' cold water, why can't it be warm, motherfuckin' piece of sh--- god damn it, I'm doing it again!" He hit the surface of the water hard enough to quell his frustration, but even though he thought he was alone, he still felt stupid. "Why does everything piss me off..." His voice trailed off as he looked at his reflection in the water, searching for answers there.

FRATELLOOOOOOO /SNUGS

[pastaitalia]

Oh crap! Feliciano ducked back behind a chair, as much as he could- he didn't want Lovino to see him here, then he'd start asking questions and that would make things odd and he didn't want to go home to awkward. Maybe it'd be best to just leave this new exercise program until tomorrow, when he wasn't going to run into big brother in a bad mood...

Or he could just hide back here and keep his mouth shut and try to figure out why brother seemed so upset. Yeah, he liked that idea.

/keeps forever FRATELLINOOOO ;O;

[lovino_vargas]

Lovino felt an odd breeze. A chill on the back of his neck. Whatever it really was, it was the reason he turned around, towards the chairs and entrance. It wasn't hard to see the form of a nervous Italian trying in vain to hide himself. The older brother's face grew hot upon the realization. D-Did he hear me berating myself?! Agh..."

He tried to keep a calm tone, despite his growing embarassment.

"You know, I can see your feet under the chair, Feli."

[aph_vietnam]

What a night! To think she was able to persuade herself to do something that would actually relax her for once. But it was about time she did something good for her physical body, for her back has been getting stiff from hard labor. Mỹ Linh did ask for it, though. It was not like she had anyone else to blame but herself. It was a condition she brought upon herself.

Swimming at night, though, sounded odd to her. It sounded ridiculous at first, honestly.

Yet she still found herself in the premise of Nationcorp's pool deck, sporting in a thin white jacket, a red two-piece bikini, and some black flip flops. Mỹ Linh walked over to the pool with an arm bent, holding on to the other arm's forearm.

"Ah?" She did not realize that someone else was around, crazy enough to swim at night. A bit timidly, she approached the water and then took a seat on the edge. "Hmm, may I come in?" Not like she asked permission to actually acknowledge it. She just felt like she should say it and intended to go in anyway.

[lovino_vargas]

Lovino had just surfaced from the water near where the woman had sat on the edge. Obviously, he hadn't expected the view upon coming up for air. Gorgeous legs were the first thing to greet him. He flushed, sputtering a few seconds before responding to his impromptu night-swim companion.

"A-ah! I didn't know anyone else would be here. Go ahead, the water's a little cold but.." He trailed off, having to look away from the bella donna. She probably wouldn't appreciate his staring. He turned away and splashed some water to no one in the large pool. "You can just pretend I'm not here or somethin'."

[aph_vietnam]

Mỹ Linh blinked before smirking at the other's flustered expression. Lovino should be his name. He seemed cute in a way that made her want to hug him~ Reality is, it would be a little hard to ignore someone in the pool, right? A bit hesitant at first, she took off her jacket and let it lie in a bundle.

She dipped in a bit gracefully, feeling the shiver against her stomach. "Oh it's... really cold." She shivered a bit and then sighed. Ugh, she hated cold. It made her miss the humid warmth of her home country. Damn New York is way too cold to like.

"Are you just here to relax?" She asked bluntly as she sunk a bit lower in the shallow area, enough to sit.

[lovino_vargas]

He heard her slip into the water and turned to face her, that being only polite. At least now he wasn't going to accidentally stare forever at her legs He took the moment to really take in the features of her face. Really, this company had a lot of beautiful women! It was one of the things that made it worthwhile to stay.

"...yes. Just needed to clear my head some, you know?" He gave her an awkward smile, dripping with Italian charm. Just about then, he realized he didn't know her name or where she worked in the company. "You work here too, right? What department?"

[pyramidandsand]

How fortunate to work for a company with such impressive facilities. He smiled inwardly and entered the locker room. He began to change, glancing around to see if anyone was watching him. For some reason, he always felt uncomfortable in places like this. Exposed and vulnerable. He cautiously pulled on his swim trunks, decorated with pyramid designs. Tacky,yes; but they were a gift from his mother.

He did feel a touch uncomfortable without his headdress but he tried to convince himself that swimming in it would be a touch odd. He looked about the pool and took a tentative step. He noticed someone in the pool. "Ah.....hello, I did not know someone else was here."

lmfao he totally wouldn't recognize Gupta without the headdress |D

[lovino_vargas]

The water was clear. Clear and beautiful. If not for the cold, Lovino would say it was perfect. But a mere swimming pool could never compare to running free and wild on the southern beaches of his home country. Italia was like an ex-girlfriend that had kept all the money, and Lovino dearly wished to meet her again, not just for the money, but for the laughter they shared as well.

It was this train of thought that was interrupted as Lovino was floating on his back in the pool, the sound of another person in the cavernous room filling his ears and bringing him from his reverie.

"...Mmhmm. Just taking the time to relax, don't mind me." He glanced over at the owner of the voice... and didn't quite recognize the person. Yet at the same time, he seemed really familiar. Odd.

[pyramidandsand]

"Ah, if you wish, sir." he replied standing at the edge of the pool. "I do not wish to disturb you."

Gupta was hoping for a moment's repose. To gather his thoughts in a solitary moment. Such things seemed fleeting here; everywhere seemed to teem with life, buzzing and chattering.

He sat on the edge of the pool and offered a small expression of curiosity."I must admit I haven't swum much since I was at home,so I am most anxious"

He stuck his toes in. It was cold,causing his skin to tingle and pimple from the cold. Maybe this was a bad idea.
