[ Majima was maintaining a kind of underwater walking gait, though of course his paws never hit the sand beneath. ]

Right. For now, just try and get used to what it feels like, movin' underwater. You can look at what I'm doin' with my legs, too.

[ Now that Tim had something he could hold onto without sinking, and that was... half the battle? A quarter of the battle? It was probably important to not be completely terrified of drowning, anyway.

And since Tim was right there, he'd succumb to the urge to nuzzle the guy. There was no escape... ]

[Tim felt a little ridiculous, clinging to his wolf boyfriend in waist-deep water while he tried to do the most awkward cow version of a doggy paddle. And, like, try not to strangle the poor guy every time a swell bobbed them in the water, even if the water wasn't terribly rough.]

[The nuzzles were nice, though. Tim would never refuse affection from his very favorite wolfman.]

God, I feel like an idiot.

[At least he could admit it. Here he was, theoretically an Adult, clinging to his boyfriend because he didn't know how to do what was apparently a basic skill for everyone else.]

This is supposed to be easy, right?

Hey, don't look at it like that.

[ Easy for Majima to say, right? He picked up a lot of skills at a rate that might be deemed 'infuriating'. ]

There's a reason people have to take lessons -- takes 'em weeks to get good at it.

[ Okay, granted, not solid weeks, more like a couple days a week spread out during the summer, but ]

If ya get a chance, you can try to paddle with your free hand, too. Make sure ya keep your fingers together, and it'll be a lot easier to pull yourself forward.

[ Actually... in this instance, Tim's big old hands would likely be an asset. More surface area, right? ]
