Rikki had invited her friend's Octavian and Rachel Elizabeth Dare over for a pool party/cook out. I spent an hour trying to get Nico into swimming trunks and drag him outside. They were black and had little skulls on them! He was totally adorable.

Octavian was showing off at the diving bored. He had some talent. Plus a sexily muscular body. Nico growled and elbowed me when he caught me staring. Oh, so now he is the jealous type? I gave him a peck on the cheek and he punched my gut. Damn, for someone with hardly any muscles, he could really pack a punch!

I jumped in the water and rested my chin on the edge where Nico sat with his legs in the water. He was tracing circles in the water with his finger.

"Come in. I need someone to spot this new stunt I have been working on." I tried to get him in. He shook his head. "Swimming is great for your body. It cools you down in awful heat, like today and keeps your body moving; which builds up muscles." He shook his head again, avoiding eye contact. It gently tried to pull him in and he snapped.

"I SAID NO!!! Damn it Will, do you not speak English?!" Ouch. He saw my hurt and slowly calmed himself. "I'm sorry..." A little quieter he adds, "I can't swim." Aww... Now I feel bad. My poor grumpy puppy can't doggy paddle and I tried to throw him in the deep end. I had to do something to make up for it.

"I will teach you."

"I don't really like water..."

"I know, I know... It's not your type."

His eyes widen and he blushed. Then smirked, "But, the heat never bothered me..." Aww. I wuvs hims!

"Good! Now come on. You can trust me." Slowly, with my help, he lowered himself into the pool. He gripped both the side and my shoulder as if his life depended on it. He could touch the bottom if he stood on his tippy toes... Aww! I so want to see that! "Ok. First you need to learn to tread." I pulled him away from the edge and he immediately throw both his arms around my neck and clung to me. I could get so use to this... at this point I was debating whether to teach him or to just hold him. "Nico, you can touch the ground it's okay." He let go and blushed deeply. I showed him how to tread water and he picked up on it after about fifteen minutes. He was a really slow learner and he didn't fully trust me.

"Hey Will, can you come help for a second?" Rachel called from the grill. Her and Octavian were cooking since Rikki had to watch the kids.

"Stay in the shallow end and keep practicing." I pecked his cheek again and he growled. I got out before he could punch me.

"What is it RED?"

"I need you to go with Oct and get some charcoal. It's in the garage."

"Okay!" I hooked arms with Octavian who growled even louder than Nico and dragged him off to the garage.

"Ah. Here we are." I started to lift the bag and he helped. We tried to get out of the garage but the door would lift. We tried going through the other door but there was no such luck. We set the bag down.

"D-damn. We'll die of hypothermia before anyone notices we are gone." I was already shaking. Antonio, the metal dragon, came and sat by me. Octavian did the same. He was cold but trying not to show any sign of weakness.

"We're never getting out of here!" The dragon started wailing. "I wish I would have proposed to Rikki-pumpkins sooner!"

"Shut up! Someone just needs to unlock the door from the outside." Octavian rolled his eyes.

"No. He has a point. The chances of us dying or developing a sever illness before someone comes is 56 percentage."

"Oh..." The room fell silent.

"If I could have lived my life differently, I would have saved more people's lives." I recounted the many lives I was unable to save. At this point my jaw was clattering from cold. Octavian pulled me close.

"I would have been kinder..." Aww. That's adorable. He is a big bully with even bigger regrets! AND EVEN BIGGER ABS!!! Damn though, he chuckled as I ran my hand over them.

"Ha, like what you see?" I nodded. He pulled me into his lap.

"Good." His nose nuzzled into my neck and his warm breath sent shivers down my spine.

"O-Octav-" He started to kiss my neck. "W-what are you-" My sentence was cut short by his lips clashing with mine. It let out a whimper which was the wrong move. Going all to fast, he lowered me onto the floor, pinning me down. "Stop. What are you doing?" He pulled down my swim trunks, using his teeth. I was hard, but not liking this, only because didn't have much immunity. I had never experienced anything like this. Nico was my first kiss.... oh, Nico. He took my whole member into his mouth which sent my body a warmth. I tried to kick and hit him but the struggle was worthless. He continued, going deeper and harder

Suddenly the door flung open. "I have been-... Will?..." Nico stood there and before I could protest, he crossed his arms and glared coldly before leaving.

"Oct-Octavian!" I pushed him off me, pulled up my swimming trunks, and ran up stairs. I tried to run after Nico but slipped and fell. I started crying, feeling violated and alone.

A/N: Sorry guys. I also had a hard time writing this since I love Octavian and I didn't want to make him seem bad. But, yeah....
