I never really thought about underwater much at all, except in the sense of like, 'if my wings get waterlogged I'll sink and drown' general caution.

[tothosewhobait]

[Reaching up, smoothing the other man's hair out of his face]

I have about the same caution around the air. So, we're even at least.

[doublefried]

Oh yeah, I guess that does make sense. They're kind of opposites after all.

[tothosewhobait]

[Hums in agreement, playing with the ends of his hair]

I'm not very good at my flying lessons, if I'm being honest.

[doublefried]

Didn't you just recently figure out walking? I have wings and even I didn't fly until I was like eight.

[tothosewhobait]

...I don't want to feel like I'm behind the others. Just because legs are fairly new to me, I don't wish to accept a lower bar.

[doublefried]

Oh, for sure. You don't seem the type to just accept an excuse, even if it's a valid one...

[tothosewhobait]

I don’t mind a bit of hard work.

[doublefried]

But don't be too down on yourself! You're still learning so you're not going to be an expert just yet.

[tothosewhobait]

I don’t think I’ll have to worry about being an expert for a while at my rate…

[doublefried]

You'll probably get it before I get good at swimming.

[tothosewhobait]

Would you like to make a bet then?

[doublefried]

A bet?

[tothosewhobait]

Yes. About who can learn to swim or fly properly soonest.

[doublefried]

Maybe? What would the winner get?

[tothosewhobait]

Well...what is a prize you would enjoy?

[doublefried]

Normally I'd say 'loser buys the winner dinner' but there's no buying stuff here.

[tothosewhobait]

Mmmm...I could cook for you?

[doublefried]

[ PERKS UP then settles down ]

Oh... I can't cook so that couldn't be my end of the bet.

[tothosewhobait]

And if I win...I want a kiss.

[doublefried]

That I can definitely do.

[tothosewhobait]

Then we have a bet.

[doublefried]

It's a win/win scenario for me, but I'll still do my best!

[tothosewhobait]

What a coincidence, it's win/win for me as well.

[doublefried]

And there's nothing stopping me from kissing you anyway if I win.
