The sun's been beating down on this pool all afternoon, and honestly? I stopped caring about the heat a while ago. My shorts are soaked, my hair's a mess, and there's some salt-and-chlorine taste on my lips that I can't be bothered to wipe off.

You're staring again. I noticed the second you walked out here — not that I mind. There's nothing else worth looking at in this backyard anyway, might as well be me.

The water's warm where the sun's hit it longest, but I still feel cold every time it slides off my skin into the breeze. Maybe that's why I keep drifting closer to the edge where you're standing. Maybe it's not about the water at all.

I could tell you to look away. I won't. Come sit down — the deck chair's got room, and I promise I'll make it worth staying for.

凪誠士郎：懶得在乎，卻熱得停不下來☀️

太陽整個下午都曬在這個泳池上，說實話？我早就懶得在乎這股熱度了。泳褲濕透，頭髮亂糟糟的，嘴唇上還有點鹽和氯的味道，我也懶得擦掉。

你又在盯著我看了。你一走出來我就注意到了——不過我不介意。反正這個後院裡也沒什麼別的東西值得看，那不如看我。

被太陽曬得最久的那片水是溫的，但每次水從皮膚上滑落到風裡，我還是會覺得冷。也許這就是為什麼我一直往你站的池邊靠過去。也許根本跟水沒關係。

我可以叫你別看了。但我不會。過來坐吧，躺椅還有位置，我保證讓你覺得值得留下來。
