Trying to overcome my fear of water! Will this date end in a disaster?
Who: Neris and Otacon
What: A date by the lake where the Kraken might be this will not end in a disaster at all.
When: April 20th
Warnings: DROWNING.
Hal Emmerich had a terrible history with bodies of water. They terrified him unless they were confined in small spaces such as evening showers. The family swimming pool had once claimed the life of his father and nearly his step-sister. That history had forever tarnished his outview on life in colors of grey, and he blamed himself fully for the incident, never to see swimming as a recreational sport since then. If only she had not...if only he had not...
It made loving someone hard again, yet, bit by bit, Neris had at the very least managed to make Otacon a tiny bit braver. Perhaps not big enough to move entire hills but as he now stared at the fragile boat, holding out store-bought cookies, drinks and snacks, he began to wonder just what had pushed him to select a date like this.
Oh right. It was romantic. He wanted to do something romantic. Lakes and boats were very romantic, right? Alright. Deep breath. This was going to be fine. This was going to be fine...
