[ Slip on your swimsuit, grab your towel, put on a pair of sunglasses, and come on over— it's time for a pool party! Maybe you were invited by Jim, Victor or Lucy— they do have a bunch of friends, after all. Well, mostly Jim. What's that? You don't know any of them? Well, that's no problem! They've made sure to tell their friends they can invite whoever they want. Friends of friends, distant acquaintances, coworkers, what have you. All are welcome! There's a sweet as hell pool in their backyard now, a new addition to the house, so it's kind of like a debut. There's music playing, a wide range of styles that go from dance music to classical rock, and there are chairs, a covered seating area, and a few extra towels near the pathway to the pool just in case you forgot to bring your own. There are a bunch of floats both in the water and along the edge of the pool for everyone to help themselves to as they wish, and in addition to that there are a number of fun pool party games you can take up— water balloon fighting, balls available for some playful water polo, and whatever other game you can come up with. Feeling hungry or thirsty? Not a problem! There are several drinks and cocktails (anything alcoholic safely kept away from kids), and a bunch of snacks and sweets. To add to that, there's a nice barbecue set up near the grassy patch next to the pool, and a supply of ribs, burgers, sausages and corn is made available throughout the party. (Oh, and there's also a tiny porg and a water-loving dog.) So what are you waiting for? Come on in and have a blast! ]

[ Jim smiles to himself a little. ] He really is.

[ He's lost count of how many times Sheppard's saved his life so far. Well— maybe not lost count strictly speaking, but point is, he's been there for him practically ever since they met. Whether in dangerous situations, or when he just needed a shoulder to cry on (literally). And John the dog has had his back just as often too.

He glances back to Victor, tipping his head. ] You done with the barbecue yet?

[jolting]

Yeah, but you seemed to be enjoying the view. [He smiles knowingly] Unless you’re asking for a closer look?

[winscenario]

Mm, yes... a much closer look. [ He beckons Victor closer with a crooked finger, uncrossing his legs and patting his own lap. ] Get your cute butt over here.

[jolting]

[Victor laughs, gives him a "really?" sort of look. But then comes over anyway, draping the apron over a chair so their guests will know he's on a break before settling on James's lap]

[winscenario]

[ He grins in amusement too, but still does nothing to indicate he was joking— because he wasn't. He shifts so Victor can sit down on his lap as comfortably as possible, and he sets his drink down on the floor so he can wrap his arms loosely around Victor's waist. ]

Mm, that's much better. [ Puckering up his lips for a kiss. ]

[jolting]

[And of course Victor is glad to give him a kiss]

Hm. I knew this party was missing something.

[winscenario]

Yeah? And what's that— comfortable seating?

[ He means his lap, of course. ]

[jolting]

[He chuckles, brushing their noses together before giving James another kiss]

Exactly. Though we can't blame the chairs for not being as comfortable as you.

[winscenario]

True... and I'd say the same about you, but we both know how excited you tend to get when it's me sitting on your lap.

[ He winks at Victor, thinking back to a few of their encounters. ]

[jolting]

Are you saying that me being on your lap isn't exciting?

[winscenario]

Hey— no, I didn't say that. But I will be able to get up and walk away without any issues, is all I'm saying.

[ He's so going to pay for this later, isn't he. (He loves it.) ]

[jolting]

Huh. I don't know whether to be disappointed or to take that as a challenge. [He gives James a poke] Not while there are guests, of course.

[winscenario]

Please don't be disappointed, baby. [ He taps a finger against Victor's nose, smiling at him. ] I'd much rather you take it as a challenge. To answer to in the near future, of course.

[ He's keeping things very mild and innocent here, for obvious reasons. ]

[jolting]

[Of course he sees it more as a challenge] Count on it. As soon as we have alone time, I'll make sure that me being in your lap is very exciting.

[winscenario]

I'm getting a little excited about it already. [ He chuckles, tugging Victor closer. ]

Wanna go for a dip in the pool with me?

[jolting]

That was the idea.

Mmm, yeah, sure. [Of course he has to get off James's lap again, which he does with a smirk and moves toward the pool, guiding James along with him]

[winscenario]

[ Jim can't help laugh at that smirk, as he gets to his feet and follows after Victor towards the pool. He takes off his sunglasses and shirt and abandons them somewhere along the way, then rushes towards Victor and tries to sweep him up and throw them both into the pool. ]

[jolting]

[He had a feeling James was going to do something like that. He glances over his shoulder to make sure that there's no one in the way before jumping out of the way-- and into the pool. James's momentum will probably carry him in anyway.

He pops up, wiping water out of his face and waits for James to emerge]

[winscenario]

[ Jim's last sound before he submerged was a yelp, then he was diving in, water splashing a little all over. Thankfully there was no one else near the pool, so he didn't get anyone wet. When he broke the surface, he immediately leapt forward, trying to jump on Victor with a playful roar. ]

[jolting]

[Victor wasn't ready for that one, so James manages to pounce and send him back underwater. Victor automatically wraps his arms around the other so they both go down. When he emerges again, Victor is laughing]

[winscenario]

[ Jim still tries being a little careful, so Victor isn't caught too off-guard and ends up taking in water through his nose or something. Victor's laughter is enough to ease any worries before they even arise, though. ]

Serves you right! [ He laughs too, still sticking close with Victor's arms around him. In fact he wraps his own arms around Victor's neck, leaning in for a kiss. ]

[jolting]

Me? You were the one trying to throw me in the water. [Though he is clearly fine with this, and kisses James back]

But now that you've got me here, what would you like to do next?

[winscenario]

Well, you're in the water now, so I'm counting this as a win.

[ He beams happily, floating closer to Victor. ]

I don't know. We could just stay right here and do nothing. Or play a game, if you feel like it.

[jolting]

Hmmm. I think I'll just swim for a while.

[He turns over on his back to do just that, doing a few lazy backstrokes to propel away from James while still keeping eyes on him. He's not a great swimmer for someone who lived in a seaside town for years, but he's not terrible either]

[winscenario]

[ He smiles while watching Victor swim away, and a few seconds later he swims lazily after him. Not quite chasing him or anything, but he does want to enjoy the pool with him, and stick close by for a while. The pool also happens to be empty right now, so he'll take full advantage of that. ]
