him yet.
    Thor chuckled. “I don’t know, when you say it like that and sound all... like you’ve just had sex, it’s quite the turn on.” Thor kissed his forehead. “Seriously though, Paul... I hope I’m not being an ass when I tell you that you’re the first person I’ve picked up in a long time who I’ve been interested in seeing again.”
    “Yeah?” He let himself grin, let himself hope, just a little. “I’d like that. I’d like to know you, be your friend.”
    “Cool.” Thor chuckled. “After all -- I still have to convince you about the whole submerging in water thing.”
    He shuddered and shook his head, grin spreading. “Not a chance, coach. Blind guys and water don’t mix.”
    Thor’s chuckles turned into laughter. “Well there, we’ve got something to keep seeing each other for -- I’m not going to rest until I’ve got you in the water and made you enjoy it.”
    “Hope you enjoy long-term relationships.” Paul ran his fingers along Thor’s ribs, tickling.
    “Can’t say as I’ve ever had anything I’d call long-term aside from family.” Thor shook his head. “Oh, man, that makes me sound fickle.”
    “How about we start with breakfast and go from there, ‘o fickle one?” He tilted his head for a kiss. “I’ll buy your coffee, you buy my tea.”
    “As long as we go Dutch on the pancakes.” Thor’s mouth closed over his, lips wide and warm and soft. He smiled into the kiss, curling close. He could handle that. In fact, right this minute, Paul thought there wasn’t much he couldn’t handle.
    Amazing what waking up with the right man could do for your day.
    Chapter Four
    The taxi let Paul off in front of the Swimming Center and it didn’t take him long to find his way up the steep stairs and into a building that smelled of chlorine. He’d finished his voice-overs early and had left a message that he’d just meet Thor here.
    It was about time that he started meeting Thor halfway.
    The last few weeks had been fabulous -- they had gone dancing, gone to dinner, showered and slept and played and touched and tasted and... yeah. Fabulous. This weekend was the first after the test results had come back clear, the first where he’d come to Thor.
    “Can I help you?”
    He smiled, nodding at the soft, nervous voice. “Coach Sorenson’s office, please?”
    “It’s just a couple doors down, but he isn’t in. He’s on deck. You want me to take you to him?”
    “Yes, please, if it’s not a problem.” Deck? Undoubtedly the pool, which meant water, but also meant nearly naked Thor, which made up for the worry.
    He could hear the girl get up off her chair. “You uh... want me to help you?”
    “I’ll hold your elbow and you lead, if you don’t mind. I promise not to bite.” He chuckled along with the girl and then his hand was placed on a soft upper arm and they began to walk.
    “He’s usually done by now, but it’s early in the semester and he’s laying down the law with the swim team. Extra laps and stuff so they think he’s tough. ‘Cause he doesn’t look tough, you know? Oh... well I guess you wouldn’t, but he doesn’t, he’s a head shorter than pretty much all the team and he’s pretty young for a coach. Rumor has it he got the job because his dad was a lifetime professor here, but if you’ve seen him swim, you’d know that was just hooey, ‘cause he’s really, really good.” She paused to take a breath.
    “Are you a swimmer, too?” Sounded like maybe he wasn’t the only one admiring a certain swim coach.
    Their footsteps echoed as they neared the water, disorienting him slightly, making him tense and uncomfortable.
    He felt her nod. “Oh, god, I’m sorry. Yes. I’m a lifeguard actually. They pull us from the locals -- don’t want the paying college kids wasting their time life guarding.” He could hear the disdain in her voice.
    “Hey Thor, your friend is here.”
    “Paul!” Thor sounded pleased to see him. “Okay, everyone, five more laps
