Summary:
“Say Qifrey…” Olly rests his crossed arms on the bank. “You don’t know how to swim, right?”
Qifrey jolts in place as if struck, pen falling from his grasp. Olruggio surely knows he doesn’t, having saved Qifrey from drowning the first time they met. He also knows how much he loathes water; loathes the sensation of being wet so much he must be coaxed like a feral animal to the baths each week—bribed with the promise of baked goods and adventures—just to keep him from roaming the Great Hall looking like an unkempt vagabond. With Olruggio taking over the task of washing his hair for him as he shudders through it.
Qifrey frowns deeply, not meeting his eye. “…No.”
–
On a summer day out, Olruggio tries to teach Qifrey how to swim.

Hellooooo first WHA fic lfgggggg~~~
As you can see I have lost my entire damn mind over this manga!! Genuinely I have never started writing fic this fast after getting up to speed on canon!! What!!!
Anyway, very much more to come because I planned a follow up to this fic before I had even halfway finished it, lol. So subscribe to the series if you’re interested.
In this one: teenage boys being boys (affectionate), summertime cuteness, and me keeping Qifrey in a limbo state of fear and joy. Sorry babe! That’s your life!!
Please enjoy <3<3
