[align=center][div style="width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4; color: #333; word-spacing: 1px;"]when freddie invited him to go swimming , beau had just rolled his eyes and given him a maybe . they both knew he was probably going to show up , out of boredom or lack of ability to fall asleep or , most likely , both . he hadn't planned on sleeping much on this trip , anyway , but he had planned on mostly sticking to himself . he needed to think , and , usually , when he found himself alone in a nice outdoor place like their campsite , he could think a little clearer without interruption .
but as much as he needed to sit down and think , and probably talk to his siblings , he would much rather push it all off and have a little swim . he liked to face most of his problems head-on ( sometimes literally head-on ) , but the problems he was trying to sort through and talk about were problems he'd much rather save for a later date , even though he knew it would get worse and worse as time went on .
with procrastination and running from his problems in mind , he pushed himself up from where he lied next to his tent , and he followed after freddie to the lake .
he cocked a brow at the other blond's inquiry , and then rolled his eyes and scoffed at the answer . skinny-dipping was fun , mostly because he didn't have to wait for his clothes to dry afterwards if he hadn't brought any swimming wear -- but that probably would have been a little awkward for anyone else who decided to join them . not that he much cared about the other adults seeing him , but there were kids here .
" come on in ! the water's great . "
beau didn't need to be told twice . he quickly shed off his shirt , shoes and socks , a grin spreading across his face as he jogged to the edge of the water , and quickly and fluidly moved deeper . the water wasn't too cold , but the chill it gave him was a welcomed one . he delved under the water for a few seconds before popping his head back above the water , playfully swatting a hand through the water to splash freddie .
