Verdy smirked and enjoyed the kiss for as long as he could. And when Ritzi splashed him he grinned and flapped his wings and splashed him back. "Hehe, don't tempt me silly. And I think you're plenty sexy as you are. If you wanna fly any time I'll carry you handsome." As far as flying went though, right now they should be focusing on teaching him how to fly through the water. Hmm, what should he start by teaching him? Probably something simple that would help him with swimming. Backstroke maybe?

Ritzi giggles and shake his fur so he could splash some more water on you. * He he I tempt you when I want to. And sure I would love to take a fly around school sometimes to see it from another look. My dad hat try to make me skydiving. But I have always been really nervous about it. * She smiled at him. He was so ready to learn how to swim faster. Maybe he could beat Verdy in the last round

"Hehe, alright maybe tomorrow we can go flying. Right now I'm going to teach you the backstroke and breaststroke, maybe the butterfly too. So first watch me, then see if you can copy it, and I'll let you know what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong. Sound good?" And he'd have to try not to use his wings and tail as much as he could. Ritzi didn't have those advantages like he did so he had to show him how to swim without them. "Just like this."

Ritzi lay down on his breast and try to do it like he did. He was doing a good job nut a little bit hard to hold his head up over the water and try not to get water don't in his lounge.* am I doing a good job so far?* He find it a little bit hard to use the paws and feet on the same time doing the same move so he could go faster. Well if he was use to do dog swimming it could be hard to do any other swim type

"Looking pretty good. Could be better but that's a good start. You want to practice it more or you want to try the backstroke instead? It's a little better if you need to kind of take a rest, heh, at least less chance to gulp down some water." And from everything he'd practiced it was one of the easier moves to learn. Verdy was tempted to give him a few kisses or tease him with his tail.

Ritzi smiled and lay on his back and try to do that. It was much more relaxing this way to do it. He was closing his eyes and relax as he did so much better .* This is more nice and I don't get water in my mouth so that is really good. And so relaxing* He close his eyes and really hope he did not hit his head to the end of the pool.

"Hehe, looking good. The only problem is you have to use your surroundings to see where you are. Looking to the side usually helps in the pool, try to find some sort of marker to know when you're close to the end." He looked so cute stretched out and relaxing in the water like that, Verdy smirked and snuck his way around to Ritzi's middle and kisses his stomach, then kept going around and kissed his paws. "Mmm, so cute."

Ritzi smiled at all the kiss he get form him. he begin to dive under the water and hugs him tail and kiss the tip of it. it was a different way to teas his dragon. It was also fun that he could like fly under water. He give his butt a little kiss before he come up behind him and jump on his back and hugs him and give him a kiss in his neck and his chin* You are cute too he he.

"Heh, and you're very creative in the water aren't you? Bet you couldn't pull a trick like that in bed. That's some pretty decent swimming though, which is good progress. Hehe, almost time for our little race then isn't it?" Having fun in the pool was nice and he had been able to teach Ritzi a few things but sooner or later it was going to get busy and he didn't want to have to explain to a whole swim team or gym group why they were kissing in the pool. He was still a little shy about announcing anything, especially if his soccer boyfriend suddenly returned and saw something going on.

Well sure thing but you have to think maybe I win* he smiled at him giving him a long toung kiss. Did not acutely care if the gym team or swim team was watching. Now he hat fun whit his boyfriend, and no one could ruin that. He give him a nice warm hug and splash some water on him whit his tail before he went to the end of the pool

The green dragon laughed and gave his little canine friend a few kisses before lining up at the end of the pool. "Shall we do a single line or to the other end and back here again? Make it a bit longer for more of a challenge?" And maybe a bit more fair. Verdy wasn't exactly going to be unhappy if anyone came in but he wouldn't want to share the pool with them and his little canine friend too.

*Well that sounds good swimming to the end and back. But you might get ready to loss.* She like to say things that make him look better than he really is. Well he could not blame him for doing that. a lot of people did that. Verdy did probably that too but he did not want to call him a lire just because of that. He was his boyfriend and they did have a good time together now.

"Well then I'll get ready to lose and look forward to winning handsome, hehe. Don't think I'll go easy on you either, it wouldn't be fair if I did." And he wouldn't cheat either, like trying to use his nice long tail to "trip up" Ritzi by grabbing an arm or leg or something. No, it was going to be a fair match because even if he did win by a huge amount it would give his little canine friend something to strive for, a goal to reach. And when he finally got to that goal and won the reward would be more than worth it. "So are you ready?"

*Yes I am ready* and he was having his paw on the side of the pool and was getting ready to push him so he could get a lot of speed. *3......2......1.......go* He set of and was almost getting a flying start. He would do some breast swimming because he could get a better look at where he was swimming.

This was really the only advantage that Verdy gave Ritzi, letting him do the count. Anyone doing the count themself had a chance to get at least a little jump start on their opponent. Verdy still started putting his best effort into swimming though, hoping to get caught up and take the lead. If he didn't get it now he might have a chance at the "turn" over at the opposite end of the pool. He had a bit of practice with it while Ritzi didn't really. Shame he couldn't talk or taunt him while he was swimming though.
