Alfred swam up to the surface, admiring the dazzling sun until he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Jones?"

Alfred turned, his face turning to a scowl. "Hi, Ivan."

Ivan was in his boat, apparently he had a boat, he told Alfred about it once. It wasn't huge, it was just a purple kayak.

Ivan cocked his head to the side. "I haven't seen you since last week. Where have you been?"

Alfred frowned. "And you care why?"

Hurt momentarily showed on Ivan's face, before disappearing as quick as it came. Alfred barely noticed.

"Jones... um, look, your brothers seem to be worried about you. Where have you been?"

Alfred's response shocked the Russian.

He laughed. "Good one, Ivan. I'll believe that when I see it, look, I gotta go, see you around?"

Ivan's face flushed automatically. Alfred wanted him to come back??

Alfred smiled, turning back to the ocean and jumping back like a dolphin, giving Ivan a chance to see his glimmering blue tail.
