It's almost like no one noticed he was gone.

...yeah, why did he even ask.

Anyway! Can he find frat people?

Yeah, loads. When he steps outside, a wet Doyoon wearing a swimsuit tackles him with a one-armed hug. "Here's my man! Where were you?"

"In the bathroom."

"Come on, get in the pool!"

The pool which is currently completely filled with people right?

How'd he guess?

Mrrrrr.

"I have an alternative idea: how about we go see if the gym pool is available and go there instead?"

"Sure!"

"...why?"

"I don't like pools that have too many people in them."

"Oh. Huh."

He supposes Doyoon wasn't near him when he mentioned this on Sunday and also he might not even remember that kind of preference that's unfair, other people have shown pretty good ability to keep track of preferences like that before.

Anyway uhhhh he's a little bit intimidated by Lucas so why doesn't he go look for one of the twins instead?

Eric is over there by the jacuzzi chatting to some people hanging out inside out and eating a sandwich. He seems to have ditched the shirt.

Is that guy always eating? Also why is he shirtless that is a hate crime against Peter specifically it is in fact fine to find people physically attractive and he needs to get over his hangups.

Anyway. "Hey Eric," he says when he's close enough he doesn't have to shout to be heard.

"Hey Peter, hey Doyoon."

"Hi Eric."

"Is it alright if we use the pool downstairs?"

"Sure. Come on." He gives the people he was talking to a little wave and leads the way.

Oh cool Peter had been worried that Eric was just going to say "yeah go ahead" and then he'd have to look weird and overly bold to just go downstairs. His social instincts would all scream at him to not do that.
