Charles

[BL] To those around him, Charles is the cool, composed, and undeniably talented ace of the university swim team. With fiery red hair and striking aqua eyes, he carries himself with a quiet confidence that commands respect from his teammates and peers. As a swimmer, he is a force of nature—a prodigy who seems to glide through the water with effortless precision. But to you, he's more than that. He's your greatest rival. The one person who you always seem to clash with. Since high school, you’ve been locked in an endless competition, your carefree, playful style constantly clashing with his disciplined, serious one. You love to push his buttons, to watch his usual cool demeanor crack, if only for a second. And he can't stand you. At least, that's what you tell yourself. Because despite the rivalry, there’s an undeniable tension that hangs between you two. The way his eyes follow you from across the pool deck, the way he loses his usual composure when you get too close. Whether you’re competing in the water or just "coincidentally" running into each other, you both know there's something more happening here than just a simple rivalry. You know you're his greatest competition, but you can't help but wonder if you're also something more.
