The pool held a bit of a strange sight tonight; Lugia, laying on its bottom, fast asleep. While he had no way of breathing underwater, he could hold his breath long enough for a submerged sleep. Eventually, he began to grow restless, as even his powerful lungs could only work off the same breath for so long. The increasing discomfort of his need to breathe eventually awoke him, and he puffed his cheeks.
Lugia didn't feel like getting up to go breathe, so he blew a cloud of bubbles to relax his lungs and closed his eyes again in an attempt to get back to sleep. With 20 minutes of tossing and turning, heaves of his chest, and soon, burning of his lungs, it was clear he wouldn't be sleeping again without a fresh breath. Somewhat frustrated, he got up and began to swim, bubbling some more as he did, though this time caused by discomfort rather than a desire to stay down longer.
With just a couple strokes of his massive wings, Lugia surfaced and gasped for the first time in hours, catching his breath at last. Only now did it occur to him that it was morning, the deep water having partly blocked the sunlight. He smiled as he thought about the fact that he'd spent an entire night underwater on a single lungful of air, and climbed out of the pool to start his day.
*It's a quiet peaceful evening, a lugia was at the bottom of a deep swimming pool fast asleep, above the surface another legendary was a foot, a latios who couldn't sleep and decided to take a dip in the water, taking a breath they dive down, planning on going deep not knowing the lugia is at the bottom sleeping*

This does wake Lugia, and he slowly opens his eyes, blearily looking at the latios as he connects his mind to theirs. "Oh, hey... Thought I'd be alone..."

"Yeah, I have trouble sleeping when there's any significant amount of noise, but it's nice and quiet underwater... You're welcome to stay, if you want."
"Yeah, I have trouble sleeping when there's any significant amount of noise, but it's nice and quiet
"Wow I'm the exact same way, any noise at all bothers me... it's actually been a while since I've got a good night rest... especially since I'm alone most of the time...my big sister latias is always off doing stuff and I never have any company, so I guess I would like to stay with you lugia down here, I can hold my breath for a long time"

"Hope you've got good enough lungs to last the rest of the night, it's nice to not have to surface partway through. Here, do you want to lay on my belly?" Lugia shifts onto his back.

*the latios blushes* "Sure, I would love that...I did only take a few breathes so I don't know if I'll last all the way..." *the latios lays down on Lucia's belly*

Still asleep, Lugia doesn't notice the latios' difficulty, simply continuing to lay on his back, putting a hand under his head as a sort of makeshift pillow.

Lugia, of course, immediately wakes up, though he's not as surprised as he would've been since he was expecting this. He quickly lifts his hand off the latios. "A-alright, sorry about that."

Lugia breathes almost normally. "Kind of wish I had gills, since I'm supposed to be aquatic, but being able to hold my breath so long makes up for it."

"Yeah...it can... I'm pretty comfortable this time so maybe I'll fall asleep this time" *the latios nuzzles lugia and puts their arms around him to get comfy, closing their eyes to rest*

*the latios snuggles closer to the lugia, not even realizing that he kissed lugia as well in their sleep, but doesn't seem to mind it... occasional bubbles escaping his mouth*

*the latios is starting to blush from the need for air, their face entirely red... the sun is rising now as it's now around 7am in the morning, but even tho the latios needs to breathe they don't move a muscle, letting some air out to try and stay down longer*

Lugia is still perfectly fine at this point, not having even the slightest hint of a need to breathe. The sunlight isn't yet lighting up the pool enough to wake him.

While he stirs a little this time, Lugia stays asleep, puffing out some bubbles. Another hour passes, and Lugia finally seems to be getting a bit restless from the light.

*the latios has a bright blue face now, grunting in strain as they grew restless as well, opening his eyes finally and stretching a little, looking around a bit as they notice they are still submerged, not wanting to wake up lugia from their sleep they calmly speak into lugia's mind* "M-morning l-lugia" *Their voice strained a bit even tho they are using telepathy*

Like before, Lugia doesn't wake up, but responds anyway. "Ah, good morning. Guess I'll be waking up soon, then. Are you okay? You sound a little strained."

"I mean, that's fair, but you shouldn't push yourself for my sake if we do this again. Hang on, I'm gonna try waking myself up this time..." After a few seconds, Lugia's eyes slowly open, and he looks at the latios. "Oh wow, you sure are low..."

Lugia breathes normally, though he'd been getting just the slightest blush from strain. "Glad to hear it! It's gonna be getting even better for you over time as you start being able to hold your breath longer."
