[ The only reason Lea hadn't immediately been able to kick back to the surface is that without air in his lungs at all, he's less buoyant than he would have expected to be, and the bubble jets in the hot tub disoriented him once his head was below water.

He feels arms go around his chest and reflexively stops struggling, feels impact, hands, and then his head breaks the surface and he heaves for air, coughs about a mouthful of water out and breathes again, his head spinning, until he realizes who it is that saved him.

Demyx - or, no, probably not Demyx, not after the cataclysmic shattering of Kingdom Hearts, the one that bought Lea back his own heart. Shamefully, he has no idea of the guy's real name. Demyx, of all people, here, on Lea's one day off. ]

B-been a while, huh?

[ Lea says this, still coughing slightly (at a distance where Lea's lack of facial marking should be distinct), and then his coughs transition into a wave of uncontrolled laughter. He's not sure if it's from embarrassment, from that "oh cool I didn't die" adrenaline rush, or from the acute irony of running into a former Organization member wandering around on the only vacation day he's likely to get for a really long time. ]

--Wait, do you live here?

[ The question itself sends Lea into an even stronger giggle fit - oh my god, this has to be Demyx's home world. Of all the worlds!!! ]
