A/N: Ah, my maiden fic for this fandom. Anyways, enjoy and review :)

there's more to come soon (hopefully), but I'm going to start the new chapter in a couple hours.

I apologise for any typos or inconsistencies.

Yawning, Rin switched his study light off. Samezuka was having finals next week and to say that he was an all-rounder was stretching the truth a bit. His English was probably his best subject, thanks to his time overseas, but his math and science were falling behind somewhat in light of the recent drama that was his life. But everything was sorted out now, and he was left with exams to study for, and slack to pick up.

Glancing at his clock, he saw that it was already midnight. He was cooped up in his dorm since after swimming practice, which was made especially annoying, by his captain, who had the audacity to ask for Gou's number. Bastard.

Slipping under his covers, he gathered that Ai was already blissfully sleeping, the light snoring from the bunk above him confirming his hypothesis. Lucky first year. Allowing his eyelids to slowly droop shut, a sleepy smile blossomed on his face as he awaited his journey to dreamland.

His bliss was interrupted, however, by the shrill ringing of a phone. His phone to be exact.

Sitting up and snatching it from the table in one fluid movement, he hissed into it, "What?"

"Ah hello Rin-chan!" was the chirpy greeting from the other end.

"Nagisa?! What the fuck do you want?" He growled. Although he was happy to have his friends back, he did not appreciate his sleep being interrupted. At all.

"Ah, Rin-chan, language." Nagisa, the little devil teased.

"I'm not about to fucking mind my language, Nagisa. Now what the fuck do you want?"

"I just came back from Rei-chan's house, and he pointed something out to me. I've come to the realization, with Rei-chan's help of course, that I'm a cockblock." He said somewhat guiltily, his voice not as chipper as it usually was.

"I can't believe it took Rei to point out that you have no fucking regard for personal space." Rin snapped.

"Ouch, Rin-chan. Anyway I want to set things right. I need your help. Please?"

"Why me? Can't you fucking ask Makoto or something?"

"You see…that's the thing. I've kinda been cockblocking on Mako-chan and Haru-chan. I want to get them together. I need your help. Please." He sounded desperate, and Rin could imagine his already large eyes widening even more, and that hopeless expression on his face. And Rin was a sucker for that.

"Give me one good reason why I should help you." It was a sign that he was giving in, but not completely. He hadn't lost this battle yet.

"Help me, or else I'll give your captain Gou-chan's number." Nagisa said tauntingly.

Rin sighed into the phone.

"Fuck you." He hung up on Nagisa.

He couldn't believe he agreed to that.

He met Nagisa in café the Saturday after his last paper.

The blond was all smiles as he ran up to him and greeted him with an infamous Nagisa Bear Hug. After he finally managed to free himself from his death grip- how did someone so small even have such a strong grip? - the pair headed into the café.

After Nagisa ordered the largest sundae available, while Rin opted for coffee and a muffin, they sat down in a booth towards the back of the café.

"So you kept me up past midnight last week, and make me spend my Saturday with you. There better be a reward for this, Hazuki."

"There is. I won't give your captain Gou-chan's number. I already told you, Rin-chan."

"You're a little shit, Nagisa."

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too, Rinrin," Rin winced at the old nickname and was about to snap at Nagisa, but the blond continued talking, "anyways, to the matter at hand-"

"Why do you even need to set Makoto and Haru up anyways? They're practically married already. Hell, they're so fucking obvious, I'm sure even their parents know."

"That's where you're wrong, Rin-chan. They may behave like a married couple, but they're just friends and nothing more. Trust me."

"Ok, so what exactly do you want me to do? It's not like I can lock them in a room and expect them to fuck or something. Makoto's as innocent as a kitten, and Haru is as thick as wood."

"I know that, Rin-chan. I'm planning to get Haru-chan to confess. But I can't get through to him, Rin-chan. That's where I need you." Nagisa resorted to pleading again, using puppy-dog eyes on Rin.

Which he might have had a weakness for.

"So you want me to talk some sense into Haru?"

"Mmhm." Nagisa nodded in agreement, his blond curls bouncing.

"So what's the plan exactly? I can't exactly go up to Haru and say 'I know you love Makoto,' and expect him to take action. He's thick when it comes to this kind of thing."

"I know that, Rin-chan, that's why I have perfectly formulated a plan. Ooh, our food is here!"

Rin's eyes widened at the size of Nagisa's sundae. He knew Nagisa could put away with a lot of food, but this sundae was easily the biggest thing he'd ever seen.

Nagisa attacked the sundae like a wild animal, forgetting that he had company, or that he shouldn't ravage his food in such a manner while in public. After a few spoons of that monstrosity- Rin refused to call it a sundae- Nagisa looked up at Rin, who calmly sipped on his coffee.

"Now about that plan, Rin-chan," Nagisa started, breaking off a chunk of Rin's muffin and dipping it into the melting goo that was his sundae, to which Rin scowled.

"Why are you eating my muffin?" Rin asked harshly. He sometimes wondered why he was friends with Nagisa.

"Because I'm a growing boy!"

"Bullshit. Anyway, you were saying something about a plan."

"Oh! Yes, I recently noticed something, Rin-chan. Did you know Haru-chan has this little dolphin charm that he brings to every swim meet? He brings it to exams as well!" Nagisa said brightly, as though revealing a stunning revelation.

"He has a good luck charm. So?"

"It may just seem like an ordinary good luck charm, Rin-chan, but guess who gave it to him?" Nagisa asked knowingly.

"Mako-chan did!" He declared, not giving Rin a chance to reply, maroon eyes proud with his precious tidbit of information.

Well that was certainly interesting. So Haru had a lucky charm?

"And what do you want to do about it? You're not gonna steal it, are you, Nagisa?" Rin asked, already knowing where this conversation was going.

"You are, aren't you?"

Nagisa nodded, and his blond hair bounced.

Rin felt dread pooling in his stomach.
