...
The whole gang was in Rei's living room. Rin, Sousuke, and Makoto on the couch. Nagisa, Rei, and Haru were sitting on the floor in front of said couch. Everyone was watching intently as the 2016 Swim Olympics played in front of them on the television. Rin, being the one to form this get-together was obviously showing his excitement much more than the rest of his friends. When a particularly eye catching moment came up, small cheers could be heard from all them.
Even though Haru wasn't quick enough to have his seat next to Makoto he sat in front of his knees and leaned on them comfortably. Makoto, being used to this sort of intimacy between him and Haru didn't give one single thought to it.
The announcers began reading the names of the 4x100m male medley relay teams. Everyone became silent and leaned towards the screen. It was very clear that medley relays peaked all of their interests. As soon as the backstroke swimmers jumped into the water Sousuke glanced over at Makoto sitting to the left of him. Makoto's glasses were slipping towards the edge of his nose as his grin got wider. His hands were gripping his knees in excitement for the Japanese team.
Makoto was beautiful, there really was no denying it. From his softly tanned skin to his bright green eyes, and Sousuke wanted all of it.
Sousuke hesitantly brought his hand to Makoto's face and gently pushed the glasses back up to their original position. He wrapped his only slightly bigger hands around the green haired boy's fist. Makoto turned his head towards Sousuke only to be greeted with the side of his face. Sousuke didn't dare look Makoto in his eyes, this was already as awkward as it is.
"Sousuke?" Makoto asked quietly. Sousuke responded by locking his fingers around his before finally looking him in the eye.
Haru heard his friend's voice and turned his head around to look at him. Haru first saw the strong eye contact between the two before his eyes flickered down to the tightly grasped hands placed on Makoto's knees. His eyebrows furrowed together. The sight of Haru's turned head caught Rin's attention. Rin smirked with a small chuckle.
"Up and at em', Sosuke!" Rin laughed loudly. Sosuke glared at Rin before Haru took Makoto's hand away from the blue eyed boy.
"Can you not?" Haru sassily spat at Sousuke.
"Eh... Haru," Makoto's anxous voice interurpted the hard faces exchanged between Haru and Sousuke. Everyone turned around and stared at the triangle of boys. Makoto blushed softly before he looked at the tv again.
"Guys, guys... Look!" He tried to ease the tension by bringing everyone's attention towards the relay once again. Japan placed 2nd behind America and in front of Australia. Everyone smiled again as they watched their home team collect their silver medal. Makoto sighed in relief before he reached for Sousuke's warm hand again. Both men softly laughed and leaned on each other as they watched the rest of the games.
