It was another sunny day over Iwatobi and white fluffy clouds rolled over a brilliant blue sky. A gentle breeze blew in the wind Haru was having a domestic goddess day. Every Sunday she changed the futon, sheets, laundry and dusted the house to make sure everything was cleaned top to bottom.

"Maybe I should do mackerel kebabs with miso soup for lunch" Haru thought to herself as she folded the dried laundry. A good meal always tasted much more rewarding after hard work. It felt like you had worked hard for it and it was more deserving to be rewarded for you efforts.

She loved finding many ways to cook her fish for a tasty meal. The omega 3 was good for her heart and complexion. If only Rin would try adding more fish in his diet. Sharks were supposed to eat fish as well as meat; however being the stubborn person that he was that would never happen.

"He really became a pain after growing up" Haru sighed crossly. How had he managed to do such a 180 since they were kids? He used to be very sweet, shy and stubborn as a kid but always friendly and playful. After coming back from Australia he became cold, distant and stubborn.

As much as she knew she couldn't change what happened to him; she couldn't help but wish for the old Rin to come back. She wanted the sweet, caring, sensitive and playful boy she fell for on to come back.

Haru sighed heavily her black hair gently blowing in the wind "What happened to you?...Rin" she said sadly. She couldn't understand what had hurt him so much as to change the way he had; but she wanted to learn and how to heal the wounds in his heart.

Suddenly she heard a knocking at the door. She wasn't expecting visitors and today was Sunday. Makoto never came unless invited or unless it was a school day. That and he was getting ready for his family trip.

She hummed thoughtfully wondering who it could be. She put down her basket of fresh sheets and clothes and approached the door. Her back clicked as she straightened up causing her to grumble.

As she reached the door she sighed heavily; she hoped it wasn't Nagisa asking her to hang out; she had chores to do. She quickly pulled on her sandals and opened the sliding door.

"Makoto School is tomorrow" she muttered crossly as she opened the door. She was surprised to be met with a tearful looking Rin. However instead of the 17 year old teen she knew; instead it was the cute lovable Rin from her childhood.

Time seemed to stop and she froze on the spot. Was this a dream? Had Kami heard her wish and granted it? If so then she would happily kneel at his feet and kiss them until she passed out. To be able to see the cute boy from her childhood again before he became a stubborn Tsundere was the best thing she could ask for. (next to endless mackerel and the ocean at her front door literally)

She stared at the small crying boy quietly and eventually knelt down to poke his cheek. To her surprise he was actually here and it wasn't a dream. Just to make sure she poked a few more times until he batted her hands away in annoyance.

The boy looked at her tearfully his maroon eyes filled with fear and sadness "Haru..." he hiccuped tearfully. He didn't realize it but his puppy dog eyes crying face was melting her stone cold nature into her hidden girly side.

Haru felt a sense of concern wash over him. Had someone done this as a prank? Perhaps Kami was punishing him for something he had done? "Rin what happened?" she asked worriedly patting his head gently. She could never leave a crying child alone.

Rin sniffed wiping his eyes "I...I don't...*hic*...I just...*hic*...woke up...*sniff*...and found...*sniff* myself...*hic*...in this body" he explained tearfully.

He had no idea why or how this was happening. He didn't know how long it would last and he couldn't go to school like this. He didn't know where else to turn as he knew Haru was good at keeping secrets.

Haru gave him a sympathetic look and hugged him warmly "Its ok now Rin" she soothed gently. He was safe now and everything would be alright; she was just glad that he wasn't attacked by any perverts on the way here. If so she would have cut their damn hands off at the hilt.

Rin nuzzled into her shoulder gently tears still spilling over onto her shirt. He just wanted to be back to normal but he didn't know how to change back. He hoped this was a dream but he knew it wasn't.

Haru held the boy closer to her gently. He must have been so frightened to wake up in a body that was not his normal one. God knows how he made it across here without any of his classmates seeing him.

A short while later

Haru and Rin were sat at her table drinking tea and chocolate milk. Given the small body Rin was in he hadn't a taste for tea anymore. However she would have to be careful with his sugar intake to prevent sugar highs.

"Feel better now?" Haru asked gently gazing at the small boy. He looked so cute with his red puffy eyes. It was taking all her self control not to blush and take a picture. While she had a calm face she was internally fan-girling at his cute crying face.

Rin nodded quietly staring at the table. He was grateful for Haru being so understanding and letting him in. Having a good cry to release all his stress really felt good; no wonder girls did it so often.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Haru asked curiously. If Gou or Sousuke knew anything about this they could be her allies. It was better not to deal with these things alone after all.

Rin shook his head quietly. He had run away from home after seeing himself like this so they wouldn't find out. He had left a note for Gou saying he was going to Haru's place for a while.

Sousuke had no idea and was in the dark about it. Despite the fact they were childhood friends he didn't have the guts to tell him. How the hell could he explain the fact that he woke up in his child body? Plus Sousuke would look like a pervert who was into Shouta or something creepy like that.

Haru sighed heavily; guess she was dealing with this by herself. It wasn't going to be easy but nothing ever was. She got up slowly to find her phone. She would need to call Makoto and a few others letting them know she would be off for a while.

Rin watched her get up and stared after her anxiously "Haru where are you going?" he asked curiously. Was she going to another room to cry about the burden that had been placed on her?

"I have to make some calls" Haru stated bluntly as she started dialing. There were two people she had to call to let them know their situation; Makoto would tell Gou and Gou would tell Sousuke or something like in that order.

"To who?!" Rin cried loudly slamming his hands on the table. Was she going to tell the others about his situation?! He would never be able to face his friends looking like this!

Haru blinked at him but could understand his concern "School mainly; I need to let them know I'll be off these two days" she explained bluntly. She couldn't exactly not look after Rin when he was like this; besides it was summer break in 2 day so missing a few days from school was no big deal.

Spending her summer looking after child Rin wasn't such a bad idea. She knew Makoto was going to visit his family soon and so he would be away anyway. Plus with Rin as a child he would be less annoying.

Nagisa and Rei tended to hang out together a lot. While she appreciated them as friends Nagisa's energy was often hard to deal with. He was always so excitable that it was like dealing with a small child.

Rin blinked in surprise but was grateful; School ended for summer in 2 days. While he didn't usually spend his summer this way; he was stuck with Haru until he knew how to fix this. The reason he came to her was because Haru could keep a secret. She never blabbed about anything and tended to keep to herself.

Makoto wasn't the type to either but his first reaction would to panic. He was already pretty shaken up about it himself; so he didn't need someone else panicking. If that happened he would only break down again.

Haru always remained level headed and in control even when things fell apart. It was one of the many things he admired about her. She was mature and knew how to deal with things; no matter how hard.

Haru smiled at him "Trust me Rin" she said kindly and began to dial. She had a lot of phone calls to make. She sighed heavily as she called the first person; she internally looked up her best lies in her mental folders.

2 phone calls later

Haru sighed heavily and slumped against the table. All that talking had taken it out of her; hell she was surprised they believed what she said. She had never been a good liar so she patted herself on the back for her hard work.

She told Gou that Rin had gotten sick and she had bumped into him on her way home. Being the stubborn idiot he was she had dragged him back to her place and put him in bed. She lied about exhaustion and stress being the main reason he was ill.

Gou knowing what her brother was like believed her and thanked Haru for her help. She also cursed at how Tsundere and troublesome her brother was. She promised to make it up to her when Rin was better.

She had told Makoto that her distant cousin was coming to stay so she needed to look after her. She had also asked for a few boys clothes to borrow as her cousin was a bit of a tomboy.

Haru didn't actually have any younger cousins; they were older and lived far away. However Makoto believed her as he had not met all of her family (plus he was quite gullible). She had also asked him to tell Sousuke that Rin was sick and would be off for some time. She told him she had bumped into him on the way home and he was in a bad state.

Being the person she was unable to leave him alone she brought him back to her place. Makoto had laughed but agreed to do so; calling him same old Rin. After that he had hung up and texted her about what time he would be over.

Rin watched the Raven sigh heavily her energy depleted. He felt bad about causing her so much trouble and was grateful for her help. "Haru...are you ok?" he asked worriedly. He knew she never spoke up when something was wrong; so he worried about her.

"I'm fine Rin...Just tired from all that talking" Haru reassured him wearily. Being an introvert talking for long periods of time wore her out. No matter what situation it was; talking to too many people was just exhausting.

Rin bowed his head sadly "Thanks Haru...you didn't have to do this. You could have just dumped me on my sister instead" he said gratefully. Yes she was a pain in the ass and her addiction to muscles was scary; but she was still family and he loved her.

Haru looked up blinked at him in awe of what he said. If he had gone to his sister she would undoubtedly panic and only made the situation worse. Panic was not what was needed right now; even thought it was rather shocking. Rin was obviously shaken up and scared as it was; he needed reassurance and comfort right now not more panicking.

She frowned crossly and reached out to flick Rin's forehead crossly. This was not his fault and he had nothing to apologize for. Blaming himself would not help things or change the matter.

Rin winced at the sudden contact and rubbed his head crossly "What the hell was that for?" he said crossly. He was feeling guilty about forcing all this responsibility on her. He never usually showed this side of himself so she should be grateful.

"None of this is your fault Rin. You didn't make any of this happen nor did you have any influence over it. You have nothing to apologize for" Haru stated firmly. While she would never admit it; she wondered if that thought about their childhood had influenced it. However to avoid arguments she decided to keep the topic to herself.

Rin looked at her in awe his eyes filled with tenderness "Haru..." he said gently. This was the first time he had seen her act so...maternal. It was actually kind of impressive to see her so mature.

Haru smiled wearily at him "Besides it'll be nice to not have to spend my summer alone" she reassured him optimistically. Her summer was spent visiting the local pool, sleeping in, eating snacks or watching TV shows. She wasn't good with too much heat so she didn't go out too often.

However having Rin around would compel her to do more things. Maybe they could go swimming together, go to the local park, watch movies together, stargaze from the porch and maybe visit the park festival.

Rin's eyes welled up with more tears and he got up quickly. He then walked quickly to the side where Haru was sat and hugged her tightly.

She didn't have to help him, she didn't have to let him stay here and she could have dumped him on someone else. Yet here she was actively helping him and lying to keep him out of trouble and getting found out.

Haru was shocked by Rin's hug but she didn't hate it. But how could she not help him? How scared must he have been to wake up in a strange body with nobody to tell?

She smiled gently and reached out to ruffle his head "Not allowed" she said firmly. He wasn't allowed to cry and blame himself for a situation he had no control over. He had nothing to apologize for whatsoever.

Rin blinked in surprise still resting against her. Was she saying that he wasn't allowed to hug her; or initiate the hugs? Then he recalled she wasn't a very clingy person in general and felt bad.

Haru turned her head on the table to look at him smiling "Don't you dare feel like you're a bother Rin. How could I leave you alone when you're so scared?" she said firmly.

With that all of Rin's self control to hold back his tears snapped. He couldn't handle the kindness that Haru was giving him despite the situation. He couldn't take all the kindness she was giving him; it was just too much.

Haru was surprised at his reaction but understood. She sighed fondly and reached out to cup his head with her arm and hand to comfort him. "I don't know how long Rin will be stuck like this or why this happened. But I won't leave him alone like this. I'll stay with him until he returns to normal" she thought to herself.
