1. Shopping

(AN In this oneshot or drabble the people genderbent are Nagisa and Haruka)

Summary: When Nagisa drags Gou and Haru with her shopping what happens when they run into Gou's brother Rin? Or Momo? Set a few days before regions in Free! Eternal Summer.

"We should go shopping!" Nagisa announced suddenly. Currently, she was sitting next to Gou and Haru in Haru's living room. Haru just took a sip of tea, her expression still blank.

"Don't we already have swimsuits for the team? I remember you fawning over your boyfriend's yesterday." Gou said with a smirk while Nagisa ignored her.

"Not like that silly! I mean girl shopping. I love Rei and Makoto is a great friend but I seriously miss shopping ever since I joined the team! Why don't we go look at that new mall? I hear they have a cafe specializing in mackerel." Nagisa persuaded and Haru turned to her.

"I'm in." Haru stated before going back to the barley tea. Gou sighed and nodded.

"Why not. Let's go!" Gou relented. Nagisa shrieked and pulled them out of the house.

"You lied." Haru accused with a blank face while Nagisa rubbed her neck.

"Funny story...you see I didn't think you would come unless I said that." Nagisa admitted sheepishly. Haru sighed and walked away from the group. Nagisa's face fell until she saw where Haru went.

"Oh look! It is a store for swimming!" Nagisa squealed while Gou just stared at her.

"Didn't we come here to get away from swimming?" Gou questioned but it fell on deaf ears as Nagisa dragged her into the store.

Wait up Haru-chan!" Nagisa exclaimed. Haru turned back and felt herself bump into something hard. She pulled back and saw who it was.

"Sorry Rin." Haru said and saw that Nagisa was right behind her. Gou looked at her brother and waved.

"Hi Onii-chan! What are you doing here?" Gou asked while smiling. Rin just sighed.

"Momo needed new goggles. He dragged me along." Rin jerked his thumb behind him and sure enough Momo was posing with goggles on. When Momo caught sight of Gou he ran up to her and slung his arm around her shoulder.

"Hello Gou! I am a first year on the Samesouke swim team! I specialize in backstroke and enjoy to catch stag beetles. My favorite hamburger is triple cheese and I love chocolate pudding flavored ice cream!" Momo rambled before Rin grabbed his collar and threw him next to the goggles.

"Pick a pair!" Rin barked and Nagisa smiled.

"I've got to go! Gou-chan would you help me...look for headbands! Yes I need a new headband. See you later Haru-chan! Bye Rin-chan!" Nagisa called out and grabbed Gou, pulling her along. Haru now stared at Rin.

"I heard you got scouts. Have you decided what you want to do?" Rin asked Haru. She looked at him and kept her face blank but Rin saw it. The subtle way her eyes flashed with despair when he mentioned the scouts. He didn't have any time to dwell on why she would be upset about getting scouted before she responded.

"Free." Haru stated while Rin grit his teeth in frustration.

"What is free to you?" Rin demanded.

"Not being showcased to scouts for swimming fast." Haru looked at him defiantly when she spoke before walking away. Rin's eyes widened.

"Free huh?" Rin scoffed and turned to look at where Haru was. He shook his head and went back to Momo.

No one is free.
