Yo! Randomatic is back with another fanfic, which I was asked to do a Free! Fanfic with the handsome, swimmer guys (cough) (cough). But most importantly this will be a OC x all the guys type of story. So, who do you think the OC would go with (Makes a face). I started writing out the first chapter while I was in my sociology class. Well, hope you enjoy and give some reviews and press that like button if you liked the first chapter ^^ I'll try to go "Free!" mode since I'm not true hardcore fan of the anime but I can try typing it up with the best of my abilities. Alrighty, then. LET'S DO THIS!

(Sorry, if I made the characters seem a bit out of character. I tried )

Chapter One: "Cherry Blossoms and the man with the Burgundy hair."

"Gah...MAKOTO?! Why do you have to do that?!"

I yelled out to the tall, light brown-olive haired guy, who literally just messed up my art piece, by dropping it into the swimming pool of mine and Haru's college.

"I'm sorry, Aya. I didn't mean to do that! I didn't want Haru to just jump into the pool, while you were drawing and then getting it all wet."

He tugged on my shirt, trying to apologize. I hit him on his shoulder this time.

"Well, nice try saving it! Now, I have to restart it all over again, idiot!" I grumbled, throwing the piece into the garbage.

My friends Makoto Tachibana and Haruka Nanase, were my child-hood friends since elementary school. Those two were into the sports called "Swimming", and I was more into the art world, thanks to Haru for introducing that hobby to me. I practically grew up with them, and now were still together after we graduated from Iwatobi High. Except when Makoto moved to Tokyo for college, but then he is here for a long vacation. Why am I still with these two? Well, they are my only family. My parents passed away when I was little, and I have no brothers or even sisters. I live with Haru for the time being until I move out and get my own place. It wasn't too bad staying over at Haru's. he lives alone anyway, so he is pretty much a brother now, even if I had slight feelings for him, but it went away during high school. I could of lived with Makoto as well but moving to Tokyo with him, would be a huge drag, and also it would strike up some weird rumors. I obviously didn't want that.

I watched as Haru got out of the pool, flipping his bangs from side to side and Makoto handing him a towel.

"You know the water hates you, right?" Haru told me.

I rolled my eyes, not even looking at him. Trying to tell a funny joke,huh? Psh..dude, all you can think about is water and having to eat mackerel every single day. Getting tired of your shit. (laughs)

"No mackerel for dinner, tonight. Especially for that attitude you just gave me."

Looking at Haru's eyes, filled with despair when I mentioned that. I was serious. He loved eating mackerel way too much, so of course, he needed some punishment.

"Okay, sorry," he apologized, while drying his hair.

Makoto watched as me and Haru were having our small quarrel with each other over the most stupidest things. We all sat next to each other, while the sun was halfway down, and the moon was about to rise. Cherry blossom petals, flew with the wind as we sat together. Haru watched as the pool water was swishing from left to right. I looked at Makoto this time, staring at his phone, probably texting Nagisa and Rei, or Gou. Maybe it was Gou. I kind of ship those two together or maybe her with Haru. Who am I kidding? These guys haven't even said anything about a girl they are crushing on. Oh well, I'm Aya Yoshioka, a sophomore in college, who hangs out with these two idiots, who makes the three of us all single.

I see Makoto lay down this time on the concrete, hands behind his head as he looked up at the sky.

"Hey Haru? Have you contacted Rin?" He asked haru.

Who's Rin? I asked myself that in my head. Did Haru had a girlfriend that I don't know of? I mean, they all have girl names but this could be a girl. I looked at Haru who continued to watch over the water.

"He is trying to become a cop, but still trying to live his dream goal in becoming a famous Olympic swimmer at the same time. Lately, he has been pretty busy, from what I heard from Gou, since he is back from Australia for vacation as well."

"Gou knows Rin?" I asked.

"Rin is Gou's older brother" Makoto told me.

I made a face, wondering why Gou never mentioned him to me when we would hang out sometimes.

'He seems alright so far. His annoying emotions aren't getting to him." Haru added in since Makoto and I sort of interrupted everything he had said, explaining about Rin.

"So mean, Haru-chan." Makoto giggled when he said that.

"Stop calling me that, were adults now." Haru retorted.

All Makoto did was continue to give small laughs. I smiled, but then felt left out on not knowing who this Rin was. A man who wanted to be a professional swimmer, but also wanted to be a cop at the same time? That's a lot on his hands. He must be a great person to them, especially with a push to the limit future. But I had to ask who he was?

"Haru? Makoto? Who is this Rin you just mentioned?" I asked them, with both my knees to my chin. Makoto got up and then patted me on my head.

"That's right. We haven't introduced you to him, yet." He gave me a smile.

"You will see him soon,." He added.

Haru gave out a sigh and we looked at him.

"I rather not introduce those two, to each other, since both of their attitudes are the same." He finally got up and strechted a bit. I raised an eyebrow.

"Ahh…Ignore Haru. The important thin you need to know is, he is one of our dearest friends since we were all in the same school when we were kids, we definitely have a lot of history together. Once he came back from Australia back in high school, it was a bit difficult to becoming friends with him again but we were all able to work things out."

I stood up this time, and started to tie my hair. I continued to listen to Makoto.

"You weren't around us much because you were busy taking care of your art life and cared less about us, swimming guys."

I made an "O" with my mouth, knowing how I don't even know this guy, but was interested about him. They all been together for awhile, even when I lived with Haru, I ws never around them, though. Haru made a gloom face at me and I gave out a "what?" For just knowing about Rin.

"Well, he is a complete crybaby when it comes to things he doesn't appreciate." Haru added that with the most serious tone until an empty water bottle, came flying and hit his head.

Makoto and I looked at each other knowing we didn't do that until we heard footsteps behind us. It was king of hard to see who it was, when it was a bit dark out. Makoto literally hid behind my small form.

I got a glimpse of shark like teeth smiling, and a tall figure coming out of the shadows.

"Rin!"

Both Haru and Makoto yelled out when they said that name.

Wait? Rin? This man was Rin?

Light shine upon the man we see in front of us. I scanned him. Yes. I scanned him, what can I do? A woman who was single was going to definitely, look at a man just like how a man will look at a woman. He had burgundy colored hair, his body was perfectly shaped, seeing he was wearing a tank and some black jeans. He was at a good height. His clothing style wasn't too bad, and his eyes were…catchy. His face expression was king of hot as well. So this was Gou's brother? Why didn't she ever mentioned this guy to me. Lame…

He came up to us this time.

"Yo. It's been a year since I've seen you, two. You guys haven't even changed a bit. Well, it's just a year anyways."

Wow. He had a one of a kind type of husky voice. Oh my goodness, shut up, Aya. Don't lose your cool, now.

"How did you know we were here?" I heard Haru say while he rubbed his head from that throw Rin gave.

"Nagisa texted me to come meet here, and see you two and also Rei. I'm guessing he wants to hang out for the night, and were heading to Tokyo."

"Were all just hanging out? I thought I can just go home." Haru said that with no expression as always.

Oh Haru. Just for tonight. We did plan to hang out in Tokyo anyways, that's why we brought extra clothes with us." Makoto added in.

While those two idiots were talking, Rin looked my direction this time, and stared at me, from top to bottom. His eyebrows raised and he just gave out a smile.

"Who's the chick? Nagisa didn't mention a woman coming with us." Rin asked.

Makoto lightly places his huge hands on my slender arms and smiled at Rin.

"This is our child-hood friend, Aya Yoshioka, you never seen her around though because she was too busy being part of the art life. She has lived with Haru for a long time just that we never get to see her when we used to hang out at Haru's place during high school."

Wow. Go explain my life to a stranger I don't even know, yet.

Rin stepped in front of me and looked at me a bit more. I was feeling uncomfortable from the close-ness he was giving.

"Hey, nice-to meet ya."

I had to break the silence and put a hand out to shake his hand. He shook it and backed away.

"Can you swim?" he asked me.

Really? Are you dumb enough to ask me on the first day we met.

"I can. But I'm not into the sport like you guys."

Rin smirked.

"Don't you worry, we will get you excited into liking it."

His face was close to mine as if he wanted to challenge me. Haru suddenly stepped in front of him, pushing Rin away lightly.

"Leave her alone, Rin."

Both Rin and Makoto laughed.

'My name is Rin Matsuoka. Nice to meet you, too."

I nod at that, not knowing what to say when I already did my greeting.

This was some strange reunion for the three of them. I watched as the three of them joked around. I looked at Haru smiling. He never really laughed that way when I'm near him. I'm guessing the presence of Rin, just makes him smile more.

"Haru-chan! Mako-chan! Rin- chan! Aya-chan!"

I turned around to hear a more cheerful voice coming our way. The first thing tat came up to me was this blond haired guy, jumping behind my back, hugging me from behind.

"Goddamn it! Nagisa! Would you stop that! You are heavy!" I yelled

"What! I miss seeing you! Also everyone else!" He said happily, finally letting go.

"Good evening, Aya-sempai." The tall muscular, rerd framed man said, as he bow down to me.

I faced palm myself, and grabbed both of their ears.

"What did I say about greeting me the way you just greeted me.?!"

"Sorry!" Was what I got out of the both of them.

I laughed and just let go of their ears and gave them both a hug. These guys were also their friends but I got along with them quite easily. I looked over at the other three guys and I see Rin giving me that stare. This time we had eye contact. I looked away quickly, trying not to feel awkward about it.

"Should we get going guys? Let's go grab something to eat and probably some drinks as well." Makoto said.

"Alright! Let's do this!" the guys cheered out.

We rode in Rei's SUV all the way to Tokyo, just to go hang out. We ate first at some expensive restaurants and I was being teased by one of the waiters there, saying I was a pimp for having these guys. And they all literally made fun of me. We then stopped by one of the bars in the most drastic places, the red light district. I know it wasn't Haru's scene so I linked an arm around his arm to keep him close by. We arrived at a place called, "Kabukicho". We got inside, seeing all these women wearing short dresses with high heels, and men in the most chilled out outfits. I feel like I didn't belong here. I noticed Nagisa and Rin st talking to random girls, especially Rin. Girls were already trying to get at him. I looked over to Makoto already talking to one of the bartenders. I'm guessing he was getting the drinks for us. Rei and Haru stayed near me. I patted both Haru's and Rei's back to go join Rin and Nagisa's women attraction time while I head to sit next to Makoto. Makoto smiled when I came to him, and he literally put his hand on my waist and I got shocked by the feeling of his hand.

"What the hell?" I told him.

He went closer to my ear.

"Guys are looking at our lady. I'm going to protect you from them. So just play along." He said.

It was very awkward hearing that from Makoto. I'm guessing he learned a some stuff while he stayed in Tokyo. Makoto is the most tallest guy away from the other men so it made him a good bodyguard to me. I see Rin coming our way leaving behind Nagisa, Haru and Rei with the other girls, and went next to me.

"I would like a strawberry Daiquiri please. Get one for the lady here, too."

Makoto laughed at Rin's actions. Do they know what they are doing? Seems like they een going out to places like this a lot. Makoto let go of me this time and started taling to a girl who sat beside him. Makoto was definitely a gentlemen, and he was doing his gentlemen acts like it was nothing. We finally got our drinks and wit a clink of both min and Rin's glass, we gulped our drinks down. Rin raises his eyebrows.

"What?"

"I never seen a woman who can drink up straight like that. A woman should drink it up sip by sip, like a real woman."

"Hmph, it's just one glass, plus I'm not very ladylike. Give me another shot and it's different."

Rin stared at me, looking more interested. He asked for another for the both of us and we did it again. I started to laugh at his expression. Haru , Nagisa and Rei joined us. Haru went behind me and held on to my blouse from behind.

"Oh my god, I want to leave."

He now lays his head, behind my back.

"A pretty girl literally, danced up on him all of a sudden, and then he freaked out." Nagisa laughed.

Rei touched his frames and crossed his arms.

"But I do admit, she was one beautiful woman. Haru should of not run away like that." Rei said it with giggles.

I pat Haru on the head.

"It's okay, Haru. You will find a woman that matches with the presence of water." I told him, with a huge grin on my lips.

We all laughed. It felt like a very good start of a night, and also a good reunion for them. I noticed Rin smiling at me, and I gave a smile back. I barely got to talk to him tonigh, and it felt like there was some sort of vibe between us that was somewhat connecting. But hey, I'm not chasing anyone at the moment, plus he has other women to give his shark stares at. For some reason, his eyes were on me the whole time.

It was now 3am in the morning, and we all decided to stay at Makoto's place instead of getting a hotel. Rin complained a but about wanting to just stay at a hotel. Rin was definitely drunk. I held onto a drunk Haru while Makoto held onto a drunk Rei. Surprisingly, Nagisa was still okay. We got into Makoto's place and everyone pretty much knocked out. I went outside for a bit and sat at the entrance. Makoto had a nice studio apartment here, especially it was near the ocean. I watched as little bit of cherry blossom petals were flowing through the wind. I heard the door open behind me and a lightweight blanket was placed on me. I looked to who gave me the blanket and I see Rin sit next to me.

"Can't sleep?" he asked me.

"Mmm…yeah. Nagisa is snoring loud so I just wanted to staty out for a bit, and probably sleep once I get back in."

Rin's face got closer to mine.

"You want me to hold you at night?"

I pushed him immediately and he laughed. Was he trying to flirt with me?

Things got quiet between us and all we did was watch the waves, the moonlight, and the sudden cherry blossom petals continue to flow through the wind.

"It was weird how I never seen around before. I'll admit, though. You are one interesting woman I ever met."

I looked at him with that response. So I decided to play my game.

"No wonder why you kept staring at me throughout the hangout. I'm not your average woman out there, I'm pretty different."

Rin gave out a smirk and nudged my shoulder. We laughed together. I see Rin get up and walk back to the entrance, but suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked back at me, once I stood up as well.

We both looked at each other as if eternity crossed both of our paths, the wind picked up this time, and more cherry blossom petals came betweens us. His expression was so serious looking this time while his hair flowed with the wind. My pure black hair, flew through the wind as well. I watced him grin.

"Beware of the shark, if you want to challenge that."

I heard him say.

What did he mean by that?

That look in his eyes felt seductive. It was pulling me in. Until that moment broke.

"Hey, you two. Get back inside."

Rin and I heard the gentle voice from the doorway. It was Makoto.

Rin waved a hand and walked in. I followed but realize the look Makoto gave me. I didn't like the vibe. So, I cut the silence.

"Nothing happened. We were just talking." I told him, as nicely as I can.

He then gently shoved me to the wall, with one hand on my shoulder.

"I'm giving you a warning to be careful with Rin."

I gave him a confused look, not understanding why I have to be careful. Rin looked harmless. Makoto let go of me this time and pats my head to go back in.

I blinked for a few seconds and repeated the words Makoto told me. I felt my shoulder as well. What did that mean? It was a bit harsh for him to do that, so I slowly ignored it.

Once I cleaned up, and got in Makoto's bed, thanks to the guys, they all slept out in the living room while I have my own privacy. I was thinking of Rin for the moment. How his figure stood there, how he smiles, his raspy voice being heard and then with that his burgundy hair flowed along side the cherry blossom petals.

It was one heck of a sight that he was definitely interesting.

But then, a glimpse of Makoto's face appeared in my vision and I instantly closed my eyes.

Until then, I finally went to sleep.

Yep. We don't know what's wrong with Makoto? Wait for next chapter that's coming soon :O I will make sure there are no errors if there is any in the second chapter. This story isn't even completed yet ha ha ...ha.
