Decided to write a drabble to help deal with these feels that the mook gave me. This takes place in the "Splash Free" universe and was partially inspired by someone's fanart that I saw earlier. (Message me on my tumblr and I will be more than happy to point the fanart out to you if you're curious.)

I don't claim any ownership over "Free!," the mook, Rin, or Haru, or "Splash Free." I can't even draw these characters, frankly; claiming ownership over them would just be stupid on my part.

I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed righting it, and let me know what you think. ^_^

"Eating in the Royal Bath" 8/6/2015

"I thought I'd find you here," Rin remarked with a smirk.

Haru slowly opened his eyes, looking up at the Arabic prince from where he lay in the royal bath.

"You said I could use it any time I wanted," he said, his voice almost accusing.

Rin laughed as he disrobed. "You're right, I did. And I meant it."

Haru moved aside as the prince entered the water, his arms reaching to wrap comfortably around Haru as the other came to lean against him.

A servant entered, carrying a tray of bread and fruits. It was the hour of the prince's midday meal.

"Haru? Have you eaten today?" Rin asked, noticing the hungry look on the other man's face.

The only answer he received was a stoic glare, which he took as a 'no.'

"Come on, then. Eat with me."

Taking a grape between his fingers, Rin held the piece of fruit out to Haru's lips, smiling as the other ate from his hand. "See? Just because it isn't mackerel is no reason to turn your nose up at it."

Watching as Haru licked his lips, the prince picked another grape from the stem, moving it towards his own mouth. Before he could get a chance to chew it, though, Haru's face had shot forward, lips pressing harshly against his own.

Rin almost choked from the sudden kiss, barely registering as Haru's hands came to rest tenderly on either side of his face, causing his mouth to tilt at a different angle. The other man's tongue softly licked at Rin's lips, requesting permission and soon entered the prince's mouth, exploring leisurely.

By the time Haru moved away, Rin had been reduced to a moaning, blushing mess. The prince sat up again in a daze, watching in confusion as Haru held the grape between his lips. The grape quickly vanished from sight as Haru chewed and swallowed it.

"You're right. It wasn't so bad," Haru said in a thoughtful undertone. He began to sink below the water, wanting to rest at the bottom of the bath for a bit. "It still wasn't mackerel, though."

The last thing Haru saw before sinking below the surface was Rin's face; it was red, gaping, embarrassed, and angry.

"HARU!"
