AN: Hey there! So here's just a cute little love note from Haruka to Rin I came up with. I hope you like it and if you do, you should check out my other Free! Fanfic. It's called Soul Mates and it's a MakoHaru fic. I know, MakoHaru and HaruRin. I just can't pick one! So conflicted! Argh! But anyways, hope you enjoy! :P

Twice The Man

Rin,

I know you haven't always been so accepting of your own feelings, but I'm glad you finally came around. I know sometimes you feel like the world is on your shoulders and I want you to know that I'll always be here to carry the extra weight. I know sometimes you still feel like what we're doing is an abomination, but this is who we are, Rin.

We're always better when we're together anyways, so please don't ever leave me. I'm so glad that after the ever- constant inner struggles, you saw that we were meant to be, and although in the eyes of other people it may be "wrong" it doesn't matter.

Because you make me feel free, Rin.

Don't you know that's all I've ever wanted to feel?

I know that I'm not always the best at expressing how my emotions, and I know I'm not always the easiest to put up with, so thanks. There is, however one emotion that I am very in touch with, and I will never be afraid to hide.

That is my love for you, Rin.

I... love you.

With all my heart.

To the moon and back.

I'm not perfect, but who is? All I know is that you're perfect at being you.

I think you're beautiful, even when you lounge around in sweatpants and tank tops. I think you're gorgeous even with a bed head. Everything about you makes my stomach do somersaults. Every time you so much as smile, I can feel my face heat up.

You make me smile, Rin, even if you can't see it on my face.

Nobody else can do that.

I never want you to look at anyone else the way you look at me now. I want to see your smile forever. It may be selfish, but who cares? I want you to be mine, Rin, and in turn I promise to be yours.

When I was ten, people called me a prodigy. When I was fifteen they called me a genius. When I'm twenty I will be normal.

My grandma would have loved you.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I've only got two more years until I'm ordinary, and I want to spend them with you. I want you to love me while I'm still special. You'll eventually turn twenty, too, but you don't count.

You can never be anything but exceptional. It's impossible.

I'm easily replaceable, but someone like you will never come around again. That's why I feel so lucky you chose me. Me. All this time and I still can't believe it.

I often find myself wondering if I deserve you, and I probably don't. I know I will never be good enough for you, but you tell me I make you happy.

And all I want you to be is happy.

So if you ever decide I'm not good enough for you, I will understand. Trust me, I will. If there's ever a time that I can't make you happy, know that it's okay.

But for now, Keep me, please, because I will never find someone I will love as much as I love you right now.

After all we've been through, I'm sure no one expected us to even last a month. (I heard Nagisa and Rei talking about it.) After all the things we said and all the hurtful things we've done, it's been one year. Not a month, not two but a whole year. I hope there will be many more after this, but for now lets just stop and think about this year we've been together.

Happy Anniversary.

In this one year, I've learned a lot, but one stood out among all others. Here it is:

Rin Matsuoka, you may have a girly name, but you are twice the man anyone else will ever be.

Here's to an amazing year.

Infinite love,

Haruka Nanase.
