A.N: Hey guys! So I'm going to take a little break from my Stoked fanfic and the Bleach one. But don't worry! I just had wanted to post some Free! one shots and what ifs about my fanfic. I thought I'd post my fanfic and be done with Free! But I guess you can never be done with Free! XD I hope you guys enjoy them!
What if Hikaru had stayed on the beach with the rest of the swim club during the island training instead of going into the lodge with Gou and Miho? – Iwatobi Swim Club chapter 4
After eating with the group, Hikaru started to work on putting up her tent. She had just left it how it was before because she had gotten frustrated. But now, it all came back to her and she had to work on it. Ugh.
"Then Haru and I will be in this tent." Makoto told them, pointing to one of the tents.
"What? I wanna sleep with Haru-chan!"
"You don't want to be in a tent with me?" Rei asked.
"Well, you probably grind your teeth while you sleep." Nagisa replied.
"I don't do that!"
"We can use amida to decide." Makoto told them.
"I'm in!"
"We can draw in the sand."
"Okay."
"I'm on the far right."
"Ah! That's the one I wanted!" Rei huffed.
"Now, now."
"Which one are you taking Haru?"
"The one on the end." Haru replied.
Nagisa started singing the song while deciding who was sleeping in which tent.
"Gah!"
Nagisa stopped singing and the boys looked over at Hikaru, who was discouraged.
"Hikaru-chan, what happened?" Nagisa asked.
"It's the tent! It's the 3rd time it collapses." Hikaru sighed. "It's frustrating. I can't put it up on my own! Can you guys help me? I thought I could do it myself but…"
"No." They all replied in unison.
"W-What? Why?"
Nagisa grinned and put an arm around her. "As if we're letting you stay in a tent alone. You're going to join us."
Hikaru laughed. "Okay, thank you guys!"
Xxx
It was finally night time and they had decided who was sleeping with whom in the tent. Nagisa and Haru were in one tent and Rei, Hikaru and Makoto were in the other.
After a while, the storm outside started getting worse and it woke Hikaru. She rubbed her eyes and turned to the side and saw that Rei's bed was empty. "Rei?" Where was he? She got out of the tent and stood on the sand. "The storm is getting worse." She hugged herself. Maybe wearing a tank top wasn't such a good idea. The wind was really strong that she had to hold her hair back just so she could see. There was a flash of lightning and she looked towards the water. She could see someone in the water and her eyes widened because she recognized who it was.
Rei.
"Rei!" Hikaru shouted and ran towards the water.
Xxx
Hikaru opened her eyes slowly. After remembering running into the water to save Rei, she immediately sat up. "Rei!" As she was sitting up, whatever was covering her had fallen on her lap. She looked in front of her and saw that someone had made a fire. Wait, who was here with her?
"Hey, you're awake."
Hikaru looked at the person sitting next to her. It was Rin.
"Rin! What are you…doing here?" Hikaru asked slowly. She looked around and noticed she was in a cave. Outside, it was still raining pretty hard and it was windy. "What happened?" Then she noticed her legs were bare. She turned her attention back over to the fire and just over it, her Capris were drying. But how were they taken off? She felt herself blushing. "You took my capris off me?"
Now it was Rin's turn to blush. "I had to. How else were they going to dry? I don't want either of us to die of hypothermia."
"O-Oh." Hikaru also noted he was shirtless and only had shorts on. "Here I'll give you your hoodie back."
"No, no. You put that on. My other clothes are almost dry anyways."
"A-Alright." Hikaru put his hoodie on her and scooted over so she was close to him.
Rin blushed again. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to keep you warm with my body heat." Hikaru replied. She was blushing herself. It was hard for her to say that.
Rin blushed at that. "Thank you."
"No Rin, thank you." Hikaru told him. "You saved me. That's why we're here right?"
"Yeah." Rin let out a soft sigh. "I was going for a jog and wore a hoodie because it was going to be cold, that's why I have it." He paused and then continued. "It started to get windy and I decided it was enough for the jog and that I would jog again in the morning. I passed by the beach and that's when I saw you running towards the water. Instinct took over me and I ran towards the beach and the water, kicked off my shoes and socks and jumped in after you. I knew I had to save you." He said. "And Rei of course!" He added. "I saw the other boys coming to save you both and we decided that I would save you because I was closer to you. We were about to all get together, link our arms and swim to shore the best we could but then the waves were too strong and separated us. And then, we were washed up here." Then he let out a laugh. "And I must say, you really worried me when you wouldn't wake up. I tried CPR on you and it took a long time. Luckily, you coughed up the water but you didn't wake up after that. But then I noticed that you were slowly breathing and I was…" His voice started to crack. "…relieved."
Hikaru turned herself around and hugged him. She was crying herself. "I'm so sorry!" She looked up at him with a tear stained face. "I'm so sorry to have worried you and to have made you cry." She unrolled the sleeves and wiped away his tears. "I'm the worst." She then put her hand down. "But thank you Rin. Thank you for saving me."
"Why did you jump in there anyways?" Rin asked.
"I saw him in the water and wanted to save him. I don't know, something just came over me." Hikaru replied. "I don't even know how to swim as well as Nagisa, Haru or Makoto."
Rin hugged her closer. "It's alright. You wanted to save your friend. It's normal."
Hikaru smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, Rin. Thank you for everything."
Rin blushed again. "No…problem."
Hikaru rested her head against his chest and closed her eyes, falling asleep.
Rin smiled at Hikaru. He was so relieved that she was okay. He wouldn't know what he would do with himself if she wasn't. He was glad he was able to save her. He was embarrassed but he couldn't make himself let go. She felt safe in his arms and he didn't want to take that away. He then leaned back onto the cave wall and fell asleep with her in his arms.
Xxx
They had slept all through the night and into the early morning. The fire was put out and Hikaru was awake. Her capris were dry so she put them back on and she began taking Rin's clothes down. When Rin woke up, she smiled. "Good morning!"
Rin smiled back. "Morning."
"It's so nice out now." Hikaru said, going over to the entrance of the cave and looking out. "It's hard to believe there was a storm last night."
Rin walked up next to her, after having quickly changed. "Yeah, you're right."
Hikaru blinked. "Oh wow, the beach is pretty close. I can see it from here. We can just swim there."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? After what happened yesterday?" Rin asked.
"It'll be okay, right? I have you here with me." Hikaru smiled at him.
"I-I guess so." There she goes again, making him blush. "I'll be next to you if anything happens. I just need you to be really careful. I don't want you to drown again."
"I will be careful. I promise." Hikaru assured him.
Xxx
Hikaru collapsed on shore. "Oh my god." She panted. "It was so hard! But it's over and I did it."
Rin smiled at her. "You did it." He crouched down and put his hand on her back. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"HIKARU-CHAN!"
"HIKARU-SENPAI!"
Rin quickly move his hand away from her and looked over at Nagisa and Rei, who were running over to her.
Hikaru blinked and pushed herself up so that she was on her knees. She looked over and her eyes lit up. "Guys! You're okay!"
Nagisa ran into her arms and practically tackled her, which he probably did because she fell backwards onto the sand.
"Hey! Be careful!" Rin spat.
"Hikaru-chan you're okay! Oh thank goodness!" Nagisa pulled away. "Did you save her, Rin-chan?"
"Yeah." Rin answered, standing up.
Hikaru sat up and looked over at Rei, smiling. "I'm happy you're okay."
And with that, tears formed in Rei's eyes and he hugged her too. "I'm glad you're okay Hikaru-senpai. It was really brave of you to jump into the water to save me."
"Thank you!"
"We're happy you're okay." Makoto said.
"Yeah." Haru agreed.
The four boys looked over at Rin. "Thank you Rin."
Rin nodded at them. "You're…welcome."
With Nagisa's help, Hikaru stood up. "Come on, guys. We should go to the lodge and shower."
"Good idea, Hikaru-senpai."
"Can you manage, Hikaru-chan?"
"I-I don't think so."
Makoto crouched down. "Here. I'll carry you on my back."
Hikaru blushed. "It's alright, Makoto. I can try-"
"No trying." Makoto cut her off. "Get on my back and I will carry you."
"A-Alright."
"Let's get going!" Nagisa linked arms with Rei and began running to the lodge.
"N-Nagisa-kun!" Rei kept his balance and ran with Nagisa.
Haru smiled a little bit and followed them.
"Well then…let's get going." Makoto told her. "Hold on tight." He turned to Rin. "Bye Rin." He began running towards the lodge.
Hikaru held onto him and turned her head towards Rin. "I hope to see you more often!" She gave him a big smile.
Rin smiled to himself and walked back to where he was staying.
Yeah.
He wanted to see more of her too.
