Hello beautiful people of the world! This chapter is a lot shorter than the last but I'm expecting future chapters to be around this length. Not to mention nice and full of all those emotions I love so much. Also I didn't mention in the first place (but since copyright scares me and you never know) I do not own Free! Iwatobi Swim Club or any of its characters. And even if I did I don't have an Aquarium large enough to put Haru in.

Shit! What had he done? Sousuke's thoughts were panicked as he started jogging then running away from the train station. He couldn't believe he had hit Haru, and right in front of Tachibana too. Since when did he let his emotions control him like this? He knew he could be hot headed in the past but now he felt more out of control.

When he got pretty far he slowed down, ending up on a nearby beach and decided to sit down. Graduating was supposed to be the best time of his life and it seemed things were spiraling downwards and he knew it was his own fault. But he felt right with being mad, with how long they had been friends and everything they've been through Rin had still chosen Haru. He let the sound of the waves calm him a little when he heard his phone go off

Matsuoka Rin

I'm going to Haru's tonight, I won't be back till tomorrow.

He scoffed to himself, of course he'll be at Nanase's tonight. He laid down in the sand and wondered how Rin would react to Haru's inevitable bruise. He'd be mad, might even hate him. He closed his eyes letting the sounds smells of the ocean soothe him. He felt sorry for himself if he was being honest, he wished he could erase the entire day and do it over, why did he think telling him would do any good? He should have known they were dating, it was impossible to ignore the way he looked at him and how his free time was always spent in Iwatobi making excuses on how Haru had been helping him train. Sousuke was sure it wasn't a complete lie but he knew he wasn't telling the whole truth. Even with all the evidence Sousuke tried to ignore what his gut was telling him. He sat up and checked the time. Rin had probably already taken the last train to Iwatobi, he got up and started making his way back to Samezuka.

When he got back to his room it was dark, Rin would had definitely made it to Nanase's house. Which means their friendship was over, if it hadn't been already. He wondered when he would come back, they didn't have class the next day and wasn't sure if he would see him at all. He climbed on top of his bed and laid down pushing the thought out of mind. The last few hours had been exhausting and he was not in the mood to deal with all the emotions he was having. He decided to shut down his thoughts and feelings, worrying wouldn't solve anything and ignoring it was the next best thing. He stretched and rolled onto his side closing his eyes trying to lull himself to sleep.

The train ride and the walk home were mostly in silence, Makoto chiming in with questions as to what had happened and if something was going on between the two. Haru mostly shrugged and grumbled too irritated to want to talk. He occasionally touched his eye wincing at the pain.

"Make sure to ice that when you get inside." Makoto said stopping before entering his home.

"Yeah I know." Haru replied, while making his way up to his own house. He was still pissed with Sousuke's random freak out. He wanted to get home already and get in the bath, he knew being in water would make him feel better.

Makoto walked inside his house, it was fairly quiet and he assumed the twins were already in bed, he looked over to see his mother in the kitchen. "I'm home." he called to her, she turned around and smiled at her son.

"Did you have fun?" she asked, pouring herself some tea. She motioned the kettle toward him asking if he wanted some, he shook his head no.

"Yeah it was good to have everyone together, but I'm pretty tired so I think I'll head to bed." he made his way upstairs not waiting for his mother's reply. He wasn't going to get into everything that happened, there was too much to think about already without discussing it with his parent. Instead of going to sleep he decided to draw a bath. He immersed himself in the warm water and began to relax. He was so confused at why Yamazaki-san was so angry at Haru, it wasn't a secret that he didn't like him but Makoto never thought he would get violent. Maybe he should ask Rin. Or maybe it wasn't any of his business.

He sank more into the tub letting the warm later come up to his lips. He thought back to the party and catching Rin and Haru outside. He figured it out some time ago the feelings that Haru had for Rin probably before Haru knew himself, that's just how good of friends they were. He wanfelt selfish wanting to keep his best friend all to himself, maybe it was because he wanted to be more than friends. He remembered when Haru and him were kids and he felt like no two people could be closer. But he saw the way he looked at Rin, as if he were the ocean itself he knew he couldn't compare. Makoto sat up feeling dizzy from the heat, he finished washing up and headed to bed. The blankets felt cool against his warm skin as he climbed under them. He turned his head to his nightstand a framed picture of Haru and himself stared him down. He flipped it upside down for the to be happy for them but the sinking feeling in his stomach was growing. In that moment he
