*Hi. I hope you enjoy! Sorry it's pretty short.


Two)


Rin woke with a jolt.

He blinked slowly as he took in the familiar surroundings of his dorm room.

He couldn't hear Nitori sleeping, and some of the lights were on, so he assumed that he had already left. Rin sighed as he shifted, so that he was leaning against the wall while sitting on the bed. He stared at the wall across from him and, this time, groaned loudly as the memoires swarmed his mind.

Haru.

Damnit.

Why did his name, for fucks sake, cause his body… what's the word… tingle? And trust for everything to tingle.

Rin banged his head against the wall, frustrated causing a loud echoing sound to scatter across the room.

He didn't know what he felt for Haru, but either way, it was weird, and he didn't like it. Nope. Not one bit.

"Fuck it," Rin muttered as he finally got out of the bed.

He stretched his arms, feeling his muscles flex, and he smiled.

He had worked hard for these muscles, and it always felt great waking up with them just so you are reminded of how much effort you put in. It was almost as if he woke up every day and already had an accomplishment.

He wondered if Haru ever considered this…

Damnit. He was thinking of that water-loving freak again.

No, he probably doesn't. Because he doesn't swim for competition… no he swims for "no reason"… the "feel of the water". Because he "feels at home"… so no… those muscles just came from thatnothing! Now how the hell is that fair?

Rin curled his lips in distaste and tried to think of anything but Haru.

"Damnit!" Rin cried out in utter frustration, throwing his hands into the air.

Quickly, and thoughtlessly, Rin decided on a shower, and he grabbed some random clothes, before walking into the bathroom, pissed off at himself… and Haru.

…..

"Are you okay Rin?" Nitori's voice rang out in the locker room, due to the fact that they were the only ones in there.

Nitori had been talking to him for the past ten minutes, and at first when Nitori suspected that Rin wasn't listening, he had started to say random shit like, "I ate a llama the other day" or "I threw up money" and the only responses he had received were vague, slow nods.

So, finally, Nitori just sighed and straight out asked in what was wrong. Rin, in response to his question, just stared at him wordlessly, not giving anything away.

"Rin? Come on," Nitori said, actually pressing into the matter for one of the first times. Usually, he never really notices what's wrong or even if something is wrong with Rin, but today it was just so obvious that it was almost sad.

"Nothing," Rin responded, emotionlessly.

Nitori raised an eyebrow and continued to stare at Rin for a few more brief seconds, but finally he just sighed, defeated. He could see that Rin was not. Going. To. Talk.

"Fine," Nitori muttered. Rin kept his expression, but the other boy noticed him slowly nod. After that, it was pretty much deathly silent as they both got ready for swim practice.

"God damnit," Rin growled under his breath as he got out of the water. He grabbed the towel that Nitori was handing him and gave him a gruff "thanks", before cursing in his head again.

He was pissed off.

Why is it that all I can fucking think about it Haru?! Rin thought angrily. He just didn't understand why he was forced to endure all of these…these…thoughts about Haru!

And what made him more pissed off was that he was starting to figure out it wasn't just the simple love/hate thoughts that he was thinking.

No.

It definitely wasn't that simple.

When he started to randomly daydream about Haru naked during swim practice more than once, he was pretty much set with his own feelings.

He just didn't know how to fucking deal with it.

He blinked when, suddenly, an epiphany dawned upon him.

Just. Ignore. It.

Yes, that did seem like the right plan, right?

Rin just grunted in annoyance as he wrapped the towel around his body and stalked off towards the locker room. Nitori just followed silently, as he stared down at his shoes.


"Haru," Makoto urged, waking Haru up. Haru opened his eyes to see Makoto staring down at him, with a faint smile on his face. Haru frowned subtly, and looked down to see that he was still in the same place where he had fallen asleep in; the bathtub.

"You fell asleep in the bath again Haru. You shouldn't do that, you could drown," Makoto reprimanded.

"The water wouldn't hurt me," Haru stated emotionlessly, before standing up revealing his toned muscles and swimsuit. Makoto only sighed, handing him a towel, and then turning to leave. Haru watched him leave with wide eyes.

He turned around to plug the drain, but found himself entranced watching the water. A deep pain flashed in his heart as he remembered what Rin had said to him.

He's never going to swim with me again, he thought suddenly sad.

Haru pursed his lips, as he bent over and pulled the plug, letting the water be free.

Free.

Why aren't I free?

I finally let him beat me, thinking that maybe…just maybe it would all be normal again, but now all I feel is pain. Where's my freedom?

Haru was miserable, although he wouldn't admit it to anybody. Makoto, of course, noticed, being his best friend and all, but didn't say anything about it. He knew to give Haru his space, and Haru respected him for that.

He needed the space.

When the water was all gone, Haru blinked, tying the towel around his waist before disappearing into the home, away from the tub, and away from the water.

Also, away from the possibilities of sharks lurking in every drop of water.


*Hey again. Geez. I feel really bad about updating this first, since I am literally putting off my Fairy Tail stories... :O. Well, sorry this chapter is so short, and really I wasn't planning for the random POV of Haru. I wanted this to all be Rin, but I felt that if I continued with Rin's POV, it would have just been repeating itself over and over again. But quick question: do you like Haru's POV as well, or would you prefer just Rin? Okay, well thanks for reading! :)

Bai guys.
