Sousuke's POV:

Again, I wake up in complete darkness. Only this time, I'm in a bed, without shackles, and in one body. And I remember everything. How could I forget? I thought to myself. I had made a contract with Claude in the desperate state I was when I heard that Rin was going to quit swimming. I smirked to myself, thinking that Rin was and will be the only one to break my mask. All my calm and stoicness broke upon hearing those words come out of Rin's mouth. Rin can't quit swimming. It's the one thing that truly makes Rin happy. I knew that Rin was my Achilles' heel. And I was positive that Claude knew this too.

Claude's POV:

Sousuke seemed to have recovered his memories as soon as he was joined with his soul. All that was left now was to break him. Just like Alois, I thought.

Rin's POV:

I look at Nitori fumbling with his jacket and sigh. "Really, Ai. Can you not jip up a jacket?" I tease him gently, not wanting to upset the rather sensitive child. Nitori pouts, messing even more with his jacket zipper. "Senpai, if you stare at me like that I can't concentrate!" With those words, I experience a flashback.

Flashback:

Rin and Sousuke are in the boy's locker room, changing into swim suits.

"Sousukeeeee! My swimsuit won't work! I think I broke it!" Rin breaks out in sobs.

"Matsuoka Rin, I'm pretty sure you can't BREAK a swinsuit. And stop crying."

"I'm- I'm not CRYING!" Rin spits indignantly.

Sighing, Sousuke helps Rin with his swimsuit. "It's ok to cry sometimes you know."

Flashback end:

"SENPAIIIIIIIIIIIIII?"

Shit. Did I blank out again? I have been having these flashbacks quite often. Maybe I miss him, I mused. "Yah Nitori?"

"Senpai, we need to go practice. Our joint practice is in two days!"

I laughed out how enthusiastic Nitori was. He would make a good captain once I graduated. That's not too far now, I thought. Soon, Haru, Makoto, and I would leave our fellow swimmers. I'll miss them too, I thought.

Author's Note: SENPAIIIIIIIIIII (IDK if I like this whole first person POV deal. I think it's easier to write in third person.)
