A/N: Sorry that it's late. I've been very lazy and finishing up Attack on Titan. And hanging out with my friends. But here it is. I hope you like it.
Chapter 4
3 months later
I and Sempai joined the swim team three months ago and, surprisingly, Sosuke was leaving me alone. I think that Sempai beating him up did the trick. Another odd thing was that Rin-sempai was always around me. He always sat by me at lunch, followed me around during swimming practice, he even stares at me in class. When I would look at him, he would blush and smirk and look away. I was happy and worried at the same time. I was happy that Sempai was noticing me, but I was worried that it was stopping him from focusing on more important things like school and swimming.
"Ai, are you okay?" Rin-sempai asked me. Oh, another odd thing that happened over the months was that he was calling me Ai instead of Nitori. But I am not complaining. I've been wanting him to call me that for a while now.
"Yes, I'm fine." I said with a blush. He smirked at me and I blushed more. Sometimes, I wish I could just hide my face from him sometimes.
"You're such a messy kid." He said as he kissed the edge of my mouth. I must have had some rice stuck to my face. My nose started to bleed and I grabbed a nearby napkin and wiped my nose before he could see. After he got the rice of my face I gave him a "surprised" look. "What? I was just getting the rice off of your face." Rin-sempai said as he smirked. The bell had rung and everyone was leaving the cafeteria in an orderly fashion. Before I knew it, my Sempai grabbed my tray and threw it away.
Days had passed. We went to many relays and participated in many swimming events. Rin-sempai always got first place while I got only into second or third place. I was beginning to feel very useless. Like nobody would care if I were to leave the swim team. But Sempai would always say that I have endurance unlike anyone else on the team. It seemed he was always there for me at any bad situation that happened. I wish I had more friend like him.
On a hot Friday afternoon, Rin-sempai left me a note on my desk and told me to meet him in the library after class had let out. The library was usually empty in the afternoon since it was used for studying purposes. I got more nervous with each step I took. My face was red and my palms were shaky and sweaty. I felt like running away when I reached the doorway to the library. Every nerve I had told me to run away. What if the letter was from Sosuke and not Rin? Sosuke was in class and Rin-sempai was nowhere to be seen at the time. I opened the door quietly and saw Rin-sempai looking out of the window.
"There you are. I was thinking that you would never make it. Could you lock the doors real quick?" He asked me. I did what he wanted me to do and more thoughts were rushing through my head. Was going to rape me or kill me?!
"W-what is it that y-you want, Sempai?" I asked nervously. He gave me his sexy smirk and walked over to me.
"Let's go over to the bookshelves, I want to ask you something." He said as he grabbed my hand and led me over to one of the many bookcase.
"What is it, Sempai?" I asked once more. He blushed and sighed.
"Ai, will you um…go out with me?" He said looking away with a blush on his. I was in shock that it took me a few minutes to answer his question.
"Um er uh…y-y-yes." I said quietly. Rin-sempai was in shock. He probably expected me to say no. He grabbed my chin and traced his thumb over my lips. My face was a dark red.
"Now that we're dating, does this mean I get to kiss you?" He asked. But before I could enter. The librarian opened the once locked door and had a look of regret from opening the door.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you two, but this is not a make-out point. This is reserved for studying only!" He said, well yelled at Rin-sempai and I. Everyone thought he was a homophobic prick. Rin-sempai grabbed my hand and led me out of the library.
"I'm sorry, I should've been aware of the time." Rin-sempai apologized to me in the elevator.
"It's all right. I didn't really wanted to have my first kiss in a dusty old library anyway." I replied with an embarrassed look.
"Wait, you haven't had your first kiss yet?" Rin-sempai asked with a surprised look.
"Nope, I haven't. Everyone thought I was a nerd and wouldn't go out with me." I answered honestly.
"You didn't look like a nerd in my opinion. You looked very nice and sweet." He said with as he rubbed my head.
"How would you know how I looked when I was younger?" I asked. I didn't own any yearbooks and this was my first year in Samezuka Academy.
"I remember you from the Swimming meet when I was in Elementary school. You were the one with the pink jacket and large forehead, right?" He asked.
"I had…a large forehead?" I asked. My forehead wasn't that bad, was it? When we got out of the elevator, we headed straight to our dorm room. Rin went straight to the bathroom and I did something I had always wanted to do. I jumped onto his bed and smelt his pillow. Smelling his pillow was like smelling the most amazing cologne, it was sheer bliss.
"Ai, what are you doing?" He asked as he got out of the bathroom. I jumped off the bed in embarrassment, hoping he didn't see me smelling his pillow.
"Um, nothing. I just saw a crumb on your bed is all and it was bugging me." I lied as I rubbed the back of my head.
"Yeah, sure. I don't even eat in here and my sheets were washed this morning." He said smiling and walking back into the bathroom.
*Spoiler alert: There will be kissing in the next chapter. :3
