Warning: lemon ahead (finally)

Gou blew her whistle for the final time and thankfully let it drop to her chest. Haru burst out of the water and flicked his hair several times to get rid of the excess water. Almost as soon as he clambered out of the pool, he noticed that Rin was lounging on one of the seats; apparently pretending to be asleep.

"What's Rin-chan doing here?" Makoto inquired curiously as a soaking Nagisa immediately took it upon himself to head over and jump on the all-too-dry Rin. Rin made an annoyed noise as he tumbled to the ground; the little blonde boy having tackled him from his seat.

"I'm running home with him," Haru replied simply as he headed for the showers whilst catching Rin's gaze as the redhead fought to remove Nagisa from him. Unfortunately, the blonde was gripping him tight like some kind of barnacle.

"Okay," Makoto smiled, "I'll be around in the morning to get you up for school." Haru just nodded at him slightly as he went to change. Makoto looked over at Rin for a moment and caught the redhead's gaze lingering on Haru's back before noticing that the brunette had caught him staring. Red eyes blinked guiltily and looked away; having to laugh as Nagisa started tickling him.

"Niichan! You came to pick me up!" Gou exclaimed in delight as he finally managed to get off the ground.

"I'm running home with Haru, actually," Rin replied guiltily.

"What?" Gou complained, "But his house isn't even –"

" –I'll walk you home?" Makoto offered from over where he was going for a shower, "If you like?" Gou looked over at him; her eyes lighting up as she drank in his beautiful body. Wordlessly, she nodded and Rin rolled his eyes with a warning glare over at Makoto.

"See you guys later!" Nagisa waved as Rin and Haru headed off for their run home. He pouted to himself, as he spied Gou getting ready to leave out of earshot. "…But why isn't Haru-chan walking Gou-kun home? He's letting Mako-chan walk her home instead?"

"Well that would just be too obvious if he walked her home, wouldn't it?" Makoto pointed out with a smile to placate the little blonde. Nagisa sighed; acknowledging that Makoto was right.

"…Why don't we just tell them?" Haru inquired as they jogged. Rin looked away guiltily.

"…I…I just don't want them to know yet," he muttered, "I mean…What would they think? We're both guys; and we're on different teams…and I just…don't know…It could get complicated?"

"What's so complicated?" Haru commented flatly, "I like you and you like me –"

" –Don't say that so loud!" Rin snapped crossly, "People might hear!"

"You weren't so bothered when you kissed me at the aquatic centre last week," Haru pointed out and noticed that Rin's face was pink from something other than the fact that they were running.

"…I couldn't help it…" he admitted in an embarrassed mutter, "I forgot myself, okay? I just…I don't know what people will say." Haru sighed. There was really nothing about the situation that was complicated, but if Rin was insecure, then he was willing to let him wait. He wanted to tell their friends; just so it wasn't a big secret. Keeping it a secret made him feel like they were doing something wrong; and how could something be wrong when it felt so right?

"Haru? Could I borrow a shirt?" Rin called out as he finished having a shower, "Nitori spilt sauce on me at lunch today –" he was mid-way through his sentence as he entered into Haru's room to find that the other teenager was still getting changed; having been staring dreamily out his window for a considerable amount of time. Haru's bright eyes looked over at him expectantly before nodding and brushing past him to head towards the kitchen. Not long after, Rin smelt the familiar scent of cooking mackerel.

"…I've made dinner," Haru informed him; not bothering to look over his shoulder; just knowing that Rin had entered the room. Dinner was normal; they chatted like usual; well, Rin talked and Haru commented when appropriate. There was a swim meet soon and both of their teams were looking forward to competing.

In reality, Haru was a little distracted by pretty much everything Rin did. It was the way he licked his lips; the way he brushed his hair back off his face; the way he was sitting so casually…he swallowed nervously; shivering slightly and pressing his knees together as he sat.

"Something wrong?" Rin inquired curiously and Haru shook his head; though that was a lie. More and more recently, he'd been feeling very strange whenever he was alone with Rin. He hadn't known what had gotten into him the other day when Nitori had almost walked in on them; he'd just wanted to touch Rin and wanted him to touch him back. And now everything that he did reminded him of that.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" Rin offered with a raised eyebrow; sensing that there was something up with Haru but not sure what it was. He saw a short nod as the blue-eyed boy got up and cleared away their plates.

Not too much later, they were perched on the couch; Rin sprawled out comfortably with Haru practically lying on his chest. It was a movie they'd both seen a couple of times but it was enjoyable enough. But slowly, Rin's attention was drawn to the fact that one of Haru's hands was ever-so-slowly making its way down his chest. Wondering if this was intentional or accidental, he swallowed and subtly began sliding his left hand down Haru's back; fingers applying slightly more pressure than was strictly necessary.

Haru, having obviously picked up the deliberate motion, looked up and found Rin's eyes gazing down at him. Licking his lips, he leaned up to accept the kiss that was pressed to his lips as he slowly slid his hand past Rin's waistband and into his pants. Rin's breath hitched slightly at the feel of Haru's soft hands against his sensitive skin and he dragged him up so that he was perched in his lap; one of his hands roughly groping his ass and the other sliding down his taut abdomen.

" –Haru…" Rin whispered; feeling Haru's hand suddenly beginning to work at stroking his member to life. Haru said nothing but let out a surprised hiss as he began feeling the same sensation. Their lips met again; the movie forgotten as Rin slid his tongue into Haru's waiting mouth. Heat pooling in Rin's gut, he felt his cheeks turning red as he felt himself growing steadily more aroused; especially as Haru used his free hand to clutch desperately at his shirt.

"…Shall we move this?" he managed to breathe; not waiting for an answer. He grabbed Haru and wrapped his legs around his waist; carrying him swiftly to his bedroom and pressing his back to his bed.

Instantly their lips were connected again; Rin tearing off his shirt and hungrily devouring Haru's kisses; his sharp teeth nipping at his plump lips but receiving no complaint.

Rin's hands travelled in opposite directions; one pushing up Haru's shirt and the other diving down into his pants to continue to stroke his cock. Haru bucked his hips up into his hand and arched his back with a gasp as rough lips descended onto one of his nipples; sucking and tonguing the sensitive nub until it was hard. Rin could feel aroused hands gripping his red hair roughly and heard breathy gasps escaping from the other boy.

"…Do you like that…Haru?" he whispered; running soft kisses across his chest and feeling himself growing even more aroused as he looked up and saw Haru's glazed, lidded eyes looking down at him. There was a brief nod before Haru arched back again; biting his lip. Rin's eyes gleamed; he wasn't about to let Haru go quiet on him.

"…If you like it…don't hold your voice back," he growled; biting down gently on the other boy's neck and sucking hard; making Haru moan quietly; his eyes rolling back as Rin teased the tip of his erection.

"Hnn…Nnn….Riin…" Haru moaned softly; his hands coursing up Rin's toned, muscled back with desire to tangle in his messy hair. He found himself parting his legs; allowing Rin to settle between them; their arousals colliding through their clothing. Rin pulled back slightly, giving Haru time to unashamedly pull of his shirt. Before they settled back down again, Rin felt something tugging on his pants and discovered that Haru was leaning forwards and had swiftly undone them.

"Haru; you don't –" Rin tried to say, but it was too late. His hot erection hit the cool evening air and he could already feel the warmth of Haru's breath against it. Apparently the blue-eyed boy was wondering how best to proceed, because he paused before lightly kissing the tip. He looked up deliberately; eyes locked with Rin's gaze as he slowly began taking his erection into his mouth.

Rin threw back his head with a soft moan as he felt warmth engulfing him. Slowly, Haru began to bob his head up and down; soft lips adjusting to the unfamiliar sensation. His tongue slid up against the hot, pulsing flesh and he felt it twitch in his mouth; taking it in a little deeper and reaching up to stroke what he couldn't quite fit. He moaned a little, eyes closing as he started to enjoy himself. Rin felt the vibrations around his cock and couldn't help his hips from bucking forwards slightly. He risked a look down and almost came at the erotic sight of Haru on his knees with his lips wrapped around him; saliva dripping down his lips and blue eyes glinting with desire.

Reluctant, but desperately needing to cool down slightly, Rin grabbed Haru and pulled him off his cock; pushing him back down to the bed and dragging his pants (and swimsuit) off in one motion; leaving him laid bare on the bed before him. Haru was panting quietly; licking his lips and his cheeks flushed red. The redhead leaned down again to kiss him passionately; his skin burning with every touch; their erections brushing together pleasurably. It was driving him mad; he needed more. He softly slid his hand up to Haru's mouth and slid several of his fingers inside as he sucked viciously at his neck. He could feel Haru's hot tongue coating his fingers in saliva and he was reminded of how good that tongue had felt on his cock.

Deliberately, so that Haru had plenty of time to protest, he slid this hand down between them; trailing across his aching erection and dipping lower to gently circle his entrance. Haru's breath hitched and he gave a short nod.

Kissing him again to distract him, Rin began slowly pressing a finger into him; working at loosening the puckered ring of muscles with first one digit and then adding another. Haru began moaning into their kisses; hands clutching at Rin's shoulders and kissing him even harder.

Suddenly, as Rin's fingers plunged deep into him, he arched backwards with a whimper of Rin's name. Surprised, Rin repeated the motion and received the same response. He began thrusting his fingers in a little faster, until he had Haru shaking and writhing beneath him; grinding against his hand to continue the pleasure he was getting from being penetrated.

As Haru clutched as the sheets; knowing he was close, Rin withdrew his fingers, apparently satisfied with his work. Haru let out a long, intense breath.

"…Haru…are you sure?" Rin asked quietly; hands either side of Haru's head and practically begging for him to look him in the eye. He gave a soft thrust of his hips up against him to indicate just exactly what he wanted him to be sure of. Haru paused for a moment.

"Of course," he replied softly, "…I want you too." With a quick kiss, Rin got up and slid his pants off; turning his back to fumble for something in his nearby bag. In a moment, he was back, tearing open a condom and rolling it on carefully. Haru raised a questioning eyebrow but Rin just shrugged and rested his weight back on him. He felt something cold against his hot arousal and hissed, but it was just Haru stroking some lube onto him; having apparently procured it while he was busy getting a condom.

Haru winced a little as he felt something thick and blunt pushing into him, and his hands gripped Rin's hair tightly as he spread his legs wide. Rin could see Haru's eyes crinkled in pain as he slowly began pressing his length inside him, but there was no vocal complaint.

"…You feel so…so good…" Rin whispered; his voice haggard and dripping with lust. Haru was clenching so tightly around him and he was having to grip the sheets tightly to prevent himself from bucking his hips up into him before Haru was ready. After a laboriously long moment, he was fully sheathed, and Haru's hands fell loosely to his sides to fist his blankets. Immediately, Rin replaced them around his neck.

"No…I want you to hold me," he growled softly; nipping his neck and pulling out of him; only to slam back in again; aiming for the same spot that he knew would make him see stars.

The first few thrusts were painful. Haru didn't know why people enjoyed doing this if it hurt so much. There were tears in his eyes, but from the erotic, pleasured look on Rin's face, he was feeling really, really good; and that was all that mattered to Haru. He was happy that he could make him look that way.

And then Rin slammed into him in that spot and Haru let out a long, loud moan; his legs tightly clamping around the redhead's waist; demanding him to repeat the action. Stars danced before his eyes and the pleasure began to mount as the redhead rolled his hips slowly; almost romantically. Haru looked up into Rin's red eyes and gasped at the soft expression he saw. His eyes were glittering like stars as he sensually slid out from Haru's entrance and then slammed back in; causing him to arch up with a gasp.

With a triumphant grin, Rin wrapped his arms around Haru's lithe form; thrusting deep into him and causing him to arch up once more; moaning and whimpering his name in all kinds of fantastic ways. Slowly, as their lips met for hungry kisses, Rin's hips began moving harder; faster. Each wave of pleasure for Haru caused his inner walls to clamp a little harder on Rin's cock, and this spurred him on; his pace increasing as he slammed into him hard.

Haru spread his legs wider; opening up to Rin and welcoming him even deeper. He could feel every throb of the hot object inside him and he clutched at the broad shoulders above him. His body was sweaty and steaming and his heart was racing so fast it felt like it could burst.

"Nnn…Ohhhhh Rin…Rin…faster…I need more…" Haru moaned; desperately trying to force himself down on his cock even more but unable to keep up with the pace. Skin slapped fiercely against skin as Rin pounded towards orgasm. Haru shook beneath him, but then suddenly Rin's world was flipped as he was forced onto his back so that Haru was settled in his lap.

Not missing a beat, Haru began rising and then lowering himself back onto Rin's cock; feeling it being sucked deep into him by his greedy ass. He moaned; looking Rin dead in the eye as the redhead thrust up against him. Arms looped around Rin's neck and their lips met for another sloppy, lust-filled kiss. Rin ran his arms down Haru's sweaty, muscled back and threw his head back with a low moan at the sight of Haru in his lap; riding him. Hard.

"…Haru…yes…Nnnn…" Rin whispered softly; feeling himself growing closer and closer to release. He wrapped a hand around Haru's neglected erection and began stroking it firmly as he thrust up into him. The doubled stimulation caused Haru's eyes to widen; stars and white clouding his vision, and after a few thrusts he came abruptly across their chests; biting down on Rin's neck to muffle his moans. The sheer intensity of his orgasm completely drained him and his entire body felt light as he continued to impaled himself to drive Rin to release.

Unable to hold back with Haru's inner walls clenching around his cock deliciously; Rin slammed into him a few more times; gripping him tightly. As he came; Haru held his neck; staring intimately into his eyes; moaning a little as he felt Rin riding out his orgasm.

Exhausted, Rin collapsed backwards against the headboard of the bed with Haru on his chest. Haru blinked in discomfort as he felt Rin's slowly softening cock slip out of him, but looked up at the flushed expression on the redhead.

That face Rin had made when he had come was seared into his memory; the face that was because of him.

Rin reached up and brushed Haru's hair off his face; pulling him in for a brief kiss.

"Thank you," he murmured quietly; remembering the trust and pleasure in those beautiful blue eyes; remembering his gasps and the look of absolute euphoria he had worn whilst being connected with him. "…That was the best sight I ever could've hoped for."

Haru sighed quietly; sliding down his chest and flopping onto the bed languidly. Rin chuckled; grabbing a nearby towel and wiping the pair of them down briefly.

Haru smiled softly as he felt Rin lie down beside him; feeling arms wrap around him and a hot chest pressing to his back. A kiss was laid on his neck as they lay there in quiet bliss.

"It's always only ever been you," Haru murmured quietly as a gentle confession of how he knew he had always felt. Ever since they'd first met, Rin was the only person he'd had eyes for; the person he had longed to swim with and longed to be with. He had been his aim; he had been the person who had made him feel. The person that deep in his heart, he loved; and the person who was his rival.

All Rin said was all he needed to say.

"I know. Me too."

Rin woke first; finding that in the middle of the night Haru had rolled over and was snuggled up against his chest comfortably; arm draped across his naked torso. With a sleepy sigh, Rin ran a hand through Haru's hair affectionately; seeing blue eyes open and look up at him; wincing as he moved.

"Morning," Rin commented cheekily; wrapping his arms around him in a greeting hug; his expression one of absolute elation at the memory of what had happened last night. Whatever happened from now on; he had been the first person that Haru let touch him like that; and that memory; that sight...those feelings...were with him forever.

Haru graced him with one of his slight smiles before leaning up and kissing him gently on the cheek; tracing the small hickey that Rin was now sporting because of him.

There was a knock at the door.

"Haru-chan! I'm coming in!" Makoto's voice called from the front door. Rin's eyes widened in horror and he instantly scrambled out of bed to put his clothes on.

"Stall him!" Rin hissed hotly as Haru yawned and slowly began getting out of bed.

"I'm getting changed," Haru called back flatly as Makoto obviously went to check the bath first.

"Okay; I'll wait for you in the kitchen," Makoto informed him, "We're going to be late for school…"

"Crap…" Rin grumbled crossly; struggling with his shoes and trying to pull on one of Haru's shirts at the same time. He checked his reflection in the mirror and cursed again. Yeah; he looked like he'd been up to mischief.

"Haru-chan? Who's there?" Makoto inquired curiously.

"Rin," Haru replied as Rin groaned; facepalming. This situation couldn't possibly be any worse. Of course Makoto would be showing up to make sure Haru actually went to class. "He stayed over last night."

"Oh?" Makoto remarked as Rin finally emerged from Haru's room; grabbing the first jacket he spotted and heading for the living room, "Morning, Rin-chan!"

"Hey Makoto," Rin remarked slightly awkwardly, and trying to find a reason for why he was there, "Um…We were hanging out yesterday and it got late so I stayed. Haru was…he was uh…worried…yeah; about the big meet in a few weeks. He was…" He blinked guiltily and tried to smooth his hair a little, "…Um; he was worried about the relay –yeah; the relay; worried about how you guys would react if you lost because he couldn't catch up on the last leg…" He tried for a smile but had the feeling that it came off looking guilty. "I thought I'd give him some tips, yeah…"

"That sure was good of you," Makoto chuckled to himself.

"Anyway…I have to go to school," Rin remarked; hurriedly adjusting his bag and heading for the door, "Bye Haru! Thanks for…thanks for last night…" On that note, he promptly bolted.

"Bye, Rin," Haru called back; making an appearance in the living room and Makoto refusing to let him grill some mackerel because they were definitely going to be late.

"What was Rin thanking you for?" he asked conversationally as they began walking to school; Haru seeming to walk a little stiffer than usual.

" –Oh…" Haru frowned, "…He was worried…about the relay…too…" He averted his eyes; knowing that Makoto would sense the lie but not press him for information. Makoto just laid a friendly hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"I'm sure he has nothing to worry about," he assured him with one of his sincere Makoto smiles. There was a moment of silence between them. "…And Haru? You don't have anything to worry about either. We all love you no matter what; you know that, right?"

"I know," Haru replied; wondering if Makoto was really just talking about the lie that Rin had told about him worrying over the relay.

"…Also…Haru-chan?" Makoto inquired cheekily after another pause, "…Why are you wearing a Samezuka jacket?" Haru just looked away and didn't answer; knowing he was blushing slightly. Rin had obviously grabbed the wrong one as he was leaving; but he wasn't complaining. He liked this one. It smelt like Rin.

Ahh; thank you for being ever-so-patient! My wonderful followers will know by now that I do make them wait for their smut! But I hope it was worth the wait! Hope you liked; hope you review; hope you stick around for the last chapter or two! (Oh cute, that rhymed!)

And Makoto; you cutie.

Much love, my bunnies.
