This feeling was strange, so foreign to him. Haruka placed his hand over his heart trying to calm the rapid beating against his rib-cage and his face felt heated. Why? Why did the site of this boy stir up so many emotions. A hand smacked against the pools side, watching the boy remove his goggles those vibrant emerald green eyes captivated him. Unable to look away Haruka watched as other's helped the boy out of the pool.

Accepting a towel from one of the other swimming students the boy smiled while he walked towards him. Haruka felt his body stiffen unable to move, unable to breath Haruka stood there. As the boy passed Haruka felt as if they were the only two in the world at that moment.

Watching the boy walk into the locker room Haruka quickly went to have a turn swimming in the pool. The water would heal him tell him what was wrong with him why his heart seemed to skip a beat and his face heated at the sight of the boy.

But the water was silent. Unable to answer him Haruka asked his Grandmother at dinner while watching some sort of comedy show. His small hands holding the fabric close to his heart, holding onto it for dear life Haruka told his Grandmother how he felt. How his heart felt as if it would bust out of his chest and continue to beat. How his cheeks burned may it be from embarrassment or shame Haruka could not tell between the two. His Grandmother only smiled before placing one of her frail shaky and slightly calloused hands over Haruka's other hand which had turned into a small fist on the table.

Haruka asked why it felt as if he would die, his Grandmother chuckled before her words fell from her lips. "You're in love Haruka. One glance and that was all it took for your heart to know that this boy is the only one for it."

"Haruka..." the sound of Makoto's voice pulled Haruka out of his slumber rubbing his sleep filled eyes while Makoto held out a small bottle of water. Thanking him Makoto took a seat down next to him. It was another hot summer day but neither of the two felt like walking to the beach due to the heat. Haruka felt a bit sad that not even he felt like walking in the high afternoon heat.

Greedily drinking the water that Makoto had given him Haruka laid back down on his side watching Makoto take a seat next to him. A nice view of the garden seemed to help the two fight the heat somehow. Moving to lean against Makoto instantly drew a small whine from the brunet. "Haaaaru! Its too hot to be doing this! Please lay back down."

Haruka smiled. Even till this day Makoto has the same effect on his heart, the wild beating making him feel as if he might die while leaving his face a burning mess for Makoto to fix. Chuckling Haruka took to laying his head on Makoto's lap, blinking Makoto asked. "What are you laughing at Haruka? One of Nagisa's daily jokes?"

Haruka shook his head no. "No...a memory. One that changed my life." Makoto blushed asking Haruka what it was but Haruka refused to tell him shaking his head no telling Makoto he would tell him one day. Another small whine filled Haruka's ears while his grip on reality slowly started to fade away.

One glance...that was all it took for him to fall in love. Love at first sight. Such a overused term- but Haruka's okay with that. Just one glance at Makoto and his body would be put on high alert. Makoto was the only one to set this sort of fire off in his body, Rin being the one to stoke the fire in his heart for swimming but - Makoto - he would always set fire to his heart.

Once glance. Just one glance.

And that was all it took for Haruka to fall in love.
