Testing the Waters

Author: Pixelated Optimism

Her growth spurt started to fuck his life.

Rin was a sucker for surprises.

Fuck, that was an understatement, he hated surprises.

Like for instance, when he learned that Haru was shopping for suits on the same fucking mall, or that stupid Halloween prank Nagisa pulled when they were kids, or Gou sneaking behind his back one stormy night ages ago, or learning Haru would be in the relay, or Nakagawa jumping from his closet and ending up with a split lip and sixteen stitches, or that pool filled with cherry blossoms thing Haru and the rest of the Iwatobi gang did, and Mikoshiba-buchou suddenly picking him up to be Samezuka's Captain.

For heaven's sake, he could've killed someone by accident.

So when he spun around and saw a familiar smirk, it took almost an eternity before he was able to find his voice, let alone stop the urge of slamming the fucking fishbowl on his face.

"Sousuke."

Gou peered from behind; Sousuke's massive back perfectly hiding her, grinning.

"Tadaa." he drawled, looking at Gou with an unusual glint in his teal eyes. Gou looked back and giggled.

"Sousuke-kun was around so I decided to invite him." she beamed. Rin sighed for the nth time.

She needed to stop inviting random people over.

"There's really no need for this shit." he groaned "We're dorm mates."

"Don't spoil the fun, Rin." Sousuke drawled as Gou pushed him inside the house "The last time I was here, Gou-chan was fretting over her first perio—"

"Don't say embarrassing things!" Gou snapped, jumping on his back.

"You're a lot heavier now." he remarked. Scarlet cheeked, Gou stuck her tongue out.

"I've grown taller too, you know."

"Not so tall that you can reach me." he said, taking both of her legs and guiding them to wrap around his slim waist "I'm still way taller."

She laughed. Rin didn't.

"Is there something wrong?" Rin asked. Gou jumped off Sousuke's back and led the way to the sitting room with the two of them hot on her trail. Only then did Rin realize she was wearing a large Samezuka jersey.

"Oh, nothing much. Just checked out Iwatobi, that's all." Sousuke shrugged, jersey-less.

What the bloody hell.

Chirping on how her beloved Sousuke-kun ended up showing on the Iwatobi Swim Club all of a sudden, Gou happily settled herself between them on the couch and took off Sousuke's large jersey. Feeling suddenly light-hearted about this fact, Rin leaned back, but only to gag and sit straight at the sight before him.

She was already on her pajamas, thin enough to make him see the material underneath. For perverted hormone enraged boys this would probably be good news, but to someone perverted hormone enraged big brother like him this was making things worse. Rin knew well that Gou didn't wear any brassiere whenever she was home, and those unnatural bounce she had was pulling down his eyes and making it stay there. What was worse than ogling her chest was that he wanted no more than unbuttoning her pajamas and—

"Did you just run straight to Iwatobi wearing nothing but that?" Rin blanched. Gou looked back innocently.

"Well, I was getting ready for our movie marathon when Rei-kun phoned me and told me Sousuke-kun's on school so I half-ran my way up there." she answered.

Rin gave Sousuke his best lethal death glare.

"Did you just realize what you've done?" Rin spat. Gou sighed. Sousuke reached for his head and patted him with one big hand, perching his chin on top of Gou's head.

"Now now, Onii-chan. I got it all covered, don't worry" he smiled. Rin growled. Sousuke's smile grew wider when Rin's eyes followed his free hand circling on his baby sister's waist, thumbing the last little button of her pajama shirt.

Rin coughed.

"L-Let's watch some movies, G-Gou." he managed to sputter a few coherent words before Gou clapped her hands and jumped off the couch, animatedly talking about the movies she wanted to drool through the night.

"That sister complex of yours is getting out of hand." Sousuke casually remarked. Rin tried his best to keep his cool.

"For crying out loud, Sousuke."

This would be a very, very long night.

Gomenasai.

I've signed myself to our university school paper and currently doing a thesis now while juggling so yeah, found it hard to squeeze time, not to mention I am experiencing consecutive wtf moments. This is a bit made hurriedly.

Good thing Momotarou is so cute and that Sousuke makes pools of drool come out of my mouth.

Did I mention Sousuke made my ovaries explode?

So I'm throwing them all in.

And Mako was standing beside Gou in that credits thing and he won that muscle contest where Gou was the judge. Is this some kind of clue, KyoAni?

Make me happy, leave a crazy review.
