Day 7: Exercising
Hot puffs turned to white clouds around his mouth, disappearing as quickly as they came. The sweat dripping down the back of his neck left icy streaks behind, cooled by the morning air. He wiped the back of his sleeve against his face, eyes on the trail ahead when he felt a body leaning over him.
Sousuke was draped over him, just as sticky and damp, but making it a little warmer. His short hair stuck against Rin's cheek and Rin pushed at his head, trying to get him off as he caught his breath. Sousuke released him and Rin looked over his shoulder making a gesture at the backpack behind him, chest still heaving.
He got the hint and his fingers went for the zipper, tugging it open. He grabbed one of their water bottles out of the bag and handed it to Rin. Rin nodded his thanks as he took a swig, holding the cool contents in his mouth a second before letting it slide down his throat. He felt like he could drink a gallon of water right then, but it wouldn't do him any good if he drank too much.
Without prompting Sousuke pulled out one of the towels and pressed it against Rin's forehead. Rin grabbed it with his other hand and dabbed it against the sides of his face too. Sousuke took the bottle from him and took a quick drink of it too before placing it back in the bag. Rin ran the towel along the back of his neck before handing it back to Sousuke. Sousuke just took an unused corner of dabbed along his hair line before putting it away.
Rin's breath finally started to calm down and he looked at Sousuke whose eyes were drooping, but aware of what was going on. Tired, but awake. His fingers went to the backpack and Rin felt the tug as he zipped it back up. When he was done they both started jogging, Rin's pace a little quicker than he preferred to start with.
It was easier for him to speed up than to try to make Sousuke's long legs slow down past their natural jogging gait. Where Sousuke had his length Rin had endurance, so he didn't mind. When they were coming up to their turn Rin grabbed onto Sousuke's shoulder and squeezed it, and Sousuke followed him as he rounded the corner. He let go of it when they were on the straight away and picked it up another notch, Sousuke speeding up, staying by his side every step of the way.
