Fourteen)

(Haru's POV)

Things had been pretty hectic recently. Ever since he woke up, it wasn't just the things going on around him that were hectic, but his mind as well. He was hectic, but that didn't make any sense.

All he knew was that everything was hectic. He got discharged from the hospital after two weeks. He had broken quite a few things and he needed to stay in hospital care, but that didn't really matter the most. What mattered was the fact that Rin visited him every day.

Because they were friends.

Haru hated that word, but he didn't necessarily know why. He assumed it was because he liked Rin as more than a friend, but then he remembered that he also sort of hated him right now. The jackass took away his freedom and that wasn't fair to him. Why did he have to do that?

Rin would talk about everything. Neither one of them every mentioned anything else outside of their newly formed bubble of "friendship". They talked about swimming, friends, stories, and the future. Haru's future was something he never really thought about. He just can't see any clear image like Rin can. Rin can see it. He sees himself in the Olympics and becoming a world-class swimmer. Meanwhile, Haru has absolutely no idea.

It's frustrating, but Haru supposes that it's nice that Rin has himself figured out. He doesn't really know. He hates him but loves him like a friend, right?

Haru sighs. That doesn't make sense.

He's snapped out of his reverie by the phone ringing. He just got home and it's like seven in the morning, and yet someone is already calling him? He hauls himself off the couch and walks to pick it up.

"Hello?" he asked, even though he knows it was Nagisa calling by the user ID.

"Haru-chan!" Nagisa exclaimed. Haru winces. It is way too early for this.

"Why are you calling me, Nagisa?" he asked, politely of course. Nagisa is his friend regardless of how much he just wants to go back and lie down on his couch to continue watching What Lies Beneath the Sea.

"Hi, Haru-chan! So do you want to come to a theme park tomorrow! It'll be really fun, I swear!"

"Uhm-"

"Okay yay! Makoto will pick up around three tomorrow. See you soon, Haru-chan!" Nagisa said before hanging up leaving Haru to listen to the dial tone. Uh…what? Haru sighed. Of course Nagisa wouldn't really let him get out of this.

Haru walks back to his couch, getting prepared for his show to come on, wincing a bit as he sits down too quickly. He's still in pain so that's a good reason for him to miss today, right? He can't even swim so why would he want to walk?

But honestly, why does he want to swim?

Haru shakes his head. That's ridiculous. He always wants to swim.

But why? That little voice in the back of his head asked and Haru frowned. How was he supposed to know? He didn't know. Why is he supposed to know everything?

His phone buzzes in his pocket and he takes it out, seeing that it's Makoto asking if he really is going to go tomorrow and if three was an okay time if so. Haru just texted back a "it's fine" and put his phone back in his pocket.

When his show finally starts, Haru watches with fascinated interest, but when a shark comes on, Haru frowns.

Rin knows what he's going to do with his life.

Or at least what he wants to do.

Like whoa. That's a really amazing, cool thing…and Haru doesn't have a clue.

He likes to swim, right? So he could do something in that area, right?

No? Why isn't this easier?

Haru sighed and closed his eyes, completely disregarding his favorite show.

The thing is that he wants to know what he wants to do with his life, but honestly, he has no idea what he's supposed to do. What is he supposed to do?

What is he supposed to do?

(Rin's POV)

Why was he here? Honestly. Why did he let Makoto talk him into doing this? Why why is he here?

Rin stares at Haru's door in uncertainty and bites his lip. What if Haru doesn't even want to see him at all? Rin sighed, deciding just to go with it.

He rings the doorbell and one minute later, Haru's opening the door, looking fucking stunning with messy bed hair.

"Yo," Rin said, and Haru frowned at him.

"Rin?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"

"Uhm…Makoto actually talked me into coming over here," Rin offered, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

"Why?"

"Uh…just to hang out, you know? Or are you busy? I can come another time if you're busy. Hey, you're going to the thing tomorrow, right? It'd be pretty cool if you did. I mean, not that it wouldn't be if you didn't. Wait, no. I don't mean you wouldn't make it cool. Okay…so you're coming, right?" Fuck fuck fuck. Rin was babbling. He needed to calm the hell down and yeah, Haru was definitely looking at him strangely.

"Yeah, I just texted Makoto that I was coming. Uh… do you want to come in?" Haru asked. Rin nodded, maybe a little to quickly to be considered discreet. Ugh. He walked in and noticed that the only light on was the one Haru's living room. He goes to sit on one of the zafus and waits for Haru awkwardly.

Okay, yeah, why did he agree to come over again?

Haru sits across from him and Rin can't help but notice how blue his eyes look today and fuck no, now Rin's standing up again.

"Er…I actually have to go," Rin said, glancing at his wrist as if to check the time before realizing that he's an idiot and isn't even wearing a fucking watch damnit.

Haru frowned at him. "You have to go? You just got here."

Rin nodded frantically. "Yeah, I'm gonna go. See you, Haru."

Then, before he knew it, he was halfway down the street, panting and okay what the hell just happened?

Did he honest to god just run away from Haru because his eyes were too blue for him to handle?

Apparently, yes because apparently, Rin's a moron.

Rin groaned and sulked the entire way home.

He really is an idiot.

*okay so this chapter is like incredibly short I'm sorry. I just felt so bad about not updating and decided that this would be a good time to get in a "lull" moment as well. I mean, yeah. I feel bad sorry. :/

I really have valid reasons and if you want them go to my profile, okay? I put an explanation in there and everything :)

anyway, hopefully, you liked the incredibly short chapter? idk. y'all tell me okay? reviews are much appreciated as always :)

and like expect an actual continuation of the plot line next chapter, okay? okay good haha. :)

also, since the last update, I've like written FOUR rinharu one-shots so if you wanna check those out? I think they are all better than this story but I'm not hating on this story b/c it was my first rinharu story and I did start it like when I was 14. :)

honest to god, I love you all. thanks for all the nice feedback (or rude feedback? idk I can't remember if there any bad reviews…I don't think so haha?)
