There is a constant in Iwatobi-that of sea salt, carried in by the ocean breeze. Haruka arrives home to find a sleepy Makoto, the sea salt aroma in the air bringing him back to the memories dwelling inside his mind. Bringing him back to the thoughts of Makoto's constancy and the presence of a friendship as endless as the water's waves. [Brief Oneshot][very minor romance]
