5. Tokyo Key April May 2021

Opening his eyes, Haru met a beautiful pair of eyes surrounded by long lashes, already smiling sweetly. Lips covering his, a dazzling scent and soft touches. He melted right on the spot. Their warm hands glided onto each other, exploring the sensuality. Haru tuned in onto Rin's mood, stroking him gently. Increased breathing, sweet kissing, both of them were eager for this pleasure. Rin reached faster the top of the wave. Haru whispered into his ear: relax… Rin dived in into the feeling, touching and holding Haru, letting low sounds out. In a bit his hand firmed again. Haru let it happen, holding Rin's hair, his face buried into Rin's neck, his breaths the closest to Rin's ear. Those firm strokes gave him the satisfaction he yearned, again. After one look into each other's eyes, they chuckled gently: Good Morning! (╹◡╹)ohayou おはよう(╹◡╹)

When Rin was about to drive to his family, his hands sticked on Haru's backside, aiming at him, but was held back: Let's continue when you're back. Rin sighed sounding like a stubborn boy: let me kiss you a bit, we'll be apart for some hours. I'll go crazy. Haru held his hands firmly.

You won't! You'll have yourself cooled down. Don't you feel pain? I do a bit, everywhere! Rin widened his eyes grabbing Haru in a tight embrace: I'm sorry. And yes. It hurts... Nevertheless, when I return, nothing would come between us; Say it, we stay in bed doing this all day and all night. Yap, it's fine by me, Haru answered.

Haru swam his second to last round, when he felt a strong, well known energy spreading around the zone. If it would have been visible the whole swimming area would have been covered in a red flash. Even the waters would have glistened pink. Reaching the pool's wall, he looked up. Rin stood there, nonchalantly, talking to the owner, coach Sasabe and waving at Haru with a smiling face. Haru went for his last lap, feeling some more excitement. His inner joy bloomed in the waters.

Finished, Haru? Rin greeted him cool. Coach Sasabe kept sharing further his opinions on swimming and S.C. business. Haru nodded, walking away he spoke: 5 minutes. Rin Yapped. On their way to the red cabriolet Rin shared the mysteries that happened at his home. Of course, I came back earlier for you too, but also. Gou went out! We had about only an hour, of which she spent mostly in the bathroom, asked me even to make her hair! I didn't like to, but mom made her hair, then she asked ME about her looks, her gloss her who knows whats. I've figured it out. She's dating really this time. I'm nervous.

Haru gave him a look: You're dating too. She's 18, what's with you? Haru kept his usual cool.

Rin took a very deep breath. It must be Makoto! They looked already suspicious. Makoto didn't eat with us yesterday and he left in about 2 minutes. Don't you think? I'm so confused. He's a good guy. But…

He's the Best! And he left because he got Our Mood, Haru said.

Rin narrowed his eyes. Fine, then. But she's my little sister. She's a girl. I'm nervous about her when I think about what we both do … our sex. Would she… Whoa… I can't.

Don't be! Gou is not made of glass, she's strong, tough and beautiful. Occasionally she reminded us All, of You. The privacy you care about, she deserves too. Besides, Makoto is a cautious person. He won't push her to sleep with him. Shy as he is, won't wonder if Gou urges him; Haru explained in his easy Haru-nature way. Rin's face changed color first, but turned swiftly calm. I need the wind on my face. He started the engine with much eagerness. Rin drove to a small shop to buy some bento and other delis. At home they undressed, feeling best, wearing only their briefs, smooching and embracing now and then, sensing their skin.

They ate with an exceptional easy mood, half stretched out on the mats towards the garden. Haru, I feel suddenly good about Gou. If this works out, and they have kids one day, this will be beneficial for all of us. Makoto is like a family to you. So. You know…

Haru looked at him in wonder. I can't think of that, Rin. Don't make me. He turned to look away.

Rin also looked aside. Haru aimed to throw out the empty bento boxes, remaining in the kitchen considering Rin's opinions. That doesn't feel so good, he thought. Rin approached in low pace, stopping at the entrance, looking like a saint. His expression collected and mature. Haru lifted up inside.

Haru, you'll never have to give up your freedom for me! I'm devoted to you, but I'll never ask you, to not be Free! I also value My Freedom, although I feel a strong bond to you. I want to belong to you!

Haru remained serious and collected.

I don't like finances that much. It's useful and I already got it how it's supposed to be…he spoke quietly. Rin followed him, calm and earnestly looking. Arts is maybe unreasonable for making money, but I think I'll make the B.A. diploma only on that subject. It's probably easier to change the university with such a subject, as well as the country… Let me research how to change to Sydney when we're back in Tokyo.

His eyes captured Rin's. Haru moved to stand before him, face to face. Rin kept his calm. Only his tearful eyes - the Dimond Rin Edition, gave his feelings away. Ya. Economics is interesting to some point. I'm not a specialist either. Sport science is far more fun! I like the medical part and psychology… Rin said with shaky voice, drying his tears with his palms, deeply inhaling. No words to tell you, how I feel, Haru! They fell in a tight embrace. Haru made the first move, touching Rin's hair and face, kissing him slowly. Do you like to shower with me, Haru asked? Rin was already high into wanting whatever, the only thing that counted now was - tendering. Holding hands firmly, Haru led the way. All of their moves towards each other stayed very gentle, slower, than ever. Every touch lingered, it had to be felt fully, like leaving an imprint on their Soul. The soft, warm water ran all over them. Haru's back leaned on the wall, Rin was on his knees, touching him gently, undressing Haru of his wet shorts… The waters went all over Rin's mouth, wetting Haru, making him moan louder than ever.

With a loud cry out, Haru had died and resurrected. Rin held him, until he had calmed down… He watched Rin letting the sperm be washed from his mouth, dropping down his chin. When Rin came up to kiss him, he froze stunned by Haru's wet eyes. It wasn't water coming from above, but from within. I love you. I love you so much, Rin whispered. Haru embraced him tightly, his body still vibrating, not able to speak a word. Rin stroke his head. I'm happy, Haru. Now I know what is it all been for.

Rin, Haru's voiced sounded a bit shaky, weepy; - Same here. Still, there are the gold medals waiting for you. And for me. Now he smiled. It's been all for this, too.

Haru, let's compete when we're in Tokyo tomorrow afternoon. Haru nodded. Yes, I'm winning, it's my place! Rin's expression lightened up. I'm full of your energy, plus mine. Can't wait to do this. Haru started kissing Rin's neck, striking his skin all over. What do you wish? He asked. Rin smiled. Go as you want. Haru turned him around, kissing and striking Rin's backside, making Rin moan with pleasure. The warmth of the waters exaggerated the sensations Haru gave him all over his skin. Haru turned Rin around to stroke, touch and kiss Rin the way he wanted, letting the water pour all over, leading Rin to lose himself, again.

Haru and Rin stretched out on their favorite place infront of the open slide doors, letting the afternoon sun warm their bodies. Rin read aloud some articles about swimming and other things on his iPhone. Haru rested on his shoulder, eyes closed, one leg on Rin's leg, some red hair strings around his fingers. They exhaled in their private happy realms of a love which has been growing inside their souls for years. Both of them cared to keep this bond safe, like their own lives and souls. They appreciated this treasure of theirs, beyond profound understanding, like already being a devoted parent, caring and willing to protect and make this love grow. Rin played some of his preferred chill songs, bluethooting through the small, silver Sony loudspeaker on the shelf. Then they cuddled up kissing and feeling their skin, appreciating the stillness, feeling free.

I love you, Haru said. Rin was about to sob again.

Let's change location, do you want to go to bed? It's comfier for the back. Rin nodded. This stopped his tears.

Haru stretched on the bed, looking at Rin searching something in his bag. He turned towards Haru holding this something in his hand. Grinning.

Rin? Haru gazed at him. Rin's smile grew bigger. Will you take your briefs down? Haru said calm. Rin used one hand to undress. Sensing Haru's piercing eyes on him, turned him instantly on. With cool steps, he bent over Haru's stretched body. Beaming: I want you to undress for me, too.

Haru placed himself where Rin had stood, undressing by copying Rin's moves. Rin smiled all over. A rare view of a lighthearted Haru pointing at him, forming a gun with his hand! You remember how you shot me?

Yaaa! The water battle… you let me shoot you in the face, you fucked us by this move! Hahaha …

Nope. I, took … Your Shot in my Face! It was the way how Haru said this words…

Whoa! Now, I feel humbled. Back then, I was angry and misbehaved, till Souske let a comment later, which won't let me sleep. Had to sneak out to the yards to satisfy my crazy. Sigh!

What?! - Haru was astonished. I didn't think when I let this happen, what did Souske say?

Something like, Haru let you Bang straight into his face. Don't cry, senseless Baka! Hahaha …

Haru's mouth went open. He walked toward Rin, stretching out over him. Rin lifted up, reaching out and opening his hand before Haru's eyes. In his palm laid his silver chain with the disc pendant. For you! I want you to have something from me. May I…? - He placed it around Haru's neck. The disc had an imprint of Rin's name and birthday written with pretty, filigree letters. Haru watched it all surprised and deeply touched. Thank you!

I wondered whether to give you this, or my bracelet, which I also love, but this is far more exquisite and you could hide it under your cloths, if you wear it at all. The bracelet will be recognized by those Baka.

Is it of silver or gold? Haru asked. Rin smiled. Neither. It's Platinum. Haru looked seriously stunned. Oh, so Expansive, he pointed out.

I have bought the necklace some time ago. The disc is a present from my mom for my 18th birthday. Actually, it was a ring of my dad, which my mother had reshaped by a friend who's a skillful jeweler. It's dear to me, this is why I want you to have this.

Thank You! Haru's face glowed hot. I have something for you too. It's in Tokyo. You'll receive it tomorrow.

Wow, really?

Of course. But. It's not because you gave me this, but because I've already decided.

Rin kissed him again. Are we going to have sex? He said in an such an easy manner like he was asking what's for dinner. Haru nodded. I want to fuck you. But; he sighed. You'll hurt again.

If we apply some balm … Rin said. Haru shook his head, looking away.

We're both sore, Haru kissed him. Their hands stroke gently over their bodies for some time. Rin, how about going for a short walk by the sea?

EH?! – No?! Want to rather feel you on my skin. However, Rin gave some thought. Eh, if you want, let's go then.

After a short stroll in the evening air, gazing at the shades of Pink of the setting sun, they returned home and went straight to bed, to lay naked on one another, feeling the heat of their soft skin, pleasured them to some extent. Rin's hand went daring on Haru. May I touch you? Haru reacted with a wholesome smile. If you feel unwell, I'll stop. Rin kissed and caressed Haru's lips and body very gently. Haru responded naturally. He felt exceedingly good and let Rin do what he wanted. His longing to sleep with Rin grew stronger, he searched for pictures in his mind to calm down and restrain.

Rin whispered suddenly: Do you like it? Yes! Rin got Haru's mood. Haru felt this. Sigh! What I like most, you've noticed. This is why you're in pain.

Say it, Rin dared him. Haru grinned with eyes closed.

I like to fuck you. All over again. Countless times.

Rin pressed his head on Haru's chest. I like to be fucked by you all over again, countless times. I like this the most.

They chuckled. Naturally, both of them felt outstanding lustful. Rin's steady hands and kisses made Haru come and he returned the gesture in the same manner. In a blessed mood, they cuddled up, listening to music, proceeding with a pleasant evening: eating dinner while standing in the kitchen, drinking the rest of the Chardonnay, sitting cuddled up in the dark outside, on the patio, feeling safe in the closest, strong embrace. Chatting about whatever comes to mind. Listening to Rin's playlists, or him reading something interesting about sport and mental strength. Haru asked Rin to accompany him buying new clothes to upgrade his style, as soon as they had free time. Rin agreed happily, pointing out, he liked how Haru dressed, it was his pure, sincere, Haru -nature way. How to upgrade perfection?! Before sleeping, a brave Rin read aloud some love poems, googled with his iPhone. Haru cherished those exquisite moments wholeheartedly. Rin felt blessed.

Ready to jump in to the large pool close to Haru's home in Tokyo.

After dropping their things on the entrance floor, they've been sprinting towards to the swimming pool building. Energized and eager to compete by all means. Straightened bodies, bustling with battle energy, but whispering to each other, they offered an attention-grabbing image, making some people drop their mouths open.

If I win, you DO me first, Rin grinned.

If I win, I'll DO you first.

Rin made a face: Come On, Haru… what's a challenge for you?!

It's what I want.

Rin sighed. Then if I win, I choose the place.

Shower…

Pointless. This is my thought too…

If I win, I'll come with you to the airport tomorrow!

Rin gave Haru a perplexed and irked look. Haru kept his cool. Rin's expression changed once more. If I win, I'd like to shave you.

What, My legs? Haru looked into quite a mischievous face, breathing out as soon as he got Rin.

Straight away Haru gave him his Annoyed Haru expression.

Will this please you? He asked, Rin nodded naughtily. It turns me on!

If you think, you can distract me from swimming my Best, think again! Haru built up before him. Hahaha! Same here!

Haru had asked one of the coaches who trained some youngsters, to give the start signal. He appeared ready to send them on their most anticipated competition. On a Monday afternoon, naturally there were groups who trained and some people who swam around. Kids and others gathered around them. Haru was already known there so the audience was quite eager for this competition, producing enthusiastic noise.

Rin and Haru are beloved children of Fate, they finished both at the same time, again.

Are you best friends? a boy asked admiring them. Rin answered cheerfully: We are! But we are more than that. - Haru froze. - When we compete, we're best rivals since childhood. He's the Best, I've always wanted to copy his speed. When we don't swim, we're the Best match, too. Haru breathed out. Those shiny kids´ eyes went on him, looking with admiration, setting goals for the future.

Returning home, a cheerful Rin kissed Haru. What now? Haru sighed. Let's unpack, are you hungry? No and Yes! Unpack tomorrow…

Let me wash the wet things, you can take them with you, Haru suggested. Yesterday morning, when Rin had left to visit his family, he had washed all their clothes.

Fine. But keep them here. I'll be happy to have some swimming things at your place.

Haru nodded, they stuffed the things in the washing machine. Rin made some sandwiches, while Haru made the bed, placing an additional cover and a pillow for Rin. Facing each other they stood a while, guessing what they desired. Let's eat. Rin whispered staring at Haru's body. Haru moved towards his worldwide famous Ikea dresser, everyone may have or have owned, once in a lifetime. Rin had one in Sydney, not a white one, a black one. He took something out, grabbing Rin's hand, placing it in his soft palm. Rin gasped. His Diamond Rin Edition already streaming.

A key!

This is your place too, whenever you wish. Haru said in calm Haru manner. Rin fell on him. Both they fell on the blue couch. Rin's hands exploring Haru's body. Kissing passionately. Haru calmed him down. Let's eat first, please. Pushing him aside. Rin, I won't bother you, coming to the airport, don't worry. I'll leave for the university, few hours before you ... Rin nodded: I won't bother you with whatever. Haru smiled. I may like what you've wanted to do. Rin gave him an astonished look. It looks sexy on you, so, why not?! … After eating the sandwiches and everything else they found in Haru's kitchen, they aimed to the bathroom, beaming with excitement.

Rin did his best, skillfully shaving Haru's area. He did lose some energy on efforting to control his desire to do something else instead of shaving. Haru examined the results infront of the mirror, watching Rin's hands stroking over his body from behind. Haru gave him a gripping, affecting look, which melted Rin's knees and made him tremble, longing for Haru's touch. Standing under the shower, Haru let the waters run over their bodies. The first cold streams made them shiver. Haru's hands were tangled into Rin's hair, his tongue in his mouth, playing around. Rin's hands caressing Haru's marble body, touching everywhere with a hot palm and a strong grip. Their senses soaring the heights. Rin turned around, pressing his muscular arms against the shower wall, leaning slightly forward, enclosing Haru with his backside. Haru's longing went crazy. He was overwhelmed by the sight of the godly body before him. Every muscle on that sexy back become sharply evident. Grabbing Rin's backside, touching intensely.

They went for another big, crispy waffle, full of different types of ice cream and toppings. Haru senses enlarged to the center of the Milky Way again. The warm waters pouring on his body, filling the tensity of the most desirable body, hearing Rin's moans… Haru aimed at Rin, like he intended to leave his marks within there for good. A sudden loud groan from Rin freaked Haru out. He froze, had he gone too far; Rin was crying from pain… Rin's hoarse voice commanded: Go On… Harder! He followed, dying and resurrecting again. Moments after he partly gained his senses, Haru kept going alluring Rin with his hand and his movements. Rin stopped moving letting such a shout out. Haru speeded up, pleasing Rin unmeasurably.

It took them a while to remember who they were. Standing immovable, tingled to each other, letting the waters calm them down. Catching their breaths. Embracing softly. Their skin was overly sensual, the touches had to be light and soft.

I love you so much. Don't want to leave tomorrow, Rin whispered. Haru's hands were on his hair. Say, do you want me to shampoo your hair?

Please, Rin answered softly. Haru had some remarkable joy while washing Rin's hair. Afterwards Rin fancied to wash his.

Haru cooked some rice as they became hungry after showering and having the times of their lives, again. Rin hung the washed things up, over the laundry stands on the balcony. Haru knew how to make the best rice imaginable, even with no other spices, then some sea salt and some coriander. Dressed comfy in T-shirts and shorts they stood on the balcony, watching the city lights and the skies, enjoying their meal.

Wow, this was amazing! I'm overwhelmed! Can't find the words to tell you how much. Every day, since our first kissing, has overwhelmed me. First, it was pleasure and then burning pain and now so much pleasure. Rin sounded sincerely dazed.

Haru nodded. Same here. I feel like I'm out of gravity.

Rin closed his eyes. Again, his Diamond Rin Edition emerged. Haru's hands touched the tears away. We'll be back together soon, time flies by. Rin nodded, straightening his body up. An idea came to his mind, he went to grab his iPhone. Yes! - he gave it to Haru. Unsurprisingly there were Line (s) from Makoto and Gou.

You two, I couldn't manage to see you. I'm sorry. I'm staying in Iwatobi till Wednesday. I want you to know, that I will cover and protect you with all my strength. Please, don't worry and always Relay on me. M.😎

They eyed each other, sharing the same thoughts on this, nodding.

Onii - chan 鬼ちゃん 😎

I'm sorry, I couldn't spend more time with you. You looked happy and relaxed. Had something happened? 😉 I'm good. 😍 Tell you next time. 😘 You're returning so soon, what a relief. Are you and Haru coming to Iwatobi again? I need your thoughts on what to choose for the College. Maybe sports management 😇 Not some boring stuff. If I am to job as a bikini model, (awesome payment) would you be too angry? 😇 😇 Mom said, I shouldn't ask you. But you're important. 💞 It's a sports magazine and it really is safe. Gou 😘 😘 😘💖

Rin's face paled. He groaned. Wtf?! Haru, help me. Is she crazy? I'd rather hear she's with Makoto than posing for disgusting guys to gaze at her. He kept complaining.

Rin, stop! Let her do what she wants. I'm not sure what Makoto's thoughts are on that. However, if you, or he, try to suppress her, it won't be beneficial to lower her will and her self-esteem. She might become submissive to men, and got really hurt. Let this be. Haru spoke in his nice and reasonable Haru manner. Rin agreed:

You're a good psychologist. And clever and gentle. My man! Hugging Haru enthusiastically, Rin calmed down.

Not really, it's obvious.

What? All the guys I know are quite dump when it comes to such matters. Maybe Souske isn't. Haru nodded, he didn't like to be compared to Souske and remained still. Look, Haru, Makoto has changed his Line account picture into a sunset view. What's the meaning of this? Or is it a sunrise? Does it mean a new day or a new life? Or a sunset - evening, dates and so on… the things one does at night. Whoa!

What's with you? We do the things one does at night, all day. Haru remarked quite dry. Rin looked at him questioning his intentions. Haru kept his cool. Rin sighed. I'm a bit overwhelmed. Sorry. Haru patted his shoulder, teasing him a bit.

You're always fiery. Rin tilted his head. Teasing me already?

Not at all. You're fiery, you know it. And sexy as fuck.

You're my Water Kami!

Silence.

You let water burn! Now Rin gasped with bewilderment.

Say it again while fucking me!

Haru grabbed his hand. Do you want me? Aren't you hurting?

I want this!

Rin was pushed on the blue couch; his shorts went down rapidly.

They went for another big, crispy waffle, full of different types of ice cream and toppings. By their mutual understanding Haru shoved every Word with a Deep thrust inside him.

Rin. You. Let. Water. Burn.

When they returned to Earth, they felt very happy, also, this time there was no blood. Ah, we've forgot something; Haru said. Ya! I'm sorry… I'll clean up. But. You're Godly. You got me so easy.

No need! I mean… You wanted to kiss me with your bitings …

Ah, This! I forgot really. Won't forget again.

Are you satisfied?

I am. You?

I am, greatly.

I'm hungry again, Rin chuckled.

Ahem. There's a conbi store with a good organic selection nearby... Let's get some food, also, something for breakfast.

Ok, let's go.

They ate bento, some Italian panini sandwiches and drank lemonades on the balcony, chatting nicely. Rin stated: he's going to buy a sandwich maker to bake for them all kinds of panini variations, he knew from Sydney. A red and a green candle, burning with some atmospheric lights, buoyed the coziness of that Tokyo balcony evening. Rin had pointed at them when they went grocery shopping in Iwatobi and Haru had appreciated the idea. Now they were placed on the window shelf in Tokyo. These candles were made of natural ingredients only, their wax melting in beautiful leaf forms. The new grill had to be transported to Tokyo too, but that 2 seats car was already too full. So, it had to be the next time.

Haru's eyes were on Rin's T-shirt he had put on, before going out. Black, with a huge yellow smiley face on the front, which had a blue drop on its forehead, placed over and between the eyes. The print of white letters on the backside interested Haru more and he asked Rin about it, reading it out loud: IF EVERYBODY LIVES BY THE SWEAT OF HIS BROW THE EARTH WILL BECOME A PARADISE; Rin answered in a sweet way, touching shyly his hair: Ah, Ya! It's a Japanese label: Kapital, guess you don't care about labels, I sometimes buy such things, but this one … I liked especially this phrase, it's from Gandhi … you know. Haru eyed him impressed: I understand. You're Idealistic, you've always bean, he smiled. I like this about you!

Haru, studying Arts, do you have to draw? Haru looked away.

Ahem…

What? …

Hmm… (~_~) uh huu

May I…? Rin's eyes sparkled…(╹◡╹)

Haru kept looking away. Hmm, Next time. Sigh! I'm not sure if I'm willing to show anything ever. Rin pouted. I'm dying to see something. What do you like to draw?

Some portraits… places, also abstract stuff, like water, the sea. I only use basic colors and crayons. Rin's spirits lifted even more. What else is a part of your subject, what other Arts?

Some other like, architecture of the different epochs in Japan, Asia and Europe, also film and some literature, but only some, luckily.

Japanese?

Yes. As well as some international.

I thought you like reading?

Reading - Yes, but I don't have to study it further, elaborating analyses and so on.

I haven't read as much as you. I like films, you know… Recently, I've watched an anime, everyone was talking about last year, especially Gou, she kept mention it and unnerving me endlessly to watch it. When she finally stopped talking about it, I recalled and watched it, alone in my apartment in Sydney, as usual; Woah! It made me cry for days, Rin said. If you haven't seen it, let's watch together next time? Haru nodded, asking him – what's the title? Ahem, it's Your Name. Do you know it?

Maybe, I've heard about it, but didn't see it. Next time, he nodded.

Your subject is Cool, Haru! When we are in Paris, we're going certainly to Louvre. What do you say? Haru drank some sips ice tea, gathering his thoughts: Rin? I didn't think of you liking Arts... Only yesterday, when you read those poems, it took me unexpectedly. I like it.

Rin beamed a glowing smile. I've always been romantic and too sentimental, Haru. Literature is still not my thing. Back than in school, in Sydney it was very British and I was what…. 14 or 15 years old and didn't like it at all. To me, Romeo and Juliet were hopeless Bakas. How on Earth are they so dump about their whereabouts. I can't stand them still.

So, Romantic? Haru smiled.

I'm still angry about them, loving each other and giving up on life, at such a young age! Guess. Always worried about my own hard situation. A loud, proud, masculine guy like me, had fallen for another guy! You know.

Haru knew well.

When they tried to sleep, they couldn't. Rin read the one poem Haru liked most, two times. Their bodies were closest to one another floating in a cloud of Feelings which had numbed any left logic at this point. In few hours they had to part for some time. Two weeks appeared like eternity.

Waking up in the middle of the night Haru felt the empty space at his side. He rose up and found Rin on the balcony, covered with the blanket. He stood still next to Rin. After some time, Rin's lips covered his neck, his sharp tongue moving up and down, trying some cautious biting out. Haru's body gave into Rin's caress, his breath fastened. Rin took him to bed where he went on covering Haru's body with cautious biting. When he lowered around Haru's abdomen, where the hidden parts were, the biting became a bit stronger. Yet Rin stopped soon after. Let me know if there are marks and how long it takes to disappear. I can't mark you to not be able to swim. Do you like it?

Haru smiled. I like it, you've sensed me liking it… I like everything you do! You may do whatever gives you pleasure, he whispered. His hands were tingled in Rin's hair.

I want you to be careful and take good care of yourself. - Still whispering.

Rin nodded. I always am and do! And I want you to do the same. I won't …

Rin, stop! Haru interrupted. Let's never talk about pessimistic things whatsoever. You deserve the Best in life! You're a strong, handsome man! Mine! Naturally the Diamond Rin Edition started.

I went on the balcony questioning Reality. I have had a fear to wake up and find out, all was a dream. I do have some fears, still.

That's normal. Loving always implies fear, self- doubt or lack of trust. It's like it is. Just don't fall for this. That's all. Rin loved Haru's soft voice and the words he had just spoken. He felt the powerful energy embedded into their meaning.

You're mature, and wise! A true Kami, so handsome and intelligent. The moment I saw you, back then, I was captured inside your aura. Then, over time, every experience with you and about you, made me fall in love, more and more. I couldn't resist anymore. You felt it last week.

Haru nodded: On my way to you, then, I felt pulled towards you by some energy, like a string around me. Somewhat strange but then it felt so right. I sensed what may going to happen and thought about to do something, but to not leave your room without …

Really? You wanted to sleep with me? Rin beamed.

Ahem! Kissing I thought… but to be honest, what I wanted for some years is … to sleep with you.

Rin responded by kissing him sweetly, placing his head on Haru's shoulders. Haru continued stroking very slowly Rin's hair, face and back.

Back then in Sydney, you know, that hotel, I was considering whether to kiss you, after we chilled out about the lousy situation. But my fear stopped me, Rin said.

It's better this way, don't you think? We were too young. Me at least, I just had turned 18 and was so confused, you know what my condition was. When your Australian family started to talk about you, having been missing me and admiring me, I felt so good. My hopes grew vaguely on from there. Also, your gesture, taking me out, shaking me upside down; you even told me, you've admired me always. I became more confident. Truth is, with everything you did and said … I woke up!

What?! Rin exclaimed and chuckled. Yes, you're right, we were too young. I was more fearful of admitting and at the same time wanted to admit. I tried though... when I confessed to have been admiring you always, and apologized for projecting my goals onto you. Still, taking you there was self-centered to some extent. You know this about me. Also, I kept over acting with my coolness, unnerving people.

Rin gave some thought. Haru, if I had … kissed you?

Yes!

Sigh. This might have not gone so well. I mean, we might have had some drama and might haven't developed to enter the national team.

You are very good psychologist yourself, Rin. I Love you.

I love you so much.

They silenced and kissed, falling asleep.

Haru read the same sentence one million times not getting a single word into his brain. Not understanding. His mind had blacked out. He felt overly tired and sad. Rin had texted, he's at the airport now. Haru went on to another sector in the library, picking up a poem book, scrolling through, reading. Instantly every word made sense.

He looked at some selfies they had taken yesterday evening, after their great, fulfilling sex. His body vibrated still from all he had felt these past four days. His senses, full of satisfaction and new desire. Haru lent out this book and left the library to sit outside, trying to read. Pointless.

What to do to stop the agony?! Walking around, NOT GOING TO THE AIRPORT, eating somewhere, not swimming today, because he had some pale pink traces on his neck and shoulders, left by his hot man… and felt some pain at certain areas of his body. Maybe buying something, anything, what's the name of that T- Shirt label, Rin wore yesterday, going to Shibuya to find the store? Or calling Makoto? Maybe going to a shrine, or home, watching something? Home, - where Rin's scent will still linger … or drawing? He always had his block and crayons in his bag. Nothing made sense! Nothing felt right! His longing couldn't be fooled by anything profound. The only thing would've been, embracing the ONE he loved sincerely.

After first taking the wrong subway, twice! Haru arrived at the beach. It was a spot he had set with Makoto and Rin, more than a year and a half ago. The sun was setting again, covering everything in all shades of pink, orange and red. Rin's plane had taken off. He had texted him many crying faces and some sweet talk, right before. Haru walked the seashore up and down several times, sat on those steps, where they had set before, watching the waves, sending his mind out over the horizon, aiming the skies.

After some long while, when his jeans were already dry and the sky had darkened, the cool evening air chilled him, Haru calmed down. Two weeks are short. They have their lives before them. So many years to be happy, ahead of them.

The light in his eyes returned.

When he got back home, Rin's lingering scent drugged him straight. This empty space feeling was a kind of a sweet torture. Rin had tidied up everything, leaving a white paper with a large heart and an infinity sign within it, placed on the table. It took Haru quite a while to settle his mind. Half the night he set on the couch, watching the candle flames, walking the room up and down, watching the sky, wishing upon a falling star in the middle of the night, falling asleep on a wet pillow, suddenly waking up at 5:30… Just then, his smartphone sounded making him smile.

Rin had texted: Landed, still rolling. Love you my water kami. Miss you like Hell. Wanna 6 with You. Hope time flies by. How are you? Let's FaceTime this evening. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A note from the author

Everyone,

This is my first fanfic and my first writing about love making, cause I'm a saint. The original story YOU LET WATER BURN described the bash very detailed, therefore I edited this almost out, making this light novel available to younger readers.

I do love and respect the original story of FREE!; especially the unique characters. Sensing how their love bloomed over the years; this story came to me out of some galactic places. I sat meditating, asking Rin and Haru if they'll share what happened or happens. To me they are somewhere, maybe here in our limited world, may be in a parallel universe. I wanted to experience what's when one's in love of a kind that won't appear easily to some people or social structures. Love is never easy anyway.

I see 2 twin flames, mastering life. They're extraordinary gifted people, who most of the time, had to suppress their true feelings. I admire them for being strong spirited and for showing up for themselves. Their evolving, dedication, bravery, persistence, good characters and all together - their integrity, are inspiring to me.

They set an example on many levels. I aim to be better.

I wish them to be happy beyond measure. りん(╹◡╹)(~_~) 春 はる
