Hello SouHaru lovers! Another story accomplished! I had fun writing this one. The awkward moments are always the best.
Sousuke Yamazaki was stuck on the train, his arms were crossed, shoulders hunched and his head was forward, his eyes level with someones arse. He averted his eyes and caught the look of the man beside of him, staring lustfully at the boy in front of Sousuke. He rolled his eyes in disgust and was about to scold the old man when the train shifted violently. Sousuke grunted in both pain and surprised when a body collided into him and instinctively helped the culprit steady himself. Now the man was sitting in his lap and Sousuke didn't know what to do. The man glanced at his saviour from behind and deep blue eyes met teal.
"Haru?!" "Sousuke?" Both teens eyes widened in recognition. Haru all but jumped off Sousuke's lap.
"What are you doing here?" Haru asked.
"I'm going to the beach."
"Without Rin?"
"I can do things without him you know." Sousuke grunted.
"I know, I just assumed you'd be with him." Haru shrugged, turning back around, Sousuke gazed up at the back of Haru's head. Sousuke felt movement behind him and glanced at the old man. He was shuffling closer, his arm reaching out, aimed for Haru's behind. Sousuke smacked his arm away and glared menacingly at him. The old man retreated, grumbling about respecting your elders.
"Crazy old coot." Sousuke muttered under his breath. When he turned back to Haru, he found the raven haired teen staring at him.
"Thank you."
"For?" Sousuke raised a brow. Haru motioned to the old man. "Oh, no problem."
Their conversation died instantly with Haruka nodding and turning back once more. Their stop came and Sousuke walked behind Haru out of the station and went to walk off when Haru's voice stopped him.
"Can I come with you?"
"What?" Sousuke asked over his shoulder.
"Can I come with you to the beach?" Haru's eyes were sparkling at the thought of water and Sousuke smirked.
"You're such a water freak." Sousuke continued ahead, his voiced loudly. "Come on then."
Haruka caught up, falling into a peaceful silence as they walked. They made it to the deserted beach just as the sun was setting and sat side by side as it went behind the horizon, it's orange and red light flickering over the ocean. Haru glanced up to the man beside him. He let a small smile grace his lips as Sousuke's eyes were filled with amazement and his demeanour seemed so relaxed.
"Stop looking at me Nanase." Sousuke announced. Haru jumped slightly and averted his eyes in embarrassment.
"Why did you come out so late?" Haruka pried, fingering the sand in front of him.
"Rin was with Nitori so I had-"
"-To get away." Haru finished for him. Sousuke glimpsed at Haru who watched the sand drain between his fingers. "That's what I did."
"Are Makoto and Nagisa that bad?" Sousuke smiled, amused at the annoyed glance Haru sent his way.
"You have no idea." Haru made a sick gesture and smiled when Sousuke chuckled.
"Rin and Nitori were feeding each other grapes right in front of me." Sousuke challenged, cocking a brow at Haru.
"Makoto and Nagisa full on made out in front of me." Haru replied, shivering at the memory causing Sousuke to chuckle once again. "This is nice."
"What is?" Sousuke's laughter died down.
"Us being civil." Haru explained.
Sousuke hummed. "Yeah it is."
There was a silence before Haru stood and stretched his arms above his head. "Well come on. Let's do what we came here for."
Sousuke watched at the boy began to take his clothes off. His shirt flew, landing on Sousuke's head.
"Oi, watch where you're chucking your clothes!" Sousuke growled, ripping the shirt from his head, his eyes widening and blushed intensely. "What are you doing?"
"Going for a swim, you coming?"
"You're naked." Sousuke pointed out, his eyes focused on the sky.
"So I am." Haruka agreed in amusement. "You better hurry or you'll miss out."
Sousuke waited until he couldn't hear Haru's feet before he glanced back down to catch Haru's head breaking the water. Seeing Haru so at peace in the water Sousuke threw his clothes off, left only in hsi jammers and sprinted across the sand and dived into the water to join Haru.
"How's your shoulder?"
Sousuke grasped it out of habit and rolled it several times. "It's better but I still won't be able to compete for a while."
Haru nodded and let the water float over his shoulders as he flowed over towards Sousuke.
"Don't you always wear your jammers underneath?"
"That's if I know I'm going to swim. Which I didn't. Shouldn't you be heading back soon?"
"Shit." Sousuke cursed, turning back towards the shore, he began to swim back but froze when Haruka asked something he never thought he would hear.
"Do you want to stay at mine?"
"I need permission from the school to stay out for the night." Sousuke explained, after unfreezing and swam back over to the raven haired man.
"Can you just ring them up now?"
"No, they like a weeks notice." Sousuke rolled his eyes, "It's ridiculous."
"You could say it was an emergency?"
Sousuke snorted. "What emergency?"
"A family member died or you're boyfriend almost drowned."
"My boyfriend?"
"It is just an excuse. But I can pretend to drown if you want." Haru suggested.
"That's okay, you don't need to do that." Sousuke glanced in confusion at Haru who was staring at him in all seriousness. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I feel fine." Haruka rolled his eyes. "I'm just trying to make your life easier."
"I better get going." Sousuke announced, "Thanks for today."
Haruka's face went stone faced and just nodded to Sousuke before diving into the water and swam away. Sousuke frowned before turning away and heading back to the shore. He threw on his shirt, grasping his jeans, watching Haruka swim as he zipped his pants. Sousuke sighed before jogging back to the train station. He sprinted when he heard the last call for Samezuka and shouted for the train to stop. He got to the end of the line, hands on knees heaving in air.
"Shit." Sousuke whispered. "Now what am I going to do?"
Sousuke glanced at the hanging clock at the train station. Eight O'clock. His stomach rumbled causing Sousuke to grasp his stomach to muffle the noise. "I can't believe I'm going to do this."
Sousuke grabbed his phone and dialled his dorm room keeper.
"Hello, this is Remba."
"Remba, It's Sousuke. I'm not going to be able to make it back tonight. My partner almost drowned and we were at the hospital for hours. I've only just got them home and I've missed the last train."
"This is very late notice Mr Yamazaki. I'll allow it this once since it was an emergency but for now on no more freebies."
"Yes ma'am. Thank you ma'am."
Sousuke hung up the phone and rested his head in his hands. He waited several moments before he made his way to Haruka Nanase's house.
He knocked gently on the door, he only waited a few seconds before Haru appeared in front of him. Haruka let him in without a word and Sousuke followed the swimmer into his living room. Sousuke's eyes widened at the futon laying in the middle, ready made.
"You knew I wasn't going to make it the train?" He rounded on the smirking raven haired teen.
"No. I set it up just in case." Haruka shrugged. "You hungry?"
At the question Sousuke nodded vigorously and waited patiently for Haru to bring him food. The teal eyed teen devoured the meal asking for seconds and thirds.
"This is amazing." Sousuke mumbled, chewing away. "You've got to give me the recipe."
"You cook?" Haru seemed surprised. Sousuke nodded, swallowing his mouthful.
"Mum loves cooking, I get it from her."
Haruka nodded, grabbing his plate along with Sousuke's and went to the kitchen. Sousuke followed the boy and instinctively grabbed the tea towel and a plate.
"You don't have to."
"It's okay. You cooked at least." Sousuke waved him off. "And it was delicious."
Sousuke noticed the slight blush spreading across Haru's cheek at the compliment.
"Are you getting embarrassed Nanase?"
"Don't be ridiculous." Haru snapped, flicking his bubbled hand at Sousuke. Sousuke sneezed as the bubbles tickled his nose and he rubbed it off. Haruka was smiling in amusement and didn't expect Sousuke to dip his hand in the bubbles and smooth his hand all over Haru's face. Haruka spluttered and coughed, wiping the soap from his eyes. Sousuke burst out laughing before he grasped Haru's wrist, removing it from his face and began to sculpture a soapy beard. The raven haired teen let his arm fall and watched the way the teal eyed man poked out his tongue out in concentration. Cute. Haruka thought.
As Sousuke finished, Haruka noticed a few stray bubbles on Sousuke's lip and automatically reached up and ran his thumb across the teens bottom lip. Sousuke's eyes widened at the sensation and their eyes locked. Sousuke flickered his eyes down to Haru's lips, covered in bubbles wanting to swipe his own thumb across those delicate lips. He lifted his hand towards him, he flinched when Haruka let out an awkward cough and turned away. Sousuke let his arm stay mid air and watched Haru wipe away his bubble beard away.
"It's late. We should probably get some sleep." Haruka announced.
"O-okay." Sousuke answered disappointed. He made his way to the futon, sitting down and removed his jacket.
"Good night." Haruka spoke, walking to the door, stopping, his hand on the frame, turning his head.
"Good night." Sousuke replied, smiling gratefully. Haruka let a small smile grace his lips before his lifted his hand and disappeared from Sousuke's view. Sousuke let out a breath and flopped on his back, staring up at the ceiling. His brain was scrambled from trying to distinguish these feelings that were all too new. He wondered if Haruka felt them too, eyes closing hoping something would make sense.
Sousuke woke that morning to find he had encircled something, thinking it a pillow he moved it upwards. His eyes widened when the lump didn't budge but moaned sleepily. He glanced down to find a raven clump of hair.
"Haru?!" He accidently yelped. Haruka groggily woke, glancing up with half lidded eyes.
"What?" He mumbled grumpily.
"What are you doing in my bed?"
"I got cold." Haru nuzzled into Sousuke's neck. "You're really warm."
Sousuke gulped, the boys nose tickling his neck. He froze when he felt Haruka's lip graze his collarbone. "Haru, what are you doing?"
"Trying to sleep." He breathed, tickling the mans chest.
"Stop messing around." Sousuke whispered seriously. Haruka peeped up, their faces inches apart.
"I'm being serious." Haruka said in all honesty. "Are you okay with this?"
Sousuke felt Haru press a finger to his lips and he nodded slowly, grasping Haru's wrist, removing the finger and bringing that hand round to the back of his head and he leaned forward and captured the raven haired teens lips with his own. He felt Haru grips his hair tightly, running his other hand down Sousuke's muscled chest. They broke apart and smiled at one another before Sousuke's eyes bulged and he scrambled up, grabbing his jacket.
"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!" Sousuke exclaimed, running to the door, placing a hand on the knob before he stopped. He ran back to find Haruka sitting up, his hair all over the place, rubbing his eye. Sousuke jumped on him kissing him full on the mouth before jumping back up again. "Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! See you later Haru."
Haruka watched dazed from the kiss as Sousuke fled from the room, hearing the front door slam close and decided to check the time.
"Oh shit indeed." Haruka yawned, stretching his arms above his head. He place a hand on his lips and smiled. "Guess I'll be late for school."
