Hey hey guys! This story is ever so slightly longer than the others. By like 3,000 words but whatever haha. This is a camping fic, if you guys enjoy this story I'll probably carry on with it.
Well enjoy, let me know if you want a continuation of this particular story. Or any others.
"We can go camping for the school holidays!" Nagisa exclaimed shaking Rin's arm hard. Rin grinned and nodded in agreement.
"We need supplies! Tents! Food!-"
"-How are we going to get there geniuses?" Sousuke spoke up over Nagisa and Rin's enthusiastic talk. Rin's mouth was left open while Nagisa's head sagged.
"I don't know." Rin pouted. "Why haven't we got our licences yet?!"
When everything seemed lost Momo piped up giving their teams hope.
"My brother is heading up there that weekend. I'm sure he'd give us a lift."
"Excellent! Now what about the rest of us?" Rin counted. "They'll be three of us without a car."
"Four."Sousuke grunted.
"Huh?"
"Haru."
"Right. So four of us without a lift."
"I think I can help with that." Makoto announced. "Just give me a minute."
Rin and the gang watches as Makoto moved away dialling a number. They waited almost five minutes of Makoto hanging up and recalling the mysterious help. When the person on the other end finally answered Makoto had a quiet heated discussion before finally sighing and thanking them.
"They'll drive us." Makoto smiled as he pocketed his phone.
"Awesome!" Rin grinned. "Now lets get planning!"
To Rin's luck and thanks Momo's brother gladly accepted and was excited to see his old swim mates. Makoto's mystery driver was still unknown and he refused to tell them anything. When Rin told Haru of their plans he just frowned, grunted and dived back into the pool. Shrugging it off as typical Haru, Rin didn't expect what he was about to experience.
The morning of camping trip. Everyone agreed to meet up at Nagisa's house and were discussing who would be in each car.
"Alright so that's settled. Nagisa, Rei, Nitori and Momo will ride with Seijuro. And the rest with Makoto's mysterious driver."
"Where is Haru-chan?" Nagisa sighed. "He's always late."
"He's coming, don't worry. " Makoto smiled. Rin noticed a hint of mischief in his voice and cocked his head to the side. He was about to question him when a knock echoed through the house.
"That should be my brother." Momo announced. Nagisa left the room to let him in.
"Why didn't you come with him?" Nitori asked.
"He had some errands to run beforehand."
Nagisa returned with Momo's brother in tow, smiling at the sight of his old school friends. Rin and Nitori went to greet their old captain, hugging friendly and making small talk. Makoto's phone rang and he excused himself before answering. He went to leave when Rin grabbed his arm. Rin refused to let him go. He wanted to know who the driver was and wanted to figure it out by the phone call. The voice on the other end was muffled.
"What do you mean your driving?!" Makoto's eyes widened. "Get off your phone."
"It's on bluetooth." The voice replied. "I'll be there in a minute."
"Alright. We'll come outside with our stuff."
Makoto hung up and smiled. "Har- He's almost here."
"Alright. Lets go guys!" Nagisa exclaimed rushing to grab his supplies. Nagisa raced outside dragging Rei behind him. They made it outside just as a big black 4x4 showed up.
"When's Haru getting here?" Rin asked slightly worried but annoyed.
"Keep your pants on Rin. I'm here."
Rin's heard the voice from the newly arrived car and watched in disbelief as Haruka Nanase emerged from the drivers side.
"You can drive?!" Rin exploded, eyeing the car, roaming over it, eyes landing on the green P plate on the front windscreen.
"You've been holding out on us Haru-chan!"
"Are we going or not?" Haru grumbled, fingerings his keys.
"Lets go camping!" Momo pumped his fist in the air before dragging his stuff to his brothers car. Rin, Sousuke and even Makoto approached Haru's car with caution.
"Why didn't you tell us Haru was driving?!"
"He didn't want anyone to know. I haven't even driven in it yet."
"I wonder why." Sousuke seemed curious. Makoto just shrugged. The boys placed their luggage with Haru's in the boot and entered his car.
"This is a nice car." Rin pointed out, leaning back feeling the soft comfortable seats. "Where did you get this from?"
"Parents." Haruka answered, turning on the engine and waited for Momo's brother to move. Rin reached out and grabbed Haru's phone that was sitting in the phone slot.
"You have no music." Rin sighed, "Typical."
Rin went onto youtube and smiled figuring out what to listen to and waited for the car to register it through the bluetooth. The music began to play and Makoto noticed Haru's ears prick up in recognition. A voice began to sing and Haru's brows furrowed and he slammed his finger on pause button on his stereo.
"Come on Haru. Don't be so boring." Rin pouted.
"Where did you find this?" Haru asked, eyes focused on the road.
"I just found it. I was on youtube instead of studying as you do and I ended up listening to this guy. "
"Who is it?" Makoto asked, eyeing his best friend curiously. However Rin answered instead.
"I have no idea. The guy that uploads them say it isn't him. The singer doesn't know about it and must stay in the dark otherwise he'll demand them to be taken down and apparently he wants the world to listen to his friends music."
"What's his youtube name?" Sousuke asked, plucking his phone from his pocket.
"ButterflyPenguin. Kinda stupid if you ask me." Rin shrugged, slumping back in his seat. "Haru please put it back on. I'm dying of boredom back here."
Haru sighed before pressing play and frowned as the voice of the man continued singing. During the journey Makoto glanced over from his seat to see Haruka had lightened up about the song choice and noticed the boys lips moving ever so slightly. He was lip syncing to the song and Makoto smiled. He glanced behind him to find Sousuke snoozing in his seat. Head leant against the window his breath making little foggy circles on the glass. Rin on the other hand was typing away on his phone, smiling.
Sousuke woke with a start as a loud sound entered the car. Realising it was a ringtone emitting from Haru's car, Makoto answered it and Momo's brothers voice filled their ears.
"Hey guys. About half an hour to go. How are we holding up?"
"Good. Haru's being a little controlling." Haru gave Rin a quick glance of annoyance.
"A car is a precious thing. I get it."
"How are you guys doing?" Rin asked.
"Amazing Rin-chan!" Nagisa voiced. "We're having so much fun."
"Hey give that back." They heard Nitori speak out. They heard Momo giggle and Rei even let out an amused sound.
"Well I'll leave you guys to it. See you when we get there."
"Yeah see you Seijuro."
He hung up and the music started up again.
"They're having so much more fun over there."Rin cried out. "Why did I come with you guys?"
"You can get out and walk the rest of the way." Haru suggested earning a scolding scowl from Makoto.
"Haru."
"Well we could at least play a game or something."
"Like what?" Makoto asked, turning in his seat to look at the red head.
"Anything, I spy, coloured cars. Even just talking would be better than what we've been doing."
"Okay. We can talk." Makoto smiled. "Why don't you start us off Haru?"
Haru sighed and sunk slightly in his seat in defeat. "Is there a pool where we are staying?"
Sousuke snorted in amusement, Makoto sighed at Haru's question and Rin rolled his eyes.
"No. We're in a forest. They're might be a lake."
Haru complemented this, his lip jutting out in consideration. He hummed before finally nodding. "I can deal with that."
"I don't care if you can or not." Rin snapped. "Now how come you never told us you could drive?"
"You never asked."
"Haru!" Rin growled, anger getting the better of him.
"I just didn't. I didn't need to learn. Everything is in walking distance so I never really used it unless I was visiting my parents for the weekend."
"You visit your parents on the weekend?" Makoto seemed surprised.
"They've moved back here. Couple of hours away. I'll talk to you about it later." Haruka replied, not wanting to explain something personal.
"So who taught you to drive?" Sousuke asked, joining the conversation.
"Instructor."
"Where did you get the money for that?" Rin exclaimed. He'd hardly spent any money to save up for driving lessons yet he was still far from getting more than at least three sessions.
"Parents."
Their conversation continued for the rest of the journey until Haruka interrupted.
"We're here guys."
They all looked out the windows to find themselves turning onto a narrow, rough road. Rin glanced behind to find Momo and Nagisa waving frantically at him from Seijuro's car. Rin gave them a small wave and grinned a toothy grin. Haruka found their camping spot and drew his car in the spot provided. Momo's brother stopped on the road and helped his brother and friends grab their belongings before bidding them goodbye and good luck before driving off. Sousuke glanced around their camp. An average sized grassy area. Enough for their tents and barbecue.
"Nagisa." Sousuke heard Haruka call a little bitterly. He watched as Haru dragged the poor confused blonde away from sight.
"Yo Sou." Rin called, Sousuke just barely caught his luggage that was thrown at him.
They set up their camp, Sousuke placing his tent next to Rin's. Nagisa and Haru had still not returned but the others hadn't seemed to notice, busying themselves with their tents. Sousuke's brow began to wrinkle with worry. What if they got lost. Surely Haruka wasn't that idiotic to take them too far. He was about to take action when he heard Nagisa's hyped voice. He sighed in relief and turned back to avoid getting caught worrying. Nagisa quickly pitched his tent with Nitori's, while Haru walked back to his car. Sousuke watched Haru from the corner of his eye, burrowing through the luggage. Haru furrowed his brow before calling out to Makoto.
"Where's my tent?"
Makoto toddled over, moving things around, before his eyes widened and he winced. The image of Haru's tent leaning on the wall.
"I left it by the door. Sorry Haru."
Haru sighed, patting Makoto on the arm. "It's okay. I'll sleep in the car."
"No you won't." Rin floated up behind him. "If we have to suffer in these tiny tents without aircon then so will you."
"You can share my tent Haru." Makoto offered.
"Oh no." Rin's eyes lit up in mischief. "That's too comfy. He'll share with Sousuke. He has the biggest tent."
Haru shrugged, nodding, he grabbed his gear and made his way over to Sousuke who was bent down, head in his tent. Sousuke jumped when Haru called his name and pulled his head out.
"Yes Haru?"
"I'm sleeping with you tonight."
"What?" Images of activities that shouldn't have been imagined entered Sousuke's head.
"I don't have anywhere to sleep. So Rin suggested sleeping with you."
"Oh, okay." Sousuke scratched his chin. Before Sousuke could say any more Haru threw his bag into Sousuke's tent and thanked the teal eyed teen.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Makoto glanced at Rin from the corner of his eye, frowning at the toothy grin Rin was showing.
"Of course. If I can't have air con then neither can Haru. Plus I'm sure Sousuke will enjoy the company."
Makoto hummed in complementation before sighing. "I hope you're right about this."
"When have I ever been wrong?" Rin crossed his arms before motioning to Nitori and Nagisa who were giggling away at Rei's attempt at pitching a tent.
"Fine, but if either of them complains tomorrow Haru will sleeping in my tent."
"Deal." Rin nodded before shuffling over to the flustered Rei to help.
The first day of camping consisted of sorting everything out, checking out everyone's tents and relaxing. Rin was sitting comfortably in his camp chair when Sousuke dropped down beside him. They both watched as Momo and Haru prepared dinner.
"So, Haru seemed pretty chilled about sleeping in the same tent as you."
"Why did you do it?" Sousuke asked never taking his eye off of the cooks.
"Do what?" Rin asked.
"You knew Haru would have been perfectly fine sleeping with Makoto. So why?"
Rin shrugged. "I just felt that maybe you guys needed some bonding time."
"We're out in the woods. How will we not bond?" Sousuke sipped on his Coke.
"I mean more intimately."
Sousuke choked and punched Rin on the shoulder. "You little shit."
Rin eyed him knowingly. "I know you've already thought about it."
"I have not!" He exclaimed.
"I don't blame you. He's a good looking guy."
They both turned to examine the raven haired teen. His piercing blue eyes concentrating as his cut the onion with precision and finesse. Haruka helped Momo with the burgers on the bbq and rolled his shoulder, his muscles flexing, Sousuke and Rin making internal moaning noises. Haru ran a hand through his hair and felt eyes on him. He glanced at the two guilty boys and watched them as they waved clumsily and let out a small chuckle when Rin pushed Sousuke and he fell to the side out of his chair. Sousuke bounced up and jumped on the red head.
"What was that for?!" Sousuke growled, his hand pushing Rin's head to the floor, while trying to pin Rin's arms down.
"Get off of me." Rin's voice was muffled. His hand found Sousuke's face and pushed upwards. They were both grunting trying to get the upper hand.
"What are you two doing?" Makoto voiced, a amused smile on his face. The two boys stopped grunting and their eyes turned to the back stroke swimmer. They both gave a sweet smile to the teen before continuing their fight. Makoto sighed, glancing over at Haru who was suppressing a laugh. Makoto noticed smoke from behind him and glanced at the bbq.
"Haru the burgers!" Makoto exclaimed. Haruka snapped out of his daze and swore under his breath. He quickly turned them over.
"I'm bored." Rin announced after dinner as they all sat around the fire. The only noise of the fire flickering and cracking. Rin glanced around the fire at his friends. Nagisa was snoozing on Nitori's shoulder. Momo was showing Rei a beetle he found earlier, every little detail about the beetles wings was discussed. Makoto was poking the fire with a stick. Sousuke was...wait where was Sousuke? And Haru? Rin furrowed his brow. He glanced behind him and his eyes widened, when did they move over there? Sousuke and Haru were laying on their backs staring up at the night sky. Haru was pointing up, pointing out several stars and connecting the dots. Sousuke chuckled and made his own shapes. Rin smiled to himself, he was glad his friends were getting along. After their school fair there was a new founded respect for one another and Rin was glad for it. He hated watching them tear at each others throats and prayed something would change their hearts. Now the two of them were laying close to one another, their shoulders touching. Rin watched as Sousuke turned his head to watch Haru and smiled affectionately as Haru pointed out another shape and let a smile grace his lips.
"Haven't thought about it my arse." Rin muttered under his breath.
"Thought about what?" Makoto asked beside him. Rin jumped slightly and swung around.
"I-er- nothing." Rin waved a hand in dismissal. "Just talking to myself."
"Okay well I'm heading to bed. The others have gone ahead. Night Rin."
Sure enough when Rin went around the fire once more his friends had disappeared. Rin nodded at Makoto and made his own way to his tent. He called out to the love birds before retiring.
"Will one of you smother the fire before you head to bed?"
They both tilted their heads to find Rin, upside down entering his tent. He zipped it up and now the two of them were alone. They suddenly realised their closeness and shuffled away.
"We better get to bed."
Haruka nodded in agreement and went over to smother the flames. Sousuke laid down, staring up at the tent point. His heart was racing slightly from the closeness of the raven haired boy. He'd never been more comfortable with the teen and a small smile made its way onto his face. His eyes flickered to the tent flap as Haruka crawled in, laying down beside him. They laid side by side, silent. Both too awkward to say anything.
"Sousuke?" Haru whispered finally, breaking the silence. Sousuke hummed in question quietly. "I'm sorry for this year."
"What are you talking about?" Sousuke twisted his body so he was now laying on his side, staring at Haru in confusion.
"I wasn't very friendly towards you." Haru flickered his eye to the teen beside him.
"I was a bit of a dick." Sousuke confessed. "If anyone should apologise it's me."
Haruka flipped onto his side and searched the teal eyes that were so intimidating yet alluring. "What are you doing after graduation?"
Sousuke's eyes widened. No one had asked him that yet, not even Rin, who seemed obsessed with the future. Honestly he hadn't even thought about it. His shoulder took up most of mind and therapy took up most of his time.
"I don't know." He replied. "I haven't really thought about it. What about you?"
"I have no idea." Haruka let out a relief sigh. "I'm glad I'm not the only one."
"You're not going to continue swimming?"
Haru frowned, noticing the slight surprised yet anger seeping through Sousuke as he voiced his question.
"I-I-I don't know." Haru stuttered running a hand through his hair. He'd thought about swimming professionally after he graduated but was that what he really wanted? He loved the water, being one with it but was competing his dream? No that was Rin's dream and had assumed Haru would allow him to drag him along. And Haruka had let him. But at school with the application he couldn't think. The future was uncertain and he knew that competitive swimming was something he had considered and rejected. He knew everyone would be disappointed but it wasn't up to them to decide. Was it? "I just hate the thought that everyone expects me to swim. That expectation kinda puts me off the idea. You know?"
Sousuke lightened at the hopeful eye Haruka sent his way. He understood. Of course he did. His parents, Rin, his school, teachers, hell even he, himself expected him to swim to his highest standard. He trained so hard, resulting in stuffed shoulder. Now he was stuck in therapy for another couple years and a growing distance from swimming.
"So if not swimming, dancing perhaps?" Sousuke smirked at the disgust look on Haruka's face and let out a silent chuckle not wanting to wake the others. "What about singing?"
Haruka stiffened and hoped in all god that Sousuke hadn't noticed. His hopes were crushed when Sousuke propped himself on his elbow. "You okay?"
"Fine. We should get some sleep." Haruka turned his back to the teal eyed teen. "Goodnight Sousuke."
Sousuke frowned in disappointment, he flopped down onto his back and closed his eyes. "Goodnight Haru."
Sousuke woke that morning to a cute, high pitched squeal and several shushes. He groggily opened his eyes glancing at the tent entrance to find Nagisa, Rin and Nitori smiling at him. He furrowed his brow in confusion and gave them a questioning look.
"Why are you in my-" Sousuke stiffened at the sound of a sleepy moan and felt a foot run up his leg. He glanced down to find Haruka snuggled up to his muscled chest, shallow breaths tickling his skin. Sousuke noticed his arm of the teens waist and snapped it away like he just burnt himself. He heard a teasing snigger and stared daggers at the red haired teen.
"Get out." Sousuke hushed quickly.
"But you guys are so cute Sou-chan." Nagisa sighed dreamily. Nitori rolled his eyes, noting the embarrassed tint of Sousuke's cheek, he grasped Nagisa's hand and pulled him away. "Nitori-chan, wait!"
Sousuke glanced down at the sleeping raven haired teen and swiped his fringe from his brow out of instinct and ran a finger down the side of his features.
"You really like him, don't you?"
Sousuke jumped and snapped his head to find Rin still lingering.
"I thought you'd gone." Sousuke sighed, resting his head on his knee. "What do you want?"
"Just wondering when you two love bugs were going to join us for breakfast?"
"Alright we're coming." He shooed the red head away and waited for him to disappear from sight before he turned to the sleeping Haru. He shook him gently whispering his name.
"Mmmm, what?" Haruka sniffed, rubbing his eyes. He glanced up and met teal, remembering he slept in Sousuke's tent, he relaxed.
"Breakfast is ready." Sousuke chuckled at the oblivious swimmer and found it cute that Haru was not a morning person. Haruka sat up, blinking blearily at Sousuke who was now suppressing a laugh.
"What?" Haru asked.
"Nothing." Sousuke shook his head, not daring to glance his way. "Come on, or the food will all be gone."
Haru was left by himself, wondering what Sousuke found so funny. He shrugged it off, the mention of food making his tummy rumble. He stretched his arms above his head, grunting in satisfaction at the cracking noises. Haruka made his way to the entrance, yawning and squinted as the sun intruded as he opened the flap.
"Morning Haru." A chirpy voice filled his ears.
"Morning Makoto."Haru grumbled. Not having a bath was starting to make Haru grumpy. The water soothed his tired limbs and mind. With no water around Haru was less than pleased. Makoto made his way over and started to flatten his hair.
"How'd you sleep?" Makoto asked, slight worry filled his voice.
"Like a baby." Haru blinked blearily. He caught Sousuke staring at him with an amused smile.
"Your hair is so stubborn." Makoto pushed hard on Haruka's head. Makoto lifted his hands and sighed in defeat as the strands just popped right back up.
"Yo Haru, nice bed hair." Rin called out, earning a scowl and a angry growl from the raven haired teen. "Woah there beast boy. No need to be savage."
Haru turned his back to him and crossed his arms as Makoto made another attempt to tame Haru's wild hair.
Nagisa noticing Haruka's grumpy behaviour and knew what he could do. He approached the two best friends, whispering something in Haru's ear. Haru's ear twitched, he eyes widened and he glanced at Nagisa in hope. Nagisa led Haru away, into the trees.
"Where are they going?" Rin furrowed his brow. Makoto sat beside him, shrugging.
"I think I heard Nagisa say something about a waterfall."
Rin bounced from his chair, pulling Sousuke up and dragging him in the direction where the two boys had just gone.
"Where are we going?" Sousuke grumbled, flicking a bug from his shoulder.
"There's water dude. We can clean!" Rin called over his shoulder. He didn't know or care how Nagisa found the waterfall but if it was real he would have to squeeze the life out of him in thanks. They'd been walking for a while when Rin's ears began to pick something up that wasn't nature. Music. Rin furrowed his brow. Just music. He let the music be his guide as he began to jog to the source with a annoyed Sousuke trailing behind. As he got closer a voice echoed through the trees.
"Hey isn't that the guy we listened to on the way up here?" Sousuke caught up.
"Yeah." Rin furrowed his brow. "Maybe Naigsa's heard of him too."
They finally reached their destination as the music faded and Rin crouched down peeping over, spying on his two friends. Well he would of done that. If it was not for Sousuke tripping over a tree root and falling into him, causing the two of them to topple through the bush and end up tangled together, staring at an amused Haru and a giggling Nagisa upside down.
"Hey guys." Nagisa greeted. "You here for a bath too?"
Rin and Sousuke untangled themselves and brushed themselves down. They both looked up at the same time and bonked heads causing them to stumble back and grasp their heads in pain.
"Ah Sousuke. That hurt." Rin growled. Sousuke was caught unaware when Rin pushed him hard and he lost his balance. He was thrown backwards, his heart spiked when his foot found mid air and he flailed his arms. He smashed his eyes together as he felt something cold rush over his body. He opened his eyes to find himself soaked to the bone, the water lapping up to him. He shivered and lifted himself up, glaring daggers at the laughing teens. His target was snorting in laughter , pointing in his direction.
"That does it." Sousuke mumbled under his breath. He removed his jumper, which took his t-shirt along with it and ran at Rin. The said boy's eyes widened in fear.
"Wait Sousuke, wait, I didn't, wait-"
Sousuke lifted Rin over his shoulder and walked to the edge of the pool. Sousuke used all his might to fling the protesting red head as high and long as he could and smirked in victory at the big, loud splash Rin caused. Rin resurfaced and pouted in his direction.
"What was that for?"
Sousuke gaped at him in disbelief. He then addressed himself and Rin grinned.
"Alright fine. I guess I had it coming."
Sousuke attention was swiftly taken as Haru ran passed him and dived into the water. Rin swam over as Haruka emerged and pushed his head down under the water. Sousuke swore he saw Haru roll his eyes before he was submerged. Rin yelped in surprise as he was pulled under by the free style swimmer. Nagisa walked up to Sousuke, his lip bitten in worry.
"Should we do something Sou-chan?"
"Nah, they'll be fine." Sousuke waved him off. "Come on, lets join them."
Nagisa send him a sweet smile and threw his shirt off in a Haru fashion and jumped in. Sousuke with much effort managed to take his soaked shoes off and waved them in front of his face.
"I only just bought these." Sousuke pouted.
"Come on sulky. I'll buy you a new pair." Rin called out, huffing slightly. Haruka emerged behind him, completely fine, like he was made to live in the water. Sousuke sighed, placing them gently beside him and removed his trousers leaving him in only his boxers. He faltered as he ran as he caught Haruka's eye and noticed a thin sheet of red dust his cheeks. Haru flickered his eye away and Sousuke tripped and thankfully fell into the water. When he popped up Rin was beside him.
"Elegant."
"Shut up." Sousuke grunted. Rin just laughed and went back over to Haru who was now joined by the enthusiastic Nagisa.
Sousuke couldn't get Haru out of his head. The way the raven haired teen looked at him had Sousuke's head spinning in circles. The dusted cheeks made Sousuke head hurt and where those big blue eyes were looking caused him to heat up and yearn to touch him.
Why was he feeling this way? It made no sense. Sousuke despised the free style swimmer until about a month ago and now he was thinking about doing naughty things to him. Maybe it was the fresh air. Or the grass. Or Haruka was doing it on purpose. Sousuke nodded. Yup that was it. He didn't actually want to touch him up, Haru was just playing minds game.
"What are you nodding about?" Rin nudged his best friend. Sousuke jumped slightly before turning to Rin.
"Have you ever had a sexual encounter?" Sousuke asked, he wasn't embarrassed by the question, he knew Rin would take it seriously and he was glad they could talk about anything.
"Mmmm, not really. I mean the closest thing to a sexual encounter I've had is tripping over and my head landing in Haru's crutch."
Sousuke snorted and felt a slight anger feeling towards Rin.
"Have you thought about, you know, it?"
"How old do you think I am? Of course I have."
"Sorry, stupid question." Sousuke smirked. "With who?"
"You really wanna know?" Rin leaned back in his chair. Sousuke nodded. "Well there was Makoto, Rei, Seijuro, That tall dude in our swim team and Haru. What about you?"
"Honestly?" Sousuke rose a brow. Rin cocked a brow in curiosity in return. "Just Haru."
"I bloody knew you liked him!" Rin exclaimed out of happiness. He slapped a hand over his mouth and apologised with his eyes as Nagisa entered the conversation.
"Liked who?"
"I, er..." Rin stumbled.
"That's none of your business Nagisa." Makoto sighed, "Now go help Haru and Rei with lunch."
Nagisa pouted before cheering up and rushing off to Haru who was chopping an onion finely, while Rei was sniffling back tears.
"Thanks Makoto." Rin smiled, "You saved me there."
"Eh I help where I can." Makoto shrugged, walking off to gather the bug lover and his grey haired companion.
"If you guys are going to have sex, could you keep it down?" Rin asked. "Cause I'm right next door and I don't need to hear what Haru sounds like during climax."
"You got it." Sousuke rolled his eyes. "I didn't want to know what you sounded like. But we don't always get what we want."
"You know I was trying to do it quietly." Rin pointed out. "And I thought you were asleep."
"Well I wasn't and you've scarred me for life."
"Oh come on, I've apologised countless times."
"For what?" Haru slumped down in front of them, glancing between the two.
"Nothing-"
"I caught him masturbating."
"So have I." Haruka shrugged like it was no big deal.
"Haru!" Rin growled. "Shut up."
Haru gave him a 'seriously' look before he heard a yelp and knew that Nagisa had intervened with Rei's cooking and left the two boys alone to remedy the situation.
"Haru-chan told me to come and tell you about the time he caught Rin-chan masturbating."
"HARU!"
Night fell and the swimmers was gathered round the fire, blankets over shoulders, trying to keep warm. Nagisa who was snuggled between Nitori's legs was watching the raven haired teen and his best friend talk. Rei pushed his glasses further upon his nose, causing Nagisa to smile. He loved it when the purple haired boy did that. He knew that Rei meant business and he could rely on him for anything. He was curious to know what his friends were talking about but didn't get to voice himself when Rin beat him to the punch.
"What are you two talking about?"
The two boys glanced up and Rei took the lead.
"The chemical compound of water and its structure. It's fairly simple. You-"
"-Stop yourself right there." Rin put up a hand. "Whatever you're about to say I won't understand."
Haruka rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. Rei let out a little chuckle and Rin narrowed his eyes.
"Got something to say Haru?"
"No." He replied nonchalantly. "I was just talking to myself."
Rin gave him the benefit of the doubt and sighed heavily, he turned to his best friend who was shivering non stop. Sousuke was wrapped tightly in his blanket, hoping to god that he wouldn't die of frost bite. He inched closer to the fire, feeling the heat seep through his body.
"Are you okay man?" Rin asked.
"Just a little cold." Sousuke's teeth chattered as he glanced at the red head.
"Do you need a hug?" Rin pouted.
"No, I just need a heating blanket and some cocoa."
"Yo Haru!" Rin called. Haruka gave him his attention and cocked a brow.
"Sousuke's freezing, he needs a hug."
To Rin's surprise Haru didn't even hesitate. The free style swimmer rose from his spot, made his way round the fire and plopped himself in front of Sousuke. He tapped Sousuke's knees which were tightly stuck together, trying to keep the warmth in. Sousuke hesitantly opened his legs and Haru twisted his body and nestled himself into the bigger teen. Sousuke then brought his arms around, engulfing them in his blanket. Sousuke felt Haru's arms rubbing his legs, attempting to warm him up. He placed his chin on the raven haired teens head and sighed in warmth as Haru's body heat was thawing his frozen body.
"You guys are so cute." Naigsa's voice rang out.
Sousuke heated up, his shivering had gone and his body was replaced with an sexual urge. Haru wasn't helping that feeling as he shuffled and his butt grinded against his shaft. Sousuke let out a quiet hiss which Haru heard and the raven haired teen wriggled some more.
"Haru stop moving." Sousuke whispered harshly.
"It's not my fault you're getting aroused." Haru replied, "I'm just trying to get comfortable."
"You're doing it on purpose." He seethed.
"I can move if you want." Haru suggested. Sousuke tightened his hold and Haru smiled slightly. "Okay."
Sleep deprived Sousuke as he laid in his tent. Haru was beside him, deep asleep. Sousuke sighed and pinched his brow. Stupid Haru and his stupid, cute, little face. His mind was racing about their incident earlier and wondered why Haruka had come to him in the first place. He glanced over at the sleeping raven haired swimmer and smiled softly. Haru was adorable when he slept. He was vulnerable, no scowling or impassive face staring holes into your soul. Sousuke gently ghosted a finger down Haru's face and stiffened when Haru moved. He waited for him to stop and to his horror Haru sought heat and found himself being nuzzled gently. Sousuke gulped in fear and placed his arm over Haru's waist and waited several seconds. To his luck Haru still didn't wake and instead moved closer to the heat source and let out a sound of satisfaction as he snuggled into Sousuke. Before Sousuke knew it, he had begun to doze off and knew from that moment he wasn't going to be able to sleep in the future without Haru beside him.
