Sousuke couldn't help but notice how Haruka would never stick around after practice the past few months. As soon as Rin would announce the end, Haru would fly from the pool and out the door. Obviously, Sousuke wasn't the only one to find it weird as Haruka was such a water freak. Rin had raised concerns to Haru himself, only to be given the famous Haru look and a simple shrug.

The two watched as the boy almost ran from the building, leaving his teammates behind. Rin waddled up to Makoto and motioned his head to the door.

"So where does Haru head off to in such a hurry all the time?"

"Boyfriend."

Rin seemed to choke on his own saliva and had to stop and process what Makoto was announcing. The others had joined them now after watched Rin from afar.

"BOYFRIEND?!" Rin yelped.

"Haru-chan has a boyfriend?" Nagisa's eyes sparkled.

"He didn't tell you?" Makoto seemed stunned and slightly guilty. He'd had just betrayed Haruka's trust, only because he thought they all knew. They all seemed surprised, most with their mouths dropped open. One caught the greens giants eyes. The stone-faced butterfly swimmer was staring at the door, a confused look on his face.

"Who is it? What's he like? Is he hot?" Rin, Nagisa and Gou spoke in unison. Makoto flushed red, throwing his hands out, shaking them from side to side.

"I can't say. I haven't met him yet."

When Makoto glanced back at Sousuke, he wasn't there. The tall, teal-eyed male was already walking up the sidewalk. Hands in pockets, head lowered, thoughts running through his mind. Haru had a boyfriend. Of course, that shouldn't upset him but it did. The feeling of jealousy and anger welled inside him. As much as he hated to admit it, he liked Haruka. The nonchalant, calm ravenette seemed to hit a spot in Sousuke. The spot where his stomach would flip when the freestyle swimmer would give him a certain look. Or his heart would increase in pace when Haruka would give him a fleeting of a smile. Even when Haru just glances at him had Sousuke feeling heat pulse through him.

He was about to turn the corner when he heard a familiar voice. Haruka. Sousuke stopped at the corner and peered around. Haruka was frozen on the path, staring at two males making out by a tree. Sousuke watched as the taller male glanced behind him after Haru called his name and his eyes exploded.

"Haruka. I didn't think you'd be out for another hour." The boy spoke, throwing the other boy away.

"Practice finished early," Haruka spoke, void of emotion. "I wanted to surprise you."

The tall brunette approached the male, grasping his hand and kissing it lightly. "Consider me surprised."

He glanced at his boyfriend, noticing the ocean blue eyes were glazed over, in anger and sadness. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Haruka ripped his hand away, he motioned to the blonde who was standing away away, confusion written on his face. "Who's that?"

"Oh him, just a friend."

Haruka rolled his eyes and pushed the boy away. "Don't treat me like an idiot."

The freestyle swimmer began to walk away when a hand grasped his wrist and twisted it. Haruka let out a yelp of pain, turning to find his 'boyfriend' towering over him.

" Where are you going?"

"Haru!"

Both boys heads twisted to see Sousuke moving towards them. The blonde roughly let go of Haruka and put an arm around his hip. Haruka flinched and grasped his wrist, hiding it from the approaching butterfly swimmer.

"Sousuke."

"I've been looking everywhere for you," Sousuke spoke. Haruka rose a brow in surprise. Sousuke seemed to be oblivious to the overhanging conversation and continued like an argument hadn't happened. "You said you'd tutor me remember?"

"I did?"

"Yeah, my sex ed exam is coming up and I need to get to know the body."

Sousuke lets a tiny smirk appear on his face as the brunette tightened his hold on Haru. So Sousuke continued. "Rin's gonna be out for the afternoon so we'll be alone, more comfortable without an audience."

Haruka knew what Sousuke was doing, clearly, he'd seen the whole thing. Haru smiled a little, Sousuke was trying to help him get away. Haruka went to move towards the bigger male when he was flushed tighter against the male beside him. Sousuke noticed the hold and took his attention to the other male. A flicker of hatred ran through his eye as he took him in. Pretty boy, yes. Dickhead, absolutely.

"I'm Sousuke, you are?"

"Narua. Haruka's boyfriend."

"Huh, that's weird." Sousuke eyed him dangerously. "Haru's never mentioned a boyfriend before."

Narua flinched at this and clawed at Haru's hip. Sousuke saw the recoil of pain run across Haru's body and crossed his arms.

"I can see why."

"What?" The brunette growled.

"I suggest planning your affairs better. At least try to attempt to be a good two timing scum."

Haruka was released from his hold and watched as Narua attempted and failed at intimidating the taller and broader Sousuke. Sousuke simply ignored him and offered Haru his hand.

"Come on, we got some sex education to indulge in."

Haruka gave Narua one last glance and gladly took Sousuke's hand. They walked off, Haruka was silent, he could still feel the little pulse of pain in his wrist. He was relieved when Sousuke arrived, seeing him had Haru flooded in relief. They were still holding hands and Haru couldn't help but compare them to Narua's.

Where Narua's were soft and feminine, Sousuke's were rough, warm and had engulfed his own. Safe. Haru glanced at the teal-eyed man and let a small smile grace his lips. Sousuke despite being known to bottle his feelings was showing his immense emotions so clearly. His eyes were narrowed, his teeth gritting together. Haruka could almost imagine the anger bulge from his head exploding.

"Thank you."

Sousuke nodded and bit his lip before speaking.

"He's kind of a jerk. Why him?"

Haru sighed, he knew this was coming but he thought it'd come from Makoto rather than the stoic Sousuke.

"He cared, you know, about my problems and listened." Haruka frowned.

Sousuke tightened his hold on Haruka's hand.

"You know I care to. I listen."

They made it back to Sousuke's dorm and Sousuke finally let go of Haruka's hand. He quickly grasped the boy's other hand and pushed his sleeve up. A purple bruise was appearing and Sousuke tutted. Not even processing what he was doing he lifted the boy's shirt and peels his jammers from his hip. Red claw marks marked Haru's hip. Sousuke ran a hand over the mark and froze when he heard a soft hum of pleasure. He glanced up to see Haru with his eyes shut, a slight flush to his cheeks. Sousuke experimentally ran another hand over the sore and a rush of lust came over him as Haruka let out a silent gasp and put his hands against the wall. Haruka seemed to realise what he was doing and backed away.

"Sorry." Haru glanced at the ground, as he back hit the wall. "Weak spot."

"I wonder what other weak spots you have." Sousuke moved towards him, mouth aimed at the freestyle swimmers neck. Haruka let out a gasp as he felt Sousuke nip. Sousuke suddenly moved away, causing Haru to let out a little whine.

"We shouldn't be doing this. You've just broken up with your boyfriend."

Haruka gave Sousuke an 'are you being serious right now' look and pulled on the taller teen's shirt. Their lips connected and Sousuke gave in to his temptation and pushed Haru back into the wall. Haruka let out a quiet yelp before moaning as Sousuke ran a hand over his hip.

They somehow managed to manoeuvre their way to the bunk. Haruka had pushed Sousuke down firmly, lips connected, roaming each other's mouths. Haru threw his shirt off and helped Sousuke with his.

"Top…" Sousuke mumbled, pushing lightly on Haru's shoulder. Haruka leant up and gave him a confused glance. "Top bunk. Rin would never forgive me if we, you know, on this bunk."

Haruka rolled his eyes and smoothly removed himself from Sousuke and began to climb the ladder. Sousuke quickly followed suit undoing his pants as he climbed. Haruka pulled Sousuke to him and smashed their lips together. Sousuke pushed Haru down, his tiny body being engulfed by huge muscles.

Rin headed up to his room after he extracted all the information he could about Haruka's mysterious boyfriend, ready to establish a board of possibilities. When he entered his shared room with his best friend he didn't expect to see several pieces of inappropriate clothing scattered on the floor. He noticed the Iwatobi swim jacket and rose a brow. He climbed the ladder to Sousuke's bunk and he almost lost grip and fall back. The sleeping face of Haruka Nanase was inches away from his own and Rin's eye twitched in annoyance. Sousuke's arm was across the freestyles waist, covered by the thin sheet. Sousuke was the boyfriend. Rin was going to have a stern word with the two of them when they woke.
