It was late not to late, just late. Around 7:30 nearing 7:45. Was what the time read on his watch. They should be here soon, their train should be arriving. From the last text he received, telling him at least 10 minutes. Trying hard not let his worries get the best of him. Tempted to call them, just to make sure, but thought against it, knowing how they would act should he do just that. Since the new school started, the two of them in their last year of High School, no doubt they would be up in their necks with responsibilities. Both over their respective clubs. Not to mention this year was major. After so many years, their little sister would joining them at school. Which meant there was more on their plate. He understood how important their sister was to them, and knew she came first. Which he gladly accepted, having a younger sibling of his own. A year younger than their sister. Looking back at the time, reading it, he didn't realize the train had arrived.
"Seijuro!"
Hearing his name and knowing that voice and who it belong too, a smile spreads across his face. Turning and racing to his girlfriend. April O'Neil. An American girl who moved here years ago with her family, her father and younger sister. Her orange hair, put in a simple ponytail. Dressed in deep blue dress that matched her eyes with a white cardigan and black flats. Carrying her shoulder purse. Steps off the train, with his help of course. Seijuro didn't waste anytime and engulfs her in a tight hug. Making her giggle. So affectionate. Never afraid to show it. That was what she loved about him, he hadn't changed after three years of being together.
April looks up at him, Seijuro Mikoshiba, a tall, muscular young man, with slicked back, tousled, bright red hair and golden eyes. Almost matching her sister's. Almost, he had a darker complexion compared to others here and well built. It made sense, he was a swimmer. Not just any swimmer, the Captain. At Samezuka Academy. An all boarding school for boys. It was still in Iwatobi Town, just ways a ways from where she lived and from Iwatobi High, her school. She had to take a train in order get to the school. Or for her to see him. He would do the same too, take the train to see her, though he didn't like it when she waited for him. Especially, if it was at night. It wasn't right for a lady to wait, it was to be the other way around, the guy is to wait for the girl. Even so he still didn't like the idea of her having to take the train to come all the way to see him. Either way he didn't like, wishing she wished closer. But, she didn't. Her home was back there, so he accepted it. Though always made sure to arrive to station right after she texted him she had left. He would arrive early always. Checking his phone, it normally took about 20 minutes to arrive.
And the second he heard her calling him, he raced right over to her. Picking her up in his strong arms hugging her. He would hold her like this for at least a couple of minutes. Until she said something.
"Okay. Okay."she said, his signal to put her down. Which he does, though not before giving her a kiss. Catching her by surprise."Really?"
Seijuro just smirks and takes her hand in his, interlocking their fingers and walks away from the station. They do a quick chat to catch up, even though they have talked and texted about it to each other about it."So, how are things with May?"he asks."Does she like school?"
"Yeah. She seems to be mellowing in well. I showed her some clubs, I think she might be interested in."
"Oh? Really? Has she picked which one she might want to do?"He quickly tells April what they where going to be doing."By the way, I'm taking you out to this new Ramen Restaurant. It just opened up."
"Alright."She smiles, turning the conversation back to her sister."She hasn't picked one just yet. I did introduce her to some the leaders of the clubs, I think she would like. Judo, Photo, Tennis, Chess, and few others. They all seem like a nice fit for her, mainly Photo, in fact the club got a look at some the pictures she took and loved it. She seem somewhat interested, but fully."
"Really?"Seijuro was utterly shocked by this."I thought you said she really loved taking pictures? She had a real talent for that. I'm surprised she didn't bother with dance. You said she was really good in that."
"Yeah. She was."April said sadly."And with Photography. She loved taking pictures of life's most precious memories and moments. I bought her a camera in hopes to spark that. She seem happy, but I could tell she wasn't fully in it. When she was younger, she loved taking pictures. Now, it seems she doesn't have that spark like before. I've noticed she's taken down that old photo album. I caught looking at it, in the late of night."A worried sigh escapes her.
Looking to his girlfriend seeing her concern and worry. It was bothering her, ever since her sister returned after some years. He knew what the history behind that was. When April told him, that May was going to join her in school for the first time in years. She was so thrilled, to be able to spend this time with her sister. She wanted her sister to make so many memories as she had done before. Having missed out on them. As he recalled, from what April told him, May had it rather rough when she came to live here. She kept to herself a lot. Withdrawn. Insecure. Nervous. Scared and not to mention easily frighten. She easily exploded into tears or would not bother to cry. The transition from moving took a heavy toll on the poor girl. And to add to it, others either ignored her or picked on her. Making it much harder.
She didn't have any friends. Unlike April, who managed to adjust in just fine. And quickly befriend many, while scaring a few others. Even so, April was still there for her sister. Trying to help her branch out. But, May wouldn't want to do that. All the negativity was just too much for the little girl. Her only solace was taking pictures.
"I don't like when May, acts like this."April solemnly says."Acting like everything is alright. How can I leave my sister, when she's in this state? Knowing she's not alright."
Squeezing her just a bit, April looks up at him. He smiles down at her, assuring her everything would alright. April looked ready to cry, being overly concerned for her sister."I know your worried about May, I am too. I know she'll find her way."
Touched by what he said, it slightly helped."Thank you. I just wish her old friends, were around. They always made her happy, being in their presence. Actually, whenever she went to our old swim club to meet up with them. That place was her safe haven. She enjoyed taking pictures of them, saying those where life's precious moments. Never had seen such life and happiness in her eyes."She smiles remembering. Looking up."Those guys where so good to her. Makoto, Nagisa, Haru, Gou and Rin. I wish Swim Club was still around. Things would be different. May would actually be happy. Instead of looking at the old pictures feeling sad and guilty. She has to know it wasn't her fault. But, knowing her she's going to believe it is. I just want her to smile again."
Hearing what she said, it clicked."What a minute what names did you just say?"
"Makoto, Nagisa, Haru, Gou and Rin."April looks at slightly confused."Why?"A big smile spreads across his face, he started to laugh a bit. It slightly scared April. Who freaked out. Wondering was wrong with her boyfriend."What?! What is it!?"
Laughing heartily, Seijuro looks at her."What are the odds of this happening. Those names..."April wasn't following him. She demands he tell her."Hey, why don't you have May come to my school. After school. Tell her to bring her camera. I think I have a surprise for her."
Still not following and knowing Seijuro wouldn't tell her."What is it? What is that you know? Why do you need my sister?"She starts to firing question, becoming upset. But Seijuro pays her rising temperament no mind. Instead just tells her it's a surprise for May. But he would tell her. Which didn't help. His laughter with her anger made the situation comical. Pulling her in and kissing the top of her head."Come on, let's go eat."
"Why does Seijuro want me to go to his school? Again?"you asked, puzzled by what your sister just told you.
April just smiles at you, putting her hands on your shoulder."He...uh..he didn't say really. Just make sure to bring you camera."She stuffs her face with lunch, the two eating in the quad.
This morning during breakfast April told you what Seijuro told her to tell you. He wanted you to come to his school, after school with your camera. For reasons you didn't fully understand. It's not like you didn't want to go, Seijuro was April's boyfriend and he was a nice guy. You meet a few times via-webcaming with your sister. A very enthusiastic person, but kind and loved your sister. It was just out of the blue, he asked you to come to his school. Specifically to his Swim Club. The way April made it sound and Seijuro as he called to talk with you this morning making sure April told you that and just. He wanted you to come to take pictures of his team. Wanting you catch moments of life. You just wanted to make sure again, with April.
Who strangely stood by it, despite the fact she avoiding your eyes. Acting rather strange. You wanted to asks some more questions, but you thought it best not to.
"Alright."you agree."Though are you coming with me?"
April calms down with that question."No. Sorry, I won't be able too. I have somethings, I have to do. But, don't worry. I'll walk you to the station. Seijuro said he would either be there to pick you up or have someone to pick you up. You have his number right? I gave him your's."
You take out your phone and scroll through you contacts finding his number, with a star by it. April did. Any important number she made sure to symbolize it with a star."Yes."
"Good!"
School went by rather quick, and when you finished your last class. April was there waiting to pick you up. You both stop by your locker to get your camera and what you needed. She had change out of your uniform too. Into jean skirt and off shoulder lavender shirt with long flared out sleeves. You kept your boots and locket. Then headed to the Iwatobi train station. Arriving just in time, your ticket was already paid for. Courtesy of Seijuro. She tells you to call her the second you arrive and call Seijuro too if he isn't there to pick you up. And to look for someone wearing the Samezuka Academy's black jacket. Not to mention they would have a sign with your name on it. She told you this over and over and over again for at least five minutes, that you nearly missed your ride.
Getting on board, you wave bye to her and take your seat. By the window, looking at the passing scenery. It was quite relaxing actually. Holding your camera in your lap. Normally when it came to taking pictures you would be super thrilled but, you just didn't fully feel it. If you could choose, you would not want to go to Seijuro's school and would just go home. But, because you love your sister and didn't want to worry her. You agreed to go. Feeling your phone vibrate, you take it out and see the text message.
From Seijuro: April told me you're on your way :) See ya soon.
You respond back. With an okay. Putting it away. When it vibrated again, you take it out. This time it was from, April.
From April: Have a good time. I love you. Make memories. :)
You respond back, with generic okay, but add a happy emoji to hide what you felt. And put your phone away. Exhaling deeply, you stare down at the floor of the train, in deep thought. Thinking about that night when you went to old abandon Swim Club building. You went there, expecting to find something. Only to find nothing. So you explored, coming across the lounge that had the picture you took of the guys. When they won the Relay. Seeing it, sparked something in you. It was a mixture of joy and guilt. You went around some more, making your way to the empty pool. Hearing voices belonging to them. Makoto, Nagisa, Haru and Rin. You went to see, to discover the empty pool. Just seeing it, was emotional. Though something seem out of place. With an old photo you had, which you lost, you had taken years ago. In that picture everyone was happy, there was life. A precious moment. Not what you saw before, broken and abandon. Deserted. It wrenched at your heart. The pain. And when Nagisa noticed you, came running over so happy to see you. Along with Makoto.
It shocked you awake, this feeling. Being in their presence. Which quickly washed away, when you looked back at everything. Then over to Haru and Rin. Noticing a difference in their personalities. You could say, you where happy seeing them, all of them. But something didn't feel right. There seem to be a rift. These four, they weren't like in the picture. With Makoto and Nagisa welcoming you back, inside you didn't deserve it. None of it. That you question it, when saying their names. Ashamed you left them. And even in class, feeling Makoto's eyes on you. No doubt wondering what happened. You could feel Haru's eyes on you as well. Though his felt a bit more harsher. That you ignored them. Acting like everything was alright. While still questioning.
You had become so wrapped up in, that you couldn't see anything else. Drowning in your own self guilt and pity. A part of you wanted to embrace them, and make the memories you had made back in elementary with them.
But, did you actually deserve a second chance? To capture those moments, those precious memories?
The answer seem to be come, well in a way, by the surprised appearance of, Gou. She came to your home. Seeing her wasn't what you expected, the last time you saw her, was the last time you saw everyone. You just stood there at a lost, on what to say or do. She seem that way for a brief second, then smiles at you. A smile that brought back so many feelings. She was genuinely happy to see you, and missed you. You could see it in her eyes, the relief on seeing you again. And the pondering question or questions she had. There seem to be something else, but she hide rather quick. Not wanting to be rude, you let her in.
You let Gou into your home, she arrived just a few minutes after you had came home. Taking off her shoes she enters. Looking around the place.
"Wow, seems nothing has changed."she said rather relieved. Turning to you smiling."Remember the sleepovers we us to have?"
Shutting the door behind her, nodding your head."Y-Yeah. I do. They were very fun."Unsure why she was here, you offer a place to sit at the table, while you go and get some refreshments. Not wanting to be rude. She takes the seat you gave her. While you get somethings. Placing the album down on the table by her. She looks at it.
"I didn't know you went to Iwatobi."she said rather happy."I didn't even know you came back. But, that's alright."She kept up her cheerful tone, masking her hurt."When I saw you on the second day of school. I wasn't sure that was you. Until I saw your sister, then went to read the lockers, finding your name. Your a second year, like Makoto and Haru. You always have been really smart."
You come back wearing a half smile, placing the refreshments down before her. Some juice and cookies. And took a seat across from her."Thanks. You know, Makoto and Nagisa said something about seeing you at the old Iwatobi Swim Club building a couple of nights ago. So, I'm assuming you saw Rin too and Haru."
She saw how you reacted hearing their names, you slightly flinch from what she said. Your head drops a bit, along with your eyes. Looking at the table in shame and inner frustration. Making her worried.
"May? Are you alright?"she reaches placing a hand on your wrist. Snapping you out of it, you look up at her. In your mind, you had two choices to make in that second. Look away or put on a smile.
Quickly you put on a smile."Yeah. Everything's fine."
It baffled Gou for a second, how you just switched just like that. Her eyes look over to the photo album, lingering on it. You follow her eyes, looking at the album, realizing where you left it. You go to reach for it, but her hand lands on it before you. With yours following seconds after. Shaking. She notices the way you where acting. Still looking at the album, her eyes drop filling with sadness. Then looks to you. This time seeing what you had been trying to hide. You turn away from her gaze, this wasn't how you wanted it to go. With your head down and your eyes feeling with tears. Feeling a light touch on your shoulder, you find her. This time she was looking at you sentimental. Even smiling through it. But, you just couldn't return it. Feeling you didn't have the right. Thinking of everyone back then, for it crack and drift away.
"I can't say, I understand how you feel."she said."But, I know one thing. It's really great to have you back. I know the guys where happy to see you again. Whatever happen, that made you leave. It's alright. It doesn't matter."
Still looking at your camera, Gou's words echoing in your mind. Though to her it didn't matter but to you did. And because of it, you didn't feel anything. Something wasn't right.
A part of you was happy to see them, it was. To feel whole again, even if the place was abandon. It felt nice, being in their presence. Shutting your eyes, seeing them younger, standing there at the pool. Looking your way inviting you over and happy to see you. Your heart bursting with joy. Nagasi with his arms wide open ready for a hug. Makoto waving to you with his smile. Haru nodding his head to you. And Rin, grinning at you telling you to get over here. They've been waiting for you. What a feeling. To be apart of that. Yet, you denied yourself to feel that joy, opening your eyes finding yourself here. Staring at your camera.
The train arrived at the station, this was your stop. You grab your things and exit. Taking out your phone you send April a text that you made it. Then look around for any sign of Seijuro or someone from his school. You hadn't seen anyone yet. Did you arrive too late, you check the time, nope this was the right time. Looking around, still not seeing anyone. So you go to the wall map and look for the route to Samezuka. Looking at the map, you didn't notice a hand hovering over you. Until it tapped your shoulder, you nearly jumped out of your skin. Startled.
"Whoa! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
Turning around to the person, finding a guy with light blue eyes, and short grey hair, with short, straight bangs. About average height. His most notable feature was his beauty mark, located diagonally under his right eye. Wearing the Samezuka black athletic suit. He wasn't wearing a shirt, showing his tone body, well rather lean but tone. It was clear he was part of the Swimming Club. That, and he was holding a sign that had your name on it.
You look at it. He notices."You must be May O'Neil. Right?"he asks double checking. Laughing a bit nervous."S-Sorry I didn't mean to be late. My name is Aiichiro Nitori. Seijuro sent me to get you. I hope you don't mind."He smiles.
You return his smile. Not at all bothered."Yes. I'm May. It's nice to meet you, Aiichiro. It's alright, I didn't mind waiting."
He seem to relax."Alright then. I don't mean to be pushy, but I should hurry up and get you to the school. We're having a joint practice, and I just want to stretch."He starts to lead you towards the school. You follow next to him. Looking around, you saw so many chances to take wonderful pictures. But, didn't feel anything towards it. "Seijuro said you your photographer. He says your really good and that you would taking pictures of our club."
You turn to him, away from what your eyes captured."Oh, I umm..."you look down at the camera handing around your neck. Pondering what to say.
"That's really cool."Aiichiro praises you."He said your really good at capturing the best parts. Do you think you can do that today in this joint practice. I want to see how I look. I hope I'm not adding to much pressure."
You look away."..."Thinking to yourself. You don't do things like that.
It didn't take long to reach the school. Which took your breath away, you where in awe at what you saw. It was huge, not even the size of Iwatobi. The architect was just stunning. This feeling came over you, itching you take a picture. There was just so many, so many precious moments to take pictures of. Lost in everything around you, that you nearly wondered off if not for Aiichiro who quickly managed to pull you back and take you to the campus pool. Which was even more amazing, it was so vast and lovely. You where just in awe, the bag you held just dropped from your grasp onto the floor. Your eyes seem to open, you saw some sort of light. So many angles to take the right picture. Clenching your camera. It was just so...so...
"Hey, May are you okay?"Aiichiro noticed your behavior, he begin to worry. You had shut your eyes, looking in pain. He wasn't sure what to do. More so worried about what Seijuro would do to him."May? What's wrong?"
"May!"
You hear Seijuro's voice, snapping you back. Feeling a heavy hand on your head, made you look up seeing Seijuro over you grinning big at you. He ruffles your hair, patting it."Oh crap!"Aiichiro freaks out. Wondering if he saw how you looked just now.
"You're here."Seijuro welcomes you."I was starting to worry. You're sister kept calling me to see if you made it. Good job Aiichiro."he thanks the boy. Who was honored."Come with me."He guides you to follow him, telling one of the members to take your things, which they do."Come on let's get you situated."He leads you away. While telling Aiichiro to get dressed.
Sitting in the office, looking at the pictures in the old album. This was a mistake, you kept telling yourself. You shouldn't be here. Not at all. Stopping on the picture with the everyone. How could you capture something like this again? With actual feelings?
Hearing a knock, you look up to see Seijuro."Hey. The other team is here."he gestures for you to follow him, when he notices the album. Remembering what April said, his eyes soften on you looking at you with assurance. You close it and set it aside, apologizing."It's alright. Just get what you need."Nodding your head, you get what you needed to take the pictures. Collecting everything, you go with him back to the pool.
Adjusting the settings on the camera, not paying attention where you were going. You bump into someone."Hey watch it!"they snap at you.
You get ready to apologize, when you realize who it was.
Rin.
Who was just as shocked to see you as you where him. Your mouth opens to say something, but it closes. While his eyes turn rather cold and stoic to you. He walks around you, mumbling under his breath that you needed to watch where you were going. Watching him walk away, hurt. Something rumbling in your gut, seem to explode. Opening your mouth, about to shout. But stop yourself. Rin stopped himself, for a second thinking you might. When you didn't he starts back up scuffing.
"May. Come here."Seijuro calls you over to him. Looking back at Rin for a second, hesitant you go over to the Captain."May, I want you to meet the Iwatobi Swim Club. But something tells me you guys already know each other."He has you stand in front of him.
Wait?! Did he just say the Iwatobi Swim Club? Since when the school have a Swimming Club.? And better how did you know them?
"May-May! HI!"Nagisa waves to you.
Seeing him standing there, with Makoto, Haru and Gou. Along with another, who you didn't know. The same age as you, Nagisa and Gou. A rather tall man, with short, dark blue hair and sharp purple eyes. Wearing red-framed glasses. Dressed in the Iwatob red P.E. suit. His color telling you he was first year. He didn't seem like he wanted to be here. Showing what you felt.
"Wow."Makoto comes over to you."This is a surprise. We're weren't expecting to see you here, May."
You struggle for a second, but manage to put on a smile."Yeah. Me neither. What are the odds."
Nagisa smiling."So why are you here? Are you joining the Samezuka's swim team? Wait, how can you? You're not a boy."He thinks about it.
Makoto sighs flabbergasted by him."Seriously?"
Nagisa looks closer at you."You sure don't look like a boy? Did you cha-"he gets ready to lift up your skirt. But it quickly stopped by Makoto, Gou and glasses wearing young man. While Seijuro moves you away.
"What is your problem!?"Makoto chastises him."You just don't go around lifting up skirts! Are you crazy!? Have you forgotten what her sister would do if she found out?!"
Hearing what Makoto said, made Nagisa turn white with fear at the thought."Ah! I'm sorry May! Please don't tell your sister!"he screams in fear bowing deeply to you.
Seeing him act like this, brought you back just a bit. You almost laughed."Don't worry I won't."you assure him. To his relief.
"Ah. Good."he sighs. Coming up."So? Why are you here?"
Before you could answer that, Seijuro in a booming voice commands everyone's attention. Telling both teams, what they would doing. For them to get the best time, Iwatobi would swimming against first year students. He then goes to explain and let everyone know the reason for you being. Which of course he couldn't help but tell them, how you are his girlfriend's younger sister. Which wouldn't have mind if he didn't embarrass, stating how cute you where. He then tells them reason for you, that you would be the photographer for this practice. To capture the moments for everyone. Well something along those lines. With that being said, practice begin. Everyone took their position on the block and you found your spot too. Getting your camera ready, focusing it. Seijuro gave the go. You watch Makoto up first with one of Samezuka's members. You take their picture just as they jumped off from the block. It was stunning. You took pictures of them swimming. And at the turn. Next up, Nagisa. His take off was still good, no great. You managed to capture it.
With each snapshot you felt that feeling coming back. Your eyes being to open, your heart started to beat again. That joy, it was there. It was coming back. That bursting feeling inside you, felt ready to explode. But, you contained it. The best you could. Standing up, still keeping your lens upon Nagisa and focus taking some pictures. You make to where he did his turn, capturing it. Then hurry back just in time to see the newest member of the team, Rei. Nagisa told you, take off. Planting yourself, you watch him jump off. His form was beautiful. That is until he flopped really bad. This was a shock. A complete shock. You had to do a double take. When you realized he hadn't come up. Luckily though Haru dives in to help him, with Nagisa who was in the water. They pull him out and take him to the side.
Rei sat down covering himself with a towel, embarrassed about what just happened. It was hard not to feel bad for him. You where about to go over to him, when shots you a glare. Making you stop, in your tracks. He looks at your camera, realizing what you had taken his picture. Making it worse, he looks away in shame. Great. That was all you needed.
Seijuro calls the next and last. Haru was the last. Wanting to go over to Rei and assure him you would delete the picture, you had to return back to your main task. Getting settled, focusing on Haru. The whistle goes off, and Haru jumps off. You take the picture, amazed at how perfect it was. The precious memory you just captured. From him. It was just breathtaking. You stand up in awe, making sure that was what just happened. Quickly standing up, you look at Haru swim. Captivated by it, you hurry to take more pictures. Managing to get him, right at the turn.
That feeling came over you. Seijuro across the other side of the pool. Noticed the spark back in your eyes. Even Makoto and the others. They saw it. Not that absent look you had, before when they meet you. Gou smiles, for it drop when she looked up at her brother. Who wasn't happy at all. And to make it worse, the fact you had a rather wide smile. And what came next added more.
You scream with excitement. Running back to the block, taking a picture of Haru as he finished. Looking up, Haru noticed you. Take his picture. And when you put the camera down, the look you had on. Was the same you had on years ago. That beaming look in your eyes.
Done with taking pictures, you move away and look at them on your camera. Rather happy. And make your way your back to the office before he or anyone could say anything.
Sitting at the desk, going through the pictures you uploaded and took today. Looking at them. Rather proud. Just a bit, you managed to capture something lovely. Seeing these, of Haru and the others. Made you...
"Well, someone took some great pictures today."Seijuro comes behind you, looking at the pictures."Bet April is going to love it."
You turn to him, he had just gotten out of the shower. He had his nightwear on, simple t-shirt and black shorts. He just had a towel over his hair. After the joint practice, he took you back to the dorms, his room actually. Giving you his desk to work, while he went to shower.
"Yeah."you agree with him. Looking back at your pictures."It...it felt nice. Thank you, Seijuro."
He scuffs at you playfully and ruffles your hair."Aw. It was nothing. I'm just glad you where happy. Full of joy. Again. You really know how to capture it. It really suits you."
Hearing his words you, look at him. Watching him kick back on his bed. And take out his phone, no doubt texting your sister. What he said, rang in your mind. It sprung something in you. Getting up from his desk, taking your camera.
"Hey? Where are you going?"he sits looking at you."It's getting late."
Stopping at the door. You turn to him."I'll be back. I promise. I just..."unable to finish what you wanted to say, you promise to be back in ten. Then leave. Leaving him rather puzzled, but he soon got it. Laying back down smiling to himself. Instead of texting he calls April.
Making outside of the dorms, the sun was beginning to set. The sky had all the warm colors. Getting your camera ready, you point to the sky, in-between the arches. A wonderful shot. Holding it still, you wait, and wait. Next thing a bird comes flying through and you take the shot. A few times. Moving camera down, taking a look at pictures. It came out wonderful. Inspired, you go and take a few more picture elsewhere, though made sure not to stray to far away from the dorms. Reminding yourself just a few more, not realizing time had passed. Night came, you hadn't noticed. Getting down taking a careful picture of cricket. Focusing on it, just about to take it, when it hopped away and in place of it, you find you had taken a picture of someone's torso.
Strange. It wasn't there before. "Hey."you hear someone call to you. Looking up, you find Rin. Staring at you rather annoyed and seemingly upset.
"Rin?"you where surprise to see him. The two of you stand there with just the bench in-between. Neither of you saying a word. You wondered what he wanted. But he wouldn't say. Though you did hear him grumble. Mutter something under his breath. Which of course made you worry."Rin? Are you okay? What's wro-?"You stop seeing the sharp he was giving you.
Next thing, he marched towards you rather aggressively and takes hold of your wrist. Moving you back, you nearly lost your balance. Luckily there was a tree that stopped you. He had you pressed up against it. You became frighten and scared. This wasn't the Rin you knew. This couldn't be. He was so antagonistic. He was kind, passionate and always smiling. This one wasn't. You could feel his hot breath, breathing hard on you. His grip on your wrist tighten. You started to feel some sense of pain. That you started to fight him off. But his grip became tighter. You demand he tell you what was wrong, while telling him to let you go.
He didn't listen, so you kept telling him to. Which would switching between demanding to pleading. Until he snaps at you to be quiet."Be QUIET!"The way he raised his voice scared you, you stop."WHAT THE HELL, DOES HE HAVE? WHY CAN YOU CAPTURE HIS PERFECT MOMENTS?!" Unsure what he was talking about, you being to cry. Realizing what he just did, he snaps out of it hearing you whimpering.
Coming back to his senses, but it to late. The damage had been done. He looks at you, Seeing your tears as bright as day, in the corner of your eyes. You where trying to hold them back. But a few came down. Quickly he let's you go. You take hold of your wrists. Looking at them, trying to message them. Rin just stood there, stun with he just did. He never acted like this towards you.
Shuttering in fear and anger. You look at him, asking him why. But he couldn't answer, hearing Seijuro calling for you along with others from the team. Knowing what would happen if they found him like this. Rin quickly looks back you, locking eyes with you for a second. You saw something right there. About to call to him, he runs off into the shadows.
That feeling in your stomach ready to explode, was ready. But you didn't say anything. Hearing Seijuro's voice getting closer. You turn around, seeing him coming into view with Aiichiro. Who alerts the Captain, seeing you. Seijuro sighs relieved. He goes over to you with Aiichiro. Who asks if you, where alright. Fussing over the silver hair boy did. While Seijuro looks at you rather upset. You drop your head, though slide your eyes in the direction Rin ran.
"Come."Seijuro tells you sternly."It's getting late."He places a hand on your shoulder and leads you back to the dorms.
