Practice is hard.
The fake smiles and pretending there is nothing between us is killing me.
But the second I'm in the pool, all of that washes away. There is nothing but me and the water. My mind is clear. We are one. It makes me feel in control, there is no pain, no worry, just the chemical ridan beauty surrounding me.
It's pretty much the best thing ever.
In the locker room after practice I take a long shower to "gather my thoughts" (and pray to god everyone is gone by the time I get out). When I step out of the stall every one has left except for makoto, who is primping himself in front of the mirror. I get dressed then join him.
"You did great in practice today" I say casually, trying hide my annoyance that he hasn't left yet.
"I'm okay. But no one can swim like you Haru." Why is he being so nice to me?
"Hey, what's that?" he says pointing to my neck. "Are those hickeys?"
I look in the mirror and notice small bruises.
Rin said he was marking me as his own last night when he bit me, I hadn't noticed the marks till now.
"Oh that.. its not… I burned myself with a straightening iron…"
He smiles and blushes slightly.
"Okay good. Because well, you see I was hoping-"
He turns suddenly then pushes me up against a locker,
",that you and I could have some fun" He smirks.
I don't know what to say… Makoto has always been timid and shy. This is unlike him. Before I have time to think more, he kisses me. Not soft and full of affection like Rin, but hard and full of lust.
He grabs at my hips and pulls me into him. Do I like this? I can tell he's getting frustrated that I'm not kissing back, but we're so close he must feel the warmth in my shorts.
I can't help it, the way he scratches at my back, bites my lower lip. I have to admit he's a good kisser. I feel his hand start unbuttoning my bottoms, and I squeak into his mouth. As he starts to slide his hand down, I hear a scream.
We stop. Look towards the door... And there stands Nagisa. He looks horrified, (I mean how could he not, his best friends looked like they were trying to eat each other…)
I push Makoto out of the way, grab my bag, and run out the door. Leaving Makoto to explain the situation to Nagisa.
