THE SLEEPOVER
Chapter 7 "Phones"
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Nothing. Nothing… *fade out*
A/N: There's a lose end in the previous episode that I completely forgot to explain and it's driving me crazy. I wonder if anyone else noticed?
Rin dove into the pool and emerged on the other side, guiding everyone into the equipment room. He's supposed to be wearing only his swimsuit, right? So he leaves them to change and walks out for a second before charging back in all panicky. Stuff happens and then, after locking Nagisa and Rei in the closet, he 'pulls out his phone from his back pocket'…
It pisses me off I didn't notice before, so for the story's (and my) sake, let's pretend Rin left them to change, ran to the other side of the pool, gathered up his clothes, got dressed, pocketed his phone and charged back into the equipment room.
Haru didn't notice because he was busy doing water yoga.
If you love me, you'll let this go… *begs for forgiveness*
BEWARE AHEAD: Fluff-Chaos-Fluff-Chaos-NakedMakoto-Fluff-CHAOS-Cl iffhanger In THAT order. You've been warned.
"That… was… uncalled for…" Rin spoke between huffs and puffs, limping awkwardly as they made their way towards the large equipment room.
"Shut up," replied Haru, his grasp around the redhead's wrist tightening ever so slightly as he pulled him across the swimming pool area, their bare feet slapping the wet floor as they neared the door. "You deserved it."
The taller teen let out a sound between a groan and a moan as he attempted to massage the area around his groin where Haruka had landed a strong knee kick. They finally reached the doors that led to the gym slash equipment room when Rin dared to speak again.
"I wasn't going to leave them there too long, you know," he whispered, hoping to avoid creating too much echo. "It's just when I realised they had walked into the janitor's closet I…" he trailed off.
"You…?" Haruka inquired softly.
"Couldn't resist," Rin suddenly beamed mischievously.
"And what about Makoto? You said you planned this with Nitori beforehand," Haruka interrupted, his voice sounded slightly accusatory.
Rin shook his head a couple of times. "Hardly," he replied as he straightened up. "I messaged him before coming over. Nitori was originally supposed to drag the three of them to the captain's dorm, he had warned him beforehand, so you and I could sneak back into my room," he almost whispered the last words before taking a deep breath and looking earnestly into Haru's eyes. "But Nitori's probably back in the room and I can't damn well ask him to get out, we might as well get the others and head back to your place before someone catches us. There really is a night guard you know?"
Haruka turned to face Rin and narrowed his eyes in disbelief, placing one palm over the door's smooth surface without applying enough pressure to push it open.
Feeling the dark haired-teen's grasp loosen around his wrist, Rin took the opportunity to free himself and without breaking contact, slid his hand down Haruka's palm, intertwining their fingers momentarily before raising the other's hand to his lips, kissing it tenderly.
Haru's eyes followed the movement of their hands and his gaze lingered over the redhead's lips as he peppered him with kisses. He would be lying if he said he wasn't a little turned on by the action but nevertheless he decided it was best to simply look away. Rin smirked, noticing the slight blush that appeared on his former rival's face and, unable to control himself, pulled Haru's hand around his own waist as he inched closer, finally placing both arms around the blue eyed swimmer's shoulders.
"Next time we're alone, I'm definitely going to make you cum," he whispered into Haruka's ear, gently biting on his earlobe. Haru shivered at the contact, blushing furiously, absolutely refusing to let the other teen know how big an effect those words were having on him, he simply opted for applying some pressure into his one arm hug in response, silently telling him he would hold him to his word.
Rin grinned at the action and pecked Haru on the lips before inching sideways and pushing the door open with his shoulder, letting go of his grasp around the other teen's neck. As they stepped foot inside the empty room they were greeted by a sight that made Rin gasp and freeze on the spot.
The janitor closet door was wide open and most definitely empty, the steel chair lying on its side by the door.
Haruka looked around silently, completely unaware of Rin's reaction. "Well?" he turned to face the redhead, silently inquiring where his friends were. Rin began walking around the room, disbelief etched all over his sharp features. He finally scrambled into the janitor closet, picking up random things as if looking for his keys.
"They're not here…"
"What do you mean they're not here?" Haru echoed as he walked into the minuscule closet as if to make sure Rin wasn't lying. Suddenly a soft buzzing sound got their attention. They both reached to their back pockets at the same time, pulling out their phones to check which one had buzzed.
"Tsk," Rin broke the silence as he clicked the message open. "It's from Nitori," he added in response to Haru's inquiring gaze, who turned away and walked out of the closet, uninterested.
As the redhead began scrolling down, the bored expression he usually adopted whenever reading a message from his roommate started changing slowly from absolute indifference to mildly interested, shifting to utter disbelief, immediately turning to slightly panicky and finally displaying pure unadulterated horror.
"Rin?" Haru tentatively asked from behind him and the look he received as the redhead turned to face him almost made him squirm.
"Senpai, I was on my way to the bending machine when I ran smack into Tanaka-san who had been running back from to his room after he had sneaked out with Yamaguchi senpai, (the short guy who sits behind you in algebra), apparently they were trying to break into the kitchens when they suddenly heard the night guard talking on a walkie talkie to some other guy calling for backup telling him to send Oda and Tama over to the school because he suspected someone had broken in tonight and so they ran back to the dorms and told me all this, so now I'm texting you to let you know that there might be some people looking for you and you should go straight back to the room because if you get caught this time you'll definitely be suspended, especially since you were not supposed to be here in the first place because you said you were going to be visiting family this weekend and so they'll know it was you who broke in and it won't be long before they also discover Nanase-san and the others and then you'll all be in really big trouble, please hurry back! I'll patrol the corridors for you! Don't waste any time! This is a matter of life and death! Don't take any detours or-"
At that point Rin stopped reading the endless message and cursed out loud, wondering how much time Nitori had wasted by typing all those unnecessary details and making him read all the way down until he finally got the point.
"R-Rin?" Haruka asked in spite of himself, unable to take the silence any longer.
"They're onto us," he almost whispered. Haru rolled his eyes in response and turned away before he was forcefully turned back to face Rin. "I mean, the night guard," his voice barely audible. "He's called for backup."
"B-Backup?" it would have taken Makoto to discern the slight shaking in Haru's voice.
"Shh!" Rin silenced his former rival by placing a hand over his mouth, pulling him closer and walking backwards towards the back door where Nitori had walked out with Makoto on tow. "Shit, fuck, shit Haruka," he spat as he bumped into the door behind them. "We need to find those two morons and get the fuck out of here before someone spots us."
Haru effectively shook Rin's hand off his face and motioned towards the back door. As they both walked out Rin suddenly reached out and grabbed Haru by the wrist, pulling him towards the end of the corridor. It took a few seconds before they both started running as quietly as humanly possible. Not too long after that Haruka suddenly stopped, making Rin almost trip backwards.
"What the-"
"Where the hell are we going?" Haru asked between gasps.
"We're…" Rin trailed off. He had no idea where they were supposed to go. For the time being, Makoto was safe in the captain's room, he would be lying if he said he wasn't slightly amused at the thought of a half naked Makoto playing poker with a bunch of jocks but he quickly pushed the thought out of his head, taking a mental note to indulge in it later. Nagisa and Rei were a whole different story, they could be anywhere, literally.
A second buzz pulled him out of his reverie. Rin flipped his phone open and clicked on the new message.
"Senpai, I was just patrolling the corridors when I heard footsteps and I thought it was the night guard so I hid behind a plant and couldn't really distinguish the shadows that walked past me until I heard the voice of Hazuki-san who was talking about going to the cafeteria to look for you, but then he started running along the other member of the Iwatobi Swim Club and then I tried to follow but then I lost them because they're both super fast and I-"
Without finishing the message, afraid it might go on forever, Rin grabbed Haru by the wrist once more and pulled him alongside as he started sprinting towards the aforementioned place.
"They're in the cafeteria, let's go!" he spat out sensing Haru's hesitation. The dark haired youth immediately complied and they both hauled ass towards the other side of the building.
As they reached the doors that led to the giant room where all Samezuka Academy students shared their meals, our heroes were slightly breathless. Rin let go of his grasp around Haru's wrist and placed both hands over his knees, gently supporting his weight as his breathing calmed down.
"Maybe we should split," Haruka suggested as he hugged himself slightly, he was still wearing only his jeans and regardless of the bit of exercise they had just done, he was still shivering. Rin didn't miss a beat and rolled his eyes trying to look exasperated, but failed to stop the smile that creeped up his face. He took off his jacket and almost shoved it over Haru's face, staying only in his tank-top.
"Like hell, next I'll be looking for you, no way," he spat back. He straightened up and pushed the doors opened carefully, the ominous creak resounded throughout the empty room. They both glanced around trying to make out any movement in the almost absolute darkness, the only source of light was the moonlight that filtered dimly through the windows.
They silently tiptoed inside the room, careful walk around the room as close to the walls as possible in order to try to blend in with the shadows in case someone undesirable dropped in on them. The wall opposite the door they had come in through was lined by several giant tray racks and the service area. They headed that way quietly, finding it the only possible hideout in case their friends had felt the need to stay out of sight.
"Nagisa?" hissed Rin who was leading the way around a giant shelf of trays. "You here, dickhead?" He might have been looking for his friends, but he was most definitely not about to disguise the annoyance he felt at their disappearance. They completed one turn around the dining room now sure that they were completely alone. They straightened up and let out a sigh of relief at being able to breathe normally. Rin crossed his arms over his chest and blew away a particularly long strand of hair that had been tickling his nose.
"Well, they're not in here…" he said as he pulled out his phone and typed a message as fast as humanly possible.
Haru leaned in closer to see what Rin was typing.
"Where the hell are you?"
Send.
They both stood rooted to their spots, silently glancing around hoping to catch a hint of movement to no avail. About a whole minute later Rin's phone buzzed and he flipped the lid open.
"Senpai,
I made it to the cafeteria but it was empty, I'm currently at the swimming pool collecting all the clothes you all left behind. Tell me where you are and I'll go find you!"
As he finished reading the message Rin had realised he had been reading it out loud, he quickly responded 'cafeteria' and closed the lid, cursing.
"Shit," he spoke as he ran a hand through his still slightly wet hair. "Can't we just leave them here and go?" he asked Haru looking slightly hopeful, but was immediately silent after the glance he received in response.
They stood in silence for a few seconds before Haru decided to speak.
"Now what?" he asked.
"Nitori's coming with your clothes," replied Rin, arms still crossed over his chest. He glanced at Haru and smirked broadly. "Although I wouldn't mind you staying in mine."
Haru, who had zipped up the jacket and rolled up the sleeves glanced down at himself. He then raised an arm to his nose and sniffed the sleeve.
"Smells like you," he added conversationally. "I like it."
"Yeah?" asked Rin, half amused half incredulously. "I always thought I smelled like chlorine."
"You do," Haru interrupted, taking a step forward and leaning in closer, his nose almost touching Rin's neck. Careful to keep both arms to himself, Rin smiled and leaned back slightly, exposing his neck teasingly. The slightly shorter teen took a deep breath and couldn't suppress the sigh that escaped his lips. That particular combination of smells, of chlorine and aftershave and that note of muskiness that was so completely Rin, it would all be the death of him. He had never and would never smell anything more inciting than that, and for the first time that night, Haruka wasn't instantly aroused by Rin's presence.
There, in the middle of an empty cafeteria, barefoot, jeans soaked from the constant contact with his wet bathing suit, Haruka momentarily forgot what they were doing or why they were there. All he was aware of was the smell that enveloped him and the loud beating of his racing heart. Words never uttered before were threatening to spill out of his mouth the more he surrendered to Rin's unique scent.
"H-Haru?" Rin asked awkwardly, glancing at Haruka's half lidded eyes and lips that had curled up in half a smile.
The dark haired swimmer's arms snaked around his waist and pulled him flush against his chest. Once there was no space left between their bodies, Haruka leaned in and inhaled deeply, making Rin shudder from head to toes. He then touched their cheeks together and leaned sideways against Rin's face, taking deep breaths and smiling contentedly. The redhead let out a chuckle and raised his right hand, running his fingers through Haruka's dark strands of hair.
"Rin, I think I-"
CLANK.
A flash caught their eyes and they both hurriedly let go of one another and one of them might or might not have let out a tiny squeal, conveniently disguised by the sound of hundreds of aluminium trays falling over and hitting the floor making a hell-raising ruckus. Without waiting for anything else to happen, without even wondering how the tray rack had tumbled over, they ran out of the cafeteria with the speed of Olympic track athletes. They ran for what seemed like entire minutes although they had in fact only raced for about 27 seconds, finally stopping at the staircase that led to the third year dormitories.
Their hearts were beating madly and their hair seemed to be standing on end. By the time they recovered their breaths all they could really do is gaze into each other's eyes as if trying to read what the other was thinking. They didn't dare to speak afraid they might get caught by the night guard or his backup. Rin then took out his phone and did the only thing he could think of.
He typed a message and threw the phone at Haru, silently beckoning him to read it.
"Did you see anyone?"
Haru shook his head and handed the phone back to Rin.
"I thought I saw a flashlight, those trays didn't fall on their own, someone's messing with us"
Haruka read the second message and rolled his eyes, completely forgetting they were supposed to be keeping their voices down he took a deep breath and spoke up. "Don't you think you're getting a little paranoi-" Rin's hand over his mouth stopped him from effectively finishing his sentence.
After a few seconds of silence, Rin was sure Haru wouldn't suddenly start talking again, he took out his phone and typed.
"Fuck it, let's get Makoto and get out of here, if Nagisa and Rei went up to the dorms they're probably safe, nobody patrols the third floor corridors"
With a silent nod from Haru, they were on their way, heading upstairs and walking straight into a darkened corridor whose end couldn't be made out because of the almost absolute darkness.
The phone's buzzing sound effectively stopped them on their tracks, Rin flipped the lid open and read.
"Senpai,
What happened?! The cafeteria was a mess! I think it might have been a stray cat, sometimes they sneak into the kitchens at night trying to steal some food, I remember this one time-
Rin scrolled down half of a long paragraph.
-and that's how I know. Anyways, there's three guards with police dogs looking around the first floor, watch out! I'm heading back to the dormitories now! Don't forget to come pick up all the clothes I gathered! There's shoes and pants and shirts and jackets and one sock. This has been fun!"
Haru sensed danger the second he heard Rin's sharp teeth grinding, he snatched the phone away before Rin squeezed hard enough to break it.
"Nitori… damn that kid…" hissed the redhead.
Haruka sighed and raised a hand to massage his very sore neck. He hadn't realised how tired he felt at the moment until just now.
"Let's go get Makoto," he suggested, as he threw Rin's phone back at him, his voice barely above a whisper. He was sure pretty soon he wouldn't have much energy left for the ride back home. How they would manage to get back outside, cross the open areas towards the gate and jump over the fence, he had no idea. But he'd leave those thoughts for later. First thing was getting Makoto back. Rin nodded and they both walked straight towards the captain's dorm room. As they approached the aforementioned door they could distinguished a few muffled voices and what was definitely a thunderous voice laughing unrestrainedly. They shared a look and nodded at the same time before Rin knocked twice.
The voices hushed immediately and a few steps were heard before the door slammed open.
"Matsuoka!" beamed Samezuka's swim team captain. "Nanase!" he sounded a bit too surprised as he laid eyes on the tall dark-haired swimmer but pulled them both into the room one at a time by the back of their shirts.
As Haru walked inside the unexpectedly large room his eyes fell directly upon a familiar tall figure sitting on a stool before an improvised poker table between three swimmers whose faces looked familiar although he didn't know their names. The table was effectively hiding him from the waist down and he was holding a set of cards awkwardly, Haru had never seen his friend look more out of place.
"M-Makoto?" stuttered Haruka, scanning his best friend up and down.
"Haruu!" Makoto almost cried, evidently struggling between standing up or just hiding under the bed behind him.
"W-Why are you naked?" asked Haru incredulously.
Captain Seijurou's laughter interrupted their conversation, he walked next to Haru and smacked him hard on the back making the teen almost tumble over.
"Don't look at us, he was naked when he got here," he beamed.
"I-I'm not na-"
"Rin," Haruka shut his eyes and drew his hands into fists. "You didn't tell me he was naked," there was definitely a note of danger in his voice.
"Haru, I'm not really-"
"Rin," Haruka interrupted his friend once again, his eyes still shut, trying to control the outrage he felt over his best friend's situation when suddenly a slight click slash flash sound got his attention, his eyes snapped open and he turned his eyes towards the redhead beside him.
Who was holding out his phone and had just snapped a picture of the sight before them. The smile on Rin's face was something Haru hadn't seen in a long, long time and it almost made his knees give in. But he quickly recovered and shook his head, snatching the phone away from Rin. Contrary to what he expected, the redhead barely reacted as he was too busy holding a hand to his mouth trying to stifle his laughter and failing like a true champ. After a few seconds his shoulders began shaking uncontrollably and he almost fell down on his knees, laughing madly.
And it was contagious, soon all three jocks, the captain and even Makoto himself had joined in, leaving Haru alone to gaze at his fellow swimmers incredulously, phone in hand.
"Ahh, good old times, good old times, but anyways, Matsuoka," interrupted the captain as he wiped a tear from the corner of his eye, "your friend here now owes me a substantial amount of money and he needs you to bail him out," he finished while smacking him hard on the back. Rin was caught by surprise and choked on his own laughter, coughing madly, he leaned sideways and almost hid behind Haru's broad back.
"What? How much?" Rin wasn't entirely unfamiliar with poker nights at the captain's dormitory, but he usually walked away with either a small gain or a small loss. The people who often participated were all pretty good players so the losses weren't terrible and it all turned out to be quite fun, but in the rare occasions where an outsider joined in, he usually got massacred with all players ganging up on him. He really hoped this wasn't the case.
"Meh… about 600 dollars," replied the captain, shrugging.
"What?! Makoto, the hell!" spat Rin accusingly, smacking himself hard on the forehead.
Makoto blushed scarlet and laughed awkwardly.
"i… don't really get this game…" he admitted. "Can't I pay you back some other time? I don't… have my wallet on me," he finished lamely.
The golden eyed captain laughed loudly and placed both hands over his hips. "No can do, young lady. We settle our scores like men!"
"But-" Makoto started but was immediately cut off by Haruka's voice.
"Rin," said the dark haired youth, placing a hand on his former rival's shoulder. "He'll pay you back, let's just go, please." The look in his eyes was almost pleading but what Rin saw in there was mostly exhaustion and it touched him in a level he couldn't quite describe. He shrugged and cracked his neck.
"Fine, I'll be right back," he said as he turned around and headed for the door.
"Could you lend me some clothes?" Makoto's voice was muffled by the conversation of the two jocks beside him who were still laughing at his expense.
"Hey, hey," the captain called after Rin who had almost stepped out, "bring back a few hundred more just in case, we haven't finished this game. Oh, and take this one with you," he motioned towards Haru, grabbing him by the back of his collar and pushing him towards the door. "He looks like he's about to punch someone."
Haruka shrugged him off and walked out the door, momentarily glancing back at his half naked friend and giving him a reassuring nod which was immediately returned. Without a second glance he was off.
Rin followed almost immediately but the second he stepped foot outside the door he felt a hard smack over his ass that almost made him hiss and jump into the air. He turned and death glared at the captain who winked mischievously only for Rin to see.
"Now you owe me two pictures of your sister," he whispered and smirked. "Go get him, tiger."
Rin looked like he had been smacked in the face and it took him half a second for the words to really sink in, his mouth flew open and his eyes widened, he was about to curse back at his captain when the door was slammed shut in his face. He stood there unable to move for a few seconds, deciding between breaking in the door and beating the hell out of his captain and heading back to his room to get the night over with. He opted for the latter as he ran a hand over his forehead.
"That's the last time I ask him for a favour," he thought miserably, on one side glad that Nitori had actually followed instructions and warned the captain that they would be sneaking into Samezuka and asking him to keep his friends busy for a while. But he was mostly feeling like he needed to punch something, most particularly his captain's face in. Two pictures of his sister, over his dead body. But he guessed he must have filled in the blanks as to why he wanted to be alone with Haru, were they being that obvious? Not that he really cared. He sighed and turned on his heels, walking a bit faster than usual in order to catch up with Haru.
Once they were both level and heading upstairs to the dormitories of the second year students, Haru turned to face him.
"He'll definitely pay you back," he spoke, his voice raspy with exhaustion.
Rin shrugged. "I don't care about the money," he replied honestly. "This night has been a disaster," his own voice now mirrored the exhaustion in Haruka's.
"Yeah," the other agreed. They walked in silence for a few seconds before before they finally reached the door labeled 'Matsuoka/Nitori', they shared a glance as Rin felt for his jacket pockets, realising a little too late that he wasn't wearing his jacket.
Haru held out the small key he had pulled out of the jacket's inner pocket.
"Looking for this?" he asked, handing the little key over to the redhead who immediately took it, not wasting any time to open the door.
They both walked in and were welcomed by absolute darkness.
Haru motioned to turn on the lights but Rin stopped him on time.
"Nitori must be sleeping, he's a heavy sleeper but still… " he whispered as he walked towards the desk closest to the door, turning on the little bedside lamp and pulling open a drawer, taking out a few notes.
Haru took the time to glance around the room, his eyes first landed on the small lump completely hidden over thick looking covers on the top bunk who seemed to be snoring a little too loudly. He then turned his gaze towards the lower bunk, scanning everything from the puffy looking pillow all the way down the dark grey covers and the bundle of familiar looking clothes neatly folded on the bed. There were a few sneakers scattered around the room, his included, Nitori must have also brought those back, thank God. There were also a few pens and papers scattered around but the room was otherwise very clean. And it smelled great, just like Rin. He wrinkled his nose as he caught a whiff of someone else's smell, probably Nitori's. It didn't mix well and it distracted him from the scent that was so purely Rin's. God, he really just wanted to lie down on that lower bunk and smother his face against the pillow. But he wouldn't do that. No, sir.
Instead, he walked towards the tall redhead who was still counting notes by the desk and snaked his arms around his waist, hugging him from behind.
Rin stiffened momentarily but then slowly relaxed into the embrace as soon as he felt Haru's nose make contact with the back of his neck.
Carefully placing the notes in his pocket and not even trying to hide the smile that had creeped up his face, Rin placed his hands over Haru's, whose arms had started to slowly rock him back and forth.
"Something in your mind?" asked the redhead warmly. The only response he got was an audible intake of breath as Haru took in as much of his scent as possible. They stayed there for a few seconds, Rin leaning back slightly, welcoming the heat of the embrace, lulled by the sounds of Haru's breathing over his shoulder. Slowly, their fingers intertwined over the space between Rin's bellybutton and his broad chest.
"I think I'm in love with you," whispered Haru into Rin's ear.
The tall redhead stiffened, he felt his heartbeat raise at an alarming speed and he was sure his heart would soon jump out of his mouth.
"Haru," Rin all but whispered back. His body reacted before his mind had made sense of what he had just heard and he squeezed his right hand over Haru's as his left hand moved slowly but surely over his own shoulder towards the blue eyed teen's neck, pulling him forwards while turning his head sideways. Red met blue and their eye contact lasted only for a second before they both closed their eyes and their lips met.
THUMP.
The distinct sound of something crashing against tiled floor resonated in their ears as if someone had lit a loud firecracker behind them. They let go of each other and were both suddenly very awake, their reflexes were fast and they both adopted self-defence positions as they glanced around the room manically. Another loud thump and muffled sounds were heard coming from the bathroom and Rin grabbed the first thing he could find - a half full bottle of Gatorade - and held it above his head, readying himself to strike at a moment's notice. More muffled sounds were heard only this time they could actually distinguish someone's hushed, slightly panicked voice.
The two swimmers shared a glance and nodded, Haruka took the lead and outstretched his arm towards the doorknob, readying himself to open it while Rin positioned himself at the other side, ready to strike.
Without wasting another second, Haru pulled the door open with one swift movement and Rin held his Gatorade high above his head, turning on the lights of the toilet with his free hand.
They gasped at the sight before them, horrified.
There was Nitori, what seemed to be a balled up pair of socks in his mouth, badly tied to a chair that was lying on its side on the floor, kicking and squealing loudly trying to free himself from the knots that bound him, and a flustered, horrified looking Rei trying to calm him down, holding a finger to his lips, staring up at the new arrivals and completely frozen to the spot.
Nobody moved for the next few minutes as they all took in each other's appearances as if trying to make sure it wasn't all a bad dream.
Rin was the first to break the deafening silence.
"What the fuck is going on here!?" his voice was loud and a little too high-pitched bordering on panicky.
Rei seemed like he wanted to speak but only managed to open and close his mouth like a fish out of the water, completely at loss for words.
And before anything even started to make sense, a loud sniff was heard coming from inside the room and they all turned their heads.
"You guys…" Nagisa suddenly appeared from the shadows, a thick grey cover firmly held over his head virgin-mary-style, tears flowing freely down his face. He sniffed ridiculously and not a second after, broke down into uncontrollable sobs. As his eyes squirmed shut and his shoulders began shaking fiercely, a soft thud was heard and Haru turned to spot a small phone rolling on the floor next to his friend's foot.
"I think I'm in love with you…" he heard his own voice repeat over and over again as the video captured by the phone replayed itself.
And tadaaaa!
I broke my personal record at an outstanding 6000 words, wahh. I feel like I owed it to all of you who follow my story, I hadn't updated in almost two weeks! I'm really, really sorry about that, school has been crazy and inspiration avoided me.
But I finally forced myself to sit down and write a new chapter, I hope it was to your liking!
I kind of feel like there's way too many lose ends and I can't seem to get them under control! The more I write, the more confusing I think it gets and I'm not quite sure if it's still an enjoyable read.
Anyways, the end is drawing near and now the cat's out of the box (that's an expression, right?) so what's going to happen to our brave heroes now that they've been caught red-handed? Any ideas?
And just what the hell happened with Nagisa and Rei? How did they get out of the closet? Why is Nitori tied up in the bathroom? How will Makoto pay back 600 dollars? Stay tuned for the answers in next week's instalment!
