On another day of joint practice at Samezuka, Haruka had once again made a new time record, but Rin was not there to grit his teeth at it. Haruka canNaa, Nanase, enjoying the view?t remove the microphone he swallowed. How the hell can he speak with that high of a volume?
HarukaMikoshiba-buchou, how can you even suggest that? He hasn Gou called out from behind them.
t help it, hes like he is smiling on the inside.See, he is, isn Nagisa popped up from a corner of the pool.
Gou asked.

Nagisa muttered before diving in.
Gou slowly tried to reach for MikoshibaOnii-chan
Rin glared at her sister.
Mikoshiba reached out his hands and grabbed a handful of RinOw ow ow!What
Rei called out from afar. Rei was waiting for Rin all this time since Rin promised that hes usual below-ear-length hair had disappeared. He had cut it, now his hair is much like Reis but his bangs are too in-the-way. It wasnI just wanted to make sure. What is up, Matsuoka? Did you get your heart broken or something?s hair.
Rin looked at Makoto by reflex when Mikoshiba asked him. He wasnProbably. But who cares about that? I Rin challenged the drifting Haruka.
Ouch. Probably?
Upon seeing Rin, Haruka cant afford to lose, he just lost to Rin a few days ago when he knew, all along, Makoto had liked Rin. He looked at Makoto who is now giving his usual assuring smile, but whats not honest at all. Makoto turned away from him after a few seconds of looking at Rin.
Did Rin said something? Haruka wondered. Honestly, he only heard the part where Rin challenged him and nothing more before that.
Makoto approached Rin with a storm in his chest. Nervous. He hadnNee, Rinrin. Can Nagisa suddenly pounced Rin from behind.
re heavy!Well, if itm beating Haru today, I can feel it.W-well, good luck Rin, t expect a cold shoulder treatment from Rin. At least, he thought that its when Makoto realized that Rin was ignoring him. Sure they high-fived when Rin won the race with Haru by 2 seconds, but Rin didnt smile. When Makoto smiled at him, Rin would find someone else to talk to. Makoto didns not on purpose.
Probably.
Makoto stopped. There was a lump in his throat. Maybe he is.
Makoto hoped that he was dreaming. Makoto prayed that he was dreaming. Rin was there, hanging out on their usual group dates with Haruka, Nagisa, Rei, Gou and himself, but it had been two weeks had they interacted with each other. Makoto did prompted Rin into conversation at times, but the redhead never replies to him, never directly. He covered it up so good that only Makoto and he knew that he never replied to Makoto.
Rin and Makoto walked side by side after their outing. Haruka was walking behind them. He had noticed that something was off between the two of them, it had been bothering him for quite sometimes. Makoto hardly smiles when Rin is around. He smiles on occasions, but not like before, and Rin on the other hand sometimes act way too over the top when he is with them.
Nagisa whispered.
Rei butted into NagisaFight? Mako-chan? I don Nagisa exclaimed loudly in surprise.
Makoto turned around.
