Chapter 1 – My previous life

The water caressed me. It caressed my arms, my body, my face. It swirled my hair in it. It lets me swim. I relish the feeling of water on my skin, soft and calm and comforting. My hands were pushing through it, allowing me passageway. My feet were kicking, kicking me forward. I was swimming like I hadn't a care in the world, and I really didn't.

I could see the wall on the side of the pool and I curled myself into a ball, feet kicking the wall to propel myself forward. As I did so, I could feel a mild rush of ecstasy blast through me. That fast feeling of shooting through the water gave me the adrenaline I needed to finish off the final lap.

I popped my head out of the water, drinking air into my lungs. "Nice job there, Haru." Standing there with his hand stretched out was an ecru-haired male with a tanned body. He was tall, heavily-built and his muscles were ripping. "Right." I took his hand and heaved myself out of the pool. The one standing before me was none other than Makoto, my longest childhood friend. He gave me one of his joyful smiles.

"Heeyyy!~ Don't forget about meeee!~" A platinum blonde pushed himself out of the water, goggles hanging loosely in his hand. His hot pink eyes faked a look of sadness. "Makoto! You always go off with Haru-chan on your own!~" He gave a slight pout which earned a small laugh from the ecru-haired male.

"Sorry about that, Nagisa." replied Makoto.

The blonde plastered a big grin on his face and hooked his hands behind him. "That's okay Makoto!" he said in his sing-song voice. "But Haru-chan really does remind me of a dolphin when he swims!~"

Makoto nodded in agreement. "Yep, and you look like a penguin!"

Nagisa was dramatic once again. "I must be the CUTE-est penguin in the world!~" Which was true, in a sense. Nagisa looked more like a girl than a guy, with his blonde locks, pale skin and lithe figure. You couldn't know if he was a guy, unless of course, you saw him take a skinny dip before.

While the two were still chatting about... well, about nothing in general, I had to take another dip in the pool. With a splash, I was in the cool, calming waves once more, the water relaxing my mind. I was floating and floating, floating away to a calmer world...

"Aah! Again, Haru-chan?" shouted Makoto form the other side of the pool.
Ignoring it.
"Isn't it okay? Since he looks so relaxed!~" commented Nagisa.
I just wanted to float away.

Sorry for the OOC-ness guys. Please review!
