Finally I'm back with some more RinHaru! I hope you guys enjoy this update :)

HEADS UP, IF YOU RECEIVED AN UPDATE ABOUT THIS STORY I ONLY CHANGED ONE LINE LATER IN THIS CHAPTER, NOTHING MONUMENTAL. THANK YOU

After his outburst Rin decided that heading to the beach that was close to Haru's house would be a good place to cool his temper. All the way he fumed.

"I swear Haru can be so stupid." He muttered to himself as he walked off in the direction of the ocean.

Still seated at the table were Makoto and Haru, the former still in shock from Rin's statement. Again the silence in the room lasted, only to be broken when Makoto stood up.

"I'll go find him." Makoto decided as he headed towards the door.

"No, I'll go. I made him mad." Haru stopped Makoto before he could even open the door. Haru seemed as though he wasn't affected at all by Rin's statement from earlier.

"That's why I don't want you to go Haru."

"I'll be back." And with those three simple words Haru left the house, leaving Makoto alone.

"Well that happened." Makoto quietly said as he sat back down at the table to finish his dinner. While also hoping that both of his friends were okay.

Haru thought about where Rin could have stormed off to; it could have been a local cafe, no they were closed at this time, the sun was setting. That left pretty much only one other place Haru could think that Rin could cool off at, the beach. As he walked Haru thought about the event that ultimately made Rin yell, not just that he forgot.

It was a year prior as Haru entered the local market. He needed some more fresh fish for the restaurant, mostly mackerel, as well as some fresh vegetables.

Haru walked over to the fish section, with the daily catches on an ice display. He was intently looking at each fish, trying to determine which would be the best. That was until he heard a quiet feminine voice from his side.

"Excuse me sir, could you hand me that fish at the top of the display?" When Haru looked to see the person the voice was connected to he saw a little old lady. With a small nod he reached up and grabbed the fish she was pointing at, and handed it back to her. He figured that she went to pay and wouldn't come back, but he was wrong as she was back next to him asking him other questions.

"May I ask your name?" It seemed like a polite question, something so she could politely thank him.

"Haru." He responded, not bothering to say his full name. He didn't want someone else to say something about his name being girly.

"Thank you Haru." He glanced back to her, she was standing with a bag of goods she already purchased. There was part of him that wanted to ask her why she was talking to him but he could hear Makoto in the back of his mind saying that that wouldn't be polite. There was also a part of him that was reminded of his late grandmother.

"It's no problem." He nodded handing the fish he chose back to the cashier so they could ring him up.

"What kind of things do you like Haru?" That was a weird question for a complete stranger to ask.

"Swimming and water." That was his standard answer although he liked other things as well. He liked his friends, he liked cooking, as well as drawing and painting.

"If you could would you live in the water Haru?" This was honestly an even weirder question, but since he was busy paying for the fish Haru wasn't paying much attention. So he gave a small nod in response.

After he received his freshly packaged fish he turned back to see if the old lady was still there. No one stood in her place except for air. With a quick look around the rest of the food stalls he noticed that she was nowhere to be seen, and then went back to his shopping.

On the beach there was almost no one in sight, except for the occasional fishing boat coming back to the dock. Rin was able to find an empty spot and sit down, still fuming. As well as occasionally letting out an exasperated sigh. The beach was his calming place though.

After sitting for what felt like at least 30 minutes he felt someone sit down next to him. When he turned to look he saw the raven hair of Haru, who was looking out at the ocean.

"I'm sorry Rin."

Rin wanted to stay angry, but it was becoming increasingly difficult with each passing second. After a couple minutes of trying to muster up some anger, and failing somehow, Rin let out an audible sigh turning to Haru.

"There are just weird people in this town Haru."

"I know. You're one of them."

"Shut up." Haru just shrugged at Rin's comment. "It also doesn't help that people are spreading rumors."

At the moment Rin stopped talking somewhere up on the road was yelling. They both could hear what he was yelling, "Fish people walk among us!"

"See?" Rin jerked his thumb in the direction the voice came from, showing that there were indeed some weird people in the town.

"Isn't that the guy who screams end of the world ramblings into people's mailboxes?" Haru asked. This guy was well known in the town as the crazy conspiracy theory person.

"Yes, because and I quote 'the president monitors all of them.'" Rin's statement caused a small smile to appear on Haru's face, something that was still a rare sight. Rin was grinning his anger clearly forgotten, there must be something about being around the person you love that just does that to you.

"I just want to protect you Haru."

"You sound like Makoto saying that."

"Oi, I guess I do." Rin scratched the back of his head ruffling his maroon hair.

"Rin, is it true you love me?" Haru asked in a pretty nonchalant way causing Rin's face to turn a shade close to his hair.

Rin grumbled to himself as he turned his head the opposite way of where Haru was sitting, trying to hide the ever growing blush. His friends weren't supposed to see this side of him, he was supposed to be this tough person.
