Chapter 5

I walked into the Samezuka Academy and began to wander towards the dorm that Sosuke was in. I patiently waited in the lobby for Sosuke to come down to meet me. When the elevator doors opened I saw the familiar mountain walk towards me with his hands pushed deep into his pockets. He walked towards me in his jeans and plain black shirt with his Samezuka jacket over his shoulders.

"Evening, Kei."

"Evening. So where are we going?" I asked him.

"Just a nearby restaurant, but before we go I need to swing by the pool." The two of us began walking out of the dorm and towards the pool.

"Why? Do you need to take a quick dip before we leave? Are you a actual fish?" I teased him as I poked his arm. He laughed slightly at my horrible joke.

"Well if I was I'm pretty sure you would know, but no. I need to give Rin his room key since we're leaving and I don't know what time he'll be back in tonight." As I began to recall what time it was I looked at Sosuke with a confused face.

"What's Rin doing swimming at this time? Does he live in that pool?" We had reached the front doors of the pool and Sosuke opened it for me. I thanked him as we walked in.

"Nope. He's teaching someone."

"Who?" But as soon as I asked my question I saw the answer right in front of me. Rei was on his back with Rin standing beside him.

"Hey, Rin. I brought you your key." Sosuke called out to his closest friend. Rin looked over to see the two of us standing there and waved.

"Thanks, Sosuke and what're you doing here, Kei?"

"Kei-san!" Rei practically yelled as he began to drown before he resurfaced and filled his air with lungs again.

"Just going to dinner, so are you the errand that Rei keeps talking about?"

"Kei, I can completely explain what's going on here." Rei began to move around the pool in a frenzy. I stifled my laugh from how easy it was to make Rei lose his cool.

"It's okay, Rei. I can put two and two together and come out with four. But why not just tell the guys about this?"

"Well…I wanted to surprise them all and when we get new members I want to be able to say that I am their senpai." His head slightly dropped as he explained his reasoning as to learning how to swim the other strokes. I walked over to the side of the pool and reached out for his hand. Rei looked at me quizzically as he gave me his hand to hold.

"They're going to love this surprise, Rei. I promise that I won't tell them, so you better keep up the good work." A smile spread across his face as he looked up at me.

"I will!"

"Well this is a nice treat, huh?" I smiled at Sosuke as I took another bite of my sandwich.

"Yea it is. We haven't really had any proper time to sit down and catch up again." He replied.

"But this is a little odd though. I never would've pinned you down as the type to want to go for dinner." I laughed.

"Well I'm full of surprises." I smiled at him one more time before taking another bite of my sandwich. "How's Haru?"

"He's good, thanks for asking." I answered.

"He makes you happy, right?"

"Yes he does…that's weird."

"What is?"

"Haru asked me the same question the other night." I recalled the night of the reopening of Iwatobi SC Return.

"Coincidence?"

"Probably."

"What're you two going to do?" I felt my eyebrow raise at his question. It didn't make any sense to me. "After graduation, what're you two going to do?"

"I don't know." I was being honest – I didn't know what was going to happen to Haru and I when we graduated. A part of me always knew that day was going to come, but I didn't want to think about it just yet. The idea of not being with Haru killed me, but to also put Makoto in that equation absolutely devastated me. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

"Hey, Kei."

"Yes?"

"Do you know what you're going to do? After graduation?"

"I'm going to become a music teacher." I smiled at him.

"Really?"

"What? Do you think I'm bad with kids?"

"Of course not! I just thought that you'd go into the music industry." He laughed as he explained himself.

"Oh…well that's a little risky. You never know if you're going to actually do well and I don't want to put my parents through that, so I'm going to become a teacher instead. What about you?"

"Me? I've been scouted for universities." He answered.

"Really? That's great! So you're going to continue swimming?" I knew that my face had light up when he told me that he was scouted. Sosuke was a fantastic swimmer and I knew that swimming in competitions would fit him perfectly.

"Yea, I am."

Super short chapter because you guys haven't given me any reviews and that makes me sad! So if you want another chapter next week you better leave me some reviews.
