𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 clawed at the girl's skin creating an uncomfortable itch that could only be soothed by the cool water of a pool. y/n adjusted the strap of her one part swimming costume as she sat on the ledge of the poolside. she watched aki finish her third lap of the large pool and yelled at her. "why bother wasting your energy swimming?" y/n asked, her feet batting the water.

"what makes you think i'd waste the opportunity to use this big pool?" aki yelled back, using her fingers to comb her short hair back into a ponytail. "where's haru with our drinks?"

at that moment, the black haired boy came in with a metal tray holding a single orange drink that had a blue straw tilting from its side. aki's eyebrows scrunched together as haru handed y/n the drink. "oi. where's my drink?"

"you are meant to be on duty and looking after miss l/n." haru defended, standing by y/n. "you shouldn't be swimming in the first place."

"let her have fun, haru." y/n laughed, stirring her drink with her straw. "why don't you join us? show me your swimming skills?"

haru hid his blush and cleared his throat. the boy was pleased to hear the girl wanted to see his skills. the only problem was to develop some talent and get rid of aki. then everything would fall into place.

aki's whiny voice interrupted the boy's train of thought. "as if haru could own any form of a skill." the short haired female swam closer towards y/n and haru. "i have more talent in my finger than he has in his entire body."

haru scowled, forgetting y/n was there. "you menace." he lowly muttered.

aki scowled right back at him and splashed water at him, getting some water on y/n as well. as y/n laughed, haru's eyes widened. but the devious female wasn't done there. she tugged at haru's shoes causing the boy to tilt dangerously forwards above the pool.

y/n lightly gasped before watching as haru was shoved into water.

haru splashed into the water, trying his best to swim back to the edge as aki laughed at him. grunting and out of breath, the boy climbed out of the pool, his smart white shirt now sticking to his skin. y/n threw him a towel, observing the ticked off expression on his face. "don't be mad at aki, haru." the girl cooed. "she's just playing around and it will never happen again." she said as she sharply eyed the still laughing aki.

haru's face immediately softened as he unclenched his fists. he peeled off the wet shirt from his body, tutting at his soaked tie and sleeveless blazer. y/n pretended to admire the water as she sneaked glances at haru.

she tentatively watched the way water slowly made its way down the side of his body, the light from the windows gleaming onto his arms. haru locked eyes with her.

she attempted a nervous smile, her lip slightly quivering. her e/c eyes didn't dare leave his dark ones. "are you alright, miss l/n?" he asked, fretting he had done something wrong. "do you need anything?"

"n-no." the girl stammered, tearing her eyes from the boy.

aki rolled her eyes at the tension. "don't just sit there. go change into something and swim with us." she groaned, fighting the urge to roll her eyes again. "you're wasting y/n's weekend."

as haru apologies and hastily left the room, aki starred y/n down. "so we're not going to talk about what just happened?" she questioned, crossing her arms and she climbed out the pool.

y/n, who was still sitting on the ledge, tilted her head. "what?"

"the way you were staring down haru?" aki said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "don't tell me you like him? you can do much better."

"i never stared him down." the girl blatantly lied. "i was just shocked."

"shocked that haru turned out to be so hot for a book nerd?" aki admitted. "yeah, i'm shocked too."

the hairs on the back of y/n's neck stood up at the mention of the word 'hot'. she didn't think haru was attractive surely? sure, he hung on her every word and listened to her attentively. he also cared for her more than her own parents. haru had everything she was looking for. but the attraction just wasn't there.

"he's not a book nerd." y/n defended the boy. "he's intelligent."

aki teased her and haru came back to the pool room in nothing but swimming trunks. "nice hair, nerd."

y/n gawked at the magnificent bun that had been sloppily secured with a hair tie and now rested on top of haru's head. "cool hair, haru! can you do mine like that?" she asked, forgetting aki was there.

"thank you, miss l/n. it would be a pleasure to help you do your hair." haru smiled, walking to sit behind y/n.

as aki jealously watched from inside the pool, haru ran his fingers through y/n's h/c and tied it into the best style he could manage. feeling out the new hairstyle on her head, y/n admired the look in her reflection in the water. "do you like it? i can always redo it." haru worried.

"no way! i love it."

they both went silent, staring into each other's eyes until the silence was broken by aki splashing water at their legs. "will you do my hair, haru?" aki sweetly asked, faking a smile at him.

"no." he bluntly told her, giving her a threatening glare. "i do not wish to touch your hair."

"rude." she muttered, beginning another lap of the pool.

y/n slid herself into the pool and began a lap of her own. she wasn't as nearly as fast as aki but took it upon herself to race the girl anyway. haru sighed from the ledge, watching the two girls splash each other with water when y/n lost their race.
