Limitless (Rin Matsuoka x OC)

63. The trip Part 2 (+18)

Next morning, Haru woke up hearing Rin grunting in pain beside him. Worried for his friend, Haru quickly turned to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, shaking him.

"Oi. Rin! Wake up. What's wrong?"

Rin let out another grunt, his brows furrowed, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Oi!" He called again, shaking him harder, somehow pushing Rin on his back.

"Ah! B-babe..." Moaned the redhead in his sleep before he slowly opened his eyes only to meet Haru's gaze.

Rin gasped then gulped, his face quickly heating up. Haru looked at him with his usual emotionless look.

"You just had a wet dream, didn't you?" Asked Haru unfazed.

Hearing that, Rin's blush reached all the way to his ears.

"W-wha-what? What are you even saying?! No! Of-of course not! I'd never have a wet dream with you here!" He barked angrily, trying to control his embarrassment.

"Right. And that is your knee." Muttered Haru pointing lower down Rin's body where, as he laid on his back, legs stretched on the matress, one single prominence being taller than the rest of his body.

Rin quickly raised his knees, his hands flying to cover the area, his face turning even redder than before, blinking away the tears of embarrassment that gathered at the corner of his eyes.

"S-shut up! It's natural! Asshole! Like you don't get a morning wood!" Barked Rin quickly only for Haru to shrug and get out of bed, walking into the bathroom like nothing happened.

---------------------------------------------------------

The two males stood side by side at the train station, still not talking after the morning incident.

"Oi..." Muttered Rin in the end. "We are never to mention this. EVER." He said looking at Haruka threateningly.

"Yeah, yeah..." Muttered Haru.

As their train came, the two got on, after the train ride, Rin leading Haru to another part of the city, to the Aquatic Center.

"Here we are." Said Rin looking ahead at the grandios building.

Haru looked at it too but he didn't really get it.

"What is this?"

"A stadium for international swimming competitions. Let's go." Rin said walking ahead, Haru following him.

Haru looked around all the awards adorning the walls and shelves around only to flinch in surprise when he heard Rin call for him. Looking ahead, he saw the redhead leaning on a railing.

Walking over and looking down, he saw a huge, beautiful pool, the crystal clear water reflecting back in his blue eyes making him stir inside.

"This is where the best swimmers in the world race one another. This is what I wanted to show you." Said Rin, smiling as he looked down at the water. "Let's swim, Haru."

"We can swim here?" Asked Haru surprised.

"Of course. Anyone can." Reassured Rin, leading Haru to the locker rooms.

After they changed, they went to the pool only to see the national team preparing for practice.

Despite that, they still made their way to the starting blocks, diving in.

After a few laps, they got out and changed, walking out into the park there looking over the harbor, enjoying the view of the setting sun.

"The coach who trained me while I was studying in Australia called me recently. He asked if I'd consider swimming here again. Before we head back to Japan I intend to see him and ask him formally to let me join his team. Even though I took one heck of a detour, I was finally able to come back here. And this time I won't lose." Grinned Rin confidently.
