"S-sorry... I felt scared when you fell into the pool and it caught up to me..."
"What has? Feeling that type of fear?"
"Y-yeah... *Sob*..."
He fell to his knees and pulled me down with him. I had then realized that my arms were around him and I was comforting him.
"I-It's ok Haru... To tell you the truth... For some reason I felt scared when you fell in the water even though I knew you were better at swimming than me."
"H-heh... That's funny..."
He seemed to snuggle up to me as he cried. About five minutes had past and Haru had collected himself.
"S-sorry for doing that... I don't like crying..."
I smiled at him.
"Neither do I."
"Do you feel up to walking?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that if you don't want to walk I can give you a piggyback ride."
I felt my face heat up.
"B-b-but that's r-really childish!!!"
I yelled. He got up and helped me up.
"Oh c'mon! You have said and done more childish things than that!"
"How would you know?!"
"Makoto."
"Damn!"
He smiled and laughed quietly.
"C'mon."
He turned around and and knelt back down.
"H-Haru..."
I blushed and looked away as he chuckled.
"Then do you want to walk?"
I shifted my weight and felt that a pain ran through my leg. He turned around and looked worried.
"What's wrong?"
"I-I must've huet my leg when I fell in the pool."
"How?"
"I might've hit my leg off of the pool wall before falling in... Can I have that piggyback ride now?"
I smiled sheepishly. He smiled back and knelt back down. I climbed onto his back and he stood up.
"You're really light!"
He said, surprised.
"Heh heh... Yeah... I don't eat very much at all..."
He smiled and started to walk out of the community pool.
"Hey wait... We need to get our clothes..."
Haru sat me on a little bench as he climed up the diving board to get my clothes. His clothes were on the bench beside me. I saw his phone on top of his clothing. It vibrated notifying that he got a text message. I felt bad but I looked at his phone. It was Kou.
'I'm sorry Haru... Please take me back! I want to be with you again. I promise I won't do this another time. I just get so afraid that you are cheating on me... I want us to be together again...'
I locked his phone and set it back down. I got up yet forgot about the pain in my leg. I fell down onto the ground immediately.
"O-ow..."
Haru quickly walked over to me and helped me up.
"What are you doing?"
He asked me. I felt as tears fell down my face.
"I-it's nothing Haru... Don't w-worry about i-it..."
I sat back on the bench after Haru helped me and I cried. I felt him wrap his arms around me. He felt so warm.
"Please tell me what's wrong..."
He hugged me tighter.
"Y-you'll get angry with me..."
"What ? Why?"
"I-... I looked at your phone because you got a message..."
He picked up his phone and saw it was Kou. He read it quickly then sent her something back.
"Please don't read what I sent her."
He quickly hugged me then went to where he set my clothes. I couldn't help it though. I picked up his phone and read it.
'I'm sorry Kou but I can't be with you. I kind of want to be with... Nevermind... Just I can't be with you... I'm sorry...'
I started to cry more. I felt it was all my fault. Then the phone went off again.
'Why?! Is it because of that fat girl, Akiko?! Huh?! Is it because of her!?!'
I started to sob uncontrollably.
'Why? Why did this happen to me...?'
Haru brought my clothes over to me.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
He got down beside me and looked closely at my face.
"Why are you crying again?"
I couldn't tell him that I looked at his phone. It wkuld make him angry. He then sighed.
"Did you read the message?"
I looked up at him with tear filled eyes.
"I-I'm so sorry... You t-told me not to b-ut I did... K-Kou texted you back..."
His eyes widened as he grabbed his phone. He looked it over and frowned.
"If you think it's your fault... You're-"
"I'm sorry for causing trouble... You should just have Makoto take me home..."
He got beside me again and hugged me.
"You didn't let me finish. If you do think it is your fault... It isn't."
He hugged me tighter as I cried more.
"H-haru..."
I felt his hand on the side of my face so I opened my eyes. As soon as I did, Haru kissed me and made my eyes fly open. He kissed me gently but also passionately.
"M-mmph..."
I gave in and kissed back. Soon I ran out of breath and pushed on his chest weakly. The kiss had drained all of my strength. He finally broke the kiss and we were gasping.
"*Gasp* H-Haru... Why'd you."
Then he kissed me again. He kissed me over and over again. After everytime, it took the breath and strength out of me. After he was finally done kissing me, he picked me up and sat me on the bench.
"Here. I'll help you with this."
He picked up my pants and held them out for me to put them on. I weakly lifted my leg and put it in the pant leg.
"Are you feeling that weak?"
"W-well yeah... You t-took a-all of the strength out of m-me!"
He then helped me put my other leg in the pant leg. He helped me stand up.
"Hold onto my shirt or something so you don't fall."
I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled up my pants for me. He set me back down and helped me put on my shirt. He handed me my phone which I weakly accepted.
"Well... I-I'm just useless, a-aren't I?"
I smiled jokingly.
"You're not useless. I just made you weak."
He smiled as he kissed me one last te but it was just a quick peck on the lips.
"I love you..."
