Cries of the Water (Haru x Reader)

Catching Up?

((That picture is so Kawaii tho ^-^))

"(Y/N)..." Haru gasped. I looked at him nervously, then looked to the ground.
"Surprise?" I said awkwardly. I honestly didn't want to be seen by anybody but now that it's Haru and the others, I am a little relieved.
Haru then rushed over and hugged me, tight. I was a little shocked at his sudden show of affection, but slowly accepted it.
"I guess you missed me?" I joked.
"(Y/N)-chan!!! I missed you so much!" Nagisa cheered, sort of suffocating me with his hug.
"C-can't... breathe..." I gasped. The two then let go of me and I took in air again.
"Welcome back, (Y/N)," Makoto said kindly opening his arms to hug me. I gladly accepted his hug and then broke away looking at everyone's bright faces.
"You have changed (Y/N)-chan!" Nagisa exclaimed.
"Oh really? I honestly thought I wouldn't change one bit," I sarcastically remarked. Haru slightly snickered but then went back to his normal emotionless face. I then sat with them and ate my homemade lunch and we caught up...

"(Y/N)-chan! We have a swim club and you should join!" Nagisa said, tugging at my sleeve.
"No," I said bluntly.
"Why?!" He whined.
"I quit competitive swimming a long time ago," I sighed taking a bit of my lunch.
"Wha?! Why?! You were so good!" Mako questioned.
"I-it just wasn't the same when I left you guys..." I mumbled.
"What did you say?" Nagisa asked.
"Nothing... I just didn't want to compete anymore, okay?" I growled.
"I know, (Y/N)," Haru said, looking into the sky surrounding.
"What?" I asked, a little curious of what he meant. He then looked into my eyes, seriously but with empathy.
"I know what you said and I did the same kind of thing..." He sighed staring into the blue sky once again.
"Haru-chan, why do you keep staring at the sky?" Nagisa asked with childish eyes.
"It's kind of like the water... Endless, beautiful waves of blue..." He imagined.
"Of course you would say that, Haru-chan," Nagisa joked.
"I never thought of it that way before, Haru..." I smiled at him. His cheeks were tinted a little pink and I was quite confused but didn't choose to think on it.
"I am sorry that I am late, Haruka-senpaii!" A sudden voice said. I turned around to see a tall, fit boy with red glasses perched on his nose and purple black hair.
"I don't care," Haru replied.
"Haruka-senpaii? Who is this?" The boy asked.
"(L/N)(Y/N)..." I replied letting out a hand to shake.
"Ryugazaki Rei..." He nodded, shaking my hand.
"You all have quite feminine names, don't you?" I joked.
"Always been that way, (Y/N)," Mako smiled.
"Do you swim?" Rei asked.
"Me? I... Um... Sort of?" I replied.
"What do you mean by that?" He interrogated.
"Woah there, Rei.. We don't need to scare her on her first day back," Mako said pulling him away from me.
"Back? Have you been here before?" Rei asked.
"Yup, I used to live here..." I sighed, remembering that past.
"PLEASE JOIN THE SWIM TEAM!" Nagisa chimed, jumping onto me.
"Eh?! Where did that come from?!" I replied, him still on top of me.
"Get off of her," Haru said coldly, pulling him off. I blushed at his sudden actions of... protection? I didn't really know exactly, but it had feelings behind it.
"I completely get it, Haru... I know you want to be the guy on top of her," Nagisa remarked.
"Nagisa you are dead!" I shouted chasing him around.
"Missed you too, (Y/N)-chan!" Nagisa cooed.
