Waves of Future

Part 3

Haru stood on his doorstep, phone in hand, dialing his sensei Azuma. "Azuma-san, I'm ready to do what you said. I'll give up everything to get stronger and win," he said, his voice determined. Azuma simply agreed, and Haru began mechanically gathering his clothes.

With his parents away somewhere in the world, he felt a sense of solitude. Among his things, he found a bottle of sake with a note from Asahi. He'd heard that alcohol could help one forget, so he decided to drink some, hoping it would help him sleep before his upcoming training camp. Without measuring, he drank a large amount, leaving him feeling hazy.

As he made his way upstairs to bed, a knock at the door interrupted him. Assuming it was Rin coming to apologize, he opened it to find not him but his younger sister, Gou. Despite feeling the weight of the day's events, he tried to maintain composure. Seeing her drenched from running in the rain, he realized she must have come from their house. Wondering if Rin had sent her to talk to him, he felt a surge of anger.

"What do you want? It's late. Go home and talk to me tomorrow," he said sharply. Taken aback by his tone, Gou hesitated before slipping past him and removing her shoes in the living room.

Facing each other, tension hung in the air. Gou took a deep breath and spoke up, addressing him respectfully as "Haru-senpai, What happened between you and Onichan, was it related to your recent tournament, Don't you worry senpai, you and rin-nichan will be friends again soon, and you will win the race." She expressed her belief that they would reconcile and encouraged him to be the bigger person. Haru tried to ignore her, hoping she would leave if he went upstairs, but she persisted, her voice growing louder with each sentence.

Frustrated, Haru grabbed her hands and pushed her against the wall. Startled, Gou met his gaze, realizing for the first time that he wasn't in the right state of mind. She attempted to wiggle away, but his grip tightened, making her feel trapped. "Haruka-senpai, let me go. We can talk tomorrow," she pleaded.

But instead of complying, he acted impulsively. Without a word, he slammed his lips onto hers, catching her off guard. Both of them expected her to slap him and push him away in disgust. Yet, something unexpected happened.

Perhaps it was her desire for him, or maybe it was the anguish she saw in his eyes. Whatever it was, Gou found herself drawn to him, her initial resistance melting away. She responded to his kiss with equal fervor, opening her mouth to him, giving him everything she had to offer.In that moment, all their pent-up emotions and frustrations melted away, leaving only desire and longing. Haru explored her with a mix of clumsiness and confidence, their tongues and teeth clashing in a dance of passion. He stripped her of her defenses, her entire being consumed by his touch.

All his pent-up anger vanished as he lost himself in the feel of her hair, her skin, and her softness. In that intimate moment, they were no longer two separate individuals but instead intertwined in a whirlwind of emotion and desire.

As they collapsed onto his bed, Haru looked at Gou with a mix of longing and confusion. Overwhelmed by her feelings, she couldn't help but confess, "I love you, Haru-chan." His response was a hazy smile before exhaustion overtook them, and they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, Gou awoke in an unfamiliar bed, her movements restricted. She turned to see Haru lying beside her, still asleep. Knowing that waking up would only confuse him further, she carefully extricated herself from his embrace, leaving a gentle kiss on his cheek before quietly slipping out of the room. In the early morning light, she disappeared as though she had never been there.
