~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me and Nagisa started walking to the train station...
He looked like he didn't have something to tell so I –as I usually do these days- have to start the strange conversation.
"So Nagisa, the truth is that I want to talk to you..." I looked at him; I wanted to make sure that he understands how important this was.
"Well we didn't have the chance to talk alone since I got back, so after I say what I need to, you can always ask whatever you want." I finished with a smile.
"There is no need for that (Name)-Chan, Mako-Chan and Haru-Chan told me everything I wanted to know"
"They did?" I told nervously with a smile... "Well...that makes it easier for me"
"...I have another thing to ask you...But I believe it can wait until you say what you want...You can start anytime...I'm all ears"
I wanted to talk to him about how he can approach correctly Roy-Kun...No wait I think it was Rei-Kun... I can't remember which the correct one is...
"I can call you Nagi-Chan again right?" He nodded so I contained...... "I want you to talk about that new member that you want to steal from the track club, it's not the correct word –steal- but you get what I'm talking about..." He didn't say a thing, so I'm going to move to the point. "So Nagi-Chan, do you need any advice how to convince him to join us? Because if he doesn't want to so bad, you can't make him you know..."
I could see clearly that Nagisa's face was troubled. "Why don't you tell me from the beginning everything about him?"
Nagisa told me everything, I find out that his name is actually Rei, and about his obsession about beautiful things, what a drug... Anyway he told me everything he knew shortly.
"So (Name)-Chan, what do you suggest?" Nagisa asked me with worry overflowing his eyes.
"Since the practice in tomorrow afternoon we don't have much time, But from the one hand we have o hurry and on the other, we must not pressure him coz we are going to lose him." I was lost in my thought...
"You are really smart (Name)-Chan and you can understand people well... that something that I always admire on you..." Nagisa was staring directly on my eyes... I must be bright red by now... so I looked away and pretend I didn't hear anything.
"You said that you usually meet him in the train so there is a possibility to meet him now...Or at least tomorrow morning... Everything must be done today or tomorrow before school unless we- I mean you can't participate in the practice" I was lost in my thought again...
"Ok the only thing that I can think of, is just to explain the situation to him. That way, we don't steal him from his previous club, he doesn't have to join the club anyway, we just need him to be in the practice as the fourth member. Surely he can join afterwards if he wants to but, we can't pressure him. We can just hope that he will help us." Nagisa was hopefully paying attention to me... I was worried for some reason.
"Plus, if there is anybody here that can convince someone to do something, you are the perfect one, Nagisa" I was smiling again. It's not much of help, but it's all I can offer.
"Thank you (Name)-Chan, I will think everything you told me and I will use it to the best of my ability" He said loudly.
"Well I'm happy that I could help." We were almost there, so we didn't have much time left, Nagisa's train would be there at any moment.
I was a hundred percent sure what he was going to ask me, and I was one hundred percent sure wanting to avoid that question so I politely toke my leave, wishing him good luck. He must notice I was nervous but this was the last thing I could care of.
I went straight home, I wanted so bad to see my Oba-Chan, I wanted to tell her everything about the practice and how desperate we needed another member. I could never tell her anything about what happen with Haru it will be so embarrassing.
-Evening-
Message received from; Emilia-Chan
Hello (Name)-Chan ;), I got a message from the secretary, our lessons will be canceled for tomorrow,
I will see you the day after,
Have fun with your friends bye! – Emilia.
Nice! I have an idea of what I'm going to do tomorrow morning before practice... but I have to ask Oba-Chan for help first...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning I woke up in my usual time, and got dressed...
I had my breakfast, and went straight to the "Zero Sports" the biggest sports mall around here. I explained to my Oba-Chan that I needed new swimsuit and for my surprise she offered me enough money to buy one, so I decided to buy a towel and a sports bag too.
This place was not that far from the train's stop so it didn't took me so long to be there.
Okay, this place is HUGE! I ended up completely lost in there for about three times, but there where so many things for me to choose. I also can't remember when the last time I went for shopping was, so it was like two birds with one stone. I missed it so much.
After almost an hour and a half inside the big store, I end up buying the things I needed.
It was almost lunchtime so I thought it would be a good idea to find a place for me to have lunch. I went to a small casual restaurant near the mall. I ordered (favorite food) and (favorite drink) when suddenly I hear my phone ringing...
"Moshi-Moshi..."
"Moshi-Moshi (Name)-Chan, it's me Nagisa... You are not in lesson or something right?"
"Its lunch time Nagisa... and today I'm not in the university, my activities were canceled... Oh! How did it go? I mean this Rei-Kun"
"That's why I called you (Name)-Chan..." His voice it cheerful so I guess everything went well... Coz if they can't practice in the indoor pool that Samezuka have, all I bought will be useless for some time.
"Well, with everything you told me and with some things from my head I ended up to convince him to help us!"
"Ah! Nagi-Chan! This is amazing! I'm so happy!" I almost shouted.
I couldn't hold myself. Everything went fine in the end. I can't imagine how happy Haru will be with this.
Nagisa told me what did he said to him, and how did he accept to help us. Rei said that he won't do any swimming; this could be a little problem but now what it matters is that we surely will go to the joined practice with them. I ended Nagisa's call as my lunch arrived.
This afternoon will be one of the best, I will swim again in a pool after so much time... I'm so excited.

Before I go to school to meet the boys and Kou I stopped to my house to change to what I bought, and to put on my (fav-color)sports clothes. And I quickly run to the school, where I found everyone, including the boy named Rei.
(Hopefully reader-Chan remembers that his name is not Roy).
I have to admit that he looks cool; no wonder it caught Nagisa's interest.
"My name is (Name) the physiotherapy assistant of this club, you must be Ryugazaki Rei-Kun, right?" I saw him freaked out for a bit when he heard the word assistant, but he didn't say a thing.
"Yeah, that's me, nice to meet you (Name)-san." Rei said quite formally for my taste. "I didn't know that a new club like this one had the budget to afford a physiotherapy assistant. Not even the track club doesn't have one."
"Well Rei-Kun, I'm just a university student and I offer as much help I can to this club, coz the local university and this school work nice together. All of my friends are in this club so here I am" I told with a big smile.
"Now that I remembered, did you all do everything from the exercise program that I sent you? It was a light warm up."
"Haru did most of it" Makoto told while he was looking Haru from the corner of his eyes.
"Me and Makoto competed it all" Nagisa added. Kou looked pleased coz I asked her to make sure that they don't ignore their exercise projects. But I noticed that Rei looked unsure of what's going on.
"Rei-Kun?" He looked at me. "I know that you aren't a real member of the club yet, and you decided to help us for today's practice this morning. I also know that you don't want to swim with us today, so if you want to join our practice again as the fourth member I will send you the exercise program to warm yourself so you want hurt your body during the practice and avoid the pain afterwards." Rei didn't say a thing but with eye contact he made himself clear that he had his full attention to me.
"Again Rei-Kun, Thank you for all your help" I said with bowing my head lightly.
"Thank you" everyone said.
Rei now was half covering his face. I found it kind of cute...
We took the train all together this time and now we are in Samezuka's indoor pool.
"Indoor pools are so nice!" says Nagisa.
I notice Kou was mentally fangirling for the boys from the other school, I was used to have eye contact with male muscled bodies but the fact that there were so many boys there... *Sigh...it's so difficult to control myself...
In the meantime our guys got undressed too, I had already saw Haru, but Nagisa...also Makoto...I'm going to lose my mind if I don't be careful.
"Hey, thanks for coming!" I see a dark orange haired guy talking to Kou. He must be the captain she was talking about. I was between Rei and Makoto when the captain spoke and well, most of us bowed our heads saying
"Thank you very much!"
"Sure... You're Nanase-Kun, right?" He said looking at Haru.
"You won a bunch of regional tournaments in grade school."
"Yeah..." Haru answered calm as ever...
"I've heard a lot about you. You may not remember, but when you won the Iwatobi regional, I was second." Their captain was talking while my eyes meet with a pair of dark red ones...I looked carefuly the boy as he looked back, he reminded me a little of someone...Oh my...he reminded me of Kou! So he must be that Rin kid?
I heard the captain "I still remember how you beat me on the 50 meter turn" Kou was going to that kid's direction so he really must be Rin...
I hear Rin saying "Gou, what are you trying to do?" Nagisa grabs my hand and he is running to that Rin saying loudly
"Rin-Chan! We get to swim together again!" And if I may add, he doesn't look pleased at all... "Let's have fun today."
"Together? You guys are waste of my time." Rin says and leaves. Well what is his problem... I know that things are not cool between them but at least little politeness would be nice.
"Oni-Chan..." says Kou...
"What's his problem?" That was Rei...
"Yeah, there's some history there" says Makoto.
"I didn't even have time to introduce (Name)-Chan to him." Oh my... Nagisa was heartbroken.
"I don't think that this was necessary" Oi! Come on Haru is jealous or what?
Suddenly the team's captain grabs my shoulders and while looking into my (eye color) eyes. Says;
"So this is the beautiful (Name)-Chan that Gou-Kun was talking about!?" I quickly send a look at Kou...
"Yeah, she is with us as a physiotherapy assistant I told you about, she is from the university"
"Domo!" I said with my eyes widened.
"Nice to meet you, (Name)-Chan! I'm Mikoshiba Seijuro!, Since you are older can I call you (Name)-Senpai or (Name)-San?"
"Nice to meet you Mikoshiba-Kun, its fine for me with any of them"
"Good! I will call you Senpai then!" He looks so happy for no reason that is almost getting my nerves.
"Why don't we start the practice?" A random guy from the other team said. Mikoshiba-Kun let me go, and now is standing in front of all of us.
"I was thinking that you could practice with our first-years today... Okay! Let's start with individual time trials."
He suddenly staring Rei... I saw that coming...
"You there! Get in your swimsuit."
"Uh, I'm not..."
Nagisa tries o cover Rei with the excuse that he forgot his swimsuit... Ah... we are pathetic...
"Why is he here, then? You can use one of our spare swimsuits, so go get changed!"
"This is bad" I whisper to Haru, I think he heard me coz he nodded.
"Hey, Nitori!"
"Yes! Come with me."
Uh, Actually I'm not..." Poor Rei is trying but...
"Hurry up!"
"I'm not swimming!" I honestly wanted to warn him that he probably has to swim but...
" He will be really angry with us..." I said...
"That's for sure..." Kou said...
When Rei was on a Speedo;
"The deal was that I wouldn't have to swim." My...My... he has well developed body as well... He is on the track club after all...
I was standing next to Kou watching carefully the boys that were suppose to swim; I saw Makoto was the first one from us. I wanted to see him swim again...I hope that I will be able to swim after the practice...
Nagisa was trying to comfort Rei...but it didn't seem to have any result.
They are all going to swim Free... Now Nagisa is ready to go...
I felt something was wrong and for some reason I looked up. I saw that boy, Rin was there... When he understood that I was staring him, he turned his head to the pool. What is his problem?
Oh Lord! Now was Rei's turn...
Makoto was out of the water and he was talking to Rei.
"You're up next, Ryugazaki-Kun"
"I already told you tha-" Rei didn't end his sentence when Mikoshiba-kun called for him again. He looked so stressed, but I can't understand the reason...
"Fine!" He finally said.
When he walked in front of Haru I saw that he told Rei something... I could not hear what...
"He looks like he is concentrating" I told Makoto and Haru who were next to me now...
"His Form is beautiful" Makoto adds.
And exactly at the staring time, when he looked like he would do a perfect start...
He falls into the water with a huge splash!
"Whaaaat?" It was something that surprised everyone!
My eyes were wide open...when it felt that something was off...
"Why is he still in the water?" I asked as calm as I could...
"He hasn't come back up." Makoto added a little nervous...
"This is bad!" says Kou... But Haru was already inside the pool to drag Rei out.
"Is he okay?" Mikoshiba-Kun was worried too.
Nagisa and Haru had already brought Rei up...
"I'm so relieved...." Now we could all relax.
Now Rei was sitting down having his back agents the wall and everyone including me where with him.
"So Rei-Chan, you can't swim?"
"Yeah" said Rei with a straight face but then he changed "Are you saying it's my fault?!"
"You should have said something earlier"
"I wasn't going to admit I couldn't swim"
"It's not something that you should be ashamed about; I almost got a heart attack you know... What if something worse happed? "
I wasn't upset with him, but he really scared me there... Makoto hold my arm telling me to calm down... he was right what's done is done...
"Sorry about that (Name)-Senpai, but that would go against my sense of beauty!"
"Rei-Chan..." Nagisa was serious... Then Makoto was the one that he spoke;
"I'll clear things up with Samezuka. Sorry about forcing you into this situation...Oh, its Haru's turn to swim" We all turned to face Haru
Mikoshiba-Kun gave the start signal.
From the corner of my eyes I saw the amazement in Rei's eyes, it was his first time that he see him swimming...
"It's so beautiful to watch!" says Nagisa in excitement...
"Is something wrong?" Asked Makoto,
"No, it's just..."
"Beautiful" I added for him.
"See? I told you so. Haru-Chan is an amazing swimmer."
I don't know exactly what Nagisa said to Rei to come with us today but I can see it in his eyes...
Haru was finished his turn, and do -that- thing with his hair, I mentally fangirled for that...but don't tell anyone...
When the whole practice was over, all of the boys went to take a shower; I ended up alone with Kou-Chan and Rei-Kun...
At least that was what I believed...
I couldn't hold myself anymore! I was wearing my swimsuit under my clothes so I got undressed without the other two noticing. As fast as I could, I run through the pool with a huge splash!
Rei's eyes widen and Kou had that "WTF" face on her...
At first, I just float on the surface... It felt so right to be in the pool's water again, it was nostalgic... before I realize it; I was swimming breaststroke with a huge smile on my face.
"(Name)-San, can actually swim like that?" That was Rei...
"She was in the same swim club with the senpais and Nagisa...She also won some awards from what I have heard" Kou explained.
"Oi! Don't talk like I'm not present." I told them from the other side of the pool.
"You should not be in there!" says a voice behind me.
"Oni-Chan!" I heard Kou.
"I hear you where in Iwatobi swim club, but I can't remember you"
A smirk appeared on my face "You must be Rin" I said with one of my hands on the edge of the pool, holding me there.
"What if I am..."
"I'm (Name), I have heard a lot of things about you from the time I got back, the reason you don't remember me is simple you haven't met me before. I left Iwatobi before you came here. If is so bad to be inside should I get out?"
Rin looked kind of shocked when I mention my name...does that mean that he has heard of me? I wander... Also he looks kind of nervous, he haven't seen a girl with swimsuit before or what...
"It doesn't concern me that you are using our pool, but this is an all boy's school so, if you don't want the boys staring you, I suggest you to get out..." I heard giggles from behind; I bet it was Kou...
"Oi! Gou!" Rin said angrily.
"Well...Rin my friend, I study physiotherapy in the local university and I'm quite ok seeing and be seen wearing swimsuits so it's absolutely fine by my side" I don't know if is a good idea to play the tough girl on these kinds of boys but what can he do me?
He smirked, "Do what you feel like! It's not my problem"
"Oi! Matsuoka! I wanted to tell you someth- , is that a female in the pool?" I didn't saw him but I could tell that he was Mikoshiba-Kun.
"Captain I was telling her, to go out of the pool for her sake..."
"What are you saying Matsuoka?!" He was staring at me, way too much but I tried to be cool especially after all that I told to Rin.
"There is no problem for me to be inside the pool right Captain Mikoshiba?" I asked.
"No! Not at all, but we better not be loud, ok?" I turned to Rin's side and blinked sometimes. After I dived deep in the pool.
Third's p.o.v.
"Why you didn't tell me that she could swim so well Gou-Kun?"
"I had no idea myself either"
"She looks really beautiful inside the water" Rei stated.
"Indeed" Mikoshiba-kun agreed.
"if you need me something I will be in my room, Captain" said Rin and left...
"And to think that she has to swim in a pool from her twelve..." Kou added.
"Seriously? She is quite in her form"
(Name) was swimming without an end over and over again in a standard rhythm, who would expect something like that...
"Now that I look her carefully, she would be good enough to join the synchronized Swimming team."
Then they heard her voice while she stopped for a moment;
"Nah... It's not my style, too fancy for my taste" She said and then continued her swimming.
'She has so nice body! And look at those boobs definitely not swimmer's boobs but...but... she is amazing. She looks so nice in the water, almost nice as Haruka-Senpai.' Thought, Kou.
The boys where coming back to take their things ready to leave but...
"Hoi! Is this (Name)-Chan? I never thought I will see her again swimming! That's our (Name)-Chan! Good job!"
These were some things that Nagisa was shouting to encourage her. With this loud voice of his.
But at the same time Makoto had a huge smile on his face, being happy to see his old friend inside the pool again having a great time.
"She got a new swimsuit... she looks like she is in her favorite environment... right Haru?"
Haru couldn't say a single word he just nodded he froze when she change the style she was swimming to free. He made a step closer, getting ready to unbutton his shirt again. But hopefully Makoto stopped him.
"Let her be Haru, okay? Now she got new equipment she can swim with us when the weather gets warmer anytime... ne?"
Haru's p.o.v.
I couldn't move when I saw her, It was better that I imagined. I can't even think how she is going to be in the sea, if Makoto thinks that this looks like her favorite environment, I want to see his face when we will swim to the ocean.
When I see her swim, she looks like a mermaid; all I want is swim with her.
Back to your p.o.v.
It felt a little embarrassing to have all these eyes staring at me, it was weird. So I decided that was enough for today, and got out of the pool, using my new towel to dry myself, I felt Haru's gaze on me, I looked back at him but he soon looked away. He is so cute! When I was satisfied with drying myself, I went to Mikoshiba-kun who talked with Kou-Chan.
"Ano... Since I didn't have my hair wet, (you used a swimming cap), I don't need a shower right away, so can you tell me where I can change? To my normal clothes?" I asked him with a smile.
"Ah! You can use the bathroom, but since we are a full boy's school it's a good idea to take Gou-Kun with you." I nodded and he showed me the toilet's direction. I took Kou's hand and we went there together while I was holding my sports bag.
When we were alone she told;
"(Name)-Senpai, you have amazing body" I got a little embarrassed.
"Ah...Thank you"
"Also don't mind my Oni-Chan, he is a good guy, but when he is not in the mood..."
"I can't say a thing, Kou-Chan. You have a really handsome big brother. But his aura has something...strange... like nothing is going to please him no matter what you do... but surely it can be my imagination."
I was inside the toilet-room now and Kou was exactly in front of my door while I said all these. The minute I got out, the toilet's next door also opened. And I froze on my feet. Rin was exactly next to me filing the entire place with that aura that I mention before... he obviously heard every single think I told about him.
"Oups" Whispered Kou... He was standing casually by my side just having his eyes on me, with a straight face.
"Domo!" I manage to say nervously.
"Again you are in places that you are not suppose to"
"What do you want? I'm just here to change in my damn clothes" He was getting in my nerves...
"Oi... calm down (Name)-Senpai..." She grabbed my arm lightly but hard enough to cool my mind...
"I'm sorry, Kou-Chan" I looked back at Rin. "I don't know what your problem is really... But please stop... bothering me, you are wasting my time"
"What did you just say?" Rin told the same time he was washing his hands. I look at him thru the mirror;
"Huh? That's what you told Nagisa before... Remember?"
Rin made an angry sound and left, I had won this round. Before he passed the door he said;
"We will meet again, (Name). See you, Gou!" and waved slightly...
I could tell that Kou was really confused...
"(Name)-Chan? Do you like my Oni-Chan?" Wait what?
"Hell no!"
"But that would explain everything..." Kou said lost in her thoughts...
"Wait Kou-Chan! I did say that he is handsome, I truly believe that, but no, just no... My heart is already elsewhere..."
"Well, we should get back or we will miss the train..." I added without thinking much.
In the way back, Kou, Nagisa, and Rei went to their stops so I was alone again with Haru, and Makoto.
I didn't get the smallest word from Haru, he just was standing next to Makoto... from now and then I caught him staring but not much... I felt confused...
Makoto asked me about Rin; now that I met him I had a personal opinion for him... He was strange that's all, he was not bad at all, I could see in Rin's eyes that he had passed thru a lot of stuff... something was bothering him that's for sure...but what?...
Haru offered himself to walk me home again; yesterday I was with Nagisa in the station so we didn't see each other. I don't know what we are now, but I would probably ruin everything after asking him. Makoto chose to take a different way for his home today, so we part ways.
I was alone with Haru, once again...
I saw the park that we had our first kiss, and somehow I felt so tired. I maybe overdo it with the swimming today... I felt so sleepy...
I begged him to stop just to rest for a couple of minutes...
He sat next to me, not too far...but not too close ether...
I got closer to him with soundless moves and slowly hugged his arm and rest my head on his shoulder... The sun was almost hidden... and the sky was dark orange... we could see the ocean from our spot. It was funny that we were all this time alone together without him saying a single word.
The hand of his, that I was hugging, was naturally touched up my leg, I could feel that his body was stiff. But he rested his head on mine too...
I slowly kissed his expose neck... and I could feel that his body was even more tensed. How cute... I rested again my head on his solder as before... I almost fell asleep...
"Ne... (Name)..."
"Hmmm..."
"I missed the way you swim."
His voice was so soft to my ears... and his scent... it's like smelling pine tree and mint.
"It's about time Haru, I almost believe that you were mute. I missed it too. I also missed the way you swim." I smiled remembering him in the water.
I wanted to kiss him so bad.
I placed one of my hands to his cheek, kissing him softly, but suddenly it hit me, I wanted a real kiss from him and now! Before I knew it, I felt his tongue licking my bottom lip asking for entrance. His other hand was on my waist. Without much thinking I opened my lips for him and let him explore every inch of my mouth. It felt so strange this kind of connection, but eventually it was my turn to explore him. He escaped a light moan inside my mouth from his surprise when I took action. After our tongues were dancing for quite some time. I felt his warm breath on me, when it became difficult for both off as to breath we pulled away while slowly opened our closed eyes.
It was almost dark but there was enough light for me o get lost in his ocean blue eyes...
His -no more completely cool- voice wakes me up from my dream;
"I should get you back; Hiroko Oba-San will be warred for you." I nodded.
We were in front of my house again; I gave him a light smile. After I checked our frond yard for my Oba-Chan, I kissed him in his nose leaving him there blushing.
"See you tomorrow, Haru-Chan."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well hope you like it, I don't know if the last part (you know what I mean) was cool enough.
But,Thank you all^^
