Swim or Boring Future • Nanase Haruka

You can't walk.

That's the saddest fact, you are never able to walk since you are little. Cooped up in your wheelchair, but you don't ever feel sad.

It's not avoidable that at some point, you are jealous with other people, they could run and jump and do anything with their legs. It's normal in human nature to feel envy, after all we do sin everyday, even if we don't know it.

But you are not depressed like how all the disability child does in storybook, or fanfic if you should say. Why would you be sad if you have parents and friends that care about you? Why would you be sad if they still treated you like normal person?

A little bullying is normal. People will see you differently but that means they're not your friend or important in your life. In this world it not always filled with bullies or jerks or sluts, there are nice people too and thank God you are surrounded by the nice people.

You like sports. As crazy as it sounds, you want to play sports. You always watch soccer in TV or NBA or some Boxing matches. Sadly, they required a pair of functional legs.

You wheeled on your own around the neighborhood, it's fine to go alone because you are trained to do something on your own too, not ever single time everyone can be there for you.

Feeling the nice chilly afternoon breeze. Then your eyes caught a unique building. You know it was the Iwatobi swimming pool that formerly closed, but it's renewed and more neat.

You went in the building, it's never hurt anybody to be curious once in a while. The receptionist is nice enough to offer her help around the place, but you politely refuse because you want to see the place by yourself.

Then you see a big glass where you can see through. And in the other side of the glass is the big clean swimming pool that are filled with bunch of peoples, some of then children, and some of them adults.

Right on the spot, you are amazed by the view. You can feel their feelings pouring out. You can feel how they're working and playing at the same time. It's a nice energy.

But it'll be nice to go swim.

"Then go swim." A deep voice woke you from the daydream. You immediately searched for the source of the sound.

It's a boy, perhaps a college student. He has a pair of beautiful blue eyes and black looks-kinda-soft hair. You expect him to be the quiet type, so you wondered why he talked to you.

"Eh?" You replied.

"Go swim." He repeated.

"Are you blind?" You asked back, like he can see you are sitting in the wheelchair, if you want to play sports the sports you can do is either chess or pingpong.

He didn't look like he was joking, "You will going to be okay."

"I can't even stand!" You become annoyed. Is something wrong with his head, why is he so forceful?

"Aren't you tired just being in the wheelchair?" He asked. "You're going to be stuck there the whole life and do you want just being in the wheelchair will be a nice memory?"

You furrowed a brow. "Why do you care?"

He silenced. Either he doesn't bother to reply or he doesn't know how to reply.

"I don't need your pity." You said again.

"Pity is not what I give," He replied then went away.

You left there confused. What a strange man

"Eh? Haru?!" A tall young men dressed in swimsuit came out from the toilet.

When he saw you, he suddenly chuckled. "Ah.. It's you."

"Do I know you?" Obvious question of course.

"Nope," He replied. "But my friend always tells me you are the mermaid princess in his dream."

"No wonder he just approached you, I bet he asked you to swim, right?"
