Free! Oneshots

All The World's A Stage-Rin

This is set at the end of Free! Eternal Summer.

This year had gone so quickly.

You were graduating soon from Iwatobi and had re-met the love of your life: Rin Matsuoka. The two of you had know each other since elementary school though he only confessed to you this year.

Since your days in Iwatobi were coming to an end you planned to go to college. You always wanted to become a/an (Profession) so you had to carry on studying. Your parents were very proud of you for getting into (School) as it wasn't easy to be accepted.

You knew Rin wanted to keep swimming and you were fine with that, as long as the two of you could stay together.

(A few weeks later)

You were in your room looking at brochures for (School). You knew it was a bit early but you wanted to know everything about it before starting there. Your phone started playing the Jaws theme next to you, so you knew Rin was calling. You picked it up and answered:

Rin: Hey (y/n) how are you?

You: Fine, you?

Rin: I'm good. If you're not busy right now can I come over?

You: Sure.

Rin: OK, see you in the next 10 minutes. I love you. Bye.

You: Love you too, bye.

You put down your phone and turned back to the stack of papers, sighing over how Rin never failed to tell you that he loved you every time you spoke. How sweet...

Ten minutes later the doorbell rang and you ran downstairs to get it.

After letting Rin in the two of you went up to your room and sat on your bed.

"Do you want anything?" You asked. He shook his head but you were hungry so you went to get some (Favourite snack) anyway. When you got back you shot him a playful glare to not take any.

"So what's up?" You asked before taking a bite of (Favourite snack).

"Nothing much..." Rin didn't look up at you when he answered, which bothered you a bit, but you decided to leave it.

The two of you continued talking though it was mostly you bringing you topics and him dismissing them with one word answers. It started to scare you a bit; Rin was usually talking about swimming or teasing you with a shark-like grin. Today he could barely meet your eyes and when he did you could sense a deep sadness in his magenta orbs. You finally decided to confront him.

"Rin what's wrong?"

No answer.

"I can tell something's bothering you, what is it?"

Again nothing. You were really worried.

"Y-you're not cheating on me are you?"

Rin shot up, wide eyed, after you said that.

"N-no! (y/n) how could you even think that I'm-"

"Because you haven't talked to me this entire time!"

"That's because ..."

"Because? Rin what the hell is it?!"

"I'm going back to Australia after this summer!"

You stayed silent for a while. Looking up at Rin you could tell he's as upset about as you are. But you decided that now wasn't the time to be down, you had to support him.

"You're going back to swim aren't you?"

He nodded, "My old coach offered me a place when I went there with Haru. I still don't know whether to accept or not though."

"Do it."

"But- "

"Just do it."

"But what about-"

"Rin, just do it! This is your future your talking about."

"But (y/n), you're my future. When I think of my future, I want you in it. I want you by my side always. I don't want to come back and find that you've moved on."

You sighed deeply, "But Rin, this has been your dream for as long as I've known you. You might go to Olympics one day; how can you pass that up?"

"(Y/n) listen to me, this may be my dream but your part of that dream now. If I leave then promise that we'll make it work. That we'll talk everyday and that you'll waiting for me when me I come back. Promise?"

"I promise." You nodded before leaning across to hug him. Pressed against his chest you whispered, "And promise that you'll train hard everyday and reach your dream. Promise?"

"Promise."
