I'll be [ SouRin || boyxboy ]

I'll be

Sousuke's POV :

I've been watching him.

There's something about him that draws me in.

Maybe it's those red hair of his that swings beautifully with the wind.
Or his smile that outshines the sun.
Or perhaps, those piercing eyes that send shiver down my spine.

Those eyes that I hate seeing with tears.

Rin and I have known each other for too long that everyone says we really understand each other even without the other saying what's on his mind.

I don't think so.

If it's true, then Rin shouldn't be still oblivious on my feelings for him.

But maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm just good at hiding it.

Or maybe, Rin is just deeply inlove with Nanase.

That good-for-nothing, Haruka Nanase.

Eversince Rin met him. He became so obsessed with the prick. He spends his free time asking the jerk for a swim race.

Our usual saturday hangouts suddenly became "time-to-ask-Nanase-for-another-race-and-beat-him day".

But he never wins.
And he always comes home crying on my shoulders about it.

And being the stupid person that I am, I just encourage him to train more and try again next time. Just to make him stop crying.

I hate it. I hate seeing tears on his face.

And I hate Nanase for being the reason behind it.

I decided to try swimming too. To be able to spend more time with Rin.

But for some reason, Rin's family decided that it will be better if he trains in Australia.

I was so devastated.
But we promised that we'll never forget each other.

And I held on to that promise.

* * *

I started training hard to be a good swimmer. Good enough to win and make Rin happy when he comes back to Japan.

I joined some competition and won. But an accident happened and I injured my shoulder.

* * *

Years passed and I lost contact with Rin.

When I heard about the news that Nanase and his gang are starting a swim club in their school, Iwatobi High, and are planning to join the relay competition, I decided to transfer to Samezuka High, the rival school of Iwatobi.

Fate must be on my side. Because Rin is attending this school too. And he's the new captain of the Samezuka swim team.
Without further ado, I joined their club.

Oh how I missed him.

* * *

I became friends with our kouhai and fellow teammates, Momotarou and Aichiiro.
They were simply adorable.
As the day goes by, I became closer to them.

Rin has changed though. Yes he's still obsessed on beating Nanase, but there's longing in his eyes. Longing for something I could not fanthom.

It made me jealous. Why can't I be good enough?!

* * *

We joined every relay competition and won. But my shoulder is at its limit.
But I can't stop now.
