A a few years later- Reader's POv

I was chilling in some cafe in town with my laptop trying to find something to watch while I munched on the food that was brought to me a few minutes ago. I kept switching between Netflix, YouTube, and the shows that I had downloaded in iTunes. Finally, I decided to watch, Free! Iwatobi Swim Club.

....Hey...Don't judge...

I couldn't help but get giddy as the episode began-especially when a certain captain who does the backstroke appeared in a wet suit named Tachibana Makoto entered.

The smile that was once on my face vanished. It wasn't because of the fact that the series was ending. Rather it was due to a certain raven haired male coming into my mind-And it didn't help that he shares the same name as my swimming bae.

I haven't heard from him in a couple years. The last time we spoke was when his ex attacked me. Even then we didn't really talk- just a brief encounter.

So many questions went through my mind. How is he doing? How had he been? How's his love life?

Just as the closing theme song ended, the chime of a bell rang, signaling that another customer had entered.

I didn't care who it was since it was probably some random stranger so I continued with watching the next episode. However, I couldn't help but notice that the footsteps of the stranger was walking towards me, until they reached my table.

"(F/N)?"

As it turned out, it wasn't a stranger at all. It was the boy who shattered my heart into a million pieces years ago. I looked up to see the familiar face of Hanamiya Makoto.

"Oh! It's been a long time." I said, as I offered him a simple smile, trying to be polite. He looked down at the seat in front of me, as if asking me if it was empty.

"Take a seat. No ones sitting there anyways." I gestured to the empty seat with my hand.

He sat down and called a waitress over. A waitress came soon enough and began to take Hanamiya's order.

"Is that all?" The waitress asked, scribbling stuff on her notebook. Hanamiya nodded, not bothering to form words with his mouth.

"By the way, you two seem like an adorable couple~!" The waitresses words captured my attention.

Couple...

That word.....I couldn't help but slightly flinch. I really didn't like that word...at all.

Before I could answer, Hanamiya beat me to it

"We're not a couple, baka." He said without even glancing at her.

...Great to see that he hasn't changed, I deadpanned.

The waitress seemed surprised at first but put the same fake smile back on. "Oh? Is that so? Sorry about that. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go get your food." She bowed her head politely, before heading back behind the counter to give the the new orders to the chef.

I watched as the waitress walked away, dropping off the order to the chef, only to then turn around and talk to her co-workers. I couldn't hear every word of their conversation, but I could guess the overall subject-and that happened to be Hanamiya- and there was no doubt in my mind that he can hear them as well.
