Save Me From Myself

Chapter 1

A/n: Okay so people are either going to love me or hate me for this but I wrote it anyway. I'm not sure how many chapters this is going to have but I think it will be somewhere around five. I have ideas of what to write for once. I couldn't find many fanfictions with Ikuya in and he was my favourite character in high speed so I though, how better to show my love for this smol bean then to write a fanfic about him suffering? Also, I didn't want to tag any relationships in the tags as I don't think there will be any romantic relationships, I think this story is mainly going to revolve around Ikuya and Natsuya but it's not incest, I repeat it is NOT incest. They will not be in any romantic relationship, just two brothers learning to get along with each other or something like that. Anyway, any criticism is appreciated and I hope you all enjoy.

Breathe, Ikuya told himself once more. His breath was coming at a rapid pace and his head was spinning violently as his eyes followed the seconds hand on the clock. Tick, tock, tick, tock. The constant ticking only served as a reminder to Ikuya that when the bell rang, he couldn't just go home and curl up in bed, no, he had agreed to join the swim club and that meant he had to see Natsuya.

Why did I agree to join the swim club? Why did I do something so stupid? Ikuya mentally questioned himself. His head was spinning and he had long since given up on trying to concentrate on what the teacher was saying.

He was still lost in thought when the bell rung, making him jump slightly. His brain was still muddled up as he stood up, distractedly gathering his things and heading down to the pool.

"Everyone line up," Natsuya instructed the many people who were gathered around the pool.

Everyone replied with a 'Yes!' before doing as Natsuya had instructed.

"Today we've got some new club members. I'm sure the second and third years already know but there's a practice tournament with Sano middle school coming up. And then after there's a real tournament. the first years will also be participating so don't slack off." Natsuya began explaining.

"Yes!" Came the reply again.

"Now then these are the new first years. Now go on and introduce yourselves." Natsuya turned to the four boys stood next to him.

"Shiina Asahi, I'm a first year!" Asahi started enthusiastically

"Hey, we already know you're a first year." Natsuya cut in

"Ah! Uhmm...." Asahi stuttered as people giggled at his mistake.

"I moved here this spring. I went to an SC where I used to live and I'm good at butterfly. I plan to become even faster! Nice to meet you," Asahi finished, bowing as everyone clapped

How can he be so confident, Ikuya asked himself, staying silent when the attention turned to him.

Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic. He told himself over again, trying to keep his breathing even.

Don't panic. all you have to do is introduce yourself...

Ikuya's thoughts were cut short when Natsuya glanced over, noticing Ikuya's reluctance, he said

"Ikuya, introduce yourself,"

Ikuya looked down, repeating the same phrase, don't panic, over and over again as he introduced himself.

"I'm Kirishima Ikuya. I swim breaststroke," He was mumbling only, at that moment in time, all he really cared about was trying to calm down so that he didn't have a panic attack. there was a small ripple of applause however, Ikuya was convinced that he hadn't spoken clearly enough for people to hear.
