6. Secret Grouping

Makoto was right about Samezuka Academy being open. The boarding school was very huge, as well as having a gigantic indoor pool. The four boys do joint practices there with their friend, Rin. His little sister, Gou, belonged to the Iwatobi Swim Club as manager.

The group finally arrived at the front gates of the school.

"This is so huge..." Ai whispered.

"Looks so professional, even on the outside!" Miharu added.

"That's because this school is full of elite swimmers, especially our lovely Rin-chan!"

"Very nice of you, Nagisa-kun," Rei sighed. "Rin-san's very... He's very.."

"He's competitive." Haruka reminded Rei. Rival and friend, Haruka always wanted to swim with Rin again. He got his wish after swimming the relay with Rin. That excitement, that pure happiness that he's always wanted... All of that came back to him. Their old relay team reunited with tears of joy and laughter...

"Let's get going!" Miharu said. She held hands with Ai and led her towards the back entrance. Haruna and the others followed suit. Makoto went ahead of the group to take a quick look at the indoor pool. It was completely empty; the water stood still, the windows were clear and clean. Haruka, on the other hand, began stripping off his clothes. He revealed his black swim trunks with purple stripes painted along the legs.

"Haru-chan did it again..." Nagisa laughed nervously. Miharu and Ai looked at Haruka and just stood there and stared, amazed at his well-built body. Very slim and healthy... Nagisa, on the other hand, glanced at the two girls ad smirked. Haruna didn't pay attention to her friends, knowing that the two would always fall for guys with biceps like Haruka's. Makoto returned with a smile on his face, declaring that the pool's clear and no one's around. Even though he felt that it was bad to trespass, he knew that Rin would understand, a little.

The group headed inside, with Haru diving in first. He gently floated on his back, relaxing with his aquatic lover. His face was as calm as ever, and no one dared to bother him. Nagisa called out to everyone, saying that they should all have a race. Haruka was obviously not interested in Nagisa's games, so he continued to freely float around without a care in the world. Once again, Ai and Miharu stared not only at Haruka, but at Makoto as well. Very muscular and attractive indeed. Of course they couldn't take their eyes off of him. Haruna, on the other hand, blushed madly at him and looked away. She shielded her eyes from the "horror" that her eyes have caught sight of. It was so horrible to glare at it that I couldn't bare to stand next to him, Haruna thought. She only said that because Makoto's beauty was a "danger in her eyes" and that he would "kill her without any physical contact."

My heart jumped 30 feet into the air and fell down with a great crash. It felt as if he appeared to be the monster in my dream world. The monster that would chase me around and grab me whenever he had the chance. He's the perfect one. The perfect little monster...

"So, who's going first?!" Nagisa said. He didn't want to go first so that Ai or Miharu would end up volunteering instead. What about Haruna? Nagisa tought that Haruna swims just like Haruka, but he didn't know what other talent she has besides freestyle...

Haruna raised her hand and stepped forward to the edge of the diving board. She took her stance, got set, and jumped. Her arc looked very similar to Haruka's, and her dive reminded everyone else of a dolphin diving into the water. A baby dolphin looking for her big brother, everyone imagined. Rei was not only impressed, but attracted to Haruna's dive into the water. Beautiful, he would say under his breath. Haruna was already on the other side of the large pool, and returned swimming on her back. This amazed everyone, especailly Makoto. They had no clue that Haruna's also skillful at the backstroke. Her arms extended perfectly, repeating the pattern until she made it all the way back. Next was Ai, who freely dove in with her freestyle. Both Haruna and Ai are part of their school's swim team, being one of the best swimmers. Makoto helped Haruna out of the pool like he usually does with Haruka, and gently patted her on the back. Haruna looked up at Makoto and smiled. He blushed and returned her smile with his.
