The Depths of my Heart (Haruka x Reader)

Bonding

~ 2 month time skip~

Haru's POV

It was lunch time and I was in the hallway, not bothering to get an extra 45 minute practice.
"So you're really gonna ask her out?" I heard someone say to Sosuke... Sosuke... that guy is not good news. Anytime (y/n) wouldn't be around us, he would give me dirty looks or inaudible threats. I usually roll my eyes and walk away in response.
"Yeah man. She's the ideal trophy wife. Quiet, doesn't complain, and submissive." I heard him reply.
What the hell? This guy knows nothing about her... And how dare he think of her to be used as eye candy...
"BOO!" A female voice shouted and her finger poked my shoulder, sending me jumping...
"AAHH!" I clutched my chest, everyone looked over, some giggling. "Dammit, (y/n)."
"Haha, sorry Haru-chan." She hugged me.
I blushed, "I-its okay, but you gotta stop doing that."
"Aww, you're no fun." She pouted, which was really cute.
"Well anyway, we're having our first swim competition. It's in two m--"
"(Y/n)!" I watched Sosuke grab (y/n) by the hips and pull her into a hug. "I missed you."
"It's literally been 3 hours Sosuke." She giggled.
"I know but you're so amazing. Hey... I have a question to ask you..."
"Yeah?"
"I gotta go." I sighed, already knowing what he was going to ask, do you wanna be my girlfriend? My blood boiled at the thought.
"Hold on Haru, you weren't finished talking."
"It's not important..."
"Wait, I wanna know."
"He's probably right, it's not that important."
"O-oh.. okay." I heard the disappointment in her voice.

Your POV

I watched as Haru's figure retreated into the crowd. He's become so distant now, I only see him in the morning when he gives me a ride to school, first period, lunch (for a brief moment) and sometimes after school when I'm able to watch him practice.
The arms around my waist suddenly got tighter, "Oh, so what did you want to ask me?"
"Well, we're really close now and I'm really happy that's we're friends but I think I want to take a step further."
I was dumbfounded... "Uhh... O-oh! You mean like boyfriend, girlfriend status?"
He brought his head to my ear, "Yeah."
"Okay! Sure! I'd love to be your girlfriend!" I said with excitement. "I'll be honest with you, I've never had an official boyfriend."
"What? Nooo..."
"Yeah, haha." I laughed, shyly.
"That's why I'm here, babe." I could feel him smirk.
"Aww, thank you." I smiled.

After school

I walked to the pool with my new boyfriend, "Haru!"
He came out of the water and walked towards us, "Hi." He said, dryly.
"I'm getting a ride home from Sosuke today so don't wait around for me, okay."
He looked puzzled, "But we were suppose to go out to dinner."
"I have w-" I began but Sosuke cut me off.
"Leave that job to her boyfriend."
"Oh, this guy asked you out." He said with sarcasm in his voice.
"Yeah. Haru, are you okay?" I asked.
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know, you just seem so distant now." I raised my hand to touch his shoulder but he walked away and went back into the pool.
"Don't worry about me." Was his final reply.
"You heard him, let's go." Sosuke said and walked me to his car.
As we got there, he opened the door to a sleek, black and white Range Rover.
"Nice car." I said.
"Thanks." He smiled.
I helped myself get into the passengers side, he got in the driver's side and drove me home.

Haru's POV

I was sitting on the ledge of the pool.
Makoto sat down beside me, "Hey, Haru?"
"Hm?"
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing."
"You're not acting like yourself."
"How so?"
"Well for starters, you're not swimming the way you use to..." he lowered his voice a little, "Rei beat you in a race, that's obviously not a good sign man."
"It was just dumb luck."
"But not only that, you're more quiet than usual. It's kind of scary. You can tell me what's wrong, I'm your best friend."
"Well... that Sosuke guy is giving me bad vibes. I don't trust him one bit." I confessed.
"How so?"
"Well, he doesn't like me for starters. He brushes my shoulder really hard anytime we walk past each other. He acts like Mr. Perfect around (y/n) but when she's not looking, there's this evil aura surrounding him. And lastly, I heard him saying he wants (y/n) as a trophy wife..."
"Oh... wow, um Haru..."
"What?"
"Are you sure you're not jealous?"
"NO! What the hell dude, you don't believe me?"
"I do but I'm not saying this to offend you, it really seems like you're jealous."
The rest of the team walked over, "Yeah Haru, we noticed that whenever (y/n) is here you swim better and your mood is much higher." Rei said.
"I-I'm not jealous okay..." I broke down.
"But you do like her?" Gou rhetorically asked.
I blushed and looked away.
"Aww he does!" She squealed.
"Shut up." I retorted.
"Then why don't you ask her out?" Nagisa asked.
"Well because I don't know if she likes me in that way."
Makoto put a hand on my shoulder, "You won't know if you don't try." 
"And she's already taken..." I added, getting angry at the thought.
"WHAT!?" They all yelled at the same time.
"By that damn guy, Sosuke."
As soon I said his name, I could feel a sad aura surround all of us.
"It's alright man, it's probably just a phase." Makoto assured me. "Go home, get some rest."
I got up, "Bye guys."
"Bye, Haru!" They all waved.
I changed and headed to my car, then my phone suddenly rang. (Y/n).
I answered, "Hello?"
"Hey Haru, your mom asked for you to come home tonight. We're having dinner at my home."
"Oh, okay."
"See you at 7."
"Bye."
The call ended and I continued the walk to my car.
