Rin's Friend (Rin Matsuoka x Reader)

Crossing Paths

A/n: this one will be shorter. I hope. Anyway, the next one will be my own scenario. Just because it's so bland that I'm just going to make my own. Enjoy!

After we finished our lunch, we started heading down the steps from the roof. Nagisa was ahead of the three of us and was hanging to the side on the steps railing.
"Hey, you guys heard about our old swimming club right? They lost the lease or something, and they're going to tear it down soon." Nagisa said as he went down the steps with his arms out like him pretending to fly. I was shocked. It was the first place the four of us met, it's a shame they lost the place. I saw a look of shock cross Haru's face and felt bad for him.

"So I was thinking," he started as he jumped down a step to the platform. "We should stop by before they do, for old times sake." He finished as he was facing us.
"I completely forgot about that." I said remembering what he meant.
"We have to go dig that up, don't we?" Mako said remembering as well.

"Exactly!" Nagisa said facing forward and his hands on his hips. "It's already closed, but we can sneak in under the cover of darkness." He said as he brought his hands up like claws. I giggled at how cute he was acting. I missed Nagisa cheering me up all the time, it was amusing to me to see him try to make me smile.
"You guys have fun with that. Count me out." Haru said walking down the steps. Nagisa looked shocked at his answer.
"Oh don't be like that Haru! Please come with us!" Nagisa whined. He walked up to Haru's face.
"I don't wanna go." Haru said looking away.
"You don't think it'll be fun!" Nagisa asked.
"Not even a little." Haru said. Nagisa groaned in dissatisfaction. Mako and me chuckled.

"I think you should just to humor him." Mako suggested. I smirked seeing Mako trying to persuade Haru.
"Give me one good reason!" Haru said annoyed.
"Well, we would have full access to an indoor pool." Mako said thinking that was a good enough reason. I saw Haru flinch and him grunt a little. That triggered it. Mako noticed this, too. "A pool that happens to be much bigger, than a bath tub." Mako finished winning the argument. I saw a glimmer of hope in Haru's eyes like it was Christmas.

After school had ended we went to Haru's house to get the things we needed. Nagisa was exploring while I sat on the ground looking around. Haru was cooking and Mako had just found the shovel.

"This place is so nice." Nagisa complemented opening one door. "How long have you been living here by yourself?" He asked aloud.
"Haru's mom didn't want him to change schools when his dad moved for work." Mako said holding the shovel. The two walked and stood on each side looking at what Haru was cooking.

"Mackerel again?" Mako asked dissatisfied.
"Nobody's forcing you to eat." Haru shot back. I chuckled and Mako gave me a small glare.
"Looks delicious! I remember you use to eat this stuff all the time." Nagisa recalled.
"Well he cooks it better than before." I told him. Nagisa laughed.
"I'll have to try it then." Nagisa proclaimed.

"So, uh, are you really sure about this whole thing?" Mako questioned awkwardly. Nagisa was shocked.
"What?! You were all for it a little while ago! Don't chicken out now!" Nagisa said trying to convince them to stay with the original plan. I looked at the ground and started thinking what Mako meant.
"I'm not, all I'm trying to say is it seems a little wrong it only the four of us." Mako said. I knew what he meant now. That we are going there without Rin.

"What else are we supposed to do? I mean, Rin's all the way in another country." Nagisa stated. I then remembered one time where I got hurt and Rin helped me.

*Flashback*

I was riding my bike, but went a little to fast and fell when I hit the brakes. I fell in front of Rin's house and started crying. I had big scrapes on my knees and they stung a lot. I looked at his door and saw Rin running towards me.
"What'd you (y/n)?!" He asked with concern in his voice. I was embarrassed so I looked down and kept crying from the pain. "Hey, can you look at me?" He asked quietly. I hesitantly lifted my head to look in his scarlet eyes. They showed kindness and worry at the same time. He smiled gently. "Don't try to move, okay? Wait here." He said running back to his house. I was still crying, but less and started sniffing.
