Nagisa and I put our hands on our knees and was gasping for air. That was a long distance the two of us had to run, not to mention we had to keep up with Rei. Mako and Haru were looking at the two of us with confusion.
"Did you two miss the train?" Haru questioned stoically. Mako put a hand on my back as I caught my breath. Nagisa looked up at the two with one eye shut.
"Hey Haru....Hey Mako." He said in between breaths. He looked to the right of Haru, and we both saw Rei walking up to the four of us. "Oh. Hey Rei." Rei walked up towards Haru and looked at him.
"Should I assume your their little buddy Haru?" He asked sternly. I tilted my head a little in confusion, but straightened myself up. Haru was giving him the same look Rei had.
"No, you shouldn't because I'm no ones little buddy." The two stared at each other before Nagisa broke the silence.
"Is everything alright?" Rei shifted his gaze towards Nagisa.
"If you're still interested, I'm willing to participate in your joint practice as a trial member." All of us were surprised by Rei's sudden change, but Nagisa was excited.
"Really!?" He asked hopefully. I looked at him with curiosity.
"But only on one condition." Rei fixed his glasses and looked back towards Nagisa. "I won't do any swimming." Mako looked very confused, but grateful at the same time. We all nodded and decided to meet with Gou and started heading to Samezuka. Well at least they can swim.
~Time skip~
We all stood at the front entrance to the pool at Samezuka, waiting for the captain to talk with us. I hid behind Mako because of the amount of people that were there and looked at the amazing pool. I looked at Gou and saw her fangirling at the boys muscles from Samezuka, and Iwatobi. I looked at Rei, and he seemed unimpressed. "Hey." The man from a few days ago walked up to us. "Thanks for coming out guys." He waved a little at us. We all looked at him and bowed, grateful he let us have a joint practice. "Cool. Your name is Haruka Nanase, right? Back in grade school you took home a lot of medals from district tournaments." The captain reminisced.
I looked over to the side and saw Nitori and Rin talking. Rin had just walked in and Nitori was holding a stopwatch. I saw him look over at us, but mainly towards Haru, who was clearly distracted by something else. I hid more behind Mako, but Gou had just seen Rin. "Oh Hey there Rin." She went over to him and stood near him. He had a look of annoyance on his face.
"Gou, what are you thinking bringing these guys here?" He told her. Nagisa noticed had walked in as well and went over to greet him.
"Hey Rin! After all this time, we're finally getting the chance to swim together again." Nagisa said happily holding a peace sign up. I smiled slightly, but Rin had a look of disinterest and scoffed.
"Swim together?" He made a 'tch' sound and started to walk away from us. "This is a complete waste of time." And he started to walk the other direction.
"What's with that Guys attitude?" Rei asked confused. I looked at him from behind Mako and stepped out next to him a little.
"Let's just say there's some history there." Mako wrapped up. Suddenly the Samezuka captain's loud voice caught our attention.
"To get the most out of our practice, you guys are going to be swimming against our first year students." He clapped his hands and looked at the two teams. "Okay, a good place to start would be individual time trials." He suddenly looked at the two of us. "You two, time for you guys to get suited up." I blushed and hid more behind Mako.
"Right, the thing is..." Rei was trying to explain until Nagisa jumped in.
"Can you believe it? They forgot to bring their swimsuits to swim practice." He said awkwardly. He rubbed the back of his neck and gave an innocent look.
"What? Why are they here if they're not prepared?" The captain said asked looking down. He opened his eyes and looked at us. "We'll let him use one of our spare suits for today. We may have a spare women's suit. But they have to change right now!" He said sternly. I blushed even more and hid, but Mako gave me a reassuring, but weary look. "Nitori. Front and center." Nitori stepped forward, but Nagisa was mumbling and trying to speak.
"Come with me please." He said to the two of us. He pointed to the door, but Rei seemed slightly surprised.
"Ok, but I'm not..." Rei was cut off by Nitori grabbing his arm and dragging him off, but I followed closely behind, giving them a weary look.
~Few minutes later~
Rei and I had changed, but I was so self conscious because I was the only girl swimmer, but they put Rei in a speedo. I mentally laughed, but I was hiding behind Haru, blushing harshly, watching Mako do his time trial. I was up after him and was really nervous. I haven't swam competitively in a while, like Haru. "We made a deal, and you're definitely not holding up your end of the bargain." Rei said tensely to Nagisa.
"Don't sweat it. Time trials are just practice. You're only competing against yourself, so you don't have to worry about being slow." Nagisa tried to clear over. I was focused on Mako getting ready to swim to actually pay attention to the rest of their conversation. I peeked out from behind Haru and watched curiously.
As Mako got halfway I went up to the platform and fixed my googles. I was feeling so much anxiety, but I looked up and saw Rin looking down at Haru, but when he looked at me, his eyes widened. I smirked and put my googles on getting into position. As Mako touched the wall, I waited for the signal. "Ready!" And the whistles blew, but I didn't hesitate to jump in. I was swimming so fast I almost forgot to turn. When I made it back it was Nagisa's turn and I pulled my self out of the pool. The captain blew the whistle and Nagisa went.
"(Y/n)! You did great! Are you sure you don't want to join the swim club?" Gou asked me happily. I gave her a nervous look, but Mako was talking to Rei.
"I told you I'm not..." Rei started, but was interrupted again.
"Come on next swimmer on the block!" The captain yelled. Rei looked at him then looked down, debating something. I walked up to him and smiled reassuringly.
"You'll do fine Rei." I said to him. He took a deep breath.
"What's the worse that could happen?" Mako asked kindly. Rei took his glasses of and put them down.
"Alright. I'm going. Okay?" He walked away towards the platform, but stopped in front of Haru. "I'll be fine." He said sternly before walking to the platform. I grabbed a towel and wrapped myself in it, but saw my phone flashing slightly, so I picked it up and saw Rin had texted me. I was going to check it later, but I looked at Rei and his perfect form. The whistle was blown and he was about to hit the water...
until he fell in.
"Wha?!?!" We all said at the same time. We watched and waited for him to swim up.
"So, uh, he's been down there for a while." Mako pointed out. Gou was about to say something, but Haru had already dived in with Nagisa's help. They both swam up with him coughing up a little water and panting. We all sighed in relief that he was okay.
