Black and White (Rin Matsuoka x fem!OC)

7.

At practice, I spotted Yamazaki easily. He was warming up and he looked really big compared to the other members, except for Makoto of course. But there was also a huge difference between them: their personalities. I slightly chuckled at my thoughts.
-Noah-chan!
-Hey Nagisa-kun. Wait, is that suffix ok?- I asked.
-It's fine, or you can just call me Nagisa. I don't mind.
I nodded.
-How was your lunch with Sousuke?- he asked.
-Uh...fine, I guess. We just ate really.
-He looked pretty nervous, I thought he was going to ask you to go out with him.
Going out? With him? I mean...nahh...
-I don't think he likes me like that.
-You're really nice, I can see him falling for you.
What?
-Line up!- yelled Rin,- you are going to practice in pairs today.
Thank Goodness we were interrupted.
Or not...
I had to practice with Yamazaki. Thanks Rin. Nagisa pushed me towards my new teammate playfully.

-Hey Yamazaki- I greeted him.
-You can call me Sousuke, there's no need for formalities- he said while stretching.
-Ok, call me Noah then.
-Is that a boy's name?
-Yes.
-It's funny that the Iwatobi guys have a girly name and then you come along with a boyish name.
-Who are the Iwatobi guys?
-Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa, Rei...
-Oh.
-They come from the same town: Iwatobi.
-Is it nice?
-It's small, but you should go there. They would be more than happy to take you with them.
-I'll keep that in mind.
-Noah...- he repeated- At least you didn't introduce yourself saying "My name might be boyish, but you can clearly see that I'm a girl"- he said chuckling.
What?
-Why would I say that?- I asked surprised when he changed his voice tone to a higher one.
-Rin said it, when he was a kid.
-Really?- I started laughing just at the thought of him saying that.
-He was as happy as Nagisa always is. I swear, he was smiling all the damn time, without apparent reason.
-And now, he keeps a straight face most of the time- I commented while watching Rin boss around.
-I can't get that phrase out of my mind- he said starting to laugh, I seconded him; suddenly we were a laughter mess, my stomach started to hurt while everyone was in the pool already staring at us.

-What's going on here?- said Rin with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
-Say it please- I begged with my arms around my stomach.
-Say what?
-"My name might be girly, but you can clearly see that I'm a boy"- said Sousuke trying to stop laughing.
Rin's cheeks got furiously red.
Nagisa and the others started to chuckled as well.
-Why the hell were you telling her that!- he exclaimed while we laughed our asses off.
-Go out and run around the pool 5 times- he ordered.
-What?- I said trying to stop.
-You heard me. NOW!
Sousuke stopped laughing for a second and gave me a hand to stand up again, I had collapsed to the floor.
-I guess we should have seen that coming- he said chuckling.
I put a hand on my mouth to stop the laughter to come out again and went to put my sneakers and clothes on. Sousuke opened the door for me, leaving an embarrassed redhead behind.

After we finished running, we came back and got in the pool, we practice for an hour and a half without saying any more remarks about the "girly name". Although, Sousuke and I couldn't looked into each other's eyes for the whole practice, or we would had snorted and bursted into laughter again.

Nanase and Makoto went for their usual run after practice, so I started walking home alone. Sousuke joined me and seconds later, Rin did the same while keeping a straight and scary face.
-Are you mad?- I asked.
-Yes.
-If it makes you feel better, at the end we were laughing without a reason really.
-Yeah, man. Don't take it so seriously- said Sousuke.
-But why did you have to do it in front of everyone?- he asked, hurt evident.
-I remembered that when Noah asked me to call her by her first name. She has a boyish name, so "My name might be girly, but you can clearly see that I'm a boy", popped in my head- he said grinning.
I put a hand over my mouth discretely. Rin rolled his eyes and punched Sousuke on the arm.
-Anyways, why are you acting like you're good friends? You met yesterday and you exchanged a couple of words only- he asked truly confused.
-We talked today, so we kinda bonded- said Sousuke.
-Like before practice?- asked Rin.
-Yeah, we had lunch together- I said.
-So Nagisa was right- Rin murmured.- Well, I'm glad you're getting along, but don't make fun of me.
-We won't- I said winking.
-We will- said Sousuke at the same time.
Rin rolled his eyes and punched Sousuke again.
