Black and White (Rin Matsuoka x fem!OC)

18.

Next day I woke up to the sound of birds, I opened my eyes and saw Rin’s beautiful face. I touched his hair slightly, then I closed my eyes again with a smile on my face.

-Noah… Noah…- said Rin close to my ear.

-Hmm?

-Wake up.

-Shut up.

-Idiot.

-You’re the idiot- I mumbled.

I felt his arms pulling me closer to him. I didn't want to talk so I just rested my head in his chest and I let myself be embraced. Until I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me.

-Morning- he said.

-Morning.

-Did you sleep well?

-Yeah, you're comfy.

-Sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night.

-Don't worry about it.

We kept staring at each other, looking at every detail on our faces, until someone knocked at the door. Both of us jumped out of the bed.

-No, you stay there- whispered Rin.

-Take this blanket and put it in the mattress.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Rinrin?- asked his mom through the door.

-Answer the door- I whispered-yelled to him while I covered up with the blankets again to pretend being asleep.

I heard the door opening and they started to whisper something in japanese. Few seconds later the door closed again and Rin sighed.

-That was close- he said sitting on the edge of the bed.

I pulled down the covers.

-What did your mom say?

-She just wanted to know if we were going to go running before having breakfast.

-Oh.

-I said yes, so get moving. I’ll wait for you downstairs- said Rin going to the closet to get some joggers.

-Wait, what?- I said sitting up.

-You heard me.

-Rin, I don’t wanna run.

-If you want to swim, you have to.

-Rin…

-Noah stop being lazy.

-I’m not being lazy, I just don’t see the point of doing it. I'm not gonna compete as I told you before.

Rin slammed the closet door and went to the bed with fire on his eyes. He took my hand and pulled me close to him, my hands lay on his chest.

-Would you stop? You have the talent Noah, why are you wasting it? I know you don't want  to compete but you want to get better, don't you? You swim for yourself, yeah whatever, but you need to improve. You can't just stop training. And I don’t care if you don’t want to help yourself, I’m not gonna let you fall. So fucking gear up, now- he said before leaving the room.

My eyes widened, I couldn’t move. His eyes were buried in my mind, his voice, his words... I looked at my wrist and it was a bit red. What just happened?

I walked down the stairs few minutes later, and found Rin tying his hair in a small ponytail.

-Let’s go- he said when he looked at me.
