Not An Ideal Place

Unfortunately, Sousuke did have to leave despite the amount of persuading Haruka provided. The brunette was reluctant of course but Haru's parents were beyond scary when they found Sousuke splayed out on their couch when they returned from their dinner out. If they had known what the two of them had been up to he was sure he'd be buried in their back garden. And he was sure Rin would have his head if he wasn't back for school in the morning. Haru and Sousuke texted continuously on the butterfly swimmers train home, Sousuke leaning his head gently against the stained window after Haru had hurriedly texted him goodnight with a huge sense of annoyance that his parents were acquiring his presence.

Sousuke was relieved that Haruka was more or less okay. It was clear his visit had been needed and he was glad he had made the eight-hour journey there. Seeing the ravenette curled into a ball moulding into his mattress was horrible. When those surprised ocean blue eyes had landed on his Sousuke couldn't help but notice how bloodshot they were. How much emotion had flowed from his eyes like his life was slowly being sucked from him. Sousuke creased his brow against the window only peaking up from his dream-like state when Samazuka's stop was echoed through the carriage.

It was well into the school day when Sousuke received a text from Haruka, having sent one early that morning. He didn't want to admit the creeping sadness that had weighed on his heart when he didn't receive a reply within the hour thinking that perhaps Haru had gone back to holding himself up in his room, weeping into his pillow. But Haru had promised that he wasn't going to and Sousuke forcefully distracted himself with his school work and had for a momentarily forgotten his worries concerning his blue-eyed boyfriend. The buzz of his phone quickly had the brunette remembering and he fished the device from his pocket, blearily listening to Momo as he prattled.

Haruka: Hey, sorry, parents confiscated my phone for the day. Turns out being friendly is very suspicious.

Sousuke snorted to himself and quickly typed out a reply.

It's cool. Well coming from you, of course, its suspicious.

Haruka: Rude.

Haruka: But true.

How was school? How come you're finished?

Haruka: No swim practice and unlike Iwatobi we finish at 1

WHAT! Unfair!

Haruka: Sucks to be you right now

Sousuke smiled to himself, despite it being a conversation between texts and it really didn't prove anything at all, but Haruka seemed upbeat, not the depressed mess the teal eyed teen had seen a couple days before. They exchanged a few more messages before the bell sounded and Sousuke was reluctant to say goodbye. Sousuke didn't check his phone until he was back in his room, rubbing the exhaustion from his eyes, not expecting Haruka to have messaged him. However, to his surprise, he had two unopened messages from the ravenette and Sousuke was quick to read them.

Haruka: I wish you were here.

Haruka: I can still feel where your body was pressed against mine.

Sousuke gulped, reading the message over several times, his throat drying in want. He let his tongue poke out and lick his lips before glancing at the redhead slumped on his bunk totally engrossed in his book.

As much as I'd love for this to continue I'm not with the right company.

Haruka: I can still hear your voice when you said my name
