Free to Dissapear (Iwatobi Swim Club) [Completed]

Part 13

The sun was setting and I was sitting next to Rin on the bus. I didn't ask where he was, because that's personal stuff I didn't want to get into. "I heard you had the best time on all of you're races! That's amazing!" He said to me. "Thanks." I said. The truth is, I was struggling to keep myself awake. When I got on the bus a wave or tiredness it me. I kept closing my eyes, then suddenly trying to keep them open. "If you're tired, you can sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there." Rin said to me. "Oh um, okay." I said. Then I leaned back in my seat. When my eyes were closed I could feel Rin lean me against him. To be honest it felt more comfortable. I fell asleep.

"Come on, wake up." I heard Rin say. I opened my eyes and saw people exiting the bus. I got up off of Rin and stood up. I got in the line to leave the bus and Rin was right behind me. We exited the bus and got our bags. Then we walked into the dorms. I walked with Rin because when I first came here, they were out if dorms in the girls block, so they put me in the boys one. I was right across the hall from Rin. Once I got back I flipped on my bed. But then I could hear my phone ring on the other side of the room. I groaned and got up. The call was from Gou. "Hello." I said. "Hibiki, have you seen Haru?" She asked me. "Not recently, why?" I asked. "We can't find him anywhere. He's not at his home, and he left the meet without us." She replied. "You need help finding him?" I asked. "Please!" She replied. "Fine, I'll help you find him. But this is for you, not the others." I then hung up the phone. I opened my dorm room door and closed it. I went out in swimsuit and all. Only because I knew I would need it. I then walked out of the dorm. I then kept walking until I got to where I needed to go. I walked inside and went to the pool. It was dark outside, but I could still see him floating in the water. I took off my tracksuit revealing my team suit. I then went over by the edge of the pool. "You're going to turn into a prune if you stay in here for any longer!" I yelled at him. He jolted up, surprised by the sudden voice. "H-Hibiki?" He asked surprised. I then sat on the edge and lowered myself into the water. "Gou called and said that the guys couldn't find you. I think they're at your house." I replied. His eyes widened. "Now that I've found you, I have question." I said to him. I then swam up to him. "Why did you cheer for me at my race?" I asked. "You mean you heard me?" He asked me. "Of course I did. But what surprised me the most is that you were the only one from Iwatobi cheering for me. Why is that?" I asked him. "The guys said we shouldn't cheer for you, because you're on a different team." He replied. "I don't think that's all." I replied. "I think I did something wrong, but I don't know what I did wrong. So now maybe they hate me." He did a little gasp. "But that's not the point, right now I'm here to tell you that the others are pretty worried about you. I then swam back to the edge of the pool. I then hopped out. "So you better come before they start to call the police." I said jokingly, I then extended my hand as a sign for him to get out. He stood there for a while, thinking. Then he swam over to me and took my hand. I then helped him out. We then put our track suits back on. We then left the building.

We were walking down the street to Haruka's home. It was silent until I remembered something. "I saw your race with Rin." I said. "You looked good out there." He didn't say anything, but instead kept walking. "He said shotgun to you before you got out. What was it?" I asked. He then stopped. "Why do you want to know?" He asked me. "You just seemed so shocked by it. If you tell me, I promise to keep it a secret." I replied. He then sighed. "He told me he would never swim with me again." He told me. I froze. Why? Why would Rin say something like that? "Thanks for telling me." I replied. "Let's keep moving, we need to get you home." I then started to walk. I could hear Haruka start to walk behind me. Pretty soon we got to his house. We looked at the door, and saw lights on inside. That meant someone was or is inside. Haruka went ahead and opened the door, me right behind him. When he opened it we saw Makato sleeping against the wall. "Makato?" We said together in different tones of voice. Haruka grabbed his phone out of Makato's hands. A green light was on, indicating he had a notification. Haruka opened his phone and played a new message. He held it up so I could hear too. "Haru-Chan, where are you right now?" It was Nagisa. "Please hurry home." Rin said. "We're all worried." "I'm sorry, Haruka-Sempai! I signed everyone up for the relay!" Gou said. That out a smile to my face. "Yeah! So let's swim together tommorow Haru-Chan." Nagisa said. "I'll be fine!" Rei said. "I'll have the theory memorized by tomorrow!" "Rei-Chan, that's a sure sign you'll fail!" Nagisa whined. "End of message." The phone said. "Told you they were worried." I replied. He looked at me with a shocked expression. I gave him the biggest smile that I could muster. Haruka looked lost in thought looking at Makato sleeping for a moment. Then Haruka went up to Makato and shook his shoulder. "Makato, Makato." He said. Makato then sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Haru?" He asked, apparently not noticing me. "We have a relay to swim right?" Haruka said. Makato gasped in surprise. "Well, I've clearly overstayed my welcome." I said Makato finally noticing me in the room. "I brought him back for you, so I'll be leaving." I then turned around and walked out the door. I then felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Haruka. "Thanks." He said. "Anytime." I replied with a smile. I then walked back to the dorm.
