ANIME IMAGINES

"A Sight I Have Never Seen Before"

You yawn once more, probably the 23rd time of the hour, stretching your arms under your desk to ease the contraction of your muscles. Monday was always a very very very boring day for you and here you were again, in your seat, figuring out what to do after class. You weren't fond of going home early since you had nothing interesting to do when you did anyway. You would often go to the park or watch the other clubs practice after school to take up your time before you go home.

Six more minutes before the bell rings and you still haven't decided what to do yet. You groan in frustration, aggressively pushing your pen continuously.

"Y/N-chan, you look like an angry mom." Nagisa suddenly appears in front of your desk while you were lost in your thoughts.

You turn to red-eyed boy with a frown. "That's mean, Nagisa-kun."

"Your pen's gonna break if you keep doing that." he chuckles, reminding you again that you had a classmate as angelic as him. "Why do you look like a bomb that's about to blow?"

"I just don't know what to do after class." you sigh, slumping back against your chair. Rei walks up to join the two of you. "The calligraphy club doesn't have any activities today and I don't want to go home early."

"How about you watch us practice then?" Rei suggests, grabbing a chair to sit beside Nagisa with a proud look on his face. "I'll show you my beautiful butterfly strokes!"

"The swimming club...?" you mutter in question, giving the idea a thought. You sit properly and face them. "Is it okay if I do? I won't disturb anything."

"Of course it is! Maybe you can help us promote the club too!" Nagisa grins enthusiastically and at the same time, the bell rings. "Oh? Class is over!"

"Let's get going then." Rei stands up to grab his bag and Nagisa does the same. They turn to you in sync. "Come on, L/N-san."

"I told you to call me Y/N." you reply before taking your backpack and following them outside the classroom.

Am I in heaven?

Your insides were squealing as your eyes wandered to look at the stripped off bodies of the four boys in front of you. Their individual physical structures defined that they were true athletes. They were wearing nothing but their swimming trunks, revealing their marvelous musculature that had you on the verge of fainting.

"Gou-chan, how on earth do you survive this every day?" you whisper to the girl standing beside you making her laugh.

"I know right? I'm blessed." she exaggerates a thankful sigh and the two of you laugh at how silly your conversation was.

"I heard the swimming club is really progressive." you told her, glancing at the boys who were currently being instructed by their coach. "You guys are going to participate in the Nationals, right? That's so cool."

"Mhm! It's a really great opportunity for us." she replies with a big smile on her face before turning to you. "By the way Y/N-chan, are you interested in swimming?"

"Me? Not really. But I do know how to swim." you answer. "Why?"

"It's nothing. I was just curious." she says. Coach Sasabe tells the boys to start practicing their own timings and they comply. Gou glances down at the notebook she was holding. "We have to do our best at the Nationals."
