The night after Makoto had almost drowned, Haru is awfully protective over him and doesn't leave his side. After giving it much thought, Makoto asks him why he is acting that way. Haru is then forced to fess up and tell his friend the truth - but it ends in a way that neither of them expected. MakoHaru fluff! I do not own the Free! Franchise, I'm just a typical fangirl showing my appreciation for my favourite characters! Credit to the creator of the image on my cover.

A MakoHaru Fanfic c: After Rin is threatened by his Homophobic parents that he should either chose Haru or Swim, the indecisive teenager ditches his boyfriend to continue his promising career as a competitive swimmer.

❝And at that moment, I swear we were eternal.❞ 〉〉〉 2015 COMPLETED

Haru is scared of his feelings towards Makoto, so he keeps them hidden. When Makoto finally opens Haru up and gets him to admit his love for him, things might finally turn out the way he's always dreamed, and he can finally be truly free. (I do not own the Free! franchise. This is just a fic I wrote to express my love for them. Also, the cover is courtesy of Pinterest so thanks!) p.s. there is some inappropriateness (I know, that isn't a word) which is why it's rated pg-13. Well, yaoi basically. Just thought I would warn you in case you aren't into that stuff, that way you don't have to read it and be shocked or anything. So enjoy!!
