'Free'

"I thought I told you, I either swim free, or I don't swim at all." Haru's tone was stern. It was laced with disappointment.

"You can still swim free in the relay. Cmon, Haru. One last time before I leave for Australia!" Rin held out a hand. They stood in front of the tree in the yard of their school, handwritten messages on the bricks that nested the dirt that held the tree. Haru trusted Rin, even with his life. He reached his hand out and linked it with Rin's, lacing their fingers together.

"I promise, I'll be back before you know it, Haru. Once I come back, I'll never leave again! Then we can swim with each other forever!" Haru's eyes met Rin's, and Rin gave the boy a toothy grin.

"Fine, one last time." 

Liar...

It's been 5 years... 5 whole years, and Rin still hasn't returned. I'm beyond mad, I'm furious even. But... I still have this dream every night, and I can't seem to stop thinking about him. He hasn't even kept in contact with me, Makoto, or Nagisa. I want to forget him, but I just can't, I love him too much. I've forgotten about competitive swimming. What's the point when he won't be swimming next to me? Though I've never stayed away from the water, I need it. It feels nostalgic to dip myself into the liquid until my fingers prune. It reminds me of the times me and Rin used to stay until our whole bodies wrinkled. I miss him... so much... but let's face it... he's not coming back.

~(^v^)~ Completed ~(^v^)~ 1st place in the Makoto Tachibana category, Free! Watty Awards 2nd place in the Free! Category, Anime Watty Awards HEADCANNON: Rei always strived to perfection and beauty because his siblings, including twin are prodigies Ryugazaki Aoi, fifteen years of age, Samezuka swim team- first year, Strokes- Back and Butterfly. "Oh don't let us keep you Aoi" "What are you doing here?" "Stop showing off Aoi!" "Prissy prodigy you are." "I was handling it!" "You never care, you're too busy being the perfect little princess." "The cold rarely bothers Aoi anyway." Words from my brother. He has had a vendetta against me for years. It's best for me not to talk about it; only causes friction between people who are social with the two of us (not that that's many people, we're polar opposites in most situations) I am Ryugazaki Aoi, also known as Chouko, however if you call me that you'll never see the light of the next day. I'm a swimmer. Some say that the swimmers on the Samezuka team are robots, programmed to swim and swim and swim to get accomplishments for the school but let me be the first to say we're not. Especially my two closest friends Nitori Aiichirou and Matsuoka Rin, we have stories we honestly prefer not to share, in this school nobody likes to pry. Outside of Samezuka we're totally different people, Rin is hard and cold, Nito' is quiet and shy and I am outright stubborn yet sisterly and unfortunately that is what got me so close to Tachibana Makoto, my twin brother's swim captain and one of those people you want to spend time with even though you really shouldn't.

He once told me no one knows the real him.I didn't think he meant it, and not in a good way. He is a straight A student, and everyone knows it, not to mention he is on the swim team. All that though isn't the real him, the real him hides deep within himself. ---------- "Can you please tell me what that was?" I nearly shout at him. All I get is silence. He keeps his back to me. "Please, I need some explanation." I beg. I stay still as he stops dead in his tracks. His body is tense and it's scarring me. He turns around slowly to face me with his hands at his sides. His eyes meet mine, but there is no spark of any emotion in them. They are cold and dark making me look away not being able to hold his deadly stare. I feel uneasy under his gaze, and i feel his eyes burning a hole in the side of my face. "No, I won't explain because it's not important." He says in a low, almost, growl. I flinch and look back into his eyes. I feel hurt by his words and I don't know why, but I know he sees it in my eyes. His faces flashes with regret but it's quickly covered up with his faces going back to it's hard cold look. I feel my heart stop and my face go pale. His look terrified me making me hold my breath. "Breath." He orders. I start to breathe again and just blink at him. "Now go." He orders me again. I flinch involuntarily at his tone and jump back slightly. "Please don't let me walk home alone." I beg in a quiet voice, looking down at my feet. The next thing I see are his black combat boots right in front of my shoes. I look up into his eyes and he looks down into mine confusion written all over his face. "How come you aren't running yet?" He questions searching my eyes. "I just can't walk home alone, please I'm scared." I hear him chuckle. "You aren't afraid of me? What can possibly be scarier than me?" He asks. "Well, I know you will keep me safe." "Why is that?" He questions raising an eyebrow at me. "You haven't hurt me." "Yet." He mutters, but I roll my eyes.
