“The water was calling him. He ran along its banks, legs immediately taking the familiar paths that were well worn by his and Makoto’s years of play. He sprinted until he came to the great expanse of river that may have stolen his friend.
‘Did you take him!?’ he asked, voice heaving as he fought to catch his breath. 'Did you take Makoto?’
The gentle splash of the ebbing surf was his only answer. Haruka stepped forward, the water grasping at this toes. He tried again.
Haruka pressed forward, wading in until the water lapped about his waist. He prepared to try again, inhaling deeply to offer the greatest cry he could muster. But before he could utter another word, the current swept him off his feet and he found himself taking in water.”
-A MakoHaru Free! fanfic based loosely on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen”
