  Makoto looked down at Rin, his cheeks colored with a light blush. It really wasn’t something he was expecting. In fact, Makoto wasn’t sure how they’re topic turned out to be… this. 

Gulping as if the world depended on his answer, his green eyes averts away elsewhere, suddenly finding interest on a small flower that was growing. This was slightly embarrassing. The orca was simply not ready for it. He even kept it from Haruka, always chickening out before he can even utter a word.

"I…" he finally speaks, hands clenching into a fist as he tries to find the courage. He was sure bravery was hidden somewhere inside him. He just had to search really carefully… 

"I…" he begins again and this time, takes a deep breath. Wow, he really was taking this too seriously. 

"Mmm, I have someone  that always seem to tug at my heart…" he admitted. 

[schorck]

He was so easy to read. But also so readable that there were things Rin couldn't pick up on. Who was Makoto really interested in, and more importantly why was he not in the loop for this? Well to be fair it's not like the shark actively sought connections with the Haruka and the others, but still he wish he could have figured something like this out sooner. Actually thinking about this kind of stuff was pretty stupid, what was going on with him? 

As the orca finally spoke, Rin's eyes widened before his grip loosened on the others, "is that so..." he said with a sad voice. Wait.

Sad? Why the fuck would I be sad? Good fucking job for Makoto.

Clearing his throat he let go of the others hand, "So...erm what type of girl is she? She's gotta be pretty strong to be with you considering you're scared of a few ghosts." he said trying to sway away from a subject.

[schorck]

We just got the start wrong.

[tachibana-makoto]

  "Ah…" He laughed and brought his arm up, awkwardly running it through his hair. A laugh that matched the level of awkward soon followed, and he shrugged; his act was flawless. "I guess it’s still a force of habit to do, especially since we were so team oriented back then." For the team, Rin had even gone so far as to write on the brick he had laid down when they were in school.

"Don’t you remember? You were so obsessed with being the leader. I would say that Rin—" He stopped himself. ‘Rin-chan misses that part the most.’ His eyes flickered from the water to Rin and back again. This was what confused him the most. How did this person who was so loud and…he was completely opposite now. Sullen. He brought himself out of that state of mind with a curt laugh, daring to say ‘Rin-buchou’, followed by ‘Matsuoka-buchou’ out loud. "I must’ve sounded pretty silly saying that as a kid," he mused.

They both knew what they were saying, whether or not they knew what sort of effect it was having on the other party. Rin already knew that Makoto had a tendency to be careful with his words, and that he thought through everything he said, just as much as Makoto knew that Rin was a massive liar, and was putting up what he could only describe as a front. A facade, something to hide every aspect of his intentions. Though, of course, Makoto also knew that he was sort of doing the same thing, just not going so far as to change his personality. The problem here was the changed personality. He didn’t know why, just yet. All he could tell was that there was this rash part of Rin that wanted to burn as many bridges as possible as quickly as possible. Why though? Why? That’s what he couldn’t yet understand. 

He disregarded being lost to anyone, opting to look up at the sky at the mention of stars. “Maybe it’s because you’re a romantic-type and I’m not that I don’t understand your whimsical sayings, Rin-chan. There aren’t just a couple of stars in the sky, even if you force yourself to think that repeatedly. You’re just forcing things, at this point. Pushing so hard to be part of something that happens anyway.” Makoto sighed out and leaned forward, just enough to set everything he had with him on the sand. “It’s the same as saying that you didn’t want to be friends with everyone like we were in primary. You’re just trying so hard to fight what’s still there.”

[schorck]

What's still..."there...?" Rin spoke in barely a whisper for the last word as he felt a sigh escaping his lips. Makoto was right- everything was there right in front of him, ready to be repaired and to be put back together like a puzzle piece. Yet why was he so hesitant to reach out his hand? The shark took a knee and gently grabbed Makoto's arm pausing before he looked at the sky and then raised the arm into the air, "...If you outstretch your hand, then even at this angle you think you can reach the sky." 

The hand made a light swipe over the sky as if erasing a chalkboard, "But no matter what you're still miles and miles away from those bodies known as stars." crimson hues looked at the orca next to him sadly, "I can keep saying it a million different ways, but I don't really know the answer myself." he said with a sigh as he let go of Makoto's arm and took a seat next to him. "Do you know the real reason I quit swimming?" he really didn't care for an answer so Rin just continued, "After arriving at Australia, I realized that after hitting so many walls, that you guys were the reason I could go so far. It was because of you guys."

He still remembered every moment, the unsmiling and unchanging face of Haruka, the naive and noisy Nagisa that would run his mouth like a lawnmower, and Makoto, the quiet peacekeeper of the entire group. He could never forget the reason he was obsessed with being a leader. He wanted to surpass his father- more importantly he wanted to achieve what he couldn't have. 

Somehow that dream wasn't feeling as right as it used to. After his father had died a lot of questions were left unanswered, and perhaps fate wouldn't leave that unanswered as they kept throwing him and his friends against each other. His eyes meeting Makoto's again he paused before he said his next words, feeling it was more for Makoto's benefit than it was for himself. "You have a team now. No ones going to get lost and that's what makes you strong. You always have been. So stop being a rock, and just be you." Rin said as he held his gaze before transforming his expression to something soft, "And smile. Because you have all the reasons to." 

For reasons I have seem to forgotten.

  Easily pulling the other up, Makoto turned to look behind him, his green eyes staring into the darkness beyond. It wasn’t as scary as it was before, but it was still quite intimidating to walk in there alone. Clicking on the flashlight, he shines it between the trees, almost expecting some creature to be standing there, waiting to devour him. 

Makoto took a step forward, ready to go now but was stopped by a hand still firmly gripping onto his. Turning his head back to look at Rin, Makoto gives a curious look. “What’s wrong Rin?” 

“Do you…like someone at the moment?”

This was something he didn’t expect. At that moment, he wasn’t even sure how he should reply. His mouth parted and closed a few times; words simply not forming properly. Taking a moment to clear his head, Makoto scratches the back of his head and chuckles. 

"What’s with that question all of a sudden….? Besides, I didn’t think Rin was interested in  something like that." 

[schorck]

Was it too out of the blue? Was it ok to even ask something like that? Rin wasn't entirely sure if the choice he made to ask this question was proper in this situation, in fact it was kind of out of the blue. In a way then this was something he wanted to get off his chest, he wanted to clear this mix of emotions in his heart that was tending to dominate his mind nowadays. Sure the joint practices had been really the only way to connect with Makoto, but in reality- he could just reach out his hand to the others extending it to him. 

He just chose to look the other way in hopes that his dreams would lay in another hand. And in some ways the other hand just tied him in chains that he himself- allowed to be tied into. And he was tired of running. It was time to face the real part of his heart that had been hidden away. He wasn't about to be stupid twice.

Closing his eyes Rin gripped the orca's hand, a soft sigh leaving him, "Because I want to clear up this emotion in this so called heart you claim there to be. And I just want to make sure. So just answer the question- do you or do you not?" he said in soft yet a voice that was sprinkled with need.

Okay, one last before I sleep, another preview from the drama CD, this time with Rin and Nittori:

Nittori: Nittori’s Dorm Diary, April.

Today, Captain Mikoshiba told me that I’ll be sharing my dorm room. My new room mate is Matsuoka-senpai! He went to Australia as a transfer student to study swimming! I have seen Matsuoka-senpai swim in the competition when I was in elementary school, that time during the relay, he was really amazing! Being room mates with Matsuoka-senpai who I aspire to be like, makes me really happy that I’ve entered Samezuka swim club! It’ll be great if he can teach me a lot of things!

But there’s this problem… I wonder who’ll get to have the top or the bottom… Maybe because it’s senpai, he’d be the top, right… but the one who’d sleep on top would have to deal with the trouble of going up and down the ladder… It wouldn’t be good to make senpai deal with that kind of trouble… But it would feel like it’s disrespectful if I sleep on top of Matsuoka senpai… What should I do?!

Ah! M-Matsuoka-senpai! Starting today, I’ll be your room mate! I’m Nittori Aiichiro! Pleased to meet you!

Rin: Yeah…

Nittori: Uh… uhm…

Rin: What?

Nittori: U-uhm… M-Matsuoka senpai… t-top or bottom, w-which would you prefer?!

Rin: HUUUUUUUUUUUUUH?!

Nittori: N-no…I mean—… … top or bottom—…

Rin: Huh?! HUUUUUUH?!

Nittori: …t-the bed—…

Rin: A—..ah… Bottom.

Nittori: Okay!

Nittori: Matsuoka-senpai seems to prefer the bottom. The end!

//smooches your cheek " Did you miss me, or were you looking for something to bite? "

Sweetheart.

The shark thought to himself.

"Does missing someone and taking a bite out of them count?" the shark said with a laugh as he took Yang’s hand and lightly bit her index finger.

ooc; YANNNG BBY.

-lays on top of you-

"Wow excuse you…do I look like a human body pillow?" he says with a snort before flicking the others head.
