Series: Part 1 of run to the waves, feel it all wash away
Summary:
A splash sounds from his left, and Chiaki whips his head around, hoping to catch sight of some kind of tail slipping back beneath the water, any indication that there’s a school of fish nearby, just waiting for him to come and catch them.
There’s no fin, no tails, no glinting scales, but — Chiaki swears, for a moment, that he sees a glint of green eyes and blue hair. A fragment of a memory — the golden-orange sunset, coughing up half the sea from his lungs, lips pressed against his own, the taste of salt and ocean air on his tongue.
And then the sunlight reflects off of an incoming wave, near-blinding, and Chiaki can only think that he imagined it.
