── .✦ island in the sun | rindou haitani x female reader
I am currently writing a longer fic for Rin and wrote this whole scene out that I'm not sure fits the vibe of the fic now...soooo it can be just a short little smutty Rin drabble or sneak peak depending on how the plot evolves ;) <3
summary: Rin can't control himself seeing your tan lines. Honestly this is very self indulgent
rating / warnings / tags: explicit sexual content, beach sex, quickie, rin has a thing for tan lines, from his POV
Okinawa was the closest thing the brothers had to a second home outside of Roppongi. Whenever they could disappear, they disappeared there. Ran had connections, knew someone with an obscene house that sat on a beach that was private enough that they could go days without seeing other life on the island.
The moment they got there it was like the world outside of the island ceased to exist. Vacation mode on, Ran lulled to sleep by the sound of crashing waves, her soaking up every ray of sunlight the world had to offer, Rin catching every wave he could, letting the salt water wash away his anxieties.
It was the most free Rin had felt in years.
He had gone into the water to clear his head and came out feeling refreshed, the sun already drying his shoulders by the time he reached the shore. He stood at the water's edge, shaking the excess water out of his hair, watching her stretched out on the beach exactly where he left her.
Five days in the Okinawa sun had deepened the color of her skin, leaving lighter strips where her bikini straps had been. He noticed them the day before and couldn’t stop thinking about them, something about the contrast on her skin had been driving him quietly insane.
He crouched beside her, trailing his fingers up the back of her thigh, going up over the curve of her ass, lightly dancing up her spine, before pressing a kiss into her shoulder.
“Having a nice nap?” he murmured against her skin.
She turned her head, eyeing him suspiciously, “What are you up to now?”
“Nothing.” He kissed her neck. “You’ve gotten so tan.”
She dropped her face back into her arms. “I’m busy relaxing, go back in the water.”
He trailed his fingers along the strap across her back, hooking his finger under, pulling it taut and letting it snap back against her skin.
“Rin!” She twisted to look at him, half laughing half annoyed, “What was that for?”
“No reason.” he was already untying the bow on her back, undoing it slowly while she tried to swat him away.
He flipped her over once he managed to get it undone, got her legs around his hips, trapping her underneath him while she fought to stifle her laughter, blinking up at him in the sun.
He was still wet, hair dripping onto her warm skin.
She wrinkled her nose. “Rin, you’re getting me wet–”
“God, I hope so.” he smirked.
She stared at him, then rolled her eyes, “What is wrong with you.”
He was already reaching up to push her bikini top aside. Uncovering the tan lines on her chest. The untouched skin meeting the warm afternoon light and something in him completely short circuited.
He groaned somewhat helplessly at the sight and heard her laugh under him.
“Rin–”
He ran his thumbs over her slowly, felt her nipples harden under his touch, the laughter dying in her throat as her breath caught and stuttered.
“God Rin, we’re outside–”
He bent down and licked across her nipple and she gasped hard.
“Oh my god, Rin–” she squirmed beneath his hold.
“Shhh.” He kissed across to the other side slowly. “Ran’s asleep.”
She tried to protest until he grazed his teeth over her forcing her to swallow the noise trying to escape her.
He kissed down her chest, her stomach, taking his time, the salt on her skin against his tongue, her stomach rising and falling faster under his mouth, breath getting shorter every second that passed.
He reached the waistband of her bikini bottoms and dipped his fingers under, pulling the fabric down enough to reveal the little pale patch of skin just below her tanned stomach,and pressed his lips there.
“Your tan lines drive me insane,” he said in between kisses.
He let his hand drift lower, over the fabric, fingers dancing lightly over her through the thin material.
“Rin.” Her voice was unsteady now, “what if someone sees.”
He kept his gaze locked onto her as he slid his thumb under the side of the fabric, pressing a slow circle directly against her. Her breath completely left her.
“No one will.” He cooed, keeping the pressure there, watching her try to keep still and quiet. “It’s a private beach and besides…we can be quick.” He grinned down at her.
She let out a small breathy laugh, her hips shifting against his hand wanting more. He moved his hand to pull her bottoms to the side, feeling just how worked up he’d already gotten her. He pushed his shorts down enough to free himself, stroking himself slowly while looking at her - spread out in front of him, bronzed and trembling slightly.
He rubbed against her slowly, until neither of them could stand it anymore, finally pressing into her.
“God,” she breathed and tipped her head back on the towel.
“Shhh.” He was smiling, held himself there watching her face, completely unbothered by how badly she was already squirming. “You’re gonna get us caught if you keep doing that”
She squinted at him ready to make a snarky remark but choked on her words as he pushed all the way into her at the same moment. Her back arched immediately, a sound escaping her she couldn’t catch in time.
“You’re such a di– ahhh–”
He pulled almost all the way out and snapped his hips back into her, watching her face contort, her words dissolving into mewls. “Sorry what was that, sweetheart?” He smirked and huffed a laugh, entirely too pleased with himself.
He stilled for just a moment, taking in the sight, dropping his head to her ear. “You have no idea,” he said quietly, “how fucking sexy you look right now.” He pulled back and drove his hips hard into her again, feeling her gasping on his neck.
She clenched around him and he had to stop speaking for a second, letting out a rough exhale. “Fuck, baby.” The sun on his back, the breeze cooling the water on his skin, her under him looking at him like that, it was almost too much.
He gripped her hip harder, pace quickening. She pulled him closer, one hand twisted in his damp hair, the other gripping his arm hard enough to leave marks, small helpless noises escaping her every time his hips moved against hers.
He could feel her getting close - her breathing was shallower, grip tightening in his hair. He trailed one hand down between their bodies, fingers finding her again and began pressing slow, steady patterns into her.
“Jesus, Rin–” her hips bucked under him.
She had nowhere to go. His weight holding her down while his hand never letting up. The desperate sounds she was making, the sight of her face, it all nearly undid him right there.
“Rin–” her voice cracked. “Rin rin rin please–”
He didn’t let up, “Come for me, baby”
Her back arched up hard, chest pressing into his, her whole body tightening as her orgasm tore through her, clenching around him so hard and suddenly that he lost the last thread of control he was holding onto.
He came with her, a groan tearing out of him as he buried his face into her neck, holding her tight through it - her body still trembling under his - until neither of them could move.
He slipped out of her slowly, glanced down between them and couldn’t help but laugh.
“What?” she asked, chest still heaving.
He was grinning, breathless, looking at the state of her. “I made a mess of you, again.”
She groaned and put her arm over her face, blocking out him and the sun, he laughed again leaning down to pepper kisses on her while she tried to not smile.
He pulled his shorts back up, then before she could fully process what was happening, he scooped her up and threw her over his shoulder.
“Rin– oh my god, Rin, no–”
“Cleanup time.”
“No Rin, it’s so cold–”
He carried her down to the water, laughing the whole way, her shrieking and kicking, failing to free herself before he jumped into the water.
She came up gasping, soaked, swatting at him. He caught both her wrists, still laughing and pulled her against him, kissing her.
“You’re so annoying,” she said, teasing.
“What can I say, you drive me wild.” He pushed her wet hair back from her face, thumb brushing her cheek, kissing her again. He pulled back, his voice losing all trace of teasing and held her face in both hands, “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy in my life.”
She went still for a second then smiled. “Me neither.”

stoner! rindou, who's great with his hands. weed is highly illegal in japan, so he's gotta be slick with it. he's a pro at rolling– he could roll you a perfect joint while walking if he had to.
stoner! rindou, who's room reeks of weed but you'll never smell a trace of it on him. he'll only ever smell like his soap because he'll shower and do his laundry frequently and always keep his stash in ziploc bags because no way he's about to go to jail for something as trivial as that.
stoner! rindou, who's down to hotbox his room with you any weeknight (much to ran’s annoyance– he can't stand the smell) while you lounge on his bed playing pvp shooters together and order takeout pizza. a quick run to the コンビニ (convenience store) halfway through the night for a few beers and you both end up crossfaded, laughing way too long about something that's not even funny but god is it fucking hilarious right now.
stoner! rindou, who under the influence is just a little bit too handsy with you because well shit, those clothes you borrowed to get a little more comfy when you watched that scary movie together earlier is making him feel a little... warmer than usual. you don't mind if he just… touches you a little? and can we turn the lights down just a bit?
stoner! rindou, who can't really keep his hands to himself anymore. one more hit, and he's undressing you hastily, pushing you down onto the mattress and mumbling something about fuck i have no condoms left but you're both too gone to care so you keep going anyway (bro u were literally at the convenience store...)
stoner! rindou, who's pulling you back against him so hard and fast, chasing after something that feels so far away and fuck does he mean every word when he says that pussy belongs to him
stoner! rindou, who might not remember everything in the morning (sorry lol) it's okay, though. your body snuggled up next to his is enough of a reminder that last night was EPICCC. besides, morning sex is the perfect cure for that killer hangover ;)
your body is stiff, back connected to the bed while your eyes shift side to side. you could only hear the sound of your breathing, a cold sweat breaking throughout your skin as your brain struggles to send signals to your limbs.
the room is a deep red — quiet aside from the whispers that chant around the area. the atmosphere is suffocating, resulting in your breathing to become erratic. there’s no light other than the moon shining through the window of the unfamiliar room.
you try to speak as dark figures slowly appear from below the surface of the bed. the entities lack any physical features, revealing them as humanoid abyssal creatures. your eyes widen as they surround you while a sudden pressure weighs your chest down. you try to speak or call out, but your vocal cords seem to be caught, trapping your voice from within your form.
the black shadows move upward until they stand over you, eight of them surrounding you as their eyes finally form, appearing as various bright shades of pigmented colors as they glow through the darkness.
your breath hitches as you feel something slithering up your leg, twisting around the limb as more of the tentacle shaped fabrics follow the rest of your limbs. red stitching reaches over you, the color switching to various shades of black, purple, pink, yellow, and more.
you release a suppressed noise from the back of your throat as the series of whispers become louder.
“tHeRe yOu aRe”
“sAtiAte thIss hUngEr”
“fEed intO mY sOul”
“yOu tAste liKe rEliEf”
“it hUrts”
“i’m sOo hUnGry”
“iT wAs inEvitAble”
“it’s alwAys bEen yOu”
over and over and over again, the encrypted melody sings throughout your ears like a sea — the waves engulfing your mind the louder they get.
it’s getting harder to breathe.
you need to get out of here.
the ribbons… they’re growing, slithering as they wrap tighter and tighter around your body and head, leaving only your eyes to peek through.
you feel smothered as you strain against the fabric, the tentacles above you splitting open into large and fleshy, deep holes of darkness.
and just before they reach you —
you shoot up from the bed, lips parted as you hyperventilate. your hand immediately grabs your chest as the nails of your free hand digs into the sheets you sit on. your stomach aches while you feel the rhythm of your heartbeat pump harshly.
your eyes are wide as you examine the bedroom. you notice the sun shining through the crack of the sheer white curtains, a pale light glowing throughout the gold and white theme of the room.
you shakily reach for the sweat on your forehead, the back of your hand pressed against the surface as you lean your head back. your breathing slows and your heart follows as you try to relax your nerves.
you realize that the nightmare was potentially sleep paralysis, which is something you have experienced before, though less intense than whatever that was.
when you remember last night’s events, your hand instinctively reaches for the symbol under your breasts. you could feel a large bandage wrapped around your ribs firmly. you barely remembered anything that happened seconds before you fell unconscious.
just as you were about to lie back down, the bedroom door clicked before the door swung open. standing in the doorway was a worried looking samil, the darkness under her eyes revealing the lack of sleep she endured.
“oh my god, y/n. you scared the living shit out of me last night,” she breathed out while walking deeper into the room, closer to where you sat.
“bro,” you paused before exhaling sharply, “what the fuck even happened?”
samil knew what you were referring to. after she took a seat in the black, furry beanie chair, she shrugged as she gave you a clueless look.
“i really don’t know. my mark has never done that before. neither has esther’s. our meeting was more exciting than anything else and all i felt was a few tingles here or there. all it did was glow temporarily so nothing too serious,” she shrugs.
“i’m just glad masao was there to help because i was really too drunk to deal with any of that alone.”
an eyebrow raises as you gave her a confused look. “who the hell is masao?”
her eyes perk up in recognition. “that’s right, you were unconscious. so, you know that guy with the wolf-cut we met outside, the one who promised you a drink?”
after hesitating for a moment to think, you nod in agreement.
“well he’s actually a certified medic. he helped me bring you home to our airbnb and cleaned the wound on your stomach. crazy right?”
your eyes widened. you were surprised to have found out that masao is a medic. considering his title, you wondered why he didn’t just take you to the hospital.
“jeez,” you exhaled.
“i know,” samil nods, “it was such a crazy first night for a vacation. he said you should probably rest for the rest of the day, but if we end up wanting to do anything to make sure we don’t do too much physically for your sake.”
you begin to bite the inside of your cheek instinctively. you were relieved that it didn’t completely ruin your two weeks of visiting japan. you still want to enjoy time with your friend during the various activities that caught your attention.
“we might just need to lay off the drinking and dancing for a few days,” she chuckles. “maybe that had something to do with it?”
you shrug. “i have no clue. so what’s next on our roster?”
you don’t feel as tired as you probably should after all the stress, but you know for sure that you don’t want to lay in bed all day considering the limited time you have in this country.
“well, since it’s a low effort day, i was feeling that maybe we could go shopping at that big ass mall i told you about on our way here and then catch something to eat for dinner,” samil responds, flipping her hair as she crossed a leg. “i already ate breakfast and it’s pretty late so if you wanna get something to eat beforehand since you slept throughout the morning we can.”
you nod slowly. “yeah sure, i’m down. i’ll just eat for dinner because i’m not really hungry.”
you just want to get your mind off of this soul bond issue and pretend like everything from last night, including the dream, didn’t happen.
just as you both get up to get ready, a familiar man with orange hair drives down the road from your airbnb the night before, just as he finished helping with your situation.
he drives with one hand on the wheel and his phone in the other with the screen pressed to his ear.
“she’s all fixed up and safe in that airbnb. i sent you the address,” he informs the person on the other line.
“good. by the way, mikey wants you at the meeting tonight, so meet us at the office soon,” kakucho says with a monotone voice.
“yes sir, i’ll be there soon,” masao says right before the executive ends the call.
the male hummed to himself as he turned the bluetooth on in his car. he was only slightly irritable considering he wanted to get back to his lover who must’ve been patiently waiting at home.
Ran might get himself a girl that matches his freak on napping for 11 hours, but Rindou will absolutely get the humorous girlfriend.
The first time he met you was in 🎀police station 🎀he was 12 and had just gotten arrested with his brother Ran, who was 13 then. You sat with the handcuffs on, kicking your feet looking around and being so calm it made him question how the hell were you so calm. You just turned 12, and it was a day before your birthday party. The moment you noticed the as the police officer let him and ran sit on one of the chairs opposite from you, you waved at him with a smile. The officer went to write the report, and you got up from your chair and walked to sit next to them. "Nice hair!" You told Ran, "That's not a wig, right?" Ran laughed, shaking his head, and Rin rolled his eyes at you. "Why are a kid like you doing here?" Rin asked, "Oh, I just wanted to know how handcuffs feel like that's why I busted the cops car window to get arrested." You said with a smile, "No shit, are you crazy?" Ran laughed. "Aren't you too little to be arrested?" Rin asked, and you shrugged, "I'm twelve, I'm actually twelve tomorrow and I'm having a birthday party, hey, wanna come to my birthday party?" You told Rin with a soft smile. He felt his cheeks burn, and then you turned to look at Ran, "if you want, I'll write you the address." Ran just laughed, "you're one crazy girl. Happy birthday, by the way." Rin sighed, "Happy birthday, whatever." You laughed, "Aww, thank you, I'm Y/n!" Ran turned his side to face you now because he thought you were interesting, "I'm Ran, and this is Rindou. My baby brother." You smiled in an aww. That was the last time Rin saw you.
Five years later; he saw you again. Rin had just gotten some serious job done and was heading back home, walking under the cold nights with snow all over the streets. His eyes on his phone screen; reading an email Ran sent him when someone sprinted past him. He didn't bother to look until he heard the footsteps stop, and someone called out his name, made him almost jump. "RINRIN?" He turned back ready to attack whoever called him with hands in front of him and his heart almost stopped when he saw a girl, no, he saw you waving as you ran towards him happily? You caught your breath as you stopped in front of him, titling your head to side, "it's me! Y/n! Remember me the girl from the police station? Oh, that's funny to say." He blinked a few times before speaking and looking at your clothes that were not warm at all. You were dressed in a white shirt and baggy jeans with a weird hat that looked too big for your head. "Yeah, I remember you. You weirdo, why are you dressed like that in the middle of December? Are you trying to die?" He asked, rolling his eyes as he took his heavy sweater off and threw it over you. Making you laugh as you removed the sweater from your head, revelling your smile that made his breath hitch. "I'm jogging trying to run a mile and trying to find out if I can define the cold." He sighed, taking his sweater from your hand and putting your hands in it, then the other, "Yeah, define the devil when you die from cold and get thrown in hell." You laughed at his words. You looked behind him, "Where's your brother? Does he still have his long hair? Wait, your hair kinda looks cool!" Rin rolled his eyes, "you still remember him too. You shouldn't be out at this time of night all alone. You don't know what type of people are out here." You shrugged, taking your phone out and snatched his from his hand, "I'll save my number in your phone, here call me so I can save yours." You handed him the phone and waited for him to call. He looked at him phone then back at you and called. Your face lights up when your phone rang, and you waved it at him with a giggle, "I'll see you soon. Bye bye" you said before walking the other way.
Rin would lie if he said he didn't wait a whole day for you to call. He kept checking his phone every other minute. It's been a whole day now, and you still haven't called. Maybe you didn't care. It was around 12 at night when his phone rang. He picked it up without looking at the name, "RIN RIN!" He sat from where he was sleeping on the bed. "Y/n?" You laughed at his question, "Duh, who else would it be?" He tried to hide his stupid smile even if you weren't there to see it, "Why you calling me this late?" He tried to sound annoyed, but you laughed again. "I couldn't sleep, saw a really scary movie now I'm regretting life and I can't even get up to pee what if the lady with white dress attacks me in the bathroom?" He chuckled at your words rolling his eyes. "And you want me to do what?" He replied. "Stay on the phone with me until I fall asleep!" You replied excitement in your voice, and he felt his face burning; don't couple do these kinds of things? He thought. Nevertheless, he didn't mind staying on the call as you rambled about random things. He could hear you trying hard to stay awake by the time it was 3 in the morning so he decided to be the one talking as you just replied in a hum, he talked in a low voice until he heard you snoring softly on the other side of the call. He chuckled, "idiot. Sleep well." He whispered before putting his phone beside him still on the call.
When you decided to return his sweater, he "forgot" to tell Ran that you were coming honestly he kept asking Ran if he has to be somewhere so when you'll arrive you won't see Ran. Rin wasn't jealous. He's just Rin. Ran heard the bell rang and went to answer the door, "Yes?" He asked when he saw you; at first, he didn't recognise you until you smiled, throwing your hands open, "Ran!" His eyes widened, and he smiled, "Oh shit, it's my favourite prisoner! Come here. " He pulled you up in a hug, and you laughed, "Oh, look at you all grown up. How did you?-, wait, RIN? Y/N IS HERE!" Rin tried to act unbothered when he saw his brother wrap you in a hug, "I met Rin last week, and I came by to return his sweater." Ran looked at his brother, wiggling his brows as you walked behind Ran, Rin rolled his eyes, "she was jogging in a shirt and jeans, " Rin stated. You handed him the bag that had his sweater, and it smelled like you. "So Rin has been gatekeeping you from me? And look at you, you look so beautiful now. You've grown so much!" Ran said, holding your hands as he sat on the couch, and you were standing in front of him. He nodded with a smile, "Your hair changed. It's black here. Looks so cool." You said pointing at his hair, "thanks Gorgeous." You snorted at his compliment, "stawppp, you're making me blush." Ran pulled you to the couch beside him, "come sit with me. How have you been?wow, I can't believe you look so beautiful." Rin groaned, "you said that like a million times since she got here. It's been a minute." You laughed at the two brothers. Ran pinched your cheek, "No more jail, ha?" You shook your head freeing yourself from his grip. "No, sir." You said. Rin watched from where he stood at you talking with his brother. He wanted you to talk to him and sit this close to him.
You'd often run into each other on your way, and you'd always cling to Rin's arm, and he really didn't get bothered by it.
Late night calls were a regular thing. Rin would always wait for you to call him and ramble.
Until one night, you didn't call, nor has he seen you for two days in a row. He was working on a file when the bell ran at 1 am, he thoughts it's probably some random person that will go away ringing the bell on a rainy night but it ran again and he was ready to deal with whoever it was flinging the door open just when he was about to shout. Rin's heart dropped at the sight of you in tears, and you looked distressed as you hugged him crying. He's never seen you cry, and his mind went blank the moment he saw you crying and a small bruise on your lip immediately anger filled his eyes as he shut the door moving you in with him. "Who did this to you?" He asked, and you cried, "my boyfriend hit me." Let's just say that "boyfriend" now ex, apparently lost an arm the next day.
That night, Rin didn't let you leave his sight as he made you change into much comfortable pyjamas of his that looked way too big on you. He even dried your hair after the shower. You were tired, so he let you sleep in his bed, covering you with all his soft blankets as he went back to grab his laptop to work on a file. He sat beside the bed working when you moved in your sleep, brows frowned, he placed his hand on yours hushing you softly and You grabbed his hand in sleep pulling it closer to your heart. Rin's eyes widened, and he flustered, but he also knew you probably needed comfort after whatever you bo-ex did.
Rin didn't want you to leave him or the house when you can be here, safe. And you got used to his care that you just clung on him EVERYWHERE he went; he really didn't mind. It took you a few days to go back to your normal self, joking around and making Rin smile at your words, but it KILLED him every time he'd see that scar under your mouth. He wanted to KILL your ex, but you've long moved on.
You two didn't even make it official that you two liked each other it just happened. None of you asked the other if you'd date each other, but Rin would break anyone's hand if they even looked at you.
One day, you were liying on his lap on the couch watching TV, and you turned to look at him, "Are you my boyfriend?" You asked, making his face turn different shades of red, but he tried to look confident and looked down at you, "Yes?" That came out shaky. You nodded and went back to watching the TV only to get off his lap and cuddle his arm beside him; oh, you loved holding his arm and placing your face on his shoulder. You'd find different positions to sit near him, and each one never fails to surprise him. You got up and sat on his lap, wrapping your arms around his middle part and snuggling into him or you'd sit upside down on the couch beside him to which he always grabs you and pulls you on his lap with your head on his chest. "Hushh, sit still. I'm trying to watch this." You'll always fall asleep in his arms he's just that comfortable to you.
You have to hug his arms every time you sleep. And he just stares at you with a smile, glad that he saw you that day in the police station.
He's only soft for you and does everything you want and deserve, which is not much because you barely ask him anything other than his skilled cooking.

prev chap.
MDI
On the way back, you and Rindou thought it would be nice to check out a few places before heading back.
After all this time, it's refreshing to finally catch up and share some laughs. It's about time you both had the chance to rekindle the bond you once shared. You've never felt so connected to him, and it brings you so much joy.
You're genuinely glad that you both ended up in the same room; it feels like destiny wanted you and Rin to reconnect.
As soon as you arrived to your shared room, Rindou's phone buzzes when he takes it off airplane mode.
He looks a bit puzzled seeing all the missed calls from Ran and some unfamiliar numbers.
"Rin? Is everything okay?" you ask, noticing the worry on his face. "Can you hold on for a sec? I need to make a quick call," he replies. You nod, and he heads to the kitchen.
Once he returned the missed calls, his phone slips from his hand and lands at his feet.
He suddenly feels dizzy, and a ringing in his ears makes it hard for him to breathe.
You hear the loud thud of the phone hitting the floor, which makes you rush to the kitchen.
There, you find a visibly shaken Rin.
When he turns to you, the fear on his face catches you off guard. You quickly rush to his side, catching him just before he falls. "Rin? Rin! What's wrong? Rin!"
[ At the hospital ]
A nurse approaches you both and says, "I'm sorry, but only family members and partners can go into the emergency room."
Rindou, clearly anxious, asks, "Where's my brother?"
The nurse replies, "Who? Is your brother a patient? What's his name?" She keeps firing questions at Rin, and you can see his frustration building.
You decide to step in and say, "Haitani Ran." The nurse then asks, "Are you a family member, sir?"
Rin answers, "He's my brother." You can feel his tension; he's just trying to make sure Ran is okay and not seriously hurt.
"Sir, please come with me. Your brother is in critical condition and is in the emergency room," the nurse says, giving you a quick look. "Are you a family member too?" she inquires.
You shake your head, "Uh, no. I'm just—" you pause, unsure how to explain your relationship with Ran. "A friend," you finally manage to say.
"Only family and partners of patients are allowed in the emergency room, so you'll need to wait here," she clarifies, and you simply nod in response.
You watch as the nurse and Rin race down the hallway, and before you know it, you've settled into one of the chairs in the waiting area.
Your mind is racing with countless thoughts. Why is this happening?
Tears start to fill your eyes, and soon enough, you're sobbing into your hands.
You keep telling yourself that you shouldn't feel this way about him. It shouldn't matter to you. You thought you had moved on from Ran, but somehow, he's back.
You were sure you didn't care at all, yet here you are, tears streaming down your face once more because of him.
>>
Rin trudges over to the waiting area, his feet dragging as he searches for you. Just a few hours earlier, he felt like his heart had been torn out.
Spotting you asleep in a chair, he lets out a sigh as he takes in your peaceful form.
As he approaches, he towers over you and notices your red, puffy eyes.
His gaze drops to your bare feet, and it hits him that in the rush to get to the hospital, neither of you thought to grab any of your belongings.
Taking a deep breath, Rin keeps his eyes locked on your face. He reaches into your jacket pocket and pulls out your car keys.
Before he heads out, he makes sure to ask the nurses to keep an eye on you while he's away. The nurse, aware of you and Rin's situation, nods in agreement.
On the drive back to the hot springs, Rin's grip on the steering wheel is loose and quiet, his mind swirling with countless thoughts and questions.
It doesn't take long for him to piece together why Ran is at this particular hospital.
It's the nearest one to the hot springs where you both were staying, and it dawns on him that Ran must have came to see you.
He had been holding it all in for so long, unsure of how to express himself, but now that he's alone, Rin can no longer contain his feelings.
Everything he's bottled up for years comes pouring out. He starts pounding on the steering wheel, tears streaming down his face as he struggles to keep the car under control.
Deep down, he understands that he has lost the battle he waged against his brother for your affection. He knows he never really had a chance.
It's you. It's Ran.
This conflict was lost long ago, and he can't believe he ever thought he could compete with his brother.
You and Ran might not realize it, but Rin has been quietly observing you both all along. Among everyone, he knows you both better than anyone else.
Is it time for him to throw in the towel? Should he just let him take you? Is this even a battle he still wants to fight?
He's feeling pretty lost right now, and his thoughts are all jumbled.
When Rin arrives at the hot springs, he starts putting his stuff back into his suitcase, along with yours.
He's uncertain about how long he'll be at the hospital; it could be a few days or even weeks.
He doesn't expect you to stick around, knowing you have work and your own life to get back to. But right now, he's not sure how to cope without you, at least until Ran wakes up.

You wake up to the sensation of someone fiddling near your feet.
As you glance around, you spot Rindou kneeling in front of you, gently touching your foot.
Feeling a bit puzzled, you sit up, but he doesn't even care to meet your eyes. Rin's gaze is fixed on your bruised and dirty feet, and a wave of guilt washes over him.
He pulls out a pair of shoes he picked up on his way back to the hospital, hoping he got the right size.
With care, he slides them onto your feet and then looks up at your swollen face, feeling a deep ache in his heart at the sight of you like this.
"If you're hungry, there's a cafeteria nearby, and if you want to shower, they gave me a room where you can do that," he says, his voice as gentle as ever.
"And... what about Ran?" you ask.
Rin hesitates for a moment.
It doesn't surprise him that your first thought is about his brother. He knows he shouldn't feel hurt, but he does. Still, he masks it with a warm smile.
"He'll be okay."
A rush of relief hits you, and you can finally take a deep breath after struggling to do so since you got the news about Ran.
Rin smiles at you, genuinely happy to see you feeling better. "Are you hungry?"
You nod. "Just a bit."
He gets up, offers you his hand, and for a moment, you hesitate before grasping it with yours.
>>
You know you shouldn't still be here, but somehow, you are.
You've got a ton of missed calls from Kakucho, probably wondering when you're coming back to work, but you can't bring yourself to leave Rin alone in this situation.
You let out a frustrated groan as you struggle to get the shower to work.
It's driving you crazy; you graduated at the top of your class, yet here you are, unable to figure out a simple shower in the hospital.
"Ugh!" you shout, feeling the frustration bubble up. Just then, you hear a knock on the door. "Y/n? You alright in there?"
"No! I can't get the hot water on for some reason. Can you please come in and help me?" you shout back.
Rin doesn't seem bothered. "Alright, I'm coming in," he replies, giving you a heads-up before entering.
He quickly looks down when he sees you're just in a towel with nothing on underneath.
He walks over and simply flips a switch, and suddenly, the water starts flowing. You feel so silly; it was that easy, and you couldn't figure it out.
Feeling a bit guilty that Rin is getting wet, you say, "Thanks, Rin, I'm good now. You can head out."
There's a pause, and he doesn't respond. When you glance up, you see he's practically soaked now.
"Rin?"
Your heart races as he leans against the wall, effectively pinning you between the shower wall and his body.
"Rin... Are you—" "Don't leave," he interrupts. "What?" you ask, taken aback by the sudden change in his tone. "Stay with me. Please... I need you."
You just stand there, completely stunned, unable to say a word and feeling a bit lost. You've never seen this side of Rin before, and honestly, you didn't even know it existed.
Both of you are in the shower, silent, wet, and your heart is racing so fast and loud that you're pretty sure he can hear it too.
You finally notice the redness under Rin's eyes. You can't tell if it's from the water or if he'd actually been crying.
His hair is drenched, and his shirt is so soaked that you can see the outline of his v-line and abs. It shouldn't, but it makes your cheeks flush a soft pink.
All you can think about is how worried you are. He must be feeling this way because of Ran and everything that's happened in the last few hours.
You know Rin would never hurt you, but this side of him is unfamiliar and it's making you anxious.
"Your clothes..." you say, reaching out, but he surprises you by grabbing your hand instead. "Rin..." His grip tightens, and in that moment, you're afraid to admit that this definitely isn't the same Rin you knew in school.
He's aware that he's being selfish. He knows you're only here for Ran, but for once, he wants to express that he needs you. He wants you to be there for him, not just for Ran.
His eyes are locked on yours, and it feels so weird that his gaze is giving you butterflies. This isn't right at all.
At this point, you and Rin might as well just take a shower together.
Wow, he's really close.
Rin's wet hair is hanging over his eyes, and you can't help but be captivated by the droplets sliding down his face.
He doesn't quite look like himself; his eyes, usually so bright and lively, seem almost lifeless right now.
You completely freeze when Rin leans down to your level, so close that you can feel his breath on your face. You grip your towel tightly. You're not scared, though.
It's Rin, after all; you'd never be afraid of him. But with him this close, any girl would feel lightheaded.
You've always had a thing for Ran, but that doesn't change the fact that Rin is just as good-looking as his older brother. In fact, you remember plenty of girls who actually preferred the younger Haitani.
It must be the water warming up because you're feeling a rush of heat right now. It's definitely the water, right?
You find yourself staring blankly at the other side of the shower wall as Rin gently rests his head on your shoulder.
You have no idea how much time has passed as you try to process the thought that he was just about to... But that's just silly. He doesn't see you that way.
Don't be ridiculous, you tell yourself.
Just as you're about to speak, he releases your hand and pulls away from the shower wall, turning his back to you.
"Sorry..." he mutters before walking out without uttering another word.
You're left standing there, completely bewildered.
What just happened?
Rin slumps against the door, resting his arms on his knees and bowing his head in disappointment.
He can't wrap his head around what just happened. He's ashamed of himself.
What must you think of him now? Are you finally going to walk away? He wouldn't hold it against you if you did.
He lets out a scoff at his silly thoughts, feeling pretty foolish as he realizes once again that you're not even here for him. It's Ran that's keeping you here.
Yet, there's still a flicker of hope that maybe you're here for him, too.
Just like he knows you've always wanted and needed his brother, can't he want and need you as well?
>>
You finished your shower about fifteen minutes ago and now you're sitting a bit awkwardly in front of Rin.
"Not hungry?" he asks, breaking the quiet. You snap back to reality as he finally speaks, "Rin... are you really okay?"
"I'm good. So, you're not eating?" he repeats. You decide to let it go for now; it's clear he's not in the mood to discuss it.
"Give this a try," he says, using his chopsticks to lift a piece of meat from his bento and placing it on top of your noodles. "Protein," he adds casually before returning to his own meal.
As you sit in silence, sharing a meal with Rin, a sense of helplessness overcomes you. You wish you could do something to support him, knowing he's likely battling his own inner turmoil, even if he doesn't show it.
It doesn't really surprise you, though. After what happened earlier, it's clear that Rin has a more vulnerable and softer side, just like anyone else.
The difference is, you don't know anyone else that's better at hiding it than Rin.
Now you can't help but think about what else he might be holding back all this time.
>>
You and Rin are out for a walk near the hospital, hoping the fresh air would help him open up a bit. But now that you're here, you're feeling a bit nervous about asking him anything he might not want to talk about.
"Remember that time you asked me to skip class because you forgot your homework and didn't want to get in trouble?" you say, chuckling a bit to ease the tension.
He raises an eyebrow and looks down at you. "That's not quite how I recall it," he replies. You stop in your tracks, frowning at his response.
"From what I remember, you were the one who forgot your homework and wanted me to skip class with you," he adds.
You pause for a moment, then smack your forehead as it hits you that he's right. How could you have mixed that up?
"Oh! That's right, I remember now. We still ended up in trouble for skipping class, though," you laugh. "We were pretty stupid back then."
He chuckles softly, keeping his hands warm in his pockets. "Yeah, we really were," he agrees.
"Especially you! You always followed me around like a lost puppy. Why would you stick with me when I got you into so much trouble?" you tease, crossing your arms before shoving an accusing finger in his face.
He glances at your finger and then smiles at you.
"If I could go back to our school days, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Those were the best times of my life," he says, and his words make your cheeks warm up.
"Oh... really?" you reply, pulling your finger back. "I see..." You slip your hands back into your hoodie pockets and kick a pebble as you walk quietly beside him. "You really are stupid," you mumble under your breath.
He hears you but doesn't respond.
You keep talking to yourself, completely unaware that Rin is just a few steps behind you.
When you finally turn around, you find him on the phone, his eyes wide as he glances your way.
You're feeling really confused and a bit worried about him.
You approach him, asking, "Rin?" Your concern grows as you notice his jaw slightly dropped, still staring at you. "What's going on? Is everything alright?"
"It's Ran." The moment you hear his name, your heart starts racing. "He's awake." You can hear the joy and relief in Rin's voice.
You both dash back to the hospital, which is only about five minutes away, but you're almost out of breath trying to keep up with Rindou.
He's always been way faster than you since school, and that hasn't changed.
You think you'll never catch up, but suddenly, Rin slows down and grabs your hand, helping you keep pace with him.
You gaze at your hands, entwined with Rin's, and all of a sudden, everything feels different.
The last time he held your hand like this, you were just sixteen, and back then, you felt nothing at all.
But now, as you look up at Rin's face while you both run, he seems so changed.
When you and Rin get to the hospital, the nurse instantly recognizes you both and guides you to one of the patient rooms. You take a deep breath as you step inside.
Just like every other time, when you see Ran, it feels like everything else fades away, and he's all you can focus on.
Ran has a bandage around his head, but when he spots his brother, he beams at Rin. "Came to check on me, little bro?"
"Where else would I be if not making sure you're not kicking the bucket?" Rin replies seriously, giving Ran a stern look.
They lock eyes for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Then Ran notices you, his eyes widening as you meet his all too familiar purple eyes. The same set you were in love with for all those damn years.
He can't believe you're really here. Confusion written all over his face.
"Y/n..." he says softly, still trying to wrap his head around your presence. "It's been forever. I didn't know you and Rin were still in touch."
Now Rin looks puzzled too, clearly questioning his brother's sanity.
"Uh, yeah..." you respond. "We kind of bumped into each other."
Ran nods slowly. "Got it." Then he chuckles to himself, leaving both you and Rin even more baffled. "And here I thought I'd get to see you tonight."
What on earth is happening? How hard did Ran actually hit his head in the accident?
"What do you mean?" Rin asks, clearly confused.
"We had a date tonight, Y/n."
Wait, what???
next chap.
more author’s notes : To clarify, in chapter one, Ran and reader went on a date that led to them being in the backseat of his car. There are a few more chapters that elaborate on this, but the "date" Ran has just mentioned specifically refers to that night. Also let’s all collectively agree how big of a green flag Rin is ᥫ᭡.
Hair-Pulling- I think Rin likes having his hair pulled, but more then that, I think he likes pulling your hair. Mostly too guide you, especially when you're sucking his cock and he wants you too take more of it down your throat. He really likes wrapping your hair around his fist so he can tug on it, you always make the prettiest sounds for him when you do. He really likes too pull it when you just got it done, you're not too pressed about it though, cause he'll pay too get redone.
Dirty Talk- Rin is absolutely filthy in bed when comes too whispering the nastiest shit in your ear. I think Rin likes the dirty too be an equal mixture of degradation and praise, or he'll use both at once and say the meanest compliments you've ever heard or he'll make degrading things sound sweet because he'll put "mine" in front of it. Rin is the only man that can make being called a slut sound romantic and he knows that, but he won't do it too often, it's only kept in the bedroom.
Controlled Orgasms- It's very heavily a dominating thing for him, but he also just likes too hear you whine from being so closed to the edge and all of a sudden he just stops and pulls away from you, or out of you, depending on what he's doing too you at the time. He also likes that you give him that kind of control and you do too because he always makes sure it's better then the last time and you never regret letting him do so, even if you do cry about it in the moment. You know he'll take care of you.
Threesomes- He's quite the possessive person and he doesn't share, the thought of bringing another person into your shared, private room has murderous thought racing through his head.. but, with his brother it's a little different. He trusts Ran, a lot, obviously because that's his brother and they've been through a lot together, and while it doesn't happen often, the only person that he would trust with you, besides himself of course, is Ran. Plus, watching Ran fuck you always has his head feeling cloudy and he thinks that you just look absolutely exquisite as you're brought to multiple orgasms in such a short period of time.
Phone Sex- He is very unfortunately away from you a lot, especially if we're talking about Bonten Rindou, he's a very busy man, but he's willing too have you in anyway that he can have you. Even if that means watching you fuck yourself to completion through the new expensive phone that he bought, specifically for occasions like this. While he would much rather be the one fucking his fingers in your warm cunt, he knows that his job is very high matinence and he always makes up for it when he comes back home to you.
