hcs: samezuka's fem!manager pt 2
characters: samezuka & iwatobi swim teams + siri ofc {slight y/n x sousuke}
samezuka's manager!y/n: as a second year
so! it's your second year as the swim team's manager (but you're a third year now)
right so rin for no reason at all drags you to his extra practice sessions, and that's where you meet kou
when the main desk tells her to find her brother at the pool, she enters to find him splashing at some random girl (hehe that's you)
you're both laughing at something he's said, she watches as you stand to hand him a water bottle and caution this dehydrated mess to not push himself too much
you're making a few minor modifications to uozumi's training regiment in the club room when kou asks rin about you
"who, (y/n)? haha yeah she followed me here"
bITCH-
N E WAYS so ofc kou misunderstands, so congrats now all of iwatobi swim knows you as rin's girlfriend
everyone is dying to meet you, neither you nor rin know why, and the meeting is set at the iwatobi swim club
you were curious about this haru character, who apparently had been your best friend's inspiration on more than one occasion
now, haru did strip the moment he saw water, but the entire iwatobi team jumped into some sort of practiced formation between him and the pool, fight stances and all, until he introduced himself to you and made some conversation
it's wasn't until tachibana said "you're doing great, haru" did you realise who he reminded you of, nitori
you almost adopted hazuki the moment you saw him
ryuugazaki was something else entirely - infact, he was the one to let the girlfriend thing slip
now the iwatobi boys + kou are mAD that y'all are just friends because they ship
when you get back to school, though...
ohhhhh your eyes have been opened
it's been a year since uozumi first approached you with the request to become samezuka's swim manager, so it's spring again, aka the boys are frightened as hell
mikoshiba hasn't left for hidaka uni yet
you're putting two and two together: it's time for the Spring Training from Hell
yeah this is why they were looking for a therapist manager
you underestimated seijuro mikoshiba's determination to make samezuka the bestestest team but he just sent you the training regiments and ohoholy shit you stand corrected
the team is practically dEAD after first day
iwashimizu's legs were so shaky mans fell back into the pool lmfaooo
you've never seen such raw terror in rin's eyes
uozumi has to literally crawl to the showers
sei seems to be pushing nakagawa especially hard, which you find a bit strange
poor thing accidentally waltzed into the girl's dormatories instead of the boys', where he got beat up some more
you're sure you'll have to put up shrine another next to riono's by the end of this training for mizutani, who is currently undergoing what seems to be multiple existential crises
yeah, only sei can come up w such a program
oh!! and riono has actually started coming to practices now you won't remove the shrine tho
it's a a bit difficult to see much improvement since they're exhausted and complaining all the time, but mikoshiba knows you might just kill him for torturing your boys uselessly
fourteen hellish practices later, all of you are finally at the station to see your former captain off cue the waterworks
the next day, you take the entire team to the hot springs as compensation for all the torture
congrats, your dead team has been revived
as they gradually return to their 100% after a few days, you are blown away
there's a drastic improvement in everyone, the new times are off the charts
ajajavsvajaks you're crying proud mom tears
when they see everyone's progress in the little charts you've made, the guys are overjoyed enough to crush you in a group hug
you allow it tHIS ONE TIME ONLY because they're actually wearing clothes lmfaooo
baby kazuki lets you ruffle his hair as he's going "what'll we do without you next year (y/n)???"
everything goes silent because technically you are a third year now, soo
you're glad they'll miss you but it's bringing!! the moment down!! "haha don't you worryyy i'll find the best manager in all of samezuka for you guys!"
"aw thanks!"
riono gets a smack for that by mizutani lolll "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SAY SHE'S THE BEST MANAGER SMARTASS"
his heart's in the right place 😌 his mind isn't though 😭😭
yeah you happen to catch a cold before school starts, aka the boys have personally come to put you under dorm-arrest
welp now you're standing face to face w the roommate (madoka) you haven't spoken to much + she has so many questions
"there was the guy that kept on asking if you wanted food, is that your boyfriend?"
"uozumi isn't my boyfriend," you tell her politely
"what about the one that kept offering you medicine, is he?"
"minami isn't my boyfriend either"
"there was one who cried like you were dying?"
"yeah i'm not dating rin either"
she asks why your entire entourage is hot guys
"oh, you're the swim manager? honestly i would've tried working at the club in town - iwatobi sc, have you heard of it? - but my dad works there and it'd be soooo weird yk" spoiler: her dad is coach sasabe
"really?? haha this is such a coincidence, i was trying to find someone who'd like to be our manager for next-"
you both freeze before slowly grinning
well, wasn't that lucky?
at the end of the next day, madoka stays back to help her chemistry teacher so you're not able to introduce the team
they've got their own surprise waiting, though, because-
"well, if we've got eight first years," you're telling captain matsuoka, "then i suppose the initial placement shouldn't take longer than two- holy fuck"
and from the showers enters possibly the finest man you've ever seen - ofc rin follows your line of sight before grinning evilly
"his name's sousuke yamazaki," he tells you, definitely mistaking your surprise, "he's got the perfect swimmer's physique, no?"
this is not real, he is not real, there is no way a literal god is on samezuka's swim team pls-
"(y/n), right?" he's holding out a hand for you to shake
you accept it, taking a cautious step back
ofc rin the dumbass decides to stick his nose into your business "you look red"
you could never commit homicide infront of nitori, but trust me that was the closest you'd ever gotten to it
"i-it's probably the cold i had yesterday"
he doesn't get the chance to reply to you though, because the three stooges mizutani, nakagawa and riono yell for you from the other side of the pool
you spot uozumi smacking them upside the head and decide it's time to intervene, waving rin and yamazaki goodbye
"we want to get to the national level, (y/n)" mizutani tells you
"and you're the only best trainor in this school for that" nakagawa adds nervously
kazuki smiles dryly from behind them, him an uozumi placing one hand on either of their heads as they force the three into a bow "try again"
"PLEASE HELP US IMPROVE (Y/N)"
"hohoooo this is the shit" you hear iwashimizu mutter
he promises to send you the video as hush money for bringing his phone into the pool area
you accept the boys' request, of course, and give them three days to write you a list of their goals - what they want to achieve to win nationals
cut to three days later, you've gotten a sheet that says
"the best breast stroke swimmer" from mizutani
"to beat the captain" from nakagawa
and finally, a... questionable? sketch of an ungodly muscular man from riono
yeah, you're not too surprised
it takes you some time, but you manage to whip out a near perfect training regiment for all three of them + one for rin (which he had to beg for, obviously)
you trust seijuro, both as a talented alum and a friend - he'd always had a talent for finding talent, if that made sense - and the way he pushed nakagawa, mizutani, and riono during the training, he must've known they could get to nationals
the regiment is definitely hard, and there's a lot of groans and sighs
you clipboard them, of course
it seems to be a year of miracles, though, because there isn't a word of complaint from anyone after that
also did i mention rin literally has no idea how to Captain™
this poor bby does end up getting the confidence for it after a month or two, but after abandoning the sport entirely for a year back in australia, he doesn't think he deserves the title
"uhhh (y/n), do you mind if i use the pool tonight? it's just that there's someone i'm trying to teach a few strokes, so would it be alright?"
you're a dramatic bitch lmaoo so obviously "you're teaching?? someone else?? i thought that was our thing???? 👉👈"
you're 100% gonna go eavesdrop a lil once you realise the new student is ryuugazaki
"rin matsuoka, we don't have a coach, you are literally the person everyone else should be asking permission from"
"o-oh"
so you're studying in your room for an upcoming physics test one day when rin bursts into your room
"(y/n)! what're you doing, idiot, don't you wanna help me practice?"
you apologise to him - the test has been stressing you out quite a bit so you're studying for your own peace of mind and confidence. "swim isn't the only part of my day" you mention jokingly, but that's when it gets into rin's head
yeah, he loves swimming, but you'd only just joined the team a year ago and he realises that after this year, he won't be seeing you as often as he does now
that doesn't sit right w him
you've been by his side all through last year, helping without even knowing it, you were there to guide him through his captain duties, all of it
how can it all just...fall apart? what is this strange feeling in his stomach whenever he thinks of you guys parting for uni?? he'd known this was coming ffs
"when you've given your test," he finds himself saying, voice much lower than he expects, "do you wanna go see a movie or something?"
you chuck your pen at him, confused at the sudden...somberness
"ofc i'll go, quit being all serious like that, you look constipated" he smiles at you then - softly - and heat rushes to your face in embarrassment "and get me my pen back" you mutter
"aw, you're cute when you're like this, (y/n)"
way to ruin the Moment rin-chan
"you're cute when your mouth is shut" you retort, turning back to your notes
the door doesn't stay shut for long after rin's left
"(y/n)?"
you're deadass cHOKING "y-yamazaki!"
"uhhh i was going to ask if you had time to check nitori's regimen for me, but you seem busy"
why is adonis in your room holy shit holy shit holy sHIT-
you clear your throat, glancing down at the weapon pen in your hand
leave it to school to mess up your love life
you're literally shaking as he crosses the doorway to your desk, looking over your shoulder at the notes
"oh, sorry, i thought it was something related to the club - rin mentioned you were working on a regimen for him, so"
you chuckle nervously - dammit he's too close - "yeah no, just getting my ass kicked by physics"
"i can help with physics" sousuke offers
mans almost clamps his mouth shut - why did he say that????
yes you were looking all adorable rn and if that t-shirt slipped any more he'd probably have a stro-
sousuke shakes his head to dispel the weird thoughts - you're rin's best friend, after all, shark boy would murder yamazaki in two secs flat
you're still staring at him, he notices, eyes a bit blown and your mouth parted
sousuke doesn't know much about you, other than as the hard-working manager the entire team considers godsent
he thinks he'd like to though -- he's always been attracted to passionate people, and you've done so much for his friends
yeah, not helping
"...will you really?" you're asking
he finds himself nodding before he can truly think of the consequences
you spend the day with sousuke as he guides you through the problems with more patience and skill than you'd initially credited him with
yeah, it's weird and exciting to have someone other than madoka and rin in your dorm, especially mr sex on legs here, but it's also oddly...intimate?
you never noticed before, but when you're not too busy staring, yamazaki's presence is extremely calming
you feel your tension about the test melt away as you listen to him (trying to) crack physics jokes to help you remember the material (they're terrible, but he's stuttering and utterly embarrassed, so you're laughing for his sake)
once your test is over, as promised, you take rin out to dinner to your favorite street food place
y'all break into visit iwatobi sc after - which in hindsight, was a mistake
his jovial personality dissipated the moment you jumped through the windows walked through the doors, with you having to elbow him to break whatever stupor he was under
it's like you're on the bus back from nationals last year, you're sensing that same vulnerability from him, as if he wants to spill but is holding back
he folds up his jeans legs and digs his feet into the water, with you following suit
you rest your head on his shoulder "what're you all mopey for? i'm the one who probably just failed a test"
the silence is deafening in the moments before he speaks "you know i used to swim here with haru and the guys, right?"
"mhm" ohoho here it comes
"but i went to australia, and..."
ohhhh so that's what this is about
you scoot away from rin to turn towards him, eyes set in determination "that isn't going to happen again, rin. you arent a quitter. the fact that you're even swimming at all proves it. haru, tachibana, sousuke, me- we're all so proud of you for going after what you love. you're smarter than you were then, and besides, if you return all emo and rude i will personally take responsibility to whip you back into shape"
ok in his defense, he tried, but it's rin after all, he's sobbing
he flicks your forehead before habitually bringing down his cap to shield his eyes from your vision
"it's not a bad thing to dedicate yourself to your goal, rin" you mention offhandedly, laying back on your elbows with your feet still in the freezing water, "but you gotta know that your friends will always be here. so you go on ahead and chase that dream, kay?"
he sniffles, glancing down at the water before turning to you with a large, teary grin "i will"
since samezuka has a two-day break coming up, and so does iwatobi, you and nagisa plan a movie night for both teams
the invitations are all sent, the day has come, the snacks are here, there's enough seating, and the blankets and comforters are set
it's rin, uozumi, minami, nitori, momo and riono from samezuka + the iwatobi team (at Haru's place after a little mackerel bribe) and everything's perfect, minus one lil problem: no one chose a movie
right off the bat ryuugazaki suggests a documentary, to which minami eagerly nods, adding, "i just watched one on bioluminescent algae and their affect on the-"
poor bby stops short at nagisa's horrified expression
riono raises his hand this dork "how about a marvel movie?"
"THEY KILLED TONY HOW ABOUT NO??" (that's momo)
nagisa grabs his chance "horror?"
kou shrieks
oh wait no, that was tachibana
let the games begin it's an all out war, tachibana is challenging nagisa to a game of rock paper scissors, ryuugazaki is cutting little voting ballots like the cute lawful good child he is
you're sitting in the midst of the chaos, with your back against the couch
sousuke, on the couch behind you, taps your shoulder before pointing towards haru
only then do you notice rin instigating ryuugazaki and nagisa's argument as a distraction as haru puts on a-
oh.
the boys settle down as a romantic comedy opens
the movie's a modern hades x peresphone retelling, where peresphone is a college student who recieves a a marriage proposal from the god of the underworld
sousuke is correcting all the greek mythology the movie gets wrong
and accidentally spoils some of the plot oof
nagisa has tried (and failed) several times to choke the aforementioned swimmer
there's a scene where peresphone is teaching her fiance the art of grocery shopping, and haru (has the remote) pauses and rewinds it for an entire half hour to try and find mackerel in the seafood section
momo ends up jumping haru for the remote
is also terrible with it, he's either got the volume horrifically high or a pitch below human hearing
you clipboard him obviously, and as it goes flying, ryuugazaki catches the remote
he's normal, thankfully
sousuke is about to spoil comment on the plot twist when he glances at the group - everyone is... asleep??
nitori is squished between him and rin, with rin and tachibana flanking haru. uozumi is sprawled across the floor with minami, both of them starfishing. ryuugazaki sits at tachibana's feet on the ground with nagisa snoring on his shoulder. nakagawa is curled up on the floor with his hands under his head aww
swimmer boi's breath catches when he sees you passed out, your back against his legs with your head resting in his lap -- your hand lays on the shoulder of your adorable beetle-raising kouhai, who's snoring away softly in your lap
shit shit shit he's a secret physics nerd but physics class didn't teach him how to Girls
he's 100% unprepared for the way you smile in your sleep and 100% freaking out
yeah knowing you you're probably dreaming of clipboarding someone, but that grin is driving him inSANE
sousuke can't help but almost coo you back to sleep when you stir - and he takes some pics of everyone as well, to send on the group as blackmail material he's such a tsundere ajgajabasvs
he's literally terrified at the thought of accidentally waking you up, and the ground is soft enough, but...
when you wake up and find yourself all comfy on the couch and he's on the floor, he tells you that in your sleepy state, you requested to switch spots as it was getting uncomfortable
lmfaoooo this ain't an exposé i won't be doing my boy sousuke dirty like that but look at you being all oblivious 😌😌
yeah movie nights with iwatobi are a monthly thing now
ever since he aCciDeNtAly sent you guys his schedule, facetiming sei whenever he's free is a part of your routine, he prefers it if it's you calling him while the guys practice
being there during samezuka's practice, even digitally, makes sei so nostalgic and he gets this really s o f t smile it's actually adorable
walking siri (minami's huge cuddly doggie) is a daily ritual, the entire teams walks around the campus in the evening with him no matter what
you're able to introduce madoka to the team about halfway through the year, poor thing was so intimidated in the beginning - she overcomes it quicker than you did, though, mostly because she sees how dorky they are with you
also the boys' training is coming along great, their times are improving faster than you'd imagined - you're celebrating nitori's new time in fact, he's just broken iwashimizu's record when rin enters with the results
nakagawa (freestyle), mizutani (breaststroke), riono (freestyle), rin (freestyle), and minami (butterfly) have all made it in their individual strokes, with momo, nitori, rin and sousuke for medley relay
all four of you - riono, mizutani, nakagawa and you - are silent as everyone applauds
your eyes are tearing up as you remember all the hard work your idiots put in, the late practices, the strict menus, the exercise routines, how they went around taking advice from you, from rin, from coach sasabe...and their gradual but well deserved improvements
ok but you literally would've been pancaked when riono (5"11'), nakagawa (5"10') and mizutani (5"11') pounced on you for a group hug had sousuke (6"1') not been in the way 😌
regionals arrive before you know it, and the next thing you know, iwashimizu is pushing you into the seat next to sousuke on the bus
(nitori called dibs on rin, he's still mad you sat with him last tournament 😭😭)
also did this mans sousuke just...flinch? when you smiled at him??
he's back to his regular form in no time, quick enough for you to doubt you'd seen anything at all - wait, huh? you've been working with athletes who have to keep their bodies in pristine condition for about two years now, you've taken sports med classes, so it's near impossible for you to miss it
"dont slouch" you reprimand, causing the flustered third year to straighten up, alarmed - yeah. that does it for you, he definitely wasn't slouching, it's more like...it's more like his body tended to lean towards his right, almost as if he'd tried not to pressure his left side long enough for it to become a subconscious habit
you remember rin mentioning something about sousuke skipping practice, too
the team jumps into the practice pool, and its events don't exactly do much to calm you
rin is giving you a look you don't even need to decipher - there's something up with sousuke, and he isn't the type of person to just come out and mention it if anything were the matter
you follow your captain's word and ask minami to check the boys' showers for you. there's someone in there, minami tells you, so you wait in the locker room with sousuke's favorite drink
out of the shower, sousuke doesn't cover up his shoulder fast enough - he can't even look you in the eyes, to see your disappointment, the anger for him hiding something like this...he doesn't think he can bear it
you open the drink, knowing his answer, before asking if he'd like it. sousuke smiles a bit at that, before asking why you're not watching everyone else's races
"may i see your shoulder?" you ask instead, and he tells you to return to the rest of the group
the deja vu is hella strong, and you're kneeling on the ground with sousuke on the bench, a hand on his knee "the way rin couldn't get out of the pool last year, you saw that tournament, right? would you have left his side, sousuke? if you were on samezuka then?"
"of course not" is his immediate reply, and you give him a pointed look
that was the last time you'd ever fail to notice that a friend of yours needed help, you had promised yourself, but a year later, you're back at square one, with possibly one of the strongest guys you've ever met in front of you, his hands shaking
you grab them, not knowing what else to do to stop the trembling, before asking, "why? that injury isn't new, why would you sign up for a race like this? what's going on sousuke?"
and he spills
there's no strong front to keep in front of you, he knows, and by the end of it all there is a raw quality to his voice, reliving his past years, bringing those words out couldn't have been easy, but he's hopeful
you could laugh, even, he's hopeful after all that, enthusiastic as he shares with you his new dream
you're bawling your eyes out and his cheeks are flushed but he feels lighter somehow, finally understanding what people mean when they say that talking is therapeutic
you're deciding whether or not it would be fair to ask him not to swim - this new sousuke, who's gladly ready to finish the relay knowing it'll be his final race is intimidatingly calm - when rin enters
taking your leave, you're not entirely surprised when the medley relay is announced, and all four of your boys stand in line
whether they won or lose didn't matter - hell, you hadn't even glanced at the scoreboard - because it was the most spectacular relay you've ever seen, and you're proud beyond words
did i mention how all of samezuka kept getting glares from the other schools? yeah not only do you guys have a) amazing swimmers but also b) not one, but two godlike managers?!? this has to be illegal??
regionals have a calming effect on the team, even the first years are much more confident in themselves, and there's this silent drive to push forward and get even stronger for nationals
as rin, mizutani, and riono practice for their big moment, you accompany sousuke for one of his appointments, and on your way back, you guys stop by your place and spend hours making yummy (healthy) snacks for everyone
by the time nationals come by, madoka empties her schedule to join you guys - you, momo, sousuke and madoka are sitting in the last four seats (ahjaabs nitori called rin again 😌)
you're going to watch riono, mizutani and rin race as they're the only ones who've made it
oh, speaking of whom, nitori is moping again because it's Rin Is MIA Before A Competition 2.0
your ever responsible, exemplary team captain shows up in the nick of time - and when you ask where he's been (the competitors get a one week club break instead of two, so they've got time to practice), he answers "australia", and you honestly Do Not have the time or energy to try and make sense of that anymore
y'all end up with two wins under your belts, which is a huge step for nationals
sei shows up to cheer for the team as well - you hadn't been able to catch him at regionals - so he's well prepared for the way the team pounces on him
all in all, madoka is satisfied with her experience, you met a beloved alum, rin and riono are getting hounded by scouts, sousuke is looking genuinely happier, the team is totally motivated for next year - it's a win for you
it's actually iwashimizu who reminds everyone about your annual team picnic this year
the whole team pays their respects at riono's shrine ("WILL YOU PRETEND I'M INVISIBLE AGAIN??!? NO PLS YOU GUYS-") before heading off to the site - it's a lakeside this time - and y'all start by assigning bbq duty (literally uozumi and sousuke are the only ones who can cook akabajaks)
there's beach volleyball, fetch with siri, you even planned a bunch of water games but!! the guys literally just race each other the entire time ://, and somewhere between all of that these dumbasses riono and nakagawa manage to go missing
there's this big ass forest surrounding your bbq site and you guys separate into two groups - the first and second years go off to find the two while the third years + madoka watch the site in case they return
now that was fine until an hour passed and no one was back, so you guys take siri and set off as well - the forest is much bigger and more confusing than y'all thought, and your team of four (rin, you, sou and madoka) don't seem to be equipped with survival instincts
you guys run into the first and second years in about half an hour, thankfully, because somehow momo has the most woodsy knowledge than anyone in the group - they still hadn't found the boys though
so here we have a group of about 17 people, walking around the trees aimlessly - it's been another hour, and you're sure if riono and nakagawa haven't been found, they're either a) dead or b) dying
welp, who are you guys to meddle with fate amirite?
especially when there's such an amazing bbq waiting
riono and nakagawa are playing badminton at the site when y'all are back - they'd spent some time at a nearby river because apparently this is a usual picnic spot for their families??
"and you didn't think? to mention this to anyone??"
"we did mention it!!" nakagawa protests "to iwashimizu!"
y'all turn to the man in question (who is found sleeping in the bus) "o-oops?"
iwashimizu has about eight popsicles slipped down his shirt that day
you someone mixes salt into his beloved vanilla milkshake
the team, to your surprise, pulls up with a whole ass cake at the end of day, because rather than being sad for your leave, they've decided to cherish and celebrate the amazing year/s their upperclass(wo)men gave them (minami's words), you can't deny that this team has done a lot for you
10/10 experience would recommend
a/n: we're all just gonna watch me pretend idk samezuka is an all boys school ✊😌 anyways i hope you enjoyed, have a goodddd day :)

TOTM
Pairing: Haru Nanase x reader
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: None
Summary: (Y/n) starts acting kinda funny and, eventually, Haru wants to know why she’s acting so strange
Updated: 01/26/20
A/N: ALL OF MY ANIME FICS WILL NOW BE DONE ON MY NEW ACCOUNT @midgetleviackerman
I've been a part of the Iwatobi Swim Club for so long now that I don't remember when I joined exactly. It all started when my brother, Aiichiro Nitori, or better known as Ai, told me about a joint practice that they were having. I love to swim and they never let me swim when they are having practice, so Ai said I could tag along and actually get to swim with them.
When I arrived, everyone was already there either doing stretches or already swimming. I immediately ran to the girls' locker room and got into my purple two-piece.
When I was done, I run out, past Ai, Rin, coach, and five other people I didn't know to jump into the pool. I stayed down there for a little while, just swimming about. After a couple of minutes though, I needed air, so I had to come up. When I resurfaced, I saw a handsome boy with ocean blue eyes staring at me.
Ai came up to the edge, along with his friends, and said, "Everyone, this is my sister, (Y/n)." Everyone gave a confused face but accepted it nonetheless.
"Nice to meet all of you," I said politely while wading around in the pool. Ai and Rin then introduced me to their friends and I found out the attractive one was called Haruka, but everyone calls him Haru. Everyone went about doing their usual thing while I just floated on the water. Suddenly, I felt a presence near me, so I opened my eyes and saw Haru wading next to me. I gave out a little yelp and fell through the water. I instantly resurfaced and saw Haru staring at me, making me blush a light shade at his intense eyes.
"You gave me a heart attack!" I shouted playfully, not actually scolding him. He stared at me and didn't say anything for a few moments.
He then finally responded with, "Sorry." I looked at him with no expression on my face. 'Does he not like to talk much?' When I snapped out of it, I saw him still staring at me.
"Was there something you needed?"
"The water likes you." I gave him a weird look, but before I could respond, he was already swimming away. 'It's a good thing he is good looking and can swim, otherwise, I wouldn't be attracted to him at all.'
I come to the pool after school and see that everyone is already there. 'I got to work on getting here quicker.' I suddenly feel a dull pain in my lower stomach, making me grunt softly. 'Hm, did I eat something bad?' Gou notices me and shouts,"(Y/n), you're late!"
Nagisa snaps his head in my direction and shouts,"(Y/n), what took you so long?" While he’s shouting that, he runs over and hugs me, almost toppling me over.
"Nagisa, you might want to let go of (Y/n) before you hurt yourselves," Mother Hen chirps.
"Mako-chan, will you relax? Nothing is going to happen to us!" Nagisa responds.
"Nagisa, let go of (Y/n)," Haru cuts into the conversation bluntly. Nagisa almost instantly lets go of me at that and apologizes. I reassuringly smile at him, letting him know that it’s okay.
Gou then decides to yell, "Hurry up, (Y/n)! We've already wasted enough time and we need to start practice!" I nod my head and run to the locker room to get changed.
I put on my top and go to put on my bottoms when I noticed a few drops of blood. 'No, no, no, no! This can't be happening to me! I didn't bring any tampons with me!' Someone knocks on the door and says,"(Y/n)! What is taking you so dang long to get changed?"
Of course, it’s Gou.
I put on my regular clothes again and come back out with a pout.
"I um, can't swim today. Sorry," I apologize.
Gou looks curious for a second, but shakes her head and says, "No! You are going to get in that pool and you are going to practice!"
I shake my head back at her and reply with, "No, Gou. You don't understand, I can’t." I made sure to emphasize the last word. We have a glare off for a few seconds and the boys don't interject at all. Well, that is until Haru comes up and says, "Let her be, Gou. Come on, (Y/n). I'll walk you home." He then pulls on some clothes and starts dragging me away.
"Who said that you were in charge, Haru? You need to practice! And it’s Kou!" Gou exclaims. He completely ignores her and continues to drag me away. We eventually reach my place where he stops in front of the door and just stares at me. "Why'd you do that?" I ask softly.
"You almost love to swim as much as me. You wouldn't say you couldn't swim unless there was a valid reason."
‘I think that is the most I've ever heard him speak at once. That was really nice and considerate of him, though.’
"Yeah, you're right, so thanks for bailing me out," I say while getting my keys out. I unlock the door and start to enter when Haru decides to follow right after me. I don't think much of it since this is something we often do, and just continue to come inside.
“I'll be right back," I say while making a beeline to my bathroom. He simply nods and makes himself comfortable on my plush couch.
When I finish my business, I come back and sit next to Haru. "Why?" he says abruptly. I jump a little, turn to him, and make a confused face.
"What do you mean?" We stare at each other for a few moments, before he replies.
"Why couldn't you swim today?" I was afraid he would ask that. I try to play it off as nothing so he wouldn't know the embarrassing truth. "I uh," I trail off. I sadly couldn't think of a lie quick enough. I give a big sigh and finally just admit the truth.
"I'm on my you-know-what."
He looks at me with no expression, which is a usual thing for him, but I can tell he’s confused. I’m the only person who can really read him, besides Makoto and Rin. Even then though, they couldn’t always read him like I can.
I give another large sigh and try to explain another way. ”Mother nature is visiting me.” He seems to still not get it even after that. “It’s a blood moon.” No response. "It's my TOTM." He obviously didn't know that either, so I clarify by saying, "Time Of The Month." He didn’t understand any of my ways of telling him, unfortunately; making me wonder if he’s taken a health class at all.
I then stand up and practically scream, "I’m on my period, you baboon!" I then realize what I said, sit down, look at him, and whisper, "I am so sorry. I didn’t mean that. You know, girls can get emotional and lose control of their emotions. I really didn't mea-"
I’m suddenly cut off by the handsome fish-boy himself pressing his lips to mine. I kiss back after a few seconds of processing what in the world is going on. He pulls away after a few moments and asks worriedly, at least as worriedly as he can, "Are you in any pain?"
I put a hand on my stomach with a nod of my head. "My gut is killing me." He nods and instantly gets up, walking towards the kitchen. He comes back with: ice cream, soup, medicine, water, and a couple other things. He drops that stuff off and disappears into my bedroom. He comes back again with: a fuzzy blanket, a heating pad, fuzzy socks, pajamas, a couple of pillows, and movies.
He sits down next to me once again and gets everything situated before relaxing beside me. The movie, (f/m), is on and I already finished eating my ice cream and soup. Haru has me pulled to his chest, all cuddled up in a blanket. Haru keeps giving my face, neck, head, and shoulders kisses at random times throughout the movie, making my heart skip a beat with each kiss.
After all that, we ended up dating and Nagisa and Gou freaked out and wouldn't stop screaming.
