the bestest of friends forever and ever

Rin Matsuoka (Free!)

word count: 3271 (kinda long but it's not that long? i dunno grab a snack)

warning: NONE, THIS IS FLUFF. Just cursing is all.

+++ I love love love Free! there's literally nothing bad about it, it's that good. So for everyone considering watching it JUST DO IT! For everyone who's watched it already, who's your fav?? Mine's Rin. though Makoto always snatches me away from Rin hng

"Rin, dude… aren't you supposed to be going home now?" You asked, shaking his half asleep self on the couch.

"Mmmm" Is all he could drag out as his eyes continued to drop.

After almost a year he's back in Japan for a competition. After the competition, and winning it, he basically dragged you with him to celebrate his win, when he’s prohibited to lurk around.

"Yo" You shook him. "It's getting quite late. Your coach will kill you."

"I couldn't care less" He said with a very tired voice.

You've been best friends for the longest time, so of all people you know how much this means to him, being at this place in his life in swimming. And Lord knows you couldn’t be any happier and proud of him. But he just worries you a lot, because with his success he seems to have forgotten to take care of himself.

You miss your best friend who knows how to take good care of himself, someone who made time for himself. When he was younger he's so full of life, and he still is, but there’s just that gleam in him, mostly in his eyes that aren’t there anymore.

"I'll drive you" You offered.

"No" He pulled you back to the couch as you were about to stand up. "It's getting late, so no, don't drive"

"Well you got to go back, so c'mon. I don't want you in any trouble" You said, trying to pull him up by the arm.

If you were still your younger selves, having your usual movie/game night you'd just let him be. You would have just left him alone and gone to your room. But right now you can't exactly do that. His team, mostly his coach, is very strict. And dumbass Rin thought it'd be a great idea to sneak out, which is why you gotta try and get him back to the hotel.

He groaned and yanked his arm from your grasp. "I literally can't. I have no energy left."

"Well, I can see." You said, sadly looking at him.

"Yeah? Then let me sleep" He turned away from you, laying down on the sofa.

"Trust me, I really want to just leave you alone but I just don't want you in any trouble, Rin"

"Like I said I really couldn't care less right now, I just--" Before he could even finish he yawned and rubbed his eyes.

You can’t do anything but sigh. He's gonna be in trouble, you just know it. But what you also know is that you won't be able to win against his stubborn self. Dealing with a sleepy Rin has always been a headache.

Plus, you just want to let this poor man sleep. He deserves it anyway.

"Okay fine" You said defeated, tapping his back. "But if you get in trouble, I'm out of it." You joked, which just earned a small hum from him.

You went to your bedroom to fetch him some pillows and a blanket cause it gets very cold in your apartment at night. When you got back, you settled them aside first because you realized he’s still wearing the same shirt he was wearing before

That shirt he's wearing is soaked because of all the activities he did earlier, and he might fall ill if he doesn't change out of it since sweat and water got all dried on his body.

"Rin, I swear I'm really sorry, I want you to just sleep but dude you gotta change. You've sweat on that shirt and your sweat got all dried up on your back and shit. You might catch a cold if you don't change. Better if you can take a shower actually, it’ll freshen you up and help you sleep better."

He groaned, turning to lay on his back, eyes still closed "Do I really have to do that? I just told you I can't move anymore" He whined.

"I know, but you're already gonna be in trouble, so let's not make it worse by having you return tomorrow not feeling well, yeah? I'll even snitch on you and tell your mom if you don't comply. You'll be in bigger trouble then." You said, waiting for him to do as you say. But he just groaned, lifted his arms just for them to fall back down beside him.

"See? Can't even lift my arms up for more than 10 seconds, how are you gonna make me shower? Nuh-uh" he said weakly, opening his eyes for a second to give you a pointed look.

You sigh from frustration, shaking your head. Literal steam coming out of your ears.

"Before your competition today you trained, then you competed for multiple categories, then after that you trained again, so what were you expecting, Rin? You’re not a robot for heaven’s sake. Should you really be overworking like this? When are you going to take a proper break huh? When you can’t move anymore? When you’ve injured yourself badly? All that pushing you do ain't going to be worth it if you fall ill or end up in a much worse state later on" You scolded, glaring at him.

He didn't answer you for a long time. He just stayed there, laid on the couch, eyes closed, but you know he’s not sleeping because he's fiddling with his fingers the whole time. You know he's thinking about what you just said to him. He does listen well to you, mostly when it comes to matters like this. Which is why back then his mom and sister would call you when he’s being stubborn and wouldn’t listen to them.

He better start taking better care of himself or else he won't hear the end of it from you. You’d fly to him wherever he is if you have to just to straighten and put him in his place.

"Soooooo..." You broke the silence after a few minutes of letting him think.

"Just do it for me." He said with a tired voice.

You just looked at him with eyes wide open. Has he lost it? Did he perhaps swallow too much swimming pool water? Did the water go straight to his brain?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, opening his eyes. "If I were you I’d relax those eyes, because damn, they look like they’re about to spill out" He chuckled lightly.

You gave yourself an internal slap and calmed your nerves who’s in total chaos right now.

"What exactly? Change you?" You asked, which he nodded to as if it’s nothing. "You just literally have to change your shirt, Rin. And since you don't wanna take a shower you can just wipe yourself, mostly your back, then that's it."

"Aw~ c'mon I can't even lift my arm up anymore" He gave you puppy eyes and pouted.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THE ANGELS UP ABOVE.

"Well whose fault is that? Not mine" You rolled your eyes, trying to hide the fact that your heart is actually hammering through your chest. You cannot decipher as to why your whole being is chaotic right now, since you’ve never been in this situation before, mostly with Rin.

"Just do it for me. It's not like you haven't seen me shirtless, there's no need to be shy. We've literally seen each other in diapers." He reasons.

"I'm not shy! There's no reason to be" You defended. "I just don't see why you just couldn't do it yourself"

Now that’s just you making excuses, because you are in fact shy right now that you can feel your face heating up.

Sure you’ve seen him shirtless, you literally just saw him shirtless earlier at the competition, he even hugged you while he’s soaking wet and shirtless.

WHICH IS WHY YOU’RE LOST RIGHT NOW AS TO WHY YOUR HEART IS DOING ACROBATICS AND YOUR STOMACH HAS A WHOLE ASS ZOO IN IT.

You’re getting nervous, hands sweating, even just by the thought of helping him change.

"You can clearly see I can barely move, what more do you need?"

You internally prayed and sigh, saying a defeated "Fine." under your breath.

You proceeded to your bathroom to grab some towels and made a quick stop in your closet to lend him a hoodie. Your hoodies are big so they always fit him.

Usually girls are the ones stealing clothes right? But in your case he's always the one stealing shit. His freaking suitcase when he left for Australia was filled with your hoodies. His shameless ass even wears them around you like they’re actually his.

By the time you get back to the living room he’s already snoring lightly. You hate to keep interrupting his slumber but you ain’t about to rip his shirt off either.

"Rin" You tapped his arm. "Can you sit up for a little bit?"

He shook your hand off, opening his eyes as best he could. "What?" He grumbled.

"Sit up so I can take your shirt off--"

"OhhhHhhh~" He smirked

"Bitch! imtakingitoffbecauseyourstupidassislazyto--"

He snorted and laughed hard. "I GET IT! Geez, breathe, I was just kidding. Damn, take a chill pill."

"Just sit the fuck up" You said, flicking his forehead, making him chuckle weakly.

For every passing second, your nervousness grew bigger, that your hand actually started shaking ever so lightly.

You took a deep ass breath, said a little prayer in your head, before reaching for the hem of his shirt. As much as you wanted to do it in one swift motion, It's kinda hard to do it fast because he’s slouched and is basically just knocked out.

When the shirt was fully off, you couldn’t help the heat that rose to your face that you had to turn away for a moment. Though you’ve seen his body way too many times, you couldn’t help yourself but still be in awe.

Seems like yesterday he's just a twig, now he's a whole ass trunk.

You snapped back into reality when you realized that you were just looking at him like a creep. You hurriedly grabbed the towels soaked in warm water and started with his back, gently wiping to help soothed his tensed muscles. When the warm towel made contact with his skin, sure enough his body instantly relaxed and he released a breath of content.

You continued up unto his chest and neck, which was way too hard. You felt like you needed oxygen or something.

You left the stomach area because just who knows what'll happen if you had included it. If you got a feel of his defined abs you might end up in a comma, so no thank you.

You helped him slip in your hoodie before moving on to his face since he might get cold. The moment he had on the hoodie, he sank back on the couch, pulling his hands into the hoodie.

What a cutie, kinda wanna cuddle him-- umm what. Please don’t tell him that.

"Mmm~ your hoodies are the comfiest" He smiled from ear to ear, snuggling even more to it.

"You would know huh?" You teased, making him giggle like a little kid as he started dozing off again.

"Rin, let me just wipe your face and then I’ll let you sleep." You said in almost a whisper, as if you don’t want to wake him when you are indeed waking him up.

To your surprise he laid his head on your lap, which was the last straw for you. You officially have a brain rot and as for your heart? It’s like it’s high as a kite right now. The crazy thing about this is that this isn’t the first time he’s done this. He’s done this countless times when you were younger.

To divert your attention from the heart attack you’re going through, you started wiping his face. As you wiped his face, you couldn’t help but to be amazed by his features though you basically have it memorized.

For some reason, there’s this very foreign feeling that’s creeping up your veins. A feeling you’ve never felt before. Then suddenly your heart started beating in a way different from its frantic race earlier. This one stems from somewhere deep.

Is this really one of those high school drama moments when you come into the realization that you like your best friend?

BUT THAT CAN'T BE! BECAUSE YOU’RE BEST FRIENDS AND HAVE BEEN SINCE FOREVER. LITERALLY SINCE YOU’RE IN DIAPERS.

You’ve never really thought about this because why would you? But now that you do think about it….Oh Lord--

"So are you trying to suffocate me or what?" He interrupted your train of thoughts, tapping on your wrist. You looked down to see that you had unconsciously stopped, your hand over his nose. You immediately retrieved your hand, apologized, and finished his face.

You can't like him, well you can, but not like THAT y'know?

Plus, you’re very certain he sees you as nothing more than just a best friend, so let’s not dwell on it too much and potentially ruin a friendship.

"Okay done. C’mon lift your head so you can have your beauty rest." You announced, lightly pushing his head.

He shook his head, further snuggling on your thighs which made you freeze. "You've interrupted my sleep enough, so you are now my pillow" he said.

"I literally took pillows from my room for you to use just for me to be the pillow"

He hummed in response.

This isn't really much of a help with your little crisis right now. Just how will you control your feelings when you're this close? Technically, had it been any other day, you shouldn’t be feeling anything but annoyance since he’s hogging up all your space. That’s how you always are when he does things like this. But that’s really not the case right now.

You shook your head and looked around your apartment to try and find something to focus on instead of the red head on your lap.

Eventually you give up, because no matter how hard you try, your eyes will always fall to him. You couldn’t help but smile at his peaceful face. You reached out and brushed away some hair poking his lids.

When you were retrieving your hand he stopped you and said "Please just keep doing that" He sighs, placing your hand back on his head.

You were a little surprised since he never let you, even Go, play with his hair. He doesn’t even let you simply touch it sometimes.

You decided not to say anything and just complied with him, running your hand through his hair.

“Thank you for letting me stay and do all this for me” He said with eyes closed.

“There’s no need to thank me, Rin. That’s what friends are for right?”

“You’re seriously the dumbest person sometimes” He scoffed.

You stopped running your hand through his hair, glared at him even though he couldn't see you, and gripped his hair ever so lightly. “Excuse me?”

He better take that back or there will be a wrestling match, right here, right now.

“I said you’re dumb, because do I seriously look like I just want to be best friends with you?” He clicked his tongue. Though his eyes are closed you can literally tell he’s rolling his eyes at you in his thoughts.

“Umm well-- You want to be the bestest of friends forever and ever?” You looked down at him, extremely confused.

He now opens his eyes, just to give you a look that clearly says that 'YOU ARE DUMB.'

“See, my point exactly.” He said, chuckling.

You’ve had enough, so you hit his head, making sure it hurts. He winced but laughed his ass off.

“You better fucking take that back or I’m flipping you over bitch” You glared at him.

“Girl, no way. Because you really are and you just proved it-- OWWW DAMN.” He shrieked, pulling your hand off his hair. “What I meant was that I like you way more than friends, best friends, or bestest friends forever and ever-- whatever the heck that is” He gave you a weird look when he said the last part.

In mere seconds, your glare was replaced with a lost look. You don’t know what to say. Your mouth was just opening and closing because you couldn't find the right words to say. It’s like your whole vocabulary is just gone.

“What are you a fish? Dude close your mouth, you might drool on me” He joked, scrunching his nose.

“Eh?”

“Again, you’re just proving you are indeed dumb. I like you okay? I like you not just as a friend. I like you as in I want to date you, have you be my girlfriend, and maybe the future mother to my kids-- but it’s too early for that, so girlfriend is fine for now.”

“Why the fuck me?” You blurted out without even thinking.

He burst into laughter, rubbing his tired eyes. “You really are something" He tapped your nose.

He then gave you a warm smile, looking you straight in the eyes. He reached out for your face, rubbing his thumb on your cheeks. “But to give you a simple answer-- because I know it’ll bug the hell out of you if I don’t answer. Plus I'm extremely sleepy now, so let's keep it short. I like you because….what is there to not like about you? I know that's a cheesy answer but it's true. You've got the softest heart, you're kind to everyone, you're smart, caring, and most of all very loving. I should know, considering I’ve known you for as long as I can remember. And I'm lucky enough to be one of those people who were able to experience those things."

You were speechless. It's very simple, but that's all you need to make your heart melt and turn into a mush.

"Speechless? I know you like me too y'know? I mean, who doesn’t?” He gave you a cocky smile.

You immediately became shy, pushing his face away so he won't look at you. "I-I-- shut up” You stuttered, hiding your face away, since you know you look like a literal tomato right now.

“Wait, you actually do like me?” He asked, face looking completely surprised, but a smile is slowly creeping in.

“Stupid ass, I thought you said you already know?” You said, pinching his cheeks real hard.

“Well I was just saying it cause I’m manifesting it y’know?” He winced, taking your hand and intertwining your fingers, which made you even more of a tomato than you already are.

“Whatever” Was all you could say as you tried hard to fight the smile that kept on trying to creep up your face.

He gave your hand a kiss before hugging it to his chest.

“Okay, since that's done with, can I now sleep? You’ve halted my sleep long enough. I'll be all sweet and lovey dovey with you tomorrow. Goodnight bestest friend forever and ever.” He snorted at the last part, earning him a light pinch on his side.

He laughed and teased you a bit before turning his body towards you, hugging your waist. He kissed the thigh that his head was resting on, further snuggling into it.

“Sleep, Rin.” You said, kissing his forehead and went back to running your hand through his hair.

“For the record, you still won’t be getting any of your hoodies back” He said, before finally sleeping.

“Asshole”

"I love you too, dummy"

❝brand new story❞ // r. matsuoka

SYNOPSIS: those who are lucky figure out their calling in life when they're young, and unfortunately for you, the boy you love's passion is taking him to a different hemisphere

» CHARACTER PAIRING: rin matsuoka x fem!reader

» WORD COUNT: 2.9k

» GENRE: aged up characters, time-skip

» WARNINGS: sprinkle of swearing, pinch of angst, fluff

If there was one thing you loved about living in Iwatobi, it's the fact that in the summer the stars seem so bright that they shine almost as bright as the sun. You’d been drawn to them since you were a child, and some random kid had been drawing them in the dirt, who had exploded into explanation when you’d asked him what he was drawing.

There was something oddly satisfying gazing upon them. Sure, the thought that what you may be looking at right that second could actually no longer exist pushed you to the urge of an existential crisis every now and again - so you chose not to focus on that.

Instead, just the thought that even in all that darkness, the ultimate void, there is still a semblance of light, and a lot of it is comforting.

And there’s no better way to see the stars whilst floating in your highschool pool.

“Are you fucking nuts?”

Your shocked exhale as your head dunking under the surface. Rapidly pushing your feet off the bottom, you break through and spit out the water that had slipped into your mouth.

As you cough the water from your lungs whilst wiping the water from your face, your eyes shift to the figure standing at the side of the pool. Dressed in sweats and a loose tank top that has the muscles of his torso peeking out from the sides, Rin looks at you with a familiar look.

As if you’ve officially lost your last remaining braincell.

Do you ever meet someone that shines so brightly that it physically hurts to look at sometimes? Who’s love radiates off them in waves when facing their passion. Someone who stands out amongst others like the damn north star to everything else. To you, that person was Rin Matsuoka, your best friend and sometimes bane of your existence.

Pulling out of your thoughts, you push the hair now clinging to your forehead like glue off your face and return his look with one of your own.

“No, I'm perfectly sane.”

“You’re trespassing.” He points out and you raise an eyebrow.

“I am a student of this establishment, and I deserve to be able to use their facilities, thank you very much.”

“The graduation certificate in one of your boxes at home that you got last week says otherwise.” he points out, quickly slipping out of his shoes and rolling up the pants of his sweats.

You both had officially graduated from high school last week. You had cried with Nagisa hard core after the ceremony, feeding off each other's hysterics. But it wasn’t until you had seen Gou that it had hit you, you had graduated.

And now, as you look at the big brother of one of your best friends, and the person who drives you crazy to god's end - as you see the confidence in his gaze… you know he’s made a choice for after school.

He’s going back to Australia.

As Rin sits on the edge of the pool letting his legs submerge under the surface, you slowly swim over to him. The tension that always seems to hug his shoulders finally loosens its grip, and as he tilts his head back - he almost looks peaceful. Too bad you know him better.

Folding your arms on the edge of the pool, you gaze up to the maroon haired male, taking your time to just appreciate him.

“You’re going back to Australia.” It’s not a question, because you already know the answer. It’s a fact, because deep down, you had known that Australia was his end game. Rin Matsuoka had a tendency to run from things, but to eventually come full circle and return to finish the job. And swimming professionally in Australia was no different. As if feeling your gaze, Rin opens one eye and looks down at you. There’s so much unsureness and insecurity in that single look alone, it has your heart aching inside your chest.

“Yeah,” The one word floats between you like a balloon, slowly growing bigger and bigger until it pops. You had known this was coming, you had expected it. But you hadn’t expected it to hurt this much.

“I thought so.” You reply, pushing yourself out of the pool and sitting next to him, once again on dry land.

“I’m not surprised.” Rin seems to be the one surprised though, if the raised eyebrows on his face are anything to go by.

“Really?”

“No, because I know you, Rin Matsuoka.” You look from the water to the man by your side, and try to swallow the lump of emotion that sticks itself tightly in your throat. SInce you had first met him in elementary school, you’d thought he was adorable, but now as an adult - he’s simply beautiful. Savagely so.

Not being able to look at the insecurity in his eyes, you instead lean back on your forearms and look back to the stars for comfort.

“I knew that you’d want to go back. You never leave anything incomplete. You chase risks, putting your very soul and being into your passion. So yeah, I knew all along.”

Seeming speechless, Rin looks up at the sky once more, as if - like you only moments ago - unable to look at the truth in your eyes. Because he knows deep down he has to go, even if it hurts him - and kills you. It’s where he’s meant to be.

Some people are lucky, finding their calling in their youth, others find it as adults, and others find it later on in life. Rin was one of the lucky ones. You? You weren’t sure what you wanted, other than the boy right next to you.

“Part of me wants to stay.” You give yourself the time frame of a single exaggerated blink on how to ask why without seeming ecstatic over the fact he feels like that at all.

So instead, you pull your knees to your chest and press your chin to them and ask, “Why would you?” Because everything he’d been dreaming about since he was a child is in Australia. Sure his friends are here, many of them going to college’s outside of Iwatobi, but still in the swimming world - so it's not like he won't run into them. Besides, it's the 21st century, and people don’t send messages by carrier pigeon anymore. But as you look at Rin, who’s eyes remain on the water now, his figure slumped over in what looks like defeat - something you’ve so rarely seen from him it's honestly shocking - you’re not sure what to think.

“Because of you.” Those ruby red eyes meet yours, and its as if the entire world around you holds its breath at that moment. The cicadas that summer brings fall eerily quiet and if you weren’t so focused on the person in front of you, you’d have thought it mirrored your heart which fell to a dead stop inside your chest.

Like the rewinding scratch of a record, your brain replays his words again and again and again. He wants to stay? Because of you?

“No.” Your brain agrees as the words come out before you can think them through. But you knew if you had hours to ponder on this decision, it wouldn’t change.

“What?” Rin fully turns his body to yours now, utterly perplexed at your choice. You shift to mirror him, wanting to face him completely for what you were about to say. Leaning into his space on your hands, you level Rin with a hard look, letting the conviction in your tone bleed out through your every pore.

“You cannot and will not stay here for me. You are going to go to Australia, and you’re not going to look back.” With every parting word, your heart painfully throbs against your ribcage as if begging you to stop. Because although you don’t want him to leave you, you know how much he wants this, and needs it because of who he is. And who are you to make him stay.

You had fake married Rin Matsuoka in kindergarten, and he had held onto the other heart of your heart ever since. He’d taken it with him when he went to Australia, and brought it back when he came home. And he’s about to take it and more with him again.

There was no doubt in your mind or your heart that Rin was the great love of your life, but what’s love if not putting someone else's needs before your own?

“Why?” He asks with a shaky breath, obviously not expecting you to react the way you have. So instead of bursting out the million and one reasons why he needs to go - starting with the fact it’s always been where he was going - you give him a soft smile.

“Because I love you too much to ever keep you here.” You don’t let yourself focus on anything other than his widened eyes as you gently cup his cheek with an unsteady hand.

“Because you love swimming more than anything on earth. It’s as much of a part of you as breathing Rin.” Your words ease into a gentle laugh that is more from your nerves than anything else.

“But so are you,” His gaze drops from your eyes and lands on the small space between you, as if it symbolises the distance about to be wedged between you in only a few short weeks.

But so are you, it rings in your head like church bells and you try to retain the grin that threatens to stretch widely across your mouth. How long have you waited to hear that? Months? Years? Does it hurt that he’s finally somewhat admitted what you’ve wanted for so long only weeks away from being in a completely different hemisphere? Yeah, that kind of sucks. But at least you know.

You raise your left hand to his face as well and gently raise his head so he’s looking back at you once again. In any other situation, you may have commented on the bright blush painted across his cheeks, but you’ll let it slide this once because it’s not the most important thing.

“I love you Rin.” Silver builds in the inner creases of his eyes, and you give him a blubbery smile of your own. “I love you, and that is not going to change in two days, two months, two years or two-hundred years. I love you with every fiber of my being and that is never changing.”

“Jesus christ,” he mutters, wiping away those tears as they finally crest, but he doesn’t move from your hands, instead leans into them.

“You’re going to Australia, you’re going to swim your heart out,” a sob breaks your sentence, and suddenly Rin’s hands are on your face, trying to stop the tears as you speak. “You’re going to do what you are born to do, and I'm going to be with you every step of the way.” There’s so much sureness and confidence bubbling inside your chest, you know he feels it. The fire that had been vacant from his gaze for the last few days flickers to life once more, and you know, he feels it too.

“In case you weren’t sure, I… I love you too, dumbass.” He laughs softly, and you find yourself giggling along with him, even though you’re still crying.

“Can you please stop crying so I can stop crying?” Rin sniffles and you finally wipe the slowly receding tears from your face that he had missed.

“Deal.” Rin pulls your wet frame against his, ignoring the fact that you are soaking wet and he’s not, and tucks you into his chest. For a quiet moment, you sit there just listening to the noises of the small town around you. The cicadas, the breeze, and the occasional car on the main road hidden from view. You know you’ll miss these moments in time to come, but for now, you lean into Rin and try to engrave everything about this moment into your memory so deep that every time you close your eyes, it's there.

“It’s not going to be easy you know,” Rin breathes against the crown of your head making you smile.

“Not sure if you’re aware, but there’s these things called cell phones? And the internet? I know modern technology may be more than you can handle in your old age but-” you’re sentence is broken from a squeal of laughter as Rin hurls you off his lap and back into the pool. Tacking a mouthful of water, you break the surface and look at the boy you love in front of you.

“You’re a little shit you know that?” To add fuel to the fire, you step forwards to grip his hands, and offer him a closed lip smile - right before you spit the water at him and yank him into the pool with you. If anyone else had ever done that to him, they’d probably be six feet under. But instead, as Rin’s head emerges from the water, his maroon hair plastered to his face, he just laughs. The happiness that radiates from him is so contagious, you find yourself grinning at the sight of him.

“Who do you think I got my attitude from Mr broody and snappy?” You tease, letting the man in question pull you into his arms once more and gently cup the back of your head.

“You got all my best traits obviously,” he jokes right before leaning down with a gentleness that is so different to his words, and presses his lips to yours. And running the risk of being cheesy and cliche, it’s everything you ever imagined it to be. Because like it's been your whole life, Rin Matsuoka feels like home.

“You know pacing won’t make him show up any faster.” You pointedly choose to ignore your friend's words, and continue to pace whilst shooting him a blank look.

“Thank you Sousuke, for your observation. I will take your opinion into consideration.” You snip back instantly.

“No you won’t. Seriously Y/n, relax.” Within a millisecond he turns from annoying little brother attitude to concerned best friend and you finally turn to him fully, wringing your wrists in nerves.

Since Rin moved, you’d found yourself falling into a somewhat unexpected friendship with his even broodier and grumpier friend - who had surprised you in one of your first interactions by actually laughing at one of your shitty jokes. You had bonded over missing Rin and how much of an idiot he was as a kid, and had somehow become friends.

He was also the one however that gave you countless amounts of teasing when you’d call him complaining about missing Rin.

But not anymore, because Rin was coming home - for a while.

Sure, he was returning to try out for the japanese national team to represent the country at the Olympics, but who cares because he’s still coming home.

“What time is it again?” You ask, trying not to let your nerves take over your brain, but judging by the unimpressed look that Sousuke gives you, they already have.

“It’s been literally two minutes since you last asked.” He points out and you clench your fists, refraining from the urge to slug him in his arm.

“Cut me some slack,” you groan as you turn back to the arrival door of the international airport. You’d made Sousuke get here almost an hour early just to be safe so he was already grouchy with you since you’d rocked up at his place. You didn’t even know why you were nervous. You’d been lucky enough to visit Rin in Australia twice since he’s been gone, once for his birthday and the second for christmas. But that was almost a year ago, and since then you’d been living off facetime. It wasn’t the same.

A flash of red catches your eyes, and your whole body stills as Rin pulls through the doorway, cap pulled over his hair and a hoodie clutching his toned torso. You hear Sousuke say something, but you’re already running away from him.

At your burst of movement, Rin see’s you and the grin that covers his face as you run even faster. You want to say his name, to yell or scream in excitement, but instead you throw yourself into his arms.

You finally feel his chest thunder as he laughs and the feeling has you hugging his neck even tighter. He was here. Rin was finally here. You’re not sure how long you stay there, gripping onto his body like an infant, but Rin doesn’t try to move you. Instead, he drops his bag from his shoulder and moves his hands to support you as your legs wrap around his waist.

Feeling him pull back, you finally lean away and look up into those ruby eyes. The warmth that floods your chest resembles standing in sunshine after a week of rain.

“Hi.” You whisper so softly, you’re not sure if he can hear over the noise of the people around you. But he does, because his smile grows tenfold.

“Hey sweetheart.” is all he says and you’re crying. Not heavy sobs, but just gentle tears from being overwhelmed with emotion. “I’m home.” Rin whispers back before leaning down and claiming your lips in an eager kiss that would have knocked your legs out from under you, had you been standing. But instead he holds you up, standing steady and firm like a rock in a storm. Keeping you safe and sound.

He’s finally home.

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 :)

18+ Minors DNI

More (explicit) below the cut!

There was a loud clanging sound when your arms hit the lockers in front of you as he forcibly bent you over, grabbing your hips hard and rubbing himself against where your swimsuit rode up on your ass cheeks. You muffle a surprised noise by pressing your mouth to the inside of your arm and squeeze your eyes shut when you feel him start to harden in his own swimsuit. The heat radiating off of him could be from arousal or training or anger. You still feel like you can’t tell the difference at the beginning like this.

During your first official university swim practice, your captain Rin Matsuoka ran you and the other first years ragged with what felt like never ending drills over and over and over, and when everyone had shaky legs and jelly arms, he lined you all up on the edge of the deck of the pool and gave you a speech about responsibilities to the team during your swim career. In order to teach you all a lesson, he decided to assign individual jobs to each of you, so you all could do your part in helping the team run efficiently.

One by one, all the other first years were privately given their assignments and sent off to showers, while Rin occasionally shot glances in your direction and raked his gaze up and down your rippling, exhausted body heaving with breaths. Soon, you were the only one left, and he took you aside to the other locker rooms to give you your assignment.

That was the first time he took you, raw and rough, in the showers. Your job was to appease him whenever he needed it, and when he asked if you could handle it, all you could do was drop your jaw open and let him fuck himself with your throat.

You weren’t going to give up your full-ride scholarship over a measly sex arrangement.

Fluffcember Day 6 | Rin M.

Prompt: Hot chocolate Pairing: rin matsuoka (free) x reader Words: 605 Tags: @hoekaashi

<< Previous day Next day >>

The temperature was well into the negatives but with the wind chill it felt colder than it was. Your fingers burned and ached despite burying your hands in your pockets, the tips of your lashes frozen white and your legs throbbing from the unforgiving winds as you speed walk down the dark empty streets to your apartment.

There wasn’t much snow on the ground allowing you to walk as fast as your legs would carry you. Sniffling frequently you bury your face further into your scarf trying to find some warmth. A strong blast of wind froze you to the bone as you curse about how utterly freezing it was.

You want nothing more than to be in Australia where your boyfriend Rin was currently training for the past two months. The thought of doing nothing but lie on the beach all day under a blazing hot sun with the sound of waves crashing against the shore made you groan at how your current reality was so far from that. The only thing pushing you forward was thinking about what you were going to do as soon as you got home.

Change into a warm pair of pyjamas, put your favourite show on and make yourself a nice steaming hot cup of hot chocolate. Your fingers, cold and bright red from the harsh winter temperatures struggle to unlock your apartment door. You had been ignoring the emptiness you felt every time you were greeted with a dark apartment, the false hope you gave yourself each night that maybe he’d be there when you walked through the door only made you feel lonelier. You had fully mentally prepared yourself to spend the night curled up in bed, and hopefully have a chance to talk to your boyfriend before you went to sleep.

What you hadn’t expected in the slightest was to walk in and find him sitting on the couch, hair tied back in that cute little ponytail you loved so much wearing grey sweats and a hoodie. He turned to face you upon hearing the door open, his smile still left you breathless even after being together for years. You don’t even realize you’re crying with joy as you launch yourself into his waiting arms. His body heat against you felt more amazing than words could describe. His lips kiss your cheeks before pressing several hard pecks against your chapped lips.

“God I missed you” he smiles using his thumb to wipe away your tears.

“How? When did you leave?” Your brain is still in shock, trying to process the fact that he really was standing there in front of you and it wasn’t all in your head.

“We got let out earlier than I expected and I wanted to surprise you” Thanking whatever deity had taken pity on your sad lonely state you wrap your arms around his waist and press your ear against his chest listening to his heartbeat.

“I missed you” you mumble, his hand strokes your hair affectionately in response.

“You’re freezing! Go take a shower and I’ll make us some hot chocolate” Your heart swells at how in tune he is with your needs. It wasn’t often that Rin indulged himself in eating sweets or treating himself to a more unhealthy meal he enjoyed but whenever he did it always made you appreciate how much he did for you.

Your day that had started uneventfully, lonely and cold, had changed into a night that you wouldn’t have traded for anything in the world and when you kissed him goodnight you could taste the sweetness of your favourite drink on his lips.

@haematicsugar asked: Heyo! Could I get Rin Matsuoka with a S/O who's always wanting to play with his hair? 👀 V soff,,, please 'n thank you💞

A/N: Of course dear! Not gonna lie, I LOVE it when people play with my hair! It’s so relaxing and soothing!

Rin X !GN Reader - Relaxation

Words: 457

Character: Rin Matsuoka / Fandom: Free! Iwatobi Swim Club

Warnings: None! Just fluff!

-If you enjoyed this work, please consider buying me a coffee.

Rin never liked to look soft or unguarded and that was a fact that was always known. However when it came to you and how good it felt when you played with his hair, running your fingers through it, he couldn’t help but practically melt at the mere touch.

You always knew when he needed to unwind and relax and today was one of those days. The coach was putting immense pressure on him and the upcoming race. It would be the biggest of the season and the scouts would be there from various Olympic swim teams looking for recruits.

“Rin, is that you?” He heard your voice from your guys’ shared bedroom. Placing his shoes by the door, bag on the ground and shucking off his shoes, he made his way to you wanting nothing but to lay down with you and try to forget about the building pressure that was filling his mind.

“Hey (Y/N), sorry I ran late, coach was giving me an earful.” You could see that the stress was getting to him, this has been the same routine for the past week and you could tell that this was wearing Rin down. Without a word, you spread your arms out and gestured for him to come lay with you on the bed. Instead of verbally comforting him, playing with his hair was your go to and something that was unspoken between you two.

No lengthy words were needed, just having you run your fingers through his hair, petting it, twirling it, anything really just made him relax. When you first found this out, you were ecstatic! Of course you didn’t tease him about it because if you did, he’d push it away.

Rin crashed on the bed, head finding his way to your lap. Your fingers started to caress and glide through his soft hair. It was always soft, no matter what Rin did, run in the wind, swim and let it air dry, get caught in the rain; it was always soft and so silky.

Your fingertips started to rub his scalp as well, making Rin groan out. You smiled as you could feel Rin start to loosen up the more you continued to play with his hair. “I know you’ve been exhausted this past week and I hope I’m able to give you some sort of comfort.” Opening his eyes, he grinned up at you before closing them again and settling back into the warmth of your lap.

“You always comfort me (Y/N), more than you could imagine.” With that said, you continued to run your fingers through his hair, a comfortable silence coming between you both as Rin let you work your magic on him once again.

can I request rin from free with a s/o who can’t swim

Anime: Free!

Genre: Idk, fluff???

Character included:

Rin Matsuoka

-----------------------------

-Let me start off by saying that Rin likes swimming, so he would like for his s/o to at least know how to swim.

-When he found out you couldn’t swim, he was kind of surprised.

He didn’t expect for you to not know how to swim. “How hard can it be?”

-When you told him you couldn’t swim, he chuckled at your words

He wasn’t making fun of you or anything, he just found it amusing and a bit cute, though he would never admit it.

-The next day, he would bring you to the beach where he would try to teach you the easiest techniques to swim.

He would start off by holding your body against his and make sure you won’t drown.

-He would also be strict, like a coach, but somehow still remain the loving boyfriend he is.

He would also hold both of your hands if that would make you more comfortable.

-After a long day at the beach, he would always buy you something to eat. Maybe it would be your favorite flavor ice cream or candy.

-Rin would bring you to the beach almost every day depending on the weather to make you get used to swimming.

-He wouldn’t push you to go and swim if you would not want to though.

And as pushy as he looks, he would respect your boundaries and wishes.

-What Rin would do is that he would pull you into the water here and then, holding you in his arms and swirling you around.

-His grip is strong, so I think that you should feel safe in his arms, especially in water.

-He would also tease you about not knowing how to swim, but not in a mean way, in a loving/fun way.

title: the free! boys reacting to you holding their faces. (headcanons)

genre: fluff.

masterlist.

extra notes: a few months into dating, and their s/o finally gathers up the courage to hold the boys’ faces. how exactly would they react? i’ve also added some songs which would possibly go great with the boys! enjoy~~~

first of all, makoto.exe has stopped working.

you were probably on the couch, in the most comfortable cuddling position. and you can’t help but look into his beautiful, emerald green eyes, now glowing brightly under the ceiling light of the living room. it somehow is so effective - you drown in them the more you gaze into them. even the eyes look like they’re smiling. how was that even possible?

so involuntarily, your hand reaches for his face, your palm resting in between his cheek and jawline.

makoto go SHOOK !!

“e-eh?!” he gasps at the sudden contact of your skin against his. realizing it was only you, he softened, now nuzzling his cheek against your palm. “you took me out of my daze...! would you like anything, angel?”

you brought your face up, his point of view now completely matching yours (cue pov by ariana grande oOPS)

“you’re too cute.”

“y/n-chan, i might explode from blushing too much— but i must say, you’re cuter.”

he can get really smooth when it comes to praising you and such, i can tell. makoto has the blood of being husband material, and i will stand corrected.

tons of blushing, lots of kisses too. expect that coming your way \OwO/

no thoughts, head go brr

literally, this man just went brr when he felt this new feel of contact on his face. his eyes open wide, like this 👁👁

this probably happened after the two of you took a relaxing dip in the bathtub (because he found out that you were vv tired from all the workload you had waiting for you), and the both of you laid in bed, with you hugging him, and his arm wrapped around your figure. it’s almost his favorite position, but he wouldn’t admit it.

“are you feeling better now....?” he asked you with the usual soft tone in his voice.

slowly, you reached your hand up to his face. “absolutely.” (hmmm, cue art deco by lana del rey)

cue the brr !! what is this new form of contact? was he dreaming? this was you, right? hello...??

“haru! haru, love, are you doing okay? why do you look...flushed?”

“who, me? not at all.” and to think that he would say all of this in the most calm and collected manner, without stammering. when in reality he is slowly turning red, and his heart is violently beating, completely being in love with you.

“actually......i like this. can you do it more....often?”

when i first saw rin, the only thing i can think of when he is with his s/o is that he is a genius. in. making you. fluster. he doesn’t even have to try so hard to make you melt into a puddle. with a literal grin, your heart could skip a beat or two.

shark boy do be looking good tho, need i say more?😌

so i’d like to believe that in order to make rin malfunction, just give him affection. give him headpats. peck him on the lips before he goes out for training. enough to make the boy blush all the way, till his friends notice.

then there’s this face holding. you’ve never exactly held his face before, and you wanted to, so badly. (she by harry styles. wink wonk)

it was probably because he kept teasing you that one particular day.

gou supports this 1000000000%

before his swimming practice, he needs his pep talks from his baby, because why not ;))))

and he’s a lil worried this time ‘cause he wants to make you happy, so he’s moving around a lot more, his breaths shorter, his hands getting colder.

“hey, hey rin. look at me.” and slowly, you place your palm on his cheek, bringing his face to look at you

at this point he’s already red. like red red. “eh? huh? i’m....wha-...?”

“win or lose, you’ll always be the best to me,” you smiled. your hands were warm at that moment, which was why he did not flinch away. the difference in body temperature was huge anyway. cue him sinking into your touch, while he covers his face with his towel. “you got me good this time.”

“now i’m only stating the truth, rin-kun~,” you cooed, sticking your tongue out.

you are his serotonin booster. 10000/10 would want you to hold his face again. please.

⭑･ﾟﾟ･*:༅｡.｡༅:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　✿✼:*ﾟ:༅｡.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑

(a/n): i only wrote three for today!! i promiseeee you i could’ve written more, but hey, let’s start it off pretty simple for now, shall we?? i hope you do enjoy reading this! take care and ily all! kissy🥺💕💕

wap challenge.

synopsis: ‘WAP challenge’ versus our lovely boys.

# tags: headcanons; current relationships; aged up; romance; mild comedy and fluff; suggestive?

includes: female reader ft. hitoshi shinsou & you shindou {bnha} + eita semi & tobio kageyama {hq!!} + seijuurou mikoshiba & rin matsuoka {free!}

— HITOSHI

↘ It was absolutely NOT YOUR idea to do this challenge. Mina was the initiator of it all, because she’s addicted to the TikTok app, plus she knows every trend that is currently taking place. Plus, she’s your bestie, so it’s super obvious that you’ll do a lot of (stupid) things with her to keep an eye on her silly ass.

↘ UMMM, anyway. Also not gonna lie, but you liked to dance, so it was much easier to induce you this time, hehe.

↘ Therefore, a few trainings later, you could easily record the ‘WAP challenge’ and put it on the pink-haired teenager’s popular account.

↘ Meanwhile, your lovely boyfriend was in the coffee bar with Denki. Unexpectedly, the latter got a notification on his phone.

↘ (Of course, we all know that Kaminari is the second TikTok biggest fan and his content is something like ‘Top10 things I don’t like about Bakugo’.)

↘ Coming back to the topic, the blonde’s eyes automatically widened when he saw the video inserted into Mina’s account; he wasn’t surprised by the young girl’s idea and its general performance, but you... He totally didn’t expect it! After all, you were the complete opposite of a crazy pinky one and you were literally the voice of reason in your friendship.

↘ “Oh, God... Wow. You have to see this, Shinsou.” He laughed under his breath, then restarted the short video and turned the black phone to the boy who currently drinking colored bubble tea.

↘ Well. Needless to say, some cold tea flew out of his mouth and his both cheeks turned redder than Kirishima’s hair.

↘ Aaaand he got an boner.

— YOU

↘ That mf... Okay.

↘ Listen to me.

↘ Honestly, you were never interested in having an account on this whole TikTok app, but you saw a tons YouTube videos of people dancing to an English-speaking female rapper’s song and you just found it as a fun and interesting activity (+ you really liked this lit song, so...).

↘That’s why, you pushed back the furniture in your own room, which was in the Ketsubutsu Academy dorm, and put on a music. The first three attempts were just learning the steps, but by the fourth time you were ready for the real dance, so you tied your hair in a high ponytail to make it more comfortable and corrected the top of your clothes.

↘ Absorbed in setting up the camera and playing the song at the right moment, you didn’t even notice when your boyfriend entered your room. Of course he wanted to say hi or just kiss your pretty face, but at the same moment you jumped up and lifted your leg, quickly dropping to your knees.

↘ Shindou’s eyes widened while he resting his arm against your bedroom white wall. He even bit his lip, feeling a pleasant tingling in the stomach and throat.

↘ To say that he was delighted is definitely not enough.

↘ And when you finished the dance with the split, your boyfriend was still silent... However there was a sound of clapping and mouth pecking throughout the room. Slightly frightened, you turned towards him, and your cheeks flushed deeply.

↘ “Well, well, well. I didn’t expect that, but... I’d love to see it again, babe.” He winked at you, and you quickly covered your red face with your hands, still sitting on the floor.

— EITA

↘ All of us know perfectly that Semi is... a very serious man. I mean, have you seen how much he gives while he playing volleyball and helping his lovely teammates? Eita takes many things seriously (both at school and in private life) hence his strong character and his frequent lack of playfulness when you both have a small talk.

↘ However, you still love him very much and you would do anything for this big baby boy to make him happy and make him feel loved and appreciated as your boyfriend, friend and also volleyball player.

↘ Anyway, you didn’t expect that one day he would come over to your house and your mother would let him in, saying that ‘as always, you are at your own bedroom, listening to music’.

↘ Eita also didn’t expect anything special that day; he just came to you to spend Saturday watching interesting anime, some movies, talking and possibly ordering a pizza at his treat, but then he opened the door to your room and literally at the same moment he saw that you swing your leg up, and after a while you get down on your both knees.

↘ Of course he was so shocked because, firstly, he didn’t expect you to dance, and secondly, he didn’t expect you to dance this kind of moves...

↘ The poor boy who always took everything around him seriously couldn’t absorb for the next few seconds the fact that some people do a lot of things for fun... not for awards and medals like him and his beloved team.

↘ Fortunately, he quickly shook his head and laughed a bit under his breath when you barely managed to do a splits.

— TOBIO

↘ HAHAHGAHHAHDDAHAHAADDXXHJXJXDD. SORRY. I MEAN...

↘ The poor baby boy has his head high in the clouds and is only interested in the volleyball or matches, the milk in the carton from the school vending machine and you.

↘ Therefore, he’s not into the social media like Twitter, TikTok, Tumblr or YouTube. Sometimes he just steals your Spotify or Netflix account, but that’s all.

↘ Therefore, when one random day Hinata and Yamaguchi ran up to him with orange-head’s phone in his hand and a few seconds later asked if he had already seen the video with you in the lead role, the black-haired young man raised an eyebrow up, not understanding about what his two teammates talked at that moment.

↘ However, when after a short while he saw a dance video with loud music on the app on Shouyou’s phone, a small wrinkle appeared on his forehead and his mouth tightened into a narrow line.

↘ When the video was over, he thanked his besties, then took his own smartphone out of his pants pocket to search for your name in contacts. He quickly wrote you a short message, and as you read it, a huge blush appeared on your both cheeks.

↘ Tobi! | 14:23 ; Why didn’t you tell me that you dance? You’re pretty good at it. I’d like to see it privately. See you after classes :).

— SEIJUUROU

↘ :D

↘ Let’s start with the fact that Seijuurou is definitely a social animal and knows a lot of phone apps (unlike Haikyuu boys, lmao).

↘ I mean, he knows perfectly well all Twitter or Tumblr jokes and general slang, his favorite app is probably Instagram, and the Urban Dictionary is his second home, his bestie. Not need to mention that you share Netflix together, you two also are on the same Discord channel, and on top of that, he makes a shitpost on his own Facebook profile.

↘ No wonder that one day when he caught you dancing to the Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion song, he immediately joined to you. As if dancing had been in his veins from the day he was born, almost like swimming.

↘ The young man literally took all your viewers off the account and all the beauty of the fame you worked hard while you putting your own content on the channel.

↘ ‘Well... I expected that.’

↘ After a few days, of course, you changed the main theme of your account and instead of creating it by yourself, you shared it with your beloved boyfriend (after all, you couldn’t refuse the fans and the red-head...).

↘ Now you put all kinds of videos and posts together, and the people on TikTok like both of you very much and consider you two to be the sweetest couple in the whole world.

↘ Camila and Shawn are nothing compared to you!

— RIN

↘ I think Rin would know what TikTok is, and also know that you have an account there, but he has never been more interested in it than necessary.

↘ I mean, it might have existed, but he wouldn’t be interested in getting into the ‘world’ of any influencers and celebrities.

↘ Well.

↘ The big boy was very busy with swimming and with planning your dates...

↘ So when he listened to music on YouTube one randomly evening and totally accidentally click a complication video with ‘WAP Challenge’ tiktoks, he was surprised that you showed up as one of the dancers.

↘ Your all movements were polished and super strong. You danced really great, better than Rin could ever have imagined. Dressed in black shorts and a gray top, you fit well with the sounds and voice of a female rapper, and as the cherry head knew English, his tongue automatically lick his lower lip.

↘ Hmm, I don’t think I need to add to this headcanon the fact that shortly after watching the short video with you about another 20 times, Rin put on his feet shoes and decided to go to your house.
