@samezukashark

[ FIVE TEXTS ]  send for five unsent texts from the receiver and one sent text. 

ONE.

One of the first texts he tried to send when he first got his phone was not long after Rin had left for Australia and they had all entered middle school. He had kept his number this whole time but was unable to make use of it until now, what with not having a cell phone and all.

Honestly, he was unsure of what to even say. All he could do for a while was stare at the screen as he tried to shake off the nerves.

[ TO: RIN ] Hey, Rin! It's Makoto, I finally got a phone. How's Australia?

His hands stop just as he's about to hit send, and he suddenly feels very silly.

It's not like the redhead would be able to receive his message anyway, all the way in Australia. The brunet lets out a little sigh as a sudden emptiness fills his heart.

[ DRAFTED ]

TWO.

The summer heat was practically at its peak now, and it had been a while since him and Haru finally gave in to their middle school swim team.

But everything had not been going smoothly, neither for him nor his dolphin friend.

Everything felt so difficult, heavy and confusing. It was nothing at all like their medley race with Rin in elementary school. He had so many questions, and zero answers.

Did he really like swimming? Was it something he could see himself doing in the longterm?

If only he had more resolve. If only he was like Rin and Haru. They knew what they wanted.

[ TO: RIN ] It's been a while. Haru and I joined our middle school swim team's relay team. ... It's not the same without you or Nagisa though...

Once more, he hesitates. Even if Rin can't receive his messages, he shouldn't dump his problems on him.

[ DRAFTED ]

THREE.

It was now winter break, a few months after their middle school swim relay.

Makoto had just spent hours trying to understand what had happened to Haru, who had returned home extremely distressed. The little dolphin refused to speak to him, however, and he was starting to grow desperate.

So imagine his shock when he finally managed to get his beloved friend to speak, only to find out the redhead had returned.

Not only had he returned from Australia without contacting any of them, but he had challenged Haru to a race and consequently declared his intention to quit swimming.

And thus Haru's emotional declaration to quit as well.

Having been sent away by the dolphin, Makoto just sat on the steps of his home, shaky hands holding his phone once more.

[ TO: RIN ] I heard you came back. Why didn't you say anything to any of us?

A pause.

... Are you really going to quit swimming?

Suddenly, the screen becomes blurry and he realizes he's been fighting back tears.

Why was everything falling apart?

[ DRAFTED ]

FOUR.

Years have gone by since his friends' fallout, and he can't remember the last time he'd been in the water.

To be honest, he kind of missed it. And he hated seeing Haru wallowing in the bathtub every morning. He could tell just how much it was affecting the other to give up something he was so passionate about, leaving behind a dear friendship in the process.

They were about to start their second year, yet everything felt frozen in place.

As he watched the dolphin's back while they parted ways at the foot of his home once more, Makoto couldn't help but feel an ache in his heart at the emptiness he felt from the other.

The next thing he knows, he's staring once more at a number on his phone that he had not dared to open in quite a while.

[ TO: RIN ] It's been a while. I hope you are doing well in Australia. Haru still hasn't continued swimming since last time.

His hands tighten around his phone.

I wish you'd come back and resolve things again.

How ridiculous.

He had no right to be asking anything from the other, especially after such a long time. Haru did say that he could be too meddlesome at times.

[ DRAFTED ]

FIVE.

He still couldn't believe it.

The last thing he expected when Nagisa had convinced him and Haru to go back to their old abandoned swim club to retrieve their old trophy, was to run into their long-lost friend after such a long time.

Rin was actually back. But... something had changed. He was not the same cheery and sentimental Rin that he remembered.

He was different.

Makoto had never seen the redhead so filled with rage, so resentful. And the thing was, he couldn't tell if those feelings were aimed at himself or at them. Either way, he couldn't bear to see his dear friend in such a state after so long. Especially since it was clearly affecting Haru terribly as well.

What had happened in Australia?

But if the shark had come back for the trophy, surely he still cared about their friendship. There should still be some hope... Right?

[ TO: RIN ] Why didn't you say that you had come back to Iwatobi? Does this mean you're going to keep swimming after all? ... I've been so worried.

He'd never felt so helpless before. He just wanted to fix everything between them, to go back to the way things were before.

He just wanted to see Rin and Haru smile again.

But what could he possibly do?

[ DRAFTED ]

SIX.

Makoto let out a sigh as he finally left his last class of the day, taking a moment to enjoy the sunshine as he stepped outside onto the Tokyo streets.

It had taken him some time to finally get used to his busy schedule, with all his classes and his part time job taking quite a bit of his time. But despite it all, he was the happiest he'd been in a long time.

Although he had finally given up swimming competitively, opting instead to focus on coaching, he was more than happy to see his friends succeeding and being able to pursue their own dreams. They didn't get many chances to meet due to their differing lifestyles, unfortunately, but he couldn't complain.

Haru and Rin were working hard to achieve their olympic goals, and he would support them wholeheartedly.

Besides, it's not like they never got to meet anymore. Haru was still a big part of his life in Tokyo and they got to spend time together almost any chance they got.

As for Rin...

Well his visits from Australia were always a joy. It was as if he had never left, really.

And today would be no different.

He felt a surge of excitement as he pulled out his phone, knowing full-well that his fiery friend had arrived in Tokyo just two days ago.

[ TO: RIN ] I have the day free tomorrow! Want to go to the aquarium with me? There's something I'd really like to show you.

The gentle giant smiles as he reads over his message. It felt nice being able to text the other so freely now.

samezukashark said:“He’s still collecting stag beetles? Geez... Oh, Ai. You might need to check your letters. I got something for ya. It should have arrived by now.”

Ai huddles the phone a little closer to his ear, holding it with both hands. “My letters? Wait--” the way he smiles wide is evident in his voice, even through the phone, as he gets up and toes on a pair of hall sandals, “That’s generous of you, Rin-senpai. You didn’t have to get me anything.” 

He collects his keys, and meanders down the hallway toward the mailroom. A bit of shuffling, and he’s collected a letter; seeing Rin’s name on top of an Australian address makes him smile. “It feels light. Did you write something?”

[orcx-nus]

“How spicy can I make this?”

all things cooking / baking … sentence starters

@samezukashark

"Hmm..."

The brunet wasn't exactly known for being a picky eater - rather, Haru often made little jabs at him for being quite the opposite, a ravenous eater. But he did have some preferences.

Although he could handle some spice, it wasn't exactly his favorite thing to have. And definitely not a lot of it.

In this case, however, he was willing to give a little leeway. Rin didn't get many chances to share a meal with him, after all.

"Do you like spicy things, Rin? I wouldn't mind at least a little bit."

Maybe Makoto wasn't the best person to ask, though.

[orcx-nus]

"He's a ten." That's it.

Send “They’re ’s a 10, but..” and fill in the rest to call out my muse!

@samezukashark

"Eh? Who's a ten?"

Makoto looks extremely confused.

He clearly doesn't get it. If he did, however, he'd be blushing.

[orcx-nus]

Instead of using the meme, Rin just kabedons Makoto with a nonchalant look in his eyes yet a mild frown on his lips.

"That's for carrying me like we're in some cheesy drama show." He absolutely did not watch them to know that.

PIN MY MUSE

@samezukashark

The shock of it all catches him visibly off guard, leaving him defenseless enough to allow the smaller man to push him with ease. Though, even if he had been fully alert, Rin might have been strong enough to still manage to push the brunet in such a manner.

It's not until a few moments after his back his the wall that his mind finally catches up with the situation, and his cheeks rapidly flush a bright red. He doesn't know what's more embarrassing here -- the position itself or the fact that he was overpowered despite their drastic size difference.

"I-I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking at the time!" he manages to stammer out in response.

Feeling the humiliation continue to grow, Makoto's hands quickly make their way up to hide his burning face.

He'd have to hand it to the shark, this was pretty good revenge.

[orcx-nus]

𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐅𝐅 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒

[ SOUND ] sender joins receiver in silence

@samezukashark

He couldn't remember the last time he was able to just sit down and... think.

In a bustling city like Tokyo, it was extremely rare to find quiet moments like these. The air was fresh and breezy for once, reminding him much of his time at Iwatobi, and he felt his body relax. As he sat on the park bench, staring at the sky with the light sound of children playing in the park, something tugged at his heart.

Sadness? Melancholy?

It was hard to put a word to it. He wasn't exactly upset, after all, but somehow he still felt a little emotional. An almost sinking feeling.

Just as he was about to start spiraling, he feels a presence by his side.

Looking over, he's met with ruby red eyes and silky burgundy hair, another rare but familiar sight. And instantly, he's at ease.

No words are uttered between them yet, but somehow it doesn't feel like they're needed. With their busy schedules and Rin's constant travel for training, it wasn't often they got to spend time together, just the two of them.

Yet his presence always seemed to bring him joy. Memories of the good old days.

He smiles at the fiery shark, and hopes his silent message is heard loud and clear.

Thank you.

[orcx-nus]

“Tsk.” He places a hand on his hip. Rin then uses his other hand to poke Makoto’s chest. “You. I’m talking about you, Makoto.”

@samezukashark

Makoto flinches a little at the small jab to his chest, not necessarily because it hurt but rather because it was unexpected.

Emerald eyes continued to display his confusion as he tried to piece all the statements together. And then, it clicked.

Realization very visibly grows on his face, followed quickly by a sudden sense of embarrassment as the tips of his ears gained a newfound rosy tint.

"E-Eh?! A-Ah, I d-didn't..."

Words seem to stumble out of his mouth without any particular purpose as his hands flailed around him, never quite being able to complete a thought or sound in his flustered state.

"... I-I'm sorry!"

Yup, definitely oblivious, that he couldn't deny.

[orcx-nus]

"Scratch that, he's a ten but is oblivious."

Send “They’re ’s a 10, but..” and fill in the rest to call out my muse!

@samezukashark

"A-Ah... um, who are you talking about, Rin?"

He still doesn't get it. Guess there's no denying his obliviousness.

[orcx-nus]

∗ 18﹕ sender comes to receiver after being injured . // Yo?? Rin getting into street fights? Yes.

𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝑵𝑶𝑵𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑩𝑨𝑳 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑻𝑺 .

@samezukashark

Of all things to be met with, the last thing he ever expected on his way home was to run into the redheaded shark, lip bloodied and clothes in disarray.

The shock of it all made Makoto freeze on the spot, heart dropping and eyes wide as he took in the sight before him. It was obvious by the bruises and roughed up appearance that the other had been in a fight, or at least been attacked in some form.

"Rin!"

Finally snapping back to reality, the brunet wasted no time in rushing to the shark's side, arms carefully reaching out to hold him steady.

"What happened to you?! Who did this?!"

The orca could feel a strange sensation begin to bubble up dangerously within him, one he rarely ever felt and had only experienced whenever Haru's happiness was threatened.

Rage.

Haru had once teasingly described it to him as 'mama bear instincts,' the urge to protect his dear ones so strong that it became threatening. And that is exactly what he was feeling now. All he could think of as he clasped onto the other's shoulders, grip unknowingly tightening as he wallowed in the thought, was how much he wanted to find whoever had caused this damage.

And teach them a lesson himself. One they would never forget.

But as he continued to look over Rin's injured face, he managed to reel himself back in. At least for the moment.

There were more pressing matters at hand.

"... We need to get your injuries looked at right away! I have a first aid kid at my place. Can you walk a little further?"

[orcx-nus]

🎈 incoming-

summer prompts

🎈 or [BALLOON] for the sender to throw a water balloon at the recipient

@samezukashark

Makoto barely managed to look up at the sound of a small commotion, just in time to see what appeared to be a red ball headed his way and raise his arm to protect his face right before it hit.

SPLASH!

He stood there frozen in place for a few seconds, hair dripping wet and letting the reality of the situation sink in for a moment.

With how fast everything developed he obviously didn't have time to properly analyze the so-called ball, which clearly turned out not to be a ball at all but rather a balloon filled with water. Not that it would have made much of a difference anyway. It's not like he had had much time to duck out of the way.

Either way, now he stood with his upper half generously soaked as the shock finally began to wear off.

Eventually lowering his arm, the towering brunet blinked a few times as he scanned the area from which the ballon had come, hoping to find the culprit. Imagine his surprise when he found--

"Rin?! What was that for?"
