[free] Sharks and Dolphins

On the bus of Samegara Academy, two team members met and muttered in low voices.

"Hey, isn't the new guy called Matsuoka really good? Why wasn't he selected for the relay?"

"Tch, him?" A disdainful laugh came, "Where is it so good? But because of his good freestyle results, I understand this kind of rookie best. He only cares about himself and rushes forward, and has no sense of teamwork. How could he be selected to participate in the relay race? Impossible!"

"It's not bad, I just said why there is no him... Hey, are the things almost packed? Let's go, the minister has been down for a while."

"Understood, wait for me."

The two people who hurriedly left didn't realize that the person they were talking to was also behind them, and Rin overheard all of these words.

Rin sat on a chair and looked ahead, her red pupils were cold.The minister didn't let him participate in the relay race because of this reason.

Nitori sitting next to him also heard the conversation, and said kindly: "Senior Rin, cheer up, there is also a relay race in the national competition, our school will definitely be able to advance, and you will have the opportunity to participate then. So senior, forget today Let’s try our best to participate in freestyle swimming..."

"Shut up!" Rin bypassed the chattering Niao, and angrily got out of the car.

Noisy swimming pool, hypocritical cheering, irritated heads... Standing in front of the diving platform, Rin felt resistant to the competition for the first time.

A gentle female voice was speaking on the radio: "The third group of preliminary selection for the men's 100-meter swimming competition."

At the moment when he bent down, he heard his sister cheering in a trance.

"Get ready!" The referee's voice came from afar.

Rin was a little distracted looking at the water, and the whistle sounded!

Take off slow!

At the moment when he fell into the water, he never felt that swimming was so hard. All the competitors in front of him confirmed this sentence, "You are just like this."

The result of the race...he was last.

He knew the ending when his palm touched the end sensor.The water in the swimming pool covered his face, and the water dripped down his hair and wet his eyes.All the contestants left. He grabbed the edge of the swimming pool and wanted to go ashore. It was ridiculous that he failed to go up with his arms for the first time.

The second time continued, when his knee was about to touch the ground, his arm softened, and he fell into the pool again.

Soaking in the icy water, Rin suddenly thought of Haruka and Makoto, and Makoto would reach out and hold Haruka every time he came ashore.Rin thought a little fragilely, if there was someone who could reach out to him like Makoto did when he went ashore, how good it would be?

Rin lowered his head, reached out and wiped the water on his face, he struggled a few times, and climbed onto the bank.The fragility of wanting to be pulled by someone just now flashed by, Rin shook his head to drive this thought out of his mind.When he decided to go to Australia alone, when he decided to come to Shagara Academy alone, he was doomed. He should have expected the bitterness of tasting failure alone.

"Rin!" With a cry, Haruka quickly chased after him.

"Don't worry about me." Rin turned around and left the arena completely wet.

"Rin! Wait for me!" Haruka didn't listen to him, and followed him.

"Don't worry about me!" He took off his swimming goggles, strode away, and even began to speak nonsense, "Anyway, my strength is only like this, so I was kicked out of the relay team! Is it funny to see me fail? ?”

"I won't." Haruka wanted to hold Rin back, but Rin was getting too angry, and Haruka had no choice but to follow along.

He didn't want Yao to see his loss at all. Once he was happy because he won Yao, but he was beaten back to his original form in an instant. He was so sad that he said the words three years ago: "Everyone said Don't follow me, I will never swim again!"

Yao squeezed into his changing room, and said calmly: "Liar, I've heard this sentence before. When you lost to me in junior high, you said you would never swim again. You can swim well now."

cold:"……"

He froze for a moment when he was putting on the T-shirt, and turned around in surprise, when did Haruka become so eloquent?

"It's not the first time you've lost a game, so there's nothing to worry about." Yao's original intention was to comfort, but when the words came to his lips, it turned into this.

He ignored the concern on Yao's face, and said with a dark face: "Laugh at me as much as you want, I don't know anything anyway."

Unexpectedly, Yao came up to him, pulled down the T-shirt covering his eyes, and said very seriously: "How come, Rin is so powerful."

He sneered: "Yeah, he was so good that he lost the game, and he was also removed from the team in the relay race!"

"cold……"

As soon as Matsuoka Rin raised his eyes, he met a pool of blue eyes, which flickered as if they were about to shed tears. The owner of the eyes said, "I want to swim with you."

He was stunned when he put on his clothes, put his hands on Yao's upturned face, lowered his head and asked seriously: "Are you serious?"

"Well," the pure eyes of the man in front of him are too pure to tolerate impurities, "I don't want to be separated from you, I want to swim with Rin."

The T-shirt in his hand was thrown aside, Rin suddenly hugged the person in front of him, buried his face on the other's shoulder, and said hoarsely: "I want to swim too, and I don't want to be separated from you."

Rin closed her eyes and tightened her arms, tears streaming silently down Haruka's neck.

Yao, do you know how long I have been waiting for your words?Why can you witness my failure and say you want to swim with me?Why such a coincidence?Every time you take me out of the trough?

"Haru, I have a request..." Rin whispered, the hot air blowing in Haruka's ear, causing the person in his arms to struggle slightly.

Unable to guess what it was, Yao nodded uncertainly.

"I..." Rin looked at the pink lips that were close at hand, again and again, they should be as soft and warm as imagined.

"Do you like me?" Rin asked.

The blue-haired boy replied without hesitation: "I like it."

"How much do you like it?" he asked.

"Same as Nagisa."

"What about Makoto?"

remote:"……"

silence.

Rin looked away from Haruka's mouth, like a big dog, buried his head in Haruka's neck sullenly: "Let me hug for a while."

The lips rubbed against the delicate and fair neck vaguely.

The four words "I like you" could not be said to Yao in the end.

Sharks chase their dreams, while dolphins want to be free. The two are different creatures, and they pursue different things.That's why it is said that the love between dolphins and sharks was just an accident.What's more, when the shark came back to his senses, the dolphins would have already had other patron saints around them.

Holding Haruka, Rin remembered what they had said.

When he was in elementary school, he said stinkingly: "If you are willing to swim together, I will let you see scenery that you have never seen before."

Sakura flew by, and he heard Haruka say yes.

In high school, Haruka crawled out of the pool like a mermaid, and challenged him: "Let me see the scenery at that time again, I don't remember what I saw last time."

He remembered that he laughed happily at that time, as if his blood was about to boil: "Ah, I will let you see it. But it is different from that time, it is a more dazzling scenery!"

Rin sometimes regrets that she likes these two words, but after all, she can't say it to Haruka.

What was it that delayed this sentence?Is it his distance or Makoto's company?Is it his dream or Yao just doesn't care?When he came back to his senses, he realized that there was Zhenqin beside Yao, the one who guarded him wholeheartedly and never played tricks on him.

Thinking of this, he let go of Haruka, picked up the T-shirt on the ground and put it on.

The lips parted, but no sound came out: Haruka, I like you.I hope you didn't hear me.

It was just an accident that the dolphin and shark fell in love.

After going out, the man with glasses found him and said that he was willing to leave the Iwatobi High School relay spot to him.

Afterwards, Rin was a little concerned about the reaction of Iwatobi High School, after all, he made Iwatobi High School disqualified from the competition.After the game, Rin found Haruka at the door and they apologized.

A few of them were lowering their heads, being reprimanded by the young teacher.

"Really, I don't want to care about you anymore!" The teacher is good-looking, with a nice voice, and he is also weak and weak when teaching people.

Rin went to apologize to them: "I'm sorry, I went too far."

"No, we are all happy to be able to swim with Rin!" Nagisa is always an optimist, and at the end, he asked, "Teacher, do you think so?"

"I'm too lazy to bother you." The teacher turned his head angrily.

Rin looked over and met Shangyao's gaze: "Thank you."

Haruka has helped him so much, and it seems like he has never said thank you to Haruka.

"Ah." The other party nodded, as a response.

Rin pulled his hat and found that the man with glasses who had quarreled with him was looking at him with an expression of "I am willing".

Even if he left, they finally found a new partner, and Rin gave the glasses man a provocative smile, showing sharp shark teeth.

"Men with glasses, don't hold Yao back!"

"I'm not the man with glasses, I'm Rei Ryuzaki!" An exasperated roar came from behind.

He nodded, Ryuzaki, very good.

The swimming club of Iwatobi High School is also very good.

But no matter how good Iwatobi High School is, it can't change the fact that he is a student of Shagara Academy. What's more, his dream is still far away in the sky.

That was once his father's dream, but now, it has become his dream too.

Rin turned around and strode away, lowered her peaked cap, and put her hands in her pockets. After this defeat, she was no longer confused.

Behind him, Makoto looked at Haruka, smiling like an archangel.

"On the dusty road of life, I lost my heart and you picked it up.

I sought joy and found sorrow, and the sorrow you brought me became the joy of my life.

My wish was shattered, but you gathered its fragments and connected them with your love.

As I wander from door to door, every step leads me to your door. "

--Finish

The author has something to say: only the first season is written. As for the bond between Rin and Zongsuke in the second season, it is another story.

, Rin has a stubborn temper, weaker than anyone else, but also stronger than anyone else, maybe this is also the origin of his attackable and acceptable attributes.Fortunately, Rin later had Zongsuke, the person who understood him best.Otherwise, with Rin's stubborn character, the way forward would be too lonely and miserable.
