For summer break Momoe takes them to the lake to train while letting off excess energy. They're happy and excited on the bus during the trip, impatient to get there and let loose. Mihashi sits next to Tajima on the way there, at Tajima's insistence. Lately, Tajima has been paying Mihashi more attention, inviting him to join in more. It's nice, Mihashi thinks. It makes him feel like he belongs.
When they get there Mihashi follows Tajima to the top of a small hill, where the other boy stops the admire the view. The lake is beautiful, water glistening blue-green even on the cloudy day.
Tajima drops his towel to the ground, then removes his sunglasses and drops them on top. He turns to Mihashi, grinning. "Race you to that buoy." He challenges, and is off like a shot before Mihashi can even think about responding.
Mihashi quickly removes his shirt and follows, hard on Tajima's heels. They reach the water with Mihashi a step behind Tajima, who dives right in. Mihashi follows suit and comes up spluttering at the sudden chill. There's no time to complain, however, as Tajima is ahead of him, gaining a lead from his pause.
Tajima tags the buoy a few seconds before Mihashi, laughing and out of breath. His smile is so infectious that Mihashi laughs as well, paddling to stay afloat. He has water in his ears and his nose, and his hair is not doubt a scraggly mess. Tajima's normally wild hair is flat on his head, water is dripping down his face from it, and his eyes are shining.
Abruptly, Tajima leans in and presses his mouth to Mihashi's.
Mihashi freezes, flushing a bright red. When Tajima pulls away Mihashi sinks under the water, forgetting to paddle. He gasps and chokes, swallowing water. "Hey!" Says Tajima, grasping at him and pulling him over to cling to the buoy. Mihashi coughs, not looking at him.
"Mihashi." Tajima starts, sounding concerned.
"Tajima." Says Mihashi after a moment, looking up. He is smiling acceptance, although his face is undeniably red. Tajima smiles back, delighted.
"Hey!" Abe calls from shore. "We're having lunch!"
Tajima waves. "We're coming!" He calls, then turns back to the still blushing Mihashi. "Race you!" He grins, fleeting and immediate, and takes off.
Mihashi follows.
