Let it go Rin

Rin went around a corner of the backstage area of the swim meet and spotted Haru. He was about to shout out when he noticed something was "off" about Haru. Only his closest friends would have recognized the look. Haru was upset. Rin was pleased he was one of the few who could tell. And yet he hesitated to go forward. The hesitation cost him, like always, Makoto came around the other corner. Rin shrunk back into the shadows. Makoto greeted his lover and Haru turned his head away. Makoto with a gentle look on his face turned Haru's face back around. He said something comforting and finished with a peck on his lips. Haru fell into his chest and they hugged. Makoto cuddled his boyfriend and Haru curled into his warmth.

Rin felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned and saw Sousuke with his finger across his lips in the "shh" sign. Sousuke beckoned to Rin to leave. They moved further down the hall and out of sight.

"Just what were you going to do Rin?" Asked Sousuke quietly as the halls echoed.

"I was going to go to him…" Rin sighed "…but his boyfriend was there before me."

"It's a boyfriend's job." Replied Sousuke.

"I don't get it, Haru won his race."

"But Makoto lost."

"…"

"I ask you again. Rin what were you going to do?"

"I don't know."

Rin sunk to the floor and Sousuke sat down next to him.

"Why does he like that big dork?" Asked Rin, frustrated.

"After witnessing such a scene you still don't know? Then Makoto isn't the dork, you are."

"Shut up Sousuke." Said Rin, quietly.

Sousuke had to smile at that, Rin was too cute when he pouted.

"Let it go Rin. Haru loves him, his dorkiness and all. That's what love is."

Rin sighed and leaned against Sousuke's chest, Sousuke wrapped his arms around Rin's shoulders. Sousuke tilted Rin's face and looked deeply into his eyes. Rin got lost in the deep emotions swirling in Sousuke's pretty green eyes.

"Let Haru go Rin. Let him go and be with the one who loves you very much."

"Who?" Squeaked out Rin, though he knew the answer.

"I love you Rin. I love everything about you. Everything from your pretty red hair all the way down to your flat feet."

Sousuke kissed Rin gently and said:

"I love how you make me laugh."

Another kiss.

"I love your passion and how deeply you care."

This kiss went on for a bit longer as Rin sighed into it.

"I even love your temper and stubbornness."

Sousuke's next kiss was soft and lingering and Rin clung to him.

"Could you like me back a little?" Asked Sousuke.

Rin curled into Sousuke strong chest and nodded his head.

"I already do."

Sousuke cuddled Rin, pleased with his success.

"I don't want to stop being his friend." Said Rin.

"You can still be his friend, just stop thinking of him that way."

Rin looked up with pursed lips and half closed eyes. Sousuke knew he wanted to be made to forget. Sousuke vowed to erase those feelings with his body.

They kissed and hugged for a while until they heard the announcement for the awards ceremony. Rin needed to go back. On their walk back to the team, Rin agreed to go out with Sousuke.
