"YES YES YES!" Nagisa could hear cries from Haru's room.

"HARU?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?!" Nagisa squealed.

"Don't worry," Makoto sighed, looking tired as he walked out of Haru's room. "He's just dreaming about water again."
"He always had a strange thing about water," Nagisa thought aloud. "And yet he doesn't want to swim competitively anymore."

"He doesn't swim competitively, but that doesn't stop him from loving water," Makoto told him. "I was going to walk to school with him the other day. I went into the bathroom because I could hear splashing. He was trying to swim in the bath, swimsuit and everything."

"YOU WENT INTO THE BATHROOM WHILE HE WAS IN THE BATH?!" Nagisa cried. "YOU COULD HAVE SEEN HIM NAKED!"

"That was the point," Makoto admitted. "He went into the kitchen to make breakfast and when I came in to check on him he was trying to swim in a glass of water."

"Oh, Haru," Nagisa shook his head glumly.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" They heard a yell from the room. Hurrying in, they saw Haru sitting upright in bed, sweating, eyes wide.

"What's wrong, Haru-chan?" asked Makoto, sitting next to him and putting his arm around him.

"I woke up, and I wasn't swimming!" Haru panted.

Makoto and Nagisa avoided each others eyes, fighting back laughter.

"Haru-kun, why don't we all take a nice cold shower."

Before they could even process what was happening, Haru was naked and in the shower.

"On second thought, I think I'll go and get a pedicure. You coming?" Nagisa asked.

"No... I think I'll stay here and... keep an eye on Haruka..." Makoto gazed absent-mindedly at the bathroom door.
