Testing the Waters

Her growth spurt started to fuck his life.

Rin, contrary to popular belief, wasn't just a set of shark teeth. He was a boy, a boy with a heart, a heart acute to all emotions, emotions including affection and murder.

True, he might not be the likes of Nagisa, who was altogether made of soft, mushy fluff it was a wonder how he could stay at water in one piece, or that clown freak Makoto who never got tired of smiling, and definitely not like Haru, whose emotions were so alienated he chose to portray them stoically. No, he was way beyond that. In fact, he believed he was made of more than all of them.

But he wasn't altogether complex. Rin liked to believe that he was simple. When he was angry, he was simply angry and when Rin is angry, it was sure that his fists would fly into someone else's face. When he was happy, well, he might not grin a lot, but he'd smile too, especially when Gou would crack a joke or two. When he was sad he'd chose a far corner of a room or better yet some deserted pool and he'd dive in and do laps until he was out of breath.

He was simple.

But Gou was another story. If only girls were so simple like this, life could've been easier, but no, they weren't. Gou was a girl, and Gou was as complex as any breathing technique he encountered.

Partially he blamed her. Gou liked to follow him around since they were little, always tugging the hem of his shirt, always asking if he was fine or not, always worrying about him. He was basked with her love and attention, and he liked it, loved it, and possessively owned her. He was spoiled in the most likely terms by his baby sister.

But that was way back then, before she started growing up.

It was late when he realized she was gaining looks because she'd grown an ass and her shirt had been too tight for her chest.

Her growth spurt started to fuck his life.

She was Gou. He was hers. No one's going to lay a finger on his baby sister. Not a fucking chance at all.

Until she foolishly became Iwatobi's manager.

At first Rin thought it would be perfectly innocent. Haru was nowhere interested in girls, as far as he knew. He was too sexually in love with water for the moment. Nagisa was a great teddy bear to be interested in girls too. Rei. . . Rei was too serious for silly things like girls, and Makoto, that smiling freak, was too immersed being a smiling captain to Iwatobi to mind someone attractive like his baby sister existing.

How fucking son of bitches they are.

It started with those cutesy stupid pet names.

He was flipping through random channels seemingly one ordinary Sunday morning when his baby sister walked in front of him, sporting a red one piece bikini. Grinning, she twirled around, as if to proudly show him how cute she was.

"How was it, Onii-chan?" she pouted. As much as Rin liked to sing praises to Gou, encouraging her would only make things worse. He was sure she'd wear them on some random beach and boys would be sure to swarm around her, so instead he shrugged.

"Too red." he grumbled under his breath. Gou pouted.

"Ama-sensei said it's cute." she said "Mou, Nagisa-san said it suits me. Mako-kun even said I looked good with red"

He easily shrugged. Makoto was a real slacker—

Wait.

What?

Mako?

Gou called Makoto Mako?

He looked at her as she absentmindedly pulled some of her burgundy strands straying on her shoulder, her eyes bordered on some oblivion nonexistent to him.

Mako?

Since when did they become so intimately close? Rin didn't really want to mind, since everyone had affectionately called the captain of the Iwatobi Mako. But it was a different thing now since it was Gou. Gou in the first place is his baby sister, and Gou is a girl, and Gou, his baby sister, calling some stupid, pool freak guy by his cutesy nickname. . .

He would kill that damn freak. He would really, really kill him.

"Oh, I nearly forgot. Mako-kun says hello to you." she said over her shoulder as she went for the stairs.

As if that stupid cutesy pet name wasn't enough to set Rin off the edge, phone calls started pestering his life.

He was on his way to the kitchen for some water when he heard Gou's animated little voice on the phone. Intrigued on who might be calling his baby sister so late in the evening, he leaned on her bedroom door and took the risk of eavesdropping.

"Haru-senpai, I told you it's better with tomatoes." she hissed. A moment of silence, he heard her sigh exasperatedly.

"Mou, Haru-senpai. You like mackerel too much, you know."

Giggle. Silence, then another giggle.

"No, I don't want a mackerel. But, yeah, I do think that a treat after school sounds better too."

A snicker, then another giggle.

"That's a deal then, no take backs!"

It took a lot of effort not to punch a hole in the wall. The next time he sees Haru, he'd make sure he'd carve a hole in his motherfucker's face.

If he could only box his baby sister inside him, he would definitely do so. But he can't. And so he gritted his teeth.

Rin could only mutter fuck consecutively at the sight before him. Seijuuro was blushing, the good for nothing son of a bitch was smiling upon the sight of his baby sister.

Fuck.

If that fucking whore Seijuuro wouldn't stop showing his abs with that sick perverted smile of his then he'd sooner run because he wouldn't mind showing the birdbrain his other side. The hell with him being the captain! He could swim better than him, for heaven's sake! And why Gou of all people? There are hell bent girls crazy for him, why would he choose his baby sister?

"Onii-chan?" her voice peeked through his clouded thoughts. Rin spat angrily before he turned at her.

"Why are you here?" he said as he cracked his knuckles. There was no way Seijuuro would hit his baby sister so easily.

"I was actually spying." she giggled. "Iwatobi would be better with a handful of juicy information from other schools, hmm?"

He scoffed. She really didn't need to. Makoto and Haru would be as ruthless as competition with or without information.

"I'm sure we would be your toughest competition, Gou-chan." Seijuuro butted in. When she faced and gave him a warm smile Rin had to eat away his rage as he saw his cheeks positively turned beet red.

Fuck all of them.

There was no way Gou would be laid. No one would hit her, not until Rin Matsuoka lives.

Or so he thought.

This fandom's killing me literally.

I'd be happy and kill a hundred Titans if you could review.
