The Fever
"Haruka-Senpai!!" "Haru-Chan!" "HARU!!" How had it all come to this? Why was this happening? "Get down Haru!!" Makoto shouted, the smaller man slowly glanced behind him but didn't listen, turning back around and jumping into the water, "HARU!!" Makoto shouted again, racing down the peer and trying desperately to get to the ocean before it was too late, "HARU!" Nagisa gasped and turned around, "R-Rin-Chan! Haru-Chan's lost it! He dove into the ocean even in this storm!" "What!?" he frowned, gritting his teeth as he rushed to the edge of the peer, "How did this happen...?"

Two days earlier

"Ah Haru-Chan, are you ready for tommorrow?" Nagisa smiled as he looked over at his freind, the blue-eyed swimmer looked up breifly, his expression unchanging, "....What's tommorrow?" "W-Wah-!? It's the biology test we've been studying for all week! How could you forget!?" he cried, "I didn't forget- I never paid attention in the first place," he corrected as he moved the pan over the stove, "H-Haruka-Senpai... with all due respect how are you going to pass if you don't study?" Rei asked quietly, "Ah Haru never studies actually," Makoto noted with a hint of embarressment, "W-What?! Then how does he pass any of his classes!?" "Mako-Chan and I have been wondering that for years," Nagisa added, "We think he might have a photographic memory or something, it seems like as long as the book is open he's able to pass tests and such- even verbal ones- despite barely glancing at it, much less paying attention," Makoto scratched his cheek nervously, Rei gulped and looked down, "I-I ... I have to study like a madman every day to keep my grades up... Haruka-Senpai is so talented..." he muttered to himself, "I think you're giving Haru a little too much credit..." Makoto mumbled, Haru suddenly paused in his cooking, turning and sneezing harshly, "Hm? Are you alright?" Rei asked worriedly, "Fine," he replied, barely able to turn back around before he was hit with another sneeze, "Ah! Rin-Chan must be really talking up a storm about you if you're sneezing so much!" Nagisa said brightly, Makoto frowned, obviously not buying it as he rushed to his teammate's side during a third sneeze, "What's that saying? Sneeze once and they're saying something bad but twice for something good? Three times they love you?" Nagisa asked, "Er... I believe you're mistaken... if I'm correct it's sneezing once for something good, twice for something bad, and a third time means you have a cold..." Rei chimed in shyly as he adjusted his glasses, "Are you alright Haru?" Makoto asked worriedly as he cautiously placed a hand on Haru's shoulder, "Fine," he replied calmly as he turned back to his cooking, Makoto sighed, resembling an exasperated mother as he placed his hands on his hips, "Maybe you should eat something besides mackarel for once, I know fish is good for you but if you don't get enough vitamen C you're going to get sick..." he pointed out, Haru glanced behind him and slowly moved towards the refridgerator, grabbing an orange and walking back to the stove, the three other swim team members all watched curiously as he sliced up the orange... and placed it in the pan, "I-I didn't mean to add vitamen C to your mackarel! I meant you should eat something INSTEAD of mackarel!" Makoto cried, Haru just blinked slowly, like a cat finally giving it's trust to someone, before walking to the fridge and returning to the pan... with a second mackarel, "H-Haru you're really missing my point!"

~+~

"I'm worried about Haru," with the sudden statement the other three members of the swim team were forced to look up from what they were doing and stare over at their captain, "Why do you say that?" Gou asked curiously, "I think he's sick," "W-What?! Sick!? B-But how would Hauka-Senpai get sick?" she asked quietly, "Yeah! Haru-Chan's never sick!" Nagisa protested, "I don't know why else he'd be acting this strangely, besides it's a wonder he isn't sick more often than he is, he swims in cold weather, only eats fish, hardly maintains any healthy habbits..." he sighed, "Why do you think Haruka-Senpai is ill?" Rei asked as he adjusted his glasses, "Because of several reasons... to begin with he took much longer in the bath in the morning than he usually does," he began, "The fact that you know that is actually a little creepy..." Gou muttered to herself, "I had to call out to him four times before he finally looked at me and when he did he seemed startled, like he didn't know I was standing there, I think he had fallen asleep in the bath," "Wait.. you went in without nocking first?" Gou asked in shock, "Yes... Haru is... bad about opening the door in the mornings... but this was just different, then I noticed he didn't eat breakfast and I had to nearly beg him to share my lunch with me since he didn't bring his own," "But how do you know that Haruka-Senpai didn't just eat before you got there?" Rei pointed out, "Because I always have to clean up after him but the dishes were in the exact same places they were last night when I did them, and the kitchen didn't smell like mackarel either," he explained, "That is really weird..." Gou mumbled, "Yeah and Haru-Chan's usually the first one here but he isn't yet," Nagisa added, "What are you four talking about?" all four of them jumped slightly and turned around, "H-Haru-Chan! There you are! We were just wondering where you were!" Nagisa smiled as the dark-haired swimmer gave them a slightly confused look before jumping into the pool, "This is definately strange," Gou wispered, "Agreed, we should all go over to Haru's after school and make sure he's ok," Makoto agreed, "I can't, I have a dentist's appointment," Gou frowned, "That's ok Gou-Chan! We can look after Haru-Chan ourselves!" Nagisa smiled, "I told you to call me Kou!" she growled, Makoto sighed softly, "Don't we have other things to concentrate on...?" he muttered

~+~

The ticking of the clock as seconds went by was unnerving, the room was so unbearably quiet besides that ticking that even the most paitent of people could lose their minds, all this time everyone had been trying to keep an eye on Haru, try to find out if something was wrong or make sure he didn't do anything dangerous, and it was starting to take a toll, Makoto stood up suddenly and smiled softly, "Well, I think I'll go cook some mackarel, we'll all have some, would you like that Haru?" he smiled gently, Haru slowly glanced up, his blue eyes blinking slowly, "I don't want any, thank you," he said quietly as he went back to his homework, everyone in the room went from silence... to tense silence... "H-Haru..." Makoto wispered, "Haru-Chan..." Nagisa wispered, "Hm? What's wrong?" Rei asked in confusion, Haru stood up suddenly, "I'm going to put out milk for the cats," he said as he walked out of the main room, leaving Makoto and Nagisa looking as pale as ghosts, "Rei-Chan... you don't understand..." Nagisa muttered, "I've known Haru for twelve years now... he's never once turned down mackarel...." Makoto wispered back, "What? Not even once?" Rei asked in disbeleif, the tallest of the three shook his head, "No... I even remember once a few years ago Haru and I went to this new cafe' by the beach because we heard it served mackarel and it's the only resturaunt near by that serves it, he ate a big order of it and then when we went home my mom was cooking mackarel too... he stayed for dinner and had three servings," a look of pure horror and disgust washed over the ex-track athlete's face, "D-Didn't he get sick?" "No... but he was tense the rest of the night so I suspected he had a stomachache but he'd never admit it," Makoto sighed, "The only explinaition is that Haru-Chan's so sick he knows he'll get sick if he eats anything and then we'll know he's sick..." Nagisa observed, "I don't know for sure but whatever the reason it isn't good," Makoto frowned as Haru walked back into the house, "I'm going to take a bath," he said simply as he walked towards the bathroom, "H-Haru wait!" Makoto shouted as he grabbed the smaller man's arm, his eyes widening slightly, 'He's burning up...' he thought, slowly moving his hand down to Haru's, "H-Haru..." he said quietly, "I'm going to the bath," he repeated as he pulled his hand away, "H-Haru-Chan wait!" Nagisa cried as he ran after him and jumped on him, Haru merely sighed and tried to start batting the blonde off of him as he dragged himself to the bath, "Makoto-Senpai you should let Haruka-Senpai take a bath if he wants to, it may help bringing his fever down if it's cool," Rei suggested, Makoto shook his head, "No you don't understand.. Haru will fall asleep for sure, he's only been sick a few times since I've known him but every time he is he falls asleep whenever he gets in the bath, it's almost like he seeks out a little watery bed for himself.." Rei blinked, "Er.. in that case you should definately retrieve Haruka-Senpai then!" he replied as he stepped away, Makoto took a step forward to do just that wen suddenly Haru came running out of the bathroom with Nagisa still on his back apparently using his hair as a set of reigns, "....Perhaps we should stop them first..." "Agreed,"

~+~

"Oh Rei, how are Nagisa and Haru doing?" Makoto asked with a small smile as he stirred the pot in front of him, he turned and looked over his shoulder, seeing a terrified looking Rei standing behind him and blinking in confusion, "Rei? What's the matter?" he asked, "N-Nagisa-Kun... violated Haruka-Senpai in the most horrendous of ways..." he muttered, "W-What!?" "Ahhh Mako-Chan that smells delicious!" they heard, both looking to the entrance of the kitchen where Nagisa was skipping in, "N-Nagisa-Kun where is Haruka-Senpai?" Rei asked worriedly, "Hm? Oh I thought he was right behind me, I was just helping him into his pajamas..." he frowned suddenly, Makoto opened his mouth to speak but paused suddenly when he heard the water start, "A-AH! The bath tub!" he cried, "H-Haru-Chan no!" "Haruka-Senpai!" they all cried, running to the bathroom as they watched Haru begin ubuttoning his top before the tub, "N-No you can't!" "Haru stop!" "N-Nagisa-Kun took your swimsuit Haruka-Senpai! This is very indecent!"

"Haru please eat," Makoto frowned as he stared across the table at his freind, the blue-eyed teenager turned his head, looking away, "No thanks," he muttered, "Haru-Chan please! You really need to eat something!" Nagisa cried, "Haruka-Senpai you should eat, you'll never get better if you don't get nutrition!" Rei added, "It's fine, I'm fine," Haru muttered back, "Haru please eat just a little? It's soup so it shouldn't hurt your stomach," Haru barely glanced at Makoto, "I know it isn't fish but it's good for you, you really should eat it," there was a pause, Haru looking away again, "Haru please? For me?" Makoto begged, very slowly he glanced back at him, staring into his pleading green eyes before picking up his spoon, the other three swimmers waiting with baited breaths as he dipped the spoon into the bowl and brought a spoonfull of soup to his lips, "A-Ah thank you Haru!" "Haru-Chan is eating and it isn't even fish!" "T-Truly Makoto-Senpai has a magic way!" "You've all lost your minds," Haru muttered with the shake of his head, Makoto stood up and smiled, "Alright, now that you're eating we need to try to bring down your fever now," he smiled as he ran to the bathroom, searching through the medicine cabinet above the sink and grabbing a fever patch from the box, running back into the kitchen and smiling in releif at the fact that Haru was still eating, if not a bit reluctantly, he removed the back and walked behind Haru, lifting up his hair and placing the patch over his forehead, the smaller swimmer shivered slightly but otherwise had no reaction, 'I don't believe this... I think... he may actually be letting us take care of him...' Makoto thought with a small smile, Haru stood up suddenly, "I have to go to the restroom," he said as he walked away, Makoto sighed in releif and sat down at the table, "You sure are good at taking care of Haru-Chan Mako-Chan! What's your secret?" Nagisa smiled, "It's... an aquirred skill," he smiled softly, "You two act like this is a big deal, is Haruka-Senpai difficult when he's ill?" "Just a little bit," Makoto replied, they all paused, hearing the water in the bath tub start, "H-Haru-Chan no!!" Nagissa cried as he ran out of the kitchen, "M-Makoto-Senpai no disrespect but if this is your idea of a 'little bit' I'd hate to see what you think is REALLY difficult!" Rei screamed

~+~

"Brother!!! Big Brother!!" Rin looked up and turned around, "Ah Kou, what are you doing out here? It's really late," he frowned, "I brought you some soup! I know you never eat well so I thought I'd bring you some," she smiled as she handed the bag to her brother, "Oh thanks," "What have you got in there?" she hummed, pointing his shopping bag, "K-Kou no I-" "WHAT?!" she cried as she ripped the bag away and sifted through it, "Chips, soda, ramen... CHOCOLATE!?" "It's DARK chocolate so it's healthier!" "Chocolate is chocolate Rin! No wonder I'm always having to bring you food you can't live off of this!" she cried, he cringed and snatched it back, "I-I'm fine Kou," he muttered, "You are not! You're just lucky we're around or you'd end up sick like Haruka-Senpai!" Rin paused, half turned around to leave, "Haru... is sick?" "Yeah! The guys texted me earlier saying he was really sick and that they wouldn't be meeting me tommorrow, just lucky tommorrow's the weekend so they don't have to worry about school..." Rin frowned and wrinkled his nose, "Stop updating me on those guys, why do you think I care?" "B-Because they're my teammates! You should care! It's my life Rin!" "A-Ah sorry Kou.. I didn't mean it that way..." he muttered, "And they're still your freinds weather you like it or not! You better wish Haruka-Senpai well!" "Mm-hm, yeah right," he grumbled to himself, turning again, "I'll see you later Kou, I have to get going," he muttered, she frowned and sighed softly, "Ok..." she muttered

~+~

Fish... big and small and black and white.... in the ocean... rain.. raining everywhere in the bath... it's bad though... sand.... there's so much sand and it's between my toes... one fish two fish.... Seaworld.. that'd be nice.. with orcas and dolphins... dolphins ... sharks.. sharks and dolphins fight alot... butterflies and penguins.. where's the ice? Blue fish, red fish, staring... stars.... full body.... out there... bait... fishing... fishing for fish fish swimming with fish... mackarel... tuna.. lemon.. it's wrong... and nets.. so many.. with boats... they need us... help.... need your help Haru... Haru help..... help

Haru's bright blue eyes snapped open, he slowly got out of bed, shivering slightly, he dodged the bodies on the floor, his teammates having volunteered to sleep over to keep an eye on him, he didn't really notice them though, slowly grabbing a swimsuit from the closet since the one he had been wearing before had been confiscated beforehand, he went to the bathroom to put it on, slowly shutting the bathroom door and turning the bath water on quietly

~+~

"If I'm gonna beat Haru again I want it to be because I'm at my best, not because he's at his worst, but if he doesn't hurry up and get better that won't happen," Rin grumbled as he set the bag outside of the house, he had left it annonymously, just a jar of soup and some bread, it was from Gou for all they knew, and they had no reason to suspect it was him so he shouldn't worry, he wasn't doing this because he CARED either, it was just so when he beat Haru again he'd be absolutely certain that winning would be on HIS behalf, HIS skill, not because Haru was recovering still from some cold, he stared at the bag for a moment, slowly pushing it with his foot closer to the door so it'd be seen first thing in the morning when Makoto came over, "I shouldn't even be out this late," he grumbled with a yawn, rubbing the back of his neck as he walked away

~+~

Makoto groaned quietly and turned over, glancing up at the bed before him, expecting to see Haru's hand dangling over the edge like usual, but when he didn't see it he sat straight up, "H-Haru?" he muttered, moving closer and feeling the bed.. it felt empty... hurriedly he turned on the lamp and felt his heart pause, "H-HARU!?" he cried, rushing out of the room and to the bathroom, he slid the door open and for a moment felt releif at seeing the tub full and clothes on the floor... but with still no Haru he felt himself grow more and more worried, "R-REI!! NAGISA!!" he screamed as he started for the door, "W-Wah? Mako-Chan what's wrong?" "Haru is gone!" he replied, "W-What?!" Nagisa cried, scrambling to get up from the couch, "O-Ow Nagisa-Kun! That hurt!" Rei cried as he struggled after the blond, having already had difficulty squishing the two of them onto one couch, the sudden movement did not bode well for the taller of the two, "HARU!!" Makoto screamed as he ran out of the house, "Haru-Chan!!" "Haruka-Senpai!!" they all screamed as they ran, rushing down the streets and nearly nocking down Rin, who was sluggishly trying to get back home to sleep, the sudden noise jolting him to more alertness as he turned towards them, frowning, he was about to continue on when he really registered what was happening and began running after them, it was starting to rain, the wind had been blowing harshly for some time now but with Rin's heavy windbreaker it wasn't much concern, "Haruka-Senpai!!" "Haru-Chan!" "HARU!!" How had it all come to this? Why was this happening? "Get down Haru!!" Makoto shouted, the smaller man slowly glanced behind him but didn't listen, turning back around and jumping into the water, "HARU!!" Makoto shouted again, racing down the peer and trying desperately to get to the ocean before it was too late, "HARU!" Nagisa gasped and turned around, "R-Rin-Chan! Haru-Chan's lost it! He dove into the ocean even in this storm!" "What!?" he frowned, gritting his teeth as he rushed to the edge of the peer, "How did this happen...?" he breathed, gritting his teeth, he quickly ran to the edge of the peer, peeling off his jacket and kicking off his shoes, he quickly jumped into the water right after Makoto did, both of them swimming after the freestyle swimmer, "H-Haru-Chan!" Nagisa cried as he stepped forward, "No Nagisa-Kun!" Rei protested, grabbing his arm, "It's already too dangerous for Makoto-Senpai and Matsuoka-San to be out there, we don't need to add a third to the list! Even if you're worried about Haruka-Senpai they're the stronger swimmers!" he protested, his grip tight on Nagisa's arm, the shorter of the two stared up at him, "Rei-Chan...." he wispered, looking into his worried eyes and reluctantly stepping back, moving slightly so that Rei's hand was wrapped around his as they both stood back and waited anxiously for their freinds

In the mean time Rin and Makoto were battling sea waves, trying desperately to see in the dark and find where Haru had gone to, "I don't see him!" Makoto coughed as he struggled against the waves, Rin gritted his teeth, "Go back to shore Makoto! I'm faster, I'll find him!" Rin insisted, "I'm not going to leave him out here!" Makoto insisted, speeding up as he tried to get to his freind, "HARU!!" he screamed, Rin paused suddenly, reaching over and putting his hand in front of Makoto and frowning, "Wait, hold on a minute," he said quietly, making sure he was only tredding water, they paused, waiting, a moment later they heard the splash of breaking water and saw a figure emerge, "HARU!" Makoto cried as he quickly swam towards him, Rin right ahead of him as they both tried to get to the smaller man, by the time they got there he was underwater again, Rin cursed, diving down and blindly trying to search for him, he felt skin and pulled it up to the surface with him, glad he had found Haru's arm and glaring at him, "You idiot! What are you doing swimming out here!?" he screamed, Haru just blinked at him, "The... fish......." Rin blinked, "W-What...?" "The fish need me..." he muttered, Rin stared at him, not understanding as Makoto caught up, "Come on, let's get you to shore," he insisted, taking Haru's other arm and helping Rin drag him back to the beach

"Haru-Chan!!" Nagisa shouted as he and Rei ran towards the trio on the beach, "Haruka-Senpai are you alright!?" Rei cried worriedly, "I think he's fine, he's just delerious from the fever," Makoto smiled softly as he and Rin each kept one of Haru's arms, "Tch, and he wouldn't have gotten that way if he had propper care! You know he never takes care of himself! He probbably just stuffed himself with mackarel all day and-" "What are you doing out so late anyway Rin-Chan?" Nagisa asked curiously, Rin blinked, that... was a good question with a bad answer... "I... does it matter? I don't want him at his worst during the next tournament! I want to beat Haru because I'm better than he is, not because he's sick!" he insisted, "Well we're still glad for your help," Makoto said with a gentle smile, slowly removing Haru's other arm from Rin's keep and pulling the dark-haired swimmer closer, placing one arm around Haru's waist and holding Haru's other arm around his shoulders as he started walking, "We'll keep you and Kou informed on what's going on, trust me we'll keep a better eye on him from now on," he said as he walked away, "Haru-Chan why did you run out here like this? It was so dangerous!" Nagisa cried, "You realy need to keep a better hold on yourself Haruka-Senpai," Rei warned, Rin gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes as he watched, hissing and turning his head away, feeling a bit slighted after Makoto had just ripped Haru out of his arms like that... not that it mattered ofcourse! Haru was nothing but an old rival and Rin shouldn't care who's arms he was in, "Fish..." Rin looked up suddenly, the group pausing at the other end of the beach, "I wanted... the fish...." he muttered, "What fish Haru?" Makoto asked with concern, "The... fish need me... or else they won't swim... fish have to swim... they need me..." he glanced over his shoulder for a moment, making eye contact with Rin before leaning back against Makoto, "Especially the red ones," "Y-Yes that's nice Haru, I'm sure the fish are fine," Makoto said as they walked, Rin staring after the group in shock and... bitterness, yes... the same things that had made him so proud weeks ago when he returned to Japan.... were only making him bitter now....

~+~

"Really Haru! That stunt last night was the worst," Makoto sighed as he replaced Haru's fever patch for the second time since last night, the blue-eyed swimmer stared up at him and blinked, "Can I have a cool bath?" "No! You're just going to go in there and fall asleep," he sighed, "Then watch me to make sure I don't," he said blandly, "H-Haru how can you propose such a thing!?" "It isn't like you haven't seen me bathe before..." "That's completely different! And didn't Nagisa take your swimsuit!?" "So?" "HARU!" he cried, Haru turned suddenly, facing the window and narrowing his eyes, "I don't.... remember much from last night," he admitted, "I know you don't," Makoto agreed, "But.... were there... sharks in the water?" he muttered, Makoto shivered, "I certainly hope not, but you never know, if there were we didn't see them though," he replied, "Oh..." Haru frowned, pursing his lips, "I thought .... I was touched by a shark...." he muttered, Makoto tilted his head, "Oh.. no, luckily not," he smiled gently, "Were there orcas?" "H-Haru you know wales don't swim so close to the shore," he hummed, Haru stared back at him, blinking again, "No... there were definately orcas," he muttered, Makoto just kept smiling gently as he always did, not wanting to burst whatever bubble Haru had created for himself, "Whatever you say Haru," he agreed, leaning a bit closer, "I'm going to go get you some soup alright?" he asked, Haru just nodded slowly, Makoto took a breath and before he could stop himself found himself kissing Haru's forehead gently, he stood up, his face bright red and keeping his back turned to Haru, "I-I.... I'll be right back!" he muttered, running to the door, "MAKOTO!" he paused, slowly turning his head and looking over his shoulder at him, seeing him sitting up for the first time that morning, "I want oyster crackers with my soup," Makoto sighed softly and nodded, "Ofcourse Haru," "And don't take long, I want you back here," he said plainly, laying back down on his side and watching Makoto intensely, he just smiled and ran out happily, his heart skipping beats in joy that he hadn't been rejected, and in Haru-language that was basically an approval! Ofcourse.... they'd take things slow... but he was hoping that this would work, Haru was never a verbal person, maybe they didn't need to talk about things, maybe it could just ... progress... "Rei-Chan! Rei-Chan! Come on be a little more free!!" he heard, pausing and looking down the hall where Rei was pressed against the wall, blushing bright red and with Nagisa pinning him there... by keeping his hands on both sides of the wall by Rei's head and his feet by Rei's chest, puckering his lips, "N-Nagisa-Kun you're being too forward! Give me a chance to get used to things first!" he cried, "Aw come on Rei-Chan! It was just a little bite!" "What on earth are you two doing?" Makoto asked worriedly, Nagisa gasped and jumped down, "N-Nothing Mako-Chan!! Protect your innocence in the kitchen! Shh!" Nagisa laughed nervously as he waved him off, "I'm not sure about you sometimes..." Makoto muttered worriedly

~+~

"ACHHOOO!!!" Rin groaned as he flopped back down, "Don't worry Rin-Kun! Now that I have your sister's number I'm sure Gou-Kun is on her way with some things to make you feel better!" Seijuro said enthusiastically as he dialed the phone and nearly prancing out of the room, "Lustfull peice of crap," he grumbled with a cough as he shivered under the blankets, "I know he's just after my sister.." Rin muttered with a groan, narrowing his eyes, "Haru too, stupid little.. making me sick like this, I oughtta kill 'im!" he grumbled as he heard the door open, "Senpai!!!" he heard, groaning in displeasure and slowly looking up, "Nitori...? What do you want?" he muttered, "I brought you a get well gift!" he smiled, revealing a giant dolphin plushie, Rin went pale as it was placed in his lap, staring up at him with those cute marbel eyes all innocently, he gritted his teeth, "Dolphins kill sharks you know," he muttered, "Huh?" "Little violent psychopaths... sometimes they don't even kill them to protect themsleves or to eat or anything! They just feel like being homicidal little freaks and go hunting sharks!" he growled as he grabbed a shark plushie from his bed, "Er... Senpai I think that information is a little off, and where did that shark come from? Have you had it the entire time?" Rin ignored him, starting to slam the shark against the dolphin, "DIE DIE DIE!" he screamed with a cough, "Oh do you prefer sharks then? I have a shark tooth necklace if you want it, although you probbably have plenty of those from Australia, oh! I have the 25th anniversery of Shark Week on DVD! Wanna watch it? .....Senpai? .....Senpai are you listening? ....Senpai why are you suddenly hugging the dolphin? Did I succeed? Do you like my gift?" "Shut up Nitori!"
Hey look my first Free! fanfic, sorry not sorry~ So the thing is that until very recently I shipped MakoHaru and RinHaru basically evenly (Love Regisa though~) and I'd just lean a little towards each one depending on my mood, because of that I almost left it open-ended but decided to eventually close it like this and make it cute just because :XD: Anyway I still ship them both but I'm pretty sure now that I ship MakoHaru more, I read this fabulous thing on Tumblr the other day that really hit it home for me about Makoto's connection to Haru versus Rin's and how Rin's is actually more onesided (I really wish I had the link ;_; ) and Rin's obsession with Haru keeps them both locked in the same rythum, not allowing either of them to move on until it's resolved, leaving Haru somewhat trapped by Rin, where as Haru chooses to stay by Makoto's side, every moment he swims with Makoto it's his CHOICE to do so and his CHOICE to be happy with Mako, he chooses to swim for himself, with Makoto, and that makes Makoto happy, where as Rin wants Haru to swim for him and Haru is stuck trying to get free... it's ... it's brilliant... I wish I could find the link but if you can sift through the MakoHaru tag on Tumblr it's really a brilliant post :) And guess what my swimmies? I've got several other Free! oneshots in the works and even a couple of AU chaptered ones O.O IchiRuki is still my OTP and get most of my love but MakoHaru MAY be climbing the ladder high enough to take the second place spot from BBxRae O.O So look out >3
