You're not quite sure how you got yourself in this situation. But here you are, sitting in this locker room, fidgeting uncomfortably in the Iwatobi swimsuit. You look around the vacant room, staring at lockers deep in thought. There's no possible way to coward out of this, especially when you think of Nagisa, the boy you've been infatuated with since you've moved to this school. He's always been one of your closest friends, yet there's always been a huge gap between the two of you. You being an introvert while he's an extrovert. He's always been accepting of you though, and you're definitely thankful for that.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door pulls you out of your reverie. You hear a cheerful male voice shortly after the sound, "_______! Practice is about to start!"

You sigh, feeling absolutely defeated. Quivering in fear, you grab your blue goggles and head out of the door. Upon entering the pool area, you're immediately greeted by the sounds of splashing, whistling, and the buzz of chatter in the air. The smell of chlorine wafts into your nose, causing you to shudder involuntarily- it's only a reminder of what you've gotten yourself into. You immediately recognize some people on the team: Haruka, Tachibana, Rei, Nagisa...

Nagisa, you think, your eyes narrowing slightly at the sight of the blond male making his way towards you.

"_______!" Nagisa calls to you, a smile upon his child-like face.

And unexpectedly, you find yourself flying onto the concrete floor. Your face darkens immensely once you take notice to the position your in; Nagisa is laying atop of you, coincidentally in between your legs. You note that he's also soaking wet, and so you shiver lightly from his cool skin.

"I'm so glad you came!" Nagisa rejoiced in a hushed shout still smiling as he remains on top of you.

But how could you not? Especially now as you look into those beautiful magenta eyes. You smile shyly at him.

"Of course. I made a promise, didn't I?" you question in a shy mumble.

"Mhm! C'mon! Let's go stretch," he insists, pulling himself off you then proceeding to help you up.

Touching his hand sent inevitable shudders through your spine, electricity shooting up your arm. Nagisa's head tilts questioningly at the new flush pouring into your cheeks, but you dismiss it with a grin. The two of you begin your journey over to Tachibana, your hands still intertwined. Tachibana flashes Nagisa a sly grin, to which the short male returns a feeble glare. Somewhere in the back of your mind you wonder what sort of silent conversation they were having, but quickly let go of the thought as you approach the taller male.

"Evening, _______," Tachibana says to you in his cool, gentle voice.

"Good evening, Tachibana."

"Hey!" Nagisa greets his friend from beside you.

"Hey, Nagisa," he pauses momentarily, taking a sip of his bottle of water. His eyes travel to your still entangled hands, then back to Nagisa's eyes. He smirks lightly before continuing, "Well... I've finished stretching. I'll see you two in the water!" And with that, he sets his drink down and dashes into the pool, his splash echoes throughout the room.  

You're not very close to Tachibana, but due to the fact you spend a lot of your time with Nagisa, you feel somewhat comfortable with the brunet. Yet you couldn't quite understand why he was in a sudden rush to leave you and Nagisa alone. Nagisa lets go of your hand suddenly, shaking his head in small, quick movements. Rejection pricks your heart, but you couldn't help but notice the faint blush upon his cheeks. He turns to you, then, smiling softly.

"Alright! Let's stretch!"

You never really realized how much work it is to stretch and warm-up for swimming. Normally when you would swim with friends back in your old town, you wouldn't warm-up or anything for that matter. You'd just simply jump in. You're a little dumbfounded by how much work is put into this sport, especially for someone like you, who isn't in as much shape as Nagisa. He's like a little firecracker. But still, the conversation he's keeping with you helps you get through it.

Throughout the practice, whenever an opportunity for him to speak to you was open, he'd take it. You'd listen in awe over the different stories he tells you; stories of his success, his failures of his short life, his goals and dreams, and passions. You find your infatuation with him grow increasingly as time ticks on. And it makes your heart swell every time he shows interest in things about you as well. You don't think you've ever spoken this much in your life, even with the breaks between to practice diving or other things. The blush remains ever so present within your cheeks.

"Say, _______, would you like to go to the beach with me tomorrow?" he asks you as practice comes to a close.

You fold your arms across your chest as you climb out of the pool, trembling unnoticably from the cool air coming in contact with your soaked body. He looks at you with excitement sparkling in his bright eyes. Nope... you still can't say no to such a face, regardless if you're already exhausted from swimming, and how it's the last thing on your mind right now. You sigh inaudibly. Curse Nagisa and his adorable persuasion.

"Sure, Nagisa. Sounds fun."

"Promise?"

You aren't quite sure why you really needed to promise such things. Perhaps he didn't want you to back out? Of course you wouldn't do such a thing... But if it made him happy, you don't mind one bit. "I promise," you tell him.

He reaches out a pinky, and you exhale defeated... again. You wrap your pinky finger around his, watching the smile spread across his face.

"Yay! See you then, _______!" he shouts happily, practically skipping out of the room.

You sigh, again, before making your journey back to the locker room to gather your things and head home. Butterflies begin to fill your stomach as you open the door to the showers.

******************

You frown impatiently standing in the warm, squishy sand of the beach. The smell of the ocean wraps itself around you, devouring you in its salty scent. You look up to the clear blue sky, thinking to yourself. You shake your head to yourself at the new thought that popped in your mind.

"I don't think he'd back out on this," you mutter under your breath, closing your eyes, allowing the warm sun to carress your cheeks.

It is indeed a beautiful day. A slight breeze ghosts through the air, flowing through the spill of your hair. The sound of the waves is absolutely calming, and you find yourself in utter peace momentarily, that is, until you hear a familiar loud voice coming from behind. You turn to the source of the voice.

"_______!!" he calls to you, waving his hand frantically.

"Hey, Nagisa!" you call back, smiling.

He starts running to you, and to your horror, he doesn't show signs of slowing down. You brace yourself for impact, and impact you recieve. You fall upon the sand, the golden grains flying all around you and the boy. A playful giggle escapes his lips as you watch him shake the sand out of his bright blond hair. You find yourself giggling as well once you regain the breath that has been knocked out of you.

"I missed you, _______. Did you miss me?" he inquires you after his fit of giggles.

"I-It's only been o-one day, Nagisa," you stutter, avoiding the question.

"Soo?"

He rolls off you, pulling himself into a sitting position beside you. His eyes sparkle with excitement, just like yesterday. And have you noticed how much he's been smiling and blushing around you recently? Flush pours into your cheeks and you laugh again nervously.

"Yeah, okay. I missed you, too, shorty." Shorty is a nickname you gave him not too long ago. You just absolutely love the adorable playful glare you recieve from him.

"You're not much taller than me," he states, sticking his tongue out.

You grin at the beautiful boy sitting beside you. You've tried for the past several weeks to ignore your feelings for him. But lately, with his recent flirtatious nature, you realize you can no longer ignore them. You're in love with Nagisa Hazuki. And to be quite honest with yourself, you aren't entirely sure if he returns those feelings or not.

"Alright- you got me," you quietly say, sarcasm thick in your voice.

He smiles. "C'mon, _______! Let's go swim now!" he suddenly shouts, leaping up from the ground.

He reaches a hand out to you again, like yesterday, and you nervously take it. You weren't quite expecting the electricity to happen again, so you're thrown off by it. You gasp lightly. Nagisa seems to have ignored your breath intake, keeping his fingers intertwined with yours as he pulls you toward the turquoise ocean.

This day is absolutely perfect. You find yourself becoming closer and attached to Nagisa with every passing second. His jokes and secrets, everything about him you drink in. And as the day progresses, you begin to notice the way he gets much more comfortable with grabbing your hand, holding you in the cool blue water, then quickly splashing you playfully whenever you look uncomfortable within his grasp. Albeit, you aren't uncomfortable one bit. Every touch you recieve from him gives you unavoidable shivers, shudders, and trembles.

And every time he lets you go, you feel disappointed with the sudden space between the two of you. His compliments would quickly erase the disappointment, though. Blush is definitely the dominate feature upon your face today.

As the sun makes its way east, passing the highest point, your stomach makes a sudden rumbling noise. Nagisa chuckles at you.

"Wanna go get something to eat? I brought some lunch," he says, chuckling again when your stomach makes another noise.

"Please," you mutter, your already flushed face turning into a deeper crimson.

You guys make your way out of the water to a spot further away from everyone who made their way here. Huh, you think someone like you would notice the amount of people filling the beach throughout the afternoon...

You watch Nagisa throw a small plaid blanket onto the ground, then wrapping a towel around his neck. You grab your towel as well and dab yourself dry before sitting upon the blanket. Nagisa joins you not a moment too soon, handing you a bento box. You open it and smile at the delicious goods. Riceballs, vegetables, noodles. He also hands you a bottle of water, to which you open and gulp the refreshing liquid down greedily.

"So... I haven't really asked since the first time we met a couple months ago... How do you like it here now? Do you enjoy the swim club?" he questions you before taking a bite of his riceball.

You weren't expecting this question, so you contemplate your answer as you finish swallowing your mouthful.

"It's pretty nice. It's not so bad anymore," you respond.

You smile shyly realizing that it has been much nicer the more you spend time with Nagisa. He continues to fire questions about you, cutting in occassionally to give his opinion over certain things. You two are definitely opposite people. Nagisa is always so outgoing with you, always giving his opinions in large detail, whereas you seem to only reply with short and simple sentences, or nodding in agreement or shaking your head in disagreement.

After what only seemed like a few minutes, you look up to the sky, astonished by the sunset painting a beautiful canvas; the blue sky fading into brilliant shades of orange and pink, and softening into cooler shades of purple. The stars begin to twinkle dully as the sky begins to slowly darken more.

"Today was fun," Nagisa mutters beside you.

You jump lightly when you realize how quiet it was before he spoke up. Nagisa is also watching the sun slowly disappear in awed silence. You didn't realize you were admiring him until he turns to face you, boring his eyes into yours. His stunning magenta eyes are darkened slightly along with the evening sky, and you gasp quietly at the beauty of them. You can almost compare them to the beautiful setting sun. Almost.

He shifts his eyes back to the sky, eyebrows furrowing slightly, but noticably. And in the faint light, you can make out a rosy blush resting within his cheeks. You wonder what he's thinking, blushing and being so quiet suddenly.

"_______... There's something I need to tell you," he says in a quiet voice, keeping his eyes to the sky.

Your heart skips several beats. "Y-Yeah..?"

"I-I've always... always sort of... liked you..."

Was he... Was he confessing to you? You tilt your head questioningly, pressing him to go on. Blood rushes into your neck and cheeks.

"Like... more than a friend... You're really, really pretty... and-"

You press a finger to his lips, looking into his vivid pink orbs. "I... I've always liked you, too, Nagisa," you confess.

He flashes his pearly whites at you, and your heart sputters frantically. And for the third time this week, he pounces you, but this time he hesitantly brings his face closer to yours. You can feel your heart about to burst out of your chest the closer his lips get to yours. And once your lips connect, all of the feelings are confirmed. You are definitely unconditionally in love with your best friend.

After the long, gentle kiss, you guys pull apart for air. You and Nagisa both are blushing as you guys press your foreheads together smiling at each other.

As you look into his eyes, you know that this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
