My first Free! fic, sorry if any of them are OOC! I tried my best to keep them in character and be accurate with Olympic and swimming rules and conventions.

Set in August 2016, Rio Olympics!


A sudden shake roused Rin from his sound sleep. Groaning, he tiredly batted away the hands disturbing his peace. Rolling over so he lay face down, Rin heaved a sigh and tried to go back to sleep.

"Rin, wake up," Haru whined, "We have to be at Gous in an hour, you promised, remember?"

"Nope," Rin said simply, his voice muffled by the pillow. He heard Haru groan softly in frustration, and suddenly the warm blanket over him was gone. The cool morning air nipped at Rin's warm skin.

"Shit! God dammit Haru!" He complained, kicking his legs out tiredly. He curled in on himself tightly, snatching Haru's pillow to his chest as a makeshift blanket. Rin got a few moments of peace before he was practically dragged by the leg onto the ground. Sprawled out on the cool ground, Rin watched Haru move around the bedroom, getting dressed. Rin closed his eyes and tried to get back to sleep on the floor, but was interrupted by a pair of pants and shirt landing on his face. Groaning, Rin grabbed them and finally got up.

"You could have been nicer waking me up," Rin grumbled, pulling the clothes on, "With a kiss or something."

"You just get distracted if I do that," Haru said with a sigh, "We're running late anyway."

Ten minutes later they were on the train on the way to Gou's. Rin felt so jet lagged he fell asleep on the train, but was, rudely, woken by Haru when they got to their stop. They finally made it to Gou's apartment, after endless complaints from Rin. Much to Rin's surprise, it was Nagisa who opened the door.

"RIN!" he screamed, before launching himself at the red head. Rin gave a yelp as he stumbled backwards, Nagisa's arms gripping tightly around him. Rei appeared at the door and pulled Nagisa back by the shirt with a sigh.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" Rin asked, regaining his footing.

"We stayed a bit longer, Nagisa wanted to be here when you got back," Rei said matter-of-factly. Makoto hadn't stayed since he had a huge pile of Uni work waiting for him. He finally managed to get through the doorway after shaking Nagisa off of him again. Gou and Kyoko where both standing behind the kitchen counter, Gou cutting strawberries and Kyoko eating said strawberries.

"Hi Rin!" Kyoko said after popping another strawberry into her mouth. Rin grunted a greeting in reply before flopping down on the couch, planning on simply falling asleep there. Haru foiled this plan; however, by sitting beside him and giving him small pinches every time he started to drift off.

"Don't be an ass," Rin groaned, swatting away Haru's nimble hands.

"Don't fall asleep, Gou's almost finished with breakfast," Haru sighed, placing a soft peck on Rin's forehead.

"Whatever."

After almost falling asleep again Rin was startled awake by Gou calling them to the table. Although he was quite hungry, he still had to be dragged off the couch by Haru. But upon seeing the amount of food laid out on the table, Rin no longer felt tired. He quickly sat down and piled his plate quickly.

"Oh god I've missed your cooking Gou," Rin said happily. Gou gave him a loving smile as she carried over the last basket of warm rolls.

"Ah sorry I took so long," Rin heard a familiar voice speak from the doorway. Looking up, his fork still halfway to his mouth, Rin almost spat out his food at seeing Mikoshiba standing by the doorway, wearing a white dressing gown, towelling off his hair.

"S-Seijuro!" Gou stuttered, her face flushing red, "I thought you went home!"

Rin nearly choked on his food. He felt a burning rage build up inside him, as he stood up slowly.

"What the hell?!" He demanded, from no one in particular.

"No, Oniichan! It isn't what you, ah, thinkā€¦.?" Gou said nervously. For a few moments there was silence, before it was broken by Mikoshiba's carefree laughter.

"Aw come on Gou, it's all good," He said, pulling Gou towards him, "Isn't it Rin?"

Rin felt like jumping over the table and ripping that grinning idiots face off. He would have if Haru wasn't holding onto his arm, muttering "no." Rin squinted his eyes, glaring daggers at the idiot holding his little sister.

"How long has this been going on?" Rin asked slowly.

"Oh about two months I guess," Mikoshiba said with a shrug. Rin felt homicidal.

"That's my little sister you asshole!" Rin growled.

"Rin stop it," Gou said sternly, her lips pursed, "I'm not a little kid anymore."

Rin was taken aback by Gous words. Gou didn't usually talk to him like that, so grown up. She usually played on the fact that he was her big brother. With a huff Rin sat down, still eyeing Mikoshiba angrily.

"You could have at least told me," he mumbled. Gou shot him a warning look, and sat down, Mikoshiba beside her. God it was going to be a long day.

Rin had really had enough of pools for the time being. But Haru had insisted, and he really couldn't refuse him. Everyone was lazing around the pool, except for Haru, who was floating on his back in the cool water. Rin opted for resting on one of the deck chairs, since he was still tired and swimming with Haru always resulted in a race.

"I'm glad you're back Oniichan," Gou said from her position next to the pool, with her legs dangling in the water. Mikoshiba sat beside her, constantly cuddling her, totally unaware of Rin's glaring. Rin simply hummed in reply.

"What are you going to do now Rin?" Nagisa asked. Rei and him were laying together on the chair beside him. Rei had long since abandoned wondering about their relationship.

"We'll I'm still part of the training program, so I guess I'll just keep training and racing," Rin grunted in reply.

"Does that mean you'll go to the next Olympics?!" Nagisa said excitedly, his eyes gleaming.

"Maybe, if I get onto the team again," Rin said with a shrug. Nagisa's face broke into a grin.

"Oh wow that's so cool! We'll come with you next time! Neh Rei-chan?"

Rei looked less than excited about this. It'd always baffled Rin how Rei put up with Nagisa. Honestly, the rest of him could hardly stand a whole day with him, yet Rei spent every day with him. Rin applauded him on this.

"Well then I'm coming too," Haru said suddenly, making Rin jump. Haru had been quite the whole time, Rin had assumed he'd fallen asleep or something. But there he was, standing beside him, dripping wet. Haru knelt down and placed a shy, cold kiss on Rins forehead.

"Why didn't you go, Haru-chan?" Nagisa asked loudly. Haru looked away, a deadpan expression on his face.

"Haru's scared of flying," Rin explained with a chuckle. It perplexed him how Haru developed this fear. Maybe it was something to do with his love of water, that the sky scared him? He'd tried asking him, but Haru didn't even like talking about it.

"Whatever," Haru mumbled.

"Well the next Olympics are here in Tokyo anyway so we don't have to worry about that," Gou said.

"Awesome!" Nagisa shouted, jumping up and making Rei shout in surprise, "we can all go and see Rin race together! We can be his support team! Oh wow we should make banners with Rin name on them. This is going to be amazing!"

Rin laughed at Nagisa's antics, and turned to Haru, who had his head rested on Rins shoulder.

"Yeah," Rin murmured, "I guess it will."
