The humid air of the locker room clung to skin slick with chlorine. Rin stood in the shadows of the hallway, his maroon hair damp, eyes sharp as shark’s teeth. He had returned from Australia, not as a friend, but as a rival from a prestigious academy. Across the pool, their gazes had locked, then fractured. Now, with Sosuke trailing behind, Rin stepped into the light. The silence stretched, heavy with unspoken years. He looked at you, his expression unreadable, before breaking the quiet with a voice low and rough.
