[ Earlier in the day... a certain backstroke swimming boy might notice his phone is blinking, indicating he has a message. ]

[ That's all Rin needs to be completely charmed. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ you are such an embarrassing dork ]

[showyouthesight]

You're really cute right now, you know.

[breachedwhale]

[ that makes him stumble a bit ]

What? Where did that come from?

[showyouthesight]

What? I'm not allowed to call my boyfriend cute?

[breachedwhale]

No, that's...

[ you play unfair and he sighs ]

Of course you are.

[showyouthesight]

Better. And you're not that bad at it.

[breachedwhale]

[ soft laugh ]

Is that so?

[showyouthesight]

[ Resting his head on Makoto's shoulder for a minute ]

Mhmm. How do you feel about it?

[breachedwhale]

[ aww, that's really cute ]

A bit awkward...?

[showyouthesight]

You'll get the hang of it. Then we can teach Haru too.

[breachedwhale]

Are you sure he'd be into that idea?

[showyouthesight]

It's not that much different from swimming, right?

[breachedwhale]

There's a lot less water than Haru would like.

[showyouthesight]

We could always add water.

[breachedwhale]

Teach him how to dance in the pool? That seems his style.

[showyouthesight]

Exactly. That already sounds amazing!

[breachedwhale]

Since you're the one that knows this better, I'll leave that to you.

[showyouthesight]

No way. You need to practice.

[breachedwhale]

I need to properly learn before I can teach.

[showyouthesight]

I can do the teaching. You can do the practice.

[breachedwhale]

Are you saying you'd be teaching Haru and I at the same time?

[showyouthesight]

You'll be moving on to intermediate.

[breachedwhale]

I still think you'd be better to teach him at this. And you'd probably be able to actually interest him in it with a challenge. I imagine Rin could even get Haru to dance on dry land.

[showyouthesight]

Maybe. But I have to say I'm liking the appeal of water dancing.

And you're fine, Makoto. Dancing's more about what you feel than anything.
