Chapter 13

After a couple days, it was finally December.

The smell of snow, the cold breeze and pretty much everything from what usually happens in Christmas, is literally the best feeling ever.

But not when you just forgot your scarf and jacket at home that your body is already shivering from the cold like crazy. You gulped a cold lump down your throat.

"Put this on." A voice that sounded serious yet calm spoke near.

Shifting your shaking head from shivering, you saw Haruka extending his hand that was holding the blue colored hoodie he was wearing as he got to his classroom.

You sheepishly smiled, "A-Are y-you su-ure??.. then h-how ab-bout y-you?-"

"Just wear it." he insisting-ly demanded then his impatience of me not accepting his kindness made him just place the hoodie on me by myself.

A dark red color splashed throughout my cheeks with a feeling of it burning, which felt pretty warm on you. His touch lingers as made you wear his hoodie, your about to smell like him again.

You knew a numbered pair of eyes was traced with your other classmates in the room, especially the girls (a/n: lmfaOoo), they were giving you these really extreme death glares and stares of kinds, shivering you more.

You forced a small smile, "T-Thank you.. Haru-kun." you managed to say as your frozen-iced body stared to warm up by the warmth of the hoodie of Haruka.

He just nodded his head as a 'your welcome' to you with his tiny average smile popping out a bit.

It was about time when the bell rings, even though there was something inside you, telling you that you would miss Haruka if he isn't around. Which you honestly suspect that it was weird because, it was a first time you felt that kind of feeling.

As he nodded his farewell once more, he started walking on his path to this respective classroom. Your hand suddenly and unexpectedly swang to grab Haruka's wrist.

The grab you gave was tight, firm and.. warm.

He was belwidered but it was obvious that blood flushed all around his face here and there from his facial features. "(Y-Y/n)..??" he hesitated, causing him to stutter while speaking.

There was this eye-contact that gave it away from the current situation, yours and his eyes met and they just stared just like that. As if they only have their own worlds. (a/n: that sounded weiRd-)

You snapped yourself back into reality and released the grip you were giving on his wrist and sheepishly smiled.

Haruka just gave off one last smile, but this time, it was a playful smirk. There's always a first time for everything, I guess.

As he left, stares and glares was all you sensed around you. Eyes roaming with your hoodie, rolling of eyes, the sensation made you hesitate so all you did was bow your head, thinking of something to distract yourself.

"Get a hold of yourself, (Y/n)!"

By dismissal, the club unites and started practicing for the swimming relay. You were obviously included, but still you felt strange vibes with your relationship towards water addict after what happened earlier.

Makoto patted your head like some puppy of their owner with a gentle smile. "You'll do great for practice." he briefly encouraged you.

Then a guy appeared out of nowhere. It was the club's swimming coach.

"Is everyone already here?" the guy with brown messy, dull-looking with simple black colored eyes questioned as his sight traced every person in the room.

He had this vibe on you that as if, if you make a single mistake- your going to risk being placed in jail. It sounds dramatic but, thats the vibe.

After glancing one more to everyone again, he gently bowed at a polite degree and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Tihn Di."

Lifting a brow which Gou noticed easily, she chuckled a little following her words as she whispered them on your ear.

"Even though they say that he's a Japanese, exactly. His name sounds very much like a foreigner." she explained, making you nod.

Looking at your coach, 'Tihn Di' to be exact. He looked so oddly familiar to you, so peculiar. Like as if you already saw and spoke to him for years. You just shaked your head and focused.

"Raise your hand if you are included for next year's swimming relay." he declared.

All of the boys and you raised your hand as commanded.

"She's included?" Mr. Tihn asks while belwildered. Everyone except you nodded as an answer. "Uhm.. yes, sir." Rei, being the president, said.

A hand suddenly grasped yours, giving you goosebumps all over your skin. You found yourself and Haruka holding hands, he even looked like that it was normal. Even when thats just something that is so odd for him to do.

"H-Haru-kun??--" cutted off, he just told you to stay quiet with his playful little smirk. The exact one but smaller from what he showed earlier in the morning when he lended his hoodie to you.

He interwinded his fingers with yours, fiddling with it softly. "I just want to feel your touch.." he muttered, your blood traced all over your face- wait, not just face, but the whole body.

It felt like the person that is literally playing with your fingers isn't really Haruka himself. It was another person out there. (a/n: oh nu who has posessed dis precious child--)

You suddenly felt uncomfortable, causing you to be stiff like hell with his touch. Without you knowing, you trembled with your feet and you felt your hand stammered, releasing from Haruka's tight grip.

But without even a second passing by, you suddenly realized that Haruka's arm was wrapped around your waist, leaving him to make you more closer beside him, like shoulder to shoulder.

"What has happened to him??"
