A familiar throbbing feeling in his lower back had woken Fletcher up. Rubbing his eyes sleeply, he glanced at the alarm clock behind Cora's sleeping form and let out a small groan when '2:34' blinked back at him. Planting a quick kiss on Cora's forehead, Fletcher carefully untangled himself from their cuddling position in bed and made his way down to the kitchen where he popped one of his favorite heating pads into the microwave. He made himself a cuppa before making himself comfortable on one of the stools. He was rubbing his back with one hand as he flipped through one of his books when Cora had appeared. "Hey honey. Did I wake you?"

Private Endorsement

Seriously... that Rin... having to send him over in his place just because he had to do something else? Captain's orders... Tch, yeah right. --And yet Sousuke agreed anyway. There was only one reason why. To discuss some things with Tachibana over both teams. Future plans, brainstorming, and ideas to be left with both Iwatobi and Samezuka once the seniors graduate... it's a little depressing just thinking about it but it's time to move on, isn't it? And so... There he was. Makoto Tachibana. Captain of the Iwatobi Swimming Club. He may not look the image but to win that many competitions goes to show that it really is all about team work. But... huh? What's this? Two... kids by his side? Could they possibly be... siblings? More questions raised inside his head at the scene happening before him. They look pretty happy, much like Tachibana. Maybe... babysitting? It is a nice day after all. And what more to have this meeting set in the park... well, guess it does make sense to take the kids out. Sousuke shook his head at his drifting thoughts again, until the orca and the two children who hid behind the brunet in what he can only assume is fear followed along, both staring at him like some stranger, who actually is to the two.
