#ler!ikuya

I have never written for free! But today I will, oh lord! I wanna see this Haruka once again! (Similar to ahem ahem a certain Haruka from Windbreaker)

Lee!haru / ler!makoto, ler!ikuya, ler!asahi

(Takes place during middle school of the anime Free!starting days)

The silence... the tranquillity. Haruka Nanase wishes he could stay underwater forever. No noises to bother him, no annoying teaches to chide him, no friends to offer him ceaseless attention -it is perfection.

The more his moves his hands up to the surface, the cold from the outside reminds him of the reluctance to leave the warm water that embraces him.

Liftinf his feet slightly, his toes now leaning towards the edge of the small tub, he relaxes further down, letting his head engulf within the water bodies.

Regardless... he could just forget school for once and stay here like a euphoric relm.

Little did he know that the silence was louder than noises, as he didn't hear the sound of the bathroom door slide open.

"Ugh, Haru... he's at it again..." Ikuya groans, now folding his arms as he looks at Asahi, snickering in amusement.

Makoto chuckles sweetly, "Well, he does this all the time..."

"He doesn't even know we're here"

Makoto mischievously reached out to tickle Haruka's toes, the reaction was instant when the water suddenly splashed. With Haru (unelegantly) straightening himself, jerking up and rubbing his wet face.

Ikuya and Asahi couldn't help but burst into laughter "Ahaha! Haru looked so funny! We rarely see him act so flustered!"

Asahi agreed nodding now slapping Ikuya in the back as they laughed together, "Just like you were when u tried to copy Haru!"

Ikuya's laugh cut short to a growl, "Oi!"

Makoto sighs, now crossing his arms, "Haru, we're late... what did I tell you about long baths and dreaming?"

Haru looks embarassed, his blue eyes averting sideways, "Well you didn't have to act like a mom for that"

Asahi this time grabbed Haru's ankle now scribbling away mercilessly, "Oh yh? Well you shouldn't act like a child to begin with, Haru-chan!"

Haruka groaned into giggles, now water splashing around, "S-Stohoohop, jeeheheez"

Ikuya giggles back now tickling Haru's neck, "Aw he's so ticklish... better get out or else we won't stop"

Haru scrunched his shoulder cutely, now unable to hide the uncharacteristic squeal, making them adore a sigh of endearment.

"Cute!" Asahi Yelps in surprise.

"A-Ahahalright, alright! Stahahap..." Haru managed to splash water to make them move away from him, his face redder than a cherry. Makoto grins proudly, now pulling Ikuya and Asahi away, "You have five minutes to get ready. Otherwise, another tickle fest it is... Haru-chan"

After closing the door, the other protested, "Don't call me that...!"

Ikuya grinned as they heard Haru change swiftly, "Who knew the stoic Haruka is ticklish"

Asahi coughs, "Ahem, don't think you are one to talk Ikuya..." he smirks wiggling his fingers at Ikuya who backs of with a whine, "Don't you dahahare..."

"Awwww come here, Ikuuu!"

Makoto should watch out with the way they began yo run through Haru's house, Ikuya scrambling with giggles to escape the mencing Asahi.
