Rin wasn't really sure if Haru was into drinking, but a bar was open late and an easy casual place to meet. It had been so long since he'd seen the boy..and Rin missed him terribly. Without him, his swimming just wasn't the same. He constantly had to remind himself that Haru was training too, they were both working towards the same goal, but even still his heart and body missed the rush he felt when he raced against Haru. Every time he thought to call him or text him...he'd chicken out...deciding to go to sleep early instead.

When Haru walked into the bar, Rin's face lit up and he waved. "Haru!" he said, beckoning to his friend, who immediately made his way over to the one familiar face in the whole bar. "It's been so long," he said and pulled the shorter male into a hug. "I've...I've really missed you," Rin said, trying to gauge Haru's reaction as he pulled back. Really the boy just looked a bit awkward and uncomfortable...but when didn't he? Rin shook his head and laughed. "You seem the exact same as when I left you. 

Haru frowned and took a seat next to Rin at the bar. "Sorry..." he muttered. "This isn't really my scene," he admitted. "I was surprised that you wanted to meet at a bar...do you drink often now then?" Haru asked. Rin shrugged, sitting back down in his own chair. 

"I don't drink often, but I figured we should at least have one shot to celebrate our reunion," he smirked, calling the bartender over. Haru wasn't sure how he felt about shots and Rin could see it on his face. It was incredible really, how Haru hadn't changed at all. "Just one okay?" Rin smiled, placing the shot of Vodka in front of the other boy.

Of course,'just one' turned into two and then three...even Haru found himself enjoying the activity much more. "I bet you can't have....ONE more..." Haru slurred to Rin, who casually shrugged. After 3...Haru was starting to get rather drunk...but Rin held his liquor a bit better. 

"I think you should be done..." Rin said, taking the latest shot away from Haru. The dark haired boy pouted and his blue eyes looked sad. "Rin is so cruel. Invites me to a bar...and then doesn't let me drink the drinks that he ordered for me," he said, folding his arms. Rin couldn't help but blush...damn Haru was still so cute. That hadn't changed at all either. 

"C'mon Haru," Rin said, letting the other boy lean on him as he walked him home. "Taking you out to drink was a terrible idea," he chuckled. "You really don't hold your liquor well." Rin was completely to blame...first, for inviting him out to a bar in the first place and second, for letting him drink as damn much as he did. 

"Riiiiiinnnnn," Haru whined, as Rin dragged him upstairs to the tiny apartment. "Stay with meeeee," he whimpered, clinging to the red-haired boy. Rin rolled his eyes and gently sat Haru down on the couch, finally getting him inside. 

"Don't worry," he said, rolling his eyes. "I'm not going anywhere and you need some water," Rin muttered, heading to Haru's small kitchen.

"WATER!" Haru exclaimed loudly. Rin jumped, shocked by how loud Haru was...he didn't even realize his voice could get that loud. He moved forward, setting the glass on the table. 

"Yes, Water...you have to drink it...or else you will be very unhappy tomorrow," Rin said with a small laugh. 

Haru didn't really care about the water...(for once in his life) all he could focus on was Rin sitting right next to him. He grabbed his shirt collar and yanked Rin close to him. "Kiss me, Rin," he whispered, his lips inches away from the other male's. Rin felt his face flush as he tried to pull away from the drunk boy.

 "You're...drunk Haru...you're not talking normal, okay?" he said, gently wrapping his fingers around Haru's wrist to push him away. 

"It doesn't matter!" Haru said after a short pause. "I've wanted you for awhile...I just didn't know how to say it...please kiss me Rin," he begged quietly.

Rin wanted to. God, he wanted to and he had wanted to. For years now...and here sat Haru, right in front of him, begging Rin to kiss him and Rin was really saying no? He looked backwards, "Haru...please." His eyes trying to focus on the wall. It didn't help that he wasn't completely sober either.

"Rin, please," Haru pouted and moved closer to Rin's lips, hovering over him. "Just....one, okay?" he smirked, using Rin's own words from earlier. Rin was the one who had suggested shots in the first place...Rin was the one who had gotten Haru all drunk like this...Rin should take responsibility. 

Shit. Rin's self-control was out the window with those words from Haru. With that he closed the small space between their lips, sighing into the long-awaited kiss. "H-Haru..." he whispered, about to say more, but Haru didn't give him the chance to, closing the space again. Rin's arm slipped around Haru's back, pulling the shorter boy closer to him. He was melting into the kiss and the little sobriety keeping him sane was now completely gone, Rin pushed Haru back down against the couch, practically falling on top of him. 

Haru wrapped his arms around Rin's neck, kissing him back rather sloppily...but he didn't care. He wanted this for so long....always wanted to fall completely into Rin and he was happy to do so tonight, finally, as Rin led him back against the couch.
