PROMPT: team daiya no ace
All the waterdrops, all the roots,
all the threads of light gathered to me here;
they came to me sooner or later.
I wanted your hair, all for myself.
From all the graces my homeland offered
I chose only your savage heart.

Haru.
This definitely wasn’t the first time Haru’s name had crossed Rin’s mind on the plane ride back to Japan. And just like the many previous times, he felt…that feeling in his chest, in his gut. That warm, tingly sensation that made him feel slightly disoriented. Lightheaded.
No. He clenched his jaw even tighter, his sharp teeth ferociously grinding against each other. He had a hint of what that feeling was, but… He shook his head. He was going back to Japan solely to beat Haru. After all, that was the only way he could move on, the only way he could fulfill his dad’s dream.
Four years ago, when Rin was twelve and on his first plane to Australia, he’d thought that he was finally doing it. That he was finally going to make his dad proud by fulfilling his dream of becoming an Olympic swimmer. His twelve-year-old self had thought excitedly, ‘dad would be so happy, me studying in Australia, of all places! And swimming alongside all those prodigies…’
But reality had hit him soon enough. He’d been so stupid, thinking he could survive in Australia, surrounded by all these swimming prodigies twice his size. He couldn’t even make the cut to third place. It didn’t matter how hard he tried. All the hours he stayed practicing and training after everyone had left were near futile.
And all his hopes had been crushed when Haru had beaten him that winter.
And so easily too… Rin felt his eyes prickling at the memory. He quickly, hastily rubbed his sleeve over his them, shaking his head.
That wouldn’t do. He couldn’t cry. He had to show Haru that he was different now, that he was better now. He wasn’t the same romantic crybaby he was four years ago. He wasn’t the person who couldn’t beat Haru three years ago. And he definitely wasn’t the person who started crying after losing to him.
Rin’s hand clenched into a tight, solid fist, nails digging into his palm. I’ll show him.
In the three years after that race, Rin had been training. And he’d been training hard. He’d learned English, been on top of his schoolwork and studies, jogged, gone to the gym, and swum. He’d swum so much that the scent of chlorine had permanently been ingrained into his skin and hair, no matter how long he’d stay in the shower for.
And he’d done it all to beat Haru.
Haru, who was beyond talented but didn’t care about timings or rankings. Haru, who was always talking about swimming “free” and feeling the water. Haru, with his constant blasé, unexcited expression. Haru, who had the prettiest, bluest eyes Rin had ever seen…
Rin felt the smallest of shivers running down his spine before angrily shaking his head. Haru, who was the only obstacle between Rin and Rin’s dream. Rin’s dad’s dream.
Rin gazed out the small window at the night sky, jaw and fists determinedly clenched. Australia had a lot more to offer for a swimmer, sure, with multiple high-class training centers and coaches available. It would give him more of a chance at becoming an Olympic swimmer.
But none of that mattered. He’d give up anything, everything, to be able to beat Haru. It was all he wanted.
(Ahaha, sorry! I deleted the old one and did this again because I hadn't tagged it properly, and it wasn't giving me the option to edit it??)

Red is the color of danger, yet Haru was drawn to it, like a moth to a flame. His hand would be entangled in it, enjoying the silky feel of it as it escaped his fingers in rivers of auburn. It is untamed and uncaged, nothing can hold it down, yet Haru could still call it his. Some nights it was draped across his pillow, framing the momentarily serene face before it burst into a rainbow of emotions the next day.
Red is the color of passion, the very source of life came from its lips in the form of bell like laughter. Sharp teeth contained in pale rose would curve into a smile, but would sometimes be connected with Haru. Cinnamon was the taste of red, it was his lover’s favorite flavor.
Red is the color of lust. Cheeks flushed pale cerise filled his vision in darkened rooms. Soft skin, free of the restrictions of clothing, graze against Haru. He drowns in twin rubies, filled with lust, twinkling with life. Sparkling, scarlet drops would be drawn from Haru’s skin, followed by genuine concern and several brown bandages. But brown was a dull color, and shortly after he would drown in red once more. Then, he’d wake up to auburn draped on his pillow once more, rays of light making his beloved glow (as he rightfully should, for there was no way he was human.)
Red is the color of anger. Pencil thin eyebrows crease soft skin. Twin rubies become narrow and dull, yet the core of it burns bright. Shark teeth lash out, and Haru is worried he was drawn too deep into the unknown. But it always fades away, and he is left with rubies glistening with tears or rose lips on his own.
Red is the color of risks and a burning spirit, things Haru would never have by himself. But drops of water clinging to pale rose lips quirked with the breathlessness of victory, he found himself being pulled into it. He was surprised to find it did not burn him like the lava he assumed it was made of, but instead embraced him and filled him with warmth. His heart hammered in his chest, pumping him of life, for he felt every moment in his life paled to the star that shone bright before him.
All the shades of red, in Haru’s world, belonged to a single man by the name of Rin, and everytime he confessed his love, it would fill him with the color of adoration.
