Breaking And Entering [Rin Matsuoka x Reader] Ch.1

Haruka dove into the pool, his lean body easily cutting through the water as he gracefully thrust his arms into its surface. “His swimming always looks so smooth.” A young Makoto said next to you. “Yep, like a dolphin!” Nagisa nodded. You couldn’t help but giggle as the boys fawned over Haru’s swimming. “Who’s that?” Nagisa asked, causing you to look over. A boy around your age was pulling on a swimming cap and goggles while stepping onto the starting block of the lane next to Haru’s. His cap covered magenta colored hair. “Rin Matsuoka-kun.” Makoto said. “He transferred into our class last week.”

Your (e/c) orbs never left the boy named Rin and you watched as he snapped one of the bands on his goggles, leaping into the water. His swimming wasn’t as smooth as Haru’s was, but he was just as fast and caught up to dolphin-boy in just a few seconds. He somewhat reminded you of a shark. The two boys reached the wall of the pool and spun their bodies in order to kick off. Rin had a pretty powerful kick, which kept him in the lead but Haru wasn’t going to accept that. The raven-haired boy reached the other wall first and he calmly raised his head from the water, pulling off his cap and goggles while performing his signature hair-flick, sending droplets of the liquid flying. Makoto reached out a hand to him and smiled, “No one can beat you when you’re in the water, Haru-chan.” Haru frowned at the nickname “Stop calling me –chan already.” He grumbled but took the outstretched hand anyways.
“That was so cool, Nanase-kun!” Nagisa practically gushed. “I wanna swim like you!” Haruka sent a glance your way and you smiled brightly at him, giving a thumbs-up. “Way to go, Haru!” Rin rose from the water as well and pulled off his cap and goggles, revealing crimson eyes to go with his hair. “You’re as fast as the rumors said!” Rin smiled. “What was your time?” “I don’t care about my time.” Haruka mumbled, and you all turned to look at him. For a moment Rin seemed surprised but suddenly burst out in hysterical chuckles, holding onto the pool lane for support. “That’s just like the rumors said, too.” He smiled. “Why would you try to get to know someone purely based on rumors?” you asked with a raised brow. Rin only laughed some more, not answering your question.

“Hey, Nanase.” He said, stepping out of the water. “You interested in entering a relay with me at the next tournament?” As he asked this, you noticed he had pointed teeth. ‘Guess we can add him to our strange collection of aquatic animals.' You thought, clearly amused. “I only do freestyle.” Haru replied, turning to once again face the water. You all watched as he pulled his goggles back on and jumped in. Rin’s crimson eyes turned to you and he smiled, holding out his hand. “I’m Rin Matsuoka. Nice to meet’cha.” “I know,” you smirked, shaking his hand. “(Name) (Last name). Nice to meet you.”
You pulled down your own goggles, and leaped into the pool, its frigid temperature instantly hitting your skin. Your face broke the surface of the water, and you thrust your arms into the liquid while kicking your legs softly, propelling yourself forward. “(Name)’s swimming is amazing, too!” Nagisa chirped. “Like a mermaid!” “Oh really?” Rin snickered. “Cause she looks more like a seal or somethin’ flopping around, to me.” You stopped swimming and swiveled your head to look at him. “Hey!” you growled.


Light flared across the scene, and you were instantly transported to another.


Pain shot through your body as your legs gave out and your knees hit the ground. You raised your small hands in a pathetic attempt to shield your face, small whimpers escaping your lips. A couple of the boys tugged on your (h/c) strands, while others kicked at your torso. “You’re so pathetic!” one of them taunted. “Yeah!” the others agreed, not being able to think of anything else to insult you with. “Oi!” a voice yelled from around the corner. “Leave her alone!” The boys, realizing they had been caught, bolted for it. Dusting yourself off, a hand came into your vision. “Need some help?” the voice asked. Looking up, your eyes came into contact with crimson orbs. Rin was there, wearing an oddly worried expression. A bit reluctantly, you took his hand and he pulled you up. “You okay?” he asked. “Why were they hurting you?” “Who knows?” you mumbled, bangs covering your eyes, “They choose a random person every day. Guess I was it this time.” Rin frowned, scrutinizing your face. “Is something bothering you? Normally you wouldn’t put up with that kind of stuff.” You simply shook your head.

The magenta-haired boy sighed. “Oi, (Name).” he said, lifting your chin. “If you keep looking down like that, I won’t be able to see your eyes.” The moment you had met, Rin told you that he felt he couldn’t look away from your eyes. That they were nice to look at. You felt your face flush at the memory and tore your gaze from his. “If you ever need my help, just call and I’ll be there.” He smiled. Your eyes widened in slight shock, but you smiled, “Okay.” “Besides,” he smirked. “No one’s allowed to make fun of you except me.” Rin jerked a thumb to his chest for emphasis. You smirked deviously and pushed him before running off with him chasing after you.


Light faded the scene once again, and a new one came into view.


“Do you really have to go..? All the way to Australia?” you whispered, clutching onto Rin’s chest as if he would float away if you let go. “It’s something I have to do, (Name).” he said, eyes gazing down at you sadly. But did he really have to go all the way out to Australia in order to achieve his dream of becoming an Olympic swimmer? “I... understand...” you said softly, hugging him a bit tighter. You felt his arms wrap around your waist in return. “Don’t worry,” Rin smiled. “I’ll always come around for visits and stuff. You won’t even realize I’m gone.” You tried your best to raise your head and smile, but a few stray tears leaked out anyways. “Aww, (Name).” Rin frowned, ruffling your hair. His mom called for him so they could leave, and he gave you one more squeeze before waving and running off. Your own mother came up behind you, laying a hand on your shoulder. Her fingers softly stroked your (h/l) locks.


More light.


Your mom was cooking on the stove while you sat with your dad on the sofa. A stupid children’s program was on, but you paid no attention to it. You were too busy spacing out. Rin had left the day before. Makoto and Nagisa had offered to come over and cheer you up, but you denied them. Your attention was brought to your mom as she walked into the room. “The stir fry’s almost ready.” She smiled at you in particular and sat next to you, (e/c) orbs shining. You all sat in silence for a few minutes until your dad had lifted his head to sniff the air. “Is something burning?” he asked, looking around. Your mom immediately jumped up, shouting something about the food. You ran out with her.

Many parts of the kitchen had caught on fire, and your eyes widened in both horror and realization. This creaky, old house wouldn’t last minutes. “Where’s the fire extinguisher?!” your mother yelled. Your father shouted something along the lines of, “It’s upstairs!” and, “I’ll get it!” The both of you hurriedly followed him up the stairs. Just as he had stepped into the room, the ceiling started to creak and wooden beams, along with plaster and other things, crashed to the floor, separating you and your mother from your dad. He let out a pained groan and your mother started to panic. “Are you okay?!” she yelled. “Just hold on, we’ll get you out!” “No!” came the returning shout. “Both of you need to get out of here! I’ll find a way out.” “But-” you started, but he cut you off. “Go, now!” You choked back a sob, and your mother tugged on your hand. “(Name), we have to go!” You stared at the door a moment longer but reluctantly followed your mother’s wishes. The both of you raced down the stairs only to see that most of the house was now covered in flames.
“We can make it!” Your mom said, determinedly, gripping your hand tighter and running towards the door. More creaking could be heard and your eyes widened as you looked up. “Look out!” you shouted just as the ceiling started to fall apart. The last thing you felt was your mothers’ arms around you.
Your (e/c) eyes opened slowly but widened drastically at what was in front of them. Your back was pushed against the ground and your mother was leaning over you, shielding you from the large wooden beams with her body. A small trail of blood leaked from her forehead. “M-mom..? What the hell are you doing?!” you yelled, tears burning in the corners of your eyes. The both of you were covered in ash and dirt. Your mother only gave you a weak smile in return to your outburst, too tired to reprimand you for your language. “Don’t worry...” she said quietly. “I’m sure help will come soon...” Sirens could be heard in the distance but the ceiling beams crushing the both of you squeaked in protest, causing your mother to let out a pained groan. “S-stop moving! We have to get out of here!” you cried. “You always made us proud...” Your mom smiled. “Keep swimming, okay? You always look so happy while you do.” “Shut up! Don’t talk like that!” Your mothers’ (e/c) orbs were slowly losing their inner light, and her eyelids slid shut, her body collapsing on yours. The ceiling groaned. “Mom...? Mom! MOM!!” You yelled, desperately trying to wiggle out from beneath her body. Coughs wracked your body as smoke filled your lungs. The sound of the sirens were getting closer.

“Haru... Makoto... Somebody!” You cried softly. “Rin.... Rin, where are you..?! You said you would be there to save me..!” Soon, voices reached your ears and small spots of light broke through the beams. Another cough escaped your throat, and you blacked out.




Your (e/c) eyes flew open, and you sat up in your bed, screaming. After a few moments of hyperventilating, your grandma’s voice reached your ears from downstairs. “(Name)! Makoto is here to walk you to school! (Name)!” For a moment, you simply stared at your reflection in the mirror. (h/l) (h/c) strands clung to your cheeks, along with beads of sweat. Getting up with a sigh, you walked into your bathroom. After brushing your hair, teeth and doing your business, you pulled on your Iwatobi high school uniform and walked downstairs. You kissed you grandma good-bye and grabbed a piece of toast from the toaster, letting it hang from your mouth. Slipping your feet into your shoes, you opened the door to see Makoto standing there with his usual smile. “Good morning, (Name)-chan.” “Good morning, Makoto.” You smiled in return. “I’m guessing Haru isn’t ready yet, so we should probably go get him.” The brunette smiled sheepishly and you nodded, slinging your backpack over your shoulder and walking out.
