(Haruka Nanase x Reader) Passion (Drabble)

(A/N: OOC SO MUCH OMGGGG) 

pas·sion :  an object of desire or deep interest

Haruka Nanase, third year. The best free-style swimmer at Iwatobi High. He never really cared for much anything besides swimming and his friends. Former close friend of (F/N) (L/N). Secretly cares about her in a "more than friend way". He won't admit it though. 
(F/N) (L/N), second year. One of Iwatobi High's greatest scholar and athlete. She is captain and setter of Iwatobi's volleyball team. She held feelings for a boy who would marry a pool rather than a person. 

"(F/N)-chan!" Your perky friend Nagisa yelled.

"For the last time, no, I will not join the swim club Nagisa-kun."

"But whyyy?" 

"Because, I only play volleyball." You turned away. "I have to go to practice now, see you." 

Nagisa pouted as you walked away from him.

Rei caught up to the speedy blonde. "You can't just leave me like that Nagisa-kun!" 

"I was just trying to catch (Y/N)-chan!"

"She's not interested Nagisa-kun, how many times does she have to tell you that?" 

The blonde sighed. Then once again, dragging Rei this time, he sped away, to the pool.

"Sorry we're late! I was talking to (F/N)-chan and--"

"If she doesn't like the water, the water doesn't like her." Haru deadpanned.

"But she's an amazing athlete! She probably is good at swimming too!" Nagisa whined.

"Enough! We're doing physical training out of the water today. We've asked the volleyball club to split the gym with us," Gou yelled. 

"Okay, Gou... Haru! Put your clothes back on!" Makoto screeched at the stripping boy.

-In the gym- 

"Nice serve, (F/N)-chan!" Your team cheered as you performed your jump serve. Your team libero, was determined on trying to receive one of your serves, and just when she thought she was ready... The ball dropped as soon as it went over the net. It was a floater. She yelled. 

"Oi you dumb protege! Don't trick me like that!"

"Sorry, ehehehe..." You smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of your head. 

"Woooah! (F/N)-chan is amazing!" Nagisa exclaimed, causing you to turn and glare at the swimmers.

"You guys are on the other side of the gym." 

Gou ran out from behind them and hugged you. 

"A-ah okay, that's enough!" You said shoving her off of you.

"Sorry! I just couldn't resist, you're so cute in uniform (F/N)!" 

A light blush covered your face. "Shut up." 

"So tsundere (F/N)!" She said, poking your cheek.

You glared at her again and she ran back to where the swimmers were. She instructed them to perform laps around the court and to do push-ups and sit-ups after each lap. 

Rei, Nagisa, and Makoto nodded in understanding, while Haruka stared at the volleyball players. 

"(G/N)!" You yelled as you tossed the ball to the tall wing spiker. Haruka took note of the burning look in your (E/C) eyes and swift toss. The wing spiker slammed it through the block. 

"Nice kill!" Your team exclaimed, high fiving the wing spiker. 

"Nice toss, protege-chan~" (G/N) said as she patted your back. 

"Shut up, I was already fired up you know..." You said, face flushing.

Haruka thought that was charming.

After you decided your team had done enough drills, you took a water break. 

"Hm? Where's my... Oh." 

Your bags were missing from its original spot with the volleyball players, and instead with the swimmers. You saw Haruka quickly walk away.

"Not suspicious at all, Nanase-kun!~" You yelled at him. 

You rummaged through your bag and realized he has your water bottle.

"Nanase---" you were pulled into the janitor's closet. 

Turning to look at your kidnapper, it was Haruka. 

"Thanks for babysitting my water bottle Nanase-kun, may I please have it back?" 

"Haru."

"What?"

"Call me Haru."

"Okay, Haru, can I please have my water bottle back? Before I die of dehydration." 

He hands you the water bottle and you drink. 

"Why are we in here again? The girls are probably wondering where I went and the boys will probably--" You were cut off by a pair of lips on yours.

"W-w-w-what?" You stuttered after you both pulled away. 

"You're compassionate and determined. A force to be reckoned with. Someone who I have... Had a crush on for so long." He looked away, flustered. 

"I... I..." You blushed, looking at your kneepads. "I would say the same for you, Haru." 

His eyes widened. "Does that mean..." 

It was true, you two had known each other for a long time. But with his passion for swimming and yours for volleyball, you both drifted. He only wanted to go to the pool. You only wanted to stay on the court. Somewhere along the way, you found yourself alone. You missed him, not acknowledging that you had fallen in love with him.

Breaking the silence you said,

"They say your passion is swimming, correct?"

"And your passion is volleyball."

"Then, Haruka Nanase, will you be my passion as well?" His eyes widened and he watched you smile, the brightest smile he has ever seen. 

He pulled you into an embrace and kissed you once more.

Then the closet door opened. In a panic, you pushed Haruka away but ended up falling on top of him. It was too late.

"FOUND THEM!" Nagisa screeched. The volleyball team and swim team peered into the closet finding you two in an awkward position.

The volleyball team chuckled as the tsundere captain walked out of the closet, picked up her bags and proceeded to walk out.

Haruka did the same.

"Where are you two going?"

"Beach." "Volleyball."

"Beach Volleyball." you both said in unison.

He took your hand and held it in his. 

You both had a mutual passion now... 

Each other.
