Rin smiled as he scrolled through his feed at the recent picture he had posted on the social media app. Australia's autumn April months had rolled around, enabling the weather to be a cool yet sunny day for the island nation's citizens. Rin had risen up early as per usual to his daily routine in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend Kiyoko.

Speaking of Kiyoko Rin smiled as he heard the heavy -lazily- footsteps of the blonde female still half asleep as she rubbed her eyes and her vanilla blonde locks messily loosened ponytail. Slight patters were heard from behind by the young juvenile golden retriever Kita to which Rin had begged Kiyoko to get.

"Your messenger woke me up, why did you wake me at six-thirty in the morning again?" she yawned as she slumped her head on Rin's back as he watched the egg and bacon sizzle on the pan.

"Don't blame me beautiful your the one who made sure to remind you to wake up at this time yesterday," he chuckled as the young canine jumped on his owner's legs as they peered down.

"Hey, Kita," Rin laughed as he picked up the retriever as it barked in happiness.

"Do you want some breakfast Kita?' Rin said as it barked in agreement.

"It's food or the bacon Rinny?" Kiyoko said jokingly

"uh, he's been a good boy he can have some," as he put the dog down.

"Going to North Sydney Olympic pool?" She quipped wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Yeah, you have your uni classes today," as Kiyoko groaned.

"I hate Professor Norman's boring lectures," she whined

"You'll get through it, babe," he said pecking the tip of her nose as she scrunched it up, "You're so cute,"

"Shut up and watch the food before it burns," she chuckled heading over to Kita as she narrowed her eyes at the brown turd.

"Rin, Kita pooped!"

"Can you clean it,"

"you wanted it you clean it!" she called out

Kiyoko walked through the state university gates as large trees overshadowed the female figure wearing a blue singlet top and matching jeans with a white unzipped jacket overlapping the sides of her abdomen. 

Her phone vibrating she peered at the message sent my Rin.

miss you already beautiful, I'll pick you up after uni.

Smiling at her boyfriend's affection she only turned off the phone as she heard her friend and classmate run up from behind.

"Kiyoko!" The female brunette waved.

"Hey Sandy," Kiyoko greeted

"Ready for Professor Norman's lecture?" Sandy nudged playfully as Kiyoko groaned

"Don't remind me of that demon in disguise," she grunted

"Oh me and my friends from my physics course are having dinner afterwards, wanna come?" 

"Sorry, I have plans with Rin," she replied

"The very hot boyfriend from Japan Rin?" she raised a brow

"Yes don't-let-him-here-that-or-I-will-never-here-the-end-of-it-Rin my boyfriend Rin," she chuckeled

"Does this very Rin have other very hot friends?" she questioned as they walked inside.

"If you can speak fluent Japanese," 

"I'll take my chances... what about that swimming mate he swims with?"

"He's already in a relationship,"

"Dammit,"

"Rin aren't you leaving?" David asked as Rin's ruby orbs looked up at the orange haired male as he sat om the bench.

"I'm gonna swim a little longer," Rin replied

"Okay, have fun," David waved off

"Thanks, see you tomorrow,' Rin called out as his phone vibrated as he looked at his message from his kouhai.

Just woke up from hibernation!

Rin chuckled as he saw the picture of the younger Mikoshiba holding his black beetle with Nitori in the back.

"Those guys never change," Rin said as walked outside positioning himself behind the middle block snapping the back of his goggles as he positioned himself on the block then diving as he propelled himself in the water. Getting out he heard the grey-haired coach call out his name as he appeared with a tall blonde middle aged man.

"Rin, you're still here," His coach Will said, "Good timing actually,"

"What is it coach?" Rin inquired.

"I want you to introduce you to someone. This is my good friend Mikhail," he introduced

"Hi Rin-kun, Will has told me about you," he said in Japanese

"Rin-kun?" Rin said perplexed

"He used to live in Japan," Will informed

"Those are some nice muscles... glad to know you Matsuoka Rin-Kun,"

"Nice to meet you too," he responded as Will nodded as Rin got up again onto the starting block as he formed his diving stance. Diving slpit ends were his friend Haru used to be though in distant countries the two swam their freestyle strokes speeding down the lanes as if they were racing each other once more.

"Rin-kun!, Cho-very good!" Mikhail exclaimed unkowest of the outdated slang word.

"Cho-very...?'

"It means amazing in Japanese slang,"

Accelerating on his turn his strong kicks allowed his arms to stretch wider allowing him to go faster due to streamline. Mikhail, intrigued, not seeing such a swimmer and muscles this proficient since Kiyoko, Anastasia and Pieter. 

Reaching the wall Rin looked on the otherside of the pool only Haru across the international seas was a mirror of him too as both got out of the pool. 

"That was truly impressive Rin-Kun,"

Kiyoko walked out from the university gates exhausted as she was a familiar male dressed in a black baseball cap, black coat, white shirt and black jeaned pants as he scrolled through his phone.

"Rin!" Kiyoko called out smiling as Rin's eyes immediately widened as he smiled as Kiyoko ran up to him embracing a hug from his beloved girlfriend. 

"How was your day beautiful?" he asked kissing her cherry lips as she giggled.

"Tiring but better now that you're here," she joked as he smirked

"Now who's the cheesy one?" he teased

"Koshka!" A familiar male voice called out as Kiyoko stiffened, there were only two people in her life that called that Russian nickname.

"Misha?" she froze as the cheery blonde male hugged her tightly as Rin stood there confused.

"Koshka! It's been so long, not since the Rio Olympics three years ago!" he bubbly said

"Can't breathe-!" she cried as she was put down.

"you know Koko?" Rin raised a brow.

"But of course! I was her friend's old coach until she fired me... but anywho I'm so glad to see you again!" he beamed

"Fired?" Rin said

"Anastasia fired him," Kiyoko filled in.

"wah! Koshka how do you know Rin-Kun?" Mikhail asked as the two of them sweatdropped.

Did he not see us kiss? they thought in unison 

"she's my girlfriend," Rin replied wrapping his arm around her shoulder as Mikhail gasped.

"Wah?! Oh! My goodness, this is so cute!" he wiped tears dramatically.

"So Misha how have you been acquainted with Rin?" Kiyoko questioned

"Oh! He's my new protege! I'm his new coach!" he huffed pridefully putting his hands on his hips.

"Protege, wow Rin, did you bribe him?" Kiyoko turned to Rin

"What?! No! Mikhail was at my practice this morning and he saw me swim, next thing he asked me was to let him be my coach and I agreed," He explained.

With Mikhail high and odd standards Kiyoko thought

"So! Koshka! Rin-kun! Where are we eating?!" Mikhail asked as the two looked at each other.

"Foodtruck?"

"Burgers"

Kiyoko sat down as she glanced at the excited Mikhail glancing at everything like a five-year-old on Christmas morning. Kiyoko sitting opposite him on the small circular table as Rin was ordering food from the food truck. 

"So Mikhail what was the reason you wanted to teach Rin?" Kiyoko asked

"He is a very impressive swimmer! So much potential stored that boy!" He said as Kiyoko only raised a brow, "His muscles are the kind that one only sees every thirty years Koshka! It is truly a find for me! Is it his regimen? What does he eat? I tell you I've never seen his kind since the time of Pieter Hauer in his prime! You are very lucky Koshka to have him as a partner!" Kiyoko blushed at all the praise her boyfriend was getting.

"I really don't know how to answer the last comment," she looked away as Rin carried a tray of half-wrapped burgers and fries in a cardboard box.

"oooh! It smells so cho-very good! Maji de!" he used more old Japanese slang words as Kiyoko sighed.

"Dig in, Koko, Mikhail," he handed out as Kiyoko was about to take a bite when she stopped seeing Mikhail utterly entranced with it.

"You okay Mikhail?" Rin questioned

"the patty beef is so good, so juicy and full of flavour!" he exclaimed

"Yeah it's Angus beef, and they only cooked it medium rare," Rin said as his bottle-green eyes twinkled as Kiyoko chuckled.

"Home sweet home," Rin said as he turned on the lights whilst the other was supporting Kiyoko's weight as Rin piggybacked the blonde female.

"So sleepy," Kiyoko yawned making Rin chuckled as he put her down as his eyes widened.

"What the hell?" 

"Koko!" the grey-haired man exclaimed dressed in a bathrobe.

"Wait is that Pieter Hauer?!" Rin shouted

"Pieter?! Wh-, how did you even get in here?!' Kiyoko bombarded him with questions as he stroked Kita's golden fur.

"My girlfriend dumped me... again, can I sleepover?" he begged

"Pieter!"

"Your mother's pancakes were delicious!"

"Pieter!'

"Your mother also gave me the key... to which I actually stole from your father," he sheepishly said, "Oh! Hello Kiyoko's boyfriend!" he waved as Rin only stood there still processing what was going on.

"Pieter," Kiyoko narrowed his eyes at him as he yelped dramatically putting his hand over his heart as she metaphorically arrows pierced through his heart.

"Please~! I came all the way here as well to continue coaching you!' He begged

"Rin?" Kiyoko sighed.

"If it's for one night I don't mind and besides you've got the Sydney Championships here soon, and besides... I'm a huge fan can I take a photo with you!"

"But of course!" he smiled as Kiyoko glared at the two of them.

"Both of you. Bed. Now," she said sternly, "Since your so vivid Rin you can sleep with uncle Pieter on the floor,'

"Kiyoko!" he whined

"Kita, come,' she said

"don't worry she gets her stinginess from her father- ow!" he yelped as Kiyoko threw a nearby pillow at him.
