Even with the ocean between us – by Miaou Jones (Makoto/Rin, High Speed! timeline)
When he looks at Makoto, Makoto is looking up at the stars. Rin looks up, too. He finds Kujira again, swimming in the chaos of the deep, but not lost—shining in the inky ocean of the night sky, held together by invisible connections... Rin is old enough now to understand about the gravitational forces between stars but really he thinks it's something more, something that binds them to one another and makes each individual star part of the story...
The silence breaks when Makoto takes a deeper breath. "You saw me on the bus, huh?"
Rin looks over but Makoto is still looking at the stars. He nods, takes a breath of his own to speak, but he doesn't know what to say and lets it out to rejoin the night air.
Makoto sighs, too. "Sorry, Rin."
Rin's brow furrows. He starts to reach for Makoto, to make Makoto turn to him, but only ends up closing his hand on the air and dropping his empty fist to his side. "What are you apologizing for?"
"I didn't want you to see me like that." Makoto looks down from the sky, smiling as he turns to Rin.
