Sousuke had just been about to answer, already having at least that ready to go on his tongue. But Kise, like a true basketball athlete, passed the ball elsewhere and left him with open air to speak of. The right time... He knew the right time. When Rin wouldn't be burdened by knowing it. When he wouldn't be held back by Sousuke. Rin had a dream to accomplish, unfortunately a dream he'd have to accomplish without him.
Even though he said he'd wait for him...
A soft sigh was Kise's only answer instead and he pushed himself up with a silent motion in spite of his large body. “Don't feel bad, Kise. Rin already laid into me when he found out about my shoulder.” A bittersweet smile appeared, gentle at the memory. “I'm not really a team player, Kise. I always thought that swimming was a solo sport. You dive in the water and you're alone.”
But his growth over the years, his friendship and separation from Rin, the breakdown of his shoulder and wreckage of his dreams, his reunion with his best friend... They'd changed all of that. Though, old habits and thoughts die hard even still. “I was wrong. I know that now.”
But lunch and the ocean were good options to leave this behind.
