The Camera Loves You (And So Do I)
Free!, Makoto/Haruka, R, 11,270 words
When Makoto takes up modeling for the university magazine, Haru learns a few things, among them that he should listen more carefully when Makoto talks and that Rin is too distracted by meeting swimming legends to give much advice. Somehow, he muddles through.
It wasn’t as if Haru always tuned him out, but Makoto always had a lot to say and it wasn’t always important (see: the life updates about Shigino Kisumi). Haru had been -- reasonably, in his opinion -- distracted by his poor practice times that morning. So he didn’t hear every word Makoto said about his university magazine and photoshoots and Kirishima-san because he’d been thinking about his turns, worried they’d gotten sloppy.
Later, he would wish he’d been paying closer attention.
