[his eyes... glaze over at most of this text]

[decides... to ignore it]


it's really refreshing to work with somebody with that kind of focus and drive, though.
gnasher: (your hardened heart it's softened.)

i didn't know you guys were rivals.

[tho... now it puts a lot of those interactions into perspective lmao]
gnasher: (nothing lasts forever except you & me.)

YA GOT ME

[holy shit... real rival stories, he loves them]

[grins, on the other side of the screen]


i definitely know how you feel. it must be energising to have your rival on your team, always pushing you to do your best.

my rival's in another school, but we had joint practices a lot. competitions were always really intense because of it.
gnasher: (although my heart started to race.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-08 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ah...]

not that competitions aren't usually intense, but... there's definitely something that's more satisfying, competing against someone you know has worked hard just to try and beat you.
gnasher: (you are my mountain you are my sea.)

[that is, roughly, how he feels about Haru; granted, he would have only put things in those terms when he was 12 and hyperactively obsessed with Haru's swimming, but]

[(but now he's pretending he's a cool kid and keeping his obsession for Haru's swimming within acceptably cool parameters)]


my rival's here, yeah. he's got an effortless kind of natural style, it's pretty thrilling to watch him cut through the water so easily. but it's even better getting a fire lit under his ass.

[ok, maybe... he's still basically 12 and going on and on about Haru's swimming]

his name's haruka nanase. he was the weird guy with blue eyes at the BBQ, carrying around the water bottle.
gnasher: (if i had to ante up.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
he's aiming to go pro, too. he got scouted for a team in tokyo.
gnasher: (truth be told i'm not entirely hopeful.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
you can come watch a practice of ours if you don't distract anybody.

[the rest of it -- gives Rin pangs in his chest. he remembers being younger, and not thinking he'd ever match up to stunning natural talents, like Haru, like the boys he swam with abroad, who has bigger frames and longer arms and legs, and always left him coughing up water]

[he'd had to work hard to surpass those gifted with natural advantages, and it's made him a stronger competitor mentally and physically. he understands, now, why Hinata's love for volleyball is so fierce -- he's had to earn his place in that world, every step of the way, and you didn't do that for something you didn't love]


people with natural ability are amazing, but hard work is what gets you to the international stage. being tall is better in swimming, too, but i'm not gonna let some six foot guy, or some guy who's always had it easy, take first place from me.

you better not either.
gnasher: (jump right in and swim 'til you're free.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-13 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Rin feels -- proud, embarrassed, and flattered. he wonders, for one of those delusions of grandeur moments (which won't be delusions when he makes them real), if this is the kind of feeling he'll get as an Olympic swimmer. he wants to inspire athletes like Hinata, and feel that warm glow of what he's just felt on an even bigger scale. he wants to be worthy of someone looking up to him, and maybe with people like Hinata putting their faith in him, he will be]

i could show you some wet training that could help you out. swimming is helpful for almost any sport, but especially volleyball, since it strengthens your arms, legs, and stamina, all at once.
gnasher: (keep it simple.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-13 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
you know any formal strokes?
gnasher: (we drank the ocean dry.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-13 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
that's called the crawl, or free. that's one of my best strokes, along with butterfly. you ever try back or breast?
gnasher: (i forget that i can remember.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-13 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
i'll show you how to do them all. you can use whatever ones you're most comfortable with to improve your training.

when are you free? you got a suit?
gnasher: (feast on that horizon.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-13 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
so, 4 or 5? right before dinner?

try to get something form-fitting, like a speedo or knee-length jammers. don't waste your money on baggy trunks, they're pointless for training because of the drag resistance.
gnasher: (hooks are for wimps.)

[personal profile] gnasher 2015-05-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[if you show up with baggy trunks he will force you into one of Nagisa's extra speedos and that'll be the end of it]

whatever colour you want is fine.

[prepares himself for a load of orange ass]
