Author: DatHeetJoella Fandom: Free! Pairing: MakoHaru Rating: M Summary: Unlike most people, Haruka wasn’t very eager to meet his soulmate.

Chapter 28: One Goodbye Too Many
By the time Makoto came back from the vending machine, Haruka was able to regain most of his composure.

He always treasured his alone time, so this would be a nice breather - but deep down, he knew he was lying to himself.
