[ he looks slightly put out at having lost his perch, and also having to have a real face-to-face conversation about something this embarrassing. he's never had this many heart-to-hearts with rin before. if this even qualifies. it feels a little too stupid to count as a heartfelt conversation. ]
I don't hate Rang. [ this is an understatment, he likes rang a lot. that doesn't change things. he has nothing against guifei either but he's still annoyed. possibly because it's not about either of them? ] It's still weird when he hugs you.
[ this happened in w1 ]
...Because of swimming. [ ????for once in his life he has no idea how this relates to swimming??? ]
[ his emotions answer first, oddly nervous, lacking the wealth of confidence he has when it comes to other things he cares about, like swimming.
after a second, he just puts his head back down, winding his arms around rin's torso thoughtlessly. because he won't have an excuse to later, and because rin said he didn't mind. ]
[ Haru presses close again, and Rin feels like his heart is going to burst out of his chest. There's a distinct sense of longing in the emotions he puts out, something he tries to temper because- this is good. This is the friendship he's been missing for the past five years.
This is more than he'd ever imagined getting from Haru, and he doesn't want him to feel nervous about Rin leaving swimming for any reason again.
He winds his arms around Haru in return, holding him close. ]
You don't have to worry. Nothing's going to distract me. [ He can't believe he has to say this. ] Even if I had the cutest girlfriend in the world.

Are you worried... that I'll spend less time swimming if I date someone...?

...Yeah. I'd be worried if you did.
