Makoto was standing at the airport waiting for Sousuke with a bouquet of flowers. After high school, it turned out that they went to the same university in Tokyo. They befriended, when they found out that they had a few classes together. After they got to know each other, Makoto found out that Sousuke had gave up on finding a way to heal his shoulder. At first Makoto respected Sousuke's choice, but later he couldn't accept how miserable he knew Sousuke was. With a lot of convincing from him and Rin, Sousuke got surgery on his shoulder. Finally, after 2 years of physical therapy, he was able to train for the Olympics, and that is why he was at the airport. Sousuke was coming back home from the Olympics with a silver and gold metal, in butterfly 100 and 200, Makoto was his welcoming party.
Makoto looked down at the flowers and smiled. Daisies, Yellow Lillies, and Yellow Roses. I wish I could've got Red Roses, but we aren't dating. Even though I wish we were. Makoto didn't know when, but when he was helping Sousuke through his recovery, he unexpectedly fell for him. Though, he doesn't have the courage to confess to him.
Later, Makoto spotted Sousuke from the crowd and ran to him. " Sousuke!" Makoto couldn't contain his excitement and jumped into his arms. Sousuke smiled sweetly at him. " I'm so happy for you, Sou!" Makoto finally let go and looked up at him. " I know that you don't really like chocolate, so I got you flowers." He handed the flowers to Sousuke. While Sousuke looked at the flowers he explained the meanings of them. " The yellow Lillies represent happiness, and the daisies means hope, and the yellow roses means friendship." Makoto didn't noticed Sousuke's flinched when he mentioned friendship.
Sousuke smiled at him. " Thank you, Mako. I wished my flowers were that meaningful. " He pulled out a bouquet of red roses. Makoto's eyes widen as he hold the flowers. " Makoto, after you stayed by my side through my recovery, I realized that I love you. I love your kindness, your sweetness, your clumsiness, I love your everything, Makoto. I told myself that when I came back I will confess my love to you, so Makoto Tachibana will you do me the honor of becoming my boyfriend? "
Makoto started to cry. " Yes! Yes! I will." They walked out of the airport holding hands. Makoto's only regret was not getting the red roses too.
