Haruka and Makoto have been together for years. standing by each others side. they have been best friends since before they can remember, and now, the 17 year olds attend iwatobi highschool together.

Lately though, in the past couple of months Makoto has been become really popular with the girls:

the green eyed boy sat near to Haruka, with who he he was talking about whatnot, in class whilst waiting for morning registration; when suddenly a brown haired girl with grey eyes walked up to him, threw her hands on the table and shouted her confession 'TICHIBANA, I REALLY REALLY LIKE YOU!'. She immediately looked embarrassed and turned scarlet whilst everyone in the class went silent and stared at her.

Makoto, didn't know how he should react, he felt pretty awkward. he didn't return the feelings, in fact he barley even knew who she was. all he could do, or all he was capable of doing, at the time was offer a weak smile. he waited for everything to go back to normal, back to the chatter of his classmates laughing, talking and whispering to each other and minding their own business, but instead the atmosphere became heavier. the moment became more intense. one could even hear feather drop. the girl, even though she looked as if she was about to faint, stood there, she wasn't going to leave until Makoto gave a response.

After another 7 long seconds of eyes watching the situation, Makoto simply stated 'i'm flattered.' he paused for a moment and then continued 'but i'm not really looking for anything right now, sorry.'

the brunette looked as though she was about to vomit, and her eyes became red and puffy, she suppressed the tears that were on the verge of leaving her eyes. she slowly and shakily turned around, almost losing her balance, and at that point she just ran out of the room.

Makoto and Haruka shared a quick glance in confusion.

what just happened?

the taller boy then began to feel guilty, has he done something wrong? well no he hasn't, but he felt bad about the situation nevertheless.

but what he didn't see coming was that this was only the beginning.
