Apparently my friend loved this and wants me to write more. Although she is dear to me, she is far from a "dear". Hence, why I must continue, since I got threatened that if I do not she'll never stop barging into my room everyday :I I have a need for privacy... Also, just putting this out there, I probably facepalmed and cringed SOOOO MUCH writing this, because I'm not typical a cutesy, lovey dovey type, but whatever, I tried :P

Hopefully I did well... maybe... sort of... ehehe... enjoy!

Once he woke up, all Haruka could hear to was Nagisa's voice that kept repeating his name. The boy was hovering above him, face full of worry. It took him a moment to realize where he was at, but the smell of disinfectant told Haruka he was at the nurse's office. He never had a reason to be here, but he had remembered the smell when he started working at the school, since everyone is usually given the tour of the campus at some point. So, Haruka stirred in bed letting out groans of discomfort due to how hard the air mattress they had in the office was, and gained attention from those near him.

"Haru-chan's awake!" announced Nagisa.

"Haru!" Makoto rushed over to his side, his hands finding their way to Haruka's, "Are you okay?". He had been sitting with Rin and Rei on the other bed that was next to Haruka's. The sun that shined from the window nearby made Makoto appear like a saint to Haruka. His brown hair seemed to have a golden shine. Light freckles were now noticeable but adorned the male's face perfectly. His green eyes full of concern glisten and appeared vibrant. Taking it all in, Haruka felt like he might faint again.

"I'm fine..."

"You sure? You fainted out of nowhere! You're not sick, are you?" Makoto asked.

"I just... didn't sleep much last night... I'm fine now..." Haruka breathed out.

Hearing this, all of Makoto's worries seemed to wiped from his face. "Well, at least you're not sick. You should take care of yourself Haru," Makoto said as he smiled, sending Haruka's heart into full motion. But this moment didn't last long. Alas, there were others in the room that seemed to read the air the two were making, but knew there were still things to do. Rin cleared his throat loud enough to get eyes on him and continued to talk on.

"Haru, if you're fine, get your lazy ass up to class. They're about to start," said the redhead, signaling the clock.

Haruka huffed at the man and pulled the sheets off of himself.

"Here," said Makoto, holding his hand out for the other to take. Haruka gladly took it, noting how perfectly his hand fit, and was pulled up to his feet, his eyes being at level with other's nose. They stared at each other for a while, as if trying to find something within the other's gaze, but stopped once they remembered their friends were still present and waiting.

"Well, we better hurry!" Nagisa chirped as he ushered everyone out, "Weird, I thought the nurse would be here. They didn't come early like everyone else?"

"Nah," responded Rin, "I talked to them the other day, said beauty sleep was a necessity or something. This is why I make my students learn how to patch up."

Although he knew Rin was saying something he probably didn't care about, Haruka couldn't focus on anything but Makoto. He knew he loved him, probably love at first sight. He just couldn't believe someone so perfect could exist in the world. But maybe he shouldn't force his feelings on to the latter, who knew if he felt the same way as Haruka. Although, it wouldn't hurt to attempt to get close to him.

"Shall I walk you to your class?" offered Haruka, which made Nagisa, Rin, and Rei stare widely with disbelief. They were all thinking the same thing; Haruka offering to walk someone to the Educational Department area? It was unlike him.

Before Makoto could even respond, Rin interjected.

"No! Are you crazy Haru?!"

Makoto looked at redhead confused, while Haruka shot glares instead.

"Why? What's wrong Rin?" questioned Makoto, still appearing to not fully understand why the departments are kept separately in the building.

"You see-"

"Haru-chan doesn't know his way in that department!" Nagisa cut in, "Rei-chan knows! He'll take you!" Rei was pushed forward to Makoto.

Haruka wasn't sure what to say. He sort of remembered the structure of the school. He knew his way to the places relevant to him, the whole tour through the educational department was a bit fuzzy to him. Still, he wanted to spend a bit more time with Makoto. He felt such ease and peace being with him, although he barely met him.

"I guess I'll see you later, Haru," is all Makoto could say. Haruka nodded at him, and then Makoto and Rei made their way to their department. Once they were out of sight, the trio made their way to their own classrooms. Of course, Nagisa and Rin knew they had to bring up Haruka's current state.

"Haru-chan," called out Nagisa.

"Mm?"

"You in love with Mako-chan?"

Haruka stopped abruptly. How did they know? Did they have eyes on Makoto too? What is this? His heart sped up, he could feel a warmth spread across his face, all the way to the tip of his ears. He was probably blushing, and he knew by the amused look on Nagisa and Rin's face, it was damn noticeable.

"I-I-I-I-I-" stuttered Haruka. Why wasn't his mouth working like it usually did?

Rin let out a chuckle and shook his head.

"Looks like our little Haru is all grown up," Rin smirked, "he even fainted at his sight."

"Shut up," muttered Haruka. Rin couldn't help but laugh, and Nagisa simply beamed at his bashful friend who seemed to be trying to hide his blush.

"Don't worry Haru-chan! We ship it!" cheered Nagisa, giving Haruka a reassuring shake on the shoulder. Although he appreciated it, Haruka still wasn't sure about all of this.

"Well... you guys think it's okay?" questioned Haruka, since he knew that it wouldn't be right to force his feelings onto someone else.

"What? That you both are men?" asked Rin, "No one gives a damn. Love is love no matter what gender or race-"

"No, not that, Rin. I don't care about that," sighed Haruka, "it's just... Makoto seems nice... and I don't want to ruin the chances of being friends because of how I feel..."

"Aww Haru-chan~!" cooed Nagisa, "It's not that difficult. You start as friends, and gradually grow closer by effort! We'll help!"

"But, I'm not exactly liked at the educational department... I can't go see him..." Haruka mumbled.

"He'll come to you!" exclaimed Rin. Haruka looked over at the redhead, surprised that he seemed eager to help. Rin seemed to read Haruka's expression, and responded, "Look, I've never seen someone so worked up over someone this quickly. And I can tell that Makoto could be good for you, so I'll help."

"The more the merrier!" cheered Nagisa, earning a grin from Rin and a nod from Haruka.

"As I was saying," continued Rin, "Makoto will come to you since I'll make sure Sousuke brings him to you. They're both literature teachers, so, of course, they must cross paths."

"Y-You're going to tell others?" stammered Haruka.

"Only close friends, Haru-chan. We'll all have your back," reassured Nagisa.

"B-But-"

"The faster the better, Haru. Before someone snatches him. You two will meet, you'll get his number, and you will commence a beautiful friendship, got it?" declared Rin, crossing his arms and staring right into Haruka's eyes. Though Haruka hadn't thought about this before, he knew Rin was right. He saw how the female staff in the morning couldn't look away from Makoto, and soon he'd be asked out to lunch by them. He must make his move. So, he nodded at Rin's commands.

"Good, now off to class Haru-chan!" Nagisa gestured at a door which led to Haruka's classroom. Haruka mouthed a 'thank you' to his friends, and went into his class to be greeted by several 'good mornings' from his awaiting students.

Nagisa and Rin made their way to their own classes.

"So," Nagisa started, "how hard is this going to be?"

"A bit difficult," admitted Rin, "seeing the way Haru is. But... Makoto doesn't seem to be fazed by him at all."

Nagisa wrinkled his nose, "Hopefully those damn teachers don't badmouth Haru-chan..."

"Hey, we got good men over there Nagisa," assured Rin, "as long as they're close to him, nothing will go wrong. Which reminds me, I have to text Sousuke to keep Makoto close and to bring him to our lunch."

"Oh! Me too! I have to tell Rei-chan!"

"Let's hope for the best then."

"Right! See you Rin-chan!" Nagisa waved at the redhead and rushed off to his classroom.

Rin waved back and sighed once the blonde was out of sight. He'd known Haruka for the longest time. They had grown up together, yet Haruka never showed any sort of connection or attraction towards anyone. Yet, here comes a charming man, and Haruka can't help but faint. Of course, it was hilarious, but at the same time, it was a bit sweet. Hopefully, he would be able to help Haruka achieve some sort of joy or happiness in his life. He never smiled at anyone, only when he saw some sort of body of water.

Just what's so different about you Makoto?

Ah...I'm just realizing everything that is going to happen in the future with this.

...

...

...I need to go get blessed.
