CHAPTER 2

The school bell has once again rung signalling the most favored part of the day, lunch time. An hour or two of relaxing, chatting with friends, sometimes cramming with assignments and the most-awaited part, the sharing of bento between those gorgeously fit swimmers.

Sadly, no bento sharing happened since Nanase Haruka took the day off because or not because of yesterday's incident. Due to this, Tachibana Makoto is in a daze, just sitting steadily in his seat even when everyone else is standing up to take their lunch. But, not long before he could drown himself with worrying, his energetic kouhai rushed towards his classroom dragging his uninterested kouhai as well.

As soon as they arrived in front of Makoto's classroom, the hyped rose-eyed kouhai shouted "Mako-chan!", waving vigorously as if they haven't ran in a flight of stairs. The other, still catching his breath and as Makoto saw this sight, he stood up and walked towards them.

"Nagisa, Rei, what's up? You seem to be in a hurry."Makoto asked with a worried voice as he frowned a bit.

"It's nothing serious! Me and Rei-chan are here to get the Iwatobi statue Haru-chan made." replied the golden-haired bubbly first year, Hazuki Nagisa with a strikingly thumbs-up pose.

"Ohh... but, Haru seems to have taken the day off..."changing his worried voice to a more worried one or a guilty one as a matter of fact.

"Eeehh?! but we were looking forward to it!" as his thumbs-up pose suddenly vanished and turned into a hopeless [ we-have-to-get-it-no-matter-what-happens] facial expression as he clenched Makoto's shirt, pushing and pulling him back and forth.

"Actually, it's just Nagisa-kun" as the disinterested one, Ryugazaki Rei fixed his eye-catching ember glasses and finally caught his breath.

Nagisa lets go of Makoto and turned his tantrums to the dark blue- haired boy instead. "Rei-chan! No need to act so formal! when we get the statue, we'll place it on the left side of the pool then we'll make Rei-chan stand on the right to pose his sexy swimmer technique!"

"I will not!"quite annoyed by what his classmate said. On the other hand, Makoto chuckled a bit to hide his guilty voice earlier.

"Anyway Makoto-sempai, did Haru-sempai catch a cold or something?" asked Rei not out of being worried but out of curiosity as to why Makoto's emotions kept on obviously showing as it was not before.

"I don't really know..."

"eh?! Makoto-sempai doesn't know something about Haruka-sempai?! That's preposterous!" Rei's eyes bulged, not believing an ounce of what he had just heard.

Rei has always wondered how Makoto seems to know everything about Haruka. There were a lot of "childhood friends" situations that he knew about but he could never understand the bond between those two; for it was a bond that everyone would wish to have. They do not only know each other's psyche so well but even without words, they completely understand what the other is thinking.

"And Mako-chan, you sound a bit off. Did something happen?" Nagisa added.

As Makoto saw Nagisa and Rei's reaction, he let out a huge sigh and told them "fine. I guess I'll tell you both at the cafeteria."

The Iwatobi highschool cafeteria was busy as ever serving food to students left and right. Makoto really planned to tell them somewhere private like their usual rooftop spot but surprisingly, the rooftop was used that day in preparation for the upcoming school festival. In other words, Makoto didn't have any choice but to whisper the things he's about to say in that huge crowd. They settled themselves in the middle of the cafeteria and have started to eat their lunch as Makoto narrated the gist of what happened yesterday at Haruka's place.

"WHAAATT?! Mako-chan, you kissed Haru-chan?!" Nagisa raised his voice in a medium volume without any disgust. Instead, he was quite happy and interested.

"Shhh! Can you keep it down,Nagisa?" as Makoto put his finger in front of his mouth to hush the joyous blonde. He chuckled nervously, looking around to check if anyone heard his predicament.

"ohh...so, Makoto-sempai kissed Haru-sempai." nodding his head. "wait, WHAT?! MAKOTO-SEMPAI KISSED HARU-SEMPAI?!" as the lavender-eyed boy's world stopped for a moment.

Rei let all these out as loud as he could then he fainted afterwards. Thanks to that, all of the students-mostly Makoto's classmates-heard that jaw-dropping revelation. Makoto, unable to do anything, palmed his face- mostly to hide his humiliation. Nagisa, as unreliable as he may look, stood up and explained whatever it was that first came to his mind to grab a hold of the situation.

"etou ne! Haru-chan is the name for Mako-chan's new pet dog! He told us that he loves it so much that he gave it a pet smooch. But Rei-chan over here is over reacting because he's allergic to dogs. A-ha-ha~ " laughing forcibly as he continued,

"There's no buzz here or whatever. Just go on with what you're doing, minna-san~ " acting cutely.

And somehow, the shaken cafeteria returned to normal as Nagisa sits down. Makoto let out another huge sigh but having a friend like Nagisa, he was also relieved.

"Somehow, you saved me there, Nagisa. Though it was really awkward! Mou, I can't really figure out how you can come up with such stories."

"Don't make it sound like I'm a weird character, Mako-chan." Nagisa puts his arms around Rei and made him sit down again.

"So, you finally did it Mako-chan. It's time to sell your soul to the devil now that you've sexually harassed Haru-chan!" imitating those horror-type movies set-up and voice.

"Hey! I didn't rape him you know! Don't make me sound like an abusive character!" Makoto argued, frantically trying to convince himself that it was not abuse at all.

"ehehe~ so, what really happened?"putting his arms on the table and leaning in closer to hear the whole story.

This time, Makoto told Nagisa the whole story and not just the gist so that he could understand more and not react hastily as he did before.

"How shady, Mako-chan! You totally abused him!" Nagisa said in a tone that'd make Makoto admit that what he did was wrong.

"da-ka-ra! I didn't abuse him; he let me so I got kind of carried away." Makoto continued to argue even though he somehow felt that it was becoming useless.

"That doesn't mean that you should kiss him and leave him afterwards!"making Makoto more guilty than he already was.

"Wa-wah. That's true. He might be angry after I suddenly left. But! I didn't have a choice! I need to you know, je-jerk-off..." saying the last part as quietly as he possibly could.

"uwaaah. I can't believe Mako-chan can do those things." Nagisa said sceptically.

"The hell are you trying to imply? I'm also a man you know." Makoto countered to his self-defense.

"And Haru-chan is also a man. Don't you think he let you kiss him because he wanted you to? Why not go all the way instead?" sounding pushy and know-it-all.

"Now who's the abusive one? What you're telling me is really scary, Nagisa. It's like you've experienced it before. Also, how could I continue when Haru-chan hasn't even told me that he loves me?" raising both his shoulders as if in question.

"How could he when you didn't even say anything about what you're feeling either! Listen Mako-chan," pointing towards Makoto's face "Haru-chan is a tsundere so you should make the first move. Always!" now acting all high-and-mighty.

"What's a tsundere?" his face clearly dumbfounded.

" Makoto-sempai-" Rei reached for the table as if coming back from the depths of his grave.

"Rei! Are you okay? Well, that sure rhymed..." asked the moss green-haired boy.

"Rei-chan has come back to life!"making Nagisa more lively.

"I'm fine. Anyway, Makoto-sempai, a tsundere is one who acts cold on the outside but is really warm inside. I also think that Haru-sempai is one of those types since he's so sensitive. So if you're serious about him, you need to force your ideas on him and never give up!"

"As expected of Rei-chan, the most abusive king of tsunderes here. Well, that's what I like about you anyway." changing his tone from kind-of-joking to serious. Hearing this, Rei flushed red and just yelled out Nagisa's name like always.

"haha... thanks guys. I think I feel better now. Sou da nee, I suppose I should tell Haru how I feel."

Seeing how motivated those who are younger than him were, Makoto got his confidence back. He realized that it wasn't like him at all to worry about things complicatedly. As the bell rang again, Nagisa and Rei rooted Makoto for the last time as they went to different directions towards their own classrooms.

After class, Makoto rushed to Haruka's house following the same path they have always walked on, day in and day out. He then realized that it's lonely walking home alone. Rather, it would be too late to start walking home alone since he has always been with Haruka. Thinking about their past, Makoto doesn't seem sure anymore if it's him or if it's Haruka that needs the presence of the other so much. Or who knows the other's personality the best. Anyway, when he finally reached Haruka's house:

"What am I going to say to Haru? Should I say sorry first or should I tell him that I like him first? I don't even know if he's angry that I just left like that..." ruffling his hair and mumbling as he was to open the main door to Haruka's house. After a minute or two, he remembered Nagisa and Rei's encouragement so he decided to step forward and open the door. He looked cautious like a thief as he headed towards Haruka's room on the upper floor.

"whew. Ok. This is it. I can do this."those words echoed in Makoto's mind as he twisted the door knob of Haruka's room. "Haru! Haru! I'm entering ok?"

As Makoto took a peek in Haruka's room, he saw that Haruka was not there but he still entered his room without any hesitation.

"Are? I wonder if he's taking a bath..."

Meanwhile, Haruka was really in the bath the time Makoto was hesitating to open his main house door. Half-submerged in water, Haruka pondered:

"Makoto... why do I feel this way? I think my heart's about to explode. It really is strange. For the first time, even though I've been here all day, water can't calm me down. I have to see you, Makoto..."raising one of his hands in the air. Overwhelming himself with these thoughts, he felt a chill through his spine and decided to finally get out of the tub.

As Makoto continued to wonder if he's going to just leave quietly, just leave a note before he leaves quietly or just wait patiently inside Haruka's room, the door suddenly opened.

"Haru!" Makoto, holding a paper and pen for his note.

"Mako!" Haruka, drying his hair with a towel.

Looking both shocked and stiff as they saw each other, they continued in synchronize:

"What are you-"

"You first, Haru-cha-uwaah!" before Makoto could finish what he's supposed to say, Haruka ran towards him and hugged him. Makoto was so shocked and lost his balance. Haruka ended up hugging him on top of his bed.

"Haru-chan..."unsure about hugging back, Makoto suspended his arms in mid-air.

"Just let me be like this for a while, Makoto. If I can't hold you like this, I think I'll go insane." Haruka whispered as he cuddled his face in Makoto's broad chest.

"wait, Haru-chan... aren't you supposed to get angry at me for kissing you all of a sudden yesterday?" Makoto replied as he tried to deny his feelings.

"Who cares about that? I told you that I would make an exception if it's you." sounding like it was the most normal thing to do between them.

"But if this goes on Haru, I'm the one who's gonna go crazy." Makoto replied as he kept on being swayed by Haruka's answers.

"Urusai naa... listen, Makoto. I met you because you're supposed to take care of me and spoil me. Got that?" Haruka muttered softly as he continued to bury his face in Makoto's chest.

"Haru..." and with a final sigh of longing and desire, Makoto lost his control and took Haruka into his arms. He gently pushed down Haruka onto the bed, reversing their position earlier. "I give up..." as Makoto started to inhale the scent that is purely that of the boy.

"Funny, if it's Makoto's eyes... I wouldn't mind staring and drowning myself in it forever." as Haruka found himself lying on his back in a split second.

"uwaah. Haru-chan really is cute." And without any second thought, Makoto leaned down and planted a kiss on Haruka's forehead. He lowered his head and trailed kisses on Haruka's neck, taking his lips firmly afterwards.

"hmmm!...ah..."Their tongues entwined as each moment passed by. At first, Haruka resisted as he gasped for air but with Makoto's gentle coaxing, he slowly returned the deep kiss. After a few minutes, Makoto slowly lifted his mouth from Haruka's, breathing as hard as he could.

"ah...Ma-ko..." which sounded really sexy so Makoto completely lost his cool. He then continued his advances on ravishing the raven-haired boy. He slightly paused and kissed Haruka's collar bone.

"Ma-ko- wha-what are you-" there was a slight tremble in his voice but before he could say anymore, Makoto let his hands wander across the other's chest and caressed it . Haruka shivered as he kept on unbuttoning his shirt. Makoto noticed this and pushed his weight upwards with one hand.

"Haru, are you cold? you were shivering a while ago..." he asked, staring down at the crimson-faced boy.

"No. I was just...uhm..." flushing like flaming red as he looked away from Makoto's piercing eyes.

"hmmm. Well in that case, I'll warm you up." loosening his green necktie and the first few buttons of his shirt.

"Huh? What do you mean by tha-"before Haruka ended his query, Makoto got a hold of his nipples and played with it.

"Ngh..." looking luscious as he felt that passionate touch.

Makoto continued to tease him " So Haru, can you feel it here?" And with Haruka's continuous moaning, the olive-eyed boy began to lick one of his nipples.

"Mako...cut it out.." Haruka cried as another shot of pleasure trailed on his spine. Makoto didn't heed his pleas and went on.

"Haah..ah...hmm..." getting more and more aroused by Haruka's groans, Makoto nibbled the small peak,

"ah! Ma-ko-to!.." Haruka twitched, grasping Makoto's shirt from the back. He then laid his hands on Haruka's lower half as he was about to unzip his pants when Haruka gently sneezed.

"ah...gomen..." he said thoughtlessly, with only the mindset that he spoiled the moment.

"Haha. It's so Haru-like." Makoto places his forehead on top of Haruka's "But Haru, you really seem feverish."

"hmmm... I didn't get wet by the rain but I guess I stayed too long in the bath today like twelve hours." sniffing as he said this.

"Eeehh?! twelve hours?! Mou Haru, I'm not there to pick you up and you ended up staying that long?" nagging like a worried mother. Ehem. Correction. Nagging like a worried boyfriend.

"That's why you have the responsibility to be always here" as he looked away and pouted.

"Hai. Hai. Ore no Haru-chan. I'll get you medicine so just lie down ok?"Makoto kissed Haruka's forehead and pushed himself up, supporting his weight with his arms then headed for the door of Haruka's room.

Before Makoto twisted the door knob, Haruka tried to sit down and replied again with his cold voice "Who are you calling YOUR Haru-chan?!" Makoto chuckled lightly, not failing to notice that the statement lacked venom.

"You of course, who else would it be?"smiling like he always does which apparently seemed that he was smirking and turned to Haruka as he said this: "ah! I have something to tell you, Haru."

"Wha-what is it?" as he spoke in a soft panting voice.

"Haru-chan... I love you." And shut the door the moment he finished saying it.

Haruka was once again overpowered by silence. But now, he could hear no raindrops, only the sound of his heart- beating like there's no tomorrow. Clenching his hands to his shirt, he muttered: "I love you too, Makoto..."

So there ya go. xD

Sorry if I spoiled the moment. haha xD you'll find out soon enough =3
