"Nagisa? Makoto? Haru? Are you—are you all naked?" asked Gou.
She seemed conflicted between shielding her eyes and ogling them.
"Gou!" said Nagisa, waving his hand and swimming towards her.
Gou stared at the oncoming nakedness.
"Gou, we were just having a nice swim. You can join us!" said Nagisa.
Gou seemed to consider it for a moment. Then she blushed, glaring at Nagisa.
Nagisa flashed an innocent smile.
"Stop teasing me!" Gou said.
Makoto sighed. Why didn't people understand that the more they reacted, the more Nagisa would torture them.
Gou frowned at him.
"You can't do this!" Gou said, waving her hands towards the pool. "You can't break into a random pool"
Nagisa continued smiling. Haruka continued swimming. Makoto prepared himself for a long lecture.
"What if you had gotten caught, and they had decided to shut down the club?" asked Gou.
Nagisa shook his head. "Gou, don't worry about it. We've done this plenty of times before" Nagisa said.
Makoto winced. Those were not the words he would use.
"What? You've done this before?" asked Gou.
Nagisa looked slightly ashamed.
"Nagisa!" said Gou.
"It wasn't on purpose this time… we were just going to get ice cream, but then Haru saw a pool and, well…" Nagisa said.
Makoto sighed. He wished he had better control over following Haru, but he seemed to instinctually indulge the other boy's whims…especially regarding breaking and entering.
Makoto shook his head. He was young; it was fine as long as it didn't go on his police record.
"How did you find us?" asked Makoto, trying to distract Gou from her anger.
Gou turned her glare from Nagisa to him.
"Rei and I sat around all morning, waiting for you guys."
Makoto frowned. So that where Rei had been all day.
"Then I spent the last hour asking people where you had gone, and I ended up here. And now I find you breaking into a pool" Gou said.
Makoto tried to look repentant. Nagisa just looked confused.
"But..why were you stalking us?" Nagisa asked.
"I wasn't stalking you! Today was the day we were supposed to do our fund raiser" Gou said.
Nagisa blinked.
"Oh. That was today?" asked Nagisa.
Gou only stopped her glaring when Haruka swam back to her end of the pool.
She blushed.
"A-Anyways, you need to get out before someone notices! And put some clothes on!" Gou said.
Then she turned around and swept out of the room.
Nagisa waited a beat before resuming his usual idiocy.
"I think Gou appreciates Haru the same way you do!" said Nagisa.
Makoto sighed. He wished he could drown Nagisa without his conscience bothering him for it.
"Aw, Makoto, don't be sad! You've known Haru much longer. You have the advantage in the fight for Haru's love"
Makoto felt an oncoming headache. He resisted the urge to shake Nagisa.
"Nagisa…no one is fighting for Haruka's love, especially not me. We're just friends" said Makoto.
Nagisa continued to grin that infuriating, knowing grin.
"Makoto…don't be shy. I can see your giant homo crush on him. It's obvious" said Nagisa.
Makoto took a calming breath. He forced a smile.
"Sure Nagisa. Whatever you say" Makoto said. He swam towards the edge of the pool and got out.
"Anyways, we need to leave, or Gou will be upset" Makoto said.
Nagisa pouted. Haruka ignored them both and continued swimming.
"You can't avoid this forever!" said Nagisa.
Makoto avoided his eyes and walked to his pile of clothes. He shook off the water and redressed.
Nagisa was wrong. Makoto knew his own determination. He could avoid this for as long as he liked.
