Tachibana Makoto x Nanase!Reader

You skipped happily beside your twin, humming a random tune to express your delight; how could you not? Getting such a treat from Haru was something to behold, and you had already thought of everything to make him accept the guy you liked (or loved…? But that's for you to decide). Although, Ama-sensei stopped you and your sibling before you could make it out of the school; she held a gentle yet somewhat worried smile as she called out to the blue eyed swimmer.

"Nanase Haruka-kun! Good thing I found you, can we talk for a moment?"

He nodded, a bit unsure, and followed her inside the teachers' room; you, being his dear sister, just went after them despite the lack of Amakata's permission – she rarely got mad at you or the swimming club anyway.

The brunette sighed softly before passing a paper with some annotations to Haruka.

"Listen, Nanase-kun, I know English is not your best subject, but I managed to convince your teacher to let you retake the test, and this is what he said you should study. It is your last year in Iwatobi High, after all… And what kind of homeroom teacher would I be if I allowed you to fail when there was something I could do about it, right?"

It took you a whole lot of willpower not to grimace; was that an anime reference Ama-sensei just made?

Haru sulked a little before nodding to the ex-model; it was not as if he could refuse the chance she worked so hard to provide to him, and failing at only one stupid subject was out of question (it was great how they simply ignored your presence there also).

"Right. Thank you, Ama-sensei."

She nodded, the everlasting smile on her lips as she waved you two out.

"Sure, Nanase-kun! And Nanase (F/n)-san, do help him with that, alright?"

You agreed with a mock salute, soon dragging your brother out and towards the school gates. And, just as you had predicted, a certain gentle giant waited patiently for the two of you. You heard from Ama-sensei that coach Sasabe had managed to find another person to help him with the kids, meaning he would free Makoto of his deeds in the Iwatobi Swimming Club Returns; with that, coach Sasabe decided to just give the teen a call when school period ended, consequently allowing him to walk home with you and Haru – or rather, the pastry shop.

"Hey, Makoto-kun! Don't you have to help coach Sasabe today?"

Playing innocent, you tilted your head at him, your arm linked with your twin's. Makoto rubbed the back of his neck, looking slightly forlorn at the situation; at the same time, one could almost hear Haru furrowing his brows.

"Ah, no, actually he just called to tell me he already hired someone else, so I'm free now..."

He sounded so sad it broke your heart a bit; your raven haired twin already had a solution, on the other hand.

"If you liked teaching the kids so much, you could always go to college and graduate so you can become a teacher..."

You grinned brightly, encouraging the tall male to follow his new dream; he already seemed eager to start college, and the thought he'd make a good parent briefly crossed your mind.

"Yeah! Maybe me and Haru-nii will keep you company in Tokyo, right?"

As indecisive as ever, your brother scrunched up his nose a bit, but said nothing; he had yet to decide what to do with his life, despite his beliefs of how everyone became ordinary when they hit adulthood. You knew he'd make up his mind sooner or later, so you just helped him from the sidelines.

The three of you started walking, and Makoto gave you a grateful smile.

"Thank you, (F/n)-chan, I'll keep that in mind."

"No problem! Oh, also, do you wanna come with us and get some cake? To cheer up a bit?"

He tilted his head, considering the idea for a few moments; you almost thought he would say he had to take care of Ran and Ren, but he finally agreed.

"Sure! Where are you headed to?"

Upon knowing it was the pastry shop near his place, a relieved look crossed his face. The plan was working marvelously so far, much to your pleasure.

*Time-skip!*

You took a bite of the heavenly (fav/cake) placed neatly on your plate, the flavor spreading itself in your mouth; you even let out a tiny moan at the sensation, making a certain green eyed boy blush furiously. Haru just rolled his eyes, though; he thought you were just exaggerating, but your passion for that particular cake rivaled his passion for water.

The plan you formulated to confess crossed your mind, and you struggled to keep a straight face as you put your fork down, gaze connecting to your brother's as you began a staring contest. He also had no idea of what you were about to pull off, so surely it would be a reaction worth recording; your phone peeked out of your bag, camera recorder on.

"Haru-nii. You got me my cake, so now I should tell you who's my crush."

You were forced to pause as the giggles were almost bubbling out; you recomposed with a long sigh. Makoto seemed slightly troubled at that, thinking you were all head over heels for someone his best friend wasn't really fond of; after all, what could have gotten you so nervous besides that? Your twin waited with a calm demeanor – on the outside only, though.

"I really hope you don't hate me, Haru-nii..."

He looked confused.

"Why would I hate you? (F/n), you're my twin, I couldn't hate you even if I wanted to."

You sniffed a bit, thanking the heavens the pastry shop was currently empty, leaving very few spectators of the show. Mustering up a shameful expression, you locked eyes with Haru, a visible red hue on your cheeks; he appeared a bit disturbed, on the other hand.

"Haru-nii... I love you."

Almost choking at his once more confused visage, you coughed lightly into your hand.

"I-I know, you're my sister, I-I love y-you too."

Seeing the stoic male stuttering so much warmed your heart, but it didn't make Makoto's face any less funny. Apparently, he'd caught on what you meant before the freestyle swimmer, and his eyes were the size of saucers; he looked absolutely horrified.

"N-no, Haru-nii, I don't t-think you get it... I really love you... M-my crush...is...you..."

It was so painfully obvious the second it clicked on his mind what you were actually admitting, you just couldn't hold back a snort, but you quickly covered it with a bitter laugh. It amused you how big his eyes got and how adorably pink were his cheeks; you could've sworn you saw his blue irises twinkle a little, but maybe it was just your imagination.

"I'm a disgusting younger sister, right? I-I'm sorry, I should've kept it to myself... If...if you could pretend I never said anything, we can go back to being normal siblings! B-but I understand if you just can't forget it and if you hate my guts and...uhm..."

You were torn between ending the play that instant or just continue to see more expressions from your dear Mako-chan. As for your brother, he still found himself in a speechless state, mind going in circles as he observed your regret filled face.

"(F/n)... I-I-"

The 'Back Muscle God', as you liked to call him (just to see his ears gleam red), gasped in pure horror as he managed to figure out what Haruka was thinking, promptly rising from his seat to slam his hands on the table violently.

"HARU! Don't you dare accept her feelings! You can't, she's your sister! What are you even thinking?!"

Such an outburst for a gentle giant; with that, there were two things happening that you definitely did not foresee when you thought of that confession project: Nanase Haruka having a younger sister complex and Tachibana Makoto going berserk over the 'twincest'. Those aside, the plan was running extremely well, much better than expected – and you inwardly complimented yourself for putting up that camera.

Alas, enough was enough. Before it all went too far for you to fix it, you smirked, causing the boys to pause for a moment, a glint of uncertainty in their eyes. The smirk grew into a smile, then into a grin, until you finally burst out laughing; you failed to suppress the noise with your hand, but hey, you did try. The situation was merely way too comical from your point of view, and of course, keeping a straight face was currently out of question. You sucked in short breaths in between giggles, your cheeks already reddening considerably and tears brimmed your eyes; to say they were puzzled was an understatement.

Suddenly, you bent your head down, your hair covering most of your amused visage as you abruptly quit laughing. With a sigh, you looked up, the curtain of (h/c) locks revealing your calm façade, which contrasted with the mischievous spark lighting up your (e/c) orbs.

"I'm sorry. It was just too funny; I couldn't help myself! Anyway, it was just a joke, okay? Please, Mako-chan, don't have a stroke, and Haru-nii...I guess for you it's no nosebleeds, right?"

An evil laugh left your lips as Haru blushed; Makoto only stood there, though, hands on the table as he blinked and attempted to get a grasp on such a predicament. The brunette soon plopped down on the chair, his expression showing despair as he remained clueless to the real meaning behind whole thing, a long sigh leaving his lungs before he lightly face-palmed.

"Why, (F/n)-chan…? J-just...why?!"

You giggled a bit more, – let's be honest, you'd be laughing about this for a while, even more so because you had a video of it all – taking a sip of (fav/drink) before dismissing his indignant stare with a wave.

"C'mon, Makoto-kun, I already said I was sorry, it was just a joke! Don't be mad at me…"

Your voice trailed off; you needed a breather before finally releasing the real bomb.

"Besides… I just did it to show Haru-nii that the fact that I have a crush on you it's not so bad… But I guess it backfired, right?"

You laughed awkwardly, a hand scratching the back of your head as you tried to lighten up the mood. Bewildered blue and green eyes looked your direction, the latter showing signs of joy as a smile presented itself on Makoto's lips. Haru seemed torn between relief and disappointment, thus he didn't look too displeased with the fact it was his best friend you had been crushing on; he settled for relief, smiling the tiniest of smiles your way, then nodding towards your soon-to-be boyfriend, who in turn lightly took your hand in his larger ones.

"(F/n)-chan, are you serious?! You really like me?"

Doing a double take at the warm feeling in your hand, you averted your gaze to the side, a small pout surfacing.

"Please don't make me repeat it, Makoto-kun..."

His loveable chuckle reached your ears, and your pout was replaced by a smile.

"Okay, sorry. But h-hey, I like you too, s-so..."

Tachibana seemed at a loss for words, so your brother decided to lend him a hand.

"(F/n) wanted to re-watch (fav/movie) this weekend, but I have to study English so I can't keep her company."

Shooting him a grateful look, Makoto smiled happily.

"Right! (F/n)-chan, do you wanna watch it together? I can even bring snacks!"

Your blush matched his as you nodded.

Well, that went much better than expected!

*EXTENDED ENDING!*

On the next Saturday morning, Haru woke you up with a gentle nudge.

"(F/n). I'm going to study with Rin at Samezuka. Your breakfast is in the kitchen."

You groaned as you struggled to get up, rubbing your sleepy (e/c) eyes.

"Okay… Don't come home too late, it's dangerous…"

If his personality wasn't so cool, he would've scoffed at your remark, but he only nodded before patting your head. Your twin didn't leave after that, though; he hesitated for some unknown reason, as if debating over something troubling, until he leaned in to place a soft kiss on your forehead.

"You can handle yourself, but if you need me, just call."

You smiled warmly, but that turned into a sly grin.

"Yeah, yeah… Siscon."

His cheeks went pink, and he furrowed his brows while avoiding your gaze.

"… I'm not a siscon, I'm just looking out for you."

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say...onii-san~"

Tired of your teasing, Haru just walked out of your room, grumbling something about you being cuter when you were younger. You weren't one to miss opportunities like that, of course. Before he could close the door, you called out.

"SIS-LOLICON!"

A loud bang followed, and you stifled your giggles in your beloved pillow. Surely he would've been a lot nicer and gentler had he known of the accusing video in your possession – no doubt, that was the perfect blackmail to use whenever you wanted to get things your way.
