When the rest of the Iwatobi swim club was done in the aquarium, they met Makoto outside and headed to the trains to get to the shopping district. Rin tried on many outfits and even bought one. The rest of the boys tried on swimming suits. Gou ogled at their muscles and was scolded by Rin. When they arrived back in Iwatobi town it was evening so they headed to the nearest convenience store to get ice cream. They all sat around a table and conversed while eating their treats. Gou kept quiet as the boys spoke to each other. Makoto noticed and asked her why she wasn't very talkative.

"Ah," she looked away, "It's just nice to have everyone here and not fighting, I guess." she smiled, "I want to remember this for a while." Makoto chuckled.

"You can still talk." he told her. She shrugged.

"Ah, Makoto-senpai! You've got ice cream on your shirt!" she said. All heads turned to Makoto, sure enough his vanilla ice cream had melted down his shirt and onto his lap. Makoto blushed and shook his head.

"No one will believe me." he said. The table erupted with laughter and the teens tried to grab as many napkins as they could. Makoto frantically wiped at his pants and shirt.

"Ah, Onii-chan, can't we just have everyone come to our house so Makoto-senpai can get cleaned up?"

Rin chuckled and said sure. The kids made their way to the Matsuoka's home.

"Upstairs, Makoto-senpai." Gou said and led him to the bathroom while everyone else stayed downstairs to chat. When he closed the bathroom door she went to Rin's room to grab some pajamas. She knocked on the bathroom door, "I have some clothes for you." she said. Makoto cracked the door open a bit, Gou handed him the clothes through the crack but Makoto pulled her in and shut the door behind her, "Makoto-senpai!" she exclaimed and stared at his bare chest.

Makoto used his thumb to direct her head towards his face, "It's just us, Gou." he said calmly. Gou tried to look away from his piercing eyes but Makoto held her chin tight.

"No," she said, "everyone else is downstairs and-" Makoto pushed his right leg through her thighs. Gou's lower stomach went hot. She placed her shaking hands on Makoto's sturdy shoulders, "Not here, please," she begged while looking down, "not while Rin and the others are down there. Please." Makoto took a step back and sighed,

"Fine." he said and opened the door for Gou to leave. She quickly fled the bathroom and ran downstairs to find the boys fighting over Mario Kart.

She sat on the couch behind them and took a deep breath, 'That could have been really bad.' she thought, 'Teen boys are really scary.' Makoto came down the stairs soon enough and joined the boys on the floor in front of the T.V.

The front door opened and Gou greeted her mother.

"I hope it's alright with you, Mom, but we have some guests visiting." she told her. Their mother took off her shoes and sighed,

"Let me greet them." she nodded. The boys had calmed down long enough to stand up and bow when the woman walked into the living room.

"Hello M'am." they said in unison. The mother chuckled,

"My, my, what handsome young boys!" she said, "Do you all want to spend the night?"

"Eeeehhh?" Gou exclaimed.

"If it's not too much trouble Miss?" Makoto asked sweetly. Gou rolled her eyes at him.

"Of course, it's completely fine!" their mother said, "Gou, will you help fix dinner?" Gou sighed but nodded.

When her mother left to go to her room to get a change of clothes, Gou asked if a pizza was fine.

"Sure."

"Mmm!"

"Sounds good."

"Yeah."

"Will it have mackerel?"

Gou sighed and called up the nearest pizza place. She ordered a normal cheese pizza with two-thirds mackerel. Her mother came out and kissed Gou good bye; she wouldn't be home till late tomorrow.

"Will you at least be staying in a hotel tonight?" Gou asked and didn't try to hide her worried expression.

"Yes. Don't worry. Love you."

"Love you too." Gou said and watched as her mother left her alone in a house filled with four boys and a split-personality-pervert.

While waiting for their dinner Gou sat with the boys on the floor and watched them play their video games. When Rin caught her eye he grinned at her causing her to go a bright red.

When the pizza arrived everyone stopped playing and began eating. Haru was thankful for the mackerel slices. The teens were silent while eating their pizza until Nagisa exclaimed:

"Mmmmm, I'm bored!"

"We're eating." Rei explained.

"Still…" Nagisa pouted while nibbling on his pizza, "We hardly hang out."

"What do you suggest we do?" Rei asked. Nagisa chuckled,

"Spin the bottle, of course!" everyone choked on their pizza except for Haru and Nagisa.

"No way!" Rin shouted.

Rei choked down some water and said,"Nagisa, that's not fair. There's only one girl here so-"

"Oi, I hope you better not fuckin think you could even kiss Gou, you four-eyes!" Rin exclaimed and grabbed Gou's wrist to pull her close to him. Gou blushed and looked away from her brother. Rei held both his hands up defensively.

"Ehh? No I-"

"Aaaaah, Rei-chan, you don't want to kiss me?" Nagisa pouted, "That's the only reason I suggested the game." Nagisa placed his palm on Rei's inner thigh. Gou remembered the gay porn Makoto made her watch the other day and tried to refrain from imagining Nagisa and Rei in those positions.

"Please don't do that here." she told Nagisa with an unamused expression. Makoto chuckled and turned to Rin and Gou.

"I think I would like to kiss Gou." he said. Gou swallowed and felt Rin's grip on her wrist go tighter.

"Like hell that's happening, pretty boy!" Rin exclaimed and hugged Gou to his chest. She stared into her brother's collarbones.

"Hmm… Rin are you jealous?" Gou's eyes went wide with fear. She had a feeling something bad would happen, was Makoto going to reveal her secret to Rin? She turned her head from her brother's chest to see Makoto leaning down towards them, "Perhaps you'd like to kiss…" Gou watched in horror as Makoto's lips touched Rin's for a full five seconds. During that time, Makoto winked at Gou who was still in her brother's arms, "Me?" he finished when he broke the kiss. Makoto smiled his kind smile. The room was silent as everyone held their breath. Rin's face went from confused to enraged in three seconds.

"I'm gonna kill you Tachibana!" he exclaimed and let go of Gou to chase Makoto around the kitchen.

"Woah, to think Makoto-chan would actually do that!" Nagisa exclaimed.

"Makoto-senpai, you are truly something else." Rei added.

Haru just shrugged and continued eating.

Gou sat completely still, her heart was racing and her head felt foggy. 'Makoto-senpai kissed Onii-san...before I did.' Gou gripped her shorts and felt tears fall down, 'I'm being dumb over this, he was just teasing him, it doesn't mean anything.' she thought, 'And yet I still wanted to kiss Onii-san...'

"Eh, Gou-chan, are you okay?" Nagisa asked. Gou quietly stood up and made her way over to her brother, who was about to punch Makoto in the gut. She grabbed his arm and held it close to her chest.

"G-Gou?" he asked and stared down at her, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Makoto looked over Rin's shoulder at Gou.

"Enough!" Gou said with tears streaming down her reddened face. She gripped his arm tight enough to her chest that Rin tried to ignore the fact his arm was between her breasts, "Can't you please stop?" she asked him, "I want to go to bed." she said and cried into his shirt.

"Ah, okay, okay." Rin said gently and guided her to her room.

"I'm sorry." she sniffed when he tucked her in bed.

"Don't be." he replied and combed her burgundy hair back with his fingers.

"No, you were hanging with your friends and I suddenly-"

"Gou, it's fine." he said and let his index finger trail down her face. His finger lightly brushed against her lips and Gou held in a gasp. Rin kissed her forehead and smiled at her.

"Onii-chan, I love you." she confessed.

"I love you too." he replied." though he of course meant it in a brotherly way while she was actually in love with him. Gou smiled and turned away from him, trying to fall asleep.

Rin stood up and left her bedroom only to find Makoto waiting patiently in the hallway.

"How is she?" he asked. It took all of Rin's might not to punch him out.

"She's fine- she's sleeping." he told him.

"Look Rin I'm really sorry." Makoto told him, "About the kiss, and upsetting Gou." Rin sighed.

"I'm sorry too." he said and slapped Makoto's back.

"Oww!" Makoto exclaimed but smiled at the red head. Rin grinned.

"There, we're even, now let's go." he said and the two went down stairs.

Gou smiled in her bed. It was only seven at night but she still managed to fall asleep.

Gou woke up sweaty and hot at three in the morning. Frightened, she sat up and wiped tears away from her eyes.

'I was crying?' she thought.

"Gou-chan?" a soft voice called. Makoto stood in the doorway, one hand scratching his head, "Are you okay?" he asked, "I heard you crying." Gou shook her head, 'I was crying in my sleep.'

"Sorry Makoto-senpai, I'll try to be quiet." she laid back down on her bed.

"Everyone else is asleep downstairs." he told her and sat on her bed, "Do you want me to sleep with you?"

'Absolutely not.' Gou thought, but a "Yes, please." came out. Gou scooted to the opposite side of the bed so Makoto could get in. The two faced each other, accidentally breathing in each other's air. Makoto smiled at her; it was a kind smile. Again she was confused. Makoto was kind in one moment, teasing in the next, and then a completely different person. Gou didn't understand a lot of things, and Makoto Tachibana was definitely one of them.

"Why did you do it?" she asked him. He shrugged and pulled her blanket over her chin.

"I guess I wanted to tease you and Rin." he chuckled, "He was going to kill me." she chuckled along with him, "Thank you for stopping him."

"You're welcome." she chimed and lifted her chin over her blanket.

"I'm really sorry." he told her.

"Okay." Gou replied. Makoto blinked several times, "Something wrong?" she asked him.

"It's just- ugh I have the worst headache right now, that's all." Gou sat up and put his head on her chest, his nose was burried into her thin shirt and he could smell her peach scented soap,"Wait, what are you-" he blushed. Gou gently shushed him and massaged his head.

"I used to do this to Rin when we were younger." she said while lacing her fingers through his light green locks, "Whenever he had a headache, he always said it worked." Makoto rested his forehead against her soft chest.

"Still, this is a bit- mmm!" Makoto held back a moan and bit her shirt, hoping she wouldn't notice.

"Ah, sorry am I hurting you?" he shook his head. 'This girl practically has me at mercy and she doesn't even realize it!' he thought.

Gou continued to massage his head and play with his hair, "Hey, Makoto can I ask you something?" she asked.

Makoto looked up at her. Her red orbs glowed in the dark, "Sure." he said.

"What was the… the kiss like?" she looked away but continued rubbing his head.

Makoto laughed quietly, "You're really curious about that aren't you?" she stared back at him and he lifted his head up so his nose was touching hers, "Would you like to taste it? I'm sure it's still stuck on my lips-" Makoto expected her to blush and look away, but instead she took his face in her hands and kissed him. It was quick but thorough, and he could taste the strawberry soda she drank earlier. When she pulled away, Makoto wanted to kiss her again but was stopped by her expression.

She was frowning, "I'm sorry Makoto." she told him. He sighed and laid his head on her chest, "Tomorrow you'll go back to being mean and demanding, right?" she chuckled.

"Yeah." he breathed.

"Good." she said and fell asleep with him on top of her.

There's your MakoGou ^.^ it was really fun to write.

BET YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT RINMAKO KISS WERE YOU!? Rin secretly liked the kiss, that's probably why he was so upset.

Anyways please review guys, it makes so happy!
