Ending

Haruka's POV

I couldn't see straight as both Rin and I pulled Makoto out of the swimming pool. We had just barely made it there as Makoto swam to the surface. I was panting hard and the dash from the park to the swimming pool had not been a fast one. It was at least a 15 minute drive there. We had made it there in less than 5. Looking to my left, I saw Rin sink to his knees trying his level best to hold in his sobs. I could barely register the fact that he air had been knocked out of my lungs as I ran and I too was gasping for air. I know it has been hard for Rin. First, he just had been given the position of swim captain as his sempai was retiring to go to college, then he was bombarded by the fact that his sister may or may not be seducing both his sempai AND his sempai's brother, and now this. I choked back a sob as I wrapped my arms around Makoto, hot tears streaming down my cheek as I felt his shallow breathing on my skin. I was afraid. No, scratch that. I was terrified. I have never EVER been so terrified in my whole entire life. My whole life was wrapped around Makoto's pinkie finger and if he ever left… I don't know what I'd do without him. He's my life. He's my pride and joy. I love him. He's mine. I remember when he said he wanted me to be his. I remember it so clearly. But now, I'm losing him. He's looking at me. I'm aware I'm crying. I'm aware that his hand slowly reaches for my face to wipe the tears and before it could reach the paramedics arrive. I'm screaming and crying as the paramedics swarmed into the poolside area. I don't even know how they got here. I thrashed and kicked and screamed my heart out as they took my Makoto away. Away from me. I felt strong arms pull me back and a strangely familiar and calming scent of cologne and musk. It was Rin. He was whispering calming words to me and I should be grateful. Instead of insisting that I was fine, I screamed and cried. I kicked and I shoved, screaming bloody murder as I heard the ambulance speed away to the nearest hospital. I haven't cried in years. Not when my parents left me, not when my grandmother died. They were distant. Now the one thing I hold dear to my heart is gone. And I feel like I'm drowning. But I still let it out. My sobs and cries. I didn't care who saw me. Not Rin, not the paramedics. I just kept crying. I couldn't stop the tears no matter how hard I tried. It felt so right to cry. Makoto… Rin… Rei… Nagisa… Gou… They were the only ones whom I let through the walls I put up. I surrounded my heart with walls so nobody could get through. But these special people... They did it anyway. They shovelled themselves into this cold heart of mine and there they stayed. Now Makoto is being rushed to the hospital, I'm vaguely aware of the sobbing Rin next to me, Rei and Nagisa are married and Gou is in university. The people who I trusted the most not to hurt my heart, have broken it. I'm broken. I'm broken beyond repair. All my walls came tumbling down. The walls that I spent so long putting up. All gone. Each wall broken down by the each of them as they all left one by one. Except for Makoto and Rin. And I'll be damned. I'd let them do it all over again.

Rin's POV

'Everything is gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay. Everything is gonna be okay.' I kept repeating to myself as the both of us pulled Makoto out of the swimming pool. It sucked. I couldn't help it as I began to sob softly, the tears and sweat stinging my eyes from the run. I told myself to stay composed for Haru's sake. But I couldn't. I just couldn't. When I saw him break down, I was selfish. I cried as well. It couldn't be helped. The Haruka Nanase I know doesn't cry. He doesn't break down and wail his eyes out. But it was happening and I was so stunned as he bent over Makoto who's eyes were fluttering open and close. It was no contest who would pull him out as we both did. Together. We were a team. We were family. It hurt watching family get hurt. And so I cried. I cried harder than I did before in my whole life. I couldn't bear to watch or to hear Haru's sobs or Makoto's breaths. It was pure torture. So I called the paramedics and in less than 2 minutes, I could hear sirens. The paramedics simply brushed past me and headed straight for Makoto. They had pried Makoto from Haru's shaky hands as he screamed and kicked them. I ran towards him with shaky steps and put my arms over him. I visibly saw him calm down for about a second in confusion then he began his rampage again, clawing at my arms till they were all red, kicking and begging me to get Makoto back. I wasn't used to this Haru. I was used to normal Haru. Monotonous Haru. Haru that-would-kick-your-ass-if-you-said-that-mackerel-wasn't-the-best-fish-in-the-world. But I couldn't . It wouldn't be fair to Makoto if as soon as he woke up, saw a crying Haru. That wouldn't be a very good look so intead, I opted to just holding him tight until he calmed down. It took a while but he was whimpering and tossing weakly as he used all his energy for the previous attack. I whispered soft and caring words to him as he whimpered and nodded at each encouraging word I gave. I couldn't let Haru see me weak. Never. Yet, he allowed me to see him in his darkest hours and it made me feel so good that Haru still trusted me no matter what, and I wasn't about to let him down now. If I didn't feel so weak in the knees, I would have hauled ass and dragged Haru into the ambulance but instead, we hitched a ride with one of the policemen to the hospital where they were treating Makoto. I was scared. The adrenaline was dying down and I could feel the strain on my muscles from the run. Wincing, I took Haru's hand in mine and squeezed it in a last silent comforting burst of effort as we were ushered to the waiting room outside of Makoto's ward. I always hated hospitals. Ever since dad… No. I hate dwelling on the past. As fast as my sore muscles would let me, I guided Haru through the empty halls of the hospital ward, sitting him down. His face was contorted into all kinds of hurt at the moment. I didn't want to ask anything and he looked like he didn't want to share. As we sat there, we waited, and waited, and waited. Finally, the doctor came out of the room looking just as tired as we were. I listened as closely as I could to whatever the doctor was trying to say but all I heard was mumbling and the steady sounds of the heart monitor beeping in Makoto's room. Finally the doctor released us and said that Makoto was alright and that he was barely conscious. Almost immediately Haru took off in a mad dash into the room, sobs threatening to burst out of his throat. I thought to myself, Oh why of all of us did this have to happen to Makoto.

Makoto's POV

I slowly opened my eyes to the feeling of a hand grabbing mine and squeezing tight. I felt the familiar grooves of the persons palm, and the familiar scent of Haru.

Dear sweet Haru.

The last thing I remembered before blacking out was reaching forward to wipe an angles tears. I couldn't really see but the scene in front of me made me feel like I was having Déjà vu. I saw Haru hovering over me, tears streaking his perfectly shaped cheeks. Once again I lifted my hand high enough to wipe those tears. As I wipe one side, he holds my hand close to his face and a distorted laugh erupts from his throat.

"I never thought I'd see you again." He mumbles quietly. And suddenly, all at once, it comes rushing back to me. The jump. The fall. The text. And before I know it, both Rin, Haru and I are all sobbing incoherently together on my bed, the three of us so thankful for each one of us.

Rin, my support through all these tough years and the epitome of awesomeness in my mind. The sole person who never gave up on me besides Haru.

Haru.

Haru. The person whose name crosses my mind at least a billion times a day. The person who loves me. The love of my life. My Haru.

.

My Haru-chan.
