A/N: AU where Makoto and Haruka have never met before.

Haruka sighed in annoyance. "Why yoga, Rin? I didn't take you as a New Age fanatic."

"For the last time Haru, I am not a 'New Age' fanatic. I thought it could take your mind off your… break up… I know Steven meant a lot to you…" Rin awkwardly looked away, as they kept walking down the street towards yoga. The mention of Steven made Haru's face turn more stoic than it already was.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Haruka clenched his jaw and looked away.

"C'mon, Haru," Rin tried to reason; his arm reached behind his head. "I know he meant a lot to you. Besides, you'll really like yoga." Rin smirked.

Haruka looked at him suspiciously, but didn't question his best friend, shaking his head instead.

They reached the building where the class was going to be held. It was... cute Haru decided. Small, but welcoming even though they had not even entered yet. Rin opened the door and Haruka followed in with an open mind. Well… As open as Haruka's mind could be. The room had windows to let natural light in and the dark wood glossed so beautifully. Rin studied Haru as Haruka looked around.

"Let's go ahead and put our mats down," Rin suggested. Rin moved towards the empty space in the middle of the room and rolled out his mat. Other people were either standing around socializing quietly or already beginning stretching exercises. Haruka looked around and sighed once more and rolled out his blue yoga mat next to Rin's. He plopped down onto his mat, and waited for the instructor.

"What time does the class start?" Haru asked his red headed friend.

Rin shrugged. "Usually eleven."

"It's 11:15."

"Yeah? So? The instructor could be running late. Be patient, Haru." Rin replied.

Haruka grumbled in annoyance. Rin began stretching, and five minutes later, the door opens and a man Haru and Rin's age with brown hair and green eyes and a gym bag on his back walks in all flustered.

"Sorry I'm late! The stray cat tried following me again," pink dusted the man's cheek and Haruka couldn't help but notice how cute the man was. A small smile appeared on Haru's face and he heard Rin chuckle.

Rin leaned towards Haru's ear and whispered, "I told you you'd like yoga."

A blush also began creeping on Haruka's face and he turned to Rin and quietly whispered, "Shut up."

The brunette walked towards the center of the room, but stayed towards the wall and rolled out his mat. "Okay, well, let's get started then, shall we?"

XXX

The instructor- Makoto, Haruka learnt his name- was one of the most attractive men he had ever seen. He thought his ex was hot, but Makoto took hot to a whole new level. However, actual yoga was hell.

The poses had Haruka almost falling flat on his face. He was making a fool of himself in-front of the man who did every fucking pose perfect. Rin was absolutely no help. He would burst out laughing with his head thrown back every time Haru fell which then brought attention to them and Makoto would look over towards them in confusion. Haruka would respond with his head down and his face red from embarrassment.

"Okay, let's go ahead and go down to our Locust Pose," Makoto instructed. He began walking around the room. The people in the class began laying down flat on their stomachs, hands stretched out behind them, and rising their bodies off the floor. 'Easy enough,' Haruka thought. He began and followed what the rest of the class was doing. This pose was easy, but Haru couldn't raise his body high enough. Makoto walked passed him, but then stopped. "Here, let me help." Makoto leaned down to where Haru was stretching and gently put his hand under Haru's chin up. Haruka's blue eyes met Makoto's green ones. "There," Makoto said confidently, and much to Haru's dismay, moved his hand away and began walking back to his mat. "Okay! I think that's all for today."

People began packing and there were some women giggling in a circle behind Haru, whispering about how cute the instructor was. Normally, Haruka would roll his eyes, but he was just as entranced as the women. He rolled his mat up, and stood up. He glanced over towards Rin, but only saw an empty space. Haru's eyes searched for his friend, but couldn't find him in the room.

"Looking for someone?"

Haruka turned around and Makoto was standing behind him. "Uhh... Yeah… Matsuoka Rin…" he trailed off.

Makoto smiled, "I saw him go towards the bathroom. I'm sure he'll be back soon."

'How could someone be so… Friendly..?' Haruka asked himself. "Yeah. Thanks." Haru gave him a small, closed lip smile.

"I see that you're new. Mind telling me what your name is?"

"Nanase Haruka. You can call me Haru," he replied.

"Nice to meet you Haru. I see you were having trouble, but I'm sure you'll get a hang of it in a couple weeks," Makoto's smile never faltered from his face. "And I'm sorry about Matsuoka laughing at you." He gave a small chuckle. "If it helps any, Rin did fall on his face. Plenty of times his first few classes. You at least caught yourself."

Haruka almost smirked. "Thanks for that information. I'll be sure Rin knows I can now use that against him."

Makoto laughed. "Do you do any other physical activites?"

Haruka raised an eyebrow at him and Makoto instantly turned red. "I-I didn't mean it like that I swear. I-I just meant-"

Haru laughed, "I know what you meant." A big smile stayed on his face as he watched Makoto's obvious embarrassment. "I love swimming."

Makoto's blush began to fade slowly, "Oh. So, you're the one that races against Rin all the time huh?"

"Haha, yeah. Did he tell you?"

"Kind of. He'll come in a pissy mood some days to class, or overly happy. Almost every time I ask why, he says you either beat him or vice versa. I know Rin is incredibly fast, so for you to beat him… You must be good at what you do," Makoto inquired.

Haruka laughed awkwardly. He was uncomfortable talking about his talent sometimes. Well, when people tried to compliment him. He gave a small shrug, "I guess."

"I swam back in high school. I enjoyed it, mainly backstroke, but I don't really swim so much anymore. I prefer coaching."

Haru could see Makoto coaching even though he'd only known him for the past hour or so. "I only swim free."

"Sorry I took so long, Haruka," Rin came up to the two. "Hope I didn't interrupt anything important," Rin winked at Haru, who was glad Makoto was not really paying attention. "Ready to go?"

"Uhh… Yeah. I'm ready." Haru had his mat in his arms prepared to leave. "I'll… uhh… see you later…?"

"Tashibana Makoto, but Makoto is fine," Makoto smiled.

"Okay, Makoto," Haruka tried to suppress a smile.

"See you next week?" Makoto asked eagerly.

Haru tried to convince himself he was so eager because of a new student coming into his class, and not because Makoto enjoyed his company. "Uhhh… Maybe…"

"I'll take it. See you guys later, Rin. Haru." Makoto turned around and walked back to pack up his stuff.

Rin and Haruka walked out the cosy building back to the noisy street. "Soooo… Makoto…" Rin began.

Haru rolled his eyes, "He's… nice."

"Looking, and friendly. Don't you think he's just perfect?" Rin teased.

"If you like him so much, then you date him," Haru grumbled.

"No thanks. I have my eyes on someone else," Rin smirked. Haruka ignored him and kept walking back to the apartment complex. "I heard he's single, and isn't exactly straight…" Rin suggested.

Haru grunted in response and Rin sighed. "Fine. I'll do all the match making myself if you don't want to try for the sake of your love life."

"You sound like your sister," Haruka said.

"Whatever. I just think you guys would… actually be something together."

"You didn't think me and Steven would be?" Haru questioned his friend.

Rin shook his head, "Not really. I thought he was okay, but Makoto… Makoto is a good guy. Besides, I think he likes you too," Rin winked.

"Uh-huh, and how do you know that?" Haru asked.

Rin smirked. "I have my sources."

A/N: I might add onto this in the next chapter, but I need to go to bed. It's kinda long and if I tried to keep going to where they actually get together, this would be too long.
