I have been wanting to do this chapter for some time now... It is time for a change... dundundun...
Little warning before you start reading! I always imagine Rin's language to be a bit more colourful, especially when he's really angry and upset. So... yes :D

And for who has missed it! The SouHaru oneshot is up, guys! It's called Acting on Revenge, so go check it out!

...

"So how did it go today?" Rin asked casually, gaze focused on the TV. Sousuke had been flipping through channels, trying to find a show interesting enough to watch. Haru was sitting on the floor, close enough to the side table so he could make use of it, drawing pad spread out on the dark wooden surface. A sharp pencil was drawing subtle lines here and there, creating depth in the portrait he was making. For a while Rin had followed his hand, seeing how Sousuke's face was carved into the paper more and more. But in the end he favoured watching the TV, the noise pulling him in together with the flashing colours.

Teal eyes slid over to Rin for a second, the question not really sinking in at first. "Was alright," he eventually replied, remembering what he had done today. Rei had come over to the gym to work on his endurance and muscle build, and he had been quite enthusiastic when he entered the building. Rin had been there at first as well, but eventually left with his coach to continue his training inside the water. But Rin had experience working with Rei, having personally helped him swim better and learn all the different strokes.

Unfortunately Sousuke was not one to overly share and did not see the point now, even if Rin was honestly curious. From across the couch he gave Sousuke a kick against the shin, making those teal eyes move towards him again, this time eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. "How did it go?" Rin asked once more, emphasizing his words this time.

"It was fine. I worked out a plan, he followed it, and now he can pretty much work out on his own. He'll come back in next week and we'll see if we can add more to his schedule." Sousuke's tone was low and held that slight annoyance caused by Rin's kick. The guy was not really one to share, and this still wasn't a very interesting explanation, but Rin was aware he would not get more out of the Beta. Mostly because Sousuke personally didn't see anything interesting in it, so wouldn't share the details. The guy could be so difficult, but there was no point fighting over this now.

Deep red eyes slid over Sousuke's face as the Beta glanced back at the TV, focus gone from the conversation they were having. His attention was now on some type of reality show. They had thrown a bunch of different people inside a house and had them fend for themselves. The whole concept wasn't clear to Rin, but he knew there was a lot of drama there. The producers had really chosen the special ones to make the show interesting, and the different roles they all held made it all even more complicated. None of them really wanted to see the show, except for Makoto, who currently wasn't even here. He had a late class at the pool and would be home soon. Unfortunately they had gotten used to watching this show, so even Sousuke couldn't stop himself from really absorbing all the ridiculous scenes. One had started crying, again.

"So did you also have fun with Rei? Did you talk about anything?" Rin had turned his attention back to Sousuke, intent on continuing this conversation.

Teal eyes snapped back to Rin's face, and for a moment he could see the irritation in his features. But he stopped himself from saying anything short, knowing Rin just wanted to have a conversation. Just wanted to talk to his boyfriend, because it was a healthy thing to do, and Sousuke had gotten better at doing just that. "It was nice," Sousuke started, pausing a little longer as he collected the rest of the words he needed, choosing them carefully. "We talked about the training and how it would all work, and about us and about Nagisa and he." Again he fell silent, gaze sliding back to the TV when someone screeched in happiness. "Eventually we talked about what happened last week. How he had felt and he asked me what it was like for me, being the Beta and all." He shrugged, as if it didn't matter much, but Rin knew it did. Sousuke and Rei hadn't been great friends at first, but eventually they grew closer together once their roles in relationships really became an important part of their lives. "It was nice to talk about it with someone who's not in this relationship."

Smiling Rin turned back to the TV, happy to hear that. He didn't need to hear what they had actually talked about, because it was something between the two Betas. There were things Rin only shared with Haru.

Silence settled between them again, two pair of eyes directed at the TV. There was now some kind of voting taking place, the contestants, or however you wanted to call them, were all hating on one particular person. Why? Because he just fitted the part. And he was indeed kind of a jackass, getting on everyone's nerves, trying to meddle in everyone's forming relationships. There indeed had been some TV sex already, hidden away under the blankets. Makoto had been so thrilled when it happened, calling Nagisa to discuss this particular moment.

"Makoto is going to be sad that he missed this," Haru muttered, apparently distracted by the TV as well. His pencil was poised on the paper, stilled right on Sousuke's nose.

As the final announcement came and the guy was told to leave the premises, the rest of the drama started. He started yelling all kinds of obscenities at the others, because apparently he now had the freedom to. It was quite the cliché, but the kind of cliché Makoto would die for. And it was quite hilarious when the guy punched the door and found it actually hurting his hand more than the door. That did make Rin chuckle. This whole thing was just really pathetic.

Right as the show ended, the three heard the front door open, signalling Makoto was finally home. All three were waiting for him to enter, their bodies stilling completely. Rin was already shooting glances over his shoulder, wanting to deliver the news first, an excited grin on his lips. And then the door to the hallway opened, and they could hear the flip of Makoto's phone as he hang up on someone, ending a call.

"Guess who got voted off…" Rin said in a teasing tone, wiggling his eyebrows at their Alpha. Instantly Makoto's interest was piqued, green eyes growing wide as he looked at Rin. Excitement was thumping through his body as he moved forward, walking towards the living room area. And of course Rin couldn't wait till Makoto actually guessed. "Freaking Henry!"

"Really?!"Makoto's tone was high pitched, his smile matching the twinkle in his eyes. He crouched down at the back of the couch, leaning his arms on the back rest.

Even Haru had to smile at Makoto's behaviour, it being something almost endearing. Reality shows were really the Alpha's weakness, but thankfully the guy didn't want to participate in one. That would be a nightmare. "You really missed a great episode. He didn't appreciate being voted off much," Sousuke's pitched in, gaze now also on Makoto with a lopsided smile gracing his lips.

"Did you record it?" Makoto almost squeaked, pupils dilated as he looked from Rin to Sousuke to Haru, waiting for the answer. He would be watching it first thing in the morning, actually getting out of bed early for this.

Haru's pencil slid across the paper again, shadowing under Sousuke's eyes now to create the dark look the Beta held. "I planned it right when I got home," he said absentmindedly. He was the only one who had actually remembered to record it, even before the show had started, and Makoto was going to love him forever for it. Rin should remember these things too. It meant pampering and Rin loved being pampered by the Alpha.

"Thank you, Haru," Makoto murmured, smiling fondly at the Omega. And then he fell silent. Rin could practically see the wheels turning in his head, trying to plan in the show during his morning routine. Nagisa would be called early tomorrow and he better be ready for it, because this would need to be discussed. It was a miracle Nagisa hadn't called already. And then Makoto's eyes lit up again, remembering something else. "Oh, before I forget, Kisumi just called, and I invited him over for dinner on Friday."

No one answered right away, this sudden news hitting them like a brick. Rin could feel his stomach tighten, squeezing the emotion out. Invite Kisumi for dinner, in their home? It was a ridiculous idea, one no one agreed with, except for the unknowing Alpha. The one who should be anticipating on these things, should feel these things, but he was always so trustworthy and blind when it came down to this. Makoto didn't even notice the shift in mood now, oblivious to how this made the rest of the group feel. Haru's pencil had stilled on the paper again, and this time he actually decided to put it down, not wanting to finish his drawing now. Sousuke was staring at the TV, but not really seeing the shift in colours anymore, his brain trying to wrap its mind around this. And Rin, Rin was staring at Makoto as if he had lost his mind, the Omega carrying his emotion quite out in the open, especially when it came down to his lovers.

"And why would we want Kisumi over for dinner?" Rin gritted out, trying to not shove all of his feelings into his words right from the start. But his voice was low and threatening, making sure the Alpha knew he was upsetting them all.

Still clueless Makoto let his gaze shift between the four of them. Now he noticed the way Sousuke's foot was nervously tapping on the floor, bouncing up and down. And the way Haru was gripping the rough fabric of his jeans, knuckles turning white at the sheer force of it. But Rin was the more obvious one, staring straight at him, challenging him to go against him. Makoto should know better, but he was so blind. "I don't understand," he muttered, clearly confused by the whole situation. "Isn't he a friend of all of us?"

"For fuck's sake, Makoto," Rin replied, rubbing his forehead to massage some of the anger away. It was really coming up now, the tight feeling in his stomach growing more uncomfortable by the second. "Honestly how can you… Why don't you see… Just fuck, Makoto!" He couldn't even really explain why this was a stupid idea, and why Kisumi should not enter this place, should never enter this place while they are all here. In public it was alright, sort of. Rin would still feel on edge, but it could be ignored. This was different. But Makoto was just so gullible and Kisumi was a sneaky bastard.

The confused look only grew stronger on Makoto's face, his brain not keeping up with Rin's random rambling. Nothing was explained so far and he still believed this was an alright plan. "What don't I see?" he asked softly, no trace noticeable of his Alpha role. The confusion kept it down and he was not one who didn't allow his Omegas to talk back to him. This needed to be a healthy relationship, based on equality, but Rin wondered how long this would last currently. Makoto would not agree with them at all.

"Oh, I don't know?" Rin started, sarcasm seeping into his words like venom, spitting it out at their blind Alpha. "Perhaps the fact that all Kisumi wants is for you to claim him as your Omega and fuck him senseless, you freaking idiot."

As if he had been slapped in the face Makoto instantly shot up from his crouching position, green eyes turning a little darker as he stared down at Rin. At first he didn't say anything, just shifted his gaze between the other three, seeing if all of them agreed with what Rin had just spewed in not such a friendly matter. Haru avoided his eyes completely, his whole stance showing off hostility. Sousuke did glance up out of the corner of his eyes, but his lip was a thin line across his face, and his eyebrows were scrunched up between his eyes. They were not happy.

"Kisumi is a friend," Makoto stated, the Alpha vibration now back in his voice. "Has been our friend since we were little. We all know him individually and have befriended him that way too. Our childhood friend is coming over for dinner on Friday."

With wide eyes Rin stared up at Makoto, wondering if their Alpha had really lost his mind this time. "Are you freaking kidding me?" he exclaimed, finding this the best way to reason with Makoto. "You can't be serious right now. This is the dumbest…"And then Sousuke grabbed his wrist, shutting him up right away, because finishing that sentence may not be the smartest move. The air around them had shifted into something darker, thicker, anger sparking all around them.

"What Rin is trying to say," Sousuke tried to fix. "Is that bringing Kisumi into our home crosses some kind of line. I have to admit I don't feel it as strongly as Rin and Haru do, but the fact that I noticed tells me it's really bad for them. And I don't think it's a good idea if he does come here. He called you for a reason. He could've called any of us, but he chose you. I do believe he has an ulterior motive." It was told clean and with care, really getting the point across, and it did silence Makoto for a while.

With arms crossed Makoto had put up a barrier. He was currently alone in his opinion, no one backing him up, or even understanding him. Moving from one leg to the other he tried to get rid of the tension in his body, anger slithering through his entire body.

"I don't want him to come over, Makoto," Haru pitched in as well, really showing off on what side he was. He even lifted up his azure eyes and looked him straight in the eyes, letting his message get across.

Makoto still stayed silent, stepping backwards and then moving to the window, staring out at the dark sky outside. Though Rin was certain he was mostly staring at his own reflection, the light of the living room turning the window in a mirror. The muscles in Makoto's shoulders moved, his hands clenching and unclenching in his sides where he kept them. And then finally Makoto spoke again, giving them his answer to their explanation.

"Kisumi is coming over for dinner on Friday," he started, and Rin was about to throw a few more colourful words towards their Alpha, letting him know how stupid he was being. "I am not going to cancel on him now and none of you are going to call him up either." A demand, but Rin noticed the Alpha tone was not present. Nothing subtle actually pressuring them into listening to him. Instead something else was laced into his voice. Makoto clacked with his tongue, irritation visible. "Because if I as the Alpha didn't notice any of this. Didn't notice Kisumi wants me to… fuck him as Rin put it. It means it's not affecting me. It means I am not interested in him in any way, and have no intention of bringing him into our relationship." The weight of Makoto's words was slowly seeping into Rin's veins, his anger ebbing away, making place for something else. "Never have I betrayed you, looked at any other person the wrong way. Never have we spoken of bringing someone else into this. Because it's not necessary. Because we don't want anyone else. Because all I have ever wanted, were the three of you.

"I think I deserve more trust than any of you are giving me right now."

Disappointment. That was the what Makoto was feeling, was trying to convey in his words, in his tone. Makoto was disappointed, with every right to. Guilt, shame, embarrassment were quickly creeping down Rin's throat, blocking any word from coming out.

"I'm going to bed," Makoto then announced, moving away from the window, walking towards the little hallway that led to their bedroom. "Lock up before you go too." And then he disappeared.

This was not going to be the end of this though. They were going to be noticing this conversation, this fight, for the rest of the week. Right up until Kisumi actually came over for dinner. Their childhood friend. The one that wanted to be Makoto's Omega for as long as Rin could remember. And never had Makoto once shown interest back.

None of them had actually apologised to Makoto before he had left.

Dramaaa... I hope it wasn't too odd... I did leave some things unanswered, but they will be answered in the next coming chapters. Also, I do really love Kisumi, so don't see this as some misplaced hate ;) He's a cutiepie, but he fitted the role the best :)
