As Haru left, both Makoto and I are left alone in the room.

"..."

"Naoto-chan?"

"Y, yes?" I answered.

"Why are you so surprised? Ehehe.. Haru is right you're a little weird today" Makoto said to me. I blushed and looked down. ".. N, not really.."

"Ah right. Mom texted me that she won't be home until 8. So would you like to make a dinner with me?" He invited me.

"Of course! I don't mind at all!" I raised my voice. He giggled and said, "ok then. Let's do it now shall we?" He said and lend his hand to me.

I took his hand and he helped me get up. But then I feel something sliped out from my pocket. "Ah!"

"Hm?" Makoto looked down.

That's Makoto and Haru photo! Aaaaa! This is the end for me!

".. A! Ano! Makoto-san! That's not like that.. Umm.."

"He?" Makoto took the photo and then looked at it. He suddenly froze in the spot and said, ".. Um.. Where did you get this.. Naoto?" He's eyes seems dark.

".. A.. Um.. See.. I was looking at your photo album with.. Ran-chan and Ren-kun.. And.. Found that picture" I explained nervously. I would like to lie! But Makoto seems different. It's like he changed into a carnivore.. No, it's actually a killer whale..

".. Haa.." He sighed.

"Um.. Are you angry, Makoto-san?" I asked him with a guilty tone.

He shooked his head, "it's fine. But I wish you wouldn't found this.." He stop to looked at the photo and then he slipped it in his pocket and continued, ".. This is the photo that I hide from everyone! Even Haru! This is actually an accident. So I hope Naoto-chan won't think of anything weird."

I hope I can Makoto-san!

".. Ah, un, of course I'm not.." I answered.

"Then that's fine" he smiled. Ah, he's back. I'm glad he didn't eat me..

"Now! Shall we make some dinner?!" He winked.

"! Un!" I answered.


We had dinner together. Ran and Ren seems to be very happy. "Nee-chan! Let's play together!" Ran said.

"Sure! But nee-chan need to take a bath first alright" I smiled.

"Alright" the answered. "We'll wait in our room ok!" Ren waved his hand to me and then the twins went to their room.

"I'll help Makoto with the dishes. You can take a bath" Haru suddenly said. Haru can read my mind? Is he an esper? No way, Nee-chan is the only one that can do that..

"Ok. Thanks for the meal" I said and went to the bathroom to take a nice bath.

After I finished. I went to check the twins. ".. Ran-chan, Ren-kun.." I opened the door slowly. The room isn't noisy, so I think I'll check it out. ".. Ah, they're asleep already" I said to myself.

They fell asleep in their own beds. They seems tired. Their homework must be really difficult, because Ren is still holding his book while Ran is holding a pencil. ".. They must be tired" I smiled and then cover them with their own blanket.

I left the room again and go to Makoto's room. Only Haru is in the room, ".. Hm? What happened? You're not playing with them?" Haru asked me as I come in.

"Ah, Ran and Ren is asleep already" I answered.

"Eh?"

"What is it?" I asked Haru.

"... So where are you going to sleep tonight?" Haru asked me. "... A"

The door room is opened, Makoto come in. "Are? Naoto-chan you're not playing with Ran and Ren?" He asked me.

".. Umm.. Ran and Ren is asleep" I answered.

"Eh?"

".. Makoto, I think I won't be staying tonight" Haru said as he get up from the floor.

"Eeh? Why?" Makoto asked.

"Naoto can't sleep in Ran and Ren room" Haru replied.

"Eh! Wait, Haru-kun! It's fine. Haru-kun can stay here. I'll head home alone! You both still have some unfinished homework right?" I said to Haru.

".. How did you-"

"A lucky guess" I answered him before he can finished.

".. But.." Haru said.

"I'm fine. I'm fine" I smiled.

"Etoo.. I have an idea" Makoto raised his hand and said. "Eh?" Both Haru and I looked at him.

"Naoto-chan can sleep with us. Haru and I can sleep in the floor with the extra bed. While Naoto-chan can sleep on my bed" he explained to us.

"No! She can't sleep with boys" Haru denied it.

I'm actually fine with it as long as Haru is fine. But he denied it just now. ".. It's alright. I won't do anything to her. Haru is here too so you can be her knight for tonight" Makoto said again.

"..." Haru stop talking and then sighed. ".. Fine."

"Really?!" My eyes suddenly widen and asked Haru about it. "Sure" he answered.

"Well, I'll get the extra bed for me and Haru, ok" Makoto said and left the room.

".. Makoto.." Haru muttered. "Haru-kun?"

"Nothing" he answered me.


Now it's almost 11 p.m. I'm getting sleepy but Haru and Makoto is still playing games. ".. Haru-kun.." I pulled his clothes.

"What is it?" He asked me. "I'll head to bed first alright?" I said to him. He smiled and paused the game. "Ok, good night" he ruffled my hair.

"Good night, Naoto-chan" Makoto said too.

"Good night. Don't stay up too late Haru-kun, Makoto-san.." I said and slowly laid my body in the bed and it with the blanket.

The blanket, has Makoto's scent..

And slowly I fall asleep.


"... Hnn.." I suddenly opened my eyes. I wake up and looked around. It's dark, only a small light in the desk lit the room. ".. It's still 2 a.m." I muttered.

I tried to roll around in the bed but I suddenly fell down! ".. Kh!"

".. Naoto-chan.. You're ok?" Someone asked me. I tried to open my eyes, ".. Eh?"

I suddenly realize, I'm in Makoto's room. "... Ha.. A.." I can't said a word. Makoto's face is so close. It's dark but I'm afraid my reddish color cheeks can be seen.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"..." I nodded my head.

".. You sure?" He asked again. I nodded my head again. "A.. Ano.. I'm sorry.." I said slowly.

He giggled and said, "it's fine. Just don't fall again like that. Good thing I'm down here."

"Eh?"

"... Aaaa.. Aaa.. I! I!" I suddenly panicked! Realizing our position like this is! Aaa! I want to bury myself now!

".. Shh.." He patted my head. "Don't screamed. Haru will wake up if you do" he whispered to my ears.

I can feel my face heat up! ".. U, un" I said.

"Now go back to sleep" he whispered again.

I tried to get up slowly without any noises and then went up to the bed again. ".. G, good night, Makoto-san.." I said and cover my body with the blanket.

"Good night, Naoto" he whispered.

Doki-

He called me without '-chan'

Because I can't handle how exhausted my heart is right now. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

Makoto-san.. Can I think that you have a special feeling for me?
