"Nagisa."
"Rei."
"We have something to tell you."
Haru's voice echoed through the dead-silent room. He squeezed Makoto's hand tighter in fear.
"M-Makoto...Makoto...and I...are..." he stuttered, trying to stay cool. "Makoto and I are together now!"
He gasped in embarrassment, thoroughly regretting what he had just announced.
As Haru curled into himself, Makoto instead chuckled in glee and wrapped his arms around the freestyle swimmer, feeling a wave of happiness. He was so proud that Haru had the courage to admit it. With the tension in the room shattered instead of worsened, Nagisa broke into a grin.
"That's so great, you guys! I'm so happy for you!" He exclaimed, resisting the urge to hug both of them so things wouldn't get more awkward. "Aren't you, too, Rei?" The butterfly's eyes were sparkling, but he struggled for words.
"You two are...beautiful together." He said with awe. Yet, still not as beautiful as Nagisa...
Makoto let go of Haru and smiled widely at his fellow teammates. "You guys..." he started. "Thank you!" Haru, however, refused to look up.
"U-uh..." Nagisa said. "Guess that means we better leave you two alone, huh?" He snickered and gave a sly little wink to Rei, getting a blush in return.
"Nagisa!" Makoto outburst, face turning red. "N-no, of course not!"
"Nah, we'll get going now! Sorry to bother you!" Nagisa replied. "C'mon, Rei!" He grabbed the taller boy's ear and started walking towards the direction of the door. Rei struggled, but it was in vain.
"W-wait! Please, stay! We can all have breakfast together!" Makoto protested. "Uh...I'll...start cooking right now!" He clumsily grabbed a pan and put it on the stove, flailing and unsure what to do next. Haru stepped in and grabbed a container of cooking oil, giving Makoto an apathetic look.
"Haruka-senpai! Makoto-senpai!" Rei cried out as Nagisa continued to drag him. "We give you our blessing! Best of luck to you both! See you on...ow, Nagisa! Monday! Farewell!" The sound of the door shutting resonated through the house.
"Well, that was certainly interesting, huh?" Makoto chuckled.
Silence hung over the room for a few moments.
"Makoto." Haru said, softly.
"Yeah, Haru?" Makoto gazed at his new partner warmly. He didn't receive a reply, but instead, Haru burrowed his face into Makoto's chest. Without another word, the taller boy wrapped his arms around the dolphin.
...
"Nagisa! You imbecile! What was that all about? We hardly even got our bags before you dragged me out the door!" Rei questioned, quite perturbed.
"Uh...s-sorry, I guess I just felt like I was making everything all awkward..." Nagisa admitted, extremely embarrassed. Rei noted how red his face was, and found it be somehow beautiful in a way.
"Well, you didn't have to take me along, did you?" Rei pointed out.
"What? Of course I did! Then it would be even more awkward for you!" Nagisa protested.
"Look, Nagisa. Before anything else, we are all teammates, and Makoto and Haruka know that." Rei said. "They would never alienate us, right?" Though sometimes I feel I'm not part of the team...
"I don't know, Rei. There was some kind of...glow going on between them." Nagisa countered. "Kinda like a...honeymoon!" Rei jumped in surprise, holding for dear life onto his glasses. Honeymoon means...!
"Well, that's their personal business, isn't it?" Rei said defiantly, looking away sheepishly.
"Oh? You're so flustered, Rei!" Nagisa got up on his tiptoes and snickered right in Rei's face. The butterfly fell back in shock, landing on his butt. "Whoa! Are you okay?" The blonde got on his knees and smiled cheekily at the boy below him.
"Stop it, Nagisa!" Rei protested haughtily, making a motion to get up. Instead, Nagisa grabbed both of his hands and pulled him to his feet.
"Oh, Rei!" Nagisa touted. "Where would you be without me?" Rei's face went into an even deeper flush. What is with this saucy behavior? I don't even know how to react...
And yet, Nagisa...you ask a good question...and the answer is...
I don't know where I'd be without you.
