Thank you Zaabeth you're my little star!
...
The sun shone brightly through the bedroom window, illuminating the entire room. Ordinarily this would have woken Haruka up but today that had been achieved by small kisses to his cheek, eyelids and foreheads, by far the best way he'd ever been woken up.
Once awake, the kisses became heavy and passionate until Haruka found himself straddling Makoto, cursing the barrier of boxers between them.
"I made breakfast." Makoto said breathlessly, pulling away from the other boy's lips.
"In a minute." Haruka mumbled, rolling his hips against the other to show that he wasn't the only thing Makoto had managed to rouse this morning.
"Haru, we don't have time for that." He moaned, his head falling back onto the pillow.
"We have plenty of time, it's still early." He replied, finishing his sentence with a kiss to Makoto's exposed neck.
"What about school?" Makoto asked, a slight laugh in his tone.
"It's not going anywhere." Haruka said defiantly, returning to the task at hand.
He kissed down Makoto's neck, savouring the way his Adam's apple quivered underneath his lips. He moved to the side slightly until his lips found the junction where neck met shoulder, his mouth suckling at the tender skin at the spot.
"Haru." Makoto groaned, gently pushing him off his skin. "No marks, you know that."
At the scolding, Haruka pouted and rolled off the other boy, arms folding as he glared daggers into the wall. He didn't want to hide their relationship, he wanted to brand Makoto, claim him to show the world he belonged to only him. He wanted to watch the blush on Makoto's cheeks as he tried to hide the marks and avoid questions, knowing that the shy boy was a demon behind closed doors.
"Maybe I should, just so you can't keep hiding this." Haruka huffed before climbing out the bed.
"Haru, I don't like this situation any more than you do." Makoto told him, following after him.
"Really?" He asked, spinning around to face the boy behind him. "Because it seems to me you're the only one who can do anything about this situation and yet you don't seem to be!"
Haruka slammed his mouth shut after his little outburst, he didn't enjoy snapping at Makoto but he was getting tired of being second best, being someone to go to for a quick bit of fun but never worthy of being considered serious.
"Haru, I…" Makoto started but soon Haruka cut him off.
"Let's go eat breakfast." He muttered, stalking out his room, not wanting to hear the same line Makoto had been spouting for days on end now.
He couldn't hear the word 'soon' again or he was bound to kill someone, and a small part of him was sure it would be a certain red head. So instead, he avoided the subject and prayed that Makoto could just understand what he needed without words.
In silence, the pair sat down at the table, Haruka digging into the food Makoto had prepared.
"Haru, please talk to me." Makoto pleaded, never touching his own breakfast.
"What do you expect me to say?" He asked between mouthfuls.
"Anything, everything. Tell me what's bothering you." He said, reaching across the table to take a hold of his hand.
"It's nothing." He shrugged.
"Tell me." Makoto instructed him, squeezing his hand.
"I just feel like you're choosing her. I'm waiting for the moment you turn around and tell me to forget everything and then go back to her." He admitted, staring at his food as if it were the most interesting meal on the planet.
"I would never do that." He reassured him.
"You did the first time." Haruka said, regretting the words as he'd said them, not wanting to bring that up again.
"That's different, I was confused and I didn't know what I wanted but I do now. I want you." Makoto smiled, his warm confession making Haruka blush slightly.
"It doesn't seem like it." He mumbled.
"I will tell her…"
"Yeah, I know soon." Haruka cut him off. "But I still feel like I'm just being carried along, and I hate myself for thinking that of you but I do."
"I'm sorry for making you feel that way." Makoto said, crawling around the table until he was on the same side of the table as Haruka before bundling him up in his arms. "I will tell her today, I mean it this time, after swim practice. I will say I need to talk to her and I will tell her everything, about us, and end things with her. For you Haru, I'd do anything. I love you."
"I love you too." He whispered, gripping tightly at the fabric of his shirt as he held him tightly.
The pair would be late for school but at this moment they couldn't bring themselves to care, far to content in each other's arms.
…
For once in his life Haruka couldn't wait until swim practice was over and Makoto could finally talk to Gou. It was a Friday, which meant Rei and Nagisa would be in a rush to leave for god only knows what reason, resulting in no interruptions. Haruka had already decided he'd get out the pool tonight without any arguments. He would wait outside the school gates while the couple talked until Makoto would finally join him, a free man for the taking.
He was so focused on his excitement that he barely registered the enthusiastic chatter around him or Makoto walking past and delivering a sharp pinch to his butt cheek, earning a yelp from him.
Rei and Nagisa turned towards him with looks of confusion, clearly both missing the act but catching the noise.
"Are you okay Haru-senpai?" Rei asked, tilting his head to the side in concern.
"I'm fine." He muttered in response, leaning forward so his hair covered his blushing cheeks.
"Are you sure?" He continued, only getting a nod out of the other boy.
"But Haru-chan, you haven't even changed yet." Nagisa said, causing Haruka to do a quick scan of the room to realise that everyone else was already in their swimwear.
"Haru is obviously distracted." Makoto spoke up for him.
"That means we can be the first in the pool for once!" Nagisa cried out, bouncing on his feet in excitement. "Come on Rei-chan!"
"Nagisa! Don't!" Rei protested but the bubbly blonde either didn't hear or simply ignored him in favour of dragging the other boy into the pool with him.
Makoto watched them go with a shake of his head before heading in the same direction as the pair. He paused briefly next to Haruka and leaned in to place a quick, tender kiss on his cheek.
"See you out there Haru." He whispered, heading outside.
Haruka felt his cheeks burning again after Makoto's unexpected attack. He supposed once they were together he'd get used to the affection and stop reacting so strongly. Least he hoped so, or he imagined he'd be teased mercilessly for it.
…
Once Haruka stepped out into the sun he heard the familiar squealing of Gou filling the air. A rather large part of him hoped she'd quit when Makoto dumped her so he wouldn't have to see her on a daily basis anymore. He glanced over to the sound to see Makoto holding her tightly around the waist while Nagisa held onto her legs, he couldn't help but glare as the scene unfolded.
"I swear to god I will kill you both if you drop me in." She cried as the boys stepped nearer the edge of the pool.
"It's worth it Gou-chan." Nagisa giggled, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Makoto, if you love me at all you'll save me!" She pleaded, but judging by Makoto's smirk she was going in.
"I love you even more when you're wet." He joked, Haruka clenching his hands tightly at the blatant flirting occurring.
"Mako-chan!" Nagisa screeched. "Save it for the bedroom."
"Rei! Help me!" Gou cried in a final attempt at rescue but the blue haired boy just watched helplessly from the pool as she was thrown through the air and into the cold water, Nagisa and Makoto jumping in after her.
With a big gasp Gou emerged from the water, her hair sticking to her face as the cool liquid dripped down her cheeks.
"I'm going to kill you!" She cried, lunging through the water towards Makoto.
With small fists she punched Makoto in the chest, his strong muscles barely reacting to the repetitive hits.
"Okay, I'm sorry." He laughed, trying to catch her hands.
Grabbing a fist securely in each hand he spun her around, trapping her with her back pressed to his chest.
"Let me go! My uniform is going to stink of chlorine." She complained, wriggling around in her boyfriend's hold.
"Relax Gou-chan, it's Friday you have all weekend to wash it." Nagisa shrugged, splashing her in the face.
He laughed as he watched Gou squirm in Makoto's arms, anger burning in her eyes as she tried to break free.
"I'm not going to let you go when you're this angry." Makoto informed her, using the voice he usually reserved for Ren and Ran.
"Fine, I'm calm." Gou sighed. "Just let me go so I can get out the pool."
"As you wish my love." Makoto said, Haruka's heart breaking at the pet name.
Once she was released Gou jumped at Nagisa, pushing the unsuspecting boy under the water as her own personal revenge.
"Gou!" Makoto scolded, a small smile on his lips anyway.
"Sorry, I'm done now." She apologised.
She waded through the water as fast as the restriction would allow before reaching the steps, pulling herself out with a great sigh. She pouted as the water dripped from her body in a little puddle at her feet, she wrung her hair out and looked towards Haruka, the first time he'd been acknowledged since he'd stepped outside.
"Ah, Haru. Can I borrow your towel?" She asked, stretching her arm out towards the boy.
At the sound of the other boy's name Makoto spun around in the pool, his eyes wide with guilt as he took in his appearance. He was shaking slightly with anger, his hand tightly gripping his towel with such force his knuckles were white, his eyes burnt with betrayal.
Haruka's gaze quickly flickered between Gou and Makoto before he whipped the towel into a heap at Gou's feet.
"Thanks." She muttered, bending down to grab the towel, standing up again only to see Haruka's retreating form. "Come back! We've got practice."
"Haru! Wait!" Makoto shouted, quickly exiting the pool and running after his best friend.
The three junior students stared at the empty space in confusion, wondering what they'd missed to cause such a reaction from the pair.
"Just because two of our members are missing doesn't mean you can slack off." Gou announced, turning back towards the boys in the pool.
"But Gou-chan can't we…" Nagisa started but was soon cut off by Gou's shouting.
"Swim! Now!"
"Okay!" Rei and Nagisa exclaimed, jumping at the raised voice.
…
Haruka blindly grabbed at his clothes, cursing the unshed tears that blurred his vision slightly but he fought through it. He knew everyone would wonder why he'd disappeared at the beginning of practice but at this point he didn't care, he just needed to get away, he needed to breathe, he needed to clear his head.
"Haru?" Makoto asked quietly, standing in the doorway to the changing room.
"Not now Makoto!" He snapped, hands fumbling uselessly at his belongings.
"We need to talk." Makoto said, crossing the short distance between them.
"No we don't." Haruka groaned as he dropped all his clothes in a heap at his feet.
"Please." He pleaded softly, reaching out and placing a hand on Haruka's shoulder.
"Okay, you want to talk? Let's talk!" He shouted, spinning around and roughly pushing Makoto's hand off him. "You were never going to tell her, were you? I mean, why would you? You've got us both exactly where you want us and you know that I'm just stupid enough to sit here and wait for you. But not anymore. Unless you go tell her now this is over!"
"I can't with Rei and Nagisa here." He said calmly.
"Isn't that convenient?" Haruka sneered, turning his back towards the other boy.
"Haru…"
"I'm done, I can't deal with this pain anymore." He whispered, his voice cracking slightly. "I thought it was bad before but it's nothing compared to this. Least then I knew where I stood, I knew it was hopeless. Then you give me just a little glimmer of hope and I get carried away, think I'm finally going to get you. But that was stupid, why should you stay with me when nobody else ever does."
Makoto felt his throat turn dry at the words. There it was, Haruka's biggest insecurity, one he always promised himself that he would never be the cause of. He wanted to make sure Haruka always knew how much he valued him, how much he cared about him, provide him with the reassurance that he'd never leave his side no matter what happened.
"I need to be alone." Haruka whispered, his hands tightly gripping the wooden lockers as if they were the only things supporting his body.
With a glance towards the door Makoto heard the sounds of Gou's encouraging shouts and the sounds of water parting to make way for the swimmers. He decided they wouldn't be disturbed for a while. He walked around Haruka, ducking down and under his arms until he was trapped between the boy and the lockers.
"What are you doing?" Haruka asked, eyes tightly shut.
"I need you to listen to me, okay?" He asked, reaching up and stroking his face, Haruka's eyes flying open from the contact.
"Fine." He nods, Makoto almost breathless when he sees the pain in his lover's eyes.
"I'm never going to leave you, okay? I just couldn't do it. You can try to get rid of me but I'm not going anywhere, I need you too much." He leaned in and kissed Haruka, trying to hide his disappointment when the other's lips didn't respond.
"What about Gou?" Haruka asked in a small voice.
"What about her? She's nothing compared to you." He reassured him.
"It didn't seem like it out there." He mumbled, eyes flaring up with jealousy once again.
"That was Nagisa's idea, we were just messing around. I care about her, Haru. She's a very important person to me, but not like you. You're the one I love."
Haruka felt relief spread through his veins at the words, he knew Makoto loves him, he trusts the boy with his whole life, his complete heart. He knows he would never hurt him and he felt slightly ashamed for ever thinking otherwise.
"I'm sorry about what I said, I didn't mean…" Haruka started to apologise but swiftly got cut off by Makoto.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, if anything I should be apologising to you. I'm sorry for everything I've put you through, I'm sorry I didn't realise early how upset it was making you but I promise it will be over so soon." He kissed him again, breathing a sigh of relief when it was reciprocated. "I love you."
"Why?" Haruka asked with a shy smile.
"I love your little smile that you always try to hide. I love that you're so reckless and passionate." Makoto kissed any patch of skin he could find after each one of his reasons. "I love that you're amazing at everything you do. I love that you go after what you want. I love that you got me to finally see how important you are to me. I love when you get all jealous over me. I love that this time tomorrow it will just be the two of us, nobody else."
"Ah." Haruka gasped as he felt Makoto kiss the sensitive area at the base of his neck. He quickly brought his hand up to his mouth as Makoto continued his affections.
"I love it when you squirm and try to hide your moans." He smirked against his skin, relishing in the small sounds that escaped Haruka's lips as he breathed against his neck.
Makoto nipped at his skin, sucking hard until a red bruise appeared on the other boy's neck.
"I thought we weren't allowed to leave marks." He moaned loudly.
"I'm through with hiding this." Makoto stated, moving to the other side of his neck to leave an identical brand.
Satisfied with his work, Makoto pulled his lips away and trailed them down Haruka's chest, taking his nipple inside his mouth and sucking harshly, his hand palming Haruka's growing erection through his swimsuit.
"Makoto, we shouldn't." He gasped, casting a nervous glance towards the door before he cried out as the other boy firmly took hold of his cock.
"I can't help it." He whispered, rolling his nipple between his teeth. "When I'm around you I lose control."
Makoto pulled away from his chest to drop gracefully to his knees, smirking up Haruka. His breathing had become erratic and his heartbeat strong with anticipation with what was about to come.
Reaching up he gently rolled the swimsuit until it rested around Haruka's ankles, allowing his cock freedom and to lightly graze Makoto's cheek as it stood to attention.
"I can always stop Haru." He purred, running his tongue down from the tip to the balls.
"No, not now." He said breathlessly.
"Good, because I don't want to." He whispered, leaning forward to place a kiss on the head.
Haruka moaned loudly as Makoto's tongue slipped between his lips to gently brush the slit that was now leaking with pre-cum.
"So eager Haru-chan, and we've barely even started." Makoto teased, Haruka in too much pleasure to reprimand him for an inappropriate use of his childhood nickname.
Dropping his jaw, Makoto let the head of Haruka's cock slide between his lips, sucking as he took the impressive length inside.
...
Gou glanced towards the doors of the locker room, waiting for her smiling boyfriend and his reluctant best friend to immerge but the pair never seemed to arrive.
"What are they doing in there?" She asked, not expecting a response but she received one anyway.
"Maybe they're having a heart to heart." Nagisa suggested, bringing Gou's attention back to the pool where the pair stood. Well Rei stood, Nagisa was latched onto the other boy, legs around his waist and arms around his neck.
"For this long?" She questioned sceptically. It had to have been at least ten minutes since they'd both run off.
"Haru-senpai did seem quite upset." Rei said, his voice strained slightly from the added weight.
"Maybe I should go check on them." She bit her lip slightly, turning back towards the door.
"Just let them have their moment Gou-chan." Nagisa giggled.
"They can have a moment once practice is finished." She said definitively, walking towards the door.
"Gou, I don't recommend that." Rei called out to her. "The fact that they have remained inside indicates they wish to be left alone. They could be quite upset if you disturb."
"You worry too much Rei." She dismissed his concerns with a wave of her hand. "It will be fine." With a self-assured nod Gou walked towards the changing rooms.
Once inside she wished she'd listening to Rei's warning. She found herself frozen in her spot, unable to look away from the sight in front of her.
Haruka standing completely naked, swimsuit in a pool around his ankles, body lent forward slightly so his hands can rest against the wooden lockers. But that's not what shocks her, that's not what rips her heart right out of her chest. What really breaks her is in front of Haruka, trapped between the boy and the lockers.
Her eyes widen in pain as she watches her boyfriend kneeling before the other, as she watches her boyfriend's head gently bobbing up and down, cheeks hallowed out as he sucks, as watches her boyfriend's eyes scrunch slightly, a low hum of appreciation escaping his mouth quickly followed by a moan from the other.
"Makoto… I'm going to cum." Haruka moaned out, such confidence and assurance in his voice that she can immediately tell this is not a one-time occurrence.
"Then cum for me." Makoto said, his tone thick with lust in a way she'd never heard before.
He increased the pace in which he moved, eyes locked with Haruka as the obscene slurping noise coming from his mouth echoed around the room. Each one like a dagger in Gou's heart.
"Ah… Yes!" Haruka cried, his hips bucking as his climax hits him.
Gou eyes tear up as she watches the scene, her boyfriend's mouth, that she'd lovingly kissed, soiled by his supposed best friend. Her body shook with agony as he watched him swallow the release, his smile loving and warm, one that he only ever had around Haruka.
"Makoto?" Her broken voice finally called out, both the boys turning to the sound, neither aware of the audience they'd received until that moment.
Their eyes were wide with a mixture of guilt and shock, neither one able to comprehend what had happened, neither one able to form any words to explain the situation. Instead all they could do is stare at the heartbroken girl from across the room.
…
It happened, Gou found out :o such scandal!
And it might be a little late depending where you are but Happy Easter!
