"Everything is ready Haru-chan" Nagisa said once Rei and Makoto were out of earshot

Haru nodded "Good"

"But how are you going to get him to go with you?" Nagisa asked as they danced (Or at least attempted to)

Haru hadn't really thought about that part "I'll think of something"

"Hey! You have the same bracelet as Mako-chan" Nagisa said lifting Haru's wrist up

Haru's cheeks flushed "I made them" he muttered

Nagisa smiled broadly "I hope this works out; I want Mako-chan to be happy"

Haru just nodded in reply, he wanted to make Makoto happy, he wanted to see Makoto's smile, not his fake smile he kept showing everyone, his real smile. Haru had made a vow to himself after Makoto came back into his life, that he would never leave him and he would always make him happy. The Songs changed and Nagisa bounded off to join Rei and Makoto, Haru took a deep breath, he hoped taking their relationship further was the right choice. Well there was no turning back now.

"Oi!"

Haru jumped and turned to face Rin "What?"

Rin was hanging off Sousuke in some attempt at dancing "The dance floor is for dancing, not brooding over life choices"

"Shut up Rin" Haru muttered walking off the dance floor, he checked the time on his phone, 11:35, they would have to leave soon

"Haru-chan!" Nagisa yelled grabbing him and trying seat him in a chair next to Makoto "You can sit here"

Haru was about to protest when Makoto stood up "um….Actually, Haru can I talk to for a moment" he cast a sideways glance at Nagisa "Alone please"

Nagisa nudged Rei and smiled "We will disappear, come one Rei-chan lets go"

Makoto looked at Haru "Uh, is it ok if we find somewhere quieter"

Haru nodded and headed out of the crowded function room, he didn't have to come up with an idea to get Makoto away after all. He glances sideways at Makoto "I know a quiet place"

Makoto silently followed him, the music became softer and softer "H-haru where are we going?"

"You'll see" he said simply, his phone vibrated in his pocket

To: Haru
From: Nagisa

We are in place and ready Haru-chan, we will wait for your cue

Haru shoved his phone back in his pocket and led Makoto through glass double doors. Makoto had never seen this part of the lodge, As they entered the darkened room, Makoto noticed some plants around and sound of running water. There was a couple small lights lighting the path between the gardens.

"I found this the other day" Haru said softly as they stopped in front of the small water feature, the water softly trickled down some rocks into a pond at the bottom.

"How do they keep all this alive in such a cold place" Makoto said in awe

Haru shrugged "Extra heating I guess"

Makoto smiled softly "Well its really nice" he looked down into the pond "are they gold fsh?"

Haru nodded and watched as Makoto lent over the pond watching the fish "Makoto" he said

Makoto stood up looking at Haru in the dim light "Right, I wanted to talk to you abou-"

"Wait Makoto there's something I want to say first" Haru fidgeting trying to think of the right words "I know in the past I haven't been the best of friends, I am really sorry" Makoto opened his mouth to say something but Haru raised his hand to silence him "I know I probably have no right wanting to become a permanent part of your life, but, I-I want you to know I don't plan on going anywhere" he paused grabbing Makoto's hands "Ever"

Makoto smiled "This may be selfish but I want you in my life to, and I will do everything I can to make you stay and never leave"

Haru removed one of hands placing it behind his back to signal Nagisa before placing it back in Makoto's hand "Makoto, I-I I don't want to be just friends"

Makoto froze trying to make out Haru's features in the dark, was this going where he thought it was? "Haru Wh-" He was cut off by the sudden brightness of some fairy lights hanging over the water feature.

"I can never take back my past actions, but I want my future to be with you" Haru shuffled closer to Makoto who was still staring at the fairy lights, in the distance they could hear the count down to midnight.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

As the clock struck midnight they softly shared their first kiss, beneath the fairy lights, their hearts merged as one. Haru had never felt a kiss like this before, so soft, so full of love, So comfortable like their lips were only meant for each other. They slowly broke the kiss and Haru stared up into Makoto eyes. "Happy New Year" He whispered

Makoto smiled, a real smile from the bottom of his heart, for the first time in ten years, he genuinely smiled "Happy New Year Haru" he looked back up at the lights holding Haru close him.

I Love You More Then Water, it said

"Hey Haru why did you pick that" He asked nodding up to the lights

Haru looked up at them "I thought it would show just how much you mean to me"

Makoto chuckled "Well I'm glad I'm more important than water"

In the corner of the room Nagisa high-fived Rei before wrapping himself around him and plastering a kiss on him "Happy New Year Rei-chan"

"Happy New Year Nagisa"

Peeking through the door way Rin smiled as he saw Makoto and Haru embrace. "You ok" Sousuke whispered in his ear.

Rin smiled up at him baring his shark teeth and wrapping his arms around Sousukes neck "More than fine" He leaned up kissing Sousuke softly "Happy New Year Sousuke"

"Happy New Year Rin" Sousuke muttered around Rin's lips

Kisumi grabbed hold of Asahi pulling him close on the dance floor and planting a kiss on his lips "Happy New Year Asahi"

Asahi face flushed a brilliant shade of red "H-Happy New Year"

Kisumi laughed "Seriously thank you for all you have done for me"

Asahi raised an eyebrow at him "All I did was get you this job"

"Trust me you did more than just get me a job" Kisumi smiled wrapping his arms around him "Thank you" he whispered again in his ear.

Makoto stifled a yawn as him and Haru made their way out of the greenhouse room.

"Tired?" Haru asked

Makoto smiled sleepily "A little bit"

Haru grabbed his hand and lead him to the stairs up to rooms "Let's go to bed then"

Makoto pulled against him "W-what about everyone else?"

Haru shrugged "We will see them tomorrow"

Makoto couldn't really argue with that, plus he was sure they were all busy making out or something. He blushed as the image of Haru kissing him popped back into his head, he absently raised his free hand to his lips. Haru's lips had been as soft as he had thought they would be, he couldn't believe it happened though, he had fantasised about something like that since they were in middle school, but had never dared dream it would ever happen.

The reached their room and softly shut the door behind them, kissing as they did so. Haru took his shirt of then helped Makoto out of his, running his hands softly over his abs, sending shivers up Makoto's spine. Haru led Makoto to the bed softly pushing him down, before straddling him.

"H-haru" Makoto said shakily "I-"

Haru put a finger to his lips "It's ok I won't do anything you don't want me to"

Makoto relaxed a little "I-its not that I don't want it, I'm just a little nervous" he looked up into Haru's blue eyes "And a little scared" he added so softly Haru almost didn't hear it.

He slowly climbed off him, off course he would be a bit hesitant after everything that had happened, he laid down beside Makoto, staring up at the ceiling. He was just too eager to enjoy all his time with Makoto.

Makoto moved to his side "Haru" he said softly, Haru grunted in reply "I-I'm sorry"

"You have nothing to apologise Makoto" Haru said facing him "I don't want to push you, so we will do things when and only when you are ready to"

Makoto smiled and grabbed Haru's hand "I will try to be ok soon for you, I can't believe this is all happening though"

Haru cocked his head to the side "Why is hard to believe?"

"Haru you probably didn't realise but I've been in love with you since middle school" Haru stared at him, he continued "So when you left it didn't just hurt me as your friend it literally broke my heart, I never thou thought you would come back"

Haru frowned "I'm sorry Makoto, I didn't know"

Makoto smiled "it's fine now though"

Makoto wrapped his arms around Haru, holding him close to scared that if he let him got he'd disappear and this would all end up being a dream. Haru listened to Makoto's heartbeat as he slowly drifted off to sleep. They both had one thought going through their minds as the fell asleep embracing each other. This was the best New Years in a long time.
