Makoto was awoken by the shrill sound of his phone ringing. Half asleep he mumbled some choice words and attempted to answer the phone properly.
"Hello" He muttered, there was no answer and for some reason the phone was still ringing. Looking again he realised it was just his alarm he set for work.
"God I'm an idiot sometimes, well better get ready for another day or work"
Makoto sat up in bed and sighed, after yesterday he really didn't feel like going to work. All he wanted to do was stay in bed and sleep all day. With a sigh he forced himself of the bed accidently stepping on Ruka earning him a hiss. Picking Ruka up he apologised and promised he would give him some milk to make it up to him.
Making his way to the station Makoto looked at his phone, not sure what he was expecting. He guessed some part of him was hoping to hear from Haru. Stupid, he thought, he didn't even know if Haru had the same number still. He put his phone away and walked into the station.
"Ah, Tachibana good timing"
"Good Morning Iwasaki-san" Makoto greeted his Chief.
"Tachibana could you show the new recruit the ropes? I have a meeting to get to"
"We got a new recruit?" Makoto asked
"Yes his name is Kisumi Shigino, he's in the break room please attend to him I really must be going"
Makoto opened his mouth to say something but the Chief was already gone. Kisumi was here? He had seen him yesterday yeah, but he didn't expect to start working with him. He sighed and walked to the break room where kisumi was chatting up Fujimoto-san, still the same old Kisumi, Makoto thought with a smile. At least some things never changed.
"Kisumi must you hit on everyone you see" Makoto said with a laugh
Fujimoto looked at Makoto "You know him already?"
"We went to junior high together" Makoto said placing his lunch in the fridge
Kisumi face lit up with a big smile "Makoto I didn't know you worked as a fireman here"
"Well I wasn't in a great mood yesterday to talk about life" Makoto laughed uneasily
Kismumi tilted his head to the side "Are you Haru fighting or something?" Kismumi laughed then saw the sad look on Makoto's face and stopped putting his arm around his shoulders. "I'm sure whatever it is you and Haru will work it out, you were always joined at the hip"
"maybe" Makoto smiled not believing things would ever be the same between them "anyway let's focus on work, I'll show you were everything is, and check how far in your training you are"
Kisumi smiled "Yes sir! I love it when your all demanding"
Makoto rolled his eyes and lead the way, showing Kisumi around the station. The day went by fast with no major drama's, which being a firefighter is a good thing. Knowing that people were safe and no emergencies calmed Makoto.
"Well you were lucky it was a quiet day for your first day Kisumi" Makoto smiled "it's not usually as calm"
"Actually I'm disappointed I didn't get to see you in action" Kisumi pouted "So how about that drink"
Makoto sighed as they walked out of the station "I don't know I'm working again tomorrow"
Kisumi smiled big "so am I, its only one drink, to celebrate how reunion"
"Ok but only one"
Kiumi smiled in triumph and put his arm around Makoto's shoulders happily chatting away as they walked to a nearby bar. Makoto just smiled and nodded, not really paying attention. He's mind kept wondering, thoughts of Haru floated around his head. As they sat down and ordered their drinks Makoto idly checked his phone part of him hoping Haru had sent him a message. As expected though there was nothing there. He sighed and looked down at his drink.
"So what how did you get into firefighting, last I heard you wanted to teach kids" Kisumi asked sipping his drink
"When Haru left, I dropped out of university and started training in firefighting, since I like helping people"
"Haru left?"
Of course Kisumi didn't know all that, Makoto sighed "Rin came back to visit from Australia and Haru just disappeared with him without a word"
Kisumi looked at him sympathetically "I'm sorry Makoto, that must have been hard"
Makoto shrugged wanting this conversation to end. "It doesn't matter anymore"
"So is he still in Australia with Rin" Kisumi persisted
Makoto took a big swig of his drink wishing he was at home "Apparently not, I ran into them both yesterday"
Kisumi sat his drink down "Oh, no wonder you seemed down when I saw you yesterday"
Makoto stared into his cup, why did they have to talk about Haru. "uh anyway, how come you have become a firefighter Kisumi I never thought you would do that kind of thing"
Kisumi leaned over to Makoto their faces inches apart "You should forget about him"
"W-what?"
"You deserve to be happy and he just causes you pain"
Makoto was frozen, any closer and they would be kissing "K-kisumi I- "
Kisumi put I finger to Makoto's lips "Don't worry I won't do anything" he sat back down in his chair "yet"
"Huh" Makoto looked in shock "I-I need to get home"
Makoto gathered his things trying to leave as quick as humanly possible, without being to rude. Kisumi hits on everyone so it meant nothing, right? Makoto rushed out the door without a glance back, trying to comprehend what had happened. Completely unaware of the boy with blue eyes watching everything that had happened.
