Makoto yawned his breath coming out in a puff of mist into the cold morning air. It was 6am on the 23rd of December and Makoto was making his way to meet the others. Although part of him wished to be back in his warm bed, but he had to admit he was a little excited for this trip. He knew that Nagisa was probably up to something, but the prospect of spending a week with Haru made him forget all about his suspicions of Nagisa. He rounded the corner to the café they had planned to meet at, he spotted Nagisa, Rei and Haru sitting out the front.
"Good morning" He greeted them with a smile and looked around "Where's Rin and Sousuke?"
Haru simply shrugged and sipped his coffee "Rin's not a morning person" he stated
Nagisa let out an exasperated sigh "But how long has it been since we all went on a holiday together"
Haru and Makoto looked at each other "Never" they said in unison
Nagisa frowned "Exactly why this is special"
"Oi!" a tired and very grumpy looking Rin walked up to them "Who's idea was it to leave at this ungodly hour"
Everyone looked at Nagisa who held his hands up "Hey it was the only flight I could get"
Sousuke sauntered up behind Rin looking just as impressed as Rin with being up early, he nodded readjusting his bag on his back. With everyone gathered they made their way to the airport thankful for the warmth inside the aeroplane, shrugging off their heavy jackets and placing them in the overhead compartment (Nagisa getting help from Rei).
Nagisa where exactly are we going, you haven't told us anything except to pack warm clothes" Makoto asked
Nagisa smiled mischievously "It's a secret Mako-chan"
Before Makoto could ask more Nagisa put on some head phones and leaned his head on Rei's shoulder, looking to Rei for any helpful information "Sorry Makoto-senpai I promised not to say anything, but I'm sure you will all enjoy it Nagisa thought very carefully about where to go"
Makoto sighed in defeat and leaned back in his chair, his arm brushing Haru's who was seated to his left by the window "Oh sorry Haru" Haru just shrugged and turned to stare at the window. He hoped he could find out what was wrong with Haru over the next week, it was almost like he had been avoiding him. But Makoto was sure he hadn't done anything that would anger Haru, had he? Sighing he put his headphones in his ears and let the music block everything out.
Haru was very much aware of how close Makoto was to him, he could feel the heat radiating off his body. He mentally slapped himself, he shouldn't be thinking this, how did he fall in love with his best friend. He sighed leaning his head on his hand, it's not that there was anything wrong with being in love with Makoto, it was more that he only just got this friendship back. He didn't want to lose it again by scaring Makoto away with his feelings.
Haru looked at Makoto who had his head back with his eyes closed, his breath even and relaxed, he must have fallen asleep. Haru's eyes were drawn to Makoto's lips, they looked incredibly soft, he wondered what to would be like to kiss them. Shaking his head, he faced the window again looking out at the clouds below. His eyes began to grow heavy, as sleep began to take him.
Rin sat behind Haru and watched them curiously, they seemed more distant then normal, he wondered if Haru had finally realised his feelings. He sighed leaning back in his chair, leaning his head on Sousukes shoulder sleepily.
"They might see us" Sousuke whispered
"They are all asleep" He said waving his arms around dramatically
Sousuke frowned "You'll have to tell them eventually"
Rin sighed burring his face in Sousuke's shoulder "I know that"
Sousuke grabbed Rin's hand "why don't you want them to know"
Rin sighed looking down at their intertwined hands "I don't know, I guess I spent so long loving Haru this is all new to me, and I don't know how they will react"
Sousuke rested his head on top of Rin's "They are your friends and good people, they aren't going to worry, besides Haru has moved on"
Rin frowned "I know" he said softly "I know I should be happy for him, but I guess part of me is having trouble letting go"
Sousuke wrapped his arms around Rin in an awkward hug in the small plane seats "I promise things will get easier and I will always be here. I will never ever leave you like he did"
Tears formed in the corners of Rins eyes "I deserved what he did"
"People learn from their mistakes" Sousuke said simply
They relaxed back into their seats, fingers still entwined together, sleep eventually taking them to.
"Ladies and Gentlemen this is your captain speaking we will be beginning our decent soon, please pack away any loose belongings you have in the overhead compartment, please stay seated and buckled until we have come to a stop, thank you and I hope you enjoyed your flight"
The captain's speech stirred Makoto from his sleep, something fluffy was ticking his chin, but Ruka wasn't here. His eyes snapped open as he realised Haru was asleep on his shoulder, Makoto smiled looking down at his peaceful sleeping face. As much as he wanted to stay like this for a while longer he woke Haru.
"Haru" He whispered shaking him gently "Wake up we are about to land"
Haru groaned rubbing his eyes "Did I fall asleep?"
Makoto smiled "I think we all did" he chuckled and fastened his seat belt
Once the plane had landed safely they made their way through the airport to get their bags. Nagisa was happily bouncing along in front of everyone. As they reached the front doors they were met with a scenery covered in white, Nagisa had brought them to the snow. Nagisa turned around to face everyone with a triumphant smile on his face.
"You could have picked somewhere warmer" Rin mumbled
Nagisa pouted at him "You just got to use to the warm weather in Australia, I promise this will be the best holiday ever, we will be staying at one of the best ski lodges here"
Makoto fidgeted "uh not sure I like the idea of skiing"
"You will be fine Mako-chan I have organised us lessons"
Makoto sighed in defeat as they climbed into the cars that would take them to the lodge. They were greeted with warmth of a massive fire in the entrance, it was mostly decorated with wood but there was a hint of modernism with electronic gadgets placed throughout, it looked more like a hotel then lodge. Makoto looked around in awe, the lounge contained another fireplace as well as a big flat screen TV, this looked like one expensive place.
"Nagisa how much did this cost exactly?" Makoto asked
"Don't you worry about that Mako-chan, we are here to enjoy ourselves" Nagisa said prancing to the front desk to check them in. he came back looking like someone had stolen his sweets "There's been a mix up with rooms"
Unsure of how bad this mix up was they followed nagisa as he led them to their rooms. It turned out there was only two to a room, Rei and Nagisa took the first one, Sousuke stated he would only share with Rin so they took the room opposite. Which left Haru and Makoto in the room next to Rin and Sousuke. Makoto looked at Haru, who looked unhappy about the arrangement, sighing he opened the door to the room to find there was only one queen sized bed.
"Nagisa!" Makoto called frantically
Nagisa popped his head in the door "Mako-chan I forgot to tell everyone they only had rooms with queen beds left" he said winking shutting the door before he could protest.
Makoto looked to Haru who was busy staring out the window, he was probably majorly unhappy with this. "I can sleep on the floor Haru, I don't mind"
Haru turned to face Makoto "We have done it before, this is no different"
Makoto gaped at him "Well yeah, I guess..."
Haru shrugged "The bed would be better than the floor, plus I don't bite"
Makoto gaped at Haru who excused himself to go try out the bath, he was going to share a bed with Haru. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Makoto tried to calm himself. They shared a bed all the time when they were younger so this probably meant nothing to Haru, he needed to stop getting so worked up about it. Sighing he laid back on the bed, either way sharing a bed with Haru did make him happy.
Makoto walked out on their private balcony the brisk air cooling him off, they had a perfect view of the snow covered mountains. "Makoto" Haru's voice pulled him from his thoughts, he turned and walked back into the room to come face to face with Haru who was completely naked and dripping wet.
Makotos face grew hot "H-haru, W-why…uh…" he spluttered
"I couldn't find the towels" Haru said simply although Makoto swore he could see abit of red on his cheeks
Makoto fumbled his way over to the cupboard that contained the towels "H-here" he said holding out the towel to him trying not to look at him.
Haru reached out to grab the towel, but tripped falling onto Makoto, who fell backwards onto the bed. Green eyes stared into Blue, their faces were inches apart. Makoto had subconsciously placed his arms around Haru as the fell. His fingers tingled with the warmth of Haru's back, his breath warm on his neck.
"H-haru" it came out a husky whisper "uh….w-we…shou…."
The door burst open "Haru-chan, Mako-ch…whoa" Nagisa stopped halfway through the door "Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything"
Makoto's face went completely red "T-this…. He….It…"
"I fell over" Haru stated getting off Makoto and wrapping the towel around his waist
"Fell….Riiiiiiiiigghhhht" Nagisa drawled "anyway when you guys are done fondeling eachother meet us in the lounge"
Without another word he flounced out the door, Makoto slowly sat up his face complelty red. He opened his mouth trying to find the right words to say. "Makoto" Haru said in a monotone voice "you might want to take a bath"
Makoto looked at him confused "Huh?" Haru motioned to his crotch which was bulged "Oh crap"
Makoto ran to the bathroom shutting the door behind him and leaning against it. He looked down at his crotch disapproving, when the hell did that even happen. Makoto slid down the door until he was curled up on the ground, there was no way he would be able to face Haru.
Meanwhile on the other side of the door a now dressed Haru sat on the bed smiling to himself, he had never meant to forget the towel but now he was happy he did. He could still feel Makoto's warmth on his body, he just hoped things wouldn't be weird between them now. He idly wondered why Makoto had got so excited, maybe he liked him? Haru sighed and stood up, he at least knew Makoto was feeling very embarrassed so he would head down to the lounge without him.
"Makoto" He said through the door "I'm going to head down to the lounge"
"O-ok" Came the muffled voice on the other side of the door "I'll be down soon"
As Haru exited their room shutting the door behind, out of the corner of his eye he saw something pink go around the corner. He shook his head; he must be seeing things. Entering the lounge, he found the other by the fire place chatting among themselves. Nagisa spotted him and waved him over.
"Haru-chan where's Mako-chan?" he said with a suggestive wink
Haru looked at the fire "He had something he had to do quickly"
Nagisa chuckled "something unexpected arose huh"
Rin looked from Nagisa to Haru "Did we miss something?"
"Nothing for you to worry about Rin-chan, well while we wait for Mako-chan I'll fill you on what we are doing for the rest of the day"
"Let me guess is it skiing?" Rin said sarcastically
"how did you know Rin-chan" Nagisa asked gobsmacked
"Lucky guess" Rin said leaning back on Sousuke
Haru was the only one who seemed to notice how close Rin and Sousuke were, but he decided against asking about it, he knew Rin well enough to know he would probably bite his head off. Nagisa went on oblivious to everything going on.
"Ok so we will be getting lessons this afternoon and tomorrow, then we will have a party tomorrow night and exchange gifts" Nagisa bounced excitedly as he spoke
Makoto walked up looking bashful still "S-sorry I'm late" he muttered
"Sit down Mako-chan I was just telling everyone the plan for today and tomorrow"
Makoto looked at the only empty seat was next to Haru "Uh…I'll stand"
Rin raised an eyebrow at them "Wha-"
"Okay!" Nagisa shouted jumping up "let's go meet our instructor"
Rin gave Makoto a look saying he would be asking later what was going with him and Haru, Makoto was wondering how he could get away from everyone as soon as their lesson finished. They grabbed their snow jackets and headed outside into the freezing cold air. Haru walked out after everyone still struggling with the zipper on his jacket, that had somehow got stuck.
"Haru" Makoto took a step towards him then hesitated "W-would you like some help"
Haru looked up at him and nodded, Makoto thought his cheeks might have been a little red but that could have been because of the cold air. Makoto walked over gently grabbing the front of his jacket, fiddling with the zip he managed to get it unstuck.
"Makoto smiled warmly down at Haru "Done, reminds me of old times"
Haru looked down at his feet "You were always pedantic about making sure I wore my uniforms right"
Makoto chuckled "yeah, I guess I was"
"Good afternoon everyone, instructor Adachi has had a bit of an accident so I will be your instructor today" came an all too familiar voice, Makoto felt his chest restrict. How could he be here, Haru moved in front of Makoto protectively, everyone stared confused.
"Kisumi!"
