The next few days went by fast, Makoto was sure Haru had been avoiding him, every morning he would be gone before Makoto work up and he would only see him during the day with everyone. It was the morning of new year's eve already, Makoto sighed placing the book he had been attempting to read on his lap, the bracelet on his wrist catching his eye. He hadn't talked to Haru since the morning he had met up with Kisumi, he still didn't understand what he did to make Haru so angry, all he knew was that he wanted fix it. He didn't want to lose Haru again.
A knock on his room door pulled him out of his thoughts "Mako-chan!" Nagisa sung through the door. Makoto didn't feel like dealing with Nagisa right now but he knew that ignoring him wasn't an option "Mako-chan! I know your I know you're in there!"
He sighed and opened the door "Whats up Nagisa?" he said leaning on the doorway.
"Rin-chan and Sousuke are dating!" he yelled
Was this all he came to tell him "I already knew that"
Nagisa smiled dropped a little "Oh well, anyway that's not why I'm here, the lodge is holding a party tonight"
A party? Maybe he could corner Haru there and talk to him "Ok, and?"
Nagisa jumped up and down "And I want us all to go so we can bring in the new year together! Like old times, there's no shrine here, but I think we could still have a great time"
"Is Haru going?" Makoto asked
Nagisa smiled slyly "You will have to come and see for yourself"
With that he skipped off down the hall leaving Makoto to his thoughts. Tonight he would fix things with Haru.
Haru sauntered into the lounge, looking around to make sure Makoto was no nowhere in sight. He felt bad for avoiding Makoto but he didn't want to blurt anything out before tonight. He checked his watch, 12:04 pm, damn it was only lunch time. He sighed made his way to get some lunch, he rounded the corner to restaurant part of the lodge and stopped dead in his tracks, Makoto was standing chatting to Asahi and Kisumi, anger boiled up inside Haru. Why did he keep acting like nothing had happened between him and Kisumi, Haru just couldn't understand how he could just forget it all like that?
Haru wasn't really a violent person, but right now all he wanted to do was punch Kisumi in the face, yes he may have had a hard time but it didn't make what he did to Makoto ok. He shouldn't have Makoto's trust back so easy when Haru had to work so hard for it. He clenched his fist, he had to do something, before he knew what he was doing he was walking over to them and grabbed Makoto by the arm.
"H-Haru" Makoto yelped
"You shouldn't get so close" He muttered softly
"Eh? B-but Haru"
Kisumi frowned "I did apologise for everything Haru"
Haru glared at him "Apologizing doesn't fix it"
Makoto looked between the two of them "B-but Haru, you heard his story didn't you?"
Haru didn't take his eyes off Kisumi "Yes, it was horrible but that is no excuse for how he treated you"
"Har-"
"No his right Makoto" Kisumi cut him off "I never intended to use it as an excuse, I should never of done what I did, I was feeling hurt and lonely and wanted someone to accept me, but when you showed back up I got desperate, I know saying sorry won't fix any of these but I swear I will never do anything like that again, besides" he paused glancing at Asahi beside him "I have someone who accepts me"
Haru looked between Asahi and Kisumi and could see they had clearly been holding hands. So he wasn't trying to get to Makoto again, Haru felt the embarrassment creep in. "I-I have to go" he muttered before walking as fast as he could out of there, ignoring Makoto calling his name.
Haru ran upstairs and into their room, heading straight for the bathroom and locking it behind him. He was still angry at Kisumi, but knowing that he wasn't after Makoto had been a relief. He splashed water on his face, he had to calm himself down, he needed to finish the preparations for tonight. He heard the room door open and held his breath, why had he come back here? He could of known Makoto would follow him, maybe he would think he wasn't here and leave again. There was a soft tap on the bathroom door.
"Haru I know you're in there" came Makoto's soft voice, Haru remained silent "C-can we talk please"
"You're talking" Haru said
Makoto sighed "I'd rather not have a door between us"
Haru hesitated, he had avoided Makoto for most of the week vowing not to speak to him until the new year's eve party "this is fine"
Makoto sighed on the other side of the door "I know what Kisumi done was wrong, but if I stayed mad at every person who did me wrong we would be friends again would we" he paused "I don't want us to fight Haru"
He thought they were fighting? I guess it looked like that since Haru had been avoiding him like the plague, he walked over to the door placing his forehead against it "We're not fighting" he couldn't hear anything on the side of the door, Maybe Makoto had left "Makoto?"
"I'm here, just confused, if we aren't fighting why are you avoiding me?"
Haru put a hand up on the door "I can't answer that yet"
On the other side of the door Makoto looked at the door in confusion, if they weren't fighting why had Haru been avoiding him? He opened his mouth to ask then stopped, knowing Haru there was no point pushing, if he didn't want to talk about something he wouldn't. Makoto softly placed his hand on the door.
"Ok, tell me when you're ready" he turned to walk away
"Tonight" Haru said "Meet me tonight and I'll tell you"
A smile spread across Makoto face, maybe everything would work out "Ok I'll see you tonight"
When Haru was sure Makoto had left he pulled his phone out and dialled Rei's number "Rei!" he said "Is everything ready?"
"Just about Haruka-senp—ahhh! Nagisa becareful with that! You could electrocute yourself"
Haru sighed frustrated, he had asked Nagisa and Rei to help but now he was slightly regretting that "He better not ruin it"
"D-don't worry Haruka-senpai everything will be perfect"
He hung up slightly wishing he had asked Rin to help, Rins smug looking face flashed across Haru's mind, actually no Rin would have been worse. Everything had to be perfect tonight he didn't want anything to go wrong. Now for the last crucial part of the plan, he thought opening the bathroom door, choosing the perfect outfit.
Makoto sat by the fire in lounge glancing at his watch, 4:15pm, he sighed running a hand through his hair, the afternoon was dragging by at a horribly slow pace. Makoto had been impatient since his little talk with Haru, he didn't know what he wanted to talk about it couldn't be too bad if he said they weren't fighting.
"Oi Makoto" Came Rins voice "What are doing sitting here being a loner"
Makoto looked sideways at Rin who was standing with Sousuke" Got nothing else to do until tonight"
Rin smiled showing his sharp pointy teeth "They have a games room, want to verse me in table tennis?"
Makoto glanced at Sousuke, he didn't want to interrupt their time "I'll play the winner" Sousuke grunted
Makoto nodded "Ok I'm in"
They made their way to the games room, Rin grabbed his phone out sending a quick message.
To: Haru
From: Rin
We will keep him busy in the games room until the party
A reply came fast
To: Rin
From: Haru
Thanks
True to his word Rin kept Makoto busy until the party started at 10pm, Haru nervously changed into the outfit he had picked out, it was basically the only semi-formal outfit he had, it was navy blue button up shirt, with black dress pants and match leather dress shoes. He wished they had a mirror he would check himself in, sighing hoping that he looked ok he left the room heading down to the party, Nagisa had informed him that Makoto already arrived at the party.
"Oi!"
Haru stopped walking down the hall and turned to look at Rin who was leaning on his doorway in a blood red button up shirt and black dress pants. "What?"
Rin smiled "Good luck tonight"
Haru just nodded continuing on his way, the party was being held in a function room, which was just passed the bar. He reached the bar and could hear the noise from the party, he paused standing near the bar. He took a deep breath and walked into the function room, it was crowded with all the guests and staff in there, Haru hated crowded places, he craned his neck trying to spot Makoto, or at least someone he knew.
"Haru"
Haru froze and turned ever so slowly around, Blue eyes met Green "Makoto" he behind him stood Makoto in an emerald green button up shirt and black dress pants, he shirt fit him well so Haru could make out his muscles underneath, he felt even more nervous now. "Uh w-wheres Rei and Nagisa"
"Over there"
Haru followed his gaze towards the dance floor where Nagisa and Rei were awkwardly dancing. Haru snorted, he couldn't help it they look ridiculous, but they also looked so in love. Would him and Makoto end up like that? He wondered, he shook his head, focus, he told himself.
"H-Haru" came Makoto's soft voice "D-do you want to dance"
Makoto could feel his face heating up, he knew he must have been blushing like crazy, he couldn't believe he actually ask Haru to dance. He saw Haru look down at his watch, was he waiting for someone else maybe?
"S-sure" he answered looking down at his feet
Makoto smiled and offered Haru his hand, the quietly made their way onto the dance floor, swaying slowing with the music. Makoto was sure his hands were sweating really bad, which was not attractive in the least.
"Makoto" Haru said softly "Are you wearing cologne?"
Makoto blushed "uh yeah"
Haru smiled "I like it"
The lapsed back into silence, both lost in their own thoughts as the music moved them around the dance floor. "H-haru i-"
"Mako-chan! Haru-chan!" Came Nagisa's loud voice he had latched on Haru pulling him away "I want to dance with Haru-chan, you can dance with Rei-chan"
Makoto looked at Rei awkwardly "How about we go have drink" Makoto offered
"Thank you Makoto-senpai" Rei said obviously relieved he wouldn't have to dance with him
They grabbed a drink and found a empty table on the side of the dance floor, Makoto never taking his eyes of Haru, after all he looked really good in that blue shirt. A sad sigh escaped Makoto lips.
"Makoto-senpai is everything ok?" Rei asked concerned
Makoto flashed a reassuring smile "I'm fine, I was just feeling a little lonely I guess"
Rei pushed his glasses up his nose "Why Is that?"
Makoto fidgeted staring down at his drink "Well, I mean you have Nagisa, Rin has Sousuke now" he pasued looking at Haru and Nagisa on the dancefloor "but I have no one"
"you may not be in a relationship Makoto-senpai, but you have all of us as friends" Rei smiled "Therefore you are not all"
Makoto turned his gaze to Rei, who had his know-it-all smile on his face "I guess your right" he said softly "I do appreciate you guys, I guess I just want to settle down with a that special someone as well"
"I'm sure you will find someone sooner than you think" Rei said sipping his water (He didn't like drinking alcohol)
Makoto smiled and let his eyes wonder out to the dance floor "I hope your right"
