Haru and Makoto stopped in front of the restaurant , they saw their friends waiting for them... Haru also saw that Kisumi was standing there too. Haru looked back at Makoto, his eyes were filled with love and adoration. Makoto ran and lifted Kisumi off the ground, kissing him as he spun them around.
"You made it!" Makoto exclaimed.
Kisumi blushed.
"I got someone to cover my shift. Plus, I really wanted to see you." Kisumi saw that Makoto was still holding him up.
"Now put me down baka!"
Makoto laughed and kissed Kisumi once again before setting him down.
"I'm sorry. I'm just happy that you're here."
Makoto smiled at Kisumi, feeling like the luckiest person in the world. But neither of the couples noticed Haru standing a few feet away. He shifted awkwardly, he felt out of place and kind of sad. Haru wished that he hadn't said yes to coming along.
'This was a mistake.' He thought.
But before he could do anything, Nagisa ran over and dragged him inside the restaurant. Haru opened his mouth to speak.
''N-Nagisa, I'm not feeling well. So, I think I'm going to go.''
Nagisa was silent.
"Nagisa?"
''It's because of Kisumi and Makoto, isn't it?"
Haru stared back at him with shock and fear.
"No, Nagisa. That's ridiculous, why wouldn't I feel well because of Makoto and Kisumi? That's just-"
"I know you love him."
Nagisa turned around and stared at Haru. Haru shifted uncomfortably in front of his hard gaze. Finally he spoke.
''How long have you known?"
"A long time. For a while, I thought you two were dating."
Haru chuckled darkly.
"It's stupid, isn't it? How can I keep on loving him when he never sees me?! Even when we're together, it's a'Kisumi or 'Kisumi that'! I can't take it anymore! It hurts so much, that I can't even breathe!"
Haru gasped and noticed the tears that were falling down his face. Did he really feel this way? Nagisa gave him a few moments before speaking again.
"Do you hate Makoto?'' He asked.
Haru stared back in confusion.
"What? Why would you ask that?"
Nagisa took a deep breath.
"Do you hate Kisumi?''
"I-" Haru started, but stopped.
'Do I really hate him or do I hate the fact that he's with Makoto?' Haru thought.
"I-I don't know." He answered.
''For Kisumi or for Makoto?"
Haru couldn't breathe, he didn't know what to say. Then again, he wasn't really sure of anything at the moment. Because right then was when he saw Rei, Kisumi, and Makoto walk inside. Haru started to hyperventilate.
"I really need to leave, Nagisa."
The blond nodded.
"I'll tell them you were sick and had to go home."
Haru thanked him and left. He carefully slipped out of the restaurant, and ran into an alley. He slid down the wall and cried. He cried for what seemed like hours and when he was done, he asked himself something. Did he hate Makoto?
