Fucking birds.
Todays the day I break it off with Makoto.
I don't want to hurt him but it has to be done.
I'm in love with Rin. There's no getting around it at this point.
Just as I roll over to go back to sleep, I hear the familiar song of Makoto's ringtone and groan.
"Hello?" I answer groggily.
"Haru! I'm sorry did I wake you?"
"Of course you did it's only-"
I roll and look at the clock, it's already two in the afternoon. Oops.
"Oh I'm sorry, it's just you texted me yesterday asking if we could meet up today, and well, I have the house all to myself." He says flirtatiously.
I feel a pang of guilt and tell him I'll be right over.
(20minutes later in the Tachibana residence)
Standing in front of his door I try to tell myself I'm doing the right thing. Makoto deserves way more than this. My heart doesn't belong to him and it's unfair to lead him on this way.
Before my hand even touches the door to knock Makoto swings it open and pulls me in.
I sit on the couch next to him and he starts to talk a mile a minute explaining the wriggling thing in his arms.
"I'm sooooo sorry my parents stuck me with my baby cousin last minute and I was gonna call you and tell you to not come over but as soon as I picked up the phone you were already out front and I'm so glad you're here is don't know how to take care of a baby soooooo," He stops to take a breath, "Haru, meet Tamaki." He pushes the baby at me, it's if he wants me to hold it.
I gingerly take the demon and hold it as far from my body as possible. Makoto frowns at me.
"Here let me help you," He moves my arms and pulls the baby close to me so I hold it properly, I look into its big, innocent blue eyes and glare.
"...Anyways, if we get him to sleep, we can talk about whatever you needed to."
Challenge accepted.
(-roughly five hours later-)
It took five fucking hours to get the devil reincarnate to sleep.
Makoto and I lay on the floor surrounded by debris, both breathing heavy.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asks.
I pull him to his room and sit him on his bed. I push him down kissing him tenderly, memorizing his body with my hands. I know what I have to do, but he earned this. Watching him take care of the beast, with such love, and patients, made me respect him so much more. I pull away and rest my head on his chest, listening to his increasing heart beat. Today was a glimpse into what it would be like to have a future with Makoto, he would love me unconditionally, but that's not what I want, it's boring.
I tear up a bit.
"Makoto, I-"
"I know," he says lightly petting my head. "you don't have to say it, you belong someone else."
"I'm sorry, I wanted to care for you the way you care about me, I just can't get over him, I know I'm stupid. But what can I say, I love him." I cry into his chest.
"You're not stupid. Just remember," He tilts my head and kisses my forehead, "When he hurts you, I'll be waiting." He kisses me one last time and I know he means it.
