When Makoto got home, he sat down and had a think. What had happened that day confused him, and he had a little conversation with himself in the privacy of his own head.
You've had kiss scenes before, but you've never felt like this.
Maybe it's because he's a boy. I've never kissed a boy before.
Makoto decided that was the reason, and stood up to make himself some dinner. Then he had another thought.
That doesn't explain why you wanted to kiss Haru again.
Ah! Maybe because I was nervous, and my brain released a lot of chemicals, and made me think that I wanted to kiss him...
I'm overthinking it aren't I?
Makoto decided it was nothing to worry about, and went into the kitchen to make his favourite dish, green curry. As he was preparing the ingredients, his phone rang. He went to pick it up, smiling as he saw who the caller was. Predictably, it was Nagisa.
"Hello Nagisa."
"Mako-chan! How are you feeling?"
Makoto was confused for a second, then he remembered that he had used not feeling well as an excuse for not going to Nagisa's party.
"Yeah, I'm feeling a little better, I think I'll be able to come into work tomorrow if I rest for a bit."
"Speaking of work..."
Makoto had known that Nagisa was keen to talk about that scene since he had picked up the phone.
He sighed. "Go ahead."
"I wish I'd had a scene like that with Rei-chan! I'd love to kiss him like you did Haru-chan! It was so passionate and it looked so real!"
"You can kiss him like that Nagisa. He is only your boyfriend, after all." But on the inside, Makoto was concerned. So it showed that he was liking the kiss...
"Yes, but I can't do it on the show!"
Of course show-off Nagisa would like to kiss his boyfriend where everyone could see.
"But the director said to just hug! Because "I'm too innocent"..."
Makoto smiled. Anyone who knew Nagisa would know that he was not innocent at all. Nagisa ceased his grumbling. "Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Haru-chan left the party early, said he was going to your house."
"OK Nagisa. Thanks for calling. I need to get back to dinner now, sorry..."
"OK, bye Mako-chan!"
"Bye!"
As Makoto hung up, a knock sounded at the door.
Haru!
Wait, why am I getting so excited?
He opened the door to let Haruka in, and he was taken aback.
Haru's deep blue eyes were bright, his dark hair tousled, and his cheeks flushed a pink colour from the cold. In Makoto's eyes, at that moment, he looked...
Beautiful.
"I came to see how you were." said Haru, stepping through the door. "You were lying about being ill, weren't you?"
"Yeah, I was." mumbled Makoto sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "I just couldn't face one of Nagisa's parties, you know?" he said, while trying to clear his head of the totally inappropriate thoughts to have about one's best friend.
Haruka stepped into the kitchen and saw the ingredients for green curry laid out upon the counter.
"Oh yeah, I was going to cook, wasn't I?" exclaimed Makoto, following him.
"Sit down and I'll do it." said Haru.
"That's OK, Haru, you don't have to-" Makoto gulped as he was fixed with an intense stare.
"I want to."
*timeskip brought to you by Haru's awesome cooking*
"Thank you so much Haru-chan!" Makoto cried as a plate was set down in front of him.
Haruka merely said, "Drop the -chan." as he sat down beside him.
"Mmmm, it tastes so good, Haru! My cooking can never be as good as yours!"
Makoto found himself imaging what it would be like having Haru cook for him every day, just having him there all the time, by his side...
Then Makoto found the reason as to why he had been feeling strange all day.
He had a crush.
On Haru.
His best friend.
Makoto didn't know if Haruka even liked guys.
Hell, he hadn't known himself until now.
Makoto decided to keep it a secret.
I'll act like his boyfriend on the show, and if that's all I can get, it'll be enough.
A.N- Tiny bit (like a smidge) of angsty Makoto. Also, it's a total headcanon of mine that Makoto's really nervous about ending calls with his friends.
So what did you think? Did it seem believable?
