Chapter: Nightmares and Confessions Part 1

The group entered Haru's house and immediately started settling in, Rei placed his bag pack on the floor and Nagisa headed straight to the kitchen looking for the usual unhealthy food he craved. Makoto fell to the floor gently, placing his back against the hard surface whilst stretching his muscles.

'Makoto.' Haru uttered. Mako looked up and just smiled at his friend causing Haru to smile back, another rare occasion for the boy to smile. Rei looked at the two and felt uneasy so he walked to the kitchen area where he found his boyfriend eating practically the whole contents of the kitchen

'Nagisa..' Rei uttered scratching his head by moving his hand through his ravishing purple hair.

Nagisa turned to look at Rei, 'oh yeah, we should probably call for Pizza tonight.'

Rei's hand connected with his own face and was soon followed by a sigh, how could his boyfriend like food so much? If only Gou was here he thought, if she was here Nagisa would be eating healthier food but then again that one time when coach came and brought pizza, the whole group was hungry and Gou didn't even seem to try and stop the group from eating pizza.

In the other room, Makoto and Haru were left alone.

'You okay?' Haru asked for the seven hundredth time of the day causing his best friend to respond with same response each time, a smile and a nod. The repetition of the question showed that Haru knew Mako was not okay and was concerned but he didn't want to force Makoto to express whatever was on his mind.

'I'm going to get you water.' Haru turned towards the kitchen so he could get his best friend a drink but as he entered he saw a not much of a great sight, in front of him against the worktops were Rei and Nagisa with their lips connected with each others. Haru gasped and froze before walking back out of the kitchen quickly . As he looked at his friends kissing he couldn't help but feel jealous. They were together in love and therefore were happy, they weren't alone unlike he was.

Haru walked out the kitchen and stormed past Makoto who was looking up expecting a water and to his surprise there was no water in Haru's hands.

'Haru.' Makoto said sitting up but there was no answer causing for the gentle giant to be concerned.

Haru felt annoyed and a little down, he ran outside and sat down on a step leading to the house. He held his knees close together and pushed them towards his chest whilst lowering his face. His tracksuit bottoms were becoming damp from the tears which were pouring from his eyes. What was his life? Is he going to be single forever? There was no one else but Makoto he wanted to be in a relationship with and the chance of Makoto ever entering a relationship with him was non existent.

He soon began to hear footsteps coming towards him, it was Makoto's footsteps, Haru loved his best friend that much he could sense him whenever he was around. He quickly dried his tears but remained looking down not facing his best friend.

'Haru-.'

'What?'

'Are you okay?'

'Yeah.' Haru replied.

'No you're not.' Makoto said whilst placing himself down next to Haru on the step.

Haru gasped a little, 'yeah I am.'

'You're my best friend Haru, I know when you're feeling down!'

Best friend, those two words stood out. Was that what Haru would always be to Makoto, a best friend?

Haru shrugged, 'i'm fine!.'

Makoto sighed before turning his body towards his friend and lifting Haru's face up from the downward angle. Haru gasped, it was bright, he was looking down for a while his eyes had adjusted to the dark. As they refocused he saw his best friend and it was not the usual gentle smile from Makoto but a serious one causing Haru to raise a brow.

As Makoto pushed Haru's face up he noticed that his best friends face was red and patchy, had he been crying? 'Tell me what's wrong now!'

'I just feel a little sick.' Haru lied.

Makoto saw through the lie, 'no you're not Haru, what's the real reason?'

Haru wanted to tell Makoto the real reason, the reason that he loved his best friend and that he would say no but he couldn't say that as their friendship would end and Makoto would never see him again, or so he thought.

Haru clenched his fists. 'DON'T YOU DARE GET SERIOUS WITH ME MAKO.'

Haru's voice was louder than usual causing Makoto to feel shocked and uneasy.

'I've been asking you all day if you're okay and all you've done is smile in response. Why don't you tell me the truth and say you're not okay because I don't think you are okay!'

Haru's heart rate increased with each word that left his mouth. It was a side that nobody saw of Haru often.

Makoto sighed. 'Fine! I'll tell you the truth, i'm not okay, i'm scared that when I go to sleep tonight i'll get another dream of you dying again and I don't want to see that because Haru I-I lo-lov'

Before Makoto could finish the sentence he was interrupted by Nagisa who walked out the front door and onto the steps behind Haru and Makoto. 'Haru-chan, Mako-chan, we've ordered pizza.'

Haru and Makoto turned around and glared evilly at Nagisa in unison. Both of their eyes were narrow and sharply pointed towards Nagisa as if they were looking into his soul, their facial muscles were tensed and their mouths were far from a smile. Nagisa started taking a step back, seeing Haru like this was odd as he was usually too calm for every situation but what was even more odd was seeing Makoto like this as he was always smiles.

Nagisa eventually took enough steps back before turning around and running towards his boyfriend Rei who was still in the kitchen on the phone waiting to know what pizza to order.

'Rei!' Nagisa shouted in a negative tone. 'Haru and Makoto have turned into demons!'

'Demons?'

'Yes demons, they glared at me so evilly when I asked them what they wanted for pizza so I just ran away.'

Rei laughed, 'you were probably daydreaming.'

Nagisa placed his hands on Rei's board shoulders before shaking him back and forward like a roller coaster ride, 'no i'm not, they looked both so angry, they didn't tell me what pizza they wanted.'

'Fine, I guess we won't have pizza tonight.'

'No, we will order for them, I still want pizza, i'll have theres if I must.'

Rei sighed before nodding, how was his boyfriend going to keep his performance up if he just kept on eating so unhealthily…

'Mako, what was you saying before Nagisa interrupted.'

Makoto blushed, 'ah nothing Haru-chan.' Before Haru could correct him on the title to call him Makoto ran indoors blushing, embarrassed to the situation, he was so close to confessing his love towards his best friend.

Whilst in the kitchen Rei heard footsteps and heavy breathing. 'What was that?'

Nagisa shrugged. 'Go check it out Rei-chan.'

Rei adjusted his glasses before walking out the kitchen and following the footsteps, eventually he caught up with the footsteps and saw Makoto in a corner with tears falling down his face like raindrops.

'Makoto-senpai what's wrong?' Rei spoke out at a fast rate.

'Nothing.' Makoto lied whilst looking up towards Rei.

The boy adjusted his glasses before sitting against the wall next to Makoto. Rei's heart was racing, he placed one hand around Mako's back, 'tell me everything Makoto-senpai.'

Makoto sighed, he realised he should open up about his real problems to someone and why not open up to a friend who's in a relationship with another boy who also happens also to be a friend.

'Rei..I-I.I..love Haru.'

Nagisa heard sobbing as he ate some other food he and laid his eyes upon. As Rei followed the footsteps earlier, Nagisa followed the sound of sobbing. The sound led to the same place Nagisa was not so long ago, the same place where he ran away because of Makoto and Haru. As he placed a step out the front door he saw Haru crying with his face against his knees.

'Haru-chan..'

Haru ignored the blonde haired boy, hoping he'd go away but he stayed. 'Haru-chan what's wrong?'

Haru continued to ignore but Nagisa only repeated himself causing Haru to eventually say, 'nothing.'

Nagisa sat down and placed an arm around Haru's back. 'I may not be as close to you as Makoto but i've been your friend for a good time now, a good enough time to know that something is wrong.'

Haru tensed as he heard Makoto's name but Nagisa was onto him that there was something wrong.

'Nagisa, you're my friend right?'

Nagisa nodded his head up and down.

'Well I kind of love someone…'

The blonde's face shifted from a concerned and worried look to a big smile, 'who's the lucky girl Haru-chan?'

Haru tensed again, how could he be so stupid?

'It's not a girl..'

Nagisa's face shifed again but this time it was to a confused look, he never picked Haru to be the gay type.

'A guy?'

Haru nodded whilst wiping the tears that were remaining on his patchy red face.

'Who is this guy Haru-chan?'

'It's Ma-Mak-Ma….Mako.'
