Chapter 4
Unexpectedly, Kise took Haru to his bedroom. Haru didn't even know this was Kise's house, but apparently it was. Once the door was shut, Haru immediately began stripping off the mascot costume. He didn't mind cuz his swimsuit was underneath the mascot costume. "Here, use this," Kuse said throwing a towel at Haru's head.
"Thanks," Haru said, a bit starstruck. Kise's so cool! He thought, in his head. He could tell that, unlike Makoto, Kise was one of those rare nice rich people. That also came from years of being Kise's fan, but Haru would never deign to say such. He dried his wine-soaked hair.
Kise started going through his closets, tossing outfits onto his bed. "Try on one of these outfits and see which is best, Nanasecchi," He said, smiling. Haru couldn't believe that Kise knew his name. This must have shown on his face because Kise suddenly laughed. "Yamazakicchi talks about you all the time. Anyway go ahead and look through those close. Don't be shy just 'cause I'm here!"
Haru just shook his head, but as he opened his mouth to speak, Kise cut him off yet again. "Oh, wait! But first, take these," he said, hastily placing a closed box on the bed.
"Shoes?" Haruka questioned, peering down at the box. He curled his toes against the carpet. Kise nodded.
"Yup! My mom always said 'good shoes will take you to good places'. You need a good pair of shoes, Nanasecchi. And you can even keep them after tonight. They're too small for me, but they look like they should be about your size." Haru's eyes widened and he immediately dipped into a bow.
"Thank you so much! That's very kind of you, but I'll just take the shoes." he murmed.m He snatched the box. Kise's eyes went wide shock.
"Just the shoes? You can't just go in swimsuit!" He gasped.
Haru turned and smiled at him confidently. "Don't worry." He said. "This is how I'm must confortamblr."
He turned and left the room while Kise simply sputtered. Once the door was shut securely behind him, he tucked the box under his arm and sprinted to the end of the hall, taking a left turn. Once he rounded the corner, he crouched and opened the box. He was completely fablergastered by what he saw. "I-Impossible!" He breathed out, heart nearly stopping.
Inside the box was a pair of black, jeweled high heels. They sparkled in the candelight.
It couldn't be... Was Kise trying to say something? No, that couldn't be it. He'd seemed genuine when he'd offered these to Haruka. Was it that he thought simply that these shoes suited Haruka?
I-If Kise wants me to wear these shoes, Haru thought, eyes fixated on the shoes. His grip on the box tightened. "Then... I must!"
When he realized his mistake, it was too late. By the time he'd burst frantically through his door and back out into the hall, Haruka was gone.
And so were his shoes.
The panic set in. What to do? It wasn't like he could just burst into the party and demand the shoes back from Haru. Then everyone would know they were his!
But what if Haru told everyone that he'd been the one who gave them to him?
"This won't do," he sulked. "Now I have to buy a whole new pair..."
All this because he didn't make sure he was giving Haru the right pair of shoes. He gotta keep an eye on Haru to make sure he didn't spill the beans, so he ran down to the party.
"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider, Makoto? Sousuke is a vital part of this team. This alliance, if you will," Rin pleded with Makoto.
"If you like that nice little fortune your family has, you shoulld refrain. from questioning. My order! As captain!" Makoto said in a low deadly voice.
Rins tarterd to say sudden when there was a sudden clammer of commotion. "What's all this hooplah!?" Nagisa exclamored. Makoto pushed his way through the crowd and what he saw awed him. In was walking Haru, wearing only his jammers and a pair of designer heels. Time seemed to grind to a halt. Makoto wasn't the only one mesmerized by the sight.
Haru, meanwhile, was practically glowing. Confidently he stode into the room. Finally Makoto tore his eyes away. He snickered, though he seemed somewhat unnerved. "That guy," he muttered. "He wears expensive stuff well after all." Nitori agreed.
Sousuke too, thought Haru pulled off the look weel. He began to play to play a funky tune on his cello, when he was distracted by Kise suddenly arriving next to him.
"He looks surprisingly good, doesn't he?" Kise said smiling before turning to Sousuke. "Nanasecchi, I mean."
There was a long, silent pause between them before Sousuke turned away from Kise. "Don't drag innocent people into your weird habits."
"So mean! Yamazakicchi~," he whined, leaning on Sousuke's new cello. Sousuke just walked away. He intended to leave the room, but on the way to do so, he ran into Haru. Their eyes met.
"You don't look bad," Sousuke said to Haruka, smiling. Haru's eyes widened.
"Could it be...," Haru whispered. "...You want me to dance with you?"
Sousuke's smile vanished. "E-Eh...?" He straightened his shoulders. "That is-, er..."
"I will! That is, I don't mind!" And before Sousuke could object, Haru pulled him onto the dance floor and they waltzed. Haru had the time of his life, but kept stepping on Sousuke;s feet.
"What's this?" Rin murmurs from next to Makoto. "Those two are surprisingly in-sync with each other."
As he watched the scene unfold in front of him, watched Haru dance with Sousuke, all smiles and laughter, Makoto felt something twist up inside of him. His jaw tightened, and he turned away from it, pushing his way back through the crowd and outside onto the grounds. He went over to the pool. He stood there silently raging, but he didn't know why. On the surface he appeared calm, but ti wasn't long before the rage exploded. He started throwing tables and chairs. He was so mad.
The next chair he picked up was really heavy, but he didn't care in his anger. It soon became his folly as a cry from ablove starlted him. He looked ablove him and saw Eren Yager, with no clotes. He must have fallen asleep in the chair. they both fell into the pool.
Rin showed up just as they feel in. "My word! Makoto can't swim unless he's on his back! Some one help!"
Haru heard the cry for help amd sprinted there. "What's going on?"
"Makoto and some nudist have fallen into the pool and they cannot get out!"
Haru saw in horror that it was his friend, Eren Yageror, in the flesh, "Literally," Rin smirked, drowning. What should he do? Should he save Eren or Makoto?
"Hurry! You have to save Makoto!" Rin screamed in slow motion.
"Why are you just letting them drown! You monster!" Goro shouted perfectly. Rei shook his head.
Haru dived in. He grabbed hold of the one closest to him and dragged them out of the pool. It was...
