MAKOTO
Makoto couldn't help but feel bad when Rin said he was waiting on Haru. He had figured out Rin's feelings for his friend a while ago, and he could tell by the determined look on the swimmer's face that he was actually going to act on it. But after the brunette agreed to leave them alone and was walking away, he felt guilt eating at his stomach. He knew what Haru's response would be… he should have said something. He should have warned him that he knew, but the rare look of hope he saw on Rin's face had stopped him. Yet that only made him feel worse.
As he reached the bus stop he waited again, worried as he watched for Haru to come out from a distance, but mostly he was looking out for Rin. He knew it was going to be a bad conversation. He knew it because he had done the same exact thing.
Nearly a year ago Makoto had asked Haru out shortly after he came out to him. Haru had rejected him just like how he was about to reject Rin. Even after Nagisa and Rei came up next to him, Makoto couldn't help the guilty feelings. Haru wasn't very good with words and he came off as cold-hearted often… and that was not a great way to reject someone.
Eventually their final teammate came up and while Nagisa teased Haru for taking so long, Makoto watched to see if Rin had followed. He didn't and Haru mentioned nothing about the redhead as they left and headed home. During the ride Nagisa's chatter made it so he started to put aside his worry. It actually worked all the way until he reached his house. After walking Haru home he set his bag down after finally reaching his room and pulled out his phone, surprised to see he had just missed a message from Rin.

Makoto smiled again, feeling a little happy that Rin was reaching out to him after what happened with Haru.

He ended up smiling again before tucking his phone back in his pocket as he decided to get at least a little of the homework he had left done before Rin got here.
