The next two days had gone by quickly to Haruka's dismay. It was finally Makoto's birthday and the last day he would be in Iwatobi until summer. Haruka didn't want to think about it. He wanted to be happy on Makoto's special day and send him off with a smile. Everything was planned out. They'd have a picnic with Makoto's family, Nagisa, Rei, Kisumi and Hayato. Afterwards Haruka would spend the rest of the day alone with Makoto and give him his present.

The present…That was something Haruka was nervous about. It was Nagisa's idea and although Haruka was reluctant at first, eventually he accepted to do it. What Makoto would think about it and what his reaction would be Haruka would soon find out. Grabbing a small bag that was sitting on his table, Haruka walked towards the entrance, put on his shoes and left his house.

Walking down the stairs Haruka made it to the Tachibana household. He gently knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. It didn't take long for the door to open and Haruka to be greeted by his boyfriend's smile. Makoto was wearing a green v-neck shirt that matched his eye color and black jeans that fitted to his body.

"Haru! Come in! My dad should be here soon with the van."

"Sure. Oh, here's your present. I have another one for you, but I'll give it to you later."

Makoto grabbed the bag and Haruka's hand at the same time. He pulled Haruka towards him and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Thanks Haru. I can't wait to open it. But why did you get me two presents? I'd be happy with just one from you."

"Is it bad to want to shower your boyfriend with gifts on his birthday?" Haruka replied with a slight blush on his face.

Makoto chuckled, "No, its fine. I'm looking forward to both."

"Makoto, stop flirting with Haru and let him inside," Mrs. Tachibana interrupted as she poked her head out from the kitchen. Makoto let go of Haruka and smiled nervously. Haruka walked passed Makoto and up to Mrs. Tachibana. She was covered in flour. "It's always so nice to see you Haru! Ah, if you're wondering why I'm covered in flour, well, I decided to bake a cake with Ren and Ran's help. They're upstairs changing. I'm about to go do the same."

"I'm sure it'll be delicious," Haruka replied.

"Why thank you Haru. I'll let Makoto give you company while I go change. My husband should be here soon." Mrs. Tachibana turned around and walked up the stairs, leaving Haruka and Makoto alone. Haruka turned to face Makoto and wrapped his arms around Makoto's waist. Makoto did the same.

"I can't wait for all of us to be together. But I feel a little bad for not inviting Rin…" Makoto said while he rested his chin on Haruka's head.

"It would have been awkward if you did. It's already going to be interesting with Kisumi there."

"Kisumi won't give you any trouble Haru."

"Good," Haruka responded. His hands slowly started to make their way onto Makoto's butt which took the taller male by surprise.

"H-Haru!"

"Hm?"

"Y-Your hands!"

"It's your fault for wearing clothes that show off your body."

"Should I change?"

"No…I like what you're wearing now." Haruka looked up at Makoto and moved forward to kiss him. They didn't realize how long they had been kissing until they heard someone clear their throat. Haruka and Makoto leaned away from each other and looked to the side. Ren and Ran were glaring daggers at them.

"Ren! Ran! The two of you look great!" Makoto said trying to change the atmosphere and letting go of Haruka.

"It's not fair! I want to kiss you too!" Ran yelled.

"Yeah, me too!" Ren added.

"Too bad, he's mine," Haruka replied bluntly. Makoto's face turned a bright shade of red. To Makoto's relief, Mrs. Tachibana was making her way downstairs already dressed in a colorful spring dress.

"Alright, let's get going everyone. Remember this is Makoto's special day so please behave." Everyone nodded their heads. Makoto was glad he had a mom that could easily change the atmosphere. If it wasn't for her, he didn't want to imagine what could have happened between his lover and his siblings.

The picnic was going well as everyone ate and talked with one another. It was a beautiful sunny day. Ren, Ran and Hayato were busy playing tag after they ate, leaving the adults to sit under a tree by themselves.

"You're going to love my present Mako-chan!" Nagisa cheerfully said as he continued to eat his piece of watermelon.

"I'm excited to see what it is Nagisa," Makoto replied.

"I'm not looking forward to going back to class. I wish this break was longer," Kisumi said with a look of disappointment.

"It'll be fine Kisumi. We just have a few months left until we're done with the year."

"You're right. Not too long now," Kisumi replied. He took a sip of his soda and took a quick glance at Haruka. He couldn't help but feel envious seeing how close Makoto and Haruka were sitting next to each other.

"Makoto, why don't you start opening your presents?" Mrs. Tachibana suggested.

"Okay. Ren! Ran! Hayato! We're going to open presents!" Makoto yelled. The three quickly stopped playing and ran over to sit with everyone. Mrs. Tachibana handed Makoto a green bag.

"This is from your father and me. Happy birthday honey." Makoto reached into the bag and took out a medium sized white plush cat. He then took out a dark green jacket along with an envelope that contained $100.

"Wow! Thank you mom and dad! I love them!"

"We knew you would," Mr. Tachibana replied with a small smile.

"Open ours next!" Ran said as she handed Makoto a small box. Makoto opened it and found different kinds of beach shells along with a drawing of the Tachibana family.

"This is amazing! Thanks Ren and Ran! I'll make sure to put the picture on my dorm wall and keep the shells in a safe place." The twins beamed with satisfaction. Nagisa grabbed a yellow bag and moved it in front of Makoto.

"It's my turn! Get ready to be amazed Mako-chan!"

Makoto laughed a little. He reached into the bag and took out a picture frame with a picture of Nagisa, Rei, Haruka and Makoto. He reached in again and took out a bottle of body lotion and a green Iwaobi t-shirt. "Thanks Nagisa! These are really great!"

"You're welcome Mako-chan!"

"Eh? There's another box in here."

"You might want to open that later," Nagisa said with a wink. Makoto smiled nervously and nodded. He could only imagine what it was. Rei handed Makoto a blue bag.

"I hope you like it Makoto-senpai."

Makoto reached into the bag and pulled out a book on nutrition, a book on swimming and a book about different kinds of cats. "Thanks Rei!"

"Rei! I told you not to give Mako-chan books!" Nagisa said with a pout.

"I couldn't think of anything else! Besides, Makoto-senpai will be able to read all of them. Right Makoto-senpai?"

"That's right. I really do appreciate it."

"Kisumi! Give Makoto our present now!" Hayato said while he pulled on Kisumi's shirt. Kisumi grabbed onto the pink bag and handed it over to Makoto.

"This is from Hayato and me. Happy birthday."

Makoto reached into the bag and took out a basketball jersey, a bag of candy and a birthday day card with a kitty on it. "This is really thoughtful. I love it! Thanks Hayato, Kisumi." Hayato smiled while Kisumi nodded his head.

"Haru-chan! You're last!" Nagisa said as he eyed Haruka with a slight grin. Haruka grabbed the small blue bag that was left and gave it to Makoto.

Makoto opened Haruka's present and was surprised when he took out a long black box. He opened it to reveal a dolphin necklace. He looked up at Haruka who smiled at him. He took out the whale necklace from underneath his shirt to show Makoto. "I owe you for letting me have that dolphin key chain when we were kids."

Makoto smiled back and looked down at the necklace. "I love it Haru. I'll make sure to wear it."

"Why don't you put it on now?" Mrs. Tachibana suggested. Haruka and Makoto blushed and looked at one another. Haruka nodded and grabbed the dolphin necklace. He moved behind Makoto and wrapped the necklace around his neck. Everyone except for Kisumi looked at the two with smiles on their faces. Kisumi slowly clutched his hand into a tight fist. It took all of his self-control to keep calm. No matter what he said, he still wasn't over Makoto. Seeing Haruka act so lovingly towards Makoto only made Kisumi want to steal the olive haired male even more.

The day had gone by in a flash. After the picnic, Haruka and Makoto spent some time together, walking next to the Iwatobi beach. They ate some ice cream and went back to Haruka's place for the final present Nagisa had kept talking about. Makoto and Rei waited outside while Nagisa and Haruka were doing who knows what in Haruka's house. After ten minutes had passed the front door had finally opened.

Nagisa left Haruka's house, satisfied with what he had done and approached Rei and Makoto who were waiting in front of Makoto's place. "Haruka's ready to give you your present Mako-chan! Enjoy!" Nagisa grabbed Rei's hand and ran away, leaving Makoto to wonder what his blond haired friend had done to Haruka. Makoto turned towards the steps and walked up to Haruka's house. He opened the door, took off his shoes and looked around.

"Haru?"

Makoto continued to look around and moved up the staircase. He noticed Haruka's room door was slightly opened and walked up to it. Slowly, he pushed the door to open wider and looked inside. His eyes went wide once he saw Haruka sitting on his bed shirtless with a mermaid costume tail, his wrists tied together with a blue ribbon and a blue bow on his head.

"H-Haru…!"

"Surprise. I'm your second gift."

"Y-You! So this is what Nagisa was so happy about!"

"Yeah…Do you like it?"

"Of course I do Haru! You look so cute!" Haruka blushed a bit and averted his gaze. He was embarrassed. Makoto walked over to Haruka, grabbed his chin and made Haruka turn his way. "Should I un-wrap my present?" Haruka looked down and nodded. Makoto moved his mouth down to the ribbon around Haruka's wrists and started to undo the knot with his teeth. Haruka watched flustered and in awe. Makoto slowly pulled the ribbon away and off of Haruka. He moved up to Haruka's face and sweetly kissed his lover.

"Haru…Are you sure you want us to do this? We can wait a little longer."

"I want this Mako…I want you."

Haruka gently placed his hand on Makoto's face and leaned in for another kiss. Their tender kiss slowly started to turn more passionate and heated. Makoto carefully pushed Haruka onto the bed and traced his hand down Haruka's exposed upper body. Haruka quivered with the feeling of Makoto's fingertips running down his chest and stomach. Haruka moved his hand underneath Makoto's shirt and traced it up Makoto's well toned stomach and chest.

Makoto gasped a little as he broke the kiss and took off his shirt. He moved back down and pecked gentle kisses and bites on Haruka's neck. Haruka bit his lower lip. He could hear his heart beating rapidly. Makoto unzipped the mermaid tail and slowly removed it from Haruka. He noticed Haruka's embarrassed face as he was left only in his boxers. "Haru…" Makoto gently kissed Haruka's stomach while he started to slide Haruka's only piece of clothing down his legs. Makoto made sure to prepare Haruka and wear protection like his mother advised. He had to thank Nagisa for leaving some on Haruka's bed.

The two kissed and touched one another as much as they could. They didn't hold back and accepted each other's bodies. Haruka felt overjoyed knowing that they had finally taken another step in their relationship. He'd cherish their first night until he was able to be in Makoto's arms again. From what Nagisa told him, he'd feel the extreme soreness and pain in the morning, but he decided he'd put up with it if it meant being with Makoto over and over again.

"H-Happy birthday Makoto…I love you," Haruka whispered.

"I love you too, Haru."

With their bodies and hearts connected, Makoto and Haruka forgot about everything and everyone else. Their hands found each other and clasped together while they submitted to their love in the dim room.
