Haruka felt bad for not telling Makoto about meeting up with Rin. He knew that the olive haired male wouldn't like him being around Rin after forcing a kiss on him. But something in Haruka thought it was only fair to give Rin another chance. Makoto had given Kisumi a chance, so why couldn't Haruka do the same with Rin? Haruka looked down at his phone with a sad expression. He didn't notice when Rin had returned to their table with their food until Rin put Haruka's cold soda in front of his face.
"You look really gloomy. What's wrong?" Rin asked as he sat down across from Haruka.
"I was just thinking about something."
"Let me guess, Makoto?"
Haruka stayed silent but it was obvious enough that Rin was right. Rin kept his eyes on Haruka for a moment before he sighed and started to reach for his fries. "I don't see what you have to be so upset about. He's just a train ride away. If you really want to see him then go."
"I can't do that. Makoto needs to focus on his studies."
"Then don't be upset."
Haruka nodded his head. He couldn't deny that Rin was right again. He had to be more optimistic and not worry over nothing. He'd tell Makoto later that he met up with Rin and wants to renew their friendship. Makoto would understand, he was that kind of person. Haruka couldn't help but smile a little as he took a sip of his drink. It didn't go unnoticed. Rin hated how Makoto could easily put a smile on Haruka's face. Something had to be done.

"Makoto, hurry up!"
Kisumi was already dressed up and ready to head to the party. Makoto, on the other hand, was still trying to decide what to wear. Sometimes Kisumi wondered how the guy could even be self-conscious about his body. Makoto was gorgeous from head to toe. How he couldn't see that was beyond Kisumi's understanding.
"Sorry Kisumi. I'll just put on this shirt and these jeans and call it a day."
"Makoto, you know whatever you put on looks good on you. You can wear a toga and you'd still look amazing."
Makoto blushed a little. "Thanks Kisumi. Haru scolds me too."
There Makoto went again mentioning Haru. Kisumi wished he could just shut him up by kissing him and never letting him go. But Kisumi kept his self control and decided it wasn't the right time to make a move.
"Hurry and get dressed. The sooner we get there then the sooner we can get back."
"Right! Ah…Kisumi, do you mind turning around while I change?"
"I've already seen you in only your boxers. What's with the sudden shyness?"
"Ah, well, the thing is…" Makoto really didn't want to tell Kisumi that Haruka had left some visible marks on his body after the passionate first time they had on his birthday. Kisumi noticed the blush on Makoto's face and automatically started to figure out why Makoto was so reluctant to change in front of him. It pissed him off even more.
"Fine, I'll wait for you in the hallway. Don't take too long."
"Thanks."
Kisumi walked out of the room and leaned against the closed door. Why did Makoto have to fall in love with Haruka? He was everything Kisumi wanted in a partner. Kisumi couldn't remember a time he wanted someone so much. Kisumi sighed and took out his phone. He decided to text Rin and see if there was any progress with Haruka. There had to be a slight chance for him to remove Haruka out of the picture and make Makoto his own. He'd keep on hoping for that chance to come.

"Hey Rei-chan, can I come over your place tonight?" Nagisa asked as he snuggled against his boyfriend's arm. The two were walking towards the train station after spending the day together. Rei thought it would be nice to have a date with the blonde since Nagisa always complained that they didn't go out as much as they should.
"You can't just go to my place without telling you parents Nagisa."
"But I already told them! They said it was fine!"
"Eh?! You asked them before even asking me?!"
"What's that supposed to mean Rei-chan? I already knew you'd say I could stay with you tonight. You do want me to come over, right?"
Rei adjusted his glasses and looked to the side. "Of course I love it when you come over, but next time ask me before you ask your parents. That way I'll know if I should clean up or buy any snacks for your visit."
"Aww Rei-chan, you don't need to worry about that! You're one hundred times neater then me and I don't need snacks if I have you."
Rei couldn't help but blush at those words. Nagisa was always so straightforward with his feelings; Rei didn't know how his heart could take it. The two continued to walk until they finally made it to the train station. Rei noticed Haruka standing further ahead with Rin. They looked to be having a pleasant conversation.
"Haruka-senpai…?"
"Oh hey! It is Haru-chan! Eh? What is he doing with RinRin?" Nagisa said as he looked at the red haired male laugh.
"They probably came to a resolution and mended their friendship," Rei replied.
"I don't think it would be that easy. When RinRin wants something, he won't give up so easily. Do you think he's trying to win Haru-chan over while Makoto is away?!"
"We shouldn't run to conclusions Nagisa. Besides, we both know how much Haruka-senpai loves Makoto-senpai. It'll be okay."
Nagisa didn't think the same way. He kept his eyes on Rin and Haruka and didn't like how Rin had his hand on Haruka's shoulder. There was something that told him that Rin was up to something.
Meanwhile Rin and Haruka hadn't noticed Rei and Nagisa and continued talking about the race they had earlier at the rec center. Haruka had won by a few seconds, but Rin didn't feel angry about it like he usually would. He was just happy to be alone with Haruka. Now they were both going to take the train and then head their separate ways for the night. If only Haruka would go over Rin's place. He'd show him what he was missing by wasting his time with Makoto.
"So, are you planning on doing anything tomorrow Haru?" Rin asked as the train arrived and they stepped inside.
"I'm going to meet up with Rei and Nagisa."
"Ah, okay. Then we can just hang out again some other time."
"Okay," Haruka replied as they sat next to each other.
"You know Haruka, I give you credit for being so trusting. I'd be a little scared knowing that my boyfriend was away at college where anything could happen."
"What are you implying?" Haruka asked a little annoyed. He thought Rin was finally going to let go of trying to steal him away from Makoto. It just wasn't happening.
"Don't take it the wrong way. I've just heard that a lot of college students go to parties and hook up. I know Makoto isn't the type, but knowing Kisumi, he might try to persuade Makoto into going to stuff like that. And you never know what can happen at those parties."
Haruka never thought about the possibility. Kisumi definitely was more out-going and adventurous then Makoto. What if something happened to Makoto? What if someone poured something in his drink, he passed out and then woke up the next morning finding out he had a one night stand with someone? No, Haruka didn't want to even think about it. Haruka took out his phone and saw that there were no new messages from Makoto. It was strange since Makoto always texted Haruka for the smallest things. Haruka wasn't one to really initiate the conversation, but he thought he'd check on his boyfriend and make sure everything was okay.
Haruka: Makoto, are you there?
Kisumi looked down at the new message from Haruka and glared at it. He had stolen Makoto's phone when he was in the shower and put it on silent. He didn't want Haruka to ruin his night with Makoto. The door to the dorm opened which made Kisumi quickly put the phone into his jean pocket. Makoto walked out and smiled at him.
"Sorry I took so long. I was trying to look for my phone but I can't find it anywhere."
"We can look for it when we get back," Kisumi replied with a smile.
"Thanks Kisumi."
"You look really hot Makoto. Make sure to stick by my side just to stay safe."
Makoto blushed and smiled nervously as he locked the door to their dorm. The two started to walk down the hallway and talked about who they might see at the party. Inwardly Kisumi was celebrating that his plan was going well so far. In a matter of hours, Haruka would no longer be in Makoto's mind.
Haruka continued to look down at his phone, waiting for a reply but it never came. Rin gently placed his hand over Haruka's causing the raven-haired male to look up at him. "This is my stop Haru. I'll talk to you later. Also, don't look so bummed, I'm sure Makoto is just busy at the moment. He'll reply soon you'll see."
Haruka nodded as Rin got up and waved at him before he stepped off the train. Haruka looked back down at his phone still hoping for a reply.
Makoto…Where are you…?
