high school sweethearts- naegami

chapter 6

"Hey, get out of bed!! Togami has been calling you for hours!! Is he your boyfriend or something?!"

"H-Huh?!" Makoto had been startled awake by his sister's voice, and he snatched his phone from her to see about 15 missed calls from Byakuya. o-okay, this has gotta be serious..
He cleared his throat nervously before answering.

"Togami-kun?" Makoto's soft, slightly nervous still sounded sleepy making the taller boy's face heat up a little.

"..Naegi. You didn't answer my calls at first."

"I'm sorry, I was asleep.."

"At this time?!"

"..Togami-kun, it's 7am."

"Christ..anyway, I need you to be useful for once and come over to my house."

"Why?"

"Don't question me, Naegi, just do it." Togami was desperate at this point.

"..okay then. Later!" he declined the call, his heart pounding.

"So, where are you off to?" Komaru asked innocently as she saw Makoto taking out clothes and hurriedly trying them on.

"None of your business!"

"But it is! I'm your sister, dummy!"

"..fine. I'm going to Togami-kun's house." he said quietly after a few minutes, his hands shaking as he grabbed his things.

"?! Well, if..if you see Toko, tell her to come back here, okay?" Her voice was softer now, and a pink blush had appeared on her cheeks.

"Simp."

"Hey, I'm not a simp!! You're the one who brushed your teeth 3 times before coming out the bathroom!"

"I-i didn't!!"

"At least you didn't wet the bed again, like in 5th gra-"

The door slammed shut, and makoto ran down to byakuya's house, red faced and embarrassed, but also wondering what the taller could possibly want him for.

As he walked down the increasingly neat and fancy paths, his nerves only greatened too. And by the time Makoto was up to the door 5 times bigger than his kitchen, he felt as if his heart could beat out of its chest.

come on..it's easy, right? knock on the door. what's the worst that could happen?

He took a deep breath, tried to clear his brain from the fog and knocked, keeping his head up. A servant answered almost immediately, startling him a little.

"You are Naegi, correct?"

"..I..uh, yeah, I am!"

"Come in, sir. Mr. Togami has been awaiting your arrival."

"?" He blushed from this, but still went inside, fuck, his house was so fucking big and expensive. Naegi felt like a small and unimportant mouse compared to the golden cat that was Togami. Huh, rather fitting, isn't it? Cats like mice. Cats pin down mice and eat them..

"Naegi? Please follow me, Mr. Togami is waiting for you."

"?!" He was snapped out of his lewd thoughts and went red, quickly following the servant. Corridors and corridors, polished marble staircases and portraits that all had blue eyes and blonde hair. hm, all heterosexual couples, that's strange..

After what seemed like forever walking, Makoto's heart started palpitating again. The tall, golden door could only make Makoto think he was in front of his crush's room.

"Right this way, sir." The servant gently guided him into the room..and shut the door.

?! Why did they leave me?! FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK-

"? Naegi?"

"?!" Jeez, stop pulling Makoto out his trances, you'll scare him to death. "T-togami-kun??" His eyes registered the tall- somewhat nervous?- boy in front of him, and he immediately felt the need to change his whole appearance. frick, why does he always look so pretty..

"..you came. You actually came- I mean!" Byakuya seemed to be a little tense, that was strange. "I mean..of course you came. I wouldn't expect a commoner like you to deny the offer of coming to my estate."

"Of course I did, I'm your friend after all!" He managed to smile at him, a calm and comforting smile. For some reason, that only made Byakuya's heart beat faster.

"..and that too, I suppose."

"Why did you want me to come here?..Is something wrong? You seem a little nervous."

"Nervous?! How dare.." Togami's words faltered. He liked how observant Makoto could be sometimes, but he also hated it occasionally. He couldn't be seen as weak, not at all. "..well, I would like to discuss something important with you. Sit down."

"..?" Makoto looked for a place to sit, and decided to opt for the bed, making Byakuya's
face go a rare shade of pink as he awkwardly sat next to him.

"What is it, Togami-kun? It seems pretty serious-"

"It is."

"You can tell me anything."

"..I'm gay."
