Makoto placed her feet in a way to stand properly to look at the person's face, it was Yamamoto. (HAH.)

"Y-Yamamoto-san?" Makoto stammered out, he smiled back at her. "The one and only."

Makoto blinked a few times before a wave of redness came over her face when she realized his arms were still wrapped around her waist. She quickly slipped away before smiling and saying, "Thank you, Yamamoto-san."

"Yamamoto is just fine," he smirked, he eyed her up and down before smiling again. "You're cute, how didn't anyone see this before?" he grabbed her wrist, using his other hand to lift her chin up.

Makoto's face flushed pink again with embarrassment, she croaked, "Um, thanks?"

"Let's go on a date, you don't have any plans." he says smiling, his smile pauses and so does his words. His eyes trail up from her body to her face, "You don't have any plans at all, right?" he repeats his words.

Makoto shook her head hesitantly, he smiled at her response. He liked seeing her nervous, but Makoto felt like punching him there from how queasy she felt.

Yamamoto was about to take her away when somebody suddenly pulled her back. I don't think she said yes to anything, Yamamoto-san." a familiar voice (guess who mfs) says.

Makoto turns her head to look at the purple haired male, Rui turned to her. He was smiling, it made her heart flutter. But she denied it, she was just really happy to see someone stick up for her. Right?

Makoto smiled and said, "Well, um... I do need to get home around 5pm." trying to break the tension within them.

Yamamoto furrowed his brows together at Rui, while Rui smiled sweetly as a response.

"I'll take you home." Yamamoto offered, smiling oh so innocently. Rui chimed in, "We live close to eachother, I'm sure we'll be fine." he said before placing his hand on Makoto's shoulder.

"What are you? Why are you so defensive about her?" Yamamoto grumbles. Rui says in a truthful tone, "I'm not being defensive or anything, am I? I offered to take her home since we live near eachother."

Makoto felt awkward, just blatant awkward. What was she even supposed to do? It didn't seem like they were arguing.

"Um, I'll just go by myself.. I'm fine." Makoto says, smiling. Rui looked at her then glanced at Yamamoto, "I'm heading home too."

Makoto waved bye to Yamamoto, he couldn't protest or anything because he'd end up saying... words. He didn't want to make an impression on Makoto.

On the walk back to her house, it was silent but peaceful. It wasn't awkward. Rui broke the silence by saying, "I'm sorry, that was kinda selfish. Wasn't it?" He says while smiling softly.

"Selfish? Um, no.." she looks at him confused, "Why?" He paused and then said, "I sort of took you away from Yamamoto."

"Um, well." she said, she thought for a second, "I don't mind it.. I guess. You kinda saved me since I did have plans."

"..You had plans?" Rui questions, sounding a bit down than before. He was planning to invite her to one of the shows but he took it back, seeing that she was busy.

"Yeah," Makoto smiles, stopping in front of her house. She looks at him and continues, "I was gonna see one of your shows, Nene told me about it."

Rui's eyes slightly widened, he felt happy. He wasn't sure what type of happy, his chest and face felt warm. He felt all giddy and a smile crept onto his face.

He almost stumbled his words, he managed to get out "Thanks." When did he feel this nervous ever before?

He had only gotten close to her for a few months and he feels like he's know Makoto for ages, as if he could tell her everything.

Rui looked at his hands, they felt cold but his chest felt warm. Was he sick? He couldn't process the emotions he was feeling. He glanced up at Makoto, staring at every intricate detail she was blessed with.

A snowflake fell on her hair, then several more came. It slowly started to snow, it was the first day of snow in Shibuya this year.

Rui couldn't care less about that, he stared at her.

Her silky long brown hair, her shining pink eyes, her.. silly, stupid, kind smile that just kept beaming his way, she smiled at the snowfall.

Was this love he was feeling?
