Feelings suck -naegami-

Chapter 21

Makotos POV:

Days passed by in a blink of an eye. And call Makoto lovestruck but he texted Togami every single day. Simple messages. Asking if he's doing okay, when should he come to the beach house, if he wants to come over. (The latter instigated a quick no)

Most of the time Togami would respond shortly but around nighttime, the two would talk for hours over the phone. Multiple times, his mom would come into his room, annoyed because his talking woke her up.

"Makoto I will take that phone away from you" she rubs her eyes.

He smiles nervously, "Sorry" he whispers before turning back to the phone where Togami was snickering. "I will hang up on you shut u-"

A week into summer break, Makoto snuggled into some blankets as he and Togami talk about random things. It was 11 pm and man was he tired but it was worth it to see his face. Since he couldn't call during the day, Makoto decided to sacrifice his already messed up sleep schedule! You can't screw up what's already screwed up. He tries not to let his hazy mind think about him and how nice his voice is and-

God this is awful.

"-you sure your dad won't notice me coming?"

Togami just scoffed, "it'll be fine. Besides, he's leaving a day before I am due to head to one of my beach houses"

Makoto gave a thumbs up, "great! My parents said yes and told me to tell you to make sure I don't die" he kicks his feet.

Togami stares with a bored look, "I could put you in a confinement cell and you'd still end up hurt"

"Oh shut up"
______________

Clothes folded and put into a backpack, toothbrush, toothpaste, his plushie, phone, etc....yeah seems like he has everything,

He hears a knock and he turns his head, seeing Komaru leaning against his bedroom doorway with a smirk, "sooo. You and blondie. In his beach house. Sounds like a good place to make your move"

He picks up his backpack while also shooting her a glare, "he's going to reject me y'know" He places his plushie in his bag and zips up. Bye, bye, Barry. Don't suffocate.

She walks over, flopping onto his bed, "what makes you say that?" she looks up at him.

"Have you seen him?" Makoto looked down at her. "He's like...the most emotionally unavailable person ever!" He waves his hands around in frustration. Komaru just scoffs, more frustration boiling in Makoto.

"He literally only hangs out with you man. It's fine! Just confess" she says.

"It's been 2 months"

she sits up, blowing hair away from her face, "And? Have you ever heard of love at first sight?" She wiggles her eyebrows and smirks. Which is rich coming from her considering she whines and complains how much she loves Fukawa.

As if Togami would go through that. But he just rolls his eyes and punches her arm.

"You have everything? Toothbrush, toothpaste, your underwear?" Makotos mom gripped his shoulders intensely as him and his family stood on our porch.

Makoto grimaces, "yes, yes. Mom you're squeezing me" he glanced back at the sleek car parked in front of our house. Togami stood near it with crossed arms, looking at the family with a bitter look. Yeah he'll have to ask about that later.
