Of all the things you had expected Haruka to seriously say one of these days, the phrase 'Operation Vampire' had never once crossed your mind. You were quite close to chuckling until you saw his eyes trained on you, with a serious expression.

"...You aren't joking?" Your voice was louder than intended and the hint of laughter hadn't vanished from your tone.

Makoto gave Haru another funny look, before turning to you and heaving a large sigh. He crouched beside you both and gazed down at the paper that had hints of pool water drizzled in certain places. "I'm afraid that he isn't," Makoto smiled worriedly at you.

Haru, who had been ignoring both of you, has his hands on his chin as he thought quizzically. "Have either of you signed up for an activity for this years Cultural Festival yet?"

"I have, I signed up for the clean up crew again. They always need help," Makoto was trying to explain but Haru interrupted him. "Change it."

"Haru it isn't that simpl-"

"How about you Y/N?"

"I was suppose to sign up this morning but I was sent out to find Makoto. But I found you and Nagisa instead." Your eyes scanned Haru's in order to find any hints of him possibly backing down from this ridiculous idea he had, but instead, he turned his gaze away.

"Both of you join the Haunted House committee." He said sternly again, as he turned back to the paper. He had laid each doll at different points of the large school gum, which is where the Haunted House would be taking place that year. "I think we could get Rei and Nagisa back together with this method. Spook the feelings out of them."

"Spook the feelings out of them." You repeated his words in hopes that Haruka would hear himself, and realize how small of a chance this entire scenario would actually play out in his favor, but he continued ranting.

"Makoto, you need to obtain Nagisa and lead him to where I tell you. I'll get Rei. Y/N," his voice lowered at the mention of your name, and he promptly looked you dead in the eye before continuing, "your only objection is to get them to go in the Haunted House. Preferably at the same time."

He nudged your thigh with his finger, and you were sure that if Haruka wasn't always wearing that stoic expression that caused his sapphire eyes to gleamer, he would be offering you a small smile. "It isn't your fault this happened. But do you think you can handle your task? Makoto and I will handle the rest."

Vividly, you thought back to how long Nagisa cried and how his usually whimsical aura was now one of an unspoken depression. Even Rei, showed obvious signs of sadness and confusion, though he had been the one to end the relationship.

You inhaled the sharp, cold air surrounding you before whipping out you pinky finger and facing Haru, seriously. "Promise me that it will be fine, then."

Without a moment's hesitation, Haru's finger was entangled with yours as he accepted the obscure promise. "This isn't something could ever possibly guarantee but I'd make the impossible happen for you."
