Makotox Haru

I don't really think he understood it. In a sense he's naïve, but I honestly couldn't care, I've known him since we were babies, me being quite a few months older than him, with me being born in November and him being born in the following June.

He's a strange one for sure, obsessed with water, swimming or otherwise, he just likes being submerged in it, and man has that made for some amusing moments, but that's just him, that's just Haruka; my Haru, or so I had liked to imagine him to be.

Every morning I had to go around to his house to fetch him, and more often than not he'd be sat in the bath, in his swimming trunks no less. Depending on his expression, I'd laugh and offer him my hand, or sit and listen to him. Everyone always says you can never tell what he's thinking, he doesn't talk much, and often has a stoic face, but I can always tell. I'll always be there for Haruka, even when he talked about him...when he talked about Matsuoka Rin.

I had a brief understanding that they were together as a couple a few months back, at one point it was Rin that fetched Haru in the mornings, they walked all the way to school together until it got to the crossroads where they went their different ways to their respective schools. And every morning I faithfully waited on that corner, day after day seeing the love of my life walking hand in hand with someone else; however, I stuck with it, I could never not be faithful to Haru, I love him and I always will. So every morning I met up with him, I walked the remainder of the path with him as he spoke utterances of his times with his lover. I listened with a smile, a pained smile, in reality I was sick with jealousy. So many questions I wished I had the courage to ask, 'Why did you choose Rin after he caused you so much pain in the past?', 'How do I get you to notice and acknowledge me?', 'How do I get you to return my feelings?'

When one day, as I waited on that very same corner I had been waiting on for at this stage, two months I heard a familiar pace of footsteps, but only one pair. I lifted my gaze up from the ground and turned around to see Rin, stood there on his own with a wicked smirk on his face, his sharp teeth on show for all to see. With a firm stomp, I stepped up to him, my figure being a few inches taller than his, I clutched the collar of his shirt in my hands, "Where is Haruka? What is with that maniacal expression, you better not have done something to him!" The purple haired male looked me straight in the eyes and laughed, voicing his answer with a spat, "Why don't you go and see for yourself, I won't be surprised if he's right where I left him. He's so dense anyway, I told him that you were the one that really loved him, that's obvious to anyone's eyes but his. I was just there for the fun of it and I made that fact quite clear to him, two months and I'm already bored of him, he wouldn't give me what I wanted, so I took it from him by force." Upon hearing those last six or so words, my concerned stare snapped into a deathly glare, my hands gripped his shirt so tight it could rip, I lifted him so his feet were a few inches off the floor, levelling his face to mine, "You disgusting piece of scum, you don't even deserve to breathe the same air as Haru!" With a snatch of a turn, I swung around throwing Rin's body against the wire fencing which bordered the pathway before sprinting off towards Haruka's home.

After ten minutes of none-stop running, I had arrived at his house, the doors having been left open, I burst inside, poking my head around the corner to every room, only wishing that he wasn't in the room in which I dreaded him being in after hearing Matsuoka's proclamation. Being heavily out of breath, I was left out of options, I nervously turned the corner of the hall to step into his bedroom. My eyes widened at the sight, "Oh Haru..." I spoke in a saddened, sympathetic tone. In front of me was the man I loved, his shirt half torn off him with scratches down his chest, his trousers around his ankles as he quickly pulled his boxers back up to cover himself as he saw me. Tears streamed down his face, "Makoto...he...he..." At that moment I buried my rage and hatred towards Rin deep down, my only concern being wanting to comfort the helpless man that lay sprawled across his bed, I dashed across the room, gently grabbing his wrist and pulling him to sit upright, wrapping my arm around him to rub a hand up his back, I spoke into his ear in a hushed whisper, "Shush Haru, it's alright now, you don't need to tell me what happened, I saw him and from what he said I can guess what happened to you, you don't have to explain. Don't worry, he won't be able to get near you ever again, mark my words." I held him in a tight embrace, cradling him and speaking comforting words to him for hours. The world around me seemed to disappear in that moment on that day, the only thing that mattered to me was Nanase Haruka.

"I love you Haru..." They had finally slipped out, those three words which I had held back for all those months. He stayed positioned exactly where he was, it was no surprise, from the torment and torture Rin had put him through, he already knew this fact; the only difference being, he lifted his hands up, placing them on my back to greet my prolonged embrace.

And that's how our story truly began. Five years later and the pain of that day still haunts the both of us in the backs of our minds. But it was almost as if it was destined to happen, it was the event that strengthened our friendship to new heights, to more than friendship. It brought to light all of my feelings that I had hidden, it made him realise that I had been there the whole time, and I was never going to leave. Me and Haru, we are soulmates.
