Half a soul

3) kiss me?

It's been a month since we stated dating. After that kiss together with Makoto I haven't thought about anything else, more like it's been the only thing on my mind. We decided to start dating back then but I feel like something is strange. We hang out a lot and eat together at the roof every day. But we haven't kissed since that time...
I walked down to stairs to meet up with Makoto. He smiled and took my hand.
"Wh- what are u doing Makoto!"
Makoto looked at my face and smiled widely.
"Hahaha you're beet red Haru chan! ♡"
"What!? N-no I'm not!"
"Yeees u are, so adorable!!"
"Ngh-"
I looked away and tried to cover my face with the one free hand I had to hide my blushing face.
Geez, always so bold. You're gonna kill me Makoto.
I could feel Makoto gazing towards me. His face was slowly approaching mine.
Is he gonna kiss me?!
He reached out his hand and grabbed my head.
Huh?
"You had something in your hair sorry, were you surprised?"
Wait what?!
"No it's ok."
Oh shit what was that, I totally got the wrong idea.
"..."
Both of suddenly stopped talking. And we just kept walking for a while. Then suddenly, Makoto let go of my hand real fast. I quickly realized a classmate was approaching us.
Ah! For a second I forgot we were in public.
My face was burning up. I told Makoto to walk without me cause I needed to go to the bathroom.
Running in full speed I reached the bathroom real quick.
I stepped in front of the mirror, my face was indeed really red. I washed my face quickly and tried to finish before anyone had the chance to walk in.
"Am I blushing this much because of this guy?"
*sound of stall door opening*
Huh? I wasn't alone!
"Haruuuuuuu chan!!~"
"Eh?"
"ITS ME NAGISA!"
Nagisa was my classmate from elementary school, he was always a loud and clingy guy.
Nagisa ran towards me and of course hugged me.
"I've missed you Haru chan"
Before I could react I heard the bathroom door opening behind me.
"Haru chan?"
Makoto opened the door.
"Makoto? What are you doing here I thought I told you to go without me?"
He seemed kinda shocked and then I realized Nagisa still hugging me tightly.
"Woah- Nagisa let go-"
Before I could get him off me Makoto had already walked away.
What was that?
I got myself free and walked back to the classroom.
My head started hurting all of a sudden. Was it because I got up to quickly? I leaned to the wall and took a deep breath.
*bell rings*
"Oh shit I gotta hurry!"
I excused myself and quietly sat down on my seat.
This class is boring-
I felt strangely sluggish so I leaned down on my bench.
Oh no! I'm gonna fall asleep like this.
I tried to rize up.
"Teache-"
But my legs felt so weak, I couldn't keep my balance and fell.
"Haru?!"

-1 day later-
Oww my head hurts so much.
I woke up and noticed Makoto fast asleep on the bed I was laying on.
Wait, why am I in Makoto's room?!
I noticed a cold pack on my forehead and that I was wearing a slightly too large pijamas.
"Oh my, you're awake already Haru chan?"
Makotos mom walked into the room with a pot of rice porridge.
She put the pot down.
"Eat this when you feel hungry."
She told me with a gentle smile.
Then she looked at Makoto and back at me.
"He must have stayed up all night worrying, even though I told him to sleep on the futon I prepared for him"
I just now noticed Makoto tightly squeezing my hand.
Did he fall asleep like that?
"Pfft"
I stared laughing quietly.
Makotos mom giggled.
"I'm glad you're feeling better Haru chan, you were sweating quite a lot yesterday and Makoto were so worried seeing you in such pain. He was so panicked when he saw you collapse and your parents weren't home so he brought you here."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'm sure he'll be glad to see you fine when he wakes up"
I made Makoto worried?
"I'm sorry..."
Makoto's mom walked away and closed the door.
He's holding my hand again just like yesterday.
"I really do love you."
Makoto suddenly woke up.
His eyes lit up like a child seeing candy.
"WOAH- M-MAKOTO!"
He hugged me really fast.
"M-ME TOO HARU CHAN!"
*sniffing sounds*
"EH!? Makoto are you crying?"
"Yeah because I thought Haru chan was annoyed with me again like before, and you just had to get a fever, and collapse before I had the chance to apologize"
"Apologize? What are you talking about?"
"What I'm taking about? I thought you thought I was annoying for always holding your hand in public and teasing you, isn't that why you ran away when our classmate approached almost saw us. And more than that you hugged another guy... Maybe I really am not good enough. Are you sure you really love me?!"
What!
"What are you talking about Makoto! I never felt bothered by you holding my hand, when you do it my heart starts beating really hard and I feel so incredibly happy, also I didn't hug Nagisa. He did it on his own, there's no other guy I'd want to hug more than you! You are the best boyfriend someone could ever ask for and I wish you would never speak badly of yourself like that cause you are amazing!"
As I was talking tears started streaming down my face. Makoto started crying as well.
He hugged me once again.
"Thanks Haru chan, I love you so much. I'm so so sorry for misunderstanding everything!"
"I- Me too I love you more than anyone else!"
As Makoto wiped his tears I looked at his face. Last time he kissed me but I wanna kiss him so bad right now...
"Makoto can you c-close your eyes?"
"Huh? Yes why?"
He closed his eyes and I kissed him and closed my eyes as well.
I could feel his wet eyelashes brushing my face and he kissed me back.
When I let go and opened my eyes Makoto was blushing like crazy.
"Makoto what's with that face?!"
"I-I could ask you the same thing, your cheeks are as red as Apples."
I hid my face in the pillow on the bed and looked back at Makoto after calming down.
"Of course I'm blushing, I just wanted to kiss you so bad just now"
He started crying yet again.
"Actually me too, I love you Haru chan. Can you kiss me again?"
"A- a - again?!"
I nervously closed my eyes and put my lips onto his yet again.
"Are you satisfied now?"
I said and looked the other way
"No way!"
"What?!"
"If it's about Haru chan I'll never be satisfied!"
Too shocked for words I buried my face in the pillow yet again and Makoto hugged me and gave me another kiss...

The next day Makoto got a fever....
