For You...Anything

Friends?

"Ergh!.." Makoto moaned as he got up from the bed. He looked at the clock beside him.

7:23

Makoto groaned as he dragged himself out of his cozy bed. Readying himself for school. He drifted to the bathroom and quickly took off his clothes, and opened the shower head.

"I'm going to go fetch Haruka later!" Makoto thought as warm water hits his face with a satisfying hiss. "Will Haruka be up later? Is he still in bed? Is he taking a shower now like me?" Makoto thought. "Stop it Makoto! Stop acting weird!" He chided himself. "He's probably freaked out by me anyways..." Makoto thought with a small sigh escaping his lips as he turned off the shower and went to dress on his school clothes.

As Makoto finished dressing himself. He slowly walked down the stairs, careful not to wake up the rest of the Tachibanas. He went to the kitchen, helped himself with some leftovers from last night for breakfast. And made some dry noodles for himself for lunch at school later.

7:44

"Oh shit!! I'm late... I still need to go get Haruka.." Makoto thought and quickly put all his things in his bag and dashed out of the Tachibana Household, straight to Haruka's house.

"Haruka! Haruka!" Makoto shouted as he furiously knocked on the door of Haruka's house. It was a plain, simple looking house from the outside. Nothing special.

"Weird...his shoes are still out here..." Makoto thought as he sniffed the air. "What..? What's that smell?" Makoto pondered, suddenly he perked up, starting to sweat.

"S-smoke..?" Makoto panicked as then he saw smoke coming out from a window on the side of this plain house. "H-Haruka!" Makoto suddenly tensed and shouted, "Haruka! Haruka!", loud enough to wake everyone up. Makoto paced around the front door and decided to go to the back to look for an entrance. He walked behind and found a door, unlocked. He quickly slides the door, ran in.

"Haruka!! Haruka!! Are you ok?!" Makoto ran all over the house and located the place where the smoke is coming out. He went to the stove, covering his nose. And went to inspect the thing that was producing the smoke. He quickly turned the fire off and poked that thing.

"M-Mackerel??" Makoto thought as he threw the thing into the rubbish bin, and went to find Haruka. He opened every door in the house. Peeking inside but still no signs of Haruka. But one door was left... The bathroom. Makoto took a deep breath and knocked on the bathroom door. "Haruka! Haruka-Chan! Are you in there?"

No reply

"Haruka-Chan! I'm coming in!" Makoto said as he slides the door open with his eyes closed. "Haruka-Chan? Is that you?" He said as he heard water rustling in the tub.

Makoto slowly removed his hands from his eyes and started to look around. He saw Haruka, half naked, sitting on the side of the tub.

"His muscles... So beautiful..." Makoto thought as he stared at Haruka. "Makoto! Snap out of it!" He chided himself as he shook his head slightly.

Makoto then put out a hand, he doesn't know why, but his body seems to be having a mind of their own. His mouth too...

"Ohaiyo, Haruka-Chan." Makoto said as he flashed Haruka his trademark smile.

Haruka blushed a little bit and took Makoto's hand as he made his way out of the tub. "D-drop the -chan." Haruka managed as he climbs out from his tub.

Makoto just smiled at him, then seemed to notice something. "Eh? Haruka? You're wearing your swim trunks in a shower?" He asked, eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"I do that a lot." Haruka replied with his monotonous voice, looking away, while drying himself and putting some clothes on.

After he finished dressing, he went out of the bathroom, followed by Makoto, and went to the kitchen. Suddenly, Haruka turned back and stared at Makoto."What have you done to my Mackerel.." He said, full of frustration and hate.

"I-it was burning up.. A-and smoke was coming out from it.. So I..." Makoto defended as he pointed to the rubbish bin.

Haruka then sighed and put up an apron, took the frying pan and proceeded to take the mackerel from the fridge and begun cooking it.

"Haruka?!? What are you doing?!" Makoto exclaimed.

"Cooking mackerel.." Haruka replied bluntly.

Makoto then pulled Haruka's hand, wanting to drag him out of the kitchen.

"Forget the mackerel, we have school today!" Makoto screamed.

"But I haven't have breakfast yet..." Haruka again replied bluntly, not wanting to leave the stove.

Makoto then realized that he couldn't do a thing to him. He let go of Haruka's hand and sighed while he ruffled his hair with his hand.

"I'll wait for you outside then..." Makoto said and went out.

"Haruka! What in the world are you thinking! Why didn't you get mad at him when he threw away your mackerel!!" Haruka cursed himself silently.

"But he's so cute... And he's so friendly... It's the first time that we had talked to someone... So care freely..." The other side of Haruka's conscious argued.

"But he ruined your mackerel..." The other side whined.

"Doesn't matter!" The conscious side argued.

"MACKEREL!!!!" The other side argued again.

"Urgh!!!" Haruka grunted loudly as he was frying his mackerel, trying to calm himself down and stopping himself from blushing so hard.

"Haruka-Chan??!" Makoto shouted from outside. "Are you ok?"

"So caring... Such a smoothing voice..." The inside Haruka thought. "So nice..."

"OH SHUT UP!!" Haruka shouted loudly.

"Ha-haruka??"

Makoto stood there. By the door, eyes on the verge of tears. Staring at Haruka.

"Oh shit!!"
