For You...Anything

One step closer

"Oh shit!!"

"M-Makoto.. Wait.." Haruka stuttered. "I-I.. Was just..."

Drip...Drip...

Tears came down from Makoto's eyes. Slowly dropping down, flowing down from both eyes, caressing his cheeks, and made its way to the kitchen floor.

"M-Makoto, wait. Listen..." Haruka tried to explain as he helped Makoto up from his crouching position.

Makoto then looked up at Haruka, eyes glistening with tears, and then responded to Haruka's request, he stood up, looking down at his raven-haired friend.

"W-why?" Makoto asked with his emerald orbs stuck with Haruka's ocean blue ones.

"I-I...."

I couldn't just tell him that I was thinking about him right?... Haruka thought as he looked away, averting Makoto's gaze.

"Haru-chan? A-are you okay??" Makoto asked suddenly. Eyes full of worry and care.

"Drop t-the -c...." Haruka tried to say as he suddenly turned his head back.

"M-Mackerel!" He suddenly shouted as he turned off the stove and inspect the thing inside it. A lump of black nothingness.

Haruka was in a very big shock. Very. Very. Big. Shock.

Haruka suddenly flinched as he felt a big warm feeling on his right shoulder.

"I-I'm sorry Haru....." Makoto said. Hands still stuck on Haruka's shoulders.

Looking up to Makoto, Haruka blushed furiously, redness coming up till his ears. "H-hands off.." He managed while trying to look away from Makoto's eyes and trying to hide his embarrassment.

C-cute!! Makoto thought as he stares at Haruka and blushes furiously too. Hands still on his shoulder.

"H-Hands off!" Haruka said. Louder this time.

"S-Sorry!" Makoto said as he retracted his hand and shrugged off. "I-I shouldn't have been so worried." He smiled.

"But I don't know why..." He paused. "Haruka-Chan is all that's in my head." He said. Then flashed Haruka his popular dazzling smile.

Haruka blushed and looked away from Makoto.

I-I'm all in his m-mind??

"Ne, Haru-Chan. Let's go to school?" Makoto said. Smiling widely and stuck a hand out for Haruka.

"D-drop the -chan..." Haruka said. Blushing and looking away. But met to Makoto's response and to his own surprise. He stuck his hand out and grab hold of Makoto's big firm hand.

Zap... Zap...

During the contact, both of the young boys quickly took their hands back and shrugged. "S-sorry..." Makoto apologized.

"N-never mind.. It's not your fault..." Haruka murmured. Very obviously blushing now.

"L-let's go to school?"

...Time skip...

"G-gomen! Amakata-sensei! W-we didn't mean to be late!" Makoto said to his teacher who was scribbling on the whiteboard.

Haruka just shrugged and was pulled by Makoto for a bow. W-what was that for? Haruka thought but obediently bowed to Makoto's pull.

"No worries, Tachibana-kun, Nanase-kun. Go get your sea...

"EEHHH!!!! Nanase-kun and Tachibana-kun are holding hands!!!" A random girl shouted from behind.
