For You...Anything

Thanks

"Matsuoka."

"Nanase."

"What the f*ck are you doing here." Haruka asked. Glaring daggers at Rin.

"HARU! Watch your language!" Makoto yelled from behind. Trying to hold Haruka back from punching the red-haired teen.

"Eh?" Rin exclaimed as he looked at Makoto sarcastically. "Is that your new boy-toy?" He said then looked at Haru. Smiling at Haru. Evilly. Of course.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

... ...

"Ne Haru? You okay?"

"Y-yes..."

There was an awkward silence between the two boys. The coldness of the air made both of them shiver.

"Makoto."

"Hmm?"

"Sorry..."

That blurted out of Haru. In Haru's memory. He never said sorry. Never to anyone.

"Now now... It's okay. I'm fine.." Makoto said. A little surprised by Haru's sudden emotion flow.

"Ne, Haru?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask something?"

"... Yes?"

"What happened between the two of you?"

... ...

*Bam!*

The red-haired fell down in shock of the ravenette's sudden punch.

"As feisty as ever eh Haru?" Rin said. Wiped his mouth. Which was attainted with blood. And returned the punch.

Haru tumbled over on Makoto.

"Hey! There's no need for fighting!" Makoto yelled. As he walked between the two, hands trying to separate the both of them.

"F*ck off." Rin gritted his teeth with glaring at the tall blond.

Makoto didn't oblige, only trying to stop Haru on the other side from pouncing.

"I SAID F*CK OFF!" Rin shouted at Makoto's ear.

Makoto continued to ignore Rin. But now both hands on Haru. Who's eyes were not stormy blue.

"ERGH!" Rin screamed as he punched Makoto in the guts.

"Oww!" Makoto yelled in pain as he clutched his tummy.

"STOP!!" Haru yelled as he laid a blow on Rin's face.

Rin stumbled back a few steps and faced Haru, glared at him and gave his toothy grin.

"You haven't changed yet huh Haru?" Rin chuckled as he held his nearly broken jaw. "Well, I'm off." He said as he turned his back on them. "Sousuke is waiting for me." He turned back as he grinned at Haru.

"Y-you..." Haru stuttered as he sat down. Eyes staring at Rin with disbelief. "W-why?"

"Haru!" Makoto shouted as he helped Haru up from the sandy floor.

"YOU! GO AWAY! STAY AWAY FROM HIM! OR ELSE!" Makoto yelled at Rin. Angrily. He stood up, stared at Rin hard.

"Hmph. Whatever. I have a date anyways." Rin said as he rolled his eyes. Ignoring the threat. "But you better take care of him boy-toy. He might jump a cliff because of me." He said to Makoto and smirked.

"GO.AWAY!" Makoto yelled at him. Louder now. More threatening. He pushed Rin to a tree and cornered him. "NEVER. SHOW. UP. AGAIN!" He stressed every syllable.

Rin was terrified of the giant. Considering he was a head taller than him.

"LEAVE!" Makoto yelled again.

Rin scurried away and didn't turn back. At all.

Haru was still sitting there. Can't believe of what he just heard. Makoto quickly came by his side. Trying his best to help Haru.

"Haru-Chan. Haru-Chan. You okay?" Makoto asked Haru. Who was still in shock. "Get up first." He said as he helped the ravenette up.

"Let's walk you home okay?"

... ...

"It started when we were in middle school..." Haru said as he stuttered for a while and stopped.

Haru shook his head wildly and banged his head with his hands. Silent tears dropped down from his blue orbs.

"H-Haru! What's wrong?" Makoto said. Shocked to see what had just happened.

"I-I'm sorry. Makoto. I can't bring myself to remember anymore.." Haru said as he clutched his chest. He looked at Makoto with watery eyes. "I-it hurts.. It hurts so badly."

Makoto was shocked. He didn't now what to do. He then knelt down beside him and stayed there for a while for Haru to cool down.

"Ne Haru. Let's bring you home?" Makoto said as he helped Haru up and slowly helped him climb the stairs to his house.

As they reached the front door, Haru told Makoto to go in.

"Haru? Where's your parents?"

"I live alone."

Shocked. Makoto hurriedly apologized and helped Haru to the couch. As he sat beside him.

"Makoto." Haru suddenly blurt out. Now looking at Makoto with serious eyes.

"Yes..?"

"Why are you being so nice to me..?"

Makoto was shocked. Again. He quickly waved his hands in protest.

"Ne Haru. I-I'm not doing this for a purpose. I-I..." Makoto faltered.

"Why Makoto. Despite all the trouble I had given you?"

"Because... I want to be your friend."

No need for words. That's enough for Haru. He punched at Makoto and he hugged him. Without any hesitation.

Makoto was shocked at first but then a smile came across his face. He returned the hug and ruffled Haru's silky hair.

"Haha..." Makoto chuckled as he kept on playing with Haru's hair.

Thank you. Thank you Makoto.

I need it.
