The Orca and the Dolphin

Chapter 2

A/N: At school with nothing to do. One of my classes was cancelled. I should study for my math test, but a friend of mine who I eat lunch with gave me a cute idea for a fanfic without them realizing it, so here I am. Procrastinating.

Makoto and Haru were sitting on the couch playing video games as they tried to catch up with what happened throughout their day.

"My mom called me earlier, said that Ran has a school dance coming up. She says Ran is so excited," Makoto smiled. Ran had tried to snatch the phone from their mother in excitement.

"Hm," was all Haru replied, yet Makoto knew that was his response that he was listening.

"Ran told me she was going to get a new dress. She even mentioned a corsage."

"A corsage? Isn't that fancy for an elementary school dance?"

"Yeah, but my mom wanted it to be special for her, you know? Her first dance and all," Makoto explained.

"Hm."

"Do corsages smell good?" Makoto asked, curious.

Haruka scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

"Well, it's made of flowers, right? Do they smell good?" Makoto felt a small blush rise to his cheek when he realized just how weird his question was.

"Sometimes the flowers are fake," Haruka elaborated.

"Oh..."

"Makoto?"

"Yes?" He looked at Haru, pausing the game.

"Have you seriously never had a corsage before?" He asked Makoto unbelievably.

"...No..."

Makoto saw Haruka fight a small smile, "Well okay then. Corsage virgin."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Makoto demanded to his boyfriend. Instead of answering, Haru just smirked in silence and turned back to the TV. He grumbled, and un-paused the video game. 'Corsage virgin. That's not even a thing,' Makoto thought, although not really annoyed. His boyfriend was just weird, and he loved it.

A few days later, Haru was bouncing with excitement as he waited for his boyfriend to come home from class. His present was wrapped neatly in a box, and could not wait for Makoto to come home and open it. For the twentieth time in the past minute, he glanced at the clock. 'Come on, come on, come on Makoto!' he wanted to scream. Mako should have been home by now. After what seemed like forever, he heard the door open.

"I'm home," Makoto called out. Haruka wanted him to put down his stuff before he ran and tackled him in a hug. Caught off guard, Makoto tried to balance them so they would not fall. "Miss me that much?" Makoto teased.

Ignoring the blush that crept up to his face, Haru practically shoved the present in Makoto's hands. "It's for you... I made it myself." He couldn't look his boyfriend in the eyes.

Surprised, Makoto turned the box in his hands and sat down at the table. He couldn't help, but feel a little excited that Haru had given him a gift. He pulled the wrapper away carefully, not wanting to break anything. There was a box with a note tapped to it.

"I wanted to de-flower you with a flower ;)"

"What?" Makoto almost burst out loud in laughter, but held it back. Him and Haruka have had sex plenty of times.

Haru turned absolutely red. "Rin made me write it... He said it would be a good pun..."

Makoto, even more confused, opened the box and pulled out a corsage. The rose was white, with blue flowers attached to the side. On the stem was another note, with the words "Corsage Virgin"

"I know... It's stupid, but you said you've never had a corsage before and I wanted to make you one," Haru rubbed the back of his neck, his entire face still completely red.

Makoto tried to hold back the beaming smile, but failed. "I love it."

"Really?" Haru looked up at his boyfriend, surprised.

"Yeah. It's beautiful. You said you made it yourself right?"

Haruka nodded. Makoto stood up and took his wonderful, quirky boyfriend's head in his hands.

"I love it, and even if it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen, knowing you made something for me, and put time and effort into it, brings me more joy than you could ever imagine," Makoto expressed sincerely. He then kissed him sweetly. "Now, how about we go and re-de-flower each other," he winked at Haru.

Haruka laughed. "Yeah... Okay."

Makoto smiled and kissed his boyfriend again, leading him to their bedroom.

A/N: Awwwwwww. So cute. Anyways, I have never had a corsage myself before, not even when I went to prom. I never wanted one real bad or anything, but when that friend of mine mentioned how she was looking for stuff to make hers today, I, in passing, said, "'I've never had a corsage before." She then said she was going to make me one (with me feeling really guilty because reasons lol); thus, this chapter was born. I know it's kinda short. Sorry, but I didn't want to drag it out. I have another hour until my next class (it took me a little over an hour to write this) and I really don't want to study... Ugh.
