---Reader POV---"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit" I growled as I sprinted down the sidewalk. I had missed my train coming in from the riding club, so I'm late to pick up Leia from swimming lessons. I looked at my watch, "8:30, they got done 15 minutes ago" I mumbled as I ran around the corner. I weaved around people on the sidewalk, yelling some "sorry"s and "excuse me"s. I saw the swim club not to far ahead of me.
I ran up to the building and opened the doors. I saw Makoto waiting with Leia, they were both already changed into their normal clothes. "I'm so sorry" I apologized panting.
"I missed my train, I'm sorry" I apologized again.
"It's alright [N/N]" Leia said smiling.
"Yeah, really don't worry about it" Makoto said calmly, I looked up at him and he smiled at me. I immediately felt heat rise to my cheeks.
"Uh, th-thanks for staying with her" I said fighting off the pink dusting my face.
"It wasn't any problem, Leia and I got to talk for a little bit. Right?" He asked smiling at her. She nodded smiling, "Coach Tachibana swims backstroke and likes kitties. Just like you!" Leia said smiling.
"Oh really now" I said chuckling and smiling at her. I looked back up to Makoto, only to find him watching me. He noticed me catching him and I saw pink spread across his face. I smiled shyly turning back to Leia who was yawning, I chuckled "Come on lets get you home" I said gesturing for her to come. She walked up sleepily and took my hand, I chuckled and looked at Makoto who was also smiling.
"I'll see you tomorrow" I said beginning to walk away. We made it to the doors before, "Hey [F/N] wait!"
I turned to see Makoto jogging towards me, "Hey why don't you go sit on that bench while the big kids talk" I said pointing to the bench against the wall. She walked over and I turned back to the green eyed teen. "Uh hey, I was wondering, if you maybe wanted to come eat lunch with Kou, the swim club, and I tomorrow?" He asked scratching his neck with a pink blush on his cheeks.
"Uhm" I said tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, 'Sit with him at lunch? What if I make a fool of myself? What if Kou slips up? But then again, what if it goes well?' I thought looking at him.
"I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to" He said a bit disappointed.
"No no" I said waving my hands, "I would love too. Where should I meet you guys?" I asked flashing a smile. I saw his face light up, "We always eat on the roof if you want to meet us there, or if you'd like I could wait for you since we're in the same class" he offered, I nodded. "Thanks but I have to do something for Mr. Adachi before lunch during class, so I'll have to meet you guys there" I explained and he nodded.
"Oh, alright" He said smiling, "Oh and since it's a Friday and it's going to be a nice day, the staff decided to cancel lessons so the kids can enjoy the sun." He explained and I nodded.
"Okay, I'll remember that." I said, I looked down at Leia who had fallen asleep on the bench. I chuckled, "I should get her home" I said pulling her bag over my own. I walked over to pick her up. 'How am I gonna do this?' I thought looking at her sleeping form.
"Do you need help?" Makoto asked walking over to me. I looked at him, "My walk to my house is the same way as yours, I sometimes see you when I walk to school." He said rubbing the back of his neck.
"I-I couldn't ask you to do that, especially not after I already made you this late to get home." I said waving my hands.
"It's really not a problem" He said smiling, "I'm not going to take no for an answer" He said chuckling.
