Makoto X Male Reader

For TheRealArchangelo2 Hope you enjoy!

Romance wasn't something that Makoto normally had on her mind, that is until she met you. The thoughts of wanting to hold hands, go on dates and even kiss began to float through her head ever since the two of you had started dating, but she was to embarrassed to tell you about that. Even though you were happy to be with Makoto she always felt as though she was failing you, because of her lack of knowledge in the romance department. She would often talk to her friend Eiko about relationships, and watch how the other couples would act. You were happy to see how hard she was trying, but you wanted her to relax.

"The aquarium? Why did you want to come here (Y/n)?" Makoto asked tilting her head to the side. "Your working hard to learn about dating and all, so I figured we should just go on a date. Wouldn't it be better to experience it to get a better idea?" You smiled at Makoto as you explained your plan. You saw her cheeks turn a light pink as she smiled back at you. "I suppose your right. Let us study things we don't have experience in yet for ourselves." Makoto linked her arm around yours as you both entered the aquarium.

You took Makoto to watch the dolphins first. She looked like she was having fun watching them do their cool tricks, while she was talking to you about dolphins the announcer called her up to feed the majestic sea creature. You watched as she threw a fish into the air, making the dolphin jump out of the water to catch it's snack. After a few more tosses she petted the creature goodbye and came back to her seat. "That sure was exhilarating. I've never touched a dolphin before." You laughed at Makoto's expression as she watched the dolphins continue the show.

After the event you and Makoto walked around the aquarium looking at all the different fish. Makoto would occasionally explain the type of fish you were currently looking at. Soon you found yourselves wondering into the touch pool area. There were a lot of children crowding the tank, but you were able to squeeze in between them. You reached your hand into the tank and was greeted by the smooth rubbery like skin of a passing stingray.

"Did you know that stingrays are closely related to sharks? They belong to a group of fishes called the elasmobranchs. Elasmobranchii is a subclass of Chondrichthyes or cartilaginous fish, including the sharks and the rays, skates, and sawfish..." Makoto stops her knowledgeable rant when she notices all the children are staring at her strangely. She blushes and leans over the tank, picking up a starfish. "Um... Look a starfish, it has five arms!" Makoto laughs nervously as she holds up the starfish to you. You laugh happily with her. "I'm sorry. I don't know how to be a bubbly girlfriend... Am I bothering you with all these fact?" Makoto looks down as she speaks.
You give her hand a light squeeze, gaining her attention. "No way. I like how knowledgeable you are, it's one of the reasons why I like you so much." You tell her with a reassuring smile making her blush.
"Thank you (Y/n)."
"Hey doesn't this starfish remind you of a certain persona?" You ask looking curiously at the creature.
"Now that you mention it..."
Suddenly the starfish jumps from Makoto's hands and back into the tank. You both share a laugh then continue to explore the aquarium. You make your final stop at a huge tank filled with many exotic fish.

"Thank you for bringing me here, it's nice."
"I hope you enjoyed yourself. I had a lot of fun today."
"I had fun as well." Makoto's smile fades as she looks at the tank. She wraps a hand around her arm and turns back to you. "You know... I still don't know what it means to be a couple though. I want you to be as happy as I am right now, how do I do that?"
Makoto gives you a serious look as she asks. You chuckle and point at two fish in the tank behind her. "Hey can you tell me what those fish are?"
Makoto turns to look at the two fish, it looks like they are kissing each other. "I believe those are Kissing gouramis. They got that name from the way they kiss other fishes in the tank. They are..."

Makoto turns to face you and is greeted with a kiss on the lips. "They kiss like that right?" You say with a sly smirk. Makoto's shocked face turns a dark crimson, but she recovers quickly, letting out a small chuckle. "Are you trying to pick a fight (Y/n)?"
You tilt your head in confusion at her question. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Kissing gouramis lock lips like that when they are fighting." She says laughing.
This time you blush. "I had no idea..." You pull Makoto in for a hug to hide your blushing face. "A-anyway I just wanted to let you know that just having you by my side makes me incredibly happy Makoto. You don't have to try so hard, I like you just the way you are."
Makoto blushes at your word and hugs you back. "I'm glad to hear that. Please stay with me forever, (Y/n)."
"Gladly." You whisper into her ear.
