~Chapter 6~

Kaito had watched something happen between Makoto and Haru, but she was too late to figure out what it was. She glanced at Makoto's face. He looked worried.

More than usual. Her eyes followed where Makoto was staring at, and it was Haru, but his whole body was already facing the other way. She started to feel uneasy.

Ever since she started to hang out with them, there was always something wrong with him. Not in a sense of disease or disability, but in a way that he was always.. distant.

Distant towards her, especially when she had been with Makoto.

Not only that, but she always felt like he was giving an angry vibe every time Makoto had been nice to her, and vice versa.

She didn't know Haru very well, but both Makoto and Kaito knew that something was wrong with Haru.

Kaito had developed a feeling over time that Haru was.. jealous and angry. But it was a just a guess. By the way his expressionless face always is, he didn't seem to show any hint of his feelings. So, she didn't know if Haru could or was feeling jealously and anger.

Makoto had already sort of snapped out of it, the back of his mind still feeling worried about Haru. He looked at Kaito, and he could see that Kaito was concerned about Haru as much as he was. He smiled lightly, and picked the blossom out of her hands, and placed it in her hair.

When Kaito snapped out of it, she didn't see the flower in her hair until after. She touched it lightly, and smiled.

"It's very pretty like that in your hair. You should leave it in.", Makoto said, smiling lightly.

Kaito's eyes twinkled. She blushed a bright red color on her cheeks, and stopped fooling around with the blossom.

"Okay, I will. Thank you.", she chimed, putting her hand by her side, which caused her hand to brush Makoto's. They both blushed.

'Such smooth skin..', the both of them thought.

"Okay, everyone! Let's go!" Gou said with excitement.

Nagisa pulled Rei along to get closer with Gou, while Haru trailed behind them. Makoto and Kaito followed behind Haru, whom they were both concerned about.

As they walked to find a place near Kaito's house, Makoto and Kaito kept brushing their hands together as an accident. Makoto decided he was going to make a move already.
