Together From The Start

Prologue

Flashback to little Haru and Makoto

One day after swim practice the boys were at a park playing together when out of nowhere Makoto said that he loved Haru.

He stood on top of the slide and said, "I love you Haru!"

His words embarrassed Haru as he asked him, "Why would you say such a thing?"

Makoto had a smile on his face while he sat down and said, "I wanted to say my feelings out loud."

Haru stood in front of the slide embarrassed because of Makoto and he was even more embarrassed when Makoto came down the slide and said, "Haru let's get married someday!

He turned away to hide his red face while Makoto hugged him from behind with a big smile on his face and without looking at Makoto, Haru quietly said, "I love you too Makoto."

End of flashback

Haru was sitting in his tub staring at the little dolphin toy.

"Let's get married some day huh?" He spoke to himself.

Meanwhile, outside the bathroom door stood a tall handsome young man named Makoto.

What!? marriage? d-did I hear that right? Why is Haru thinking about getting married!?

He hesitated to open the door because of what he overheard so he took a deep breath before sliding the door open.

"Goodmorning Haru-chan!" said Makoto, "looks like today is going to be a really good day don't you think?"

"I said to drop the chan part." said Haru before grabbing Makoto's hand.

"Right, sorry. Old habit...a-anyway hurry up and get dressed already, we're gonna be late."

On their way to school they walked side by side in silence.

I wonder what Haru was thinking about while he was sitting in his tub. If I ask him he probably wouldn't tell me.

Makoto sighed which caught Haru's attention so he asked, "What is it, are you upset about something?"

"Huh?" He looked at Haru and while looking at him he remembered what he overheard outside the bathroom door. "It's nothing don't worry about it."

"Are you sure?" Haru asked, "Your face is red." Makoto looked away and repeated, "It's nothing! Don't worry about it okay?"

Haru looked away like he always does, "Fine, whatever."
