"Look at those back muscles!" Gou exclaimed. Her eyes sparkling, her face blushing and her mouth drooling at the television. "Gou! Gou!" Nagisa called to annoy her, knowing that she hates being called by her original name.

"Don't call me Gou, call me Kou!" The girl yelled at him, really wanting to hit him this time. But then again, she couldn't. She didn't want to bruise his perfect skin.

"Now, now." Makoto told them with a sigh, nothing has changed.

"Water..." Makoto spun his head around to see Haruka stripping down his clothes in front of a glass of water. "H-Haru, you can't fit in that!" He ran to him to stop him from taking off anymore.

They were all at Makoto's house to catch up with each other. Ever since Makoto and Haru went to Tokyo, they thought that they should catch up with each other in their hometown.

"This plate...is beautiful." Rei whispered, holding the beautifully patterned, glass plate in his hands.

Nothing changed.

Makoto's mum was smiling at the group of friends by the door. "You have all grown so much! Especially you, Haru." As always, Haruka didn't say anything and looked away. Makoto chuckled and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Haru asked him quietly, still looking away. He shook his head and laughed softly. "Nothing." Then turned away, letting Haru smile freely without him having to see it.

"Ah, Mako-chan, Haru-chan, we missed you two!" Nagisa cried, his eyes welled up with tears as he hugged the two of his friends.

"Nagisa-kun, they might be thinking it's uncomfortable-" Rei started but he was cut off by Nagisa pouting at him. "I know you want to hug them too, Rei-chan." Which made the butterfly burst into tears. "Haruka-senpai, Makoto-senpai..." He cried, taking his glasses off to wipe away the tears.
"Just join the hug already, Rei-chan." Rei smiled and joined, and cried even harder.

Makoto patted their heads and hugged them tight. "There, there. We missed you, too." The orca turned to Haru who was smiling and asked, "What about you, Haru?" Haruka sighed, with a face that said, 'I'm glad to be back'. "Of course, I do."

"Shh, this guy has amazing triceps." Gou interrupted, her chin rested on her balled fists and her elbows on the table.

The four released each other and started to laugh. "Makoto, there's four boys that wants to come in, too!" His mum called out. "Yes, I'm coming!" Makoto got up and smiled at his friends. "I'll be back."

After a minute or two, the orca came back with the four boys from the Samezuka Academy.

"Yo!" Rin greeted with a grin. "Don't start crying, again." Sousuke muttered but just loud enough for him to hear. "What?! I wasn't even going to..." Sousuke laughed at him and ruffled the shark's hair. "Hah..." Was all Rin said.

"Gou-san, Gou-san! I brought my stag beetle! This one's the largest one I caught, it's 8 centimetres, I checked. Look, look!" Momotarou chatted happily. "Uhh...nice!" Gou said unsurely, she really wanted to keep watching the boys in the TV, though. Momo gasped, his eyes sparkling. "Gou-san said, 'nice'..." He started to dance around, holding the stag beetle. "Nice!" He kept repeating.

"Hey, watch out!" Nitori said worriedly, running up to him but accidentally making the sea otter trip over his foot instead. "Ah, sorry! Momo-kun, are you okay?" Ai bent down and asked worriedly.
Momotarou shut his eyes, smiling. "Nice..." He repeated once again.

Ran and Ren ran up to Makoto and wrapped their arms around his neck. "Onii-chan!" The orca hugged them tightly. "Ran, Ren!"
But the twins soon let go to go talk to Haruka.

"Haru-chan, what's Tokyo, like?" Ran asked on the left side of Haru. "Haru-chan, is it fun there?" Ren asked on the other. "It's okay." The dolphin said quietly and gave a short, quick smile.
Makoto sighed, "You two..."

When Makoto's mum had finished cooking, Makoto and Rei helped set the table. Of course, Rei was glad to since he admired the patterned plates. Nagisa and Haru were busy chatting with the others. Haru didn't really say much, he just listened and answered yes and no questions.

"Makoto-senpai, are you and Haruka-senpai doing well?" Rei asked as he placed a plate down. The brunette smiled and nodded. "Yes. Ah, Rei, how's the swim club coming along?"

"Nagisa-kun and I are doing pretty good actually. We got some new members. A few of them need a little more practise, though."
The orca smiled. "That's nice-"

"Is there mackerel?" Haruka suddenly asked out of no where, coming in between them. "Ah, Haru! Yeah, it seems like my mum grilled mackerel, too." Makoto said smiling. "H-Haruka-senpai? How did you get here so quickly?" Rei asked nervously, pushing his glasses back up.

"Probably the mackerel." Haruka answered looking away, making Makoto laugh.

"Itadakimasu!!"

Everyone was eating at the table, chatting happily, all smiling. It has been a while since they've all gathered like this.

Ren and Ran were already fast asleep in their bedroom and soon the large group would have to leave.

"Sorry but Sousuke and I have to go, we're gonna be pretty busy tomorrow. It was nice seeing you two again, Haru, Makoto." Rin said, grinning. Sousuke just smiled. "Thanks again, Makoto, Haru." And they left with Nitori having to drag the crying Momotarou away. "Nitori-senpai, I don't want to go, yet!"

"Let's all go to Haru-chan's house!" Nagisa suggested, jumping up. "If that's okay with Haru..." Makoto said looking at Haruka for permission.

"Sure."

The four boys all went to Haruka's house, leaving Gou behind to finish off the show she was watching.

"Rei-chan, is there a Southern Rockhopper Penguin?" Nagisa asked, looking at the stars. "Mm...I don't see any, Nagisa-kun." Rei replied, looking up, searching for a Rockhopper Penguin in the stars.

Right now, they were outside at Haru's backyard, looking at the stars. Haruka was determined to find a dolphin and Makoto found it quite amusing because of the way he looked.

"Ah, Haruka-Senpai, I found a dolphin!" Rei almost yelled, pointing up to it excitedly. Haru turned quickly to Rei and his eyes followed his finger to where he was pointing.

Makoto almost fell asleep but he shook it off that time he heard Rei about the dolphin constellation. "It's called the 'Delphinus'" Rei told them, pushing up his glasses again. "What...I don't see it, Rei-chan." Nagisa said in a bored tone. "It's right there!" Rei kept pointing.

Haruka could see it and he was smiling. "Delphinus..." After that Makoto smiled at him and fell asleep, his head leaning on the wall beside him.

Rei gasped. "Cetus!" The two looked at him, questioning him what he meant. "The whale constellation, 'Cetus'" Haruka looked back up again, his ocean eyes dazzled like the stars that were up.

He looked back at Makoto, wanting to tell him. But he was already asleep. Haru took one last look at the sleeping orca and smiled back up at the sky.

"You should've seen this, Makoto."
