Warnings: Sousuke and Makoto being friends?

Chapter Summary:

Makoto checks in on Sousuke to see how everything went on the other end, but he isn't the only one making an important call.

A/N: The End! This was really fun to write, and honestly it only started with the thought "Ahhh, I want my two angels to achieve happiness together!" And so this was born, because Makoto and Sousuke are absolute sweethearts who would definitely sympathize with each other. I hope everyone liked it, and thank you for reading!

"Only you'd be dating someone and not realize it, Tachibana," Sousuke laughed over the phone. He heard the other boy spluttering in his embarrassment.

"I'm glad everything worked out," he added, trying to placate his embarrassed friend. More stammering followed before he heard him take a deep breath.

"Yeah, thank you Yamazaki-kun. How about you? Actually that's why I called," he heard the boy laugh in his awkwardness. Sousuke smiled to himself, looking at the door to their dorm room. Rin had just left to go get some snacks from the vending machine.

"Well, I can't say everything's perfect. It's different, but not in a bad way." He sighed laying backing on Rin's bed. He replayed the evening in his head.

"He's thinking about it seriously, and he doesn't seem to have any aversions to it yet, but no promises." Sousuke recounted a bit of what had happened and Makoto hummed, thinking about it before he excused himself for a moment. Suddenly the phone speaker brought loud laughter right into his ear. Sousuke scowled.

"What's so funny?"

"Ah, Yamazaki-kun. I really don't think you have anything to worry about." Makoto laughed more and a sudden loud cry followed.

"Yamazaki," a cold voice came over the receiver. Sousuke flinched.

"Nanase," he acknowledged, wondering what in the world he could want.

"Take care of Rin," he answered. "And tell him he really needs to learn how to multitask or else he'll end up wasting his money."

"What?"

The phone called ended immediately after and Sousuke stared at the device in his hands. Nanase was a real nutcase, he concluded. The door to their room swung open and a flustered Rin stomped in, tossing bags of chips and candy at Sousuke. His eyebrow rose at two candy bags that neither boy particularly cared for.

"What'd you get these for?" he questioned, looking up at the boy in front of him. Rin turned a pretty shade of pink before he scoffed, turning away to grab his laptop.

"Shut up, I hit the wrong buttons, duh."

Sousuke's eyes lit up.

"So what movie do you want to watch?" The gruff captain asked, grabbing his charger before flopping on his bed, plugging in the wire. When he didn't get a response he looked over to his best friend, wondering why he was suddenly so quiet. He jerked a little at seeing the other just grinning at him.

"What the hell are you smiling at!?" Rin squirmed. Sousuke just shook his head and laughed.

"Nothing. I don't care what we watch. Just make sure you don't pick something awful." Sousuke teased, settling into a comfortable position. Rin tried to shrug off his self-consciousness. He sat the laptop between them.

"Next time we're going to go see that movie that's out. Momo and Ai already went with a couple of the guys and said it was awesome." Sousuke smirked.

"You asking me out on a date, Matsuoka?" Rin elbowed him.

"Shut up," he muttered. Sousuke just chuckled to himself, settling back against his pillow. Rin found a reasonable sounding movie a few minutes later and pressed play. Half way through the opening credits a stray hand found Sousuke's, lacing their fingers.

"Maybe I am."

Sousuke didn't say anything the entire movie, but his face was starting to hurt form the smile that wouldn't leave.
