Everything was dark. Pitch black. Haruka could still feel himself choking on the water, his eyes staring now open. Haruka was thrashing himself around as he screamed in the water, bubbles coming from his mouth as his movements got slower and slower. Makoto was swimming as fast as he could, adrenaline engulfing him as he saw his friend. He kept telling him to go faster and faster even though his muscles were starting to give. He soon reached his friend as he grabbed his torso and pulled him up. Makoto breathed heavily once he was able to, and he swam his way to the edge and lofted him over. "Mako!" Nagisa shouted as he ran over, along with Rei. Nagisa helped Makoto lift Haruka out, and laid him on his back. Rei helped the tired brunette out of the pool. Makotos body was shaking from swimming so quickly, but also dragging the male with him. His breathing was so heavily as he knelt next to boy.
"M-Mako-Chan... is he okay?" Nagisa said in a small and scared voice as he got closer to Rei by instinct, the taller male wrapping a arm around the blonde, knowing that he was frightened and all. Makoto looked at his friend, shaking his head.
"I don't know... but I can try and help..." he said as he was bending over the bluenette boy underneath him. Makoto put his head near Harukas mouth as he tried to listen to any breath that could be heard. There was a faint echo of a breath. "Okay... I can hear him breathing, but it's really weak... I think he swallowed a lot of water..." he said as he started to preform CPR on Harukas chest, starting to panic a little as after a little while, it wasnt working, "H-Haru... cmon Haru..." he started to cry, being scared that his friend would never wake up again, "H-Haruka! Wake up!" He shouted as tears fell. Nagisa was now hiding his face in Reis chest as he too was starting to cry, the purple-haired male gently stroked down Nagisas back, hoping to calm him.
Makoto then started to do mouth to mouth in hopes that Haruka would start breathing again. He repeated these two steps a few times through, before he started to give up, thinking his friend was gone. "H-Haruka... wake up..." he said.
The bluenette started to cough heavily as he turned on his side, throwing up whatever was in his stomach, along with a lot of water. Even though it grossed Makoto out slightly, he was more then glad to be able to see that the boy was breathing again. "Your okay.., just breath... just breath..." Makoto tried to encourage. Haruka soon got all the water out of his lungs, only a few straggling coughs remaining. Nagisas tears soon stopped as he realized that Haruka was awake and breathing. Makoto immediately hugged him very tightly, not even caring if Haruka wasn't the cleanest from throwing up. All he wanted to do was hug his best friend so he knew he was okay.
"M-Makoto..." he whispered softly. Haruka seemed more calm and at peace then before when his memory was all messy. He looked around at the two other guys standing by him. Makoto was a little confused about how he was acting, so he slowly pulled away and looked into a Harukas ocean blue eyes.
"Haru... What do you all remember? Your acting a little different from how you were around a hour ago back at my house..." The brunette was having a hard time understanding if Haruka could remember again, or if it was just a state of mind. Haruka gave him a puzzled look.
"What? What do you mean, Makoto? It's kind of a dumb question to ask really..." he said in a mello tone. Makoto was starting to believe more and more that a miracle just happened according to what his friend was saying. Haruka sat up all the way and looked into Makotos dark green eyes, "what do you mean, everything's normal...?"
Makoto then started to cry once more as he realized his wish had came true. "Y-You didn't forget!" He cried out, then soon closing the space between Harukas and his own lips. Haruka, who couldn't remember anything during the time that he had supposedly forgotten, was very surprised and startled by the kiss, but it didn't really matter anyway, as he too had loved Makoto. Nagisa and Rei were smiling in the background, knowing that they should let them share their moment. Makoto was the first to pull away as he looked sheepishly to the side. "I-I'm sorry... I guess I just got a bit too happy... but I'm assuming you don't remember losing your memory... it was a lot to deal with and I—" Makoto was soon silenced by Haruka.
"You sure do talk a lot, don't you...?" Haruka said with the slightest chuckle before kissing Makoto once more, closing his eyes as he melted into it. It had been a really long day for the two of them, dealing with all of the memory issues, love confessions and so much more. Makoto was just glad that Haruka could remember, but he was more glad when he found out that the boy truly shared the same feelings. The day went on as they two boys soon made it back to Makotos house. All the tension was relieved, and everyone was finally calm after all the things they had been through.
"So... Haru... there's a thing in town, and I was really hoping that you may want to go. You probably have heard of it... but it's the Iwami annual dance, and were eligible to go. There's a bunch of people from university going and I was really hoping... uh..." It was just the two of them walking along the shoreline which they would normally do through their youth. It was Makotos genius idea to do it, since he thoughts it would cheer Haruka up even more. His face was pretty red, almost matching the sunset that was to his right, "well.. I was wondering... if you wanted to go with me... but as.. well, I guess you could call... a date..."
Immediately after he said that, Harukas face flushed. He wouldn't have expected this was going to be the way that Makoto said how he felt. Haruka took a second to think, not because he didn't know if he wanted to go or not, but because he wasn't sure if he could even speak because of how shocked he was, "You know... your the only person I would ever say yes too..." Haruka gave the smaller smile as Makotos heart practically screamed in happiness, except no physical sound actually came out. The brunette looked away with slight embarrassment as the reality of him practically asking Haruka out hit him.
"Well..." Makoto rubbed the back of his neck with one of his hands gently, yet nervously, "I'm glad that I can be able to go with you!" He gave a small smile, chuckle. For a while, they walked in silence, hearing the crashing waves as they hit the shore. Eventually, after the quite lengthy walk, they both made it back to Makotos house, since Haruka didn't want to be alone as usual. They both walked inside to the warm house, letting out a small sigh as they adjusted to the temperature.
"Haru... I got you something. Since I don't ever recall you having anything, I guess you could call fancy, while you were hanging out with the rest of the team, I managed to stop by a clothing store..." he smiled softly as he took Haruka up the stairs and into his room, opening up the closet, and taking out the nice pants and deep blue button up shirt, "I know how much you like blue, and this was the only one left in your size!" He smiled and handed it to him. Haruka was so surprised at the sudden gift he got.
"W-Woah... Makoto... you didn't need to get this for me... how much was it?" He asked, his eyes widened, "I can pay you back whatever it costs—" He started to say as he reached his hand near his pocket, Makoto instantly reaching his hand to Harukas.
"N-No! I mean... you don't have too... it's okay! We should probably get ready, since it is later tonight" he smiled gently, still holding onto Harukas hand. The bluenette noticed as he gulped a little, his face reddening. Letting out a small sigh he agreed, smiling a little as well. Makoto had pulled out his deep, forest green shirt as he started to get dressed into it, Haru doing the same, "Woah, that looks really nice on you, Haru!" The brunette blushed slightly looked at Haru as he was over looking at himself in the mirror.
"Are you sure that it fits okay? It seems a little... big" Haruka pulled at the shirts sides. Makoto slowly walked over to him, starting to tuck the rest of the shirt in for him.
"That's because the back of the shirt wasn't tucked in..." Letting out a small chuckle, the brunette finished tucking in his shirt for him. Haruka jumped a little as his heart rate started to increase a bit. He hadn't really realized how helpful and kind Makoto was until just recently. With all the things that had happen with his memory loss, and how well Makoto took care of him, it made Haru want to do something in return for the male, "Shall we get going? I think we are both ready" Makoto gave a light smile before starting to walk out of the bathroom and to the front door, putting on his black shoes for school. Haruka followed and did the same.
They started to walk outside seeing the bright lights of the town that the two of them lived by. It's was very peaceful and calming as they walked in the quote, only a few cars interrupting the silence. Walking to their desired destination. there was a line of people to get inside. They stood at the end.
Makoto was noticing that they were getting quiet a few looks, but could understand why. Around here, it wasn't as normal for there to be two guys going to a dance as a couple, but it wasn't hate on, just not common. Finally, after the line soon shrank down, they both showed their drivers licenses, which could be filled in for IDs, and walked into the building. Music was playing as the two of them walked side by side until they got into the main room. Makoto looked around as he saw a lot of people who were just having fun. He chuckled as he brought Haru away from the door into the crowd of people, but not right in the middle, since that's where a lot of the people that would be weirded out by them were. The brunette started to move to the beat slightly, not being the best at dancing, but did better then he thought he would. Haruka on the other hand looked really anxious and nervous as he just kinda stood there, looking away from Makoto. The brunette could tell that the male in front of him was starting to get uncomfortable, and he wanted to help. Makoto knew that Haru wasn't good in crowded social situations, but he didn't realize it was this bad until now. He gently moved his hands to Harukas arms and looked at him, getting a glance back.
"Hey now... I can tell that you aren't 100% comfortable, but it's okay, just, enjoy yourself. I know people are going to be looking at us, but I don't think it matters. Just dance with me, Haru..." Makoto said, starting to dance a little with him, Haruka catching on. It was easy to tell that the two boys were dancing for the first time. They weren't incredibly good, but they weren't incredibly bad. After a few minutes of dancing to a more upbeat song, Haru had gotten a little more comfortable, it seeing on his face. The song soon stopped, as a slower one turned on, cause all the couples in the room to get together and start dancing, holding onto each other.
Makoto gulped as he looked at Haruka, the bluenette looking into the boy in front of hims eyes, staring at the same time. They both wanted the same thing, to dance with each other, but words were hard to make as both of them struggled to speak. Makoto then put his hand out slowly, "H-Haru..." he paused to try and calm himself down before he said his next words, "will you... dance with me?"
Haruka was flattered as he soon smiled, Makoto internally gasping as he saw the bluenette smile for once in quite a long time. Haru then slowly took the taller males hand as he felt another go on his waist. They then began to rock back in forth to the beat of the music. Some people were looking at them, but they were in their own world, dancing along. Makoto felt so happy at the moment. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Haruka on the other hand never expected this to happen, and was quite surprised Makoto even asked him to the dance in the first place.
Makoto looked into Harukas deep ocean blue eyes as he parted his lips to speak, "Uhm... Haru... I..." the brunette couldn't manage to get words out of his mouth as he stuttered quite a bit, dragging on his words, as if not wanting to speak. Haruka started to catch on to what he was trying to say, "Haru... I love you... that's all" he then turned away slightly, still dancing, but Haruka smiled more, waiting until Makoto was looking back at him.
"Makoto... I love you too..." At this moment, the tall male knew that it was the right time and that he should make a move now. Not caring who was looking, he bent over and locked his lips with Harukas, both of them closing their eyes. They shared a small little moment, people now staring, but they didn't care. They were both in their own world as Harukas arms went around Makotos neck. After he felt the time was right, Makoto pulled away and looked Haruka in the eyes. "I always knew you loved me... and I hoped that this happened too..." the bluenette stated with the smallest chuckle. But that small sound made Makotos heart flutter as he hadn't heard him laugh like that.
"Well... Haru... I'm glad that I could share my first kiss with you... and hopefully, my last one can be shared with you in the future..." he said with the smallest chuckle, copying Haru. They then danced the night away, feeling the happiest they have ever been in a while. None of them would've ever thought that they would be in the moment. There were times where Makoto would continuously doubt himself, thinking that Haruka would have no interest in him, or if he did like men, that he would've liked someone else. Haruka on the other hand, he waited every night to be able to wake up and go to school, seeing the boy he had always wanted to be with.
"Haru... I had one last thing to say... will you, go out with me?"
The answer may have not be said, but just know, it takes two to dance.
