The Day Haru Was Taken Away (Free! Rp)

Haru sniffled and looked to Makoto, relaxing when he heard he didn't need anything else. "A-Are you sure you're okay waiting... I-It could be years before I can do that..." He mumbled and made a small sniffle, nervous Makoto would change his mind.


"A-And I'd never want you to leave me... I-I love you..." He mumbled quietly and clung to him.
 
"Years? No problem. Hell, if you asked me to wait until our next lives, I would still be fine with it. As long as I'm with you, everything else is just extra."


And there it was again, the three-word phrase that never failed to set his heartbeat on overdrive. Even mumbled in a soft voice, Makoto was still overcome by the pure, unadulterated love that he had for Haru. "I love you too," replied the brunette boy with a soft voice to match. "So, so much. More than you could ever understand."
 
Haru sniffled and clung to Makoto. "Y-You're way too kind to me..." He said and sighed shakily. "Y-You're probably the only person in the world who would be this patient and not expect me to do that.." He said quietly and looked up to him.
 
Makoto chuckled and held Haru just a bit harder, "Heh, that may be true, but I'm also the only person in the world lucky enough to hold you like this."


Looking back down, he was once again caught by Haru's incredible blue eyes, mesmerized. Despite everything the last five years had done to him, his eyes had remained true to his former self. Thinking back, it was Haru's eyes that Makoto had first recognized when he's found Haru in that basement. "Beautiful," he uttered, though he doubted he was only talking about Haru's eyes anymore.
 
Haru's cheeks turned red when he heard Makoto say beautiful and he rested his head against Makoto's shoulder.


"You're weird..." He mumbled and sighed. "I'm not beautiful...Not like this.." He added quietly.
 
He still thinks that everything that's happened has made him undesirable... Makoto thought sadly. How can I get through to him? How do I let him know that he's perfect just the way he is?


Makoto brought one hand up to Haru's cheek and caressed it, his warm hand connecting with even hotter, flushed skin. "Don't you know? True beauty doesn't ever fade. It only grows stronger. And right now, I'm staring at the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Makoto's eyes were unwavering and soft, softer than they'd ever been in these past 5 years. Everything he was saying felt right and good and natural, he smiled, a chuckle punctuating his breath.


"Sorry, was that cheesy?" he asked, his own face beginning to flush. He was pretty sure that was incredibly cheesy. But even though it was cheesy, everything was still true.
 
Haru's cheeks went an even brighter red as he looked up at Makoto and saw how soft and pure his eyes looked. He realized even if he didn't believe it to be true, Makoto did in fact see him as perfect.


"That was incredibly cheesy.." He said, relaxing and smiling up at him.
 
//I just realized that I don't actually know where Makoto is right now so I'm just gonna say he's snuggling with Haru :P//


"Yeah, I guess you're right. Though I bet I could top that. I could say how your eyes are deep enough to get lost in without even realize it. I could talk about how when I hold you like this, it makes me never want to let you go. Or maybe I could talk about how when you blush like that, it makes me want to make sure that you're the happiest person on the planet."


Makoto smiled and planted a kiss on the top of Haru's head, "See? It's not so hard."
 
Haru blushed at all of Makoto's words and he nuzzled his face in the other's chest. "I guess it's not" he said and relaxed.


"I love you a lot.." He said quietly and closer his eyes with a soft sigh.
 
Makoto closed his eyes and smiled, enjoying the feeling of Haru's small body in his arms; he was a perfect fit.


"I love you more," Makoto countered.


It was just about then that Makoto noticed how in sync they were. No, it was deeper than that. Their bodies were in sync. From their in-time heartbeats to their matching breaths, the two were practically inseperable. It was hard for Makoto to discern exactly where his body ended and Haru's began.
 
"Nuh uh.." He mumbled teasingly. "I love you the most." He said quietly.


Before Haru could say anything else, there was a knock at the front door. Rin had come by to visit the two and make sure they were doing alright since he hadn't had much contact with Makoto since they found Haru. With him he brought Nagisa who was excited to see Haru again.


//do you wanna rp Nagisa? xD
 
"Mmm, I don't wanna get it." Makoto groaned, nuzzling closer to Haru. "After what happened with our last guest, I wouldn't mind not opening that door ever again," he mumbled.


He did care who it was, he did not want to stop snuggling Haru just because someone wanted to see him. It wasn't like him to act so...stubborn. But when he was this comfortable with Haru, everything changed.
 
Haru blushed and sighed. "It could be important though Makoto.." He mumbled, not wanting to keep Makoto away from any pressing matters though he did fear that whoever it was would end up acting just like his parents did.


Rin huffed and knocked on the door again. "Makoto!" He said, waiting for the other to finally answer.
 
Makoto let out a defeated sigh. "Fine, fine, I'll go." He slid away from Haru and got back on his feet. Before he left, however, he left a quick peck on Haru's cheek, "Hang tight. I'll be right back."


Makoto shuffled to the door, instantly recognizing the semi-pissed voice from the other side of the door. Once again not bothering to look through the peep hole, Makoto opened the door. "Okay, okay, I'm here- eh? Nagisa?"


Sure enough, the peppy ray of sunshine (and possibly Iwatobi Swim's personal mascot) Nagisa was standing next to Rin, eager to come in. As always, he wore a large smile that let people know that whatever it was he was thinking about, it made him happy. "...and Rin," Makoto added, not wanting to leave his friend out of the greeting. "What's up?"
 
Haru blushed at that and put a hand on his cheek, waiting for Makoto to come back and trying to listen to what was happening. He hoped that everything was okay and it wasn't anything bad.


Rin huffed and crossed his arms. "You barely talked to me since Haru came back and we both wanted to see him... I know he went through some rough stuff, what exactly I'm not sure.. But it's not fair for you to keep the idiot all to yourself so I decided if I had to I'd barge in here so I could at least say hello."
 
"Yeah!" Nagisa chimed in, "You've gotta share Haru-chan because we love him too! No hogging!"


"...yeah. Come on in, you two," said the brunette with an awkward smile. "I can't promise that he'll let you see him, but we can give it a try."


Seeing as how Rin and Nagisa were both close friends of Haru, Makoto figured that Haru would be more open to seeing them. He could be wrong, though...


"Ah! Nagisa! Put Saba-hime down!" exclaimed Makoto when he noticed Nagisa swinging the cat around to make her "fly".


"Her name is Saba-hime?" Nagisa asked, his pink eyes practically sparkling. "That's cute! Actually, now that I think about that, Saba-hime be a good nickname for Haru-chan!"

Haru blinked when he heard Rin and Nagisa, part of him really wanted to see the two but another part of him was scared and nervous, knowing he still looked terrible and he didn't want them to see him in such a pitiful state. He sunk into the covers a bit so only his eyes and the top of his head were peeking out, wanting to talk to Makoto before anyone was let in.


Rin snorted at the name. "Well, yeah, Makoto named the cat specifically thinking of Haru. Does he know that yet Makoto?" He asked with a toothy smirk finding this funny. Now that their old friend was back he felt he could make some light of the situation.
 
"I, uh, haven't told him. But he's not stupid so he could've figured it out already." said Makoto.


Makoto rescued Saba-hime from Nagisa's torment and held her in his arms. Nagisa pouted at this, but still relinquished the cat.


"Can we see Haru-chan, Mako-chan? Pleeeeeeeease?" asked Nagisa. He had clasped his hands and looked at him with big, round, puppy dog eyes. Even as an adult, the action was still pretty damn cute. Not that Makoto would ever tell him that or anything...


"I'll go see if he's ready for company," Makoto started, "Again, no promises." With his cat still in his arms, Makoto walked into the bedroom where he'd left Haru.


Part of him wanted to crawl back into the bed and pretend he didn't have guests to entertain, but he ignored that part. Instead, he did what he said and asked Haru. "Hey, Rin and Nagisa are here and they're asking to see you. Do you think you're up for company?"
 
Haru watched as Makoto entered the room, relaxing when the other was asking if it was okay rather than bringing them in.


"..what it they think I look terrible?" He asked nervously, peeking up at Makoto and chewing his lip. He didn't know yet what he wanted to do.


Rin was a bit impatient, letting out a small huff when Makoto left the room.
 
Nagisa kept up his usual peppy attitude until Makoto left the room. Then, and only then, Nagisa said the one thing he'd been thinking since Makoto had first opened the door "Mako-chan has changed a lot since I last saw him," Nagisa noted with a soft voice, "He was so lost and angry when Haru disappeared. But now...now he's starting to remind me of how he was when we were all still in high school." He looked at Rin, "What do you think?"


...


"They're our friends, I'm sure they won't say anything about the way you look," Makoto assured, "But if you don't want to see them, I'll tell them to come back some other time. It all depends on how you're feeling." He gave Haru's an encouraging smile that said that no matter what he Haru picked, Makoto would still love him.
 
Rin sighed. "Yeah... I guess that's what happens to you when you lose your other half.. The worst in you comes out." He said, despite Makoto not being that bad, it was probably one of the worst states Makoto could be in when Haru was gone, the one thing keeping him some what like his old self was the hope for Haru to still be alive.


"I just.. Don't want them to think I'm pathetic... I mean, I can't even walk on my own.." Haru mumbled nervously.
 
"Yeah..." Nagisa mumbled. "Yeah, you're right. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost Rei-chan. Ne, Rin, do you know what happened to Haru-chan? Like...like what they did to him?" He didn't want to ask, but he also didn't want to be left in the dark. Haru was his friend after all, and he wanted to be able to support him.


~*~


"They don't have to know that you can't walk- I could bring them in here." said Makoto with a calculated expression, "But I think the more important thing is the way they'll react. They've been worried about you for as long as I have, so if anything, they'll probably just be relieved to see you alive. I know I was."
 
Rin looked away and ran a hand through his hair. "I don't know exactly what happened...just it was bad... The guy really screwed him up.."


Haru chewed his lip but after a moment made a hesitant nod. "...okay... You can bring them in.." He mumbled, despite nervous he wanted to comfort his friends a little by knowing he was alive.
 
"Okay," said Makoto, giving Haru's leg a squeeze. He left the room and found Nagisa and Rin, who were talking quietly in the living room. When Nagisa saw Makoto, he immediately cut off his conversation and turned to face Makoto with a smile bright enough to light a dark room.


"Mako-chan! You're back!" he exclaimed.


Makoto smiled and pretended like the sudden outburst hadn't scared the crap out of him. "Yeah. Haru's ready for you now so you can follow me."
 
Haru relaxed a little when Makoto did that and watched as he left.


Rin jumped at Nagisa's outburst. "Calm down. You're going to blow out my eardrums.." He said and relaxed hearing they could see Haru.


"Alright, is there anything we shouldn't do or say?" Rin asked, knowing Haru was in a very fragile state right now
