This was actually kinda…cool? Makoto wasn’t really close with an other guys other than Gou, Rin’s little brother and manager of the team, so it was a little change for her—-plus, this was Haruka.

❝ Hey, Haruka——do you want to come over and play some video games or watch a movie? ❞ 

This could be a great chance to bond with him. 

Well actually.. a movie sounds good.. Video games were possible as well.. Guess despite their gender differences, they were still pretty much the same especially Makoto; though she did look shorter than the said male orca but nonetheless she is pretty tall compared to any ordinary girl.. Staring passively at the other, the dolphin turn his head away and silently gesture his approval at the suggestion by walking ahead of her.. She should be able to get and understand that he wanted her to show the way.

( makoto! )

❝ B-but—— you’re a boy! ❞

There was no doubt in Makoto’s mind that this person was in fact her best friend Haruka, but the only difference was that Haru was a guy. Feeling a little flustered from her findings, she smiled immediately and clasped her hands together. 

❝ Well, this certainly is pretty weird, but  even if you are a boy, that doesn’t change anything.❞ 

Sure, now she couldn’t pick out dresses for Haruka and things of that nature, but it’s not a total loss.  

Hadn't he been a 'boy' since he was born though. Nonetheless, the dolphin had decided to drop the topic, Silencing himself at the matter. Albeit following words did took his attention slightly, a nod in approval. No wonder she had this sense of familiarity around her in which Haruka find so nostalgic.. Makoto had always been the person whom he can openly open up to without saying anything. The orca after all had amazing ability of deciphering his stoic visage with ease and actually, it does amaze the freestyler at some point. Well, not that he'll admit something like that publicly.

( makoto? )

❝ I’m not a guy. ❞

Confusion filled her thoughts as her now widen eyes stared at this guy. Maybe….this wasn’t her best friend like she thought? Maybe she was dreaming that Haruka was a….boy? 

❝ I think I might be mistaken. My best friends name is Haruka Nanase and she’s a girl. We both swim on the Iwatobi swim team where I’m the captain and she’s the vice captain. You wouldn’t happen to be related to her, would you? ❞  

A long silence was created in correspondence to her statement, brows knitting medially in confusion. Now that was odd. Har was an only child and a male clearly. With the definition she had give, the person did sound like him; other than the fact that she was a girl that is.

                  "---- I am Haruka Nanase.."

「⁑」     

              ‘Apparently getting an idiot out of a fish tank. Definitely didn’t expect to say that sentence anytime soon.’

Bluish oculars squinted itself at the silhouette in front of him before he glance away, a slight pout to indicate he was sulking. He was not doing anything so why did he have to be pull up.

[mizunx]

"Mizu-chan." Said with a bright smile. Cool, no? He was sure the other would love it.

Alright. Maybe it did manage to capture his attention; the word given being something he love other than the orca, but that doesn't really mean he would come to like the feline as well..Or probably he was slowly opening up to her.

[mizunx]

"Haru! I have a new name for Haru-chan."

He's having conflicted and bad feeling about this..

               "--- What is it, Makoto?"

[rroyalties]

"As long as Makoto is there, it’s good enough."

[mizunx]

( stranger! )

「⁑」     

              Grabs his arm.               Pulls.

Got pull out from the tank out of his will, eyes quinting with judgement at the other.

                "--- What are you doing?"

[mizunx]

( makoto? )

It was an odd statement for her to hear. How could her best friend from childhood not know who she was? Maybe she was sick or hit her head and forgot about her——now that idea was frightening to think about. 

❝ I’m Makoto. We’re best friends?  Did you hurt yourself? Do you really not remember me? ❞

Now that she thinks about it, Haruka was dressed like a boy….. 

❝ Are you….playing tricks on me? ❞

Makoto, she says. Best friend, she states. How was that possible when as far as his knowledge is concern, the said orca was a male who has a girly name as his and clearly not a female at all.. Bluish oculars directly surveying the silhouette in front of him, twin folds finally parting to speak.

               "--- Makoto is a guy with a girls name.."

[mizunx]

( makoto! )

Predictable. Knowing the dolphin’s favorite

aliment, it was obvious their dinner would be related with certain fish. However, the taller didn’t mind. Haruka was helping with the kitten to allow him focus on his studied, and deserved a reward, maybe also a gift in advance, which consisted in a soft kiss over the forehead of the shorter.

               “All the mackerel you want.”

The kiss did feel nice, rosy tint dusting over his cheeks before he motion his free hand to flick the others nose.

               "--- Go back to studying.."

He'll take care of all the responsibility while he's gone to attend himself to his home works and such; that includes taking and playing with the cat, cooking and preparing the table. He had a free day so he wasn't really that exhausted.

[mizunx]

( makoto! )

Expression soon relaxing to give space to a shining smile, picking the tiny cat with his hands to raise her carefully, extending it towards the raven then. Don’t worry, Haru. He likes you a lot too.

                “Thank you. I owe you                   one. What aboit eating                   together once I’m done.”

Limbs wrapping at the small figure on top, bluish oculars staring directly at it before his gaze slowly return to his partner; audible sigh escaping in acceptance of his defeat. However his proposition did manage to lit up the freestyler, stoic visage still intact albeit one could notice the anticipation he was experiencing.

              "-- Mackerel... I want mackerel."

[mizunx]

( makoto! )

             “Aw, don’t be like that.”

C’mon, just for a while? There is a lot he had to study for tomorrow and the kitty needed some attention. Can’t you do it for him, at least?

Bluish optics narrowing his gaze at his partner, an audible sigh slip off his lips before extending his own limbs toward the other. You are lucky he likes you so much to leave you on your own. He was the one who picked it up so shouldn't he shoulder the burden of taking care of it?

「⁑」     

              ‘Dude. Get outta the fish tank. If you’re gonna soak in it, then you might as well buy it.’

Shakes head. Unless you pull him off and take him away from the water then he'll continue to force his way into it. And he wouldn't really go that far as to buy it. He has a tub back in his home which he can use after all.

[mizunx]

( makoto! )

            “Haru, do you have practice               today? Can you help with               Haru-chan for a while?”

                "--- No."

If he rejected the idea before, what made you think he'll change his mind now Makoto? Continues to drink his water.

[mizunx]

( stranger! )

「⁑」     

              ‘That’s way too tiny to swim in!’                             Mayu, don’t even try. He’s still gonna try to swim.

Nods eventually before returning at the fish tank to dip himself yet again. He won't swim, he'll just stay there to wet himself. That should be fine right?

[mizunx]

( stranger! )

「⁑」     

              ‘It’s a fish tank. You’re in public.’

              "---- Your point?"

And there you see a senseless Haruka who couldn't even care about what others think. He just wants to swim.

              ‘…Did you just attempt to swim in a fish tank?’

               "--- There was water.."
