Haru glanced at his best friend, cool glacier eyes watching him. Makoto kept fidgeting with his shirt sleeve. His attention was transfixed on the scene before him. You were laughing and looking through the market stalls with Nagisa and Rei. It was your annual reunion with the Iwatobi swim club. Your boyfriend always loved when you came with him and the other swimming team members adored you! But this one was… Going to be different.
“You know you don’t have to, right?” Haru said bluntly. Makoto’s emerald eyes glanced over.
“W-What was that, Haru?”
“You don’t have to go through with it.”
“I know but… If not now, when?” Makoto asked. He slumped in the outdoor cafe seat, his head hitting the wall behind him.
“When you’re home? I don’t get the big deal about pr-” Haru got interrupted by Makoto’s sudden shushing. “What if she hears you?!” Makoto whispered in a panicked tone.
“She’s over there, she’s not gonna hear you.”
Makoto looked back, watching you admire a handmade vase with the curiosity and excitement on his face that he fell for years ago. He felt around in his backpack. When his fingers brushed the box that contained the engagement ring you thought was beautiful last time you came browsing with him.
The next step was only moments away.
