Did someone say makoharu wedding headcanons 👀
Makoto thinks of so many different ideas for the proposal, a romantic day at the aquarium, followed by dinner at Haru's favourite restaurant maybe? Or he could take Haru to the ocean for a picnic? Perhaps he should wait until they're back in Iwatobi for the the holidays, so he can propose on their staircase, the one that connected their lives throughout their childhood.
One day, he's pondering how to make the proposal perfect and memorable, making notes for pros and cons for each idea whilst sitting on the sofa, with Haru's on the floor sketching a cat in his art book near him. Their anniversary is coming up, he should do it then, right? It makes sense, it's a special day so something as special as a proposal should be saved for that, right? As he stresses about what to do, he casually glances down at Haru, as he so often does when he just needs to calm down a bit.
And that's when he realises that it doesn't have to be on a specific day. It doesn't have to be a meticulously planned date or even a place that holds memories for them. They don't need external factors, it doesn't have to be flawless. The very act of proposing to Haru, the fact that they will be engaged is perfect. The place and the time absolutely does not matter when the whole point is being able to spend the rest of his life with his bestfriend. That alone will be perfect.
So he puts down his notebook, goes to fetch the ring box from it's hiding place (the sweets jar in the kitchen cupboard that Makoto knows Haru would never go into), and sits down with Haru. Haru looks over at his best friend, and Makoto simply tells him he loves him so much and wants to spend the rest of his life with him. With that he places the open ring box in Haru's hand.
Haru looks at the box and back up at Makoto, and for a moment, just a millisecond, Makoto's whole being is clouded with doubt. A sigh had escaped Haru, and he's looking at him with slight resigned disappointment, as if to say "are you kidding me?"
So when Haru just closes his eyes, stands up and heads to towards their bedroom, he can't help the slight panic rising in him. Now, he's spent a lot of time becoming comfortable and confident in his own actions and feelings. He's spent years acknowledging and accepting that Haru loves him unconditionally and that he never has to doubt and or fight for those feelings. But in that infinitely long moment - which in reality is a mere few seconds - that Haru spends in their shared room, Makoto cannot help the insecurities and anxieties flooding back.
He tries to calm himself quickly as Haru returns, because he knows, he knows in his bones and his soul that Haru loves him just as much as he loves Haru, there is absolutely no need to panic, just calm down, idiot!!
Just seeing him come out of the room, Makoto can feel his presence chase away his anxieties again. As Haru settles himself back next to his best friend, he simply does the same think Makoto did a moment ago, and places an open ring box in Makoto's hand.
ANYWAY u can pry the clichéd double proposal from cold dead hands!!
