Secrets

Baths

Makoto continued to slowly eat his food as he waited for his boyfriend to return.

"What do you want, Kisumi?" Haru grumbled.

"Well, you see." Kisumi began to pace. "When I had my little talk with Mako, I knew that he loved you. It was obvious."

Haru looked away. He looked at anything other than the snake in front of him.

"Anyway, I made a little threat, but seeing as you guys are together now, my threat to get him to admit his feelings isn't needed anymore."

"Where are you going with this?" Haru sighed.

"Like I said, the threat isn't needed anymore... but what's the fun in that?" Kisumi stalked closer to Haru.

Haru backed further and further away. Until his back his the wall.

Kisumi grabbed Haru's face in his hand and forced his lips upon his.

Haru pushed and pushed but Kisumi wouldn't budge.

Kisumi didn't waste any time before he let go of Haru's lips and let his hand trail to his belt.

"No. Kisumi, please." Haru felt panic rise in his chest and Kisumi slipped the belt out of the loops on his pants.

"Okay." Kisumi paused what he was doing. "But on one condition."

Haru gulped and looked up at his lavender eyes.

"Leave Makoto."
————————————————————————
Makoto began to worry. Haru has been gone a while. He got up from his chair and walked to the bathroom.

His hand reached for the door, but it wouldn't budge. It was locked.

He knocked on the door and received no answer. "Haru?" He called.

Haru took a risk as he yelled out. "M-Makoto!"

Makoto could hear the tension in his tone and tried to push open the door.

"Haru! Open the door please!"

Kisumi kept his eyes on Haru but let his eyes flicker elsewhere. Haru lurched forward and was able to unlock the door before Kisumi pushed him back.

Makoto was able to open the door and a rush of adrenaline hit. Makoto didn't like to fight, so he grabbed Haru and ran.

They called a cab quickly and both crawled into the back seat.

"Haru! Are you okay?" Makoto asked as he pushed the hair away from Haru's eyes. "Did he hurt you?"

Haru shook his head no and Makoto stopped worrying so much. "Do you remember what he looked like? I didn't see him. We can file a report though." Makoto began talking at a thousand words per minute.

Haru placed his hand on Makoto's and looked down. "It was Kisumi." Haru whispered.

Makoto remembered the last time that he had been with Kisumi. "He didn't do anything, right?" Makoto panicked.

"No." Haru said quietly. "He wanted me to leave you."

"W-What?" Makoto stuttered anxiously.

"He made a deal with me. He said that if I left you, he wouldn't do anything to me."

"So, are you gonna leave me?" Makoto said in a hushed tone.

"No! Of course not." Haru began passionately. "I-I would get raped over and over again if it meant I could stay with you!"

Haru felt a drop of water land on his hand.
"Haru. I will never let anyone hurt you like that." Makoto vowed.

The boys were finally back at their house. Since Ren and Ran were gone at a friends house, the lights were off and the house wasn't as welcoming as normal.

Makoto payed the taxi cab driver and helped Haru out of the car.

Haru was still a little shaken up and stayed quiet most of the time they were home.

"Hey, I'm gonna take a bath." Makoto told Haru. He stood up from his spot next to Haru on the couch.

Haru quickly reached out and held onto Makoto's arm. "Please." Haru said with a slight whimper. "Please, don't leave me alone."

Makoto felt his heart clench and he grabbed Haru's hands and pulled him up off the couch.

Haru meekly followed behind Makoto like a lost puppy. They entered the bathroom together and Makoto turned warm water on and began to fill the tub.

Makoto pushed his insecurities to the back of his mind as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"Mak-Makoto." Haru's breath hitched slightly.

"What? It's not like we haven't seen each other naked before." Makoto deadpanned. He unbuttoned his jeans and slipped them off and kicked them over by his shirt on the ground.

Makoto felt heat rising to his face. "A-actually.... can you ummmm can you turn around for a second?"

Haru didn't reply as he not only turned around, but closed his eyes as well just in case.
He could hear water splash around slightly as Makoto sank himself into the warm water.

"Can I turn now?" Haru asked quietly.
"Oh, y-yeah."
Haru turned and rolled the legs of his pants up to his knees before he sat on the edge of the tub and put his feet in the water.

"I love you." Makoto spoke.

Haru smiled to himself. "I love you too."
