Makoto holds the door to his place open for me. I walk inside and take off my shoes at the door. He smiles at me, doing the same. I spot the camera in my handbag. My cheeks burn.

~(^v^)~ Flashback ~(^v^)~

"I DARE YOU AOI-CHAN!" Mei-chan grins. "TO DO THE MOE SLEEVE THING! WITH SOMETHING OF MAKOTO'S!"

"AND I DARE YOU TO MAKE IT HIS IWATOBI SWIM TEAM JACKET!" Ami-chan adds.

"ALSO, I DARE YOU TO SET UP A CAMERA SO WE CAN SEE HIS REACTION!"

"IF YOU DON'T DO IT IN TWO WEEKS THEN YOU HAVE TO DO A PENALTY GAME!" Fubuki declares. My face palens.

~(^v^)~ End Of Flashback ~(^v^)~

Friday marked the two weeks. However, I was off of campus so I have until the end of today to do that. Most guys are perverted. They'll want me to do something in my swimsuit. Why are guys so immature?

"Mind if we go upstairs?" I ask.

"Whatever you want." he smiles sweetly. "Would you like a drink?"

"Yes please." I nod.

"Alright, I'll see you upstairs." Makoto kisses my forehead.

I make my way up to Makoto's room and put the camera on autotimer and switch off the flash. I spot his Iwatobi High Swim Club jacket and put it on, posing cutely just as the camera tkes a shot. I sit on the floor of Makoto's room. Man, I love his room. There are photographs all over the wall. Ones from his whole life are frames and cover the walls. Ones as early as when he first joined Iwatobi SC; there is one of us up there from when he swam in that relay with Rin and I swam and won the girls butterfly race. I giggle as my eyes scan over the pictures. There are lots with Haru, of course there are though; Haru and Makoto are best friends.

"Oh Makotoooo!" I call. I hear him coming up the stairs. I can also hear the camera taking pictures. It's positioned perfectly so that both of us will fit in the shot however mainly him.

The door swings open. I giggle. He glances at me and yelps.

"Look! Moe sleeve!" I snigger.

His face heats up. As does mine.

"Cute isn't it?" I grin, standing up. His face is on fire and he's looking away from me.

"Makoto?" I ask. "Are you...alright?"

I look him in the eyes. He looks really guilty. I tilt my head in confusion. That's when I see his hand. My eyes widen and I take off the jacket immediately. His nose!

DAMMIT MEI! THEY'LL SEE PICTURES OF MAKOTO WITH A NOSEBLEED!

I head into the bathroom and grab some tissue for Makoto's nose. He takes it and cleans his face up. He's blushing to the tips of his ears but he thankfully hasn't seemed to notice the camera.

"Makoto I'm sorry!" I yelp. I can't believe I gave him a nosebleed!

"It's not your fault!" he shakes his head. "You were just trying to be sweet! It's my fault!"

I hug Makoto.

"It's mine!" I murmur into his shirt.

...

After we've settled down on Makoto's bed, trying to forget the moe sleeve nosebleed thing, the two of us just talk. I'm on his lap and he's cradeling me, I am that small.

"Makoto...you want to go to that University." I state.

"Huh?" he asks.

"You clearly want to go." I smile at him. "I'm not mad or hurt. I just thought it was obvious."

"Really?" he tilts his head.

"Makoto, you said that your parents went to Tokyo, they're clearly checking out the capus. Have you heard from the school? It's been, what five weeks?"

"They've organised a tour for my parents. If I get a place, the negotiations about what the university will provide are to be in place. They've offered so much!"

"OH MY GOSH!" I kiss him on the cheek and hug him. "They are really considering you a place! I'm so happy for you! Aren't you excited?"

"I guess...there's just so much I would be leaving. Haru got scouted for that University and brushed it off."

"Haru is stronger than you give him credit for Makoto." I giggle.

"I know that. But...we've been through thick and thin together. I don't want to leave him on his own. He doesn't know what he is persuing. I don't want to leave him in the dark. That's not fair."

"Is that why he doesn't know what you are doing?" I ask.

Makoto blushes and rubs the back of his neck. "I will tell him."

"Good." I smile.

"I'm glad that you are fine with this Aoi." Makoto smiles warmly.

"Don't doubt me! I'll miss you like crazy!...But you would do whatever you would need to do for me to succeed. I'm behind you Makoto." I hug him again.

He picks up my chin so I can look into his soft loving green eyes.

"I love you so much." he kisses me.

"I love you more." I smile, eyes fluttering closed as I curl up, I'm sleep deprived; Akira kept us up, yelling at Rei for loving Nagisa.

"Sweet dreams beautiful." he kisses my forehead.

"Love you." I murmur.
