3. Loss



"____-chan? Hey, you okay?" Makoto looks at you with concern.

"Huh?" you snap out of your daydreaming and smile up at him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking."

Today you're invited to hang out with Makoto, who is willing enough to play "tour guide" and show you around the town. A lot of shops and buildings remain the same, but a few new eateries and attractions opened up. A once humble beachside town is slowly booming into a tourist destination.

"I'm glad we're hanging out, Makoto. It's been lonely," you say.

"Really?"

"Yeah..."

Makoto observes the change in your demeanor. You used to smile all the time during high school and he notices that it doesn't come as easy for you. You're aware of his gaze on you and look up to see his expression.

"What, is there something on my face?" you raise an eyebrow at him.

He shakes his head. "No, I just want to make sure your happy."

You take a deep breath and take his hand. "Let's take a break."

You both walk over to a bench and sit down facing the beach. You watch the ocean waves calm down as the sun beams high above. Makoto notices you not letting go of his hand and looks back at the expression on your face.

"I'm alone now, Makoto."

Makoto doesn't understand. He doesn't want to hurt you with his choice of words, opting to remain quiet and allow you to speak.

"My parents passed away while I was in college. I thought with the move to Tokyo my father would seek the necessary treatment for his illness, but... it worsened. He passed away within my first year of college. Less than a year later, my mother passed away. I think the loss of my father was too much for her to handle," you trail off and let go of Makoto's hand. You begin to choke back a sob before you start wiping your tears. "I'm sorry. I thought moving back here would help me become strong again, but it's only making things worse."

Makoto reaches in his pocket and hands you a handkerchief, feeling his heart break to see you cry.

You look at Makoto and see his eyes start to well up too. "Makoto-kun..."

"Here, take it. You need it," he smiles sadly as he begins to understand your pain. "Why don't you keep it? This way when you look at it you're reminded that you aren't alone. By looking at this you're reminded that I'm always here for you. No... not just me, but everyone--Haru, Nagisa, and all of our friends--are here to support you."

You slowly take the handkerchief and stare at it for a moment. You look back up at him and lean in, burying your head against his chest. "T-thank you, I needed to hear that..."

Makoto gently rubs your back as he holds you closer, resting his chin on top of your head. Your sobbing calms down as you gain a sense of security within his comfort. You two remain in each other's arms for a while.
So this gave insight on why rea-tan moved back to Iwatobi. Makoto to the rescue! Isn't he sweet? (:
