Makoto x Reader-Cherry Blossoms

You sighed happily, sitting on a bench looking at the cherry blossoms. You loved cherry blossoms, they reminded you of your childhood friend and crush, Makoto Tachibana.

-Flash Back-

At the age of five years old. Your mother had told you that the cherry blossoms were blooming and that they were especially beautiful today, but of course they were to you and your mother, because it was your birthday, your mother said you could look at them, although only if you came right back after looking at them. So of course, being the stupid child you were, you wandered out of the house to look at the blossoms. When you had walked all the way over to the park, you gasped and stared at the tree, full of blossoms, right in front of you. You reached your hand up to pluck a flower from the branches, when you realized you were too short to reach it. You pouted and stared down the tree, as if that would do anything.

You heard a soft, sweet, chuckle behind you. A little boy, who was three years older than you, with dirty blonde hair and kind green eyes, was standing behind you.

He stopped laughing and looked down at you, smiling sweetly. "Nothing."

He reached up, plucked a flower, and handed it back to you. "There you go. Now you should go back to your family, they must be worried."

You stared up at him with glittering eyes. "Mum said I could look at the flowers though."

He put his hand on your head and ruffled your hair gently. "I bet she'd want you back before the sun sets though. I'll walk you home if you want."

You nodded, you gripped the flower he gave you and held out your hand.

He took your hand and you, some-what, dragged him in the direction of your home.

When you had arrived home and opened the door, your mother was quite surprised to see the boy with you. She just smiled at you two. "Did you find a friend when you went to look at the cherry blossoms?"

The boy smiled at your mother. "I'm Makoto Tachibana, nice to meet you Ms..."

She clapped her hands together and smiled. "(l/n). And in case my little girl hasn't introduced herself yet, she's (y/n)."

You shyly let go of Makoto's hand and went to hug your mother. You looked up from burying your face in her clothes. "He gave this flower." You said as you held up the little blossom he plucked form the tree for you.

Makoto scratched the back of his head. "She couldn't reach it so I got it for her. Anyway I'd better head off."

You nodded and turned to him. "You should come play with me another day Makoto-kun!"

He smiled and headed out the door. "Sure, why not (y/n)."

-Flash Back Over-

You and Makoto had been great friends ever since, even though he went to a swimming school, so you didn't get to see him at school.

So now today, since it was your birthday again, you went to look at the cherry blossoms. You had told Makoto to come to the park to look at them with you.

You were swinging your feet back and forth on the bench, waiting in boredom. "Geez, how slow is he?"

"How slow's who?" Makoto popped up behind you and talked right in your ear.

You squeaked and fell of the bench. "Makoto-senpai you meanie! You could approach my like a normal person! You scared me out of my pants!"

He chuckled at you. "You have to admit, I get you every time though. And I thought I told you to call me Makoto-kun." He said after offering a hand to help you up.

You grabbed his hand. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now do you have something to say to me?"

He smiled. "Happy birthday (y/n)-chan. Now I got a question for you. Wanna see the flowers up close?"

You looked up at him in thought. "Up close?"

He smiled brightly. "Yeah. Here." You squeaked as he picked you up by your waist and held you up near the tree.

You batted a hand at his arm. "Lemme-go Makoto!"

He laughed. "That's Makoto-kun to you. Now admire the flowers before I drop you."

You stared at him like he was crazy. "Don't you dare drop me. Just put me down Makoto-kun!"

He laughed again. "I give, I give." He set you down gently.

You crossed your arms and pouted. "Geez, Makoto-kun, you're crazy, I swear!"

He smiled gently at you. "But you love me anyway."

You blushed and looked away from him. "Yeah. Whatever."

He grabbed you hand and intwined his fingers with your own. You blushed as he walked through the blooming trees.

You smiled. "Yeah, I do love you, you idiot."

He looked behind himself at you. "What was that?"

You blushed again. "Nothing."

What a wonderful way to spend a birthday.
