[It takes all of Makoto's self-control to not burst out laughing again, but it's impossible to keep his amusement off his face. He wouldn't be able judge normal-Haru as much for being moody, that much was for sure. But Makoto is still determined to gently ease in answers to some of Haru's unasked questions, so he's plenty prepared to deal with any form of pout this small Haru could throw at him.]
Alright. We can go to the swim club to swim then, though it was recently remodeled so it's a little different than what you remember.
[Makoto offers his hand first without thinking--it's what he did with Haru countless times when they were young and what he does for his little siblings all the time now--but he has to wonder if Haru will even take it. He certainly would if they were still young, but this dynamic already seems to have the other on the defense.]
