Haru. Always there for his friends.
when thinking about your ot3, consider this:
• who insists upon taking selfies every time they go somewhere
• who is frowning in the selfies
• who is smushed in the middle during the selfie taking?
Free:
1. Rin
2. Haru
3. Mako
Persona 4:

“Don’t you dare say that about him.”
Someone was talking behind Nagisa’s back, and Rei couldn’t help but physically intervene. He escaped with bruises, cuts, and broken glasses, but at least he was able to protect what was most important to him.
Thank you for requesting badass butterfly, anon!
It’s a passing comment that he hears as he walks down the hallway. It doesn’t bother him, not really. He knows that he can come off as being an annoyance. He’s loud and barely able to sit still, and to some people, that’s just unacceptable.
So it doesn’t bother him.
Not really.
“Nagisa-kun?”
That, however, pushes him over the edge. Hearing Rei’s concern makes his heart hurt. "A-ah, it’s nothing.“
Rei figures it out pretty quickly. Watery eyes. Biting of the lip. And the group of students snickering behind them.
Rei Ryugazaki isn’t known for being a violent man. He is, however, someone who can calculate anything at a frightening speed. For instance, if he turns and slams his fist into one of their faces, he knows that the impact will, indeed, break their nose. He also knows that during the initial shock, he can snap at them before landing another blow. There’s a 99.9 percent chance of Nagisa staring, a 75.2 percent chance of him telling Rei not to fight, especially since they outnumber him and will use that to their advantage. At that point he would only have to last for 15 to 20 seconds before a teacher intervenes. If he’s lucky, it’ll be Amakata-sensei, there’s a 50/50 chance.
Despite his bruises, Rei is impressed that his calculations are spot on.
And later, as Nagisa carefully dabs a towel against the wound on his face, Rei belts out a beautiful string of apologies to the swim team for not being able to practice. However, according to his calculations, the smile on Nagisa’s face is worth it.

Sorry, I just had to, the art is so great and the thought behind it is even better.

Remember this lovely post
Gather around, children, and let me tell you the story about an ad that exploded into a cute, shirtless boy series with a surprising amount of feels.
I got Haru and Rin on my Facebook page for that ship thing!
Who kills the bugs: Haru, but only if they’re near the pool, otherwise he doesn’t care. Rin pretends like he doesn’t care, either, but then he’ll start harassing Haru. “Just kill it already. What are you, scared?” But the truth is Rin hates bugs. He went to Australia and they have spiders like candy stores have candy.
Who hogs the sheets: Haru. He does it on purpose to hear Rin whining, because he finds Rin’s whining to be adorable.
Who hates mornings: Haru, until he gets to the bathtub. Rin’s already outside jogging.
Who’s cranky before they had their coffee: Neither drink coffee, but Haru is cranky until mackerel.
Who’s doesn’t like their mother in law: We never see Haru’s parents, or Rin’s mother, so I’m going to say neither. These two were childhood friends I’m sure their parents have had time to get used to them.
Who drives: Rin. Haru could care less about driving, until Rin suggests driving to the ocean.
Who gets horny in awkward public places: Haru. And he’s incredibly blunt about it. He strips at the site of water, he really has no filter. If he wants Rin he’ll voice it out, in front of everyone, without batting an eye. Rin will try not to blush and he always sounds annoyed but he’s always excited.
Who had a scene phase: Rin. He blames Australia.
Who wore braces: Rin, and he was one of those kids who got different colored bands for them, he gave no fucks he thought they were the coolest thing ever.
Who got bullied: Neither really, they were both well liked as kids and now.
Who collects ceramic elephants: Haru. Rin doesn’t want the house to be overrun by fish things, so Haru starts collecting elephants… because they spray water from their trunks.
the first text post meme i made was mostly humorous and then i slipped in some harumako toward the end but then i thought ‘why not make one completely about harumako’ so here it is
ALSO i am so saddened by all of this recent angst and i know a lot of others are too so pls use these snapshots of haru being madly in love with makoto to soothe ur hearts
*ships it like crazy*
I don’t want to be sad anymore, I want to talk about how baby Makoto was smaller than baby Haru.
I want to talk about Makoto always hiding behind Haru because he was bigger and could protect him from monsters. I want to talk about how even as they grew older Makoto never grew out of this habit. I was to talk about Haru realizing that his best friend is getting bigger than him and starting to doubt whether or not he could still protect Makoto. I want to talk about Makoto getting scared and hiding behind Haru even tho Makoto is much bigger than him and how silly it probably looks, but Haru just lets out a sigh of relief because no matter how much bigger Makoto gets he is still the same.
*cries all over the keyboard*
