It traces down his spine
like a simple and quick reminder
of who they are
Nagisa is his best friend
even as his hands tickle his back,
sending waves of sparks through his veins
And yet,
he is so much more,
because best friends don't leave
you aching for more
Rei steps closer,
already trying to remember what he'd read about kissing,
but his mind blanks in a steady haze
and all he can do is hold Nagisa closer
and follow his movements
Rei loves this
though he lacks the adequate phrasing
to write it all down
Nagisa always just knows what to do
like some instinct comes out
that was buried deep,
and Rei savors that now.
