RenxReira. Haha please don't kill me. I decided to do these two because no one else has wrote about this pairing. Anyways, this will be a short one-shot.
Disclaimer: I do not own NANA
"Hey Ren.. isn't the snow beautiful?" Reira softly whispered with her hands out.
Ren silently stared at the slowly falling white specks, mesmerized by the scenery. The snow reminded him of Nana. Nana… Nana's bright smile, pale smooth skin, glistening eyes full of life and determination, raspy voice, and-
"Oof!" A snowball hit him right in the side of the head, knocking off his glasses to the side. As another one came flying towards him, he had enough time to block it with his forearm.
"Hehehe~" Reira giggled and plopped onto the snow then moved her arms and legs up and down, making a snow angel. Nose and cheeks red from the cold with snow particles in her hair, Reira looked like an angel herself. It was easy to spread her wings here, the snow calmed her nerves and it was their hometown. Their memories lay here, it was their starting point. The beach was always their spot to come to when things got overwhelming. Ren thought of the time when he and Nana came here to enjoy themselves. With a soft sigh, he looked down at Reira, still enjoying the snow. He took this chance to gather up a pile of snow, melding them together to make a snowball, and chucked it at her. It landed spot on her nose and splattered all over her face. She immediately sprung up, pouting like a child.
"Hey!" In the process of wiping the snow out of her eyes, another snowball was thrown at her.
"Eep!" The sight of her covered in snow, looking dumb and helpless as ever made him heartily laugh and fall onto the snow.
With a frustrated grunt, Reira took a bunch of snow in her arms, walked over to Ren's defenseless body and dropped it all over his face. It was amusing.
"Mmmmfh!" he sputtered, got up and tackled her onto the snow, grabbed a bunch of it and proceeded to dump it all over her. The two spent the next few minutes throwing snow at eachother.
After that, they lay down next to eachother worn out.
"Ren.. isn't this peaceful? I feel like I could fall asleep right here."
"Yeah…" Shutting his eyes, he felt like this was the most calming moment of his life. The cold didn't bother him, as he was used to it, he embraced it and let it spread all over his body. The snow piled up on the two bodies as they continued to lay there. Ren felt Reira's small hand on his.
"Yet it makes me feel kind of lonely." She quietly laughed. "I think of Takumi everytime I see snow. I wonder why? After all, he's nothing like snow." Ren didn't know what to say and instead wrapped his hand around hers.
She doesn't need Takumi or Shin to feel happy. After all, she had him. He wouldn't leave her alone. He hesitated to turn his head to look at Reira. As he saw her face, her eyes were shut and she had a content smile on her face. He softly smiled at the sight. She slowly opened her mouth to mutter some words. A soft tune came out. Her voice was smooth and silky and Ren really thought she was an angel blessed from the heavens.
"It keeps coming back to me… I remember this pain…" The words were in English so Ren couldn't understand what she was saying. It had a melancholic feel to it.
"... It spreads across my eyes, everything is dull. Everyone's smiling, they're… smiling." There was a hint of pain in her voice yet it was beautiful because she was singing it. Ren could feel his body drifting off into bliss as Reira's voice slowly faded into distance.
