Rei was sat in his room trying to focus his thoughts on the books in front of him but every time he thought he had succeeded, a certain small blond boy would rush to the front of his mind, making him forget what he was doing. He sat back in his chair and sighed, pushing his glasses up his nose as he did so.
After a few moments of staring at nothing and trying his hardest to think of nothing, a sudden blast of music cut through the air. It took a moment for Rei to realise that it was his phone announcing that he had a message. He picked it up, frowning as he did so, and looked at it, "Nagisa?!" He must've changed his ringtone whilst I wasn't looking.
Nagisa's ringtone had originally been the standard bleep of a text message being received that could be mistaken for anyone's phone going off if you were in a crowded area, it would seem, however, that the mischievous blond had changed it to Booty Man by Tim Wilson. Rei flushed a deep red I should change it before anyone else hears it… The implications of that could certainly be awkward and he resigned himself to do it later.
Hey Rei-chan!x
He smiled as he read the text. After all, Nagisa was the one who refused to leave his mind and let him study.
Good morning, Nagisa-kun.
How are you today!~ (≧∇≦)/
Rei chuckled slightly at his friend's joyful mood.
I am fine, thank you. How are you?
\(^O^)/ I'm great! Hey hey, we should hang out today!x
He blushed as he thought about spending the day with Nagisa, thinking about how the blond always managed to get overly excited no matter what they were doing. He really did want to spend time with him and he was sure that if he was by his side he would be more able to concentrate on his work, but Nagisa wouldn't like studying very much.
I am studying, Nagisa.
(* ̄m ̄) That sounds so boring Rei-chan… oh well *sigh sigh* x
You could come over and study with me if you wanted…
Rei nervously debated whether to hit send or not as he thought that Nagisa probably wouldn't want to do something as boring as studying. After a couple of minutes of stressing over whether or not to send it he finally hit the button that would decide how the rest of his day progressed. He received the reply almost immediately.
( ;  ̄Д  ̄) I guess I could, should I come over now? X
As long as you promise to bring your books, yes. Don't just fill your bag with food like last time.
I can still bring food though right? hehe (*≧∇≦) x
Rei sighed softly and decided not to press his point of not bringing any food too much because he knew Nagisa would just bring all he can fit in his bag anyway.
If you really cannot function without it. But I do have food here you know. Food that is better for you and not laden with sugar.
But your food doesn't taste as good!x
Pure sugar is not food, Nagisa.
Yeah it is uwu don't worry xx
Nagisa… Please don't just bring sugar again… I'm not sure I can deal with your hyperactivity.
Awww come on but I have loads of sweets! Can I bring cakes?x
I suppose cakes are better than sweets…
YAAAAY! I'll be over in a minute then~ uwu x
Rei sighed as he placed his phone down. Just texting Nagisa was exhausting sometimes so he didn't know how he was going to be able to make the blond study at all. He surveyed his orderly room, I should clean up before Nagisa gets here. He spent the couple of minutes which it would take Nagisa to get to his home, tidying his already tidy room.
He was so absorbed in the task at hand that he almost didn't hear the loud banging on the door and the child-like scream of "Rei-chan let me in!" But when the sound pierced into his brain, he immediately bounded towards the door shouting that he was on his way. He straightened himself out before opening the door to his visitor who barged his way inside before he had the chance to invite him in. He watched as Nagisa passed him with a, "Hey Rei!"
All he could do was blink and push his glasses back onto his face, "Good morning, Nagisa-kun…"
Nagisa beamed back at Rei, "Good morning!" He replied cheerfully, "Guess what!"
Rei closed the door and a wary look passed over his face, those two words spelt trouble he could feel it in his bones, "…What?"
Nagisa smiled brightly, "I forgot my books. Oops," he seemed proud of this fact and just smiled sweetly at Rei, "so I guess we have to share~"
Rei closed his eyes and frowned as he listened to Nagisa, "You really must learn not to forget things so easily!" He sighed deeply, "Please tell me you didn't just fill you bag with cakes…" At this Nagisa pulled his bag behind him slightly as he protested that he most definitely hadn't done that. Rei wasn't fooled in the least and he folded his arms across his chest as he raised one eyebrow and frowned down at the pink eyed boy, "Nagisa… Open the bag." He reluctantly handed the bag to Rei, pouting as he did so. Rei looked at Nagisa as he unzipped the bag, "Is there anything you want to tell me before I look inside here?" He cocked an eyebrow.
"I… Got loads of sweets and cakes," Nagisa looked at the floor apologetically, "even though you told me not to, sorry…"
Rei sighed as he handed Nagisa back his heavy rucksack, that was encumbered with treats, without looking inside. "I guess you can eat a few of them whilst we study, just try not to make a mess." He headed towards his room as Nagisa followed murmuring his apologies at bringing treats and forgetting his books. "It's okay, Nagisa." He interrupted as he let him into his room, "Just… take a seat and don't get crumbs everywhere."
Rei watched Nagisa sit on the floor next to the small table before snapping back to attention and grabbing his books from the desk. "What are we gonna study?" Nagisa smiled up at him as he settled down next to the smaller boy.
"I was thinking we could start with maths" He pulled some of the maths books towards them.
"Eeh… I'm really bad at maths." Nagisa groaned audiably, "Will you help me?"
"That's what you came here for, right?" As he reached across to pull the other books over, he brushed against Nagisa's arm and a slow blush crept its way up his neck as his heart beat quickened. Nagisa's face was also becoming slightly pink as he mumbled a reply. "Nagisa-kun, are you okay? Do you have a fever?" Rei started to get a little panicky and refused to acknowledge the fact that his own face was much, much pinker than Nagisa's.
"I'm fine… I don't have a fever… Your face is pretty red too though." Rei chuckled nervously at Nagisa's words, forgetting himself for a moment, before he returned quickly to the task at hand. Nagisa looked away in attempt to cover his blush. "U-um yeah, you can just explain anything… I don't really get maths…"
Rei looked down at the table and chose a book on quadratic equations. He flipped it open to the first page and began to explain how to do them. He got absorbed in explaining and didn't notice Nagisa watching him and not paying attention to anything he was saying. "… Do you think you can do that?" Rei looked up and frowned at him, "Were you listening?"
Nagisa laughed forcedly as he tried to convince Rei that he had been listening but this just made Rei frown worriedly at him, "Nagisa-kun, are you sure you're alright?" He placed his hand on Nagisa's forehead to check his temperature which rose as Rei raised his hand, "You're a little warm…"
"I'm not sick! Don't worry about it!" Nagisa protested as his face got brighter. This answer just made Rei's frown deeper as he removed his hand from his forehead and asked Nagisa if he needed to lie down for a bit, to which the smaller boy just hid his face under his hair and told Rei to keep explaining.
Rei turned his attention reluctantly back to the book in front of him and continued his explanation. Nagisa tried hard to listen but was still unable to concentrate on what Rei was saying as he admired how absorbed he was getting. "…And that's all there is to it." Nagisa managed to zone back in just as Rei was finishing the explanation, "Now you try." Rei handed Nagisa his pencil and their hands brushed slightly which made both of the boys cheeks redden.
"Do I do it like this?" Nagisa was unsure because he hadn't listened to Rei's explanation at all and so was mildly surprised when Rei confirmed that what he was doing was right and his blush darkened. When he'd finished the problem he asked Rei if he'd done it correctly and Rei pulled the problem towards him, the hue of red in his cheeks fading slightly as he looked at Nagisa's work.
He pondered over the problem for a while, knowing it wasn't quite right and trying to pinpoint where he had gone wrong. "N-not quite, you've just got to make one change here…" He pointed to an area of Nagisa's working out that was particularly messy.
"Oh right… Sorry…" Nagisa's cheeks turned pink.
"Don't apologise, it's my fault for not explaining properly. Here, give me the pencil, I'll show you." He swallowed as he reached for the pencil.
"It's not your fault…" Nagisa faltered, "You explained it really well… I just can't concentrate because…" He trailed off, his cheeks flaming.
"If you're going to start a sentence you should finish it, Nagisa."
"I know I should… I just don't know how to explain it…"
Rei looked at the book in front of him, thinking it will probably be easier for Nagisa to talk if he's not looking at him, "Just say what you're thinking and I'll try my hardest to understand."
Nagisa turned an even brighter shade of pink, "I… Uh… I can't concentrate with you here…" He swallowed before continuing, "You're the only thing on my mind right now…"
"N-Nagisa-kun?!" Rei's face flamed up and he did his best impression of a tomato, "W-what do you mean?!"
Nagisa hid his face from Rei as he stammered, "I think I like you…" He looked up as Rei stood up swiftly, hitting his legs on the table and falling over, "Rei, what's wrong…?"
He hid his face in the carpet, "Nagisa-kun…" Nagisa started to panic, asking if he was alright. "D-don't tease me by saying things like that, Nagisa-kun." He whispered into the carpet.
Nagisa stood up shouting, "I'm not teasing! Do you think this is a joke?!" He ran out, leaving his bag behind and ignoring Rei as he looked up at him yelling for him to wait. Rei grabbed Nagisa's bag and ran out after him.
