My sister gave me the idea for this. And we all need more Rei/Nagisa in our lives. This will probably end up being a short fic, just to explode all my feels into because of Free!: Eternal Summer.
Rei rolled over in his bed, the thuds against the wall of his room woke him up. He groaned, rubbing his eyes he reached over for his mobile phone to check the time. His eyes widened immediately when he read the screen that said it was two in the morning. On a Thursday no less. Rei rolled over and shoved a pillow over his head, trying to drown out the sounds of his room-mate and whoever the hell he brought home this time's moaning. As he stretched his arm out to put his phone back on the bed side table, Rei heard someone call out his room-mate's name. As awkward as it was, it was even more awkward at the fact that it was a guy calling out the name. Scrunching his face, Rei pulled the blanket up and over his head, he had no idea his friend swung that way. Then again, Nagisa Hazuki was always managing to surprise him.
As he sleepily shuffled out of his room, Rei rubbed his temple as he swayed over to the kitchen. He had been up for most of the night because of Nagisa and his friend, so he estimated he had only gotten maybe, four hours of sleep in total. Running his hands through his hair, Rei was caught off guard when he bumped into something in the kitchen. Fixing up his glasses, he looked to see a stranger standing practically naked except for an apron on in the kitchen.
"Oh, sorry. You must be Nagisa's room-mate, you hungry? I'm making breakfast." The guy smiled as if nothing was wrong with the current picture.
Rei just stood there, his eyes slowly travelling down until he glanced at the guy's ass, and immediately went red in the face. It was too early in the morning to be seeing another guys butt. And it was even worse to know that this was a normal occurrence in the Rei/Nagisa apartment. Rei used to jump around and make a scene, yelling at Nagisa while pushing the girl out of the apartment. Yes, Rei was usually asking women to leave the apartment. So he was completely shocked last night to hear another male's voice.
Rei said nothing, just staring dumbly at the guy in the kitchen. He was about to turn around when he felt Nagisa jump on his back and Rei huffed as he was jolted forward by the sudden weight, "Hng, Nagisa! Get off! After last night I'm exhausted and there is a naked man in our kitchen!"
"I'm wearing an apron?" The guy tugged at the material and Rei looked away, not wanting to see any more than he already had.
Rei's face was growing redder and redder and Nagisa hopped off his back, "Oh Rei, calm down. We weren't that loud were we?" Nagisa poked his tongue out as he skipped to the male in the kitchen, planting a sloppy kiss on his cheek.
Rei shivered at the scene. Honestly, his room-mate had no shame or regard for anyone else for that matter. And, it's not like Rei was jealous of all the beautiful women Nagisa would usually bring home, Rei didn't have time for that stuff. Well, that's the reason he gave himself. But this, this was getting ridiculous.
"I swear Nagisa, one day I'm going to move out and you won't know what to do!" Rei turned swiftly and hurried to his room, shutting the door behind him.
A soft knock on the door woke Rei up from his nap. He had the same nightmare again, the rain and the flashing lights screamed at him in his mind. The constant yelling, the crying and the pain. The nightmares were becoming more and more frequent. The blue haired male wiped the drool from his chin and groaned, "What?"
"Can I come in?" A soft, innocent voice came from behind the door and Rei smiled slightly.
"Yeah, come on in." Lifting himself from his bed, Rei stretched his arms out and watched as Nagisa opened the door and poked his head through.
"I made you these. As an apology for last night and this morning." Nagisa shuffled in whilst carrying a plate of cookies. Cookie that he knew Rei loved.
Rei chuckled softly as Nagisa sat down on his bed, setting the plate on the side table. Nagisa must have known something was wrong, because he tilted his head with the look he always gave Rei specifically.
"You had a nightmare. Again, didn't you?" Nagisa's reddish eyes studied Rei.
Rei knew that he couldn't fake an excuse, Nagisa knew him too well for that, "I did. It's getting too much. It's taking it's toll." As he spoke, Rei felt a lump in his throat and tears forming in his eyes, reliving the memories over and over again, was a horrible feeling.
Rei took off his glasses as he sniffled, wiping away at his eyes, turning his face away, "Don't look at me. It's embarrassing Nagisa."
Nagisa smiled, and wrapped his arms around his friend, leaning his head on his shoulder, "It's okay Rei-chan. I've seen you cry before. It's all okay."
And with those words, Rei let out his cries, leaning in to Nagisa.
