Summary: As Haru stares out, Nagisa waxes poetry.
"Nagisa," Haruka called out. Well, muttered, more like. After being friends with the darker haired teen for so long, Nagisa could discern even the softest of tones.
"Yes, Haru-chan?" the blond answered, a huge cheerful grin bright upon his lips. He jogged closer to his friend, who was standing near the edge of the pool, as usual, towel strung over his shoulders nonchalantly.
"Don't you think the water is looking exceptionally blue, today?"
Nagisa could feel himself sweat-drop, before he sighed in exasperation. He turned to stare out at the expanse of water before him.
"Yes, Haru," Nagisa bent at the knees, closer to the water than before. The lighting changed along with his shadow, causing his face reflect upon the surface. Nagisa's softened smile shone brighter as he glanced at Haru's matching reflection, waving at it happily.
The water was definitely a pretty color, especially if you were as in love with it as Haru was. He could compare it to sapphires and flowers, if he was a poetic person.
"It really is pretty."
As the distant chatter of their friends continued on, the sky got darker, and the water's overlay remained the same color, Nagisa could only breath in deeply and thank his lucky stars for the mere existence of swimming.
Author's Notes:
First time writing for this fandom, to be honest. Not really sure about this XD
