Their Life In Drabbles
One - First Kiss
Their first kiss takes place in the pool.
The day starts on an early summer morning, the kind where you wake up and lay there for an hour, contemplating whether or not to get up. Right when she rolled over, deciding another hour of sleep wouldn't hurt, her phone rang.
She knew right away it was Nagisa. He was the only one who calls, rather than texts.
When she answers, she doesn't say hello, instead letting out a sigh.
"Gou?"
"Kou. It's Kou."
"Good morning!" he says, his voice so overly happy for so early in the morning. Of course, Gou glances at clock to make sure it was early and she hadn't slept half the day away.
8:00.
"Morning."
"It's my turn to do pool maintenance, but since it's the last time before they drain if for the summer, I need help. Also, the school is kind of scary when there's no one there!"
There's silence for a moment.
"So… you want me to help you clean the pool?"
"Mhm! So, will you?"
"I. Sure. What time do you want me to be there?"
"Nine!"
She nods, but then remembers he can't see her. "Okay."
"Hi Gou!" He grins, eyes sparkling.
"It's Kou! And hi."
"You brought your swim suit, right?" he asks, looking towards the pool.
"Yeah, I'm wearing it under my clothes."
"Don't go turning into Haru-chan and stripping at the mention of water!" he snickers.
She punches his shoulder at the remark, and then she does strip down to her bikini. She can feel his eyes on her. "What?"
"Nothing!" he says in a sing song voice, stripping down to his own suit. It's not the same one he wears for practices or relays.
They look at each other for a moment before Nagisa asks if she's going to get in.
She hesitates slightly. What if it's cold? She knew once she was in it wouldn't be a problem, but—
"H-hey! What are you doing?"
Nagisa's laughing as he picks her up bridal style and walks to the edge of the pool.
"Don't you dare, Nagisa! Don't you dare!" She struggles to get out of his grasp, but fails. She's in the air for a moment, and then she hits the water.
She was right to hesitate, it was freezing. It always surprises her how it could be so cold even though it was so hot out.
She resurfaces and Nagisa pops up behind her and wraps his arms around her. His breath caresses her neck, and she shivers. Of course, she can blame it on the cold water.
"What happened to cleaning?" she asks and turns around.
Usually Nagisa's eyes remind her of a puppy, but right now they were far from it.
He's leaning down and she realizes that she's already on her tip toes. When did he get so tall?
The kiss goes surprisingly well from Gou's point of view. She wasn't sure if Nagisa had ever kissed anyone before, and she knew for a fact that her first kiss was on a dare in middle school. She couldn't decide if it was great because of the kiss itself or what she had felt from it. It was like that shock that spread through your entire body that she'd read about in those cheesy romance novels.
Nagisa looked her over afterwards. "I was going to wait on that but your sex appeal—"
"NAGISA!"
Whispers I'm so sorry for this it's terrible. But it's also two am and I haven't slept properly in a few weeks. And I've never written Nagisa or Gou. Ugh I'm sorry though ugh. While I was writing this I kept on switching between past and present tense, so I hope I caught all of that.
