Bringing your small, swimming-obsessed, usually half-naked possible boyfriend who looks like he's about four to meet your parents is generally not the best idea.

But Rei had calculated that it had to happen sometime within the next couple weeks, and now was probably the most statistically likely to result in his parents being pleased with Nagisa. And Nagisa seemed...slightly calm...at the moment. Then again, slightly calm for Nagisa was just refraining from jumping on top of Rei and covering his face with kisses in the middle of public.

"Rei-chan, you still haven't told me where we're going!

Rei looked down at Nagisa dubiously. "You're going to meet my parents."

"Are they nice?! Oh, boy, Rei-chan! Do you have any pets? What about siblings? How big is your house? How old are your parents? Do you have a soft bed?"

"Behave yourself, Nagisa," Rei said, although he felt himself almost smiling. Nagisa's boundless energy was kind of endearing sometimes. Sometimes being when they weren't in the middle of taking a test or trying to get Ama-chan to actually listen to their ideas for swim club uniforms.

As they reached the door to Rei's house, Rei swore that Nagisa was practically shaking with excitement. "Calm down. Meeting my parents certainly isn't the most important event in the world."

"Aw, Rei-chan, I'm not nervous! I'm so happy I could cry! This is just a step closer to being married!"

"...What?"

Nagisa just beamed, and Rei decided that it was probably better not to ask questions. The door seemed to be unlocked, so Rei pushed it open and stepped inside. "Mother, Father? Are either of you home?"

"You call your parents 'Mother' and 'Father'?! That's adorable!"

Rei's mother was a tall, skinny woman whose flour-dusted apron suggested that she'd just finished cooking something. "Rei? You're home early."

"There was no swim club today," Rei said, trying to ignore the fact that Nagisa had thrown his arms around his waist and seemed to have buried his face in his jacket. "Nagisa," he hissed, pulling Nagisa off with one hand and pushing him aside.

"And who's this?" His mother eyed him dubiously.

"Er. Mother, this is, uh, Nagisa." Rei prayed silently that Nagisa wouldn't add anything to that statement.

"His boyfriend!" Nagisa squealed, and Rei put his face into his hands. Well, at least that got the more awkward conversation with his parents out of the way.

His mother stared at the pair of them, looked from one to the other and simply said "Oh." There were a few minutes of silence, and then she added, "Would you two like anything to eat? I could make sandwiches."

Rei breathed a sigh of relief as Nagisa started babbling about what kind of sandwich he wanted and his mother seemed not to really mind. "Nagisa. How about we go upstairs?" He was about to make a quick comment to his mother when Nagisa practically dragged him up the stairs. For someone so tiny, Nagisa was strong.

"Your mom is so nice, Rei-chan! I wanna see your room! I bet it's nice, too!"

"Alright, alright. Calm down." He smiled down at Nagisa as they entered Rei's room. "You know, I think Mother likes you."

"That's great!" Nagisa hopped onto Rei's bed. "It's so soft and warm!" Rei settled down beside him, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy, who sighed contentedly and snuggled into Rei's chest.

Rei was about to remark how nice this was when Nagisa whispered, "Perfect for hardcore fucking."
