Chapter 2:

"That was delicious!" Rei shouts out, patting his stomach with the palms of his hand as he was the first to exit the resturaunt.

"Go figure Haru chose the Mackerel again." Nagisa announces as he closely follows Rei. Quickly glancing back at Makoto and Haru. They were quietly walking side by side as Nagisa noticed that they were holding hands. His heart skips a beat, as he quietly turns back and lets out a large smile and couldn't help himself from blushing as pink as a cherry blossom. Just then he noticed Rei in front of them, he looked down to Rei's hand and then down to his own hand and ended up blushing even more.

"Nagisa!" Haru calls out. "We're going to be staying with you right?" Haru remembers that his parents moved out of the old house Haru moved to Australia.

"Of course, thankfully my parents agreed to it, besides their out of the country for work for a few more weeks anyway." Nagisa says.

"He also invited me!" Rei adds excitedly giving off a cheerful smile. "It's going to be just like old times!"

Haha looks like the gang's back together. Makoto quietly thinks to himself smiling.

Haru looks back and forth from Makoto to Nagisa and Rei, it really was like old times. He was very happy for the month ahead.

Nagisa's slides open the front door, turns on the entrance light, and takes off his shoes. Just as Rei, Makoto and Haru made their way into the house behind him, they all took off their shoes looking around, checking out Nagisa's house, they've never gotten the chance to come over to his house before. They made their way to the living room and placed all of their luggage down. Rei walked over to the closet to grab some pillows and blankets just as he looked up to the top shelf and saw the old dice they used back on the deserted island. He reaches up and grabs it, turning around and shows the others.

"Hey guys, remember this?!" Rei chuckles as he holds out the large cube in front of him.

"Oh! What do you guys say? You want to play again?!" Nagisa yells out asking the others.

"Sure!" Makoto quickly responds.

"Why not?" Haru replies.

"Only on one occasion." Rei demands as he searched a desk drawer for a marker. Since his name was still on the dice three times, he crossed out two of the "Rei" sides and replaced them with "Truth" and "Dare".

"Oi! Rei-channn, you ruined my dice!" Nagisa crys out. "I liked it better before!" He adds.

"Then add your name to it three times!" Rei yells in protest as he tosses the dice to Nagisa.

"Hehe! I guess i'm going to roll first?" Nagisa quickly questioned holding the dice as he slowly rolled it along the floor when it finally stopped they all looked to see which side it landed on. "Rei"

"Hahaha!" Nagisa starts to bust a gutt laughing out loud.

"IT'S RIGGED!" Rei shouts hanging his head convinced.

"Haha, OK Rei-chan!.. I want to know - what is your biggest fear?"

"Hmph, I thought this was going to be more of an embarrassing question, like last time.." Rei says as he folded his arms over each other, "Come to think of it, I've never really been scared of anything." Rei says using his hand to push his glasses further up his nose.

"Huh?! Not even snakes?" Nagisa asked edging towards Rei. "What about spiders?" Nagisa adds getting even closer.

"No." Rei manages to keep his composure and calmly replies.

"The Dark?" Makoto asked.

"Nope." Rei proudly answered again with a serious look on his face.

"Mackerel?" Haru calmly questioned as the others quickly glanced over at him and started to break out laughing. Rei stopped and looked over at Nagisa, Makoto and Haru, all sitting in a small circle, and thought to himself quietly for a second looking down at the dice laying on the floor with his name facing upwards - Rei.

"I guess.." Rei says soft spokenly. "..my biggest fear.." He paused again as the laughter started to die down "..is to be alone again." he said quietly. "I never had any friends before you came along, asking me to join the swim club, Nagisa-kun.." He added, looking over to Nagisa, his face turning red as he blushed. "..and that's how I was able to meet you guys too." He mentioned while glancing over to Haru and Makoto.

Haru and Makoto started to develop a shocked expression, not knowing what has gotten into Rei. Nagisa couldn't help himself being bashful, blushing and smiling more than usual as Makoto then Haru also joined in smiling from ear to ear also.

"-Ah! Well- it's my turn to roll." Rei says juggling his words, embarassed as he grabbed the dice, rolling it quickly.

The dice tumbles across the floor again-..
