This is Chapter 2 of the Clannad one-shot. This was inspired by episode 12 of After Story when Tomoya and Nagisa were talking about buying swimsuits. This takes place before Tomoya graduates.
Also, I do not own the anime Clannad or any of its characters
Swimsuit
Tomoya entered the drama club room with his box lunch in his hands. It was another boring school day with all the seniors too focused on finishing classes so they could graduate. The only good thing was that summer was coming up. He knew the Furokawa's invited him to the beach and he accepted. After all, Nagisa would be there too and he wanted to spend time with her.
He noticed that all of his friends were eating together. They had all the desks pulled together and placed in a semi-circle.
"Hi Tomoya!" Nagisa greeted him.
"Hi," he greeted back as he took a seat next to her. He noticed everyone looking at him and asked, "What's up?"
"Nagisa was telling us about the beach trip this weekend," Sunohara answered.
"And how we're going with you guys!" Kyou added.
"What?" Tomoya was dumbfounded.
"We deserve a break too, you know!" Kyou retorted, "Exams are exhausting and we as seniors should have some fun before we graduate!"
"Plus, Nagisa and her parents wouldn't mind so she invited us," Tomoya explained.
"You don't mind, do you?" Kotomi asked.
"No, not at all," he assured her and everyone else, "It'll be fun having you all around."
"Well, it's settled then!" Kyou clapped her hands.
"I'm excited!" Ryou exclaimed. She looked at Nagisa and asked, "What kind of bathing suit are you going to wear?"
"Oh, I was just going to wear my school swimsuit," she answered meekly.
"What!" Kyou and Sunohara jumped up in surprised. They looked at each other and yelled out, "Why the hell did you jump up!"
Kyou sat back down as she answered, "I was surprised that Nagisa was going to wear that to the beach!"
"Same here," Sunohara copied her actions, "She should wear something cute to the beach. Don't you agree, Okazaki?"
Tomoya looked at his girlfriend and smiled, "Definitely!"
"Well, I think we should all go shopping tomorrow!" Tomoyo suggested.
"We can all buy new swimsuits!" Kotomi was excited about the idea, "Plus, I've never been shopping with a bunch of friends before."
"You have to come too, Tomoya," Kyou gave him a pointed look.
"What? Why?" he asked.
"So you can give Nagisa your opinion on which bathing suit she should get and even pay for it!" Kyou answered.
"Oh no! Tomoya doesn't need to pay for me! I can pay for myself," Nagisa protested.
"He's your boyfriend so he is obligated to buy stuff for you!" Kyou argued back.
"Don't worry, Nagisa. Okazaki and I will both be there tomorrow," Sunohara slapped his friend's shoulder.
"Who said you were coming?" Tomoyo asked Sunohara, an attitude in her tone.
"Okazaki and I are a team so we do everything together," he answered.
"Let him come with us," Ryou pleaded, "The more the merrier."
Kyou and Tomoyo looked at each other and sighed with annoyed breaths, "Fine." They gave up.
After school, Tomoya and Nagisa began to walk together back to the Furokawa home.
"Hey Tomoya," Nagisa spoke up.
"Yeah, what is it?" he glanced at her.
"Um," she blushed, acting shy, "You don't have to buy me a swimsuit. I can pay for it myself."
He couldn't help but smile. She was always selfless, "I don't mind buying you one."
"But you shouldn't spend your money on me!" she protested.
"I'm your boyfriend so I'm aloud to buy you things," he argued in a sincere tone, "Besides; I want you to look cute at the beach."
She blushed, "I'm not going to be that cute."
"I doubt that. I know for a fact all of the guys will be jealous because you're with me," he informed.
"Now you're just being silly," she giggled.
"Well, we'll see about that tomorrow, won't we?" he smiled.
The next day, Tomoya and Nagisa met up with the others in front of the shopping mall. However, they saw they had an extra guest.
"Mei!" Nagisa greeted happily. She hugged the younger Sunohara.
"Hi guys!" Mei greeted back, equally happy.
"What are you doing here?" Tomoya asked, "I didn't think you were coming to visit."
"She came this morning as a surprise visit," Sunohara explained, "Then she found out about the shopping trip and begged to go."
"Are you going to buy a swimsuit too, Mei?" Nagisa asked.
"No," she shook her head.
"Then why…" Tomoya trailed off, confused.
"You see, some of us kinda already have bathing suits," Kyou admitted. Ryou nodded her heads, confirming the information.
"Then, why are you guys here?" Tomoya asked.
"Well, Kotomi doesn't have a bathing suit and she was looking forward to shopping with all if us," Ryou answered.
"Plus, I don't have one either," Tomoyo added, "And Nagisa needs a swimsuit so we thought that, as girls, she can have our opinion."
"Nagisa, you will be our own personal doll today and we are not leaving until we find you the perfect swimsuit!" Kyou exclaimed.
"Tomoya, you have to be truthful, okay. Tell us whether you like it or not," Kotomi glanced at him.
"Tomoya felt ridiculous, with all these girls wanting to dress up his girlfriend. They went inside the mall and immediately the girls took Nagisa away to look for swimsuits, leaving the two teenage boys behind.
"Girls will be girls, I guess," Tomoya sighed, as he slumped down to the floor.
"You should be excited to see Nagisa in a swimsuit," Sunohara sat next to him.
"I am; it's your sister that worries me," he explained, "She likes to pry herself into our relationship and force it to become something it's not. It's why I'm worried about which swimsuit she'll make Nagisa wear."
"You know she just wants you two to be happy like the rest of us. Nagisa brought out this side of you and now it seems like we are altogether all the time. It centers on you and Nagisa. Not to mention, you helped many people. You helped Ichinose and Sakagami and even Mei and Nagisa herself. So they just want to return the favor by letting you experience that happiness with Nagisa," Sunohara explained.
"Sunohara," Tomoya spoke up.
"Yeah?" he wanted his friend to continue.
"Are you gay?" he asked.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" Sunohara angrily grabbed Tomoya by the shirt collar. "I give you a compliment and you reply like that!"
"Hey boys!" They both looked up to see Tomoyo in front of them wearing a white bikini. She had a slight blush on her face as she asked, "How does this look on me?"
"You look great!" Tomoya complimented.
Sunohara was mesmerized by Tomoyo, "You look amazing." It was so quiet that they both barely heard it.
Tomoyo's blush grew as she quietly replied, "Thanks Sunohara." She looked at Tomoya and said, "Nagisa is almost ready."
"Great!" he smiled, "I can't wait."
Tomoyo walked away, leaving the boys alone again.
Tomoya looked over at Sunohara, who was still in a trance, and asked, "Now do you believe she is a girl?"
"She looked so pretty," he mumbled.
"Um…Tomoya," the blue haired boy looked up to see Kotomi wearing a purple bikini with green and pink polka dots. "How does this look on me?"
Ryou came right next to her as did Tomoyo, wearing regular clothes. Ryou said, "I helped Kotomi with this one."
"It looks great on you, Kotomi," Tomoya complimented, "You did a great job, Ryou."
Both girls blushed and replied, "Thanks!"
"Hey, where are the other girls?" Sunohara asked, referring to Nagisa, Kyou, and Mei.
"Kyou and Mei specifically wanted to work with Nagisa. They are taking this seriously," Tomoyo answered.
As if on cue, Mei and Kyou came out in the open.
"Okay Okazaki, are you ready?" Mei asked.
"We picked the best swimsuit for Nagisa!" Kyou gushed, "One that I'm sure you'll like."
"Come on out, Nagisa!" Mei called out.
A nervous Nagisa came out into the open. Her face was extremely red and she had her arms covering her chest, trying to hide the top part of the bathing suit. The bottom looked normal; it was plain white.
"Come on Nagisa! Show him!" Kyou encouraged her.
"It's…" she trailed off, "its…embarrassing."
"Okazaki, you know you want to see it so give her some encouragement," Mei demanded from Tomoya.
"Nagisa, I'm sure it looks cute on you so don't be embarrassed. Let me see it," he gently prodded her.
"Okay," she nodded solemnly. Slowly, she pulled her arms away, revealing the swimsuit. It was only two stars and string. The suit was very revealing with only the stars covering Nagisa's nipples.
Tomoya's and Sunohara's reactions were priceless as both of their faces turned red. Sunohara even fainted as Tomoya stood up and yelled at Mei and Kyou, "What the hell is that!"
"It's a swimsuit!" Both girls answered simultaneously.
"A mighty cute one that is!" Kyou gushed.
"Don't you love it?" Mei asked Tomoya.
His blush refused to go away. He heard a small tap behind him so he looked to see where the noise came from. There was a window and outside the window were three teenage boys, staring and drooling over Nagisa. He rushed over to cover her from the boys.
"Nagisa is just the center of attention!" Mei gushed.
"She needs to put some clothes on!" Tomoya yelled. "Dammit Mei! Why would you make Nagisa put this on!" He was pissed off.
"So, you don't think it's cute at all?" Kyou asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"That's not it at all!" His arms tightened around the petite girl. "I want Nagisa to wear a swimsuit that is cute but also one that isn't flashy like this one. Personally, I don't care what she wears. The only thing I am thinking about for this beach trip is spending time with Nagisa. No matter what we do or even what we wear, I just want her by my side and every moment will be a good one."
"Tomoya," Nagisa was truly touched by his response.
Kyou smiled and looked at Mei, "I guess we have to go with Plan B."
"Plan B?" Tomoyo was confused.
"We initially wanted a reaction from Okazaki so we chose this one," Mei explained.
"We weren't expecting that kind of reaction from Tomoya so we feel bad for the guy but yet we're proud of you. This shows you respect her," Kyou added.
"You girls are cruel, you know that," Tomoya muttered, not pleased at all.
"Come on Nagisa; let's show Tomoya the other swimsuit." Kyou told the small girl. Nagisa was still being hugged by her boyfriend.
"I'll make sure that they choose something decent this time," Tomoyo assured the boy as she, Nagisa, Mei, and Kyou walked away. Sunohara made sure that the teenage boys at the window were gone.
"Tomoya, what you said was really amazing," Kotomi gushed.
"I don't think any other guy would say that to a girl," Ryou added.
"I was just speaking the truth, that's all," Tomoya waved it off like it was not a big deal.
"You really like Nagisa that much," Sunohara said.
"I don't think like it a big enough word for it," Ryou countered.
"I agree. I think its love," Kotomi said, "You love Nagisa, don't you Tomoya?"
Tomoya blushed, unsure of how to answer that.
However, before he could say anything, Mei, Kyou, and Tomoyo came out.
"Okay, here is the swimsuit we originally thought was good for Nagisa," Kyou said.
"Don't worry, Okazaki. It's an appropriate one," Tomoyo assured.
Nagisa came out. She was wearing a light pink bikini with ruffles around the waistline. "Tomoya?" She noticed that he would not stop staring at her. Blushing, she started stuttering, "Does…does it look bad?"
He walked closer to her. Smiling he assured her, "I think it looks cute on you, Nagisa."
