It all starts with Rei asking Nagisa Out
Rei fidgeted nervously as he stood in front of Nagisa.
The blonde seemed unaware of his discomfort, his head tilted in confusion as he questioned, "Rei-chan? What did you want me for? You know Gou-chan isn't going to be happy if we're late for practice."
"I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the zoo with me this weekend." Rei declared pointedly looking away from him. "We could go see the penguins or...or whatever it is you find cute this week."
"Penguins are always cute, Rei-chan!" Nagisa stated. He put his finger to his lips as he thought over the question before nodding, "I'd love to go with you Rei-chan. We should invite Haru-chan and Mako-chan as well."
Rei spluttered as Nagisa turned to walk away. He blurted out, "Nagisa! I was trying to ask you on a date."
Nagisa stopped and half turned. The smile on his lips had Rei's heartbeat picking up even as a shiver ran down his spine. He winked, "I know Rei-chan. That's why I'm inviting them."
"You don't want to go on a date with me then?"
"No! Of course I want to Rei-chan," Nagisa objected as he turned back around, walking towards the pool. "I just think we'd both be much more happy if all four of us went on a date together."
Rei hadn't thought of that before, but something about it seemed right.
