Thump.

Nagisa's head hit the desk. He groaned internally, his mind a haze of boredom. He was sitting in his chemistry class, wishing something would put him out of his misery. 'Like a typhoon. Or a tornado! Do we even have tornados in Japan?'

Nagisa looked up as he heard the door open, revealing a young male with blue hair, purple eyes, and red glasses. Nagisa blinked. 'Huh? Is someone from another class giving the lesson? Is that what the teacher was talking about?'

As the boy, standing in the front of the classroom, rearranged his papers, Nagisa studied him. 'He looks smart. Ugh!' Nagisa's head hit the desk again. 'He's going to be boring!' He looked up at the boy. 'Well, at least he's cute...' Satisfied with a worthy distraction, Nagisa prepared himself to spend the rest of the class ogling the Smart Cutie.

Smart Cutie cleared his voice. He began to speak, "Le Chatelier's Principle states that when a stress, such as a change in concentration, pressure, or temperature, is applied to an equilibrium…"*

Nagisa frowned. He recognized those words, which was weird because Nagisa did NOT speak Smart.

"…the reaction will shift in a way that relieves the stress and restores equilibrium-"*

The blonde slammed his fists on the desk and shot up on top of his chair. He pointed at the young man. "Hey! You're my Soulmate!"

Rei shuffled his notes before adjusting his glasses. Though he would not need his notes, it never hurt to be prepared just in case. Making a mistake would NOT be beautiful. He began to give his speech on Le Chatelier's Principle.

Thump!

"Hey! You're my Soulmate!"

Rei stared at the blonde boy who was pointing at him. "U-Um..." he stuttered. He cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses. "Excuse me?"

The blonde boy- 'He is beautiful...' - bounced towards him. "Hi! I'm Nagisa Hazuki! It's nice to meet you, Soulmate!"

Before Rei could respond, his beautiful Soulmate kissed him on the lips with a smack.

"Try this, Rei-chan! It's really good!"

Rei opened his mouth obediently and allowed Nagisa to feed him. Rei's mind was still reeling from earlier. After the kiss, Rei had stuttered his name. The teacher had then dismissed them both. Now, the two were wandering around town, trying random treats at Nagisa's whim.

Nagisa gasped. "This one looks like a butterfly! Here, Rei-chan!"

Rei smiled as he took the cookie. "It is rather beautiful," he noted.

Nagisa giggled. "You really like beautiful things, don't you?"

Rei's smile grew. "I do. However, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, Nagisa-kun."

The blonde blushed deeply. He lunged at Rei, tackling him in a hug. "Awwww! Rei-chan! You're so cute!"

"N-Nagisa-kun! Stop! It's not beautiful!"
