In the toilets Nagisa splashed his face with water, trying to calm himself down and gripped the edge of the sink as he looked in the mirror, "It's nothing. You're thinking too much. Nothing." He sighed and, after a little while, he decided to go back.
Upon seeing the waiter with his hand on Rei's knee and Rei backed into the corner, he ran out of the restaurant and didn't stop running until he reached a bench in the middle of the mall. The small blond sat on the bench, wondering what had happened to send the date so wrong.
Rei panicked when he saw Nagisa run out as the waiter became more and more persistent in his advances. He pushed at the waiter trying to make him get off but the waiter must've been a body builder or something because even with Rei's well trained, muscular body, Rei couldn't shift him.
"What's wrong?~" The waiter's voice was little more than a purr in his ear, "Now that your boyfriend's gone, there's no one to stop us being together~"
Rei's eyes widened and he slapped the waiter across his face but he just chuckled at him and continued with his advances. Rei looked around for some way to escape his clutches and he spotted Makoto and Haru in a booth not too far away, "Makoto-senpai!" His voice came out slightly strangled as he called for help.
Makoto looked up when he heard his name and he frowned as he got up, apologising to Haru as he walked over, "Rei? What's wrong? Who's this?"
The waiter look at Makoto briefly before proceeding to kiss up and down Rei's neck mumbling, "Leave us."
Rei tried to get the waiter off him but he still couldn't move him, "Makoto-senpai, please help me! Nagisa-kun ran out a little while ago and- AH!" He was cut off by the pain of teeth biting into his neck, hard enough to leave a mark, as the waiter didn't like the subject matter.
At this point Makoto decided that enough was enough and yanked the waiter back by his collar, pulling him up so he could look the man in the eyes. "Okay, you need to stop that. It's obvious he doesn't like it. Stop harassing him."
"And how would you know that he doesn't like it, huh?" The waiter smirked and spat in his face, whilst Rei held his neck and stared at them with wide, frightened eyes.
"From the way he's acting now, it's obvious. Just leave him alone or I'll get you fired." Makoto's usually gentle eyes were hard with anger as he glared at the waiter.
"Tch... Fine." he stared straight back at the taller, stronger man before turning his head to look at Rei, "Like I'd want anything as ugly as him anyway." He yanked his collar away from Makoto's grasp and walked back to the kitchens.
Rei looked up at Makoto, "Thank you... I-I'm sorry I interrupted your date..." He glanced around the restaurant a little panicked, "I need to find Nagisa-kun..."
Makoto frowned slightly, "Rei, are you alright?"
"Y-yeah... I'm really very sorry, Makoto-senpai..." He stood and bowed to him slightly before straightening up and gazing around the restaurant, muttering Nagisa's name to himself.
Makoto wished him luck in finding Nagisa as the boy rushed passed him out of the restaurant. Rei could feel the waiter's eyes boring into his back as he left and he shuddered slightly.
After about 5 minutes of strangers staring at him as he ran around the mall calling out to Nagisa, he spotted him getting up from a bench to leave the building and go home. Not caring about the strange looks he was getting because all the people around him could see was a slightly dishevelled young man racing after another young man, shouting his name whilst the other ignored him.
Rei sped up, a frown on his face when he saw Nagisa throw their photo in the bin. As soon as he'd managed to catch up to him, he grabbed onto his shoulder, spinning him around.
"What do you want?!" The blond boy looked at the ground so Rei wouldn't see the tears pooling in his eyes but he was unable to keep the tell tale signs of crying from his voice when it cracked halfway through what he was saying.
