Nagisa enthusiastically rang Rei's doorbell. Rei's brother answered the door. He was slightly shorter than Rei with medium length blue hair, but unlike Rei he didn't wear glasses.

"Come in." He said to the strawberry blond. Nagisa wiped his feet as he came in. "Rei, your friend is here." He yelled up to his brother.

They heard footsteps and saw Rei appear at the top of the steps.

"Come on up Nagisa." He said, gesturing to his boyfriend.

Nagisa smiled at Rei's brother before walking up the stairs. He followed Rei into his bedroom, he'd never been in here before. Rei had never let him. It was very simply laid out; bed with a blue star duvet, a wooden wardrobe against one wall, a shelf of trophies, an overflowing bookcase and a desk next to the open window. Nagisa wasn't surprised to find the room was very tidy.

Nagisa looked around and picked up a few of Rei's trophies from when he did track.

"Do you miss it?" Nagisa asked

"Not as much as I used," He said looking in Nagisa's direction. "I used all the time, just after I joined the swim team . . . but now . . ." he paused and looked at his boyfriend. He smiled at him. "I'm glad I joined the swim team." He concluded.

"I got an extra chair so that we could both work at my desk while we study." Rei said.

Nagisa nodded and got his work out of his bag.

"Your parents were okay with this weren't they?" Rei asked concerned. He didn't want Nagisa to get in anymore trouble.

Nagisa shrugged. "They have to be, if they want me to do well." He said simply. Rei nodded, it was a fair point. "What are we doing first?" Nagisa asked joining Rei at his desk.

"I was thinking maths." Rei said. Nagisa made a face at him; he hated maths as much as he hated studying.

Rei put his hands on Nagisa's face, squishing his cheeks together. "If we do maths first then it's out of the way." Rei pointed out

Nagisa shook his away from Rei's hands. "Fine." He said sulkily. He smiled at him, "But can we do art next?" Nagisa asked

"Okay." Rei said. At least he was excited about it.

They did their maths homework, Nagisa struggling with the equations in the circle. Rei helped him; he had finished his in minutes.

"See it's not that difficult." Rei said

"Maybe not for you." Nagisa said bitterly. "Some of us have to work hard to do well."

Rei sighed and looked down. "Do you think I like being smart? People put so much pressure on me to do well; sometimes I wish that I could be like you." Rei said turning to Nagisa

"Me?" Nagisa asked.

"Yeah, I just . . . sometimes I wish I could be calm and happy all the time." Rei said.

Nagisa took his hand. "I'm not calm or happy all the time, sometimes I get scared that I'll fail my parents and Haruka Senpai. And mostly I don't want to fail you. I'm the reason you're in the club Rei, I would hate to make you regret joining."

"I don't regret anything Nagisa. And you're going to be fine. Your swimming gets better all the time and were studying together aren't we?" Rei said. Nagisa nodded. "Come here, you'll be fine I promise." Rei said pulling Nagisa into a hug.

Nagisa looked up at Rei; his big pink eyes looked so innocent. Rei leaned down and kissed him.

Suddenly the door opened and Rei's mum opened the door. "I bought you snacks-" she stopped and looked at the kissing couple, her mouth wide in shock.

Rei stopped kissing Nagisa and looked at her. Rei stood up and walked over to her. He gently took her shoulders and made her sit on the bed, taking the tray of treats out of her hands.

"Mum." Rei said. She looked at her son. "Mum I'm gay and Nagisa is my boyfriend. I'm sorry you found out like this. I was going to tell you after we'd finished studying, but . . . yeah. . ." Rei trailed off.

His mum sat startled for a while, she took a deep breathe.

"Are you okay mum?" Rei asked

"Yeah, I'm fine Rei. It was just a bit of a shock." She said. Rei nodded, she wasn't the only one feeling shocked.

He handed her one of the drinks she had bought up for him and Nagisa, she pushed it away.

"I bought that for studying, you need it for studying." She said with a smile

Rei nodded "Thanks mum." He said "Do you mind if we get back to it?" Rei asked politely

"As long as you're working." She said

"What else would we? . . . Mum, I promise were studying." Rei said slightly embarrassed

"Were doing Art homework next." Nagisa said cheerfully

"Okay." Rei's mum said. She stood up.

"We'll come down when we've done." Rei said

"We'll talk when you've finished." She said. Rei nodded at his mum. She then left the room, shutting the door behind her.

Rei turned to Nagisa "Sorry." He said

"For what?" Nagisa asked confused

"We missed studying time." Rei said

Nagisa rolled his eyes and pounced on his boyfriend, pinning him down. "I hate homework." He said. He leaned down and kissed Rei, his hands moving to undress his Rei.

Rei pushed him off and he sat up, sitting of Rei's warm crotch. Rei sat up and hugged Nagisa.

"We need to do out art homework, then we can make out." Rei said

"Promise?" Nagisa said holding out his pinkie

Rei linked his pinkie with Nagisa's. "I promise." He said

"Okay." Nagisa said. He enthusiastically got off his boyfriend and sat back at the desk. He tapped his wrist. "Come on were running out of time." Nagisa said

Rei laughed as he returned to his desk, Nagisa was so funny sometimes.

They did their art homework, Nagisa doing a quick sketch and explaining it's meaning in writing. When he finished he looked over to Rei's drawing. Rei had drawn a similarly quick picture and was carefully finishing off his annotations.

Rei looked up when he had finished. He nodded at Nagisa who gleefully pulled him over to Rei's bed.

They kissed and slowly undressed, till they were half naked. Nagisa went to undo Rei's jean button. Rei pushed his boyfriend's hands away.

Nagisa looked at him offended. Rei looked down.

"What's wrong? Don't you like this?" Nagisa asked

"It's not that . . . it sounds stupid, but." Rei paused. "I'm not ready yet. Soon Nagisa, I promise." Rei said

Nagisa smiled at him and took his hands. "That doesn't sound stupid, I can wait." Nagisa said. He was lying. Nagisa was very inpatient, but he didn't want to lose Rei and he had too much respect for Rei to do anything stupid. And anyway, this was something worth waiting for.

"Thank you Nagi." Rei said. He Kissed Nagisa's soft lips.

They broke they kiss. "We should head down, they might get suspicious." Nagisa said.

Rei nodded and they re-dressed and carefully did up their ties.

They went downstairs and talked to Rei's parents and brother. After explaining they seemed okay about it, although Rei knew that they would need more time. His parents weren't as calm or accepting as Nagisa's were.

Nagisa stayed for dinner, before walking home. It was still light outside and he knew that he would be fine on his own.
