Rei was in the middle of drinking his beverage when Haruka appeared in front of the table suddenly and silently, as he was apt to do. His bright blue eyes swept over Rei once, and the end of his fluffy tail twitched very slightly. In a completely flat and disinterested tone, he said, "Nagisa's in heat."

Bright eyes looked up at him from behind the door. Rei distinctly felt the shorter man's gaze drag up and down him thoroughly. He supposed this was what it was like to be "checked out." The man grinned at him.

"Hey, Rei-chan," he called out while fiddling with his pencil carelessly. "I think it'd be nice if you were more aggressive sometimes. I mean, it's not like you aren't ever aggressive or anything but, like…. You should be more aggressive when we have sex."

Nagisa looked proudly over to Rei and lifted his head to let the scarf fall away from his nose and mouth. The grin he had on his face lasted for a second before he turned his head toward the sky and took in a deep breath. A particularly nippy breeze bypassed them. Nagisa drew his shoulders in again and shivered. Rei thought he looked like a penguin hunching over for warmth.
