OH MY GOSH. Thank you all immensely for favoriting/following this story! I was never expecting this many people to like it! Anyways, after the emotional episode 9, I think we all need a little fluff. Sorry for this chapter being so short, I'm still recovering.

It was yet another day, smack in the middle of dreadful July. The coffee shop was oddly packed for noon, but I didn't mind considering I was busy planning how I would address Nagisa about what he said to me before. Knowing Nagisa, it couldn't have been something that serious, but I still worried. Constantly, I found myself wondering if he was okay and what he was doing.

It had been a whole week since the date. One whole week full of me obsessing over a few words. I'm aware that I'm pathetic. However! The week did not go to waste, because I had a plan of attack set out. First, Nagisa would come over and we would start our idle chit-chat like usual. As the conversation would get longer, I would causally slip in the question. If the subject just blows right over his head (like most things I say do), I'll repeat it, a bit more loud but still keeping a caring tone. This plan was perfect. How could I mess it up?

Sure enough, when his long awaited break came, Nagisa plopped in the seat in front of me and slammed his head down on the table.

"How are you doing, Rei-chan...?" His lighthearted voice was covered with exhaustion.

"I'm doing well, thank you Nagisa-kun," I smiled, shaking my head. "Do I even need to ask how you're doing?"

"Tired."

A moment of silence passed by.

"Nagisa-kun?"

"YEAH?!" Nagisa's head flew up violently with his eyes wide. "Sorry..." He yawned. "I might have fallen asleep."

"Might have?" I chuckled.

Carefully, I studied the moment, wondering if this was the time. We weren't talking that long, but I was afraid that if I didn't ask this now, then I would never ask again. "Can I ask you a question?"

His eyes blinked fast, full of curiosity. "Anything, Rei-chan."

"Remember at the end of our... date? When you stuttered and started to tell me something?"

"Yeah."

"What," I took a deep breath. "What were trying to tell me?"

"OH!" Nagisa busted out in laughter. "You had some chocolate on your face but I thought it would be rude to tell you!"

"That was it?! Really?! I spent-" I covered my mouth.

"Well, that's not all..."

"Nagisa-kun?"

"When we earn enough money, Haru-chan, Mako-chan, and me would like to take you with us!"

"To the water park?"

"Yes!" Nagisa smiled broad and shot up in the air. "We can go on all the water slides you want and eat whatever you want!" His hands were moving frantically in the air, corresponding with every word. "All day! We'll look at all the cute animals there and laugh when they splash us!"

He was adorable when talking about something that excited him. You could see his eyes light up with joy and you could relate his voice to a child who just got the latest toy they've been begging for. After every word, he gasped trying to keep up with his own pace.

"So!" He sat back down and pointed at me. "Will you come?!"

I blushed and tilted my head. "Of course! But, do you know if there are any job openings here?"
