Sorry in advance but spring break ends tomorrow (I go back to school April 4th) so updates will be less frequent but I will do my best! I swear! I can't leave one of my favorite ships... I may have done that with a RinHaru fanfic I wrote 2 chapters for, never uploaded on here and forgot about. I might upload it on here. Who knows.. But so you know, in this fanfic none of the characters know each other previously. So there wasn't a swim club in which they were all involved. That is how I am going to be able to pull off this plot line.. But in the next chapters there might be a visit from a couple of the other characters in the series. I somehow just keep typing.. But without further ado, onto the story!

Upon entering the lab it was clear that either everyone had also decided to take the day off or they were somewhere else running tests. But either way the lab was empty, Nagisa wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing. He felt somewhere inside that it wasn't right to just follow someone he met that day somewhere he didn't know. It didn't help that there was no one there to be a witness if something happened and Rei turned out to be a killer or something. But there was also the feeling that this was the right thing to do and that nothing bad would happen. There was something about Rei, Nagisa could only put it as he was a genuine and honest person. When he blinked he saw that all the vibrant colors had faded out of the world and Rei's hand was no longer in his. When Rei turned around to face him with notebook in hand he saw how his face fell. The colors were special and he liked them.

"Nagisa, I need to ask you some questions. Is that okay?"

"Sure Rei-chan. What type of questions?" He had to be a nice guy if he let Nagisa call him Rei-chan, right?

"Just some basic questions. Sorry if I repeat any from earlier I just need to make sure that I get everything accurate." By now Rei had a pen and was ready to write down notes. "Oh! We can sit down if you want." He proceeded to pull two of the chairs in the room across from each other. As Nagisa sat down Rei started asking questions. "What is your full name, age, and birthday? Let's start there."

With a sigh Nagisa answered the questions, "Nagisa Hazuki, I am 25, and my birthday is August 2nd." Rei did say the questions might be a little repetitive. But if it all helped them both understand the colors and why they appear then he was willing to answer as many questions as he needed to.

"What is your occupation, and if I may ask your relationship status?"

"I am a trainee at NASA and- Wait what?! Why would you need to know that?" The second question caught him off guard as most people don't ask that question unless they are trying to get you to go on a date with them.

"Nagisa, the colors are something that I'm pretty sure no one has seen in a long time and you and me are probably one of the first to see them. If we are going to do tests and or experiments to see if anyone sees them we need to find out if there is any connection. Any type of connection, whether it be something as their relationship status or their gender or anything else for that matter." Well that sort of cleared things up a bit, Rei wasn't going to ask him out (not that he would have necessarily said no) but it was apart of the research.

"Alright then, I am single. What about you?" Without skipping a beat and without looking up from his notebook Rei replied with a single word, "Single."

"How would you describe the world right now?"

"Monochromatic I guess."

"And how about now?" Rei gently grabbed Nagisa's hand turning the world vibrant once again. Leaving both of them in awe for a couple minutes.

"Vibrant. That's about the only word I can think of."

"Colorful."

"What?"

"I'm guessing the word you are looking for is colorful." With a smile, and without letting go of Nagisa's hand, Rei pulled a book over into his lap and opened it up. Inside were squares of what happened to be colors and their names below. "This is a very old book is found during my research. It has every color that was ever named. There are of course the in betweens of colors but they didn't really get named. It's pretty cool personally."

"It really is Rei-chan." The book was large, who knew they were missing out on so many things in life. Nagisa was flipping through the book with a smile on his face. "What color are my eyes? Will you tell me?" Nagisa asked looking up to Rei. With a slight nod Rei began flipping the pages to the section of the book that was filled with reds and pinks. Stopping at a bright pink with undertones of magenta and red.

"This pink right here. I always thought it would be be a beautiful color and I was right. It is especially beautiful on you." Rei covered his mouth as soon as he said that a blush spreading across his face. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that last part out loud."

Nagisa chuckled final feeling completely comfortable around Rei. "It's fine Rei-chan. Your eyes are a beautiful…" He paused as he quickly flipped through the book stopping at the part for purples and blues, "Purple! That's it, right there. Your hair is also that blue!" Both of them were smiling at seeing the other happy.

"Nagisa…" Rei began twiddling his fingers as he tried to think of how to phrase the question.

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

"Oh nothing's wrong! I was just wondering if I may kiss you. For extra data."

"I guess if it's for data. I've never really been good at this just so you know." With a small laugh Nagisa leaned closer to Rei.

It was a quick kiss and unnatural for them both. When it was over they both sat back against their chairs. They weren't having any physical contact like before but the colors still remained. After about a minute they began to slowly fade. Rei quickly grabbed his notebook and wrote down the following;

Physical contact such as holding hands: Colored for the amount of time offer contact. One contact is broken colors vanish.

Kiss: Colored after kiss, begins to fade shortly after.

"Well that was different." Nagisa commented after Rei stopped scribbling in his notebook. "Do you know why it happened like that Rei-chan?"

"No I don't. But it certainly was different than before." He tapped his pencil against his chin pondering whatever could cause this. He started muttering things to himself out loud, "What would happen if a kiss were longer? Would it extend the period after in which the colors remain? That would make sense.." Nagisa caught what was being said and got closer to Rei.

"I'd like to test your hypothesis. If you want to." With a smile Rei brought his hands up to Nagisa's face pulling him into a kiss. It was longer and began to feel more natural for the both of them. When they sat back in their original position they found Rei's hypothesis to be correct, the longer the kiss the longer the colors lasted afterwards.

"Well looks like you were right Rei-chan!"

"We need more data to become completely sure.."

"Before you keep kissing me you could at least take me to dinner like you promised." Nagisa took Rei's hand and kissed his cheek. All of which caused Rei to blush. He had to admit it, he was falling for the boy who was holding his hand.

Ah I love cute fluff. But yes this one is a bit longer to try and make up for the fact that I might not be able to update as often as I would like. Quick note, most of what I write is written anywhere from 10pm to 2am, so some writing may be better than others. I will see you guys in the next chapter! Feel free to review, follow, and favorite!
