"Rei-chaaaaan," Nagisa whined as he was currently spinning around in one of the desk chairs. "How much longer are you going to be?"
The duo had walked up to the floor Rei worked on after Nagisa was convinced to walk on his own two feet. After which Rei went back to his work telling the blonde that he still had work to do. To which Nagisa responded only minutes later that he was bored. The building was very quiet but there was some people most likely on the other floors. Every night some people stayed after many of the others left.
"Nagisa, I told you I have to finish some work." Rei took one look at the other person in the room who was now hanging over the back of the chair. Pushing up his glasses he turned back to his work.
"But Rei-chaaaan that was 30 minutes ago."
After a quick glance at the clock on the computer Rei responded, "Nagisa that was only 5 minutes ago."
"But it feeeeels like foreveeeeer." And Nagisa was back to spinning in the chair.
"Please stop whining and I'll get done quicker."
"Fine." Nagisa replied with a humph. He soon allowed his thoughts to wander. 'I wonder what Rei-chan's working on.. Maybe they found life in space! But wouldn't I have heard about that sooner? I wonder if he made anymore progress with the whole color thing. I wonder if there's a vending machine here.' Nagisa continued wondering about anything and everything that came into his mind.
"Nagisa I'm done." With a sigh Rei looked up at the blonde who still was on the chair. He straightened his papers as Nagisa realized what his friend said.
"You are! Yay!" Nagisa hopped off and skipped over to Rei's desk resting his elbows on the edge.
"So Nagisa, I was thinking that we can gather some data together." Rei was going through some tabs on his computer looking for something while his words confused Nagisa slightly. What data did he mean? After a bit of searching Rei appeared to have found what he was looking for.
"Do you remember how I said that anything could be the cause as to why we saw the colors?" Rei turned in his chair to face Nagisa who replied with a small nod of his head. "I went and thought that we could go out and ask others some of the same questions I asked you, to see if we can find a connection. This would of course be done in a survey type manner so we wouldn't have to ask each person individually." All the while Rei was talking a smile was spreading across Nagisa's face, this sounded like a great idea. "I also have a draft of the survey made up, I wanted to run it past you to see what you think." Rei turned back to his computer as Nagisa moved behind him to look over his shoulder.
"This sounds like a great plan Rei-chan!" Nagisa planted a small kiss on his boyfriend's cheek, which of course caused Rei's face to heat up.
"So," Pushing up his glasses Rei pulled up the tab with the survey. "This is the basic outline."
After 30 minutes of adding questions, changing the format, and Rei telling Nagisa that no they could not add random questions such as if they like bread the survey was done. It read as the following:

And finally please sign here:
"Rei-chan?"
"Yes?"
"You have written," Nagisa pointed to a line on the screen. "Please help us by completing both pages. But we only have one page."
"Correct! I was hoping you would catch that Nagisa!" Rei cast a quick smile at the blonde behind him, causing the other to smile in response. "That is because…." Rei stuck out his tongue slightly as he searched for the other document. "We will have a second page!"
On the page there was four pictures on the left and four solid blocks on the right. The pictures were, in the following order, a cherry blossom tree, a sunset, a slightly cloudy sky, and finally a grass field. The blocks were just blocks of color, blue, pink, green, and orange.
"Now Nagisa I want you to match this blocks together. One on the left side per one on the right side. It is similar to the matching games we did as a child."
"Okay Rei-chan." And so Nagisa began with the cherry blossoms. "The cherry blossoms go with this one!" He pointed to the second block on the right.
"That's called pink."
"Pink.. I like how it sounds!" Nagisa tried out the word a couple times as he liked how it sounded.
"It's the same color as your eyes, except yours is more beautiful."
"Thanks Rei-chan." With a smile Nagisa picked back up matching the squares now moving onto the second which was a sunset. "The sunset goes with this block! I know this one's orange, I read it in that book you have." He pointed at the bottom square on the right. And finally matching the sky with the blue square and the grass field with the green square.
"So Rei-chan how will this help us? It was pretty simple to match them."
"Well it is to you and me, because if you remember we've started being able to see the colors at all times. Using my knowledge that I learned in my art classes in high school I learned about this thing called value. Upon further investigation I found that different colors can have similar values. Since a value is how dark or light something is."
"I still don't get it.." Nagisa leaned on the desk as Rei's words confused him.
"Well you see Nagisa this is what we see, and this," with a press of a button a the screen the page turned black and white. "Is what everyone else will see. That is unless they see colors as well." The previous blocks of color all turned into blocks of similar, if not identical, blocks of gray. Causing this matching game to become a bit harder.
"Oooooooohhh I get it now. So if they see colors this matching game will be super easy like it was for me! But if they can't then it will be a bit harder."
"That is the point. Unless the person is really good at distinguishing the values from one another." Rei laughed at the thought of how hard that would be.
After this another question was added to the first page of the survey:
Thank you, now would you please complete the attached sheet as well?
The instructions are very simple. Just think of it like a matching game from when you were younger. All you have to do is match the picture on the left to the block on the right that makes the most sense to you. At the bottom of this page please specify why you matched each pair.
"Rei-chan you took art in high school?"
"Yes! Of course! Art is a beautiful thing!" Rei pushed up his glasses as Nagisa gave him another kiss on the cheek because honestly his boyfriend is such a cute dork.
Thank you for reading this! But also thank you for letting me show off my slight art knowledge. Art is something I love and am passionate about. I personally do want to take as many art classes as I can during my time in high school and go to college for art. Thanks for listening to my random ramblings though :) (Sorry I barely post art publicly anymore)
