05: Humidity — Ryugazaki Rei
The heat was getting to you.

An exasperated sigh slipped past your lips as you slumped over the desk in defeat. "I give up," came your muffled moan through your notebook.

The bluenette tutted at you from where he was sitting cross-legged on his bed. "Do you not know the beauty of hard work?"

"Idiot," you glared at him.
"This is basic terminology. Of course I get it, but it's just-"
With your butt, you pushed the chair back. "So-"
You faced him and dramatically fell to your knees. "Hot."
You drawled the last word, fanning your face for emphasis.

"Indeed," he pushed his glasses up his nose. "Heat waves are uncommon phenomena in Japan, considering we are situated in the temperate regions-"

"Global. Fucking. Warming."

"-but that doesn't entitle you with an excuse to drop what you're studying, or so shamelessly exhibit your colorful vocabulary."

He just had to point that out. "But Rei-"

"No buts. I promised your parents I'd help you study for the upcoming exams. And I am merely doing exactly that."

"At least treat your guest to some cold food." You whimpered, attempting a puppy dog face.

"But you haven't even gotten past the first chapter of the first subject."

"Pleeeaaase." My face and body are on fire, hurry the fuck up and give me some ice cream.

He contemplated this. You wiped your sweaty forehead with your sleeve to look more convincing. "Alright."

"YES!" You pumped your fist in the air and got up to run for the fridge.

"Hold on," You paused mid-sprint. He stood and walked over to his desk where your notes were. "Before that, at least describe the basic weather terms first. What is humidity?"

You didn't have time for this, but something struck you. Sweat glistened on his skin, and his shirt clung to his toned figure. You subconsciously licked your lips.

Though you were his neighbor, you were close friends and nothing more. And though you admitted he did have an irresistible body and was totally crush material, it was nothing but a stray thought. But the heat was probably getting to you. Now, you didn't want the ice cream; you wanted him.

"Well?"

"Uh. H-humidity is the amount of water vapor in the..." You faltered when he started fanning himself with his shirt. It was too much. "...the air."

"Elaborate."

"It's also described to be moist," Your composure was gone. Your feet carried you to where he stood, and you rid yourself of your shirt. "And unbelievably sticky."

He gaped like a fish, and a bit of blood seeped out of his nose. Whether it was from the heat or your innuendo or the removal of your shirt, neither of you knew.

But you both knew you were going to get caught up in the heat.

A/N:

Naughty, naughty reader. HAHAHA. Butyouknowyouwantit.

Rei doesn't seem like the type to advance first. I hope you liked flustered!Rei. And yeah, it's neighbor!Reader. I think this is the longest drabble so far. Should it even still be considered one? 400+ words. Oh well.

You all prolly hate me. Long gap between the fourth update and this, but I had writer's block. And I lapsed into writing Makoto/Reader angst. Fuck me, right?

So, I'm rage-posting this because Ep 5 hasn't been released yet.
And don't worry, I've got like 20 prompts lined up. Check my profile for the full list. -wink-
