08: Capsize — Hazuki Nagisa
Nagisa's escapades never really ended well.

You knew better than to go along with any of Nagisa's brilliant ideas.

But you somehow still got dragged into every single one of his awesome adventures.

No sarcasm up there. None at all. Nope.

He must have added something in your drinks during the bus ride, you were sure of it. Who in their right mind would go on an escapade with Nagisa? No fucking one. Unless they were brainwashed or something.

And Rei, Gou, and Chigusa were also tagging along.

Okay, they did protest, but it was only for a little while. So either way, that still proves your point.

A school trip hiking in the mountains wasn't so bad, but leave it to the said blonde to ruin a perfect chance to breathe actual fresh air. On the way to the cabins, he practically glued his face to the window of the school bus, and you knew he wasn't simply admiring the scenery. While the rest of the first years chattered away, he spotted a little island in the middle of a lake you were passing, and his face practically lit up so bright, you swore you could see his thick skull through it.

So halfway through the hike, he dragged the four of you off with him on a little so-called expedition.

And at the moment, you were trying very hard to do two things.

One, resist the urge to push Nagisa off the little lifeboat he had found and into the lake.

Two, not throw up over the side, as your stomach was queasy from all the movement.

You knew you should have said no to the funny-looking salad your classmate offered you.

Sure, the lake was calm, but he was so hyper he put bears on double espresso to shame, and he was bouncing in excitement where he was sitting.

"C'mon, Rei! Row a little faster!" Nagisa whined.

"You should row, too!" Rei scowled.

"But I'm the captain here!"

"Great, we're being led by Captain Hook's five-year-old son." Chigusa muttered, rolling her eyes.

"I heard that!"

"Can you guys just shut up for five seconds?" Gou sighed.

"I bet people from the shore could hear us, with all this noise we're making. By now, people would've noticed we're gone already." You stated matter-of-factly, albeit already a little green.

"Hey, we're getting really close now!"

Nagisa did what you all dreaded.

He crawled over to the far end of the lifeboat, which was already burdened with the weight of Rei, Chigusa, and Gou.

You freaked out. "Nagisa, don't! We're gonna cap-!"

He leaned over the side, and the world flipped.

You felt cold and completely disoriented. Which way is up?

After a while, you regained your bearings, and broke the surface. You spit water out, and glared at the blonde floating a few feet away, your face red with anger.

"...size."

A/N:

Whew, that was long, haha.

Two of the entries for this drabble series are long enough to be oneshots already. What should I do? -starts sweating-

And oh, just a little note. I submitted an OC for Suicidebirds' Iwatobi Swim Club for Girls story, and she got in as a side character! If only I could bear my weight, I'd do fifty cartwheels in a row.

My OC, Miura Tsubaki, is in an AU version for Suicidebirds' story. I've already started writing her with Mako, which is to be released when Free! ends.

To the anons, thanks for the reviews! E-cookies for all.

A penny for your thoughts, maybe?
