"Rei-chan?"
Nagisa was normally a loud, rambunctious, eager person. He always had been that way, and he was quite the social butterfly. Rei had always admired this, (sometimes annoyed by it, but nontheless, he did respect it). But today, Nagisa had been quiet up until this point. Nagisa's stance which was normally straight-backed with his head held high, but today, lacked in all of the above. His books were hugged close to his chest, and his eyes were downcast. Rei had noted his behavior as odd, but didn't originally intend to pry into matters unless Nagisa had directly asked.
Rei wasn't fond into poking his nose where it didn't belong.
"What is it, Nagisa-kun?" Rei had tried to be tender with his voice. Nagisa had caught this and lifted his head to look up at Rei. Nagisa was smiling pretty brightly, and Rei felt more at ease seeing it.
"You're an expert on all things beautiful, right Rei-chan?" Nagisa had stopped and leaned against the road barrier separating the beach and the pavement. Rei stood straighter, adjusting his glasses onto his face. Nagisa winced at the tiniest bit of glare from the glass on the edge of the frames.
"I'd like to believe so, yes." Nagisa smiled then, placing his books on the ground with his bag. Rei tightened the straps on his backpack. "What's this about, Nagisa?"
"Am I beautiful?"
Immediately, Rei's face burned pink, and he went wide-eyed. He began to stammer as he grew more flustered. "W-What are you talking about Nagisa?? W-What kind of question is that? Why would you ask me that sort of question? And what do you even mean? Are you speaking of by society or are you talking about your swimming or-"
Nagisa began to laugh nervously, and he shook his head. "No, no, Rei I'm not asking that. I'm asking if Rei-chan, expert in all things beautiful, thinks I'm beautiful. As a person, or features. I'm not asking about my swimming. I'm asking about me."
Rei stood dumbfounded, his mouth slightly agape. He was silent, as Nagisa kept his head low, glancing up at him, with his chin dipped closer to his chest. Rei tried to stammer out an answer, but his tongue felt heavy and in the way. Nagisa glanced down at his feet, shoveling the bit of sand off the pavement.
Rei had finally got his tongue where he wanted it to sit in his mouth, and right when he was about to answer, Nagisa laughed again, forced, solemn, all while looking up at him.
"I should probably get going now, Rei-chan. I guess I'll wait for your answer tomorrow? Or not, it's fine." Nagisa bent over to pick up his stuff, and when he stood back up, he felt a pair of lips on his cheek.
"Nagisa... You're very beautiful. Probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
Nagisa turned to look at Rei, and he felt his smile widen, much cheerier. He kissed Rei's cheek, and then bit down on his lower lip. "I'll see you tomorrow, alright?"
And with that and a few pitter patter of feet, Rei stood on the side of the road, far more confused than he had ever been before.
It wasn't until the bing on his phone, that indicated the notification saying, "Hazuki Nagisa wants to add you to his relationship status," that gave him a clue what had happened.
"NAGISA!!!!!!"
