[ ribs will break from the sheer gale force of this hug if Nagisa doesn't let up soon, he may or may not actually be trying to crush Rei literally instead of just romantically GET IT BECAUSE A CRUSH, ok, i delivered that joke poorly and i'm sorry but i don't feel like backspacing.

anyway, he's nice enough not to compromise Rei's fantastic waistline and burst his internal organs and loosens his grip a little so he can look up at him again, shaking his head back and forth like he just can't believe it. he probably can't; in a few minutes he'll twitch his leg in his sleep and wake up from this impossibly saccharine wet dream and the world will be dull and full of teen angst again as usual, surely.

but he ain't awake yet so why not enjoy it ]

I've never been so happy in my life! Not even swimming at regionals was this good! Not even getting my own real life penguin was this good!!! [ does he still have that penguin in his shed or like... what. ] And that's all because of you, Rei-chan.

[ ready to have your life ruined? because he goes up on tiptoe, balancing on one leg because the other is kicked back behind him like a princess, and Rei gets a chu on the cheek. ]

You can give an acceptance speech if you want, now.
