[ shrieking with laughter, he'd jump away like he touched a hot coal if not for the fact that Rei is still holding onto him so instead he pretends like he's so shocked with himself, splaying the fingers of both hands over his mouth. gasp, scandal. look at these stupid big pink doe eyes, so fake innocent. oops??? did i do that???? tee hee????????? ]

Oops. Hehehe... I had no idea you were gonna be so flustered! Now I'm surprised!

[ XD

no but he is a little tiny bit flustered, himself. maybe ]

_{[...Why did Nagisa look so surprised when he was the one who did that? Rei just blankly stared at him for a moment until the surprise expression was explained to him, really. But even then, he wasn't quite sure if he bought it, since he had every reason to be flustered right now, right?!?!?! ]}

Sorry! I didn't mean to surprise you..I've just...never done that?? And you did it so easily!!!!!

_{[ It's not hard to kiss someone's cheek, Rei, but okay. More importantly...Was he supposed to kiss his cheek in return now? He still hadn't given his acceptance speech!!! ]}

[ my lord rei he's teasing you. cheek kissing is a particular talent of his, he once caused Rin to run backwards out of a racetrack and into his house pissing himself with terror and uguus. Rei is obviously a braver, more stalwart man. he knew there was a reason he liked the guy so much. ]

It just takes practice! You can do it back, iiiiif you want to! But you don't have to! You look like you might pass out any second now... I'm not trying to kill you on the first day, I swear!! Do you need to sit back down?? Maybe I should fan you with a palm leaf until the vapors go away!

_{[ Rei is not that brave, really, he's just trying to accept the fact that they can now...do this sort of thing. He could kiss Nagisa any time he wanted--o-on the cheek!!! For now!!!!!!!!! Goodness, this made him so nervous to think about that this is what Nagisa actually wanted and would make him happy and maybe...maybe he could kiss him on the cheek.

Just not right now, since Nagisa is right, he might pass out if he does that. ]}

I...would enjoy doing that back! Just--give me a few moments! I'll be alright, this will definitely take some getting used to!!!!!

_{[ Breathe...it's okay...it's okay...that this is gay...oh god this is so gay... Rei actually allowed himself to breathe for a moment and then smiled at him, not really for any particular reason, but just because he's happy. ]}

If that sort of thing does take practice, I'll be sure to try my best to learn--for you--?!!! _{[ He made it sound like it was a question, but it wasn't. ]}

[ "oh god this is so gay" indeed. Nagisa can hardly believe he was ever worried. why does anybody freak out about this stuff at all anyway??? it was so easy!!! nothing even went remotely wrong!!! (it's because he's still full to the brim with doubt and worry—is he going to be good enough, what if he comes on too strong and freaks Rei out, what if they don't last, what if this changes the dynamic of the team, what if Rei decides he doesn't like him after all... etc). ]

Hehe, don't worry, you can study that kind of science with me whenever you want!!

[ MAN, HILARIOUS, he's had these pickup lines on speed dial for A YEAR. he laughs and hip-checks Rei playfully before moving to extricate himself from their eternally long embroace. get it. em bro ace. just guys being dudes. just dudes beING JUST KIDDING, ACTUAL GAY. ]

Do we have to go back already? I don't think I could sleep even if I wanted to!! Let's swing together instead!

[ flopping back down on his swing, that is the end of the discussion. down with bedtime, f school. ]

_{[ It's alright, Nagisa, because Rei is also worried about those exact things as well since this all happened within the span of a day, and he's still surprised that this happened so fast since he's never even had a crush before!!! He doesn't understand much himself, and is worried that Nagisa will get bored with him and that it will change their friendship--but that just meant that he had to do his research to make sure he would not get bored!!!

Wait science...this was science??? He might have found a new form of science that he enjoyed, which was weird...was this even science?? He would have to research this, and yes, he was planning to go home and probably stay up on the internet searching about "romance" and "dating." ]}

Ack--!! _{[ In response to the sudden hip bump. ]} Thank you. I'm always interested in learning something new about science. Perhaps we will study that during our next study session! _{[ Does he realize what he just said or is he actually talking about getting a book about the science behind romance...no one would ever know. ]}

It's past both of our bedtimes, but you're right, I'm not sure I could sleep right now either due to the adrenaline rush, I suppose. _{[ ???? ]} But we can't stay out too late!!! We do have school tomorrow too, and I'm sure both of our guardians would worry!

_{[ Rei Ryugazaki...staying out late on a school night for the first time. He would be worrying about getting the proper amount of sleep, but he does want to spend more time with Nagisa. So, here he was, going to sit down in the swings next to Nagisa...when he got an idea. ]}

Would you rather swing together or have me push you in the swings? Both is also acceptable, I just thought that you would like to be pushed as well.

[ wtf, what. he has to glance over at Rei just to make absolutely sure he still has that dopey look on his face because he can't possibly know what he just said. nope, he still looks like a nerd. good........ whew. the last thing he needs is to turn their afterschool study hall into Sexy Studyhall, it's not like he needs more reason to not pay attention and that was basically the worst yaoi manga he ever read. it was nothing but academic jokes and besides which, it was teacher/student and that's not even the same thing as this. oh god. now it's in his head. FOCUS.

he shakes his head quickly, almost not quite hearing Rei's idea, but his brain catches up a second later and he reaches his hand out. ]

Mm-mm, we have to swing together, at the same time, and hold hands while we do it! ...that's always been a secret wish of mine. —Holding hands while swinging, I mean.

[ um like what else would you need to clarify about, please stop. ]

_{[ He had to give it a moment to think about how safe holding hands and swinging would be, since you are supposed to keep your hands on both chains at all times!!! Rei obviously couldn't say no to Nagisa, especially since that had apparently been a secret wish of his for a long time, and even though it was probably an hour past his bedtime now, he didn't see the harm in it as long as they didn't swing too fast.

He slowly reaches out his hand to take Nagisa's into his own, already calculating the exact speed he should go so that they can swing in sync and not end up on the ground or hurt. ]}

A secret wish? I'm honored you shared this with me, but we can't swing too high or fast while we do this, or it could be dangerous. Due to our differences in height and weight, I have already determined that I will either have to go faster or slower to keep up with you so that our hands can remain together at all times.

_{[ Shut up, Rei....he's turning a cute, romantic moment into something no one cares about--that and he probably just gave Nagisa the idea to swing as high and fast as he can...rip. ]}

If you think you can keep up! I'll have you know I'm a professional swinger, not even the stars fly as high as I can!!

[ A PROFESSIONAL SWINGER INDEED, YET ANOTHER MAN CORRUPTED. that may have all been the nerdiest and least romantic garbage Nagisa has ever heard, but he's still delighted as can be and feels nothing but warm fuzzy bunnies and butterflies (lol) in his kokoro when Rei takes his hand. he gives it an inadvertent squeeze before he kicks off, immediately swinging his legs hard enough that he'd probably go blasting off into the stratosphere if not for Rei holding him back.

countdown until one of them falls off the swing and breaks their asshole. ]

Nagisa-kun, are you aware of the meaning of the word "swinger"?

_{[ He knows he meant the fact that they were on swings and swinging right now, but he could have chose a different...way to say that, he supposed. Not to mention who even is a professional at swinging??? ]}

You---Nagisa-kun!!!!!

_{[ WHAT DID HE JUST SAY...."Don't go too fast or high" and yet here he is, being pulled by Nagisa to where their swings are awkwardly not in sync at all since he was not prepared for that at all. He had better start swinging, or one of them would break their asshole indeed. So here he goes...attempting to keep up with Nagisa but also slow him down at the same time, which probably wasn't working at all. ]}

You're going too fast! One of us will fall off--please keep a tight grip on my hand and slow down!!!!

You're going too slow!!! Keep up with me, Rei-chan!

[ isn't it such a shame that all his power is in his legs because that's all you need to swing like a champ. this is basically the jankiest swinging ever, because they keep jerking each other back and forth from being out of sync and he's pretty sure one of them is going to get their shoulder ripped out of its socket eventually, but he's still laughing and hooting like he's on the world's greatest roller coaster. keep it down nagisa or the wolves will hear you and come out for a snack :\ ]

I'm not going to slow! I'm going the perfect speed to keep up with you!!! You're going too fast--please slow down!! It's dangerous!!

_{[ He says that, but he's picking up his pace to match Nagisa's, or well, he tried to anyway. They're both being loud, so it's not like Rei could tell him to be quiet or they'll disturb whoever is unfortunate enough to live around this area at this time of night, probably trying to sleep.

But then...there's a brief moment...where Rei finally gets in sync with Nagisa. He looks so proud of himself in that single moment that didn't even last but for a few swings here and there, but even though they're probably both out of sync again, he felt the need to boast. ]}

Did you see that, Nagisa-kun?!! We were in sync!!!! That was all thanks to my proper calculations and increasing my speed to match yours! But it seems you have also sped up, which I will state again---PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!!!

[ !!!! for one shining moment, they weren't being completely ridiculous about this. he loses his momentum because he pauses to look over, so they have another split second of being well-timed. ]

Rei-chan, we did it! You just have to swing your legs harder!! Like you're trying to actually kick the sky! Then you won't keep falling behind.

[ nagisa is 5 and what is this ]

Ooh, I know! We should catch up again and then jump off at the same time!!

_{[ Kick his legs harder? Of course he could do that, but he was afraid that Nagisa's and his own force would break this swing set since wasn't it made for children anyway? (Implying that they're not children already.) ]}

What--I do not wish to kick the sky!!! Why don't you match my pace?! It's much safer!!!

_{[ Well, it wasn't really, since he had sped up to try to match Nagisa after all. Rei didn't want to speed up or jump out of this swing set, but here he was, trying to match up to Nagisa once again despite his protests. ]}

JUMP!?! I refuse!!! That is definitely not safe and I would rather swing at a dangerous height than jump out of this seat!!!! Won't our arms get tangled into the chains anyway?!?!? _{[ No, Rei, you're holding hands in front of the chains, so it would be okay. ]}

Of course they won't!!! Come on, we're jumping!

[ he's working his legs to get some SERIOUS ALTITUDE, assholes will be broken on this night. and if you think he's going to let go when he jumps just because Rei doesn't want to you have another thing coming. ]

Ready?! On three! And then jump jump JUMP!! One... two...

THREE!!!!!!

[ there he go.......... the penguin has achieved lifdoff. he takes a flying leap out of the swing at peak height and yanks Rei along with him. it's just a good thing neither of them were synced up so they probably never managed to swing high enough that a fall like this would kill them. maybe. ]

We are not jumping!!!!

_{[ He tried so hard to slow down, but then Nagisa starts counting down...RIP their assholes. ]}

NAGISA-KUN DON'T YOU---AHHHH!!!!!

_{[ If Nagisa hadn't had a death grip on him which made Rei tighten his grip on Nagisa since he jumped, he probably would have been okay. But, no, of course not. He was sent flying too, while screaming, and even though he probably didn't go very far since he didn't jump on purpose, he was still screaming like he was going to die. His glasses achieved more liftoff than he did. Goodbye glasses.

How would they land? Rei just wanted to reach the ground, but also try to shield Nagisa from the impact of the hard surface.... He couldn't see anything due to his glasses taking off, so it was a blurry mess. How they landed, he wasn't even sure, but the ground definitely hurt his knees. ]}

[ Nagisa screams like a banshee as they sail like a double rainbow all the way across the sky (yeah, yeaaAAAHH; SO INTENSE), but he's screaming in joy and delight and not fear for his own life. and also laughing and acting like this kind of senseless attempted suicide is fun. sadly there's something to be said about jumping while attached to another man as opposed to flying solo, a harmless twig, and it does not do wonders for sticking the landing. he rolls a little in the air instead of landing smartly on his feet like he might normally, and the joy fades from his eyes mere moments before impact.

smash.

the upside is Rei's unsuspecting torso is there to break a good chunk of his fall, just not enough that he doesn't end up skidding his cheek in the dirt and getting sand in his hair. ]

Owww... hahaha... that was fun!!!! Ow... ouch.

Oof--Nagisa-kun!?!?

_{[ Did a rock or Nagisa himself land on him? Rei squinted and sure enough, it was a blurry head of blonde hair on him, so that was definitely Nagisa. He patted around nearby for his glasses, but he didn't see them at all, of course when he heard the other saying "ow" he looked worried, while squinting still of course. ]}

Are you okay?! Nagisa-kun I told you that this would be unsafe!!! Are you hurt?!?!

_{[ If he could see...he could tell that his cheek was a little scraped up. Sure, he could see the outline of Nagisa's face, but other than that, he couldn't. ]}

Where are my glasses?

I'm okay! I think your ribs broke my fall.

[ or is that his abs. he'd take the time to pat around and see exactly which anatomy he landed on but instead he gets distracted by the question of missing glasses and hoists himself up on one arm to look around for them. it's kind of dark, so it's hard for even him to see all that clearly, but after a moment of squinting around he spies a glint poking out of the sandbox. ]

Aha!

[ crawling over on hands and knees to grab them, what is getting up and walking like a normal person??? he carries them by one arm and brings them back, good fetch!, and flops back down next to Rei on the ground, holding them out. ]

Here... are they broken?? They look kinda wobbly... I think your glasses got more sweet air than we did...

It's a good thing you're lighter than me.

_{[ He could have broken an ab, Nagisa.

Anyway, now Nagisa is off of him and crawling around to try to find his glasses of him and what does he do? He does the same thing as him, despite everything being blurry. How old were they, really? Rei jumps and looks excited once he heard that Nagisa found them.

HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF. ]}

Hm... I think they're fine for the most part. _{[ He sitting there checking each screw, lens, and frame part just to make sure nothing was cracked either. He was lucky it landed in a soft area. ]}

I think I can use my kit that I have when I return home. The "wobbly" part is probably just from a loose screw.

_{[ He puts them back on to see and notices Nagisa's cheek, finally. ]}

Nagisa-kun!!!! Your cheek.... _{[ He frowned and immediately tried to wipe some dirt off of his face. ]}

[ he has a glasses kit, what the fuck is even in that??? what a dork!!!! it's so cu...te...ah... cheek touching. he shuts one eye slightly, more out of surprise than any real pain. it's not much of a scrape, maybe a pebble or two got to it but the worst is the dirt. and also that he'll probably get lice from the sand. good job. ]

It doesn't hurt, it's okay! I think my fat head weighs more than the rest of me because I always bump it when I fall.

[ nagisa i work in a brain injury clinic and i know what this means.

also he may or may not be staring him straight in the face because he has absolutely no idea where else to look. a highly fascinating tree to their left???? ]

_{[ When he shut one eye like that Rei automatically thought that it was adorable and he couldn't help but smile like a bit of a dork in return. Even if it wasn't much of anything, he's still dusting off him, then notices his hair...and starts to brush that out too. ]}

There is also sand in your hair!!! _{[ Don't you dare shake it all over the place like a dog either or one grain of sand will end up in Rei's eye, probably. ]}

Actually, it's impossible for your head to weigh more than your body, unless you have a certain kind of condition. Your weight is definitely in your body with your muscles, Nagisa-kun.

_{[ He's not really staring at him in the face, so he doesn't notice. He's trying to get the sand out of your hair, goodness will there ever be an end to this sand. ]}

[ probably not. there's going to be some crawdads and mollusks and shit in there, maybe even an oyster with a pearl. his hair is a lot more dense than it looks, too, so getting down to the scalp is a journey in itself. but there won't be any sandy dog shaking this time because he is enjoying the attention way too much. attention whore. ]

I do have a condition, it's called fat head syndrome. [ he laughs EXTREMELY stupidly and can't even feel weird about it, turning his head this way and that like a cat trying to get a scratch in just the right place. ] Hmmmhhhhh...

_{[ Rei's trying so hard to get Nagisa's hair under control, but it's just not happening, there is too much hair. He would definitely insist that Nagisa go straight home and take a shower, no matter what time it was!!! ]}

Nagisa-kun, I don't think that's a scientific term for anything.

_{[ He doesn't buy that for a second, when he really knows half of Nagisa's head is never ending hair. Although, then Rei noticed that he seemed to be following his movements when he's trying to pick sand out of his hair. He's...enjoying this...which makes Rei blush and also get a "know-it-all" look on his face. ]}

If you keep moving like that, I won't be able to get everything out! I would suggest an immediate shower, though, since I cannot get everything out of your hair!!!
