This is Ryugazaki Rei. I am afraid I am unavailable to speak to you on the PCD right now but I will make certain to get in touch with you as soon as I can.

Thank you and have a good day.

[Soon, he's relaxed again, turning the page when necessary as he continues reading the book in a quiet tone. It's intimate that way, just them. He likes that actually.]

[cutelilshit]

[Nagisa tries to anticipate Rei's hand every other page to do the turning for him, but sometimes he's a little late and actively bats Rei's hand away so that he can do that instead.]

[sparklefly]

[Rei blinks the first time his hand is batted away but finally just lets Nagisa turn pages to focus on reading to him.]

[cutelilshit]

I just wanted to do something to help, is all.

[sparklefly]

It's fine. It helps.

[cutelilshit]

Good. I don't want to be annoying on such a big day. I'm trying really hard!

[sparklefly]

Nagisa-kun, you aren't annoying me at all. I'm honored by your company.

[cutelilshit]

[He leans a bit and pecks Rei on the cheek, smiling.]

I'm glad! I wanted to do something I know you like.

[sparklefly]

Thank you...

[He sets the book down for a moment.]

What do you want to do next time?

[cutelilshit]

Hmm....

[He relaxes against Rei in thought]

Look for more books? There's someplace I passed by awhile back that would be fun to check out again. It looked like there were lots of random things in there.

[sparklefly]

...You want to look for more books?

[cutelilshit]

Well... if it lets us do this more often, it'd be nice to have lots of different books to read instead of the same ones over and over, right?

[sparklefly]

I just thought you might want to do something else. Not that there is anything wrong with this but I wanted to see if there were hobbies of yours we could do together too.

[cutelilshit]

Well I appreciate that Rei-chan... but... I just don't know what hobbies I could really do in a place like this.

[sparklefly]

What do you like to do most days? We can figure something out.

[cutelilshit]

[He looks down at his necklace and plays with it, smiling]

Making things like this. Or finding the things to make them.

[sparklefly]

Then that's what we'll do. We'll find things so we can make those.

[...Even though he sucks at art. A lot.]

[cutelilshit]

[Could've fooled your boyfriend]

Awesome!

[Big ol' grin]

Where do you normally look?

[sparklefly]

The mall or some of the abandoned shops...

[cutelilshit]

Oh the mall... [Snicker]

Of course... [Continues giggling]

Can we... go there maybe?

[Nagisa can't help but keep thinking of the last time they talked about going shopping at the mall. Clothing shopping, changing rooms...

The look on Rei's face was priceless.]

[sparklefly]

...Nagisa-kun, why are you laughing?

[cutelilshit]

Nothing, nothing at all!

[Lies and you know it Rei.]

[sparklefly]

Nagisa-kun.

[cutelilshit]

I was just...

Remembering...

That first night you told me about the mall...

Aaaaaand we talked about the changing rooms?

[Fingers poking together while he giggles some more.]

[sparklefly]

[He turns bright red.]
