Notes
     Hello again!! I hope everyone is enjoying this series so far~ We're
     back at the Halloween Party, but this time it's a ReiGisa!
     ***Underage*** - Nagisa is already 18, but Rei is only 17... Just
     wanted to be safe.
     Thanks as always to my beta, DolphinGirl! (Hey, she's posted a story
     on AO3! It took a lot of courage cuz she never posts...check it out
     if you have a chance! Sexy privateers and a merman~)
See the end of the work for more notes
“I’m sorry, Rei-chan, I just don’t see it,” Nagisa cocked his head to the side
and raised an eyebrow.  His boyfriend let out a heavy sigh and adjusted his
glasses before striking a slightly different pose.  “So…” the blonde tried
again, “our costumes are the same theme because I’m an astronaut and you’re a…”
he paused, furrowing his brow in concentration, “pediatrician?”
“Rocket Scientist!” Rei corrected and visibly deflated.  They were dressed and
ready to go to the annual Samezuka Halloween Party and Costume Contest.  “Don’t
you see how we go together?”  The blue-haired teen asked.  “The beautiful
partnership between the Rocket Scientist and the Astronaut, furthering our
studies of our galaxy and beyond!” he ended dramatically, violet eyes looking
at his boyfriend expectantly.
“But how does that work if you’re a pediatrician?” Nagisa sniggered and then
covered it up with a cough.  Rei frowned.  “I wish you’d wear the costume I
brought you,” he pouted and held up his duffel bag.  “A chef and an astronaut
may not be eligible for the partners’ costume contest, but it would be super
fun to imagine Chef Rei-chan making me lots of cakes and treats.”
“Nagisa-kun…” the taller boy sighed.  “You should have just left that thing at
home,” he shook his head.  “Now you’ve carried it all the way to the station
for no reason.”
“It’s no big deal,” the shorter boy smiled up at him.  “I had to pack my
overnight bag for our sleepover anyway,” he squealed.  Rei felt his face flush
at the thought.  He and Nagisa had moved their relationship forward and,
although they rarely got alone time during the week, the blonde had somehow
convinced the Ryuugazakis that regular Saturday night study sessions and
sleepovers were a fantastic idea.  Of course, they rarely did any actual
studying and almost never got any sleep.
“Besides,” Rei cleared his throat.  “Being a chef isn’t beautiful.”  Okay, so
maybe he that was a stretch, but he wanted the subject closed quickly.  Makoto
and Haru would be here soon and then they were only a few minute’s train ride
away from Samezuka Academy.
“But at least they’d be able to tell what you were,” the blonde pouted.
“My costume is fairly obvious,” the blue-haired teen argued.  Magenta eyes
looked up at him challengingly.  Uh-oh.  He’d awoken the beast.
“We’ll just have to see when Mako-chan and Haru-chan arrive,” the shorter boy
smiled deviously.  He loved Nagisa, he really did, but sometimes the
breaststroke swimmer could be downright evil.
“What do you get if you win?” Rei almost didn’t want to know, but, after dating
Nagisa for almost a year now, he knew it was better to just go along with it. 
Never try to swim against rip currents.  Never try to dissuade Hazuki Nagisa
when he looked determined.
“If they can’t guess your costume, I get...” the blonde put a finger to his
chin in thought.  “Oh!” he exclaimed.  “Rei-chan has to let me eat as many
treats as I want at the party.”
“You’ll get a stomachache…”
“And,” Nagisa added, hands on his hips, “I get to choose what game we play
tonight,” he added with a sly smile.  Violet eyes blinked in confusion.
“But I don’t own a gaming system,” Rei quirked an eyebrow.
“I know,” Nagisa grinned.  The taller teen was going to ask just what he meant,
but he never got the chance.  “Haru-chan!  Mako-chan!” Nagisa waved both arms
in the air excitedly.  Rei turned and saw the two upperclassmen. 
Makoto was dressed in a very accurate firefighter’s uniform and he was carrying
Haru.  It was hard to see what the raven-haired man’s costume was because he
had Makoto’s flame-retardant jacket draped over his shoulders.
“Wow, what great costumes!” Nagisa beamed at them.  “Mako-chan is a fireman and
Haru-chan is a…” he blinked, pulling the coat apart so he could get a better
look at his team’s vice-captain.  “Oh, Haru-chan is a mermaid!” he cheered. 
Rei was amazed at how realistic the shimmering light blue fin looked.  Just
like everything about Haruka, it was beautiful.  Still, the older boy must not
have been able to walk at all in that thing.
“Makoto-senpai, have you been carrying Haruka-senpai this whole time?” Rei
asked, violet eyes showing concern.  Makoto nodded with a weak smile.  He
looked exhausted already.  “Aren’t you tired?”
“Makoto is strong,” Haru blinked up at his kohai.  “Just the other afternoon,
he held me up against the wall while we-”
“Haru!” Makoto shouted, face brighter than a tomato.  The raven-haired man
shrugged and laced his fingers behind his boyfriend’s neck.  Rei felt his
cheeks heat up at the implication and heard Nagisa snicker beside him before he
cleared his throat.
“What do you think of our costumes?” the blonde asked, posing.
“Very nice,” Makoto answered.  “You’re an astronaut and Rei is a…” he frowned
slightly, brows drawn together in concentration.  “Are you a pharmacist?” 
Nagisa burst out laughing and Rei felt his face heat up even more.  Makoto
looked embarrassed.  “Am I wrong?”
“I couldn’t tell what he was supposed to be either,” the blonde hiccupped,
wiping a stray tear as it threatened to escape.  “I thought he was a
pediatrician.”
“Really now,” the blue-haired teen frowned slightly.  Enough was enough.  “My
costume isn’t that difficult to figure out, right, Haruka-senpai?” he
implored.  Surely the beautiful and intelligent Haruka wouldn’t let him down. 
The merman looked up at him, blue eyes completely serious.
“Dentist.” he said and Rei’s face fell.  Nagisa erupted into another fit of
giggles, slapping his boyfriend on the back. 
“Wrong again,” the blonde gasped for breath.  “Go ahead and tell them, Rei-
chan.”  Rei straightened his white lab coat and adjusted his glasses. 
“I am…” Rei began.  The two third years looked on as the bespectacled boy
flared his coat out, striking a pose, “a Rocket Scientist!”  The others stared
at him blankly for a moment, Nagisa still trying to regulate his breathing
after his most recent fit.  Violet eyes looked over at his friends expectantly
and then Rei gasped.  “Oh, I almost forgot,” he fished into his pocket and
pulled out a pair of safety goggles, stretching out the elastic and putting
them on the top of his head.  “How about now?”
“Oh, yeah,” Makoto offered with his normal friendly smile.  “I can totally see
that you’re a, uh,” he paused as if trying to remember.  “Um, a rocket
scientist,” he finished.
“Don’t lie to him, Mako-chan,” Nagisa rested a hand on their captain’s shoulder
and shook his head.  “I told Rei-chan he should have gone with the other
costume.”
“But it didn’t fit with our theme,” the blue-haired boy nearly pouted, shoving
the goggles back into his pocket.  “And besides, there’s nothing more beautiful
than Chemistry, the identification of the substances of which matter is
composed and the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they
interact, combine, and change!” 
A cricket was heard in the distance.  Perhaps that had been a stretch as well.
“Anyway, I brought the other costume just in case,” Nagisa held his duffel bag
forward with a smile.  “Maybe Haru-chan will want to change into something with
legs,” the blonde offered.  Rei wondered if Makoto was really going to carry
their vice-captain around all night.  Then he spotted a headlight to his left.
“There’s the train,” Rei pointed and then sighed.  He’d lost his wager with
Nagisa.  Even though he’d never gotten the chance to ask what he would have
received had he won. The blonde smiled up at him, magenta eyes sparkling.  This
was going to be a long night.
Soon they were walking through the main gate of the prestigious Samezuka
Academy.  As usual, the private school had spared no expense.  There were a few
booths outside lit with lanterns serving various snack foods.  Nagisa was
already running toward one and buying five of each item before Rei could catch
him.  He chased after his boyfriend and, making good on his end of the deal, he
didn’t say a word about the amount of treats the blonde was eating.
“Ugh…” Nagisa moaned and put a hand to his stomach.  The two had just walked
over to a bench and had taken a seat. “Why did you let me eat so much, Rei-
chan…?” he groaned and put a hand over his mouth as he hiccupped.
“I lost the wager,” the bespectacled teen said simply.  “Of course, I do wish
you had a bit more control over yourself, Nagisa-kun,” he frowned.
“I have self-control,” the blonde pouted and then his face turned green. 
“Gonna puke,” he turned to the side and Rei grimaced as his boyfriend revisited
all of the treats he’d purchased only moments before.  He rubbed the smaller
boy’s back as the last wave washed over him.  “What a waste…” magenta eyes were
watery as he looked back at his boyfriend.
“Well, I suppose you’ve learned your lesson about over-eating sweets,” Rei
handed the blonde a handkerchief, which the older teen accepted and wiped his
mouth.
“It’s a good thing I brought a toothbrush in my overnight bag,” Nagisa unzipped
his duffel and dug around until he found the item he was looking for.  “I’ll be
right back,” he grinned, obviously feeling better, before he walked off in the
direction of the restrooms.  Rei sighed to himself.  At least that part of his
‘payment’ was over.  Of course, the blonde had mentioned something about
getting to choose the game that they would play later tonight.  He wasn’t sure
what that meant exactly.  Maybe there was a checkers set in the older teen’s
duffel.
“Oh, I’m surprised I found you so easily, Rei-kun,” a familiar voice broke him
from his thoughts.  He looked up and saw his club manager.
“Hi, Gou-san,” he greeted.  “So, you decided to come after all.”
“Yeah,” she smiled.  “What do you think of my costume?” she asked, giving a
little twirl and showing off her witch outfit.
“It’s really cute.  Very frilly,” Rei said and then blushed.  That was
something Nagisa would say.
“You think so?” the redhead beamed at him.  “Anyway, Seijuurou is parking the
car, so I’m going to head inside and wait for him,” she said.  “Care to join
me?”
“No thank you,” the blue-haired teen said.  “I’m going to wait for Nagisa-kun
to return from the restroom first,” he explained.
“You mean that Nagisa-kun?” she asked, pointing behind him.  Rei turned and saw
a large tent pitched over a long table.  Nagisa was one of five people sitting
at the table.  He furrowed his brow for a moment, trying to figure out just
what was going on.  Then, he heard a whistle blow and watched as the men,
Nagisa included, started to eat churros at a fevered pace.
“Nagisa-kun!” he shouted and ran over to get his boyfriend, leaving a
speechless Gou in his wake.  He pushed his way through the small crowd of on-
lookers and reached the table just as his boyfriend had finished the last
cinnamon and sugar-coated treat in his basket.
“The winner, number 4, Hazuki-kun!” the announcer proclaimed and the crowd
cheered.  “Here’s your gift certificate,” he handed the blonde the award.  It
was then that Nagisa caught sight of his boyfriend, magenta eyes looking a
little guilty.
“Na…gi…sa…kun…” Rei ground out.  “Weren’t you just on the way to restroom to
brush your teeth because you threw up all the other sweets you ate?”
“Ah, well, on my way back, I saw this contest and you know how I love chur…” he
paused, swallowing nervously, “…ros.”
“You’re hopeless,” the blue-haired boy sighed and then smiled despite himself. 
“I trust that you’re feeling better?”
“Much,” the blonde grinned up at him.  Rei handed him his duffel and he stuffed
the toothbrush, along with his gift certificate, back inside and hoisted it
over his shoulder.  “Let’s go find Mako-chan and Haru-chan,” he suggested.
When they entered the main gym, they knew they’d found the right place.  Most
of the party-goers were in here, dancing and swaying to the music.  There was a
large stage behind the DJ booth that had a banner reading ‘Costume Contest’
over it.  They walked in and looked around for their missing friends.
“Ah, Ai-chan!” Nagisa waved when he spotted a familiar face.  The silver-haired
boy turned toward them a smiled.  He was dressed in a black and white-striped
prison uniform, one found only in cartoons, with a plastic shackle around his
ankle and the attached ball and chain in his hand.
“Nagisa-kun, Rei-kun,” he greeted them.  “I’m glad you could make it.”
“Thanks for inviting us,” Rei bowed and then adjusted his glasses.  “Nice
costume.”
“Thanks,” the shorter boy smiled.  “Momo-kun and I are entered in the partners’
contest,” he explained.
“Oh, is Momocchi a prisoner, too?” Nagisa asked, eyes wide.  “Too bad you guys
didn’t wear those maid outfits again,” he giggled, “you looked so cute.”  Ai
did his best to glare at the blonde, but it was hard when Nagisa’s laughter was
so infectious.  “Anyway,” Nagisa struck a pose, “Rei-chan and I are going to
enter the partners’ contest, too.”
“Wow, your costumes are really good,” Ai said and then frowned slightly.  “But
I don’t see how you two are a pair.”  He chewed his bottom lip.  Nagisa was
already smiling and Rei felt uneasy.  Ai was a smart boy.  He was sure he’d
figure it out.  “I just don’t see how an astronaut and a veterinarian could be
partners.”  Nagisa lost it, nearly falling over, clutching his sides as a fit
of giggles overtook him.
“A vet…a vet…” he was wheezing, barely able to form the words.
“Oh, I guess I got it wrong?” Ai lifted his brows.
“Actually, we’re an astronaut and a rocket scientist,” Rei explained, over his
initial shock of no one getting his perfectly accurate and beautiful costume. 
Blue eyes widened in understanding, but the silver-haired boy still looked
slightly confused.  “Ah, anyway,” he cleared his throat.  “We were wondering,”
he paused, “have you seen Makoto-senpai?”
“Oh, yeah,” Ai turned toward the punch table.  “He went over to get something
to drink.”  They could barely see their senpai’s sandy hair over the crowd. 
“Here, I’ll show you the way,” he said as he began navigating through the
crowd.
The room was pretty crowded, but they managed to make it to the other side
without running into anyone else, literally and figuratively.
“Ah, so you are still here,” Ai said to Makoto as they made their way over to
the Iwatobi team captain. 
“Thanks Ai-chan,” Nagisa smiled, catching up to the silver-haired boy.  “We
were looking everywhere for you, Mako-chan,” the blonde pouted and crossed his
arms over his chest.
“You were eating your weight in churros,” Rei corrected.
“Still, we didn’t know where they went,” the shorter teen huffed indignantly. 
Then magenta eyes blinked in surprise, looking around.  “Where’s Haru-chan?”
“Oh, I went to get us punch,” Makoto answered.  “I left him over there by the…”
he pointed, but when they turned, there was no Haru.  “I could have sworn…”
“I was talking to Nanase-san just before you two found me,” Ai also looked
puzzled.  “He was just there.”
“Did he go to the restroom?” Rei suggested.
“Did he say anything?” Makoto asked worriedly.
“Well, right before I spotted Nagisa-kun, he asked if our pool was open,” Ai
chuckled.  “But you don’t think he went-” He didn’t get a chance to finish. 
The Iwatobi team shared knowing glances before they ran off in the direction of
the large indoor pool, leaving a stunned Ai in their wake. 
After what they thought was a near-death experience for their vice-captain, the
older man was pulled out of the pool, soaked, but safe and sound.
“You definitely can’t stay in that costume now,” Nagisa sighed, eyeing the
sopping blue fin.  “It’s a good thing I’m always prepared,” he grabbed his
duffel from the ground and handed it to Makoto.  Just as the taller man bent
down to pick Haru up, Ai and Momo walked in.
“So he was in here?” the silver-haired boy was astonished.
“Nanase-san really loves water,” Momo mused, golden eyes wide.
“Ai, are the showers in the locker rooms open?” Makoto asked, gesturing to his
soggy boyfriend.
“Not at this hour,” the breaststroke swimmer sighed.  “Oh, but you can use the
showers in the dorms,” he offered.  “But you’ll need a keycard,” he frowned.
“He can use Rin-senpai’s,” the orange-haired boy suggested.  “He and Sousuke-
senpai are probably still in the dorm.”
“Still in the dorm?” Rei asked, quirking an eyebrow.
“They were wearing the same costume, but I don’t think they planned it,” Ai
explained.  “I think they were trying to determine who had to change.”
“Which is a shame because we would have made a great group entry,” Momo
sighed.  “Two cops and two prisoners,” he pointed to his and Ai’s matching
costumes.
“And I told you, there isn’t a group division,” the silver-haired boy groused.
 Makoto and Haru left to go to Rin’s dorm, leaving the four younger men alone. 
“Well, shall we head back to the party?” Ai suggested.
The party was pretty fun.  They ran into Gou again, this time with Mikoshiba. 
Neither of them could guess the connection between Rei and Nagisa’s costumes
either.  The blonde was probably going to burst a blood vessel if he went into
any more fits of raucous laughter before the night was over.
All the dancing in their heavy costumes was starting to make them sweat.  The
two remaining Iwatobi teammates excused themselves and walked over to the row
of chairs against the wall.
“So, let’s see,” Nagisa said when they were alone.  “That’s six people who
guessed your costume incorrectly,” he paused, “seven, if you count me,” he
added with a giggle.  “And…” he looked up, putting a finger to his chin, “how
many people guessed that you were a rocket scientist?”  Rei felt his cheeks
burn.
“I get it,” the bespectacled teen frowned.  “My costume isn’t as obvious as I
originally assumed.”
“So, I win again,” the blonde said triumphantly.
“You won once,” Rei furrowed his brow.  “I don’t recall placing any other
bets.”
“Well, fine,” Nagisa crossed his arms over his chest.  “But I still get to pick
what game we play when we get to your house,” he purred, leaning close.  “But I
think you’ll like it.”  Rei was still confused.  Now his boyfriend was giving
him bedroom eyes.  Just what kind of game did he have in mind?  He felt his
pulse quicken.
The party was nearly over when Makoto and Haru returned from their excursion to
find the showers.  Nagisa berated them for being late and both men just
blushed, the taller far more profusely, of course.  The pair didn’t fail to
notice that both Haru AND Makoto were wearing different clothing than before,
but neither said anything.  Haru handed the blonde his duffel bag and thanked
him for the borrowed costume, even though they’d missed the contest and Makoto
was now in street clothes.  After that, they said their goodbyes and got on the
train, tired and ready to go home.
When they had to switch lines, the upperclassmen waved and thanked them again. 
Makoto was carrying Haru once again, this time on his back, because the shoes
in Nagisa’s bag were too small for the raven-haired swimmer to wear.
“Well, I didn’t think the person who ended up borrowing the costume would be
barefoot,” the blonde shook his head.  “And my shoes aren’t that small…” he
pouted.
“What’s wrong with having small shoes?” Rei quirked an eyebrow as they boarded
their train and took their usual seat in the corner.
“You know what they say…” Nagisa sighed.  “Small shoes…small feet,” he raised
his light brows, waiting for his boyfriend to understand.  The blue-haired teen
had no idea what he was talking about.  “And small feet means a small…” magenta
eyes looked down toward his crotch to emphasize his point.
“B-but y-yours isn’t…” the taller boy swallowed, cheeks and ears turning a
bright shade of red.  His boyfriend smirked up at him, eyes twinkling.  “I
mean…” he looked around the train, swallowing nervously.  “Don’t make me say
it.”
“Aww, Rei-chan, you’re so cute,” the blonde beamed.
“I’m not cute…” Rei adjusted his glasses and hid his face behind his hand. 
They spent the rest of their short train ride in comfortable silence.  Finally,
when they reached Rei’s stop, they groggily stood up and made their way out of
the train car.
“Man, I’m sleepy,” Nagisa yawned for emphasis and stretched his arms out.
“Me, too,” the taller teen agreed.  “I think we may actually just sleep at this
sleepover,” he chuckled drowsily.
“Oh no,” the blonde suddenly stopped walking and put his hands on his hips. 
“You haven’t finished paying me for losing the bet,” he pouted cutely and Rei
couldn’t hide his small smile.  His boyfriend was too adorable for words,
sometimes.  Of course, that could be the sleepiness talking.
“Right,” Rei cleared his throat and they began walking together again.  “Just
what sort of game did you have in mind, Nagisa-kun?” he asked.
“Nuh-uh,” the shorter boy tutted, “It’s a surprise.”  Soon they were standing
in front of the Ryuugazakis’ door.  The blue-haired teen dug into his pocket
for his house key and slipped it into the lock.  He opened the door quietly. 
It was barely after ten, but he didn’t want to wake his parents if they were
already asleep.  The two sneakily crept into the house, trying to keep quiet. 
Suddenly, Rei’s cell phone started to ring.
“Wah!” Rei blurted and pulled his phone out, nearly dropping it on the floor in
the process.  He answered quickly, halting the ringing, and whispered into the
receiver.  “Hello?”  Nagisa looked up at him expectantly, wondering who
called.  “Oh, I see,” he said.  “Yes,” he paused.  “Understood.” 
“Rei-chan, who is it?” Nagisa finally asked in a hushed voiced.  Rei held up a
finger to silence him for a moment.
“We will,” he said.  “Good night.”  The taller boy ended the call and let out a
sigh.  “I guess we didn’t have to worry about waking them up,” he said.
“Your parents?” the blonde put the pieces together.
“Yeah,” Rei answered.  “They’re still at their friend’s Halloween party and
think they might have to spend the night,” he explained.  No sooner were the
words out of his mouth, did a wicked grin spread across his boyfriend’s face. 
“I thought you were sleepy,” the bespectacled boy deadpanned.
“I’m never too sleepy for playing with Rei-chan,” the shorter boy grabbed his
hand and dragged him to his bedroom, ignoring his protests about the speed and
their probability of tripping and falling.  “Okay,” Nagisa said when they were
in the taller boy’s room.  He shut the door, out of habit, and sat down on
Rei’s bed.  “Time to play.”
“And just what are we playing?” Rei asked, half-exhausted, half-wary.
“I wanna role play,” magenta eyes shimmered in the light.  Blue eyebrows rose
in question.  “It’ll be fun,” the blonde insisted.  “I’ll be an astronaut about
to leave for a long journey to Mars and you can be the astronaut’s wife.”
“The…wife…?” Rei drew his brows down.  “Wouldn’t that require our positions to,
uh,” he paused then, a blush spreading across his cheeks, “our positions to be
switched?”
“Oh, I hadn’t thought of that,” the older teen frowned.  “Okay!” he was all
smiles again as an idea struck him.  “I’ll be the astronaut about to go to Mars
and you can be my rocket scientist,” he beamed.  Rei was still confused. 
“You’ve been getting my ship ready for my long journey and filling it with
enough rocket fuel and now you have to fill up my love-o-meter to the max.”
“That’s…” Rei felt second-hand embarrassment for his boyfriend.  “Is that
really what you want to play?” he asked, sounding desperate.
“Don’t be a spoilsport,” Nagisa huffed, “Let’s just leave it at me being an
astronaut who’s going to have to go without your sweet loving for months, maybe
years!”
“Nagisa-kun…” the blue-haired teen blushed.  “How can you say those kinds of
things with a straight face?” he asked.  The shorter teen put his hands behind
him on the mattress, resting his weight on them with his eyes downcast.
“Does Rei-chan not want to do it with me?” he asked, pout evident in his tone.
“Well, no, I didn’t say that-”
“But Rei-chan doesn’t want to play my game,” Nagisa sniffled.  “Even though I
won our bet fair and square,” he added for good measure.  Rei knew he was being
baited.  But he took it anyway.
“Nagisa-kun,” he walked over and put a hand on either side of his lover’s face,
tiling his head up so he could look him in the eye.
“Captain Hazuki,” the blonde corrected, biting his lower lip and blinking up
innocently.
“Yes, Captain Hazuki,” the taller teen blushed, not used to this sort of
foreplay.  “It’s going to be a long time before we see each other again,” he
sighed, trying to remember anything from the drama class he’d taken as an
elective in middle school.  “We should do it.”
“Rei-chaaaaan….” Nagisa whined.  “How is that romantic at all?”
“I froze!” he said, adjusting his glasses and blushing.  “I’m not good at this
sort of thing.”  The blonde sighed and shook his head, but looked up at his
boyfriend with a smile.
“Then let me take the lead,” he offered and grabbed the hands on either side of
his face, holding them in his own.  “Dr. Ryuugazaki,” he looked up and then
away, his cheeks tinting, “you’ve done so much for me over the past few
months.”  He took a deep breath and looked up at his lover.  “I wish I could
repay you.”
“There’s no need,” Rei was finally getting it.  “I was just doing my job.”
“But you always paid special attention to me,” the blonde said and then
gasped.  “I mean,” he turned away again, biting his lip. “I felt like you
did.”  Rei cupped his cheek and turned him so their eyes met again.
“I can’t deny that I did,” he licked his lips nervously.  “Out of all the
candidates, you showed the most promise,” he lowered his hand to Nagisa’s chin,
stroking the shorter boy’s jaw with his fingers.  “You performed all of the
tests beautifully,” he rubbed a thumb over the blonde’s lower lip.  “It’s no
wonder they chose you.”
“I should be happy,” Nagisa smiled for a moment and then frowned, “but now I
have to leave for almost a year,” he sighed, “just when I finally realized my
feelings for you.”
“Captain Hazuki…” Rei’s breath caught.  He knew they were just playing a game,
but Nagisa looked so fragile just then.  He looked beautiful.  “Let’s confirm
our feelings,” he said and the blonde snapped up to look at him.  “If only for
tonight,” he grabbed the back of his boyfriend’s head, pulling their faces
closer, “let me have you.”
“Dr. Ryuugazaki…” the blonde’s breath was hot against his lover’s lips.
“Call me Rei,” the taller said before swooping in and capturing his boyfriend’s
lips, tongue darting out to taste him.
“Rei-chan...” Nagisa moaned into the kiss and fell back against the bed, the
taller teen on top of him.  “Ah…” he gasped when Rei kissed a hot trail down
his neck.  Suddenly, those heavy costumes were stifling and very much in the
way.  Rei pulled back to shed his lab coat and loosen his tie.  He leaned back
down and started to unzip Nagisa’s costume.  “Rei-chan, hurry,” the blonde
looked up at him, magenta eyes dark and pupils dilated.  Rei removed the
jumpsuit easily and tossed it to the ground. 
“Beautiful,” he breathed as he looked over his boyfriend’s flushed body. 
Nagisa was only in his boxers now, a light sheen of sweat on his skin from
wearing the heavy costume.
“You, too,” the older teen reached up and pulled at his boyfriend’s tie.  Rei
took the hint and removed the satin fabric before unbuttoning his shirt and
tossing it to the side.  He unzipped his pants and made to pull them down, but
small hands covered his, halting his actions.
“Nagisa?” he looked up.
“Rei-chan,” he pulled the hands away and replaced them with his own on the
waistband of Rei’s pants.  “Let me…” he purred and tugged them down, falling to
his knees on the floor in front of his boyfriend.  Rei looked down and
swallowed.  No matter how many times Nagisa had done this to him, he would
always feel butterflies in his stomach.  “Is this okay?” the blonde asked as he
wrapped his fingers around Rei’s erection in a loose fist, his cheek resting on
his boyfriend’s inner thigh.
“More than okay,” the taller teen swallowed.  Nagisa smiled up at him. 
“Lay on the bed,” he ordered gently and Rei obeyed.  The blonde walked over to
his duffel and fished around until he found what he was looking for. “Oh no,”
he frowned as he pulled out a pink-tinted bottle.  Rei propped himself up on
his elbows to see what the problem was.  “I think my new bottle of lube opened
in my bag,” he complained.  He rifled through the bag, inspecting his change of
clothes and pajamas.  “Nothing seems to have gotten wet,” he drew his light
brows together.
“Everything alright?” Rei sat up and adjusted his glasses.
“Yeah,” Nagisa shook his head and walked over to his boyfriend, holding the
bottle in his hands.  It had the Romanized words ‘Love Jelly’ written on its
side with a picture of a winking strawberry character.  “Now, lay back down,”
he giggled and playfully pushed a hand against Rei’s chest until the taller
teen had his head against the pillows again.
“Aye aye, Captain,” Rei said, trying to go back to their game.
“I’m not that kind of captain, Rei-chan,” Nagisa leaned forward and kissed his
boyfriend.  “But I’ll forgive you, since I didn’t give you adequate time to
prepare for our little game,” he said as he pulled back and poured some of the
sweet-smelling liquid into his palm.  He crawled back a bit until his face was
level with his boyfriend’s member.  He rubbed his slick hand over the hard
flesh, until it was completely covered.
“Nagi…sa…” Rei moaned at the feeling of his lover’s hand on him, but the blonde
wasn’t done yet.
“This is supposed to be strawberry-flavored,” Nagisa said and licked a hot path
up the underside of the taller teen’s erection.
“Haah…” the blue-haired boy moaned and gripped the sheets beneath him.
“You taste even better than usual,” the blonde licked his lips and took his
boyfriend into his mouth as far as he could.
“Ah, Nagisa…s-so…so…” Rei bit his lip and fisted the sheets.  He knew his
boyfriend was good at this sort of thing.  Call it a natural talent.  Or
perhaps it was from the number of ice cream bars the blonde had consumed in his
lifetime.  But whatever the case, that hot mouth and little pink tongue never
failed to bring him straight to the edge.  “If you k-keep doing, ah, that,” the
taller teen gasped, “I’ll…I’ll…”  Nagisa took the hint.
“Rei-chan…” the shorter boy pulled away and wiped the saliva and excess lube
from his lips.  He crawled up and kissed his boyfriend.  Rei could still taste
the artificial strawberry on his lover’s tongue, but beneath that was the
naturally sweet flavor that was solely Nagisa’s.  Rei rolled them over without
breaking the kiss.  He was so close just seconds ago and now all he wanted was
to make sweet love to his boyfriend and find completion deep inside him.
“Nagisa,” he breathed when they came up for air. “Is this position okay?” he
asked.  The blonde looked up at him and nodded.  He reached to the side and
grabbed the pink bottle.  “Do you want me to use this new one?”
“As tasty as it was,” Nagisa wrapped his arms around his boyfriend’s neck. 
“I’d rather we use our old standby,” he smiled and pulled him down for a kiss. 
The blonde was a great kisser, too.  Rei sometimes wondered just who had been
lucky enough to have been kissed by the shorter boy before he came into the
picture.  But he quickly dismissed the thought.
“I love you,” Rei said when they pulled apart.
“I love you, too,” the blonde grinned and released his hold on his lover’s neck
so the taller boy could reach into his nightstand drawer for their well-
utilized bottle of lube and a condom.  Rei poured the liquid into his palm and
coated his fingers while Nagisa removed his boxers and threw them to the
ground.  The first finger slid in easily.  “Mm…Rei-chan…” the shorter teen
hummed.  “More…”  Rei added a second finger and slowly stared thrusting into
his lover, loving the little gasps that escaped Nagisa’s lips.
“Feel good?” he asked as he added a third, stretching his boyfriend’s entrance
and reveling in the choked gasp he’d elicited.
“So g-good,” the blonde replied, bucking his hips as Rei curled his fingers,
just barely brushing his prostate.  “Ah, don’t tease me,” Nagisa panted and
gripped the taller boy’s wrist, staring into his eyes.  “I want Rei-chan’s,” he
moaned, pupils blown.  “Please…”
“Sexy,” Rei breathed, not sure if he’d said it aloud or not. He slipped his
fingers out and grabbed the condom, unwrapping it and sliding it on.  He lined
himself up with his lover’s opening and reached up to brush blonde bangs from
his boyfriend’s eyes.  “You ready?” he asked, wanting him so badly, but not
wanting to hurt him.
“Yes,” Nagisa wrapped both his arms and legs around his lover, trapping him. 
“Take me, Rei-chan,” he urged.  Rei needed no further encouragement.  He slid
in slowly, biting his cheek as the blonde’s tight heat sucked him in.  He would
never get tired of this feeling: being one with Nagisa.  When he’d completely
sheathed himself, he stopped, arms shaking, as he waited for his boyfriend to
adjust to him.  “It’s okay now,” Nagisa removed a hand from behind Rei’s neck
and threaded it in the taller man’s dark hair.  “You can move,” he said before
pulling him down into a kiss.
“You f-feel amazing, Nagisa,” Rei pulled away to gasp.  “So beautiful,” he
panted, thrusting deep into his lover.  He was getting close already.  He still
hadn’t recovered from the blonde’s earlier ministrations.  Rei leaned down and
nipped at his boyfriend’s chest, closing his lips over a nipple.
“Ah!  Rei-chan!” the shorter teen gasped and arched his back.  He turned his
attention on the other pink bud, never slowing his pace.  He wanted to see his
boyfriend unravel beneath him.  Hear him brokenly moan his name as he toppled
into the abyss.  Feel him tighten around him, squeezing until he, too, tipped
over the edge.
“Nagisa,” he leaned down and breathed in his ear.  “Cum for me,” he begged, his
own thrusts growing erratic as he felt the telltale signs of his impending
orgasm.  Rei quickly grabbed the blonde’s neglected member and stroked him. 
“Please…cum for me,” he tilted his hips and brushed his sweet spot.
“Ah…Rei-chan…g-gonna…oh…” the blonde bucked his hips and threw his head back,
screaming his lover’s name as he came.  Rei lasted barely a second longer
before a wave of pleasure washed over him.  He collapsed onto his lover, both
of them gasping for breath.  Slowly, Rei pushed himself back up and caressed
Nagisa’s face.
“I hope you’ll remember me,” Rei breathed.
“Remember you?” magenta eyes blinked in confusion.
“When you’re flying off to Mars,” the blue-haired teen chuckled.
“Oh, I forgot about that game,” the blonde threw an arm over his head as he
caught his breath. “It was still fun, though,” he grinned.  Rei nodded.  It had
been fun.  But being with Nagisa was always fun.  Stressful at times, but
always fun.  Rei slowly pulled out and lay on his side, allowing his boyfriend
to rest his head on his chest.
“I really do love you,” Rei leaned down and kissed him.
“And I love you the most,” Nagisa giggled against his lips.  “Dr. Ryuugazaki,”
he added, but was silenced by another kiss.
