trick or treat for nagirin please🥺
TRICK-OR-TREAT
come trick-or-treat in my inbox requesting ficcies and I’ll either treat you to some fluff or humor or trick you with a horribly twisted sad AU  (I’ll use a random generator to pick trick or treat)
send me “trick or treat” and a character(s) or ship in my inbox and I’ll write you a short little thing (I’ll be doing these all of October so send away!)
I missed these two almost as much as I missed HaruRei so thank you for the prompt!
treat
The sky is a blue so bright it hurts to look at it.
Cold wind rattles the windows.
A sneeze comes from somewhere in the house.
It’s here.
Rin doesn’t even bother to brace himself when he hears the footsteps pounding down the hallway.  There’s no point.  He’s not going to win this battle.  He sits on the edge of the bed and props his chin in his hand, waiting for the inevitable.
Nagisa skids to a stop and bounces off the door frame a little bit before careening into the bedroom.
“It’s hoodie season!”  Rin nods at Nagisa’s declaration.  “Now give me yours.”
“You realize,” Rin says as he takes off the sweatshirt he’s wearing and hands it over, “that you can borrow my sweatshirts literally any time you want to, right?”
Nagisa snatches the sweatshirt and yanks it over his head and he looks far too adorable when his stupid blond head pops through the neck hole and his stupid hair falls in stupid little messy bangs.
“Not the point.”  Nagisa gets his arms through the sleeves and hugs himself across the stomach.  “This is so much better.”
“Maybe for you,” Rin grumbles.  “For me it means I won’t have any sweatshirts to wear because you’ll steal them all and I’ll have to go buy an entire new batch of sweatshir— okay you’re right this is better.  I love shopping for clothes.”
Nagisa launches himself into Rin’s lap and wraps him in a tight hug.  “This is why you’re awesome and we work so well together Rinrin!”
“You’re a demon,” Rin replies even as he flops them backwards onto the bed and rolls them up in their winter quilt.  “A true menace to society.”
Nagisa laughs and nuzzles as close as he can get.  “I have the best boyfriend ever,” he mutters, breath warm against Rin’s throat.
Rin thinks about the ring he has tucked away where Nagisa won’t stumble upon it, thinks about the late night talks with Haru and Kou, thinks about how Nagisa has been here like this, a warm presence next to him, every moment Rin has let him since they were children.  He tugs the blanket even tighter.
Tomorrow, he thinks, he’ll tuck that little box into the pocket of his sweatshirt for Nagisa to find.  Tomorrow, hopefully, he’ll be upgraded from ‘best boyfriend’ to something even more amazing.
Today he dozes off with the man he loves in his arms for an impromptu nap.

Predator
(//I've had ideas for nagirin fanfics and guess what, motivation too. I'm still so f*cking happy about basketball okay? I should probably warn that this contains nagirei too, though. And lots of angst orz It starts in chapter 5 of ES)
When Rei had come to him asking for help in his swimming technique, Rin's first thought was that it might have had something to do with how the relay played out. He could understand it, though, and even if swimming with his childhood friends had been the best therapy from his Australia breakdown, he couldn’t shake the guilt afterwards when he saw Speedo Glasses' longing gaze at how happy the were as a team.
So yeah, he accepted the deal out of respect and gratitude.
.
He hadn’t really expected to receive homemade cookies, or praise, or casual gossip about how his friends are managing while he's not there, and even if the point of view is not the same and maybe not as accurate as her sister's, who's known Nagisa, Haru and Makoto and since they were children, Rin still tries to let Rei know how thankful he is for that.
Rei smiles somewhat sheepishly and tells him that 'it’s the least he can do for someone as kind as Rin-san.'
.
Somehow, after one of the trainings, Rei mentions the Iwatobi guys falling into the conclusion that he was dating his track ex-captain, and you don’t happen to have any idea as to how they arrived to that particular conclusion, would you?
Rin laughs along, mentioning that it was probably her sister that brought up the idea and the rest went along with it.
And somehow, they end up talking about their love lives or lack thereof, what with Rin being so focused on going pro at swimming and having no time for relationships, and with Rei thinking that 'a person in love is something absolutely not beautiful!'.
And it is not awkward at all the fact that Rin mentions having a small crush on Nagisa when they were children, that somehow, slowly but steadily, evolved into this unrequited love kinda thing. But even if Nagisa's eyes were filled with awe in his childish naïvete, if word of his thoughts got around the small guy, they'd be filled with pity.
"Rin-san should hear the way Nagisa-kun talks about him!" Rei interjects, proclaiming lots of knowledge regarding his friend's feelings, "sometimes, when he tells me about how you were at children, and the things you used to do, I get the feeling that I was only recruited to replace you." He tries not to squint his eyes as he places his googles out of his head and the world swirls into slight blur. "Does Rin-san know the story of my recruitment?"
The redhead could only nod. "Yeah."
(He had heard it. It had been Nagisa chasing Makoto and Haru to Iwatobi to form a swim club.
It had been Nagisa chasing memories at the swimming club who stumbled upon Rin, who greeted him so cheerfully and devoid of angriness towards his lack of letters.
It had been Nagisa chasing Rei to join the swimming club, because he could soar the sky so beautifully, and he could maybe soar the water just so.
It had also been Nagisa who chased Rin to let him into the relay.
It had been Nagisa chasing all the time; and Rin wanted to laugh at the irony. If he was a shark —according to a code Nagisa invented to reffer to his friends—, wouldn’t it just make more sense if he, as a predator, had been the one doing the chasing?)
"But don’t sell yourself short, he probably only sees me as the big brother, since I was the one to tutor him and stuff." He scratches his neck awkwardly, and tries to ignore the slight sting in his chest at the recognition of this fact. "On the other hand, he's totally smittem by you, and it’s painfully obvious from miles away that the feeling's mutual. The boy's got his way to have people wrapped around his little finger..."
Rei can’t help but nod, and Rin tries not to be surprised when, before he goes back to Australia, they announce they’re dating.
He also tries not to show his hurt, but he guesses it’s still pretty evident from the pityful looks he gets from everyone but Nagisa.
Maybe he's just not cut out for chasing penguins, he shrugs off the thought with the custom "so glad for you" speech and goes back to normal the date printed on his ticket.
(When he arrived at Samezuka for the last time, he allowed himself to feel hollow, and to feel dampness engulf his whole face, as well as small sobs to escape his chest, all because of the small voice in the back of his mind;
'Rin-chan's always been a crybaby, after all!')

T, N, Q, V? *3*
T: Any fandom tropes you can't stand?
I never got the whole alpha/omega/beta thing. Or mpreg. It probably has to do with the fact that those tropes are usually pretty oversexualized and that ain’t my scene, but who knows. I just don’t like it.
N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
I actually am working on this myself, but I’d love to see some other people write it, too: the development Rin undoubtedly goes through between seasons one and two. Getting back into the group dynamics, becoming friends with everyone again, becoming close with Rei, spending time alone with Makoto, spending time alone with Nagisa, and a true, lengthy exchange of apologies between Haru and himself. I want it so bad.
Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?
Good lord I have so many. One that immediately comes to mind is a fic where Sousuke and Haru are trying very hard to have sex but they keep getting cockblocked. 
U: A pairing you might like to write for, but haven't tried yet.
I haven’t really written any rarepairs for Rin, like ReiRin or NagiRin or KisuRin, all of which I’d love to write for. I guess inspiration just hasn’t completely struck yet??

WIP Meme
Tagged by @choking-on-roses to share a little bit about my current works-in-progress
A couple of these are multichapter fics that have parts up, so I’ll put in a link
rintori week 2017: yes this ended like two or three weeks ago but I’m still working on it. I got about halfway through the next part before a bout of depression hit and I couldn’t write anymore, even though I know exactly what’s gonna happen. I’m finally get over it but instead I’m just too busy. There’s not much to say about the story. It’s teenage boys being uncommunicative idiots and awkward boners... But I’m actually really excited about this story.
ReiEzio: In the Free! universe in the future. They’re in college. Ezio (asscreed) is a foreign student who ends up in the dorm room next to Rei and Nagisa. Ezio and Nagisa become friends right away but it takes Rei a while to warm up to him. And Rin is dating Nagisa (but still training in Australia). I’ve only written a little bit but I have major feelings about this.
NagiRin: originally this was intended as sort of a prequel to my Rei/Ezio fic but lbr the only thing they have in common is that NagiRin is in it. Also the idea is based on the ending of season 1 and I don’t know how to make Eternal Summer fit, so I might just ignore it. But it’ll also probably be really short so fuck it. Who needs canon? I do what I want. But I have a couple pages hand-written.
RinReiGisa host au: yup this shit it still going. I have the next couple chapters planned. Or they might get combined but I have at least one more chapter planned.
Nagisa piercing: He decides to pierce his ears now that he’s out of high school and doesn’t need to worry about uniform rules. 
And now for some that aren’t Free!. Crazy, right?
AC college au: because I’m that cliche. Yeah, this is probably never getting published, or even finished but I’ve written two half-scenes. In random notebooks so I don’t know where I’ll find them. Main pairing is Leo/Ezio, side of AltMal.
Ouran: Tamaki and Kyoya dated years ago. Now Haruhi and Tamaki are married. But Haruhi is suffering from Tamaki overload. This sound kinda dramatic but it’s actually fluffy comedy shit.
YoI victuri Victor-centric: Victor is going back to Russia soon, and he’s sad because he doesn’t want to leave Japan and Yuuri because this is the happiest he’s ever been. So he deals with depression the only way he knows how--by being super flirty and smiley. 
Oh, shit, I forgot I still have stuff for my renaissance au. I have plans for reigisa in that. And I have some Nitori-centered ideas for my abstergo au. Dammit why can I not finish anything? 
ok who of my followers write and have not been tagged? because I don’t know who to tag. I know @xyliandra has already been tagged but I want a notification what her to tag me so I can be sure to see her answers (peer pressure!)

Easter Eggs pt. 2 — keep you, keep me
I wanted to make this longer but I'm running on 4 hours of sleep orz The prompt was about Rin buying Nagisa souvenirs or Nagisa asking Rin for souvenirs in Australia, which in my head eventually evolved into a full-out competition about who gave the best souvenirs… but I also wanted to connect this one with tomorrow's, and to do that I couldn't really make a competition out of gift-giving to their friends without them going to their respective countries many times (btw did I mention this fuc was from the AU I wrote about Nagisa studying in England???? bc i love that AU so much). and anyways im tired. But I'll write the souvenir competition as a second chapter to this in Ao3.
anyway tagging @moeblobmegane bc these fics are for her♡
Rin rolled his luggage through the aisle, and as soon as he arrived the international flights area in the airport, he was ambushed by a blonde menace.
“Rinrin, you’re back from Australia!” If he wasn’t an Olympic swimmer, he might have just fell from the impact that his little (or well, not so much anymore, he had grown some) boyfriend provoked by crashing into him.
Rin rolled his eyes and patted his back, “yeah yeah,” there was an I missed you too in there, but Nagisa already knew that. “Are you gonna say that every time you come to greet me at the airport?” Nagisa snuggled farther into his chest, his hair tickling Rin’s nose and chin.
“I will say it over and over again because it’s tradition!” The first few times, when Nagisa said that, he would flinch by remembering their re-encounter at ISC, but now he could only think of Nagisa’s bright smile whenever he could meet him at the airport.
“And the others?” He asked while he regained control of his luggage. Nagisa stopped hugging him, and clung instead to his arm.
“Haru-chan and Mako-chan are still in Tokyo, they said they’d be coming over in the weekend. Rei is visiting the first years… though they’re not first years anymore, huh?” He shook himself from his memory, and kept walking until they were at the parking lot. “Ai-chan is working on a project and Momo-chan is wreaking havoc at Samezuka.” He made scary gestures, and Rin was a little worried about whatever Momo was doing to Samezuka.
“And what about you?” Nagisa guided them until they reached a car. If he were to guess, it was probably Nagisa’s parents’.
“Oh, I’ve had vacations since the twelfth. So I’ve been here and catching up with both Iwatobi and Samezuka.” He grinned and opened the car, bringing Rin’s luggage to the back of the car.
“You’ve had vacations since the twelfth?” Rin asked incredulously. He wasn’t complaining about the extended weekend he got (after some bickering with Mikhail and a promise to not stop training his muscles while he was away), but two weeks was… wow.
“I know, right? The kiddos have three weeks vacation, though, and I have so many tests and projects to complete once my vacations are over,” Nagisa sighed and buckled the seatbelt before igniting the car, and frowned when Rin looked a little apprehensive. “What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t know you drived.” He replied belatedly, finally buckling his seatbelt.
Nagisa shrugged as he got them out of the parking lot, having already paid the parking fee. “I usually don’t since my apartment is close to campus, but Rei-chan insisted I get my license since it might come in handy, and it did.” He beamed at him, and for a moment, Rin closed his eyes to sleep a little. The flight had been an early one, after all...
“Soooooo, where’s my gift?” He was trying to unpack, but Nagisa was like a stray cat who just kept getting in the way, meowing for attention. He was currently in his bed, taking as much space as possible, wiggling his arms, legs and torso. “It is only natural to bring souvenirs when coming back!”
“Is my being here not good enough?” He teased, getting a ‘stingy!’ before grabbing a paper bag and throwing it in Nagisa’s face. “Lamingtons. With how much Iwatobi bread I’ve heard you eat, I thought you might like them.”
Nagisa took more time opening the bag than stuffing his face with the pastries. They were very tasty. Probably not as tasty as English pastries, but very close. “Yesh,” he licked his finger, where he still had some jam. “Not quite like rock-and-hopping bread, but delicious.” He agreed.
“And what about you? Found anything you thought I might like in England?” He leaned over, cleaning some crumbs Nagisa had on his face. This close, he could almost feel the muscles that pulled on Nagisa’s face when he smiled.
“Yup, me.” Before Rin could tease him back for being ‘stingy’, as he had already said, he giggled and kissed him silly. “Rinrin doesn’t like sweets, which are literally the best part of my experience so far, buuuuuut, I thought maybe you’d like tea? I dunno, they all seemed to like the Earl Grey,” he shrugged and snuggled closer to his boyfriend, enjoying these sweet short moments they had to themselves. “I also bought some train tickets to Aomori for the twenty-fourth, I already talked to Mikhail and he allowed me to steal you to see ohanami there.” He also wanted to get some Namapon plushies for his Get Mizushimashima-kun Friends Operation, but instead let Rinrin’s romantic heart form its own conclusions from that.

Easter Eggs pt. 1 — Latte Hearts
So @moeblobmegane and I agreed that we need less drama in our lives, and for old time’s sake decided to do another fic exchange! Easter-themed! first prompt was “they pretend to date to get discounts at couple’s cafés”, and while it’s not a fic precisely about that, they do pretend to date to get some sort of discount. *shrug* It’s already May 3rd here so imma post this. This was very self-indulgent, not to be taken seriously, and written while I was doing homework. I also haven’t written nagirin in months so I’m very rusty.
anyway, enjoy!
“Say, Rin-chan,” Nagisa asked, stopping in front of a shop—a latte art café. “Your birthday’s tomorrow, right?” Rin saw a small smirk appear on his friend’s face; he was planning something, and unless he ran for it, he was going to get roped in… whether he liked it or not.
“Yeah…” Nagisa’s smirk just widened, and before he could ask what now, Nagisa grabbed his wrist and dragged him inside the coffee shop. Once inside, he dragged them to a table and made him sit.
“Play along, will ya Rin-chan? I know you’ll like this.” He winked and waved one of the waiters over. Yep, he was planning something.
“Welcome, we hope you enjoy your stay.” He handed them a couple of menus, bowed, and grabbed a notepad and pen from a pocket in his uniform. “Do you see anything you would like to order?”
Nagisa instantly perked up from behind the menu. “Actually…” he sighed, and pouted, “Y’see, Rinrin here… his birthday is tomorrow, and it would also be our one-year anniversary!” Rin resisted the urge to gape. He had a hunch about where this was going. “I know the couples package isn’t available until Valentine’s, but Rin-chan is studying in Australia and he has to go back tomorrow, and I was hoping to give him a treat before he has to go back.” He sighed again, put his menu down, and placed his head in his hands for good measure.
The waiter bit his lip, looked around a little and leaned in to Nagisa, a complicit expression in his face. Nagisa did the same. “Tell you what, my boyfriend works in the kitchen and was the one who proposed the Valentine’s package. I’ll talk to him and convince him to make you one. But please, enjoy your day and cherish each other very much!” Once he said that, he scribbled the order and walked over to another table, a nonchalant expression on his face.
Once he was out of earshot, Rin gave Nagisa an annoyed look. “Why did you tell him all that?” If he was completely honest, he loved fake-dating… in movies. It was always interesting seeing the characters grow closer as the plot advanced… not that he’d tell anyone that. And the point was that this wasn’t a movie, and as much of a romantic as he was, fake-dating with Nagisa just to get a Valentine’s Special while it wasn’t in season yet was just… a little too out there.
Nagisa shrugged and pretended to keep looking at the menu, never mind that he had already ordered. “I don’t know what you mean, it’s not like it wasn’t true.” And okay, yeah, there was that, but…
“Except for the part that we’re dating,” he deadpanned, and pretend-hurt was written all over Nagisa’s face in an instant.
“Whatever do you mean, Rin-chan? Is this your completely un-romantic (and thus, un-Rin-chan) way of breaking up with me?” He didn’t really look at him through the whole ordeal, instead was still looking at the menu (probably thinking of which sweets to hoard the table with, the little shit), and muttering things under his breath. “And anyway, I thought I had made it pretty clear last year, what with me dragging you all over the place to spend time. Don’t couples go to the theater and then dinner as a date?”
Rin sighed again, wondering why he always got into embarrassing (and increasingly impossible) situations every single time he went out with Nagisa. Non-romantically, that is. “Yes, but usually they state that it’s a date. And they usually say they’re a couple.”
“But we have been dating on facebook for over a year!” Nagisa unlocked his phone as quick as he could under Rin’s confused look. He showed him the memory, “look, it says: in a relationship with Matsuoka Rin-chan!” Rin read the screen and then proceeded to massage his temples.
“I don’t have an account. That’s just one Sousuke made once to mess up with me,” he explained, causing Nagisa to gasp before thinking it over.
“That would explain the lack of inspirational quotes on your profile… or why you didn’t answer my DM’s…” he pocketed the phone back and grinned once the waiter arrived with their order—two chocolate shortcakes with strawberries on top (if the ads were to be believed, cream filling instead of jam), and a joint chocolate shake. One of those that had a ridiculously cheesy heart-shaped straws and heart designs on the cup. He cooed a the desserts and immediately started digging on his shortcake. “Anyway,” he said after he was done moaning over the deliciousness of chocolate pastries and Valentine’s specials. “I think you should totally get an account. I know you love letters, since you’re Rinrin and all (and trust me I love them too), but I think that instant messaging is also cool! And it is always a hassle to print pictures in case I want to send some to you.” He grabbed his phone again and started browsing through the menu, then showed a picture of… was that Rei and Gou discussing… the water temperature? “You see, I reaaaaaally like this one, but texting pictures is really expensive, so you should accept my invite links to instant messaging groups.” He pouted and looked over at the chocolate shake. “Oh, look Rinrin! They totally guessed that my favorite animal is a penguin!” He made motions for Rin to look over, and really, Rin was trying to, but this was one hard-to-follow conversation.
“Well, yeah, this is Iwatobi. I guess they’d like to keep it themed,” he shrugged and grabbed a fork, mentally counting to ten. They had already eaten. Dessert was really not necessary. But they were already there, and Nagisa looked so happy as he kept on eating his shortcake, so with Mikhail’s dramatic sobs and weird slangs in mind, he told himself he could always do extra laps in the morning so as not to lose too much muscle.
It tasted… surprisingly good. The chocolate was definitely there, but it was more powered on the cocoa and not so much on the sugar. And the strawberries were fresh, so a little tangy. Still, with the shake that Nagisa was most surely going to pour down his throat, he decided not to eat too much in a forkful. Instead he watching his friend eat, while absent-mindedly stabbing his shortcake.
“We just went to a buffet,” something he still regrets as Nagisa strong-armed him into an eating contest, “how can you stomach all that?” His own stomach still hurt from how much they had eaten, and he had been really close to calling Sousuke for help. The cake-stabbing became a tiny bit more pronounced with his next question, “without getting fat?”
Nagisa just giggled into the chocolate shake. “I thought you already knew the answer to that, Rinrin.” Rin frowned and reluctantly nibbled a little on the chocolate on his fork, trying (for his sake really) to keep going.
“Knew that you were secretly a black hole masquerading as my friend? Probably,” he conceded as Nagisa blinked a couple of times, taken aback.
“No…” then he pouted. “And what a mean thing to say! I am your friend. More than that, actually,” he wiggled his eyebrows and pulled Rin’s shortcake to his side of the table (because of fucking course he had already finished his), digging in with gusto. “And I meant the talk about me being a growing boy.” He tried to look indignant, which in turn made Rin finally chuckle.
“You’re not ‘a growing boy’,” he replied, grabbing a napkin and cleaning the smudge of chocolate Nagisa managed to get from eating while talking. And too quick, for that matter.
“Of course I am a growing boy! How dare Rinrin think otherwise!” He drank the rest of the chocolate shake, puffing his chest as he did so. “I am a growing boy who happens to be your friend, which makes me your growing boyfriend.” He stated, looking proud of himself for some reason.
Rin covered his snort with a cough, not that it looked very convincing. “That was terrible,” but Nagisa didn’t look too beat down.
“But it made you laugh.” And then he pushed a fork full of chocolate shortcake into Rin’s mouth just as he was going to defend himself.
Some things never change, Rin thought fondly instead of berating Nagisa for that.
“Let’s hurry, Rin-chan! I’ve always wanted to go to the karaoke with friends, and if we hurry up, we might get a good booth!”
Rin groaned, letting himself be dragged anyways. “Why are you so excited about karaoke today? We could go tomorrow.”
“But tomorrow Miyako-san’s gonna hoard you all for herself! And Gou-chan too! And don’t think Haru-chan, Mako-chan, Rei-chan and the rest will fall behind! And the firsties want to meet you!” He pouted while waiting for the crossing light to turn green. “This are the last precious hours of alone time I will get with Rin-chan,” he mourned, rubbing his head against Rin’s arm.
“I didn’t know you were on first name basis with my mom.” He pointed out.
Nagisa shrugged. “Yes, well, the first letters I wrote to you had to arrive somewhere,” he said, as if Rin was being silly, “and after the third one they had to redirect to Australia, Miyako-san started inviting me over to eat her delicious food and talk about you.”
Rin rolled his eyes. “Of course she’d do that.” He could easily picture it, his mom and Nagisa bonding over him. Actually he didn’t want to picture it. He was now pretty sure some blackmail had come out of it.
“And we’re here!” Nagisa said, cutting Rin from his musings. Nagisa kept dragging him until they were in a booth, already paid for an hour and on their ways to choosing a song. “Ooh! I’ve heard this one! Aqua gate is about a guy who makes his dream come true. Romantic in true Rinrin style.” He picked it and handed the mic over to Rin, who had little say in the song choice as the music was already playing. Indeed the song was very catchy, and maybe, perhaps, there was a little chance that the lyrics were a little… well, Rin. He wasn’t about to admit he had liked singing it, but Nagisa’s knowing smile (and the click of his phone camera) told him it wasn’t necessary.
A little flustered he walked over and looked at the songs. One title immediately clicked as he looked over at Nagisa. “If I had to sing what you chose, then I call dibs on what you sing.” Nagisa giggled, sitting next to him to look at the options.
“Sounds fair,” he conceded, waiting to hear Rin’s choice. He grabbed the mic, and stood up. “Ready whenever you are,” he winked and prepared himself as Rin clicked on Sunny Soda Breeze. With a title like that, who wouldn’t think of Nagisa’s bubbly personality?
He didn’t notice, but he was staring at Nagisa while he sang. A fond smile on his face. He might complain at being dragged everywhere, but… he also did enjoy days like these. University life was everything he ever dreamed of, but also incredibly busy, and while he enjoyed swimming very much (thrived for it, really), days where he could just relax and have a good laugh were few and far between. Even more so with the Olympics around the corner. And so he watched as Nagisa thanked the sunny shiny soda breeze for good times like these.
At the end he was flustered, and very excited when he said: “Sing a duet with me, Rinrin!” He didn’t even roll his eyes as he accepted.
“Sure, you have one in mind?” Nagisa instantly pointed one in the catalog, and Rin frowned. “But it says here it was meant for five people.”
Nagisa giggled and grabbed another mic for Rin. “We can always make it a duet if we try hard enough!” Rin accepted the mic and got to his feet. “One of the idols in the video dresses up as an astronaut and I really loved it! And there is also this really cute cop who looks exactly like Rinrin!”
“Hey! What does that mean?!” But he didn’t get an answer as Future Fish started.
“Ah, it’s always so pretty seeing the city in pink. The only other time it looks like this is on ohanami, and I don’t really wanna wait too long into the year.” Rin nodded absent-mindedly, for once walking and not running, a feat in and of itself when out with Nagisa. So probably those extra laps in the morning wouldn’t even be necessary, after all.
“I guess. Though I really miss being home here for ohanami. We don’t have stuff like that in Australia.” He mused, to Nagisa’s shock.
“Such a sad thing…” but he perked up instantly. “Then I shall bring Rinrin a pool full of cherry blossoms! Maybe this year he will be able to swim in one like he always wanted, does it rain a lot on April in Australia?” After all, they wouldn’t want a repeat of last time they tried it. Though Rin’s face when he saw it had been worth it. Sort of. He wanted to see how it would look when he actually swam in his dream.
“Don’t be silly, they’d wither before they’d get in the plane.” He grabbed Nagisa’s head in a noogie, “but I appreciate the gesture.” Nagisa smiled, and then got out of Rin’s noogie to point out at an arcade.
“Look! It’s The Arcade!” And there went Rin’s last quiet minutes. “We should totally get Mizushimashima-kun a companion.” He mentioned, making a beeline for the crane.
“You still keep that?” He was… oddly touched.
“Of course I keep him! Rinrin gave it to me, after all!” He adjusted his position on the crane, looking absurdly serious. “Well, aren’t you helping me get him a friend?”
Rin sighed, and stepped behind him. He pretend-cracked his knuckles and grinned. “You’re on.”
They were on the train. Nagisa was already asleep and drooling in his seat. He heard a ring and grabbed Nagisa’s phone, the message notification blaring.
[Nanako-nee: You coming home?]
He debated on whether waking up Nagisa, but his little attempts proved to be useless and just hoped he wasn’t going to get killed for this.
[Uh, hi, I’m Rin. Nagisa fell asleep. I hope there is no problem if he stays at my house.]
His mom wouldn’t mind, as Gou often had friends come for sleepovers. Though he should probably still message her in advance.
[Nanako-nee: Take care of him, won’t you? He talks about you a lot.]
