Reigen's Fantastic World: at Cloud 77 (Chapter 5/5)
“There’s something from last Saturday…” Reigen starts. “Which we haven’t done.”
At his bedside, Serizawa questions, “Conveying my love? My tender desire to offer myself and have you by my side?”
“No, I understood the first time. Uh—”
“Or if it’s the kiss you’re remembering, Arataka.” And at once, Serizawa’s fingers have firmly locked with his, as the esper rocks forth and stands from his chair. Serizawa truly is a large man, thickly bent over Reigen’s bed...
Serizawa over the bed leans in.
“I-I’ll have you know!” Reigen blurts. “I’m a really good kisser. Like really good. Best in the prefecture. I competed at national level.”
Serizawa pauses the briefest moment, acknowledging what has been said. Then he continues—
“If only you saw me in high school,” the con man pipes up again. “At the back of the nurse’s office. The most popular boy in our cohort… Yeah, our school’s idol was absolutely infatuated.”
Every time at the hospital bed, Serizawa stops and checks on the other man, and every time Reigen reassures them both by tugging Serizawa’s tie. Serizawa leans closer. And yet…
“You’re in great hands, reassured. I have more experience than all wives and husbands in this world—”
“Sir,” Serizawa addresses him, in that politely stiff manner halting Reigen because Serizawa hasn’t called him that in ages. “Kindly shut up.”
The con man chokes...
