Strawberry Ice Cream || Rei/Nagisa
It was freezing- literally.
The entire world (or so it seemed Nagisa) was covered in fine layer of frost that twinkled and shimmered beneath the streetlamps that illuminated the pavement. Funny, it was hardly 6 o’clock and yet the sky was as black as though someone had spilled an entire pot of ink over it. Well, save for the tiny pinpricks of light offered by the stars, and Nagisa couldn’t help but pause in his tracks in order to admire them.
The reason Nagisa was making his trek in the first place was simple- he was hungry. He wasn’t hungry for just anything, though. No, Nagisa wanted one thing and one thing only.
Strawberry ice cream, to be more specific. Yes, in the middle of winter, in this world so frosted that it could have been made of gingerbread, Nagisa was positively craving ice cream, but he was reluctant to go and get some without somebody to share it with, and the person he most wanted to share it with was Rei. He had given Rei no sort of warning that he was coming to visit him, so when he rung the doorbell, he couldn’t help but feel as though he were throwing an itty bitty surprise party!
Above his scarf, all that was visible were the tip of his cold, pink nose, his flushed cheeks, and his eyes, so although his beaming smile was hidden, his eyes shimmered with excitement.
