Crush

Getting Burned

(Rei's P.O.V)

-Later that night-

I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stick up as warm breath hit the skin there. I turned around in my chair hastily, nearly colliding with Nagisa's forehead as I met his bright, pink eyes.

"N-Nagisa-kun...what are you doing?" I asked. I pushed up my red glasses which were slipping further down my nose, and I was careful not to touch the lense.

"I'm watching you study." he admitted innocently.

You were a bit too close to me...it didn't feel like watching...

"Don't you have to study for your psychology class?"

"Nope."

I raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure? Don't you have a test?"

"Yup. But I don't need to, don't want to."

I sighed, mumbling an ok. He did look quite bored after all.

"Why is watching me so interesting?"

"You're Rei-chan, so everything you do is interesting."

This freaked me out a little. Well, I didn't know him that well, nor did I know his friends. Maybe this was his personality.

I was just hoping that if I met his friends later they wouldn't scare me like this...

I sighed and looked back down at my textbook, ignoring the fact that Nagisa was still behind me. I was grabbed suddenly, causing me to let out a small gasp. I felt Nagisa put his head against mine affectionately.

"Your hair is soft, Rei-chan..." he mumbled.

He said something else among the lines of "Smells nice.."

His actions only made me smile. He was actually quite cute...

What are you thinking!? That's crazy! My thoughts screamed.

But I didn't care.

I was falling for Nagisa.

-The next day-

Half asleep, I felt something tickle my nose. I opened my eyes to find Nagisa merely inches away from my own. I had screamed.

Loud.

It was not very beautiful, indeed.

The tickling sensation was simply Nagisa's hair brushing against my nose. Again I asked,

"N-Nagisa-kun...what are you doing?" I pushed him lightly off me, and he sat cross-legged on the bed in front of me. I grabbed my glasses and put them on.

"I wanted to know if you were awake." he said. Again, he was very innocent saying it. The tone his voice had made me instantly forgive him.

"Well, I'm awake now.."

"Good~" he chimed. And he smiled, tilting his head.

-That afternoon-

After class, I walked back to the dorm with Nagisa.

He suddenly proposed a race, confidently yelling that he would win. He ran ahead, laughing.

I was worn out, so I kept walking, not bothering to run. I spied a yellow notebook a foot away.

I quickened my pace, picking it up. The cover had 'Nagisa Hazuki' written on it in black Sharpie.

My curiosity got the best of me, and I opened it.
