Nightmares and Daydreams [Reigisa Oneshot]

Nagisa was the very last person on Earth that Rei would have expected to have nightmares.

Rei suspected that he would never have even found out about the nightmares had Nagisa not spent the night on that certain Tuesday, when a storm hit the area so harshly and suddenly that Rei's father had insisted that Nagisa stay the night instead of braving the storm to head home. Nagisa had only been too happy to accept, and Rei was rather happy about the situation as well, if not slightly nervous. After all, the two of them had been dating for a couple of months, (although, he was fairly certain if his father knew about this he might not have been so quick to suggest it,) and the idea of a sleepover with his boyfriend sounded almost too good to be true.

The night went exactly how he assumed a night with Nagisa would go. They studied for as long as Nagisa's attention span would allow, and then they prepared snacks and picked out a movie to watch. As Rei's parents were both home, the two of them were careful about bodily contact, but Rei managed to rest his arm behind Nagisa's shoulders without it looking too conspicuous. Nagisa was making it difficult to focus on the movie with how often he was making a point to continuously scoot closer to Rei and nuzzle his head against his shoulder whenever he had a moment to do so.

As the night wore on and the storm beat mercilessly against the windows of the house, Rei and Nagisa made to Rei's room. They talked and laughed and Nagisa pulled a great many books and magazines out of Rei's perfectly organized and alphabetized bookshelf against Rei's fruitless protests until they were both too tired to stay up anymore. The rain and wind still howling outside, Rei went to his bed and Nagisa took the bedding that had been provided for him on the floor.

It was obvious fairly quickly that Nagisa was not completely content with this arrangement as he began to fidget around under his blankets far more than was necessary. Finally, (and predictably) Nagisa's voice pierced the near-silence that had fallen over the room.

"Rei-chan?"

"Mm. What is it?"

"I really want to sleep in your bed with you. Do you think your parents will come in?"

Nagisa's bluntness always took Rei off-guard.

"Aren't you worried that I'll grind my teeth and keep you up?" Rei couldn't help but reply snidely.

"Aaahh, do you? Rei-chan, do you really grind your teeth?" Nagisa asked in a tone of worry.

"No! I was- Ugh, nevermind. I doubt my parents will come in for any reason... They never do. So... If you want to, then... Come on," he said, cheeks slightly tinted. He lifted up his blankets as means of a formal invitation, and Nagisa gasped happily and sprang up, forgoing walking altogether and opting instead for jumping directly into Rei's bed.

"Rei-chan! I get to sleep with Rei-channn!"

"N-Nagisa-kun, be quiet, you'll wake everyone in the house up! And stop wiggling around, I'm trying to get us situated!"

If he was honest with himself, Rei was glad that Nagisa had suggested it. He would be lying if he said that he hadn't thought about sleeping in the same bed with Nagisa more than once, and although often times those thoughts led to other thoughts that involved other bedroom activities, for the most part he just wanted to be with Nagisa, doing the 'snuggling' thing that he had read about.

Nagisa already seemed to be a professional snuggler; in mere moments he had found himself the perfect spot next to Rei, his head resting just under the other boy's chin and his face pressed into Rei's collar bone, smiling into the warm skin. He bunched his hands at his chest and wiggled closer still.

Rei couldn't help but smile; trying hard not to use calculations, (at the former request of his boyfriend; quote, "Rei-chan, you can't use theories and things like that for relationship stuff! Didn't I tell you that would just set you up to fail? Promise me!") he wrapped his arms around Nagisa's smaller frame, letting out a shallow breath.
