Chapter Text

Nagi's planet —life— was like a 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 and 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 TV. Nothing ever rarely interested him, the only things that did were his cactus, Choki and video games. Waking up everyday and doing the same thing on repeat bored him to death, like literally.

He was all alone, his parents were far away and he was living alone. He barely had any friends except for Reo but hes often occupied with things —school and studying— so he doesn't get the chance to hangout with Nagi a lot. So most of the time, its just him, Choki and his video games.

But he always saw everything as colorless and dull and most importantly, 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜.

But today, Nagi ended up in a nearby park. He didn't know why he went here, but all he remembers that he just happened to go outside because all of his devices are dead.

"So boringgggg." Nagi thought to himself, he was all alone and slumped on a bench, he didn't dare look up at the sky since the sun shone so brightly that it almost blinded him. 𝘽𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 was the only word that could describe his situation.
But thats what he thought until he saw a boy playing near the soccer field.

The boy had dark blue hair and eyes. He was rather small but most importantly, he looked so passionate while playing soccer.

"Hm? " Nagi stood up from the bench he was sitting at and walked towards near the field as curiosity filled him.

He stood near a tree as he watched the boy play. Every move made by him was calculated and filled with elegance which caught his eye.

Nagi watched him for a while until the boy suddenly stopped and looked at him.

"Um... I noticed that you've been watching me for a while and uhh... Would you like to play with me? I can teach you. " The boy nervously asked, holding the soccer ball in his hands.

Nagi didn't know why he agreed after all, it was such a hassle to move around but allas he still agreed.

"Whats your name? " Nagi asked.

"Isagi, Isagi Yoichi. What about you? " Isagi answered enthusiastically.

"Nagi Seishiro. By the way, no offense but you're pretty short. " Nagi said in a toneless voice.

"IM STILL GROWING!! " Isagi crossed his arms and pouted before letting out a small laugh which made Nagi feel all warm inside.

"Anyways, lets get moving, Nagi. " Isagi stated as he took Nagi's hand in his, dragging him to the field.

And that day was the most 𝙛𝙪𝙣 Nagi ever had.

Isagi taught him the basics in soccer, and thats when he found out that Nagi was very skilled at controlling the ball.

"THATS AMAZING NAGI! " Isagi yelled, ruffling the taller's hair.

"Thanks? " Nagi just shrugged it off.

Isagi just smiled softly at him. And thats when Nagi saw 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧. Real, vibrant and beautiful colors. It was like Isagi brought color into his world —which he did— and made it more interesting.

"What is this feeling? " Nagi questioned himself while looking at the boy. Why did he feel like his heart just 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙩? Weird.

He shakes his head, getting rid of his thoughts to focus on Isagi.

"Anyways, i have to go home now. It was nice playing with you, by the way can i get your number? " Isagi nervously asked, taking out his phone from his pocket.

"Yeah sure. " Nagi replied as he took Isagi's phone and put his number in it.

After that, the two exchanged goodbyes and went on their ways.

"Choki, today was really fun. I met a guy at the park, his name is Isagi and hes really something. I dont know why but 𝙞 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣. What a hassle. " Nagi said to Choki, poking it and letting out a quiet "Ouch."

Chapter Text

After that encounter, Nagi and Isagi started hanging out every day. They also found out that they go to the same school (btw rn, they are on break off of school). The two would often hang out at the park where they would either be talking on a bench or playing soccer.

And every time Nagi sees Isagi, its like his day is 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙙, weird but ok.

Nagi also learns more about Isagi, like how his favourite food is Kintsuba or his favourite color is light blue or his favourite season is autumn. Overall, he knows a lot about Isagi, he knows Isagi like the back of his hand.

For Isagi, it was kinda hard trying to get to know Nagi but eventually Nagi warmed up to him and they became a lot more close. Isagi has also started learning more about Nagi, like how he likes lemon tea, his favourite subject is History and how good he is at soccer.

They were 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙨. Isagi was outgoing, caring and helpful while Nagi was antisocial, lazy and quiet. But it never stopped them from being friends.

Even after spring break, the two remained as close as ever. They were like two peas in a pod, in other words, they were 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚.

And as time passed, they have gotten more closer to the point that Isagi's family had met Nagi on more than one occasion. And Reo —Nagi's self proclaimed friend— had also acknowledge Isagi as Nagi's best friend.

Nagi feels grateful for Isagi. Because if he had never met him, then his world would've remained dull and colorless. But Isagi changed that, he showed Nagi how interesting everything is. He taught Nagi how to play soccer which sparked his passion —only slightly though— for it.

Though, sometimes whenever Isagi smiles, he feels weird. Its like his heart did a flip but he doesn't know why. But for now, he shrugged it off as always.

"Hey Isagi. "

"Yeah? "

"Wanna have a sleepover? We don't have school for a week. " Nagi asked, looking at Isagi.

"Oh? Sure!" Isagi answered before realizing what Nagi just said.

"WAIT WHAT?! "

☆♬○♩●♪✧♩

Nagi was sitting on the couch when his doorbell suddenly rang and he immediately stood up to get it.

"Hi? " Isagi gave a small wave.

"Come in." Nagi said as he catches his breath.

Isagi came in and Nagi closed the door behind him.

"So, what do you wanna do? " Isagi asked.

"Video games. " Nagi answered, pointing at his ps4 in the living room.

"Yeah sure! " Isagi replied.

They played video games for a while Minecraft and Genshin Impact. Nagi occasionally teases Isagi about the fact that he literally sucks at video games. But hes not even lying because Isagi is the type to die from a berry bush in Minecraft.

"Damn, you suck. " Nagi casually remarked.

"I'm not that bad, give me a break you know! " Isagi answered as he rolled his eyes before letting out a small laugh.

"Yeah,says the one who literally just got killed by a hilichurl. But hey, whatever helps you to sleep" Nagi talked back, smirking.

"OKAY LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE- "

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

When they finished playing, it was around 11pm —Isagi arrived at 6pm so they played for 5 hours straight— and they also finished eating dinner.

"WOAH! YOU HAVE A BALCONY? " Isagi exclaimed, pointing at the door that leads to the balcony.

"Yeah, but i dont use it that much. " Nagi shrugged.

"Wanna go stargazing? " Isagi asked.

"Sure." Nagi answered, he always knew that Isagi was both an astrology and astromy nerd plus it was getting boring inside so why not?

Isagi's eyes lit up with joy as he dragged Nagi's sleeve to the balcony which made Nagi's eyes widen in shock before returning to normal.

"WAHHH, LOOK AT THE STARS!! THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT!!! " Isagi exclaimed, pointing at the stars above while still holding onto Nagi's sleeve.

"Mhm." Nagi as always was uninterested but for some reason something suddenly caught his eye.

It was 𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙞. He was shining just as bright as the stars, his rosy cheeks, his fluffy dark blue hair and his eyes that outshone the stars.

"Huh? Why does he look so beautiful? Didn't he always look like that? " Nagi thought to himself as he suddenly felt his cheeks getting warm.

"Pretty." Isagi muttered while admiring the stars.

"Yeah, but you're more pretty though. " Nagi blurted out before covering his mouth.

"Huh? What was that? " Isagi asked, turning his head around.

"I-it was nothing... Dont worry. " Nagi explained.

"Ummm okay... But why are your cheeks red? Are you okay? " Isagi pointed out that made Nagi feel even worse —in a good way— than before.

"Yep. Just continue what you were doing. " Nagi gave a thumbs up.

Isagi nodded before going back to admiring the stars.

"Did you know that they said that Mars used to have water on its surface? If it was true, I wonder why it suddenly evaporated or disappeared. " Isagi stated.

"Cool, I wonder why as well. " Nagi answered, not listening to what Isagi just said as he was focusing on something else.

They were there for a little while, Isagi would occasionally say a random fact about astrology or astromy while Nagi would quietly listen, trying to ignore the fact that Isagi was now 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙.

"Warm." Nagi thought, Isagi always had a warm personality so it would make sense for him to have warm hands (or would it).

*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿

The next day, Nagi woke up to a delicious smell that came from the kitchen. It was Isagi, who just finished cooking the most delicious pancakes that Nagi has ever seen in his entire life.

"Oh! Good morning, I made us pancakes. " Isagi said as he set down the plate with pancakes ok the table.

Nagi just nodded slowly —as he was still drowsy from sleep— and sat down on the chair. His head bobbing up and down.

"Dig in! " Isagi said as he handed Nagi a fork, their fingers brushing slightly making Nagi blush slightly.

"𝘽𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧, would do it again. " Nagi muttered while eating which made Isagi blush.

Isagi shakes his head, "Just ask me whenever you want to have a sleepover again, I'll bring some board games next time as well. " Isagi stated, ruffling Nagi's hair.

"M'kay." Nagi answered, "So sleepover again later? " He added.

"WAIT, THAT'S NOT WHAT IM TALKING ABOU-"

Chapter Text

Nagi and Isagi had a sleepover for an entire week, and after that Nagi started acting very different towards Isagi. He started acting more clingy and protective of him. Isagi —the oblivious boy he is— just shrugs it off as always.

Nagi started treating Isagi differently from others, and it was VERY obvious to them.

First, Nagi would complain and whine when someone asks for something or a favor, but when it comes to Isagi, Nagi doesn't think twice to help him (favoritism is real).

Second, Nagi would normally have a emotionless and cold expression on his face around others and his eyes would look bored. But when he's around Isagi, his expression softens and his eyes would light up.

Third, Nagi does NOT tolerate Isagi slander. If he hears even the slightest insult directed to Isagi, whoever said that should pray for their life and start running. Because that man might be a pacifist, but for Isagi he's willing to throw hands (Yes, including you Kaiser so watch your mouth).

And most importantly, Nagi used to be content with being lonely. He didn't like other peoples company —Reo's company is okay, but he mostly prefers to be alone— but that's until Isagi came into his life. He was the 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

"You know Nagi, you've been acting different these days. " Reo suddenly brought up.

"Mhm." Nagi just answered, burying his head in his arms.

"Its about that Isagi Yoichi guy isn't? " Reo asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Yeah, he's my best friend. " Nagi stated, but his eyes was telling a different story.

"Best friend my ass, you look like a lovesick idiot around him you know. " Reo scoffed.

"You're always so clingy towards him when you would normally avoid physical touch from others. You're so obvious, but he's too oblivious to even notice. " Reo added.

"So do you like him? " Reo finally asked the million dollar question.

"I don't know. " Nagi casually answered, but deep inside he doesn't know what the true answer is.

.・。.・゜✭・

And here he is, looking at the calendar which says Valentines Day.

But he didn't expect a lot of people to give Isagi chocolates, which made him feel weird. It was like they were stealing HIS best friend away from him (You're just jealous, dummy).

"Wanna be 𝙢𝙮 𝙑𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨? " Nagi casually asked, they were at the school rooftop, eating lunch in comfortable silence.

"Hm? Sure! " Isagi answered.

Nagi blinked once, twice and thrice before finally processing the fact that Isagi just agreed to be his Valentine.

"So what do you wanna do after school? " Isagi asked, looking at Nagi.

"Arcade? " Nagi suggested, it was the only place he could think of at the moment.

"Yeah, sounds great. 𝙑𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚. " Isagi teased, smirking a little.

Nagi blushes and shakes his head, "Yay." He said before smiling a little.

"NO WAY, YOU JUST SMILED! " Isagi exclaimed, pointing at him. His eyes were full of joy and shock.

"You should do that more often, if you want to of course. Your smile looks pretty. " Isagi stated genuinely, his lips curling up into a soft smile.

And that's when it hit Nagi. All of those weird feelings he felt, the answer to Reo's question. Yes, he did like Isagi. In fact, he was head over heels for him.

He felt his cheeks warming up as Isagi's words echoed his mind. He didn't really like smiling in front of others but Isagi is now the 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

"How the hell did I fall in love? " Nagi asked himself, "But, this feels great. "

"Um. Your smile is pretty too. " Nagi awkwardly responds, looking at the ground.

"Can I say that? I don't have a clue, shit. " Nagi thought to himself, secretly cursing himself for saying something so awkward.

"Aww thank you!! " Isagi answered, smiling again but this time it's more big and bright.

Nagi looks up and melts once again upon seeing Isagi's smile.

Chapter Text

After Nagi and Isagi's classes, they went out to a nearby mall to play at their arcade.

"Look! Look! There's air hockey, let's play!" Isagi excitedly said as he pulled Nagi by his sleeve.

"Game on, striker. " Nagi stated, a slight smirk appearing on his face.

They placed for 3 rounds, it was very intense for the both of them. But in the end, Isagi won.

"LET'S GOOO I WON!!!" Isagi proudly shouted as he ran towards the other side of the table to Nagi.

"Good job, striker. " Nagi said while patting Isagi's head.

"I told you I'd win. " Isagi stated, "But don't worry, you did your best didn't you? You silly genius." He added, his lips curling up into a small small that almost made Nagi fall to his knees.

"So 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 and 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡. I feel like I'm gonna 𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙩. " Nagi thought to himself before aggressively shaking his head.

"Do you have any games in mind that you wanna play? " Isagi asked.

"Hmm, how about this? " Nagi suggested, pointing at a claw machine.

"Sure! I'm not that good at those so I'll just support you from the sidelines. " Isagi embarrassingly admitted, scratching the back of his head.

"Then just watch and learn. " Nagi confidently stated, grinning.

Nagi, the talented genius he is, got a Totoro plushie on the first try.

"THAT'S AMAZING! NAGI! " Isagi yelled, giving Nagi a pat on the back.

"Here." Nagi handed the plushie to Isagi. "It's for you. " He stated, his cheeks having a faint blush on it.

"WAIT REALLY?! ", " THANK YOU SO MUCHH!!! " Isagi yelled as he took the plushie and hugged Nagi tight.

Nagi was caught off guard by the boys sudden action but immediately reprociated the hug.

They played some more games like whack-a-mole that almost made Isagi rage quit while Nagi was standing there cracking up.

"I heard that there's a nearby amusement park, wanna go there?" Isagi asked, his eyes hinting that he desperately wants to go.

"Yeah sure. " Nagi agreed as Isagi proceeded to drag him there while holding onto the Totoro plushie.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

After a short walk, they finally arrived at the amusement park that Isagi was talking about.

"WOAHHHH, THERE'S SO MANY RIDES! " Isagi exclaimed, his eyes beaming with joy.

"Wanna ride the Ferris Wheel? I'm sure the views gonna be great from up there! " Isagi suggested, looking at Nagi.

Nagi nodded as Isagi dragged him to the Ferris Wheel.

They rode it and eventually reached the top and saw the beautiful view.

"WAHHH THE VIEW IS SO BEAUTIFUL FROM UP HERE!!! " Isagi stated, admiring the beautiful sunset.

Nagi, who laid his head on the boys shoulder just hummed in response.

"Thanks for asking me to be your Valentines, you silly genius. " Isagi let out a laugh before smiling as he patted Nagi's hair.

"You're welcome. Though, can I ask for something from you? " Nagi asked as he slowly raised his head, looking at Isagi.

"Yeah, go ahead! " Isagi answered, curious about what Nagi is gonna ask for.

"Can we call each other by our first names? "

"Yeah sur- WAIT WHAT?! " Isagi exclaimed as his eyes widen from shock.

"Yay." Nagi said, his tone having no emotion though his eyes says it all.

"Thanks, Yocchan. " Nagi stated as he patted the boys head who was still processing what just happened.

"Ye-yeah, you're welcome... Sei." Isagi stuttered, his face red from embrassent and just randomly thought of a nickname for Nagi on the process.

Nagi was caught off guard, averting his gaze as his cheeks turned red.

"Oh, uhh do you not like it? Sorry I just randomly thought about that nickname. " Isagi sheepishly stated, scratching his cheek.

"No no, it's okay. You just caught me off guard, keep calling me that. " Nagi reassured him as he looked Isagi right in the eyes.

"Uhh... Okay Sei. " Isagi answered before letting out a smile yet captivating smile that easily made 𝙉𝙖𝙜𝙟 𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙩 upon seeing it.

✧༺♥༻✧
After a while, they eventually went home. Nagi dropped Isagi off at his place.

"Thanks for today, I really had fun Sei. " Isagi said as he pulled Nagi in for a tight hug.

"Thank you as well. " Nagi answered, a small smile creeping up to his face.

They said their goodbyes as Nagi went on his way back to his place.

"Shit. I'm definitely in 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚. " Nagi whispers to himself, finally realizing his true feelings for Isagi as he looks up to the sky.

"Reo... I don't just like him. I love him. " Nagi added.

Chapter Text

Contrary to popular belief, Isagi is actually a well performing student, always having the top grades.
He also has a clean record and has never gotten into any fights, or trouble at all. He also has a reputation for being a kind, warm and perfect student.

People often praise him for being very smart and say that they envy him a lot. But they didn't know what Isagi has been going through just to maintain his perfect image.

For as long as Isagi remembered hes had insomnia. But he didn't tell anyone about this, not even Nagi. He always knew how to cover up his dark circles and how to act even after sleeping for only a hour just to make everyone think that he's okay.

It wasn't that much of a big deal for Isagi, it just meant that he could have more time studying and preparing for tests in advance.

But lately, the pressure of keeping up with the expectations of people has taken a toll onto him. It felt like everyone expected him to be perfect all the time and show no weakness at all. And he's also been overworking himself to the point of sometimes forgetting to eat because all he thinks about is studying.

So now he's here, studying for a test that is a week away because he's scared to get something lower than a 98%. He has already banged his head on his desk 3 times and drank his 2nd cup of coffee.

But everything was all blurry and difficult to understand. He couldn't properly grasp the current topic which made him feel frustrated.

Then he suddenly remembers that he got a literal 70% on a math test that didn't make things better. He could feel it, the judgement in everyone's eyes as he walked around the halls. The unknown whispers.

"Dammit. I'm so stupid. " He angrily muttered, banging his head on desk as he messes up his hair.

Suddenly his phone lit up, it was a text from Nagi.

𝙉𝙖𝙜𝙞: Yoichi? R u gud?
𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙞: Ye, why do you ask?
𝙉𝙖𝙜𝙞: Bc earlier, you looked like you were on the brink of tears when you got handed your math test.

"Dammit, why is he so observant. " Isagi thought to himself.

𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙞: Don't worry, I'm okay Sei.
𝙉𝙖𝙜𝙞: The expression of your face all day after getting that math test says smth different.
𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙞: I'm fine.

Isagi then gets another text, this time it's from Bachira. He just simply asked if he's okay and stuff but Isagi shut him out.

He turns off his phone and started at his reflection in the window.

Tears then started swelling up on his eyes.

"Why am I crying? " He asked himself, aggressively wiping away his tears.

"Why can't everyone just 𝙜𝙤 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮. " He whispered, burying his face in his hands.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Nagi felt like Isagi was acting off. The way his hands shook as he looked at his test, and his eyes that were full of fear.

He wanted to ask him what's wrong, until he heard a few students whispering to each other in the cafeteria.

"Have you heard? That Isagi guy got a 70% on his math test. " The student whispered, giggling.

"I knew he wasn't smart. Everyone's just giving him to much credit. " The other student whispered back.

But the two stopped as they saw Nagi glaring at them, and it sent shivers down their spines.

"Yoichi.... What's happening? " Nagi thought to himself as he walked away. He was worried for the boy, grades didn't really matter but that's only for him, Isagi is a different story.

Later, as they walked home together Isagi still acted different. It felt like seeing another person posses Isagi's body.

Nagi felt like asking him what's wrong but in the end he was too late and they eventually separated paths.

"Bye Sei." Isagi said, waving his hand. A smile appearing on his face, though it didn't reach his eyes.

"Bye bye Yoichi. " Nagi waved back, a weird feeling washing all over him as he sees Isagi walk away slowly.

At night, Nagi decided to check up on Isagi and see if he's doing okay. Isagi tried to reassure but Nagi didn't believe his words.

"Choki, I'm going to Isagi's, be good. " He said as he stuffed his phone is his pocket.

He ran all the way to Isagi's place, and used the spare key that Isagi gave him to enter.

As he walked to the door of Isagi's room he saw a sign hanging above the doorknob.

It read: 𝘿𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧

"What is happening to him?.... " Nagi thought to himself as he slowly opened the door.

As he walked in, and what he saw broke his heart. It was Isagi, sobbing quietly.

"Sei? What are you doing here? " Isagi said, startled by the sudden noise as he tried to aggressively wipe his tears away.

"You were acting weird earlier, and all week as well so I wanted to check up on you. " Nagi shrugged, but deep down he was concerned for Isagi.

"Sei, it's 12am." Isagi stated.

"I know. " Nagi answered.

"Why are you still awake? It's late. " Isagi asked, slightly tilting his head.

"Why are 𝙮𝙤𝙪 still awake? " Nagi interjected, crossing his arms as he narrowed his eyes.

Isagi couldn't answer. He looked at the ground and stared at it.

Nagi walked towards Isagi's bed and sat on its edge.

"I feel like you're pushing everyone away. Why? " Nagi asked, his face usually emotionless is now filled with worry and concern.

"I..." Isagi still barely could say anything. No words came out of his mouth.

Nagi leaned in closer, softly caressing Isagi's cheek.

"I'm worried 'Ichi. Everyone is. " Nagi softly states, his gaze softening.

"Bachira says that you've been overworking yourself. And I know that you have insomnia, I've known for a long time so don't you try and lie to me. " Nagi stated, his tone full of concern.

Isagi took a deep breathe before speaking, "It's too much, I can't handle it anymore. " He said, his voice breaking while he fought back tears.

"Then take a rest. No one will mind. " Nagi answered.

"They will. Have you heard what they've been saying about me? " Isagi talked back, his voice getting a little louder as he looked Nagi in the eyes.

"Don't listen to them. You're allowed to take a rest, you're human as well you know. " Nagi reassured him.

"I'm sorry. " Isagi whispered.

"You don't have to apologize, Yoichi. " Nagi stated.

Nagi pulled Isagi in for a hug. Rubbing comforting circles on his back.

"Thanks." Isagi muttered, a small sincere smile appearing on his face as he buried his face into Nagi's shoulder, "You're the best. " He added.

"And you're always welcome 'Ichi. " Nagi answered, his lips curling up into a small smile.

Surprisingly, Nagi managed to convince Isagi to finally take a break from studying after studying for 4 hours straight with no breaks taken.

They went into the living room and started watching Spongebob (don't ask why). After a while of watching, Isagi finally fell asleep. His head on Nagi's shoulder.

"Sleep tight Yocchan, you deserve to take a rest. " Nagi whispers before closing his eyes and falling into a deep slumber.

Chapter Text

As time passed Nagi feel deeper in love with Isagi. And their relationship/bond grew stronger and thicker. They laughed, smiled, won, cried together.

They did everything together, Nagi was always beside Isagi. They had their own secret hand shake that the would do whenever they met, Nagi created a playlist for the two of them. And Isagi would always make him pancakes after sleepovers, which Nagi would gladly devour despite still being half-asleep (if this isn't love, then I do not know what love is - Author).

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Nagi always wondered how such a kind person like Isagi had enough patience to deal with his lazy ass after he made Isagi carry him home after practice about 7 times because he was too tired and lazy to do it himself.

"You're not that lazy you know? Plus I like taking care of you so it's okay. " Isagi once answered after Nagi asked him if he sometimes get tired of his lazy ass. Isagi gave a shy smile before giggling as he gently ruffled Nagi's hair.

Let's just say Nagi feel even more in love after that.

*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿

For some weird yet cute reason, Isagi would often give Nagi matching keychains. The first pair was a matching black and white cat keychain.

"Oh, I got you something. " Isagi stated as he reached for something in his bag before taking Nagi's hand and placing the object in it.

"I-I hope you like it.. " Isagi added, his cheeks having a faint tint of pink.

Nagi took one look of the keychain and immediately pulled him into a hug. And that keychain remained by Nagi's side wherever he goes.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Isagi always found it cute whenever Nagi would randomly send a picture of something and ask "Us? ". He thinks it's adorable. Nagi would also point at things that reminds him of Isagi.

They were walking around a park when Nagi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

" Nagi? What's wrong? " Isagi asked tilting his head slightly as he looked at what Nagi was pointing at.

"Look, it's you. " Nagi stated, pointing at a rabbit with a straight face.

Isagi flushed with embarrassment, hiding his face while Nagi, had a small smirk on his face.

*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿

Nagi and Isagi were on their way home after visiting an aquarium. According to Isagi, he said that there was a new lobster exhibit and wanted to visit it with Nagi. They had a lot of fun and Nagi got to see Isagi beam with joy upon seeing the small lobsters.

So here they are, riding the bus on their way home. They were sharing earpods while listening to the shared playlist that Nagi made for them. Isagi was yapping about how cute the lobsters were and Nagi listened quietly.

After a while, Nagi suddenly felt a huge weight on his right, and when he turned his head around he saw Isagi who probably fell asleep. A silly smile on his face, "He's probably dreaming about lobsters or something. " Nagi thought.

Nagi took this moment to admire Isagi quietly. His cheeks that had a faint tint of red on them, his fluffly dark blue hair that are as fluffly as the clouds. Nagi is so damn lucky. After a short while, Nagi also fell asleep. And subconsciously, the two's hands were intertwined with one another.

Chapter Text

There was an upcoming summer festival happening in Hakuho High. Every class was busy, creating props, handling expenses and stuff. Some decided to do haunted houses, while the other decided to do some food stalls.
‎
‎Isagi's class was decided to do a regular cafe. They made menues that had a wide variety of meals and drinks to choose from. They also served desserts like cakes or cupcakes.
‎
‎They decorated their classroom to make it look more like a cafe. Adding decorations, fake flowers, etc.
‎
‎Students were to dress up in a waitress/waiter style clothes and would serve guests their ordered food and drinks.
‎
‎Isagi was just walking back to his class after dealing with some important matters when he suddenly heard a voice from behind.
‎
‎"Isagi-kun! " The voice sounded familiar and it was coming closer.
‎
‎Isagi then turned around to see his —self proclaimed— bestfriend, Bachira. "Oh, hello Bachira. What's up? " Isagi asked.
‎
‎"A class is gonna make fireworks for the festival! I forgot which one but I bet it's gonna be super duper cool! " Bachira exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
‎
‎"Soooo, have you asked anyone to watch the fireworks with you? " Bachira asked, nudging Isagi's shoulder with a slight smirk on his face.
‎
‎"Umm... Not really, though is it really necessary to watch the fireworks with someone?" Isagi remarked, not seeing the point in Bachira's question.
‎
‎"Watching fireworks with someone is very romantic you know!!" Bachira pouted, crossing his arms. "Plus, I heard some students are even asking their crushes out to watch the fireworks together " Bachira added.
‎
‎"Uh huh. Well I have to go now, my class is really busy with setting up our booth bye! " Isagi explained, running away without giving Bachira a chance to speak. Isagi didn't really have time to deal with Bachira's nonsense so he had to make a run for it, he'll just apologize and do something to make up for it later.
‎
‎*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿
‎
‎It was now lunch time. The cafeteria was bustling with students as usual. Isagi was peacefully eating his lunch when someone sat beside him.
‎
‎"Yo." The voice came from Nagi.
‎
‎"Hi Sei, have u ate yet? " Isagi asked, a small smile appearing on his face.
‎
‎"Not yet, I'm too lazy to get up and buy food. " Nagi answered, putting his palm on the table and leaning his head on it while facing Isagi, gazing at him.
‎
‎Isagi slides over some jelly that he had bought earlier to Nagi. "Here, it's not that much but you still need to eat though. " He stated before going back to eating his kintsuba.
‎
‎"Oh, thanks. " Nagi then proceeded to lazily eat the jelly.
‎
‎"Sooo, what's your class gonna do for the festival? " Isagi asked.
‎
‎"Hmmm... A haunted house?" Nagi stopped eating to answer, though he was unsure of his answer and eventually continued eating.
‎
‎"You were sleeping while they were planning weren't you? " Isagi teased, he knew that Nagi would always sleep during class. He even got to witness him getting scolded by the teacher for sleeping sometimes.
‎
‎"Mhm." Nagi mumbled, nodding his head. Putting the empty plastic on the table after devouring the jelly.
‎
‎"Silly genius, always sleeping yet always tired. I sometimes wonder how I can deal with your everything is a hassle attitude." Isagi jokingly stated before letting out a small laugh.
‎
‎"But 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 right? " Nagi jokingly asked, a small smirk on his face. He was about to say that it was a joke and see Isagi's reaction but he immediately got interrupted.
‎
‎"...𝙔𝙚𝙖𝙝, 𝙄 𝙙𝙤. " Isagi casually answered, a small smile creeping up on his face. "Anyways, I have to head back now. See ya." He added before getting up from his seat, ruffled Nagi's hair and walking away like he didn't just say that he 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙉𝙖𝙜𝙞.
‎
‎Nagi was flushed and speechless. He didn't know if Isagi was joking or not. But all he knows is that Isagi just said that he loves him and walked away.
‎
‎"Was that a joke as well?" Nagi pondered. His face still beet red from Isagi's response.
‎
‎✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
‎
‎"Oi, you look like a tomato. Did something happen? " Reo asked Nagi while they were at the bathroom.
‎
‎"Wait, let me guess. It's Isagi right? " Reo added.
‎
‎Nagi just nodded slowly, still speechless due to what Isagi said.
‎
‎"Gosh, you're so in love. Will you please just get it together and confess? " Reo asked, massaging his temples with his hand and letting out a big sigh.
‎
‎"I'm too nervous. " Nagi mumbled, fiddling with his hands.
‎
‎"What? Are you nervous that he's gonna reject you? Have you even seen how he acts around you?? He's obviously in love with you. " Reo remarked, leaning on the counter.
‎
‎"He's so 𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙤𝙪𝙨 that I can't say anything to his face. Whenever I look into his eyes, I get all nervous in the inside. It's like staring into a 𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙖𝙣. " Nagi trailed off, his tone changing from a emotionless to lovingly tone that screams head over heels.
‎
‎"For everyone's sake, just confess your heart out and get married." Reo sighs again and jokingly rolled his eyes.
‎
‎"Just give me some time Reo. " Nagi whined.
‎
‎"Yeah yeah. But just to warn you, don't you ever break his heart. Bachira's not the only one who'll be jumping you. " Reo sternly stated, his gaze darkening for a slight moment before turning back to normal.
‎
‎"He's a great guy Nagi. He's the most kindest person in the world and the only person who would actually deal with your shenanigans and not get tired. So please, don't do anything stupid. " Reo pleaded.
‎
‎"I promise." Nagi answered.
‎
‎"Good." Reo stated, "Now let's go back. " He added, patting his friends back.
‎
‎Nagi nodded and followed him.
‎

‎
‎The festival was now today. The school was bustling with guests and students promoting their stalls.
‎
‎Isagi was busy assisting his class and serving customers. He took on every available role and did them with a small smile plastered on his face.
‎
‎He was just serving a customer their drink when the door suddenly opened. Isagi turned his head around to see who it was.
‎
‎"Welco-" Isagi stopped mid sentence when he saw Nagi and Reo at the entrance, his eyes widen in shock.
‎
‎He quickly excused himself before running up towards the two, "W-what are you guys doing here?! " He exclaimed, slightly embarrassed.
‎
‎"We payed for all of our class's expenses so they insisted that we don't do anywork, so we basically have a free day. Well Nagi has because I'll have some important matters to do later. " Reo explained.
‎
‎"F-fine. Just take your seats and order. " Isagi stated, pointing at the vacant seats.
‎
‎He and Nagi didn't talk but they made eye contact for a slight moment. Isagi just smiled at him before walking away.
‎
‎The two took their seats while Isagi resumed his duties. "He's too pretty. I can't breathe, Reo. " Nagi whispered as his ears slightly turned red, his eyes following Isagi's every step.
‎
‎"Shut it. You were practically begging me to come with you to visit Isagi's class so now you owe me coffee. " Reo demanded, slightly irritated but amused at his friends reaction.
‎
‎"Fine fine, order what you want. " Nagi stated, waving his hand off as he was too busy admiring Isagi.
‎
‎Reo ordered a dark coffee —as the coffee lover he is— while Nagi ordered a vanilla frappe because it was the first thing he saw and it looked quite delicious as well.
‎
‎They waited for a little while, Nagi complimented Isagi behind his back endlessly while Reo had to suffer and deal with his lovesick ass. And after a little more waiting, their orders finally arrived.
‎
‎"Here you go! A dark coffee for someone who has a pure soul. " Isagi joked as he handed Reo's drink.
‎
‎"Andddd a Vanilla frappe for Seishiro. Nice pick by the way, this one is my favorite out of them all. " Isagi complimented as he handed Nagi his drink, their fingers slightly brushing each other, making Isagi and Nagi both blush from the sudden contact.
‎
‎"Thanks.. " Nagi mumbled, heat spreading across his cheeks as he started drinking his frappe in order to hide his blush.
‎
‎"Thank you Isagi. And yes, I have a pure soul, at least purer than this guy over here. " Reo sarcastically remarked, nudging Nagi's shoulder as he laughed.
‎
‎Isagi shock his head to get him out of his thoughts, "Sei's not that bad, give him a chance. " Isagi stated, letting out a breathy laugh.
‎
‎"Yeah because you're the only one who's actually willing to deal with him. " Reo answered, taking a sip from his coffee.
‎
‎"Yeah that might be true, but I like taking care of him you know. I don't really mind, but he really needs to learn how to cook, eating jellies is everyday is not healthy. " Isagi stated, ruffling Nagi's hair. His lips curling up into a gentle smile.
‎
‎"Really? In front of my coffee? " Reo joking rolled his eyes. While Isagi got embarrassed and pulled his hand away, earning Reo a glare from Nagi that screams "Are you serious? ".
‎
‎"S-sorry." Isagi mumbles. "Anyways, I have to get back to work. Enjoy your drinks! " Isagi stated before immediately running away.
‎
‎"You're an asshole. "
‎
‎"I know, and you're an idiot who's inlove. "
‎
‎*･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿
‎
‎It was about 4pm when Reo had to unfortunately leave due to some important matters that he had to deal with, leaving Nagi alone. He waved goodbye to the two before heading out.
‎
‎"Yoichiiiii, when does your shift end? " Nagi asked from behind while tapping Isagi's shoulder, suddenly appearing. In the past, Isagi would get quite startled by the sudden touch but he got used to it.
‎
‎"After this, my classmates said that I've been doing a lot and deserve a break. Why'd you ask?" Isagi answered while wiping a table clean, turning his head around to face Nagi.
‎
‎"Wanna look at the other stalls when you're done? " Nagi asked.
‎
‎"Sure!" Isagi exclaimed. "Give me a minute, I'll just change. " He added as he took his cleaning supplies and hurried to the back.
‎‎"Yay."
‎
‎After a few minutes, Isagi came out of the back in his school uniform.
‎
‎"Hey, ready to go? " Isagi asked, fixing his jacket with a small smile on his face.
‎
‎"Yeah, come on. " Nagi stated as he stood up.
‎
‎"Do you have any stalls that you wanna visit? " Nagi asked.
‎
‎"Hmm... " Isagi cupped his chin, deep in thought. "What about that one stall with those carnival games? I heard that you can win some prizes there. " He suggested.
‎
‎"Sure." Nagi nodded.
‎
‎"Then let's go! " Isagi stated as he grabbed Nagi's hand and dragged him away.
‎
‎Isagi had a wide and bright smile on his face that made Nagi, a typically cold and nonchalant person, 𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙩 right upon seeing it. Bewitching dark blue eyes met the mysterious grey eyes.
‎
‎"How can someone be this...divine? " Nagi thought to himself, a faint tint of red spreading across his cheeks.
‎
‎.・゜-: ✧ :-
‎
‎"Look! Look! There's a shooting game, wanna try it out? " Isagi suggested, pointing at the stall. His eyes full of excitement and joy.
‎
‎"Yeah sure. " Nagi stated.
‎
‎"2 guns please." Isagi politely requested as the stall owner handed it to him.
‎
‎Isagi grabbed one of the guns and went to his position. "Watch and learn Sei. " Isagi stated, holding the gun with a big grin on his face. Aiming precisely.
‎
‎And then.... 𝘽𝙊𝙊𝙈! Isagi has successfully shot the target in front of him on the first try. Even the person who owned the stall was surprised.
‎
‎"I want.... 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚! " Isagi pointed at a cactus key chain.
‎
‎"Here you go! " Isagi exclaimed as he took Nagi's hand and places the keychain on it.
‎"It's for you! " He added.
‎
‎"T-thanks... " Nagi's eyes widen in shock before returning to normal, his ears turning red.
‎
‎"You're welcome. " Isagi stated, his lips curling up into a childlish smile. He then stood on his tip toes and ruffled Nagi's hair.
‎
‎And that just made Nagi flush even more. But he didn't move, he liked it when Isagi would ruffle hair gently. It would even sometimes come with a giggle after.
‎
‎"Let's go find some more stalls! " Isagi stated before quickly grabbing Nagi's hand. Leading him through the crowd.
‎
‎"Yoichi, wait. " Nagi ordered, making Isagi stop in his tracks and turn around.
‎
‎"Yeah? Did you find anything you like? " Isagi asked.
‎
‎"Look." Nagi stated, pointing at a stall that was selling hairclips. He remembered that on several occasions, he saw Isagi wearing hairclips. He asked him why and Isagi just answered, "Oh, sometimes, my bangs get in the way. That's why. " and ever since then, Nagi couldn't quite keep himself calm and unfazed whenever he sees Isagi wearing hairclips as he looked adorable. Like so adorable.
‎
‎The two approached the stall and took a closer look at the hairclips.
‎
‎"UWAH!! These are so adorable! " Isagi exclaimed, his eyes lighting up. Looking at each and every one of the hairclips that had their own different yet unique designs.
‎
‎"Yoichi, can you face me for a minute? " Nagi asked, he seemed to be holding something.
‎
‎"Mhm? " Isagi slowly faced Nagi, looking up.
‎
‎Nagi gently placed a blue hairclip with a cute rabbit charm on Isagi's bangs.
‎
‎"Cute." Nagi mumbled as he gently caressed Isagi's hair with a small smile. Isagi stayed silent, but him looking as red as a tomato said everything that Nagi needed to know.
‎
‎"I- " Isagi tried to speak up but started stammering over his words.
‎
‎"Do you want it? " Nagi asked. But he didn't really have too, because no matter the answer was, he will still buy it.
‎
‎"Y-yeah, sure. " Isagi stuttered, looking at the ground to hide his face. But then something caught his eye.
‎
‎There was the same hairclip but grey. He quickly grabbed it and looked Nagi in the eyes. And Nagi immediately got the message as he leaned his head down.
‎
‎He went on his tippy toes —once again since he's a shortie, like literally— and clipped Nagi's bangs. A goofy smile plastered on his face.
‎
‎"Now we match! " Isagi stated, putting his hands on his hips. Beaming with pride and joy.
‎
‎"So bright.... And 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨. " Nagi thought to himself. Falling more in love with Isagi. Actually he's 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙨 for him at this point. Wait wasn't he already head over heels for him? Oh well.
‎
‎The two enjoyed the festival for a while, taking part of many games and eating delicious foods. Eventually, it was about 7pm and Isagi and Nagi were talking in the hallways.
‎
‎It was pretty dark outside and the festival was about to end. Isagi volunteered to clean his classroom up and told his classmates to go home. Nagi insisted on staying despite Isagi telling him to go home as well, so here they are.
‎
‎Isagi sweeping the floors and Nagi fixing the chairs, returning them in their original position. It was silent except for Isagi's humming which was very soothing for Nagi due to the fact that he was 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 with Isagi, the majestic, beautiful, kind, caring, and perfect Isagi.
Isagi.
‎
‎Something loud was then heard happening outside. Isagi was the first one to hear it, slowly looking out at the window with curiosity. He then gasped at the scenery.
‎
‎"SEI! SEI! LOOK OUTSIDE. " He exclaimed, pointing at the window. His voice dripping with excitement.
‎
‎Nagi looked up and saw 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨. Beautiful fireworks happening out side. But he barely paid attention as his attention was all on Isagi who was staring at the fireworks, eyes sparkling.
‎
‎"It's so beautiful isn't? " Isagi asked, his lips curling up into a majestic smile that easily outshone the fireworks outside. His cheeks having a faint tint of red, perfectly complimenting his pale complexion.
‎
‎"Yeah." Nagi walked towards Isagi slowly, but the boy was too distracted to notice until Nagi was standing right in front of him.
‎
‎"Yoichi." Nagi calmly said, trying to hide his anxiousness.
‎
‎"Mhm? " Isagi turned his head around to face Nagi. His ocean blue eyes filled with passion met Nagi's grey eyes that was filled with mystery.
‎
‎Nagi leaned in closer. His forehead on Isagi's shoulder as he used his other hand to hold Isagi's.
‎
‎"Um.. Is there something wrong? " Isagi asked nervously, but he didn't move away.
‎
‎"Yoichi. I just wanna start off by saying that I'm so lucky to have met such a kind, loving and caring person like you. " Nagi trailed off, his voice that was once emotionless was now filled with love and passion.
‎
‎"You taught me everything that I needed to know. You gave me everything that I never thought that I needed. You cared for me, even on my worst days when I felt too lazy to even eat. You dealt with my shenanigans with a smile on your face, never even complaining once. " Isagi instantly flushed upon hearing Nagi's words.
‎
‎"So I'm just gonna be straight forward about this. Isagi Yoichi, the most perfect man in the whole entire universe. And the man that I fell in love with at first sight, though it took me quite a while to realize it. " Nagi continued, gently caressing Isagi's knuckles.
‎
‎"I love you so damn much. More than you or anyone could even know. And just so you know, I love you more than my video games. That's how much I love you. Will you be my boyfriend?" Nagi finally asked as he leaned back. Looking at Isagi.
‎
‎Isagi was speechless, flabbergasted and most importantly, flustered. He never knew that Nagi loved him that much.
‎
‎"Yes." Isagi whispered.
‎
‎"Yes! I will! " Isagi exclaimed, happy tears falling from his cheeks.
‎
‎"I would absolutely love to be your boyfriend Seishiro. " He added.
‎
‎Nagi cupped his face gently. Looking at him straight in the eyes. "May I? " Nagi asked.
‎
‎Isagi didn't even answer, instead he smashed his lips onto Nagi's. The two sharing a passionate kiss with the beautiful fireworks as their background.
‎
‎After a few seconds, Isagi pulled back. A genuine and large smile plastered onto his face. The same smile that made Nagi fall in love multiple times.
‎
‎Nagi took Isagi's hand into his. Bringing closer to his mouth before kissing it gently "𝙄 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝, 𝙔𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙞 𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙞. " Nagi whispered, his voice filled with love as he looked up.
‎
‎"𝙄 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤𝙤, 𝙎𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙤 𝙉𝙖𝙜𝙞. " Isagi lovingly answered, his signature smile never failing to make Nagi's heart skip a beat.
‎
‎𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚

‎
‎Nagi loved Isagi with all his heart, accepting each and one of Isagi's flaws. He never felt love before, thinking that it was just not for him. But the truth is that it was actually for him but his love came in a form of a short, kind person with a big heart, blue eyes that was burning with passion and determination and dark blue hair that was as soft as the clouds above.
‎
