Reo paced back and forth in the living room, his socks sliding slightly against the hardwood floor. Nagi was slumped on the couch, lazily twirling a gaming controller in his hands. His head tilted to the side as he watched Reo with mild curiosity.

“You’re gonna wear a hole in the floor,” Nagi said flatly.

Reo froze mid-step, shooting him a quick glare. “I’m just... trying to figure out how to say this.”

Nagi blinked. “Say what?”

Reo sighed, running a hand through his hair. He sat down on the edge of the couch, but instead of looking at Nagi, his eyes were fixed on the coffee table.

“Nagi, I’ve been thinking,” he started, his voice steady but careful.

“Uh-oh,” Nagi teased, leaning back against the cushions.

“Hey! I’m serious!” Reo snapped, his face flushing slightly.

Nagi gave him a lazy smile but gestured for him to continue. Reo exhaled deeply, trying to calm his nerves.

“Okay, look... I just wanted to talk about, um... us. And how... things have been progressing. Physically.”

Nagi’s brow furrowed slightly. “Physically?”

“Yeah, like... you know.” Reo gestured vaguely, his face turning a deeper shade of red.

Nagi stared at him blankly. “I don’t.”

“Sex, Nagi!” Reo finally blurted, burying his face in his hands. “I’m talking about sex!”

Nagi blinked again, his expression unreadable. “Oh. What about it?”

Reo groaned, dragging his hands down his face. “You’re making this so hard.”
