Hikaru, as she so often loved to point out nowadays, was a big girl.
She could go to the bathroom all by herself, even being able to reach the toilet paper without needing anyone’s assistance.
She had gotten into the habit of refusing her dad’s help when getting herself dressed in the mornings too, because big girls didn’t need help picking out their clothes, especially not from boys (and, okay, maybe they were secretly thankful for that one because Rei hated getting up so early to coordinate outfits and Nagisa was an utter failure at it in general).

Rei opened the front door of his house, a giggling, sugar hyped Nagisa hot on his heels.

The morning sky was a depressing grey, the sun hiding behind a thick blanket of clouds. It was the middle of fall, multicolored leaves littering the sidewalk as Rei jogged to school. The weather warned of rain and the cold nipped at his nose. He took a deep breath and kept up the pace. By the time he arrived on campus, he was shivering like crazy.
