A series of drabbles related to the story The Maple, The Window, and The Butterfly. They provide some insight on the events before and after Rei and Nagisa first confess to each other in the main story. Part 2 of 'Through the Frame, I See You' (Next Door AU). I will also be updating this drabble series every day, but I return to school soon, so the pace may vary. Enjoy!

Two weeks ago at this point in time, Nagisa had not been dating Rei, much less confessed his feelings for the oblivious butterfly. But by then Nagisa had already long been head-over-heels for his best friend, and perhaps it was due to those feelings that the choice seemed so intimate all of a sudden...which left him feeling hesitant. (Warning: Cliches and cheesiness.)

In which the drunk comforts the sober. (Written for Tumblr's Reigisa Week Days 2 and 3. The prompts are 'Drinks' and 'Angst'.)

'I think I've liked you for a long time now.' In which a seventeenth and nineteenth birthday is celebrated. (Domestic AU, Rated M for implied intimacy)

"He had allowed himself to dream—of a vibrant life that included himself joining a caravan, dancing freely as he traveled the world—and, once he found the right person, falling in love and sharing his life with his beloved." Set in the Arabian! AU where Nagisa is younger than Rei and the two end up in an arranged marriage due to an old friendship and hard times.

In which Rei and Nagisa are next-door neighbors beginning from their younger days, and in which the two come to know and love each other over the course of years. Note: Rated T for some cursing, as well as mentions of sensitive subjects. Part 1 of 'Through the Frame, I See You' (Next Door AU series).
