Fire Phoenix - Reki x Reader

✨🛹 𝕊𝕜𝕒𝕥𝕖 𝟟 🛹✨

~Your POV:~
After I had unloaded my shopping, I saw it was lunch time. I wasn't hungry though so I just grabbed a bag of crisps. I had trouble opening it but eventually got open. I ate a couple crisps before heading upstairs to grab my blanket. I came back down and wrapped it around myself, sitting on my sofa in front of the television.

I turned on the television and just started channel hoping until I found something decent. I watched a few episodes until I saw what the time was. Reki and Langa probably finished school by now.

I sighed before turning back to face the television and continuing on with the show and eating crisps at the same time. After half an hour, I heard a knock on my front door. Odd. I know two people who know how to get here. Joe and... Reki. Great. Reki is on my doorstep. I sigh again and head to the front door and open it. And as I thought, Reki is on my doorstep. In his uniform. With Langa. Carrying bags.

"Erm what are you guys doing here?" I ask.

"Well you didn't show up to school today so we came to check up on you. We genuinely thought you were mad at us for bringing up subjects you didn't want to talk about." Langa says.

"Guys. I'm not mad at you. Yeah, I kinda didn't wanna talk about those subjects, but I'm not mad." I say.

"Oh thank god." Reki sighs.

"Anyway, you may as well come in. You did come all this way." I say, opening the door even further.

"Thank you." Reki says.

They both step inside and take their shoes off before heading to my sofa. I close my door and head over to the sofa to join them.

"You guys want anything to drink?" I ask.

"Yeah. Water, please." Langa asks.

"Coke please." Reki asks.

I head off and grab 2 cokes (or if you prefer something else) and a bottle of water. I come back and hand them all their drinks before Reki points out my injured hand.

"Hey, what happened to your hand?" Reki asks me.

"I fell..." I say, giving them the short answer.

"You fell?" Reki questions.

"Is there something you aren't telling us?" Reki asks.

"Yeah, a couple things but I don't wanna go into detail on them." I say.

"How'd you fall?" He asks.

"Ok. Fine. I couldn't sleep so I went out for a skate. I ended up at a restaurant owned by Joe. I talked to him about something before heading home. I had the feeling I was being followed but when I looked, no one was there. They came out of nowhere and I took a corner too sharp. The corner lead to a hill and I bailed. Landing on my wrist." I explain. It was a slight lie since I left some things out.

"Is that why you didn't come in today?" Langa asks.

"Yeah..." I say, not looking at them.

"Wait... You know Joe?!" Reki exclaims.

"Mhm. We're quite close friends." I say.

"Huh." Reki says.

"Anyway, was there something else you wanted to ask me?" I say.

"Yeah. You're skating style is sort of similar to Langa's in the sense that you used to be snowboarder right?" Reki asks.

"Yeah. When I was little. I only did it until I was 7. I started at the age of 3, I think. When I was 7, I got bored and started figure skating. Which I stopped when I turned 13. From then on I've been skateboarding." I say, again giving a short explanation.

"Hah! I knew you could skate! You were skating with your other leg right? The less dominant one?" Reki says, pointing a finger at me.

"Yeah. I didn't wanna tell you. Sorry." I say.

"No, it's fine. You probably had your reasons." Langa says.

"Mhm. Anyway, the only other question I had was why you never come to S." Reki says.

"Oh I err don't competitively skate. I skate for fun." I explain.

"Huh. I think you'd like it at S though." Reki says.

"Mhm I dunno. I don't think it's my thing from what I've heard you explain." I say.

"Yeah ok makes sense." Langa says.

"Oh that reminds me, I have a bento for you." Reki says, handing me a bento.

"A bento? Why?" I ask.

"Basically I had a beef with Fire Phoenix and that was her term. That I gave bento's to Langa and you. But she just said my friends so I gave them to you and Langa." Reki says.

"What's the betting you didn't make this, your mum did." I say.

"Wha-no!" Reki denies.

"Don't deny it, Reki." Langa says.

"Ok..." Reki says in defeat.

I open the bento and start eating it. It's really good. Like really good. I quickly finished the bento and Reki gave me the bag he had. It was filled with snacks. I set them out on the table and told Langa and Reki to help themselves.

After a while, it was starting to get late. Reki and Langa decided to go home and they bid me farewell. (god who uses that anymore). They then left and I went and locked my front door. I threw away all the rubbish and put the remaining snacks away. I cleaned up and then headed off to bed since I was tired. I didn't get much sleep last night. Well, I mean I went to bed this morning.

I climbed into my duvet and fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow. I must've been really tired then. Like tired enough to fall asleep the moment my head touches the pillow.
