Reki tapped his pen on his desk impatiently as he eyed the clock, waiting for the bell to ring. The red head had been late to school today so he hasn't seen Langa at all and that definitely brought his mood down.

"...four...three...two...one!" He muttered under his breath and sprung up almost immediately as the clock hit 12 and the lunch bell rang. Reki lazily threw his bag over his shoulder, grabbed his board and dashed out of class.

Reki was about to sprint up the stairs to the roof until he was abruptly stopped by a girl about the same height as him. "Uhh can I help you with something?" He questioned and eyed her up and down.

She had a short black bob, a light blush on her cheeks and she had her arms stuck out with a box of chocolates and a little envelope with presumably a love letter inside.

"Can you give this to langa for me..?" She asked refusing to meet his eyes out of embarrassment. Reki just stared at her for a second then sighed and nodded. He took the gift without another word and treaded up the stairs, head hanging low.

The boy opened the door a bit more forcefully then he had intended to and slowly made his way over to the taller. "Reki!" Langa's bright smile quickly shifted into a frown. "Why are you mopping..?" He questioned.

"M' not...I got another love confession for you.." he dropped the chocolates and letter in his lap and sat down for himself. What was this? The third time this week that he had been recruited to give something to langa? Did no one understand that langa was his?

"I don't like sweets though..." langa mumbled as he started reading through the card. He opened the box and handed it over to reki who hesitantly popped one of the chocolates in his mouth. Who was to deny chocolates being handed over to you by your crush, even when it was not so conveniently gifted to him through a love confession.

"Maybe you should actually give this one a shot, she was pretty.." he grumbled and had another...and another and another. By the time langa was finished reading half the box was gone and reki's cheeks were stuffed.

"Reki I.." he looked over and paused in adoration. Reki had his cheeks puffed out and his head down, hair drooping slightly. There was a small smudge of chocolate on his bottom lip and without a thought he licked his thumb and gently swiped it across Reki's soft skin.

The boy froze and gulped down the remainder of the confection that was stored in his mouth. He turned his head so that he was now facing the latter, langa's hand had made its was to rest on Reki's pink cheek.

"Sorry...you had something on your lips..." langa stated, making no effort to back up or move his hand. "O-Oh..." both boys were was red as Reki's hair at this point.

"Uhmm...what were you saying before?" Reki cleared his throat and never broke their eye contact. "Oh uhh...I was gonna say that I have to turn her down because..." "because?" Reki raised an eyebrow. "Well I already like someone.."

Reki's heart dropped, he probably went as white as a ghost but tried to put on a smile for his friend. "O-Oh...well you haven't told me about her so I didn't know," langa was now rubbing small circles into the others cheek, leaning just the tiniest bit forward.

"It's not a her Reki," his blush only intensified. Reki just stared at him, completely heart broken. He knew he shouldn't be selfish but he couldn't believe that even though it was guy, that guy wasn't even him.

He just let out a soft "oh" and lowered his head. "Are you mad?" Langa questioned. "Why would I be?" Langa shrugged and brushed Reki's bangs out of his eyes. "So you're ok with me being gay..?" He pressed again, praying that his best friend wasn't against the idea.

"Of course I'm ok with it!" He punched Langa's chest softly, kinda offended that the latter felt like he wouldn't. "...I am bi after all..." Reki added on in a mumble.

Reki tried to pull back but Langa's grip was as strong as ever. "Tell me about him then.." Reki sighed and finally looked up into his eyes.

The red head was shocked to find a beaming, blushing langa starring down at him. "What are you so happy abou-" he was cut off when langa started rambling.

"He's so kind and cares a lot about others around him, he's outgoing, selfless and carefree, he has the biggest sweet tooth, he's creative and hardworking, he has beautiful amber eyes, fiery red hair...he's bi..."

"At least you'll get a chance with him then.." Reki said, his voice breaking slightly as he tried to put on a smile. He wasn't really listening to what langa had said, too broken to listen.

Was Reki really not getting it? Langa thought to himself. Did he not just describe Reki perfectly?? Langa moved closer and layed his head on the other shoulder.

"I like you Reki...I like you so so much.." the boy whispered out in English. It took a second for Reki to put the words together, he was failing English after all.

"Huh-" the boys face went deep red, he hoped that he had heard Langa right. "What did you just sa-" "I like you Reki!" Langa said in their shared language this time. He was desperate at this point. Was he really not being obvious enough.

He kissed his cheek lightly, just to test the waters. "Reki Kyan...I like you so damn much...please don't be mad.." he mumbled into his neck once again praying that the boy would except his feelings back.

"Langaaaaa.." he whined and hid his face in his hands completely embarrassed. He knew Langa wouldn't play with his feelings but there was still some doubt in the back of his mind.

"Why would I be mad if I like you toooooo?" He shook pushed Langa off his shoulder and started shaking him. "Oh my gosh do you know how horrible it was to see you getting love confessions everyday and wanting you all to myself?!" Reki groaned and threw himself onto him.

Langa's smile just got brighter by the second as he wrapped his arms around the other. "Are you serious?" He pulled him close. "Of course!" Reki laughed softly and looked down at him, admiring all his features.

The way his sky blue hair fell perfectly upon his face had him mesmerized, Reki lightly ran his fingers through Langa's hair and was shocked by the question that had just passed through his ears.

     "Can I kiss you?" Langa looked up at him with stars in his eyes. "I.." Reki started but didn't know how to continue. How was he supposed to tell his best friend that he'd never been kissed before. He was 17 for gods sake, surely that would be embarrassing.

     Langa clasped his hands on the back of Reki's neck and pulled him down slightly, "can i..?" He asked softly. "I've never.." Reki hid his face in his chest, this caused langa to laugh softly.

     "Don't laugh it's not funny," he frowned as langa ran his fingers through his hair. "It's ok, I've never kissed anyone either," he smiled reassuringly.

     Reki just nodded slightly and lifted his head up to position himself above the others lips. He closed his eyes out of nervousness and waited for langa to do something.

     After a few seconds, which in reality felt like hours, Reki felt a pair of soft lips being pressed gently against his. Both boys froze not really knowing what to do next until Reki slowly started moving his lips.

     It was sweet and pure, the taste of chocolate dancing on their tongues as they kissed caused Reki to smile softly.

     But just like that their moment was lost when they heard someone clearing their throat in the direction of the door. The two boys immediately pushed themselves away from each other and looked up to find the principal leaned in the doorframe, a disgruntled look on his face.

     "The bell rang 10 minutes ago, get to class you two," he grumbled and left without another word. "Y-Yes sir!" The pair piped up before they burst out laughing.

     They eventually calmed down and started to pack up their stuff, "are we boyfriends now?" Reki asked as he held the door open for langa. "We can be whatever you want," he smiled and pecked his cheek.

     Reki blushed deeply and nodded, and with that they hooked their pinkies together and started walking to their shared class. The only thing on their minds was each other.
