𝐏𝐔𝐙𝐙𝐋𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐂𝐄, reki kyan (discontinued, maybe lol)

one

[Name] [Last Name] liked to think he was a straightforward person. It was easy for him to just walk up to people and make conversation, he also had no problem telling people how it is.

So why is it whenever [Name] is around Reki Kyan he can't seem to utter a single word?!

All he had to say was 'hey, you're hot and I'd love to draw you for a class project' maybe he could even add in a 'I'm also madly in love with you' for good measure.

[Name] hit his head against the desk when he tried (and failed) to call out to Reki as he passed [Name]'s desk. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't produce a word, not even a sound! So Reki walked on by and immediately got to talking with his friend, Langa Hasegawa.

Now, Langa was a sweet guy. He helped [Name] pick up his prisma colors when they all clattered to the floor in the hallway, and also gave him his strawberry milk after taking the last one. But despite that, [Name]'s jealously didn't fade, they were rivals (only in [Name]'s mind as Langa didn't even notice the glares that were constantly directed at him).

[Name] huffed and looked away from the two friends, glaring at the sketchbook sitting on his desk.

"If i didn't know better, I'd say you're jealous~" a teasing voice spoke up. His neighbor—Kira—leaning over with a smirk on her face. "Why don't you just talk to him?"

[Name] rolled his eyes, "You're acting like you didn't just see me try to talk to him and fail, miserably."

Kira shrugged, peeking down at the sketchbook, the page blank. "Can i see?"

[Name] felt his cheeks heat up a bit before handing her the sketchbook. Unlike the page he was on, the first half of the book was filled with various drawings, a few of Reki here and there. Whenever Kira saw the ones of their red haired classmate she couldn't help but giggle, [Name] is hopeless.

"Tell you what," she said, setting the sketchbook down and leaning close to [Name]. "I'll help you talk to Reki, we skate at the same place so we aren't really unfamiliar with each other."

[Name] scoffed, snatching his book back and slumping in his seat. "As if I'd let you help me." He grumbled. "You can't even talk to Sara without stuttering and running off, your plans suck." It was now his turn to point out Kira's failed love life.

Kira pointed an accusing finger at him, "That didn't need to be brought up." She then smirked proudly, "At least I can say something to her, unlike you."

[Name] opened his mouth to protest but ended up slumping over his desk in defeat. She was right, Kira could get a few words out before running away whereas [Name] can't even get out one. (Kira actually managed to snag Sara's number but decided to keep that to herself for the sake of [Name]'s pride).

[Name] decided to ignore Kira and do what he does best; fantasize about his and Reki's 'relationship' like the weirdo he is—even glaring at Langa for no apparent reason every now and then (literally no reason at all, he's just salty Langa can converse freely with Reki when he can't).

Langa—finally feeling the stares—turned to see [Name], his glare instantly leaving his face and a smile replacing it. Langa hesitantly smiled back, feeling as if something was weird before turning away as quickly as possible. After becoming aware of the stares once, he couldn't help but notice the ones he received afterwards and sweat dropped. He willed himself to focus on Reki and not the [color] haired boy who was practically burning holes in the side of his head.

When the bell rang Langa let out a sigh of relief, Reki jumping up from his seat and grabbing his wrist to pull him along with him.

"Re—" [Name] groaned when Reki zoomed past him with Langa closely behind. "Why?! I almost said his name!" He sobbed pathetically.

Kira laughed loudly, clutching her stomach. The remaining people in the room looked at the two weirdly, silently grabbing their lunches and leaving the room. After finally calming her laughter she wiped her tears, reaching over to pat [Name]'s back. "Hey, I'm proud of you!" She praised him genuinely. "You managed to get out half his name! If only you were a bit louder."

[Name]'s head snapped up immediately. "Did you just...praise me?"

Kira rolled her eyes, retracting her hand from [Name]'s back. "You make it seem like I'm mean to you."

"But you kinda are—"

"Am not!" She protested, slapping the back of his head on instinct. She stared at her hand for a few seconds before a sigh left her lips, "I'll work on that." Kira said, pointing at her hand.

"Yeah...thanks I guess?"

Now [Name] had his fair share of crushes—most of which included skaters, maybe he had a type so what? (We're also going to ignore the fact he had a crush on Kira at one point). Reki Kyan was really something else though, seeing him is an instant serotonin boost for [Name].

Call him cheesy, but [Name] [Last Name] will stand by that statement until the day he dies.

[Name] instinctively moved over to look out the window, where he could see Langa and Reki skateboarding. He grimaced when he saw Langa take a fall. [Name] would never get on one of those death traps (maybe if Reki asked him to he would but other than that, never).

"–and then I told my grandma getting shoved down the stairs is a more efficient way to get to the bottom floor."

[Name] looked away from Reki and Langa to give Kira a bewildered look. "What?!"

"Oh so now you're listening."

[Name] shrugged, "I love your grandma..."

Kira reached under her seat and pulled up her skateboard, waving it around with a smirk. "Fine, I'll just go down and skate with Reki while you sit here and be jealous of me."

"Kira–" But it was too late, she had already skated out of the room. [Name] could hear the yells of teachers telling her to stop but all [Name] could do is sit there alone and like Kira said: be jealous of her and her ability to bond over skateboarding with Reki Kyan.

[Name] waited a couple minutes before looking out the window and behold, there stood Kira already looking up towards the classroom, sticking out her tongue and holding up a peace sign.

[Name] dramatically slid down to ground, "I need new friends."
