Until I found you || Renga

10|| Cuddles

Tw: None, just fluff.

3rd Person Pov:

"Hey Reki, I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you ready to talk about the.. thing that happened earlier? The thing you were upset about before we got here?" 

Reki looks up at the boy and thinks about how to respond. 

Honestly, what Reki was thinking about is no longer important because of the conversation he has with his mother earlier. 

"Oh, yeah. I can but it's not very important anymore." he pauses for a moment to lean in and nuzzles his nose into Langa's sternum, "I was just thinking about um, about the likelihood of my parents being supportive, or if they ever will be. So I guess I was a bit bummed out before because of it." 

Aaggghh he smells so nice. I don't want him to stop holding me... Why are we even still talking about my parents? I want to cuddle him and just forget about everything else. 

"Oh.. okay" Langa sighs. He slides his hand out of Reki's hair and rubs up and down on his back soothingly and kisses the top of his head, "do you think they'll change their mind once my mom talks to your mom?" Langa questions. 

"I doubt it," Reki sighs, "my mom doesn't listen very well.... but I can hope." 

"I don't understand why they're so mad about it." Langa stresses, "if you're happy, why aren't they happy for you?" he asks. 

That's what Reki was thinking about too, but he could never figure out the answer to it. He'd have to ask his parents if he wanted to know bad enough. But all he could do right now is guess and assume. 

"Maybe they think I'd be happier with Leiko or something? But I don't know. I've already told them how Leiko made me feel." 

Which they didn't believe anyways...

"Would Leiko ever confess to your parents? Maybe that's how all of this will be solved." Langa suggests. 

"I doubt that too. Yesterday when she came over, she said she wanted to get back together, so if she told my parents the truth they wouldn't allow us to be together... probably." 

"Probably?" 

"I- I don't know." he sniffles, "I don't know anything. Nothing is making sense anymore and.. and I don't know what to do Langa." he clenches his fists into Langa's shirt and tugs him closer, "if I hadn't been so stupid and gotten with her, none of this would be happening." he panics. 

"Hey, no no no you can't blame yourself for this Reki." he consoles, "if anything, it's Leiko's and your parents fault. None of it is yours okay? It's alright." 

"But-"

"No, no buts. This isn't your fault Reki. You didn't know what she was like when you met, you had no idea of knowing. And, you never told your parents to be unsupportive did you?" 

Reki loosens his grip on Langas shirt and takes a long dragged out breath into his chest and wipes his puffy eyes with his free hand. 

"No.." he mumbles. 

But of course, despite Langa's attempt, Reki couldn't help but think things could've turned out differently, if only he did something sooner or said something. It was only natural for him to blame part of it on himself. 

Maybe if he told his parents how Leiko was after he broke up with her instead of being scared, they'd understand his feelings. 

"Yeah, see? You had no idea this would happen so you can't blame yourself Reki, baby."
