"AAAHHHHHH!!!", yelled reki as he regained consciousness for patting himself and realizing that he was still alive and in a

"Love hotel", someone said behind him which caused him to let out another scream.

"Wait, who are you?", questioned reki as the guy sat on the side of the bed as he said, "at 13 mph, probably a couple of minor injuries".

Annoyed that the guy wasn't giving him any answers he repeated himself, "So, who in the hell are you?".

"Agree to a private settlement with me", Tadashi said as he pulled out an envelope of money which made reki let out a huh, "I don't want this in the papers. I can't cause trouble to the man I serve".

"Don't mock me!', exclaimed reki as he knocked the wad of money out of Tadashi's hands as he got up from the bed, "I won't sue you or anything. I get this hurt all the time when I skate".

"Skate?", questioned Tadashi before realizing who reki was, "Oh, you're."

"what?", Reki asked as he picked up his board, "If you don't need anything, I'll be on my way". Opening what he believed was the door out of this room, reki blushed as he saw it was a bathroom with a heart-shaped bathtub.

"Never been in a place like this", remarked Tadashi due to reki's virgin behavior.

"Sh- shut up!", an embarrassed reki yelled as he quickly closed the door to the bathroom before heading to the other door that was the exit this time.

"You should quit skating", Tadashi stated which made reki halt, "You should pick some other hobby".

"That's none of your business", reki bitterly stated, for that was his business alone.

"skating is dangerous, you can get seriously injured from it", Informed Tadashi as he tried to convince Reki not to skate.

Which made reki plainly say, "I already know that",

"It has a bad rep. too. The image that only delinquents skate is still around, so people will always give you a cold look", Tadashi said as he tried his best to come up with reasons why Reki shouldn't skate anymore.

"I know that, too", reki remarked as he recalls how his classmates treated him.

Tadashi included a list of reasons why skateboarding was bad and insulted it in hopes that reki would realize how bad it was and quit. Reki grabbed him by his shirt and head-butted him as he yelled, "SHUT UP!". Tadashi clutched his head in pain, surprised that reki had done that.

"You don't get it at all! Skateboarding is... Fun, exciting, and awesome!", reki passionately said, "You can do it anytime, anywhere! Practice is slow and steady .... And you end up being able to do more things. And each time you learn something new, it's joyful and fun. A lot more fun when you skate together with someone else! It's fun .... So fun".

"That's right", reki said as tears started to fall from his eyes, "skateboarding.... Is really fun!". Reki wiped away his tears as he started to smile, "I must be an idiot. Whether I'm talented or not doesn't matter at all".

Tadashi was left with wide eyes for he realized that there's no way of convincing him.

"the first time I got on a skateboard...", Reki said as he started to reminisce about the old times, "I'll be blunt.. I was super craptastic at it ... All I did was trip and fall. But ... I felt like wanting to ride it more and more! Yeah, you really don't get it. There's only one reason why we all skate! It's because it's fun!".

"Jeez. Why are all skaters so stupid?", Tadashi stated as he headed out the door, "Do as you like".

"Don't leave me here!", Reki yelled as he ran after Tadashi with a skateboard in hand.
