anonymous - chapter seven

It was the next day after the sleepover, and Reki had said goodbye to Langa and went back to his house. He hadn't even began to think about what happened in the previous night. Was it considered embarrassing or awkward?

However, that soon turned as Reki got to his house. He opened the door and walked in, going over to the couch and sitting down. Reki sighed and sat his stuff down, wondering if his mom had left yet. She soon came over to the couch and waved to him, being a little bit late like she always was. Mrs. Kyan was always busy  with the girls and having to do a lot for them since they were young, so this resulted in her always being late for things, especially work.

"Bye, mom." Reki said, smiling. She smiled and nodded, walking to the door. "Bye, Reki. Take good care of the girls, alright? Dad should be home in a few hours, so you won't have to watch them for long." She responded, to which Reki nodded and grabbed his phone.

Soon after she left, Reki started to think to himself, finally thinking about the previous night with Langa. Did he seriously.... cuddle Langa...? Because he was scared of the.... lighting? How stupid, Langa probably thought he was dumb and uncool now. Even though he reassured Reki that it was fine and everyone has their own fears, he still thought it was going to affect how Langa sees Reki. After he left, he probably laughed to himself at how stupid Reki was. Why was that one of his fears? How did he even handle it alone? Most of the time he would crawl up all in his blankets and hide from it, but it was harder to do that as he got older. His whole family knew about his fear too, and made fun of it. This is why Reki probably thought Langa would judge him, when really it was the opposite. The red haired male sighed and leaned back, throwing his phone down beside him.

"This is really uncool." He mumbled, sighing and looking at the ceiling. His sister, Koyomi poked her head over him and raised her eyebrows. "What are you doing?" She asked, leaning her head back up. "You look stupidly stressed. Werent you just with your best friend last night? Did he confess to you or something?"

Reki hurried and sat up after she said that, his face flushed and he waved his arms all around. "No, no, no!! That's not it, really! We're just... yeah! It didn't happen!"

His sister laughed and smirked soon after she was finished. "You're so oblivious, Reki. This is why boys are stupid."

Reki rolled his eyes and looked away, still flushed from what she had said. "Boys are not stupid... they just don't know how to handle these types of things like girls."

"Reki, think about it. I'm pretty sure any guy would realize. You have feelings for him, don't you?"

"Yeah, but why does that matter? It's not like he feels the same, he takes pity on me."

"What do you even mean?!! He clearly likes you. Trust me, I'm an expert on these things. The way he talks to you, the way he always listens to everything you have to say, the way he always forgives you for anything. You guys are real fruity, it's not even funny. I wish one of you guys would confess." She responded, sighing and sitting down beside him.

"Fruity?"

"Yes! You know what that means, dont you?"

"Of course I do!" No, he didn't know what it meant. However, Reki did not want to sound stupid.

"Well, just confess to him already. After all, you never know when he could just suddenly move again or something. You guys might have another argument too, might as well confess while  you have the chance. What do you have to lose?" Koyomi said, shrugging her shoulders and sighing

"I have Langa to lose! We could split up if I confess and he doesn't feel the same." He moped, slouching down and staring at the ground.

"Don't say that, he will feel the same. What even happened last night? You seem so stressed about something that I'm guessing happened last night."
