Rehearsal

Reki said he was going to walk you home but instead pulled you inside to hide in an employee room. He clearly wanted to spy on what the manager was going to tell Langa, and even though you really doesn't want to think about this, you were curious too. The race gave you too much anxiety to think about it, but at the same time part of you just has to do it.

You leaned your back against the wall as Reki listened, his still hasn't let go of your hand from before, and you simply gave in as his hands felt warm.

On the other side of the wall, Langa stared at the little fox who was eating his food, and contemplated whether he really was being too aggressive about this.

You didn't bother to try and hear until curiosity got the best of you and decided to lean on Reki's shoulder to peak out the doorway as well.

"Unrelated, I heard you and y/n will be skating against Adam?"

Langa stopped sweeping and looked at manager Oka.

"I guess I know who told you that." He leaned on the broom.

"No one told me personally, it's hot "S" gossip."

Oka pulled out some safety gear from beneath the cashier desk.

"These will keep you two or of the hospital, not that I really expect you to listen to me."

From a distance, You felt relieved to see those, a helmet and cushioners, that'll definitely lessen some blow.
Until...

"We don't need them." Langa simply answered.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, a lot of great skaters wear this stuff for protection." The manager tried to assure Langa, thinking it wad just the pride.

Yes Langa! Everyone needs them! Pro or not! Just take them and I'll wear mine!! You tried to telepathically tell Langa even though he didn't know you were there.

"It looks hard to move in, and y/n has a very relaxed but loose skating style, we'll mess up. We'll be much faster without them." Langa excused.

It was nice that he thought of his partner, but his partner doesn't mind!!!

This shocked the manager.
"You're convinced you'll win against Adam!?"

"... No, I'm convinced me and y/n will. Shouldn't I be? I'm pretty good, and she's skated long before me, I know she has." He replied calmly.

The manager looked over to the door you two were hiding at and shrugged with an "I really tried, ok?" Look.

Reki sweat dropped as he looked at him, dumbfounded by Langa's ridiculous confidence.
You on the other hand, slid down against the wall as your soul left your body, also shocked and dumbfounded by his confidence.

.

"That's it, I'm going home. Let me cry into my pillow of my upcoming death." You groaned as you walked your defeated form on your route home.

"I'm sorry y/n, I guess he's committed to torture. Just great."

"Yeah and he decided to drag me in too, why me?" You facepalmed.

Then you stopped in your tracks as you no longer heard his footsteps, and instead heard a crowd and turned to see him squirming through it.

Now a normal friend would follow him, a normal friend. Yeah. You waited in the shades of a nearby tree, away from the crowd. Whatever the extrovert decided, that's his problem, you don't need anymore so you decided to just wait for him.

You then heard two sets of footsteps and a distressed Reki. As you turned around, you witnessed cherry in his public attire, bitch slapping Reki who yelped.
You gave a weirded out yet surprised look as cherry looked at you with a greeting smile, then frowned as he turned to Reki again. You walked a bit closer because you wasted to know why Reki got slapped.
