Lost - Sk8 the Infinity LangRen Fanfic

Behavior

(A/N: who have listened to their drama CD 'Cindereki'? Hahahaha. Such shoujo-ish plot... but I am squealing. LangRen is a canon. I've seen one of the sketches of the anime staff. They draw LangRen in wedding clothes. This is true. It's on the wikia page, image gallery hahahahaha)

"Reki. Let's go buy drinks together." Langa spoke when they are walking back to their classroom after a short break.

"Okay." Reki answered. This is usual, he and Langa always together.

The next day.

"Reki. Are you one of the cleaners today? I'll help you clean." Langa spoke after their classes have finished today.

"... okay." Reki nodded as he went to get the brooms. He took a deep breath to remain calm while suppressing the strangeness that he feels.

Langa... seems to be stickier to him today. Although they are always together like the usual, but Langa, recently, seemed stickier lately. Going out of the classroom, buying drinks... their time being together has increased. The only time that they are separated is...

"Reki." MIYA called as he and SHADOW approached him.

Reki turned. "MIYA. SHADOW." He called and nodded at them.

"Langa has become better lately." MIYA frowned. He just lost a beef with Langa. Now, Langa is skating again after someone challenged him.

Yes. The two of them are separated, excluding during when they are at home, when Langa is skating. Reki also wanted to have a beef, but he knows his strength isn't enough so he is continuing practicing. Fortunately, he has already accepted this fact, so he isn't that depressed anymore.

Reki's eyes that supposed to brighten after hearing someone compliment Langa didn't change. "Yes. He is getting better and better!" he said and grinned. But, his eyes didn't have shine in them.

It's because he noticed that Langa's behavior has become strange, except when skating. And Langa's behavior is strange only towards him. He noticed this when he saw Langa interacted with MIYA, SHADOW, Joe and Cherry earlier. Langa... he still looked the usual when skating and interacting towards others. He is acting strange only towards him.

Reki frowned. Is this bullying? Has Langa learned how to bully me? He thought as he tilted his head with his brows knitted. But, it was only me around him, though, and his mother definitely wouldn't teach him how to bully others. So, where did Langa learn how to bully me? He thought.

MIYA and SHADOW saw Reki's deep scowl and suddenly felt anxious. Reki and Langa... did something happen between them again?! They thought. MIYA's eyes flashed with panic and he wanted to pull Reki and ask him about it. But, he remembered SHADOW's words before that the problem between Reki and Langa, only them two can solve it.

Damn it... why am I so useless? MIYA thought as he lowered his head. He uttered an excuse and then left to buy drinks to cool his head.

Joe and Cherry saw MIYA approaching. They were about to call him when they saw MIYA passed by them without even looking at them. They froze, then looked at SHADOW and Reki. SHADOW looked jittery although he was suppressing it. Meanwhile, Reki, if he is not deliberately hiding his emotions, is transparent. This is how MIYA and SHADOW noticed that he and Langa has a problem again.

"... did something happen between Reki and Langa again?" Joe asked with his voice filled with helplessness.

Cherry removed his gaze. "Why ask me and not them?" he asked.

Joe looked at Cherry before he forced a smile. He has forgotten that this guy valued the machines more than the people.

"Langa." Joe called after Langa won, leaving his opponent to eat dust.

"Joe. Cherry." Langa nodded at them as he picked up his skateboard.

Joe was about to speak to ask Langa if something happened between him and Reki again when he felt Carla hit him on his shin. He froze. It was a soft hit. He turned and looked at Cherry only to see him looking at Langa. He turned to look at Langa and saw that Langa's expression looked like the usual.

Joe was taken aback. So... nothing has happened between him and Reki? He thought, confused. But, he also felt relieved. He already treated these kids as his own people. He still remembered that time when Reki almost gave up just because he felt inferior. In fact, Reki isn't inferior. But, he just needs to be polished. Joe doesn't doubt that Reki can catch up to them.

Joe smiled and glanced at Cherry. This guy... is actually sharper than I thought. He thought as he turned to Langa. He actually also cares about the kids.

"Is something the matter?" Langa asked when he noticed that Joe and Cherry are silent.

"Nothing." Joe answered and patted Langa's back. "Go. Reki's waiting for you." He told him.

Hearing Reki's name, as usual, Langa's eyes became brighter than when he was skating. Joe and Cherry watched Langa almost flew to where Reki is. They understood from the last time that Reki, to Langa, is more important than skating. It's not because it was Reki who opened this world to Langa, became his teacher, and even made a skateboard especially for Langa that combines the snowboarding and skateboarding which Langa both loves, but Reki is Langa's friend.

A very special friend. Nothing can change this. (A/N: man... I want to add words in here right now... but let's wait until later. Hahahahaha.)

"Reki." Reki heard Langa's voice called.

Reki turned. "Langa." He called. Then, he noticed where he is. "Sorry. I wasn't waiting on the finish line. The air here is cooler..." He explained and apologetically smiled.

Langa nodded. SHADOW was secretly observing the two and saw that they are acting like the usual. He inwardly sighed in relief when he didn't notice anything. He left to go to tell MIYA. Meanwhile, Joe and Cherry, after seeing that Langa and Reki are still the same, went to race against each other. The other skaters also aren't interested in anything other than skating, and it were Joe and Cherry who are racing against each other!

So, no one noticed that the atmosphere between the two people suddenly changed. Like there is something subtle, and also somewhat tense. Like something is about to start, but also seems not...

"Let's go home?" Langa asked after a while.

"... okay." Reki nodded as he forced himself to remain calm. "I'll text MIYA and the others that we're leaving first." He said as he took out his phone to distract himself. Why do I suddenly feel tense? It's just Langa, right? He thought as he tapped on the screen of his phone. It was the same as usual earlier when the others are around...

So... it is different when it's just the two of them? That's right... it suddenly became different. 

(A/N: let me prepare my heart...)
