"Sorry my dorms a mess...I haven't had the energy to clean it. Just ignore all the random shit on the flo-" "it's okay reki calm down." The red head sighs and gets a bit less tense. "Thanks." The two boys walk over to the couch and sit down. "So...oh my God this is awkward I ghosted you for 4 years and then come back and say I love you" "it's okay reki, everything is okay. Calm down you seem so tense." Langa wraps his arms gently around reki for a second, before letting go. "Do you wanna watch a movie?" "Yeah. That'd be nice."

The two watch movies and joke around and giggle with each other for hours. "I'm gonna go get us some food, k? You want pop corn or something-?" "Yeah sure that's fine" reki nods and walks away and comes back a few minutes later. Putting the freshly microwaved bag of pop corn onto the table. "Reki- what happend to your wrists-" "huh- oh i uh-" the boy frantically pulls his hoodie sleeves back over his hands. "I fell while skating the other day..." "those look like cuts." "They're not!" "Then let me see." "N-no...look i-...I don't wanna talk about this right now okay..." "Reki..." "IM FINE. EVERYTHING IS FINE...Just forget about this okay-!?" They both sit there quitely for a bit, before reki starts talking again. "Plus even if they were, who cares." "I care!" "Well you shouldn't care-!" Tears quickly start falling from rekis eyes. "I'm sorry you saw. I should've been more careful...just pretend that this didn't happen pleas, okay?" "Reki you need to let me see, I know you probably don't trust me much, and that's understandable. But please, your worrying me." Reki slowly puts his arm towards langa and rolls up his sleeve. "There. Is that what you wanted to see..." "reki..." there were old and new cuts. It was obvious that this had been going on for a while. "I deserve it..." "n-no...reki..." "can we just change the subject-" "do you have bandages anywhere? You need to cover the new ones..." "...yeah..I'll go get them. I'm...Im sorry langa..."

A bit later reki comes back with bandages covering his wrist. "There...are you happy now?" "Reki come here" "what- why-" langa pulls reki into another hug. "I'm so proud of you reki. And I'm sorry I didn't realize about the cutting sooner..." "it's fine...and- why. You have nothing to be proud of me for.." "Your still alive." "Thats not worth being proud of-" "yes it is." Reki gets quite. "I'm always here if you need to talk" reki nods slightly and holds onto langa. "Can we stay like this? With you holding me like this? It makes me feel so safe." "Of course we can, your doing great." "Thank you langa..." "you don't need to thank me reki...I love you."
