It Started With a Kiss (Renga)

~7~

"I can't tell him I like him!"

"Like who?"

All three guys turn to the entrance door to the restaurant and see a tall pink haired male.

"Langa was just telling us how much of a crush he has on Reki" Joe said with a smirk and Langa just goes pale and slams his head on the counter top.

"Huh has he finally figured it out himself?" Kaoru (aka cherry blossom) walks over to the counter and takes a seat next to Joe "I'll only take wine for today" he demands.

"Coming right up Pinkie" Joe joked as he stood up and walked back into the kitchen of his restaurant.

"Wait Cherry what did you mean by 'has he finally figured it out'?" Langa asked as he raised his head.

"How dense are you? How couldn't you have known that you had feelings for Reki? I mean everyone has been able to notice how you act around him"

"Hm..."

"AGHHHH! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!" Reki shouts on the top of his lungs pulling on his hair "Why can't I accept the fact that Langa has a girlfriend!? He doesn't like guys! He's straight!?" Reki bites his bottom lip in frustration then let out a groan then a sad chuckle.

"Who am I kidding? Telling myself that won't help with anything..." Reki looks over at his board and grabbed it "Skating more will help..." Reki turned his board around to look at the bottom of his board and the first thing he saw was his and Langa's names on it.

Reki had almost forgotten that Langa helped him make this board for himself. It was really a special day for Reki, he had never had friends to show how he makes skateboards or even show them how to themselves but now he has Langa and Langa enjoys watching Reki make skateboards so Reki had an idea to teach Langa to make his first Board.

Reki was working on the outline of a skateboard on a piece of smooth wood when he noticed from the corner of his eye Langa watching closely in amusement.

"I have an idea" Reki suddenly said which startled Langa a bit before looking at the other teen.

"Idea?"
"Yeah, why don't I teach you how to make a skateboard? I mean you always look amazed when I'm making them"

Langa smiled big and he quickly got up "Really. You'll teach me?" He asked in excitement.

Reki blushed at Langas cute reaction 'Like a puppy...' "Heh.. yeah if you'd like me too?" He asked and got a quick nod from Langa "O-okay then! Here come, let's start with the outline of the board"

<><><><><>

Reki still remembers how happy he was when the board came out great for his first try "Langa...anything I do, I can't stop thinking about you....I'm sorry I can't deny it anymore....I like you"

"What...."
