All in due time | A crossover between two worlds

Chapter 1

I'm sorry if it's pretty confusing, but I will be referring to Riku as Reki in this (and probably future) chapter, because it's supposed to be Langa's POV. Idolish7 might call Riku "Nanase Riku", but it will always be "Reki Kyan" for him. Lol. Anyways, enjoy! Please let me know if there's any errors in my writing, so that I may correct my mistakes. Quote above belongs to Franz Kafka!

Timeline: A few days after Friends day.

"Why am I here again?" Langa yawned.

"So that you may have some outdoor exposure. You can't sit all day in your room." Cherry chided.

Joe nodded. "Kaoru is right, you know." He stopped walking.

"I know you're still upset over what happened with Reki, but we are too."

Joe pats his shoulder. "But it's unhealthy to stay in your room and do nothing. So think of this as a break from everything, alright?"

Langa avoided eye contact until Joe sighed and went to Kaoru's side.

"Where's Miya?" He asked.

"Ah, he'll be here after school." Langa nodded.

"And shadow?"

Joe shrugged.

Langa looked around. "Then, I'll be taking my leave."

He took his skateboard and left.

The couple can't help but sigh, watching the young man skate.

"I hope this will be a good distraction from.." Joe trailed off.

Kaoru held Joe's hand in his own. "It's not your fault."

Joe gripped his hand harder. "I know. My only hope is that wherever Reki is, I hope he's okay."

Langa skated absentmindedly, getting lost in the crowd.

What was the point of skating without Reki? The same question kept repeating in his head.

His chest tightened as the air gushed through his face, not noticing that he bumped into a guy soon after.

"Ow!" The person groaned as he fell to the ground on his butt.

"I'm sorry! Here, let me help you up." As he offered his hand to help, he examined the person a bit.

The person had red hair and was wearing a cap and red glasses. It seemed like he was trying to conceal himself.

He desperately ignored how the red hair reassembled Reki so much.

When the person looked up at him, Langa felt his heart stop.

He looked around, trying to avoid the familiar sighting in front of him- only for his eyes to land on the skateboard he was holding.

He had finally put bits of the puzzle in their respective places for him to know the truth.

The guy flashed the brightest smile that Langa had seen in years. "Ah, that's alright! Are you fi-"

Like a deer caught in hindsight, he muttered: "Reki?"

One word seemed to shock the said person.

Langa's hand shakily reached for Reki's cheek. As he caressed his face, he started to sob.

"Reki, i-is that really you? Oh god, where have you been all this time? I finally- I finally found you!"

Langa was relieved as his muscles relaxed. He finally found Reki- he found Reki! It's been 2 years since his best friend disappeared, but he found him!
