Idk how to start a fic 👽

Langa Hasegawa was a tall boy with soft, blue hair that fell before his gentle eyes and the sides of his face. You would expect a boy as handsome and pretty as he is to have lots of girlfriends, but nope. He was in fact in gay. And very very VERY in love with his best friend, Reki Kyan: a shorter boy (by an inch or so) with red hair and a headband keeping some of it out of his eyes, which were amber. But unfortunately, Reki was straight. He liked girls. 'Chicks'. Or so he thought,,,

"ughn..." Langa groaned as he got up from his bed with a faint headache. He was heavy, sweaty and flushed from the summer heat.."God why is it so hot?" He stumbled over to his window "What??! My window is open???!!" He thought to himself. He had briefly forgotten it was the middle of June. Midway through another annoyed groan, he remembered that today he was supposed to meet up with Reki. "Reki... reki...." His name echoed softly throughout his head, eventually snapping out of his daydream about him. He started speed-walking to his bathroom to shower and cool off, getting ready for his day with Reki.

[ just an fyi, he's wearing a tank top and sweatpants so you dont get confused cuz when i re-read it i thought he was fucking naked talking to his mom 💀 ] —
"I want to wear something nice for him, not that he would really notice.." Langa giggled at how oblivious Reki could be at times, because even though it wasn't helpful for Langa, it was one of the many reasons he was head over heels in love with Reki. His obliviousness was just so cute..

"What an evil grin you've got on!!" Nanako laughed as she patted her son on the back, snapping him out of it again.

"Wai- What?? Was I grinning? Really???" His cheeks flushed

"Yes, you were!!~ Were you thinking about my 'future son-in-la-"

"MOM" he cut her off, his face red "Y-Yknow he doesn't like me. he doesn't even like guys..." Langa threw a shirt on, attempting to hide his blush

"Oh, come on! Have you not seen the way he looks at you?"

"Trust me, he's probably just zoning out on me by mistake or something.."

"Uh-huh, suuuure." She joked as she walked off into the kitchen.

His mom had always been extremely supportive of him. She always treated him as a normal person, the same as she had always treated him before he came out to her. He loved her so much for that. He was so appreciative and grateful to have a mom like her, he wouldn't trade her for the world.

He glanced at the clock, wanting to be on time, maybe even early. "Ok well i better go" He reached out for a random sweatshirt and threw it on, hoping he looked good..... for Reki..

"Bye, hun!! Have fun!!" His mother shouted happily from the kitchen.

He grabbed his skateboard and made his way down the apartment building, skating through the streets towards Reki's house.

Once he arrived, he hunched over and tried to catch his breath "Oh god.. why did i wear this it's practically 300 degrees out here,," he mumbled to himself. After a minutes rest, he got up and walked towards his door but was stopped by the sight of Reki in his window. He was changing his shirt.. Langa could feel his cheeks heat up as he gave into the urge to scan Reki's bare chest.. every second he stared, the slower time went and the hotter his face felt. His sweatshirt was NOT helping his current situation. "dammit i bet i look so stupid right now... this dumb sweatshirt was such a bad idea.." he thought to himself, not moving a muscle with his eyes glued on Reki. He liked him so much, it hurt sometimes. Reki had appeared at the front door, a huge smile plastered on his face.

"LANGA!!!" He took his hand and pulled him inside.

"O-Oh! Hi Reki!" He blushed, still dazed and unable to face him.

Once inside, Reki wrapped his arms around him, forcing their bodies to press together. He could feel Reki's heartbeat thumping against his own chest, racing just as fast as his was. Langa dizzily put his arms around Reki's waist, hesitating before actually placing his hands down. "..maybe..." he hoped as he buried his face in Reki's neck, where he could also feel his fast pulse. He blushed harder at the thought that he could possibly feel the same, but told himself that he shouldn't get his hopes up and Reki's heart could be beating fast for so many different reasons. Ones unrelated to love and crushes and liking someone... they pulled away from each other and Langa noticed there were different tones to Reki's face.. Warmer, pinker tones... "He's blushing?!!" His eyes widened at the sight. "No, no. He was probably just hot (I mean yeah I know) the heat must've made his cheeks flush. That's the only reason.."

"Wanna eat before we leave, bro?'' Reki asked the taller boy. The word 'bro' stuck to Langa's mind. Because that's all that they were, 'bros, friends, [ homos ] homies'...

"Langaaa?'' Reki waved his hand a few inches away from his face

"Huh? Ah- uh- I'm sorry, yeah let's eat.." he zoned back in, focusing all his attention on reki

"What, no don't apologise!! I space out all the time so i know what it feels like and sometimes i feel like i could space out for hours on end, undisturbed, but that wouldn't be good at all, would it??" He laughed, walking into the kitchen.

"Yeah" he smiled, watching Reki bounce about the kitchen getting them both a small snack.

"We're not gonna have much to eat though, this is just fuel to keep us going until lunch later" Reki smiled over his shoulder at Langa, which made his heart skip a beat

"That's cool with me" he responded, watching reki dart around from cupboard to cupboard searching for something

Langa liked Reki so much. He realised this a long time ago. He wants to hug and kiss him all the time and be able to tell him how much he loved him, he wants to be able to hold Reki in his arms and place soft kisses all over his cute and slightly tanned face. But he knew that would never happen. Reki was straight and didn't like Langa in 'that way'. Besides, he was so grateful that they were this close, even if he couldn't be any more than a Best Friend to him, he was still able to hug him tightly, "accidentally" brush his shoulder against his and sneak quick glances at him whenever he could. It was best if they stayed just friends.....

"Question: Why are you dressed for winter?!" Reki giggled "It's the middle of freakin' June!!" He hopped over to Langa, still laughing, holding two bags of chips.

"I just grabbed the closest thing to the door when I left.. besides, I didn't think it would be THIS hot" he took the chips from him and opened them gently, meanwhile Reki was tearing them apart and shoving multiple of them into his mouth at once and Langa laughed at the sight.

"Jesus christ" Langa smiled at him "Why so eager?" he started laughing again. Whenever he was around Reki he always felt giddy and lightheaded, all his emotions felt like explosions [ song ref 😛 ] that he wasn't able to control.

After they finished eating, Langa caught Reki watching him with a gentle, dazed look (like the looks Langa gave him) and once he was caught he flinched and averted his eyes, blushing.

He gulped.

What on earth was that about?? This was all so confusing!!! Why did he react like that to Langa catching him staring???? "This is so confusing!!!!!" He thought. There's no explainable reason to what just happened apart from... that!!!! But that was impossible. Reki was so out of Langa's league, and he was straight!! I guess there WAS a possibility that he was.. bi or something... It's a term grade schoolers use but, "does Reki like or like-like me??" no. Langa was not allowing himself to get his hopes up. Just because of this little "hiccup" or whatever doesn't mean he likes him back.... He blushed slightly from embarrassment, and because that silly term was something Reki would actually say (probably unironically) which he found very cute. Langa wished Reki would just tell him how he actually felt. Platonic or not, he would be happy finally knowing the answer. Langa was hopeless.

"So er shall we go??" Langa asked

"Oh, Yeah! come on!!"

They grabbed their skateboards which were on top of each other, so obviously their hands touched for a brief second, which sent what felt like lightning bolts down Langa's spine,, any touch from Reki made him feel like he was flying.
