Summary
“You smell like strawberries.”
Reki goes as red as his hair.
“Oh, yeah...I was out of shampoo so I had to use Koyomi’s this morning,” Reki says, and laughs in that way he does when he feels awkward and is trying to divert any and all attention. “Embarrassing, right?”
“I like it,” Langa says.
{Or, the one where Reki smells like strawberries and Langa thinks he might, most definitely, be in love.}

Summary
When Langa asks his mom if he can bring Reki to a wedding, she assumes the two of them have finally figured it out, and started dating.
They haven't, but by the time Langa figures out the misunderstanding, it's too late, and they pretend, just for the weekend. Nothing could go wrong there, right?

Summary
“Maybe,” Reki laughs, leaning over to ruffle Langa’s hair. He’s close, so close that Langa can tell when he realizes how close they are. Reki pulls back and whispers, almost like he’s sharing a secret, “You always think I can do impossible things.”
In Langa’s mind, there are three impossible things; snow in Okinawa, a 900 caught on camera, and Reki liking him back the way he does.
From somewhere, probably the kitchen, Langa hears Masae call them for dinner. He’s moving to get up when Reki kisses him on the cheek. Featherlight and chaste but it happens.

Summary
Learning a language for your bro was totally a reasonable thing to do, Reki decided. A best bro. A bro who you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. A bro who you would follow across the universe. A bro who you loved so much, as a friend, that you genuinely couldn’t imagine your life without them at your side.

It's almost time to graduate, and neither Reki nor Langa have any concrete plans for their first foray into adulthood. But they'll have to decide what to do eventually--whether it's going to university, finding a full-time job, or trying to make skating a lucrative past-time. There is only one sure thing: Reki wants his future to include Langa no matter what, even if that means following him halfway across the world.
Sure, Reki's aware that learning English won't guarantee that he and Langa spend the rest of their lives together, but he figures it'll at least give him a fighting chance.
Strangely enough, he's right.

Summary
It would only be a matter of time before Langa noticed he was acting weird and confronted him about it. What was Reki supposed to do then? What could he say that would make sense? More sense than "yeah, sorry, man, I might have fallen a teeny-tiny bit in love with you"?
He froze. In love? No, no, nonono, that couldn’t be it. Admiration, friendship, and well, some type of crush, maybe, since Langa was so talented, and cool and always knew exactly what to say to make Reki feel all warm inside, but in love? A sequence from the video flowed into Reki’s mind; when Langa had started smiling, the pink evening light coloring his hair purple, and how his eyes had glittered, the way they always did when something made him truly happy or excited... Reki whimpered into his hands and squirmed, folding in on himself on the bed.
Damn it, damn it, damn it, DAMN IT.
He was so fucking screwed.
(Or in which Reki finds himself in a most surprising situation; on a paradise island with all his friends - travel and accommodation paid in full by his least favorite person. At least the man in question isn't with them. The holiday is challenging enough as Reki tries to figure out his confusing feelings for Langa.)
