Chapter Text
After a long 8 hour flight, and about an hour long drive to the house, needless to say, Reki and Langa were absolutely exhausted. Their jet lag was prominent in their eyes, and both of them seriously couldn’t wait to go to sleep. It had finally hit summer break in Japan, and what time would be more perfect then now to show Reki Canada? Langa often times missed his own country, so right now would be a perfect time to visit, especially since he could also see his grandpa he hasn’t seen in years! He was the one who owned this house after all.
After finally arriving at his house, they made some small talk with the grandfather who did let them go to Langa’s old room in his house since he could tell they were pretty exhausted at the moment. But Reki could already tell he was gonna love the old man, he seemed incredibly sweet and accepting of his grandson.. and he knew Langa had missed him too. It was sweet to see the way his eyes lit up, though tired, upon seeing his grandfather… and Reki personally thought it was really cute.. but he of course would never say that stuff out loud!! Him and Langa were only friends after-all so he couldn’t be thinking about him like that… though he did really like him.
After entering the room, Langa looked at his old stuff.. some of the trophies from when he was younger and a strong sense of nostalgia hit him, as Langa began to put his stuff down and away… Reki seemed to be paying attention to something completely different. This was not something he had thought of earlier.. there was only one bed. Yeah.. there was no way Reki was going to be able to share a bed with Langa, unless he wanted to be up all night knowing he was sleeping next to.. HIM. He made a face which caught Langa’s attention, because while he wasn’t really the best at understanding other people’s emotions at times.. he could tell Reki was thinking about something.
“Uh… Reki? Is there something the matter?” He asked as he tilted his head to the side, he wondered what had his friend all worked up.. and making that odd face he was. He couldn’t help but notice Reki’s as staring at the bed.. did he not like the sheets or something..? “Oh- no! It’s nothing, do you uh… have some blankets and pillows I can use? I can make myself a bed.. on the floor and stuff..” Reki said a bit sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head. Langa seemed to look even more confused than he was earlier, why was Reki trying to make a bed.. on the floor?? There was a perfectly fine bed in the room..
“Why?”
“Because there’s only one bed dude-“
“I’m not letting you sleep on the floor Reki.”
“Then where will I sleep? You got a guest bedroom or something?”
“No…. We’ll use my bed.”
When the redhead heard the response, he blinked and shook his head, his own cheeks turning the color of his hair. “Oh!! No, I think it will get too crowded.. I uh- I can sleep on the floor-“ he said to him which made Langa raise an eyebrow. He wasn’t sure why Reki seemed so tense and flushed about this, but again.. he could be a bit oblivious to emotions. But there was no way he was letting Reki sleep on the floor! That would hurt after awhile and Reki was technically a guest in this house.. and.. Langa would feel bad if he slept on the floor..
“I’m not letting you sleep on the floor the entire vacation Reki.” the bluenette said with a look of determination in his eyes making Reki blink. Was he seriously gonna be sharing a bed with Langa?? The thing was… Langa was thousands of times more stubborn then anyone else he knew.. he knew he could be pretty stubborn as well but he knew he was gonna force him to sleep on the bed one way or another. Reki sighed and dragged a hand down his face.. god this was going to be… incredibly embarrassing.
“I guess.. if you are fine with it” he mumbled. “Of course I am,” Langa replied to him, now why wouldn’t he be okay with it?? After a bit, Reki sighed and shifted as he grabbed his PJS. “I uh- am gonna go dressed..” he said, Langa nodded and instructed where the restroom was. After the skateboarder went off to the restroom to go get changed, Langa got changed in his room. The entire time, the shorter of the two genuinely felt like he was going to die..
Okay, he couldn’t even deny to himself anymore that he had this.. extremely fat crush on Langa, and that’s why he was flipping out about staying in the same bed with him… it was embarrassing! Yeah… he could never ever tell Koyomi or Miya about this or those two shit heads would never let him hear the end of it! He groaned as he pulled his pizza themed pajama pants and tank top over his body.. this really was going to be one of hell of a night.. one of hell a vacation .. that was for sure.
After getting changed.. he returned to the room where Langa was already laying down, he looked over at him.. and coming to that realization in the bathroom really did hit him like a truck.. god.. he was crushing hard.. he silently laid next to him. It didn’t take very long for his thoughts to be over run by the strong sense of sleepiness he was feeling; however, it didn’t meant that his brain was completely shut off. Yeah… he was gonna have a difficult time sleeping tonight. Knowing Langa was right next to him in bed.. usually back home he would have a futon to lay out for Langa or to bring to his house.. he was such an idiot! Why didn’t he think about bringing one?
“You seem ansty,” Langa commented as he stared at him, Reki blinked out of his thoughts. “Oh- uh.. it’s just cause you know.. it’s weird.. being in a new place.. in a different country.. with a language I can barely speak-“ Reki fumbled out. Langa stared at him for a long while being seeming to remember something Reki mentioning one time. He didn’t think much of it as he reached a hand forward and ran his hands through his fluffy locks of hair. His friend had mentioned before that playing with his hair did make him very relaxed and tired. “Does this help?” He asked.
Reki honestly really couldn’t tell if this was.. better or worse, he just faced his back to Langa. It did feel amazing.. it really did but the amount of thoughts that raced through his head was crazy… but he couldn’t help but relax a bit.. because it felt so amazing. “It feels good..” Reki whispered after a short moment… for now he tried his best to just relax and start to fall asleep because he really needed this. Especially after that long ass flight. What Reki was absolutely was not aware of was that.. Langa liked him as well..
But Langa was.. much better at hiding it through his very slight awkwardness that Reki needed seemed to notice.. and Langa.. gosh he would do anything to have these little moments with him so playing with his hair? It really wasn’t that big of a deal.. but Langa did love it.. and he could tell Reki just melted against his hand.. and he couldn’t even tell that the redhead’s heart and mind were racing so much that he felt like it may explode. But.. Langa adored it, the way he melted, the way he relaxed.. it was endearing.
Neither of them knew when.. but both of them did eventually fall asleep.. Langa’s hands that were once in his hair went down and wrapped around his waist sometime in the middle of the night… Langa always liked holding something as he slept, whether it was a pillow, stuffed animal… he always had to hold something as he slept…
So you can only imagine the gay panic that went through Reki when he woke up the next morning..
