There was no doubt Reki and Langa had some chemistry between them, everyone noticed. How they were always together, hot they had a ton of inside jokes and things only they understood, how one always looked at the other for too long with that admirable and almost loving look in their eyes, it was too obvious.
Too obvious for everyone but them.
Miya, Cherry, Joe and even Shadow always wondered if they were faking the obliviousness or if they were really that clueless of each others feelings.
Well, Langa at least accepted the fact that he actually likes Reki, Reki on the other hand, was more clueless than anyone else. Which no one could seem to figure out why, not would they really try to.
Both of them were utterly helpless, to say the least, but that wasn't gonna stop Miya, no way it would. With all the fanficts he'd read, he had gotten a rather risky idea, a risk he was willing to take. Not like it'd affect him personally anyways.
__________________________________________
Currently, Reki, Langa and Miya were all at "S", waiting for some beef to happen with Shadow and some other rando.
As they waited and chatted, suddenly they heard a whistle, abs the countdown for the race began. Both Shadow and the other guy seemed focused, driven by the will to win the race and show off.
And when the whistle blew, both of them started off strong, skating it off sight almost immediately. They were very close, tho Shadow had the lead for now.
"So who do you think will win?" Reki asked both of them, standing and looking at the huge screen as the race officially started.
"Shadow, of course. He always wins against these new guys." Langa replied, focusing on the screen. Miya just stood next to then and watched the race continue.
"But this guy seems real good, even Shadows ragebait isn't effecting him much." Reki said, intrigued by the new guy.
Langa glances at him, Reki is of course too focused to notice. Miya looks at Langa, who was doing the lovey stare again. Just like in the fanficts Miya read.
After a few moments, Langa snaps out of it, shaking his head and speaking up. "You always say that tho, and who won almost every time?"
Reki glanced at Langa, who eas already looking at him and spoke up. Meanwhile Miya was taking all this in. "Yeah, so what? This guy seems different, he's even got the lead on Shadow now. Look."
As Reki said that, all three of them turned to the screen to see that, very well, The new guy did indeed take the lead.
"That doesn't mean anything, Shadow can always come back." Langa said again. Both of them clearly already bickering playfully, as usual.
"Oh but it does! I-" Reki started, leaning closer to Langas face as if it'd help him prove his point. At this point, no one was really paying attention to the race.
"Just kiss already."
And... Silence. They weren't bickering anymore, nor trying to prove their point. They both just snapped their heads towards Miya, who was next to them, he looked as if he was trying to hide a smirk, and failing.
As they stood there, staring at Miya practically frozen, both their faces started to turn red. Was it embarrassment or were they flustered? Perhaps both, but it didn't matter anyway.
Usually, this wouldn't be a bit deal to them, Miya did make these jokes around them separately, but now...? Now they were next to each other, no one knowing what to say.
"S-shut up, Miya..." Reki tried to sound annoyed, but he was clearly yoo embarrassed. Langa on the other hand just nodded, huffing aa he looked at the big screen, not to watch the race, but to distract himself from getting too embarrassed.
"It's a joke, relax. Unless..." before Miya could continue the teasing, Reki put a hand over his mouth to successfully shush him, looking to the side and huffing in annoyance.
"I told you to shut up!' Reki said, letting out a deep sigh, mostly because he held his breath without even realizing it. Meanwhile Lamga pretended not to hear what Miya started saying.
Miya found this very amusing, he couldn't help but smirk after moving Rekis hand away from his mouth.
"Tch, slimes..." Miya mumbled, but Reki and Langa didn't dare look at each other up until the end of the race, when the previous conversation was *"forgotten"* about.
After that faithfull day, Miya noticed something was a bit... different between them.
