knock me down like a heavyweight
[ by the time reki's gotten to his seat in homeroom, it feels like the night before was all just some sort of hazy, surreal dream. a lot's happened since then; for one, his arm is bandaged all the way up to the elbow, compliments of a gnarly gash he got bailing straight into a cluster of jagged rocks, he's probably killed off half the brain cells he's got left skidding on his face, and the unfathomable weight of last night's loss is heavy on his mind. kinda hard to think about anything else when he can still hear his skateboard crackling beneath the flames. fuckin' sucks, man.
it takes awhile for him to zone back into reality. really, it's less of a zone and more of a jolt, when the gaggle of jeering students crowding around him start to dissipate and he notices qi fang with a start. fuck, he forgot all about those english notes. even worse, qi fang looks so good, fresh-faced and distractingly handsome. reki, on the other hand, looks like he stayed up til the early hours of the morning getting stitched up in the ER and barely slid into class in time for the bell in yesterday's wrinkled clothes. embarrassing.
whatever. he has until lunch to think up a good excuse for why he can't return those notes yet. instead, of course, he sleeps straight through all of his classes and sleep-walks up the stairs to the roof, flopping into his usual spot against the fence, debating whether or not he even wants to be awake to eat. a nap in the sun sounds a lot better, so he pulls his hoodie up and leans his head back against the chain links, letting his eyes drift shut slowly. ]

at least the general chaos of school provides something of a distraction. sun jing is still sun jing, after all, and chuckling over his best friend's general missteps with her own love life is often a good bulk of the morning's activities. sure, he keeps an eye out for reki, but apart from a quick meeting of their eyes right before the homeroom bell rings, trying to get the redhead's attention proves to be more difficult than he'd anticipated. he can't easily tell if the other boy is just avoiding him — for the most part, their paths don't usually cross anyway — but he manages to find out where the other boy's slunked off to for lunch, and breaks off with his own group of friends to seek the other out. he's not really one to dwell, after all; if this is something he shouldn't continue to think about, he'd rather know now than later. ]
Pretty sure nothing I did would've banged up your arm, so I can only assume you tripped on your way home. Should've let me walk you when I offered.
[ he greets reki with a gentle shove to his foot, and when the other boy looks up he'll offer the second rice ball he'd been carrying for a light lunch. he doesn't sit yet, though, thinking he should at least wait for an invitation. ]
no subject
not that that matters when he hears qi fang's voice. then he's awake, groaning as he scrubs a hand over his bandaged face. fuck, right. he forgot. he was supposed to be coming up with an excuse. he's lucky that qi fang comes in clutch and supplies one for him, even if the way he goes about it leaves him bright red in the face. ]
Shit. Yeah. About that...
[ his bleary eyes take a second to focus, so it's only then that he realizes he's being offered food. it's been a long while; his stomach grumbles, warning him that refusing this gesture is not an option. reki takes it and jerks his head towards the spot beside him, just in case qi fang's interested in sticking around. ]
Thanks. Anyway, what'll it take for me to convince you to let me hold those notes for another night?
no subject
so, briskly, he answers, ] You could suck me off again.
[ there's a full second where he just lets those words marinate, but then he's grinning and plopping down beside reki, chainlink clinking noisily under his weight. ]
Kidding. It's probably not a good idea to get in the habit of trading sexual favors. Pretty sure it'll eventually dampen the mood.
[ he tears into the wrapping of his rice ball and takes a bite large enough to decimate half of it. ]
Let's see... Since you already owe me nuggets and breakfast, you might as well throw in dinner to round it all off.
no subject
he does hang on that phrasing, though. eventually dampen the mood. like maybe that blowjob isn't entirely off the table. ]
Guess you've got a point.
[ right, but now what excuse is he going to use to get more of it? honesty seems like a minefield right now. admitting you kind of miss the taste of somebody is pretty lame. but it's hard to miss the way his tongue flicks over his lips involuntarily when he thinks about it, even though that might just be because he's pondering his first bite of the riceball clutched awkwardly in his bandaged hand. ]
Still got your heart set on McDonald's?
no subject
I'd probably get sick of it in succession like that, so you have my permission to surprise me.
[ but now he turns his attention to reki, letting his head tip back against the chain as he looks him over. definitely notes the wetness of his lips. ]
no subject
just like that, though, qi fang's gaze is back on him and he's burning up all over again. with a quiet mumble, he takes a bite and holds out his good hand to tick off his fingers. ]
So you want breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in succession.
[ that's three fingers, in case either of them are struggling with math this semester. ]
When're we doing all this?
no subject
[ it's not a lie, but it's not exactly the whole truth. his sundays are usually eventless, especially given he doesn't currently have a part-time job right now, but there's a dogged greediness brewing inside him that makes him want to drag this on as much as possible. crummy as it feels to feel like you're essentially blackmailing someone into spending time with you, qi fang knows it would feel infinitely crummier to just let this thing go.
which is definitely a sharp 180 from where his mind had been made up just the other night. maybe it's the way reki seems to curl in on himself every time qi fang's attention drifts to someone else, or a pair of eyes flick over to survey them. he's not insecure enough to think reki's embarrassed to be seen with him, and so it definitely makes him wonder just what exactly his issue is. fueled by morbid curiosity. ]
That's pretty doable, right?
no subject
fuck. wasn't he just in a bad mood? he's not ready to smile like his flickering frown is threatening to do. he fully planned to mope over his loss all day and then bitch about it to his manager later, but now he barely fucking cares at all. he's much more interested in mentally drafting a text to that same manager begging him for a brief reprieve while he rests his injured arm. oka will know he's lying, but whatever. ]
Tonight's my only night off, so if you wanna knock out dinner, that's your chance.
[ this is kind of technically the second time he's asked qi fang out, and it's still just as nerve-wracking. ]
I'm sure that's not enough notice though. I could talk to my manager about next week, maybe.
no subject
...aside, you know. from the carnally obvious.
but even that's up in the air, isn't it? school rooftop surrounded by your peers isn't exactly the best place to negotiate such terms, or go over the offerings on the table. not without some embarrassing blushes, at least. it's a delicate line they're walking right now, and qi fang can't say he's ever had to do it before. ]
Tonight works.
[ he draws a knee up, propping an arm over it. there's a smirk biting at the edges of his otherwise disarming smile. ]
I feel like I disrespected your manager enough the other day that I don't wanna be the reason he has to shift the schedule around.
no subject
and yeah, he's thinking about that too. and about how many people there are on this rooftop, a situation he never likes under any condition that isn't no-holds barred skateboard battles. most of all, though, he's thinking about qi fang's original offer, especially now that he's being personally victimized by that almost-smirk. joking or not, it's sticking around, and this time, he isn't quite as covert about licking his lips. sure, he looks like shit, but...
maybe it's time for a little test. just to keep all these underhanded tactics going. anyway, he's too insecure to come up with a better plan. ]
Sounds good to me. [ he says, stretching out his arms above his head, slowly getting to his feet. ] Well. I gotta hit the head. Thanks for lunch.
no subject
or does it? ]
Alright... I'll see you around?
[ he's watching reki again. closer now that there can be no mistake his question is asking something else, something neither of them can voice right now. his eyes flicker down, briefly, back to those lips. then he's meeting reki's eyes again, a brow quirking in his search for confirmation.
he's not looking to be a creep here, following some boy he fucked the night before into the bathroom like he's some dog in heat... not unless reki wants him to. ]
no subject
instead, he's giving reki the most exciting look he's ever received. impossible to miss the way he's eyeing up his lips too when reki's gazing at him right back, which is perfect; there's nothing reki wants more in the world right now than to grab a handful of that hair and drag him into a kiss. if only they had a place to go and do that.
he flashes a twisted little smirk and gives one of qi fang's sneakers a playful kick of his own. ]
Hope so.
[ if there's a little more sway in his walk when he makes his way across the roof, it's not even intentional. it's just the mood he's in now, ruminating on last night. qi fang called him sexy. and if he managed to get his message across in spite of them being surrounded by their peers, he certainly fucking feels that way now. ]
no subject
there's a lump in his throat again that he has to work a little harder to swallow down, because this isn't just some illicit meeting in the dark and quiet of a closed down store. this is in broad daylight, in the middle of a school day, at school, during a high traffic period. it's riskier than risky, it's downright stupid.
reki vanishes down the stairwell and qi fang is suddenly on his feet. his hands twitch at his sides, limbs alive with that same electric current that had him rushing to the convenience store right before the skate shop. stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid, his mind keeps screaming at him, echoing out every step he takes off the rooftop, towards the boy's bathroom.
what was it he'd called it earlier? morbid curiosity? what a laugh. but he's way too busy feeling incredibly horny and thrilled to even pause to laugh at himself. ]
