knock me down like a heavyweight

[rekd]

[ 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. ]

A little after six.

[ they're sitting propped up against the headboard, pillow tucked against their lower backs, shoulders touching and head bowed low on pizza and quiet murmurs. if he listens carefully, he can only hear the faintest bit of movement outside. ]

No school for us, I guess.

[ no real skin off his nose, to be honest. not like he can really focus on anything today. ]

[rekd]

Shit. I could probably talk someone into giving you a ride. You could still make it.

[ not his ma, who is going to remain blissfully unaware of his plans for today, but someone. the thing is, well...

he can't tell qi fang the things he probably wants to know, but he can squirm uncomfortably and pull a sour face and mutter, ]

Don't want you to, though.

[tongxue]

[ at this point qi fang's already made his mind up about it. a missed day isn't going to affect his standing, not that that really matters much to him anyway. he'd much rather see more of this, this pouty reki who fusses to try and get his way. ]

Gonna miss me, huh? Lucky for you I got a whole free day ahead of me. Feel free to take it up.

[rekd]

[ maybe he shouldn't have said anything. now his ears are burning, bright and red as his hair. like, yeah, of course he expected the ribbing. still can't control his reaction to it, though, not when qi fang's the source. ]

Don't say it like that! And fine, just for that, I will.

[tongxue]

[ it all just makes his grin wider. reki really is too cute for his own good, the kind of cute you can't decide if you want to bite his cheeks or kiss him silly. maybe both. the fact he can be just as sexy is a little worrying, if only because qi fang is starting to realize just how weak to it all he really is. ]

What's on today's docket, then? I'm hoping a shower's in there, somewhere.

[rekd]

[ just thinking about, like, doing things is too much. reki tosses what's left of his crust into the box and turns on his side, groaning. ]

Nap, then shower... Then nap?

[ he asks, training that owlish amber gaze on qi fang hopefully. ]

[tongxue]

[ he makes a face at that look, thinking by now that reki has to know how it affects him. not that he's opposed at all to those suggestions, but somehow having it slung at him with those big puppy eyes makes him want to be contrary. and yet of course he can't be. ]

You really play dirty, huh.

[ a sigh, but he's really not all that opposed. he does, however, take the time to pull his jersey over his head and toss it down to the ground beside them. then he settles down, looking much more comfortable. ]

If I'm gonna nap first, I'm not gonna do it covered in your blood, dude.

[rekd]

[ he looks like a lot more than that. reki can hardly help the way his gaze trails, down and back again. kinda takes all the heat out of his retort. redirects it right back to his face, in fact. ]

The fuck? Oh, but you can just squirt your fluids wherever the hell you please.

[tongxue]

[ ah... qi fang at least has the grace to look embarrassed by that, heat rising in his own cheeks. ]

Yeah, about that... sorry.

[ should he say more? he kind of feels like it would just make things worse if he did... ]

[rekd]

[ oh, right. makes sense that wouldn't be funny yet. now his face thinks it's a competition, which one of them can be the first to superheat until they burst into flames. ]

What, no. It was a joke.

[ but now he's actually thinking about it, obvious by the way he's trying not to squirm and soundly failing. ]

It's fine.

[tongxue]

[ somehow, qi fang feels a little better that reki's just as embarrassed. and that he's actually willing to joke about it now. maybe it's really okay, then... ]

I'll ask, next time. [ next time. ] You just looked so good, I didn't even know it was happening till it did.

[rekd]

[ yeah, just all of that is a minefield of things he can't hear right now. the last thing he wants to think about is how he looked. reki slumps down in his spot and throws an arm over his face. ]

Oh my god, I said it's fine.

[tongxue]

[ he huffs out a laugh, rolling over till he can hover over reki, prodding at that arm. ]

C'mon, are you embarrassed? After you fucked yourself on my dick like that? No one moves like that if they didn't know they were hot shit.

[rekd]

[ reki swats at him half-heartedly. ]

Stooooop. You can't say shit like that.

[tongxue]

[ that just encourages qi fang to crowd around him some more. ]

Are you trying to seduce me? This bashful shit just makes you even cuter, y'know.

[rekd]

[ at least someone is getting something out of all this tortured squirming he's doing. reki rolls on his side with a huff. ]

No. You already rejected me today. Fuck off.

[tongxue]

Aw c'mon.

[ qi fang follows suit, practically shoving his face in reki's. ]

That wasn't a rejection, that was a rain check.

[rekd]

[ perfect. now reki can narrow his eyes right at him. ]

The nerve. I don't take rain checks.

[tongxue]

[ it's not much of a punishment when qi fang likes those eyes, however they look. ]

No?

[ he starts snaking a hand down the length of reki's torso, pawing at him. ]

Should I suck you off instead? Get back in your good graces?

[rekd]

[ his breath hitches. be strong, reki. ]

Won't cut it. It'll take way more than that.

[tongxue]

[ be strong, reki, especially as qi fang teases along the waistband of his hands and traces his fingers over his thighs, his hips — touching everywhere but his crotch. ]

High maintenance, huh? Alright, name your terms.

[rekd]

[ if he didn't have such a banger waiting in the wings, it'd be impossible to keep from squirming. but he does, so he does those hands dirty, keeping still and staring seriously. ]

Come inside me again.

[tongxue]

[ it's like a slap in the face, but like. the sexy kind. qi fang swears he feels the next beat of his heart go straight down to his dick, which traitorously stirs in interest. ]

Well. [ that comes out in a breathier huff than he's intended to, but what the fuck can he do when reki just knocked the air right out of him. ] Gotta make sure the host likes me, right...?

[ he swallows after that, trying valiantly to be discreet about the fact he's really, really turned on now. ]

[rekd]

[ it's probably tough to keep discreet when reki's hands are all over him now. all that tension qi fang was building up has to go somewhere, and reki chooses to funnel it all into palming his cock through his shorts again, his grasp firm, his head tipping so that he can bite at qi fang's lip. ]

Right.

[ back to making demands again, his teeth gritting impatiently. ]

Fuck me.

[tongxue]

[ it's embarrassing how eagerly his cock jumps at that contact, hardening back to its fullness like when he'd just woken up earlier. he grunts, teeth grit as he wrestles with common sense. it tells him that it's still early, that people are in the house, that fucking children were still in the house... and as much as he wants to pin reki down and fuck him into his bed, his eyes stall on that split lip, the bruising around his eye. is he hurt elsewhere? ]

Are you sure you can be quiet?

[ he slips his hand down under the waistband of reki's pants, palming at his cock. he's hesitating... but also not really. ]
