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. ]

[ fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, qi fang had no underground skate fight club to snatch his attention away from the evening's dalliance. in fact, after a few parried texts with reki upon getting home, he hadn't anything else to keep his mind from drifting back to all that they'd done. all that they could still potentially do.

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. ]

Haven't seen the sun (you) in years
Pictures in my room starting to talk to me
