[ maybe he's pushing too much. push too hard, and aren't you just asking for something to break? besides, decisions can always be revisited, redone. nothing's set in stone here, and despite a part of him still thinking all of this is way too good to be true, maybe he should just — let it happen. be happy about it.

so he relents with a soft sigh. relieved, to be honest, now that he lets himself feel it. he can't reach his lips as they are now, so he'll just plant a kiss atop reki's head instead. ]

I like you too. Like, a fucking lot.

[rekd]

[ reki smiles softly, his cheeks flaring with heat. thank god this hand is here for him to bury his face against. ]

I like you so fucking much.

[ this is a way better conversation. reki's mood is instantly improved, back to nothing but sunshine, and eventually he even slithers his way out of hiding to throw his arms around qi fang and pepper his jaw with kisses. ]

It's revolting, honestly.

[tongxue]

Yeah, but who cares.

[ that was easy. maybe not the easiest, but it was far easier to work through than he initially thought. for now he's just going to trust that this decision will work out for reki and them both. in the meantime he's going to let himself enjoy this, this little victory of them overcoming a hurdle, and the pure affection pouring out out of reki as he holds him close. ]

Now you have all this free time, huh? Whatever could we do with it...

[rekd]

You wanted to go on dates, right?

[ imagine, being able to stay conscious for the whole day instead of having just enough energy to fool around between naps. that alone is going to change everything. ]

We could do that. Or whatever else you wanna do.

[tongxue]

Ooh, shit, you're really gonna let me date you date you, huh?

[ his slides his hands down along reki's back, linking his hands at where his spine just bows slightly right before the swell of his ass. ]

Wanna go to that amusement park this weekend? I can try to win you a toy then get all sulky when you throw rings better than me.

[rekd]

Yeeeah. I thought about it and decided you're not gonna cramp my style too bad.

[ suddenly, this feels like he's still too far away. reki wriggles his way up, until he can press his forehead against qi fang's and sink blissfully against him. ]

I'm in. Prepare to sulk, prettyboy.

[tongxue]

It wasn't an invitation for competition, [ he mutters quietly, apparently already getting a head-start on the sulking. slowly he worms his hands underneath reki's shirt, echoing that desire to be closer and closer still. ]

We'll get Chihiro and Nanaka something too, so they don't end up swiping whatever I manage to win you.

[rekd]

Good idea. Maybe if we get 'em chewtoys they'll stop trying to eat the furniture.

[ reki isn't sure what's better: the vibe, or getting to luxuriate under qi fang's touch like this. he makes a low, pleased little noise in the pit of his throat, but he's back up again in a second, kinetic as ever. ]

We could kiss on the ferris wheel. Isn't that a thing?

[tongxue]

[ how can he possibly stop the cheesy grin that spreads across his lips when reki is being this cute? ]

Yeah, that's a thing. [ he lifts a hand to start tucking errant strands out of reki's face, behind his ear. ] We can do whatever you want, man. The whole day can be ours.

[rekd]

[ reki's grinning too, but his has a little more spice to it. ]

What about blowjobs on the ferris wheel? Is that a thing?

[tongxue]

[ yeah, qi fang knew it was coming. how could he not, by now? ]

I mean, probably. But only if I get to get you off the second round.

[rekd]

[ reki snickers. ]

We're never gonna leave that fucking wheel, man.

[ all this has reki thinking, though, idly toying with qi fang's hair as he considers just how long it's been since he's done something like this—anything like this. ]

Y'know, it's been a long time since I've gone out and done shit with anyone my own age. Kinda makes me wonder what else I've been missin' out on.

[tongxue]

[ it's a sobering thought, if only because it just reminds qi fang how much more he still has to learn about reki. without realizing, his hand stands moving in slow, comforting circles against reki's back. ]

To be honest, it's probably all boring as fuck compared to what you're used to... but you got me to do that stuff with now. We'll do it all, huh? Whatever you want.

[rekd]

[ yeah, reki's had his suspicions that most other teenagers are just bored most of the time. but now it's different; qi fang makes things like walking fun when it's never, ever been before. ]

I, uh...

[ see, here's the problem. ]

I wouldn't really know what to want.

[tongxue]

[ alright, well. qi fang has to laugh at that. it's such an absurd thing to fathom, that a teenager wouldn't know what teenagers do. but he gets it, he thinks. if anything, it makes him more endeared to the other. ]

Honestly? I dunno if we do much. It's mostly just hanging out, killing time. Getting into trouble cuz we can't help ourselves. Trying to get lucky where we can.

[ he pauses, thinking about it. ]

We're kind of already doing it, actually. Just shooting the shit like this. Watching your sisters. Hanging around each other's place.

[rekd]

[ trust that reki turns bright red at that laugh. retaliation comes in the form of pinched cheeks; it is kinda funny, probably, so qi fang will get off easy on this grave betrayal. ]

So... nothing is the answer. Wasn't missing out on much after all.

[ except, he guesses, moments like these. people he can actually connect to. but that's way too lame to voice, and anyway, he already has that. #nonewfriends ]

Maybe I'll start actually going to soccer club or something.

[tongxue]

You play soccer?

[ this, of course, spoken around pinched cheeks so it's very well that reki may not be able to actually hear his words. ]

Yeah, I mean... you don't have to do stuff just cuz you think you have to.

[rekd]

Kinda. The team has a designated dude who begs me to come to games sometimes, but I don't go to practice or anything.

[ it's just kind of a deal that worked out. he needs the credits, they pretend he shows up, and he's there when that one guy asks hard enough. that guy whose name reki doesn't even know, he realizes. ]

But it'd be easier for us, right? If I was more... normal.

[tongxue]

[ qi fang's brows furrow, and he pushes himself up on his elbows so he can better see reki. ]

What does that even mean? Normal? Easier? [ all of it, everything reki just said. ] Easier how? Are we struggling right now?

[rekd]

Dude...

[ that's so many questions and reki isn't even sure what he was trying to say in the first place. he crosses his arms over qi fang's chest and leans his weight into them, trying to wrestle him back down. ]

It's just a question. I dunno what it's like for you to date me, but if there's things I can do to make it easier, why not?

[tongxue]

[ he sighs, feeling only slightly bashful that his reaction seems to be a bit over the top. he can't help it though; it may be second nature for reki to talk down on himself, but qi fang isn't used to it, nor does he want to be. ]

You're fine, man. Don't stress so much about it, it's not like I'm asking you to change.

[rekd]

[ it's nice to have someone who reacts strongly to things; it puts them both on the same page and feels more comfortable, familiar even. still not a valid excuse to escape any ribbing in THIS house, though. ]

You're right. Why stress about what my boyfriend's going through? Not like I like that guy or anything.

[ he leans in closer, brows knitting. ]

C'mon, man.

[tongxue]

Ass.

[ now it's qi fang's turn to pull on a cheek. ]

I'm trying to tell you I'm good. [ besides, reki's giving up so much already... ] If something comes up, I'll let you know. Okay?

[rekd]

[ reki blows out his cheeks. fuckin' beat that, chump. ]

Yeah, all right, but... I'm still gonna think about you. Kinda can't really stop all that. And I'm pretty sure if I could, that wouldn't be a good thing.

[tongxue]

[ newsflash reki is a dirty little cheat also water is wet!! ]

Definitely think about me, I work hard to occupy as much of your brainspace as I can.

[ fine he'll just boop your nose but remember: you asked for this. ]

But we're good. Better than good, even.
