Langa turned his head to get a better look at Rekis face. His heart was nearly beating out of his chest. At least that's what he feels like. They're both laying down on Rekis bed. The only sounds around them are insignificant background sounds from outside. The window was open despite the cold, making both of them seek the warmth of a thick blanket.
"I think the window should be closed," Reki says. He turns to look back at Langa. When Reki looks into his eyes he notices how close they are. "Can you go close it for me I don't wanna get up," Reki whines and pouts. It's hard for Langa to resist that face but he also really doesn't want to get up either. "I don't either," Langa says, his voice was really close to a whisper. He could get used to this. Laying down with Reki like this made him feel warm enough to ignore the temperature actually surrounding him.
"Please get it for me," Reki pulls out his best puppy dog eyes. Langa looks in his eyes for a while and sighs. He crawls out of bed like a monster stepping out of his cave for the first time in a decade. He keeps his trip short and gets back next to Reki as fast as possible, stumbling a little along the way.
"Do you wanna do something? Should we watch a movie?" Reki fidgets with his hoodie strings, eyes intensely glued to Langa. "I really don't feel like getting up. I kind of want to just not do anything," The blue haired boy tucks his hands under the pillow he was given and closes his eyes with a content hum. He's surrounded by the smell of his very own best friend. He has never felt more comfortable.
Reki doesn't seem to be so opposed to Langas idea. He doesn't insist on getting up to do anything. He has been up and active a lot lately and his seemingly endless energy is running out. Resting never hurts anyone. Reki wants to get closer to Langa. He doesn't even know if it's possible without full body contact. Their knees were already touching.
"Can I get closer? Do you mind if I like, touch you?" Rekis voice came out awkward and he was so sure his words could be interpreted in a different way from what he meant. "I don't mind," Langa mumbled, his voice unclear from being blocked by a pillow. Reki shyly sneaked his arm around Langa's torso. He had to scoot over even more to make his positioning less awkward. After a while of shifting around the boys settled down. Both of them had their arms around each other and Reki had a leg thrown comfortably on top of Langa's both legs.
“Hey Reki,” Langa moved his head to get a better look at Reki’s face. “Do you wanna make out?” Langa waited for Reki’s response. “No,” Reki said, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly. Langa’s face fell. “Oh, okay then, sorry,” Langa apologised and awkwardly pressed his head into his pillow. “You’re supposed to say ‘Me neither, whine, say ‘I wanna go to sleep’ and then fake snore. Have you heard some different version of it?” Reki says. The boys stare at each other for a while in complete silence.
Langa slowly blinked his eyes. He was in utter and complete disbelief. “Are you talking about that one tik tok audio?” Langa’s eyes were wide open. “Yeah? Were you not also?” Reki was almost as confused as his friend. “No I was genuinely asking,” Langa said and his brows furrowed. “Oh well that’s awkward for me,” Reki chuckled awkwardly. “We can do it if you still want to,” Reki suggested. “Oh it’s okay I wouldn’t want to make you uncomfortable,” Langa says. Reki’s face reddens unexpectedly. “I mean that I want it too bro,” Reki avoids Langa’s eyes. “You can’t call me bro when suggesting something like that,” Langa is holding back a smile.
“I’m sorry dude I can’t help it,” Reki says as if calling him dude is any better. “I’m not a very romantic person,” The red head shuts up and after a short while gasps as if he remembered something important. “Oh my god, you’re gay!” Reki sounds shocked. “Oh my god am I gay?” Reki sounds even more shocked. “I don’t know but if you want to make out I would hope you at least like guys,” Langa raised his eyebrow. “I know I do so for as long as you’re still questioning I’m not making out with you,” Langa says and readies his position for sleeping.
“Hey dude that’s not fair, how am I gonna know if I like guys or not if I don’t even get to try,” Reki whines. “I mean you like girls right and you know that without having ever made out with anyone,” Langa states. “What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying I don’t have action?” Reki says offended. “That is exactly what I’m implying. I haven’t seen you with a girlfriend,” Langa says matter of factly. “You know I do think I like you. I get this feeling around you that I’ve never felt before. It's hard to explain but right now I just really want to make out with you,” Reki sounded eager. The other boy let out a quiet laugh and smiled at the red head.
“Hmm… should I accept this offer?” Langa pretended to think deeply. “I don’t know, I guess we should go to sleep, it is pretty late,” Langa gave the other boy a smug grin. The gesture was slightly out of character for him but it could easily be excused by the lack of sleep. “Langa I don’t know if I’m gay or bi or anything but I know if I don’t get your mouth on me right now I will cry,” His face was completely serious. “And if I like it I’ll ask you to be my boyfriend and ask you on a date that I definitely haven’t totally planned for a long while,” Reki didn’t know what he was saying but he sure hoped it wouldn’t ruin their relationship. “Wow Reki I thought you didn’t know if you were gay or not,” Langa’s voice was teasing.
Langa took one look at his friend's desperate face and had decided that was enough. “I’m really hoping to get a boyfriend out of this,” He said as he leaned closer to Reki, slightly laying on top of him, to completely close their gap. And it’s no surprise at all, they both loved the feeling of being tangled in each other's limbs for the night.
