"Huh, they do?" That oblivious blank stare rolled over his face again, Langa really couldn't take the hint - could he? Leaving Reki doomed with the embarrassment that continues to follow around in conversations like these.

"I guess they kind of watch me a lot, but like I said I'm not really interested in any girls..." Glancing down at his plate before him something slipped out, like he was trying to avoid saying it all together or at least keep it to a mutter. "It's not even like I like girls anyway so what's the point."

“They do! They say stuff like that all the time,” he was grumbling now, resting his cheek on his palm with a huff. “One of them asked me to give them your number too… I didn’t, of course. I told her I can’t just give away people’s numbers like that.”

What the other muttered at the end made him pause, though. “Huh? You don’t like girls…?” His first thought was that the other meant that he’s more interested in other stuff, like food and skating, but the way the other phrased it sounded odd. “Do you have bad experiences with girls or something?”

Langa took beats of silence before he answered, setting his hands ever-so politely in his own lap as he tried to be as gentle as he could be about breaking the news to Reki that he had said yet another embarrassing thing for the both of them. "You called me handsome." He muttered a little under his breath but tried to keep his voice loud enough for at least Reki to hear. Although his face was far more pink than he wanted it to be - which he could tell it was in some capacity due to the heat he felt - he simply looked at Reki with a sort of dumbfounded expression.

"And it's not like I'm really interested in any girls... Not many talk to me in the first place." Langa admitted.

Okay, well, maybe he should just stop talking before he makes things any more awkward. Maybe he should just open a window and jump out. Actually, it wasn’t that big of a deal — it shouldn’t be, at least, but the way the other pointed it out was flustering him.

“I-I mean, it’s true,” he insisted in a mutter, “the girls in our class talk about how you’re handsome ‘n stuff. They just don’t know how to talk to you… You’d definitely be asked out by girls left and right if you were a little more social.”

Langa looked at the redhead with a puzzled expression written all over his face, sitting quietly mid-bite as he let the gears in his mind start to work on overdrive realizing what was just said. Quickly finishing the bite and swallowing the piece a little less chewed than he should of left it.

Coughing a little to clear his throat his cheeks flushed a little as he sunk in on himself a little. "I didn't realize I was like that but it can't be all too bad if you're calling it endearing." His voice was wavering a little out of embarrassment for repeating the fact Reki found it apparently a not-so-bad quality of his.

It was Reki’s turn to cough now, having abruptly swallowed his food.

“I… h-huh?” Did he really say that? “No, I just, I meant… you know, g-girls usually think that kind of stuff is endearing, and since you’re handsome and all, it fits you… o-or something like that,” he hurried to explain, though in all honesty, he had no idea what he was talking about himself. He didn’t even know why he felt the need to explain himself. “What I was trying to say is, just… just don’t worry about it, you know? It’s not a bad thing, so…”

Langa takes another bite of food and thinks on it, it made sense that it would be a force of habit. Though knowing that the action supposedly comes from his sister's mannerisms it made him a bit flustered. Maybe he was behaving a bit too childishly? He never minded relaxing around the other but to have something like that happen.

The blue-haired boy swallowed the bite before giving an understanding nod. "Makes sense.." he grumbled, a small flush on his face. "I just don't think I've had someone really do that to me in awhile, especially outside of my mom. Caught me off-guard." He admitted, picking up his drink and swiveling the contents around a little bit out of an anxious habit. The cool condensation returned him back to a little bit of normalcy but his cheeks stayed a faint pink. "Thanks regardless, it didn't feel like anything was there."

“Well, you do act like a kid sometimes…” he pointed out, taking a bite of his food, before gesturing around vaguely. “You get kinda spacey, and when you get excited about food it shows up on your whole face, like a child. I mean, it’s not a bad thing – it’s kind of endearing. It’s just that people here tend to be more… well, reserved, with that kind of thing, so it’s unexpected. You’re a bit too honest sometimes, too…”

That last part was mumbled under his breath. He didn’t mind the other’s childish habits at all, but the earnest honesty often caught him off guard. It didn’t seem like the redhead realized he called the other endearing, though.

@stickysweetwords / CONTINUATION.

“Why else would I wipe it, man?” the redhead asked, a hint of humor in his tone. “You just had some crumbs beside your mouth.” With that, he was about to continue with his own food, before a question made him pause mid-bite: was it strange for friends to wipe each other’s cheeks like that? He didn’t think much of it, but on the other hand, he definitely wouldn’t have done that with one of their schoolmates, for example. Okay, thinking about it like that made him a little self-conscious. “…Er, sorry. Force of habit. I’m used to wiping food off of my little sisters’ faces.”
